Chapter 18 The Soldiers Are Coming to the City

The sound of trumpets, heavy footsteps, shouts, and the clashing of nails rang out, and there was a rush in the tent.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

Song Joong Ki saw that there was no one around, lifted the corner of his robe, and hurriedly ran to Li Yan's side.

Li Yan and his party were changing armor and preparing to set off at the moment, and when they saw him coming, they couldn't help but smile.

"Isn't this Song Tongyi, why didn't you come to me in the North Korean military tent? Eh, Tianxiong, do you see my boots? ”

"Listen to me."

He grabbed the scoop and scooped a sip of cold water, followed Li Yan who was looking for military boots in the camp tent, and said.

"Who did you write about?"

"What was written to whom?" Li Yan didn't understand.

"How could you not know? The Kobayakawa Masakazu you killed is the most beloved grandson of Mori Mototo, one of the five elders of Toyotomi, and the good news of the war is now pressed on Admiral Lee's bookcase, and your documents are about to arrive in Yishu. ”

Li Yan was stunned, "The battle merits haven't been sent back yet, why don't you protect me first...... Oh. ”

His mind was also quick, and he naturally understood.

Kobayakawa Masakazu is a good start since the Ming Dynasty entered the dynasty, if the battle of Pyongyang breaks out, it may not be nothing, but at this juncture, it is a strange commodity to live in. Such a credit will not be taken by oneself.

If you report your military merits first and then promote, others will naturally not be able to share the benefits at all, and if you promote them first and then report your military merits, then you will be able to establish meritorious service for those who have just been promoted. In contrast, Li Yan's exploits earned by risking his life are naturally much dimmer.

In Song Tongyi's opinion, of course, the signature on the promoted book spy had to be written by Li Yan himself, whether it was written by his old boss Zu Chengxun, or someone else or something.

But Li Yan, as a native of the Celestial Dynasty, naturally understood. With this kind of twists and turns, how can you have the right to speak as a subordinate? Shangfeng finally informed that he had already given himself a lot of face.

Li Yan didn't feel resentful, the left and right were the result of the overall situation, it was better to think about what benefits he could get from it.

"This matter is inconclusive, and you came to tell me this?"

He was much more kind.

"Listen." Song Tongyi's face was solemn: "Tomorrow's army will attack Pyongyang, before the evening, the Admiral will promote you to do a nine-grade inspection before the three armies, and ask you to choose troops to follow, you remember, one is Wu Weizhong, the capital of Jizhen, 5,000 soldiers from Nanzhen, and the other is 1,500 Qi's army under the command of Xuanfu guerrilla Zhang. ”

Li Yan's body was stunned, and his eyes were sharp.

"How do you know?"

"Early this morning, Lord Yizheng (Korean Minister Yoo Sung-ryong) and your Ming army commander discussed the attack on Pyongyang, and I was also at the banquet."

"Huh." Li Yan sat down on the Hu bed. "Then why did you tell me?"

Song Tongyi was a little annoyed.

"I'm telling you this at the risk of losing my head."

"So what do you want?" Li Yan also frowned, "You have returned to the official mansion of the Korean State, why bother to entangle with us Qiu Ba, the big war is imminent, I don't have time to fight with you sloppily, what do you want me to do, you might as well be simple." ”

"You, you!"

Song Tong translated it as angry, and his voice was hoarse.

"I miss you and I being born and dying, and I am willing to take the risk to tell you this, or just when I am blinded by lard, I came to this scene in vain."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and gestured to leave.

Li Yan's eyes flickered for a while, but he still grabbed him and arched his hand with a smile.

"I'm a rough person and can't speak, don't be surprised by Brother Song. Today's scene, I, Li, remember it in my heart, he will be useful to me in the future, brother, just open your mouth. ”

Song Tongyi was indignant, and Li Yan sent him away without saying a word, and then he secretly thought about it.

"Nine products inspection? Jizhen Dusi? Xuanfu guerrilla? ”

……

The cup fell to the ground, shattering the scarlet liquor and dark green shards.

Konishi Yuki stood tall on top of a tall building, dressed in brocade clothes, with two short guns pinned to his waist, holding a letter raft in his fingers, and his eyes were red.

This piece of letter paper was shot in at noon from outside the city gate with a chiming spoon, and the ink on it was square and murderous.

"Raise troops to Jianggan at night, in order to say that the three Koreas are not safe.

Tomorrow's Sunday is strong, and the heroes release a cup of wine at night.

The murderous spirit is still strong in spring, and the demonic atmosphere is not cold.

Talking and laughing is not a chance to win, and I often remember crossing the saddle in my dreams! ”

Governor Konishi was silent for a long time, and behind the arrow stacks of the city gate tower in the distance, he could hear the hoarse shouts of the Japanese guards.

The Ming army has arrived.

Before the time of Shen passed, in front of Pyongyang City, the Ming Dynasty Chinese Army forwards galloped by, ordinary gates, secret gates, Changqing gates, Qixing gates, Zhengyang gates, and felt gates...... Under the bows and firearms of the Japanese people, they rode in formations, and every time they passed through the city gate, they would leave a square of a thousand men, and then the army pressed on them.

The snow is falling, the north wind is whistling and dancing, and the melodious and dull sound of horns, horses' hooves, footsteps, and wheels are like rolling thunder under thick dark clouds.

The Ming army of 20,000 and the North Korean army of 3,000 will make the city of Pyongyang impassable!

Shen Heyan stood in front of the formation, less than ten steps away from the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, the war horse behind him neighed violently, and the sword mountain and gun forest towered. The huge iron lance in front of him is full of visual oppression.

……

In front of the three armies, Li Rusong wore his armor through his armor, and his eyes were clear.

Li Yan was wearing chain mail, inconspicuous among the crowd, he silently listened to Li Rusong's dispatch of troops, and scolded Fang Xuan, a name jumped into his ears.

"Where is Li Yan, the former Chengwu Wei General Banner?"

Everyone's eyes brushed over him.

Li Yan didn't show any flustery, and the fish jumped out and touched the ground on one knee.

"The end will be."

"You have a meritorious role in returning to the camp to kill thieves, I am ready to report to the imperial court, and allow you to inspect the Long'an Mansion, and in wartime you will be included in the right army, and your subordinates will lead twenty people, which part you want to enter, you might as well say it."

Li Yan got up, but bowed to the ground.

"Killing the enemy for the country is a good man, and he doesn't dare to be picky, but he has to do the job of inspection, and he will have something to say in the end."

As soon as he said this, everyone was very dissatisfied, and felt that Li Yan was a little greedy and insufficient, Yi Yu was originally holding a celadon teacup, and with a snap, the bowl smashed on the teacup, he shook his wrist as if nothing happened, and did not speak.

"If you have anything to say, say it."

Li Rusong's face sank like water.

"Returning to the camp to kill the thief is what I and my brothers are doing together. When I brought them back to the camp, I made a promise to ensure that each of them was a flag officer, and now I have been added to the rank of knight, but a few brothers have not fulfilled their positions, and Yan does not dare to take this position. ”

"And what do you mean by that?"

Li Rusong felt that Li Yan was too small an official at first. But at the moment, it doesn't look like it.

"The last general is willing to use this nine-grade inspection in exchange for five of my brothers, each of whom has a flag officer."

There was a buzz from all of you.

"Do you know that the flag officer is not a product, but a white body, and if you say no, it will be gone, not to mention that you were born and died, so you gave up the credit."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to live with the three brothers who died along the way."

Li Yan's tone was resolute.

Adjutant General Yang Yuan bowed slightly, and sighed with appreciation: "It's a man." ”

Li Rusong felt a little headache, Li Yan's request was reasonable, it was difficult for him to refuse, and others seemed to him that he had given up his official body, and he had suffered enough.

However, even if the five flag officers are all full of fifty people, it is two hundred and fifty people, and even if they are small flags of twenty or thirty people, they have a full share of more than one hundred people!

The generals here, the more noble, are the deputy commanders of a place, with a thousand to thousands of subordinates, and the inferior ones are also five or six rank generals, and the infantry and cavalry under their subordinates. The minimum is four or five hundred, and the maximum is seven or eight hundred.

Even if it was only temporary, Li Yan's words also allowed him to send out half of the soldiers of the Sixth Rank General.

Just as he was hesitating, Song Yingchang opened his mouth and said:

"It's really rare for a general banner to have such loyalty, Lord Admiral, I think I might as well agree to him."

As soon as Li Rusong saw that even Song Yingchang, the minister of economic strategy, had helped him, he simply became more generous, and allocated Li Yan two general banners and three small banners, a total of 160 people, plus Li Yan's own general banner duties, what he could deploy at the moment was a full 210 people.

How many people can be under the inspection of Zhengjipin?

Thirty people are up to the sky, not as good as their original chief flag officer, dragon and tiger? Sooner or later, there will be, and the seahorse from the ninth grade is not good-looking, right?

"Where is Wu Weizhong, the capital of Jizhen?"

Li Rusong spoke.

"The end will be."

A general came out of the crowd.

"The city of Pyongyang has thick walls, echoing the Peony Peak in the north, if you want to break Pyongyang, you must go down to the Peony Peak, and when you attack the city at dawn tomorrow, you will lead 5,000 infantry to attack the Peony Peak."

"The last general commands."

Li Rusong said and turned his head: "Where is the Xuanfu guerrilla chapter?" ”

"You lead 1,500 Zhejiang troops, change into Korean civilian uniforms, and go to the southwest gate to meet with the Korean military headquarters Li Yibu, the Japanese people look down on the combat strength of the Korean army, and they will inevitably despise it, and when the city is attacked tomorrow, you will cover up with the Korean army under the Pyongyang city gate, and then show the banner of the Ming army at that time, and kill him by surprise."

"The last general commands."

"Yang Yuan of the Chinese Army, Shen Heyan of the Right Army led 5,000 troops to attack the Qixing Gate, 20 General Pei cannons, 50 Tiger Bottle Cannons, Li Rubai of the Left Army, and 5,000 troops led by General Li Fangchun to attack the ordinary gate. Led ten general cannons and thirty tiger cannons, and I personally led a large army of Shenji Battalion Bird Gun Team to suppress the formation. “

"Crane words." Li Rusong said again, "I expected that Governor Konishi would attack the camp tonight, and you would lead the 800 fire archers of the left army battalion to ambush, so that he would not come back." “

"The last general commands."

Shen Heyan grinned.

Li Rusong glanced at Li Yan. "Tonight, you will also go with Heyan."

Li Yan buried his head deeply.

"The Last General Commands ......"
