Chapter 422: Snow Field Strangulation
……… On the snow, the sound of artillery made a burst of roar, the far city wall has been blown up several gaps, the city under the dense wearing of robes of soldiers and horses continue to cheer in various languages, in front of them, the city wall of Guanjie City is like a blank paper, by countless artillery blasts out of the hole, and finally cracked, collapsed. Guanjie is an important town leading to Jilin City, and it is also a banner fortress in southern Liaoning, where there are more than 300 banner soldiers and hundreds of herdsmen and flag slaves hiding in the fort to resist stubbornly.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was covered in cowhide lacquered cotton armor, the samurai mask only left a pair of bloody pupils, his hands clenched the katana, and he looked at the increasingly timid flag soldiers in the city and let out a hideous smile: "Musashi, come here." ”
"Hey." A samurai stood up and bowed to the head of the house.
"Go and ask Senho-sama, when will the shelling be, if our samurai don't charge, the flower girl in the fortress will be killed." Tokugawa Tsunaki impatiently raised his katana and slashed at the mid-emptiness of the goose feather snowflakes, very impatient.
"Hey." Musashi immediately broke away from the samurai squad and ran towards the Ming artillery team.
The Korean capital was concurrently served by Yang Rang, the governor of the Beiyang Naval Division, Yang Rang led the main force of the naval division to the south of the Yangtze River, this time the operation was divided into two teams, a team of 30,000 people attacked Ningguta with Korean volunteers, and a team of 30,000 people attacked Jilin with Japanese samurai, each team was equipped with a thousand Ming artillery teams, on the surface, the commanders of the two teams were the Korean king Li Xian and the Japanese Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, but without the consent of the Ming army Qianhu, they could not act without authorization. Tokugawa Tsunaki's Japanese legions had captured five or six fortresses in a row, and now in front of them was Guanjie Castle.
After a few moments, the cannon fire finally stopped, and the legion of Japanese samurai, ronin, and guards immediately heard a cheerful cry, which indicated that the time had come to share the fruits of victory.
"Kill." Standing on a snowy hill, Tokugawa Tsunaki pointed his katana forward and roared like a beast.
"Kill." The formation of the Japanese army suddenly dispersed, and they rushed towards Guanjie City, shouting and killing loudly with full of energy.
The soldiers of the rear artillery team began to sit in the snow to rest, shoved hay into their mouths and watched the group of barbarians begin to clean, and Sennohe-sama carried a knife while inspecting the remaining ammunition, and looked with disdain at the Japanese soldiers who had rushed to the city and swarmed along the gap in the collapsed city wall. After a few days of getting along, the civilized Qianhu adults can be regarded as seeing through this group of barbarians, this group of people is even more barbaric than the Manchurians, usually nodding their heads in front of them, and when they see blood, they will swarm up, burn and loot, until the whole fortress is left with any living creatures, and when they leave, they have to take a few chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep to be satisfied.
A fire broke out in the city. This was followed by a hand-to-hand encounter, a resonance of gold and iron. Then there was another burst of screams. In the end. All that remained was the shouting of the people and the cries of the women. Of course. It was also rare for the Japanese soldiers to laugh and scold.
Qianhu took out the pocket watch in his arms. It's the moment of devotion. There is at least an hour left for this group of Japanese soldiers to finish their work. He had already spotted his subordinates staring straight at the ruined walls. Listening to the woman's screams, a look of envy emerged. Chiho coughed. He is a second-year graduate of the Royal Military Academy. That's not a good sign. And so on. The hard-trained soldiers might be spoiled by the barbarians.
"What are you looking at?" The military boots of the Thousand Households were fiercely trampled on the snow. Threatens those soldiers who are not honest in their eyes. As if at any time to make up for someone's ass: "We are the glorious artillery battalion of the Ming Water Division." You must not learn from the barbarians. Don't even think about it. Who violated military discipline. It is to discredit His Majesty the Emperor. All up. Now it's time to. ”
One by one, the artillerymen stood up helplessly and lined up. Grunted in his mouth............

Coming out of the city, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was content to carry seven or eight bloodstained heads. He tied his skull back in braid around his waist. Showing off military exploits. Then the Japanese soldiers came out in twos and threes. Most people are obviously not very satisfied. It's just a fortress. Including the Manchurian soldiers, there were only more than 1,000 people. There are fewer flower girls. Not even two hundred. Most people couldn't even get in line. The Japanese soldiers in the back began to lead the horses. Came out with chickens. The Japanese soldiers at the rear were responsible for setting the fire. An hour in time. The fortress of thousands of men was reduced to the wreckage of a barren land with severed arms.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi arrived at Chino's side, looked at the steaming Ming soldiers around him, laughed, and patted Chiho's shoulder: "The flower girl in Manchuria is good, haha, there is wildness, I like it very much, why don't you go?" ”
Chinohe held back his disgust, looked at the black pressed Japanese soldiers who had come out of the burning fortress, and said: "
It's dark, the front is Namuwoji, which is the most point near Jilin City, you must arrive before dawn tomorrow, His Royal Highness the King of Wa, gather your men and horses, and hurry quickly. ”
Tokugawa Tsunakishi's eyes lit up: "After Namu Woji, you will arrive in Jilin City, right?" Haha, hurry now. ”
The Japanese soldiers did not need to mobilize, let alone too many passwords, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said: "There is a big city ahead, and there are women, cattle and sheep everywhere." He immediately cheered up, Guanjie Fort was too small to even stuff the teeth of the Japanese soldiers, and many people couldn't even grab the spoils.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Contrary to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi all the way, the progress of the Korean volunteers led by Li Xian is not large, tens of thousands of Koreans have not marched on this snowfield for two days, after capturing a fortress, they have lost most of their morale, and even the officers whip and whip it to no avail, Ningguta is different from Jilin, the population here is more sparse than Jilin, and even walking on the snowfield for hundreds of miles sometimes don't want to see an enemy or a cow or sheep, look around, only the reckless snowfield extends in all directions, if there is no compass, Even the south, south, and northwest can't be distinguished, because everything here is the same, and all the scenery is not different, although the Koreans grew up in the north and have a strong sense of cold regionality, but in the face of such a land, they have lost patience, so that Li Xian is not willing to stay here, and plans to retreat with the Ming army Qianhu.
"Retreat? Absolutely not, my task is to carry out the orders of the General Staff, Your Highness, if you want to retreat, I will ask for an investigation of you. Qianhu almost jumped up, waving his fists excitedly, facing this puppet king, he was not afraid.
Li Xian closed his mouth helplessly, he was not angry at this Qianhu's disrespectful remarks, the fate of the Koreans was like this, when the Manchus ruled Korea, a Niu Lu could scold the king of Korea with a big grin, which was no different from now.
"There are cavalry, there are cavalry............" someone shouted.
The wind mixed with snowflakes passed by, and the air resounded with a clattering sound, and on the white snowfield, a rapidly moving cavalry moved towards the wind and snow.
The Korean volunteers began to panic, and the shadow of the Manmeng iron cavalry hovered in their hearts again, and it was still the Ming army that shouted: "The car formation." ”
Li Xian reacted, gave a loud order, and finally suppressed the situation, dozens of heralds gave orders to the battalion commanders, fortunately, in this year, the Koreans finally trained a trace of discipline under the supervision of the Ming army, and after a while, the front of the car hung spikes in front of the array.
In the vast snowfield, the fire gun due to the influence of moisture and cold can not play an advantage, the only way is to use the oldest car formation to meet the enemy, when the row of tail line chariots in front of the Korean soldiers, it can be regarded as the real Korean volunteers to find a sense of security, but their eyes are still full of fear, this thousands of years suffered by the Mongols, Japan, Han Chinese, Manchu invasion of the nation really does not have the courage to fight with the identity of the invader and its enemy, This is perhaps the first time that the North Koreans have fought a war on someone else's territory.
"I really can't figure out how today's Koreans have mutated into this, where did the self-confidence of the peninsular country, which has been a country that has been defeated for thousands of years, come from. 》
When the cavalry got closer and closer, Li Xiancai breathed a sigh of relief, there were not many cavalry in Manchuria, only about 3,000 people.
Li Xian had already roared loudly: "We will win." ”
"Victory." The North Koreans sensed the disparity between the other side and themselves, and they also raised their spears one after another.
At this time, the roar of the Ming artillery in the rear sounded, and an encounter without warning officially broke out.
The Manchurian cavalry galloped in the rain of artillery more urgently, and one of the leading leaders was shouting with a saber in the face of the wind and snow, and one by one the cavalry charged towards the chariot formation needlessly. Someone was hit by the iron ball fired by the artillery, and was smashed into flesh in an instant, but the inertia still made him rush forward several feet away, and then the man fell to the ground on his back, and blood splashed on the snowfield.
Rumble...... The cavalry rushed to the chariot without hesitation, and in an instant, there was another burst of people on their backs, but more Manchurian soldiers jumped off their horses at this moment, climbed onto the chariot, and the machete in their hands did not hesitate to slash at the stunned Korean soldiers, this is a crazy war, and the Koreans obviously did not realize this, a group of Korean soldiers actually retreated in front of several Manchurian soldiers who rushed through the chariot array, holding spears in their hands and not daring to stab out.
"Kill, those who take a step back will not be killed." Li Xian, who was pressing the formation in the rear, gave an order violently, and the herald opened his throat and roared loudly.
