Chapter Thirty-Six: First Strike

Ye Shen would not have known, and now there are disputes in the Goryeo court, and the military faction and the retreating faction are in chaos. The king of Goryeo also hesitated. The might of the Ming soldiers frightened him. But the more frightened you are, the more you want to fight. The reason is simple, the king of Goryeo is young and vigorous, and he is unwilling to bow to Daming. Because as soon as you bow your head, the disputed areas on both sides of the Yalu River will be ceded to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, let Daming know that Goryeo is powerful.

Ye Shen didn't need to know this. All he needed to know was that there were about 10,000 troops stationed in the city of Uiju. It should be the vanguard of the Goryeo Army.

And there was a large army movement in the rear of Goryeo. There will only be more and more enemies, and even after three or five days, tens of thousands of troops will come in, and Ye Shen is not surprised. This is also the reason why Ye Shen was ready to strike first as soon as he got He Xi's permission.

Although the ratio of friend to enemy is nearly ten to one, Ye Shen's department is the elite of Liaodong, and the Goryeo army is obviously worse than the Ming army, even if there is a city. Ye Shen also felt that he could fight a dozen.

To win over the Jurchens, on the one hand, it is to have one more manpower, and it will be of any use. Even if it's a flag-waving and shouting, it's fine. Another reason is that the manpower on the Ming side is already stretched, and if the Jurchens are pulled over by Goryeo again, they will be even more passive.

After all, Goryeo has always had a Jurchen court, and there is a master of wooing the Jurchens, which is Li Chenggui.

Li Chenggui's father is the head of Yuan Shuangcheng. The twin cities, that is, Hamhung, were dedicated to Goryeo. was able to be promoted to the rank of knight, and the place of Shuangcheng is very close to the Jurchen place. Li Chenggui had a very good relationship with the Jurchens, and when Li Chenggui returned to the army to seize power in history, there were Jurchen followers.

Ye Shen checked the three thousand strong men of Meng's brother Timur, these people are very good in physical fitness, they are very good hunters, but they have no military training, they can fight alone, but they can't fight in war. Nurhachi still spent many years under Li Chengliang before learning this.

The only good thing is that these Jurchens all brought horses. Ye Shen doesn't have to worry about this.

After all, the Jurchens originally raised horses. Even the horses of the Jurchens were much more abundant than the war horses of Liaodong. In the Liaodong horse market, the main force selling horses is the Jurchens.

Ye Shen immediately distributed the weapon to Meng's brother Timur. Brother Timur was overjoyed, and felt that even for these weapons, this time it would be enough to sell his life. Said immediately; "Say, sir, what shall we do?"

Ye Shen said; "Nothing to do. If you have to say something to do, take care of it. ”

"Ah-----" said the fierce brother Timur.

------

The city of Uiju has a desolate feeling under the setting sun.

Brother Meng's Timur stood on a high place, watching the horse team of more than 100 people from a distance, slowly approaching Yizhou City.

To be honest, he knew that when Ye Shen came to attack Yizhou, he was very worried that these Jurchens would become cannon fodder. However, he didn't expect that Ye Shen would have this siege method, leading the horses with more than 100 horsemen, and slowly approaching Yizhou City from the west.

It seems that because there are many people in the city of Yiju, it is almost a military city at the moment. Coupled with the entry and exit of a large number of military supplies, the personnel on the city gate are on alert. But the gates were not shut. At this moment, under the sunset, watching a group of people leading horses from a distance, I can't see who these people are?

And Ye Shen was dressed in armor, covered with a layer of linen clothes, which was covered sturdily, although his body was bulging, he knew that something was wrong at a glance. But you can't see it from a distance.

Ye Shen silently looked at Yizhou City. He has already scouted here I don't know how many times, and even, he himself has infiltrated the city of Uiju many times, and he knows everything about the city of Uiju, and he doesn't know what era the city was established. It is very likely to be the Song Liao period, anyway, in a word, the city defense of this Yizhou city has fallen behind the times, there is no urn city, and there is no outer city, rushing into the city gate, it will be unimpeded immediately.

He didn't know how a dangerous place like Uiju could be the first line of defense in Goryeo.

However, it does not prevent him from taking advantage of it.

Ye Shen felt that the distance was about the same, and suddenly turned over and got on the horse, and without a sound, he rode the horse for a long time. More than 100 riders rushed over like a whirlwind.

It is less than three miles away from the gate of Yiju, about 1,500 meters.

It takes up to 10 minutes to ride a horse. This is also because these war horses are not racing horses after all. And they are not so light as to wear almost a single trouser rider, but each of them has nearly a hundred pounds of responsibility, in addition to armor, there are long knives, hand-crossbows, strong crossbows, longbows, two pots of arrows, knives, kettles, dry food, saddles, and so on.

It's good to be able to run at this speed.

In the first 500 meters, no one seemed to notice it on the head of the city of Uiju.

In the second five hundred meters, the head of the city of Yiju began to shout loudly: "What are you, prohibit Mercedes, prohibit Mercedes." ”

The soldiers in front of the city gate also pushed the horses to the middle of the road, trying to block the visitors.

The third 500 meters, the city gate is close at hand. Only then did someone react and need to close the city gates.

It's a pity, I don't know if there is no jack gate in the city of Yiju, or it is very troublesome to use a jack gate, because it is easy to put it down, and it is not easy to pull the jack gate up again, after all, in this era, there is no other power, it is purely human.

It's such a big gate, it's hard to think about.

However, it doesn't matter why they make this choice. Anyway, they're going to pay for what they do.

Ye Shen galloped on his horse, his speed did not decrease, but he bent his bow and arrows, and shot seventeen arrows in one breath, killing all the soldiers under the city gate, and the arrows were not missing. And he didn't stop at all, as soon as he lifted the reins, even the people and horses seemed to fly over the rejection of the horse, and rushed into the city, and the soldiers who fell behind him, immediately someone threw out the rope sleeve, put it on the rejection of the horse, with the help of horsepower, a mention, the rejection of the horse was forced. The rest of the people have general, do not slow down, gallop into the city, and the other general, turn over and dismount, and control the city gates.

With a firecracker. A large group of people hiding in the distance also rushed over.

The distance of the fierce brother Timur is a little far, and I can only see an approximate one. For a while, they were all stunned, and they secretly said in their hearts; "Can it still be like this?"

Doing so seems to be a wave of recklessness. In fact, Ye Shen is both wise and brave, wisdom lies in the grasp of the timing, how far can it arouse the vigilance of the enemy, and how many people will not be regarded as a threat by the enemy. Then there is courage, in the city of Yizhou, there are more than 10,000 troops, and Ye Shen almost broke into it alone. Open the way for the whole army.

But the whole army was less than half of the enemy's army.

There are only a few dozen personal soldiers around him, and just these few people dare to break into the tiger's den in Longtan.

This courage is more amazing than wisdom.

However, the fierce brother Timur was surprised and surprised, and he did not forget the business. He took his 3,000 men and horses and galloped to the gate of Uiju.

And at this moment, Ye Shen was already between life and death, and he had fought back and forth a few times.

Behind the Uiju City Gate is a street, and the West Gate of Uiju directly faces the East Gate.

Why is it said that the defense of Yizhou city has long been backward, it is because many cities in the Central Plains are very simple, and the city gates on both sides are opposite, in order to increase the difficulty of the siege party, many cities are blocked between the city gates and the city gates, or simply staggered a little.

And the team in front of Ye Shen in Yizhou City Street has become Ye Shen's battlefield.

Ye Shen is not a million enemies. At most, it is a hundred enemies.

He followed his father Ye Wang since he was a child, and practiced in the summer. Winter practice Sanjiu, boil your muscles and bones. One body of force is not conceded to others, but the peak of individual force is probably a hundred enemies, and more than 100 enemies are not just a matter of force.

Even if it is a hundred enemies, they are all fought with their brains. And not with physical strength.

It's like now that Ye Shen is the first to bow and arrow, he has turned around in the city gate, and the two pots of arrows in his hand have been shot out.

With this kind of shooting two hundred arrows in one go, even Ye Shen felt that his fingers seemed to have been cut off raw, and his arms had some feeling that he couldn't lift them. And when you shoot at the end, you won't be able to get on the spot. But the enemy troops inside the city gate were still frightened, and they instinctively fled.

Ye Shen pulled out his spear and urged the horse to move, regardless of whether he was alone. Or a hundred people. chased after the tails of those who had fled.

Kill a bloody way.

And the Ming army rushed in from this city gate, and even the Jurchens were not to be outdone. And at this time, the Goryeo generals reacted.
