A month passed quickly, and most of Zhang Yuncuo's military spending had already been raised.

Wanli was in a hurry, and the military expenditure was only halfway, so he hurriedly asked Li Rusong to cross the Yalu River to support North Korea.

At this time, it was almost December, and the weather was cold. Li Rusong asked Wanli to wait for the spring of the next year to enter Goryeo to quell the rebellion.

Nanjing City, Wanli Palace.

Wanli sits on the main seat, and the officials of Nanjing City are all gathered in the second, in addition, there are several close attendants of Wanli. In front of the palace, an official from the capital submitted Li Rusong's request to Wanli.

"Smack!" After Wanli finished reading it, he immediately slapped the table heavily. The ministers in the palace were frightened and bowed their heads one after another.

Wanli raised his head, threw the fold to the official, and said viciously: "Hmph, no. The order went down, and let Li Rusong immediately enter North Korea to help, and if he dared to delay any longer, he would be dealt with as fearful of war. ”

Zhang Yun glanced at Wanli, Wanli understood, and pretended to yawn: "Ah! I'm a little tired today, what's the matter... We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"The ministers are leaving." The ministers saluted and withdrew in an orderly manner. After the ministers retreated, there were only a few people left in the palace, including Wanli, Zhang Yun, and Feng Bao.

Zhang Yun pondered for a while, and then arched his hand to Wanli and said: "Your Majesty, it's really not that General Li is shirking, but that the time is in a hurry now, and the soldiers' winter clothes are not ready."

Moreover, the minister heard that the winter in Goryeo was abnormally cold, and if he rashly marched now, it would be half the effort. ”

Wanli replied angrily: "But, am I just watching my subject country being bullied now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the walls of Pyongyang are tall. In addition, the Goryeo army and civilians have no way to retreat, so I think they should be able to hold out until General Li rescues them. ”

When Wanli heard this, his heart calmed down a lot, "Okay, let him enter Goryeo at the beginning of spring next year, and don't delay." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Yun asked again: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shoufu has already arrived in the capital, and he has sent someone to ask, when will you return to Beijing?" ”

A trace of panic flashed across Wanli's face, and he replied hesitantly: "I... I still have some things to deal with in Nanjing, and I will naturally return to Beijing when I am done. ”

......

Pyongyang City.

The remnant sun was like blood, and the open space in front of the city was full of corpses, and the thick smell of blood rose to the sky. There was a trace of fire dancing on the dead trees outside the city, and there were crows chirping on the trees of "dumb, dumb ......", which was particularly sad.

After a day of fruitless attack, the Japanese dynasty began to slowly withdraw to the camp. The North Korean army has lost count of the first time it has repelled an attack by the Japanese invaders.

The soldiers in the city were all red-faced with blood, and today they once again held the city of Pyongyang. Looking at the retreating Japanese invaders, the surviving soldiers shouted loudly, venting the fear in their hearts.

Waiko barracks.

Yukinaga Konishi gathered with the four little Japanese minds, and he slammed his fist on the table, "Bang! Then he roared: "Eight Ga Ya Road!" ”

"This group of damned North Koreans, after I break the city, there will be no one left."

The other three looked at each other, and they rarely saw Yuki Konishi so out of shape. In their impressions, Konishi Yukinaga has always been the kind of person who is gentle and elegant.

However, it is no wonder that he is like this, it has been a month since he besieged the city of Pyongyang, and he has lost countless soldiers, and now he still has not broken the city, and it is about to enter winter. There was also constant news from the rear that North Korean guerrillas were secretly attacking their garrisons.

As soon as he thought of this, Governor Konishi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Pass the order, let all the soldiers voluntarily form a death squad tonight, and I will personally lead the team." ”

The faces of the three of them changed greatly, and they shouted in unison: "Xiao Xijun! ”

"Don't persuade you any more, if you don't drag it out, it will be winter. Are we going to spend the winter in this wilderness? ”

The three of them laughed, and then stopped talking.

Soon, the news that Governor Konishi had selected a death squad and personally led the team spread throughout the battalion. After the soldiers who participated in the battle heard that the city was broken, they could not seal the sword for seven days, and there was also a reward, which greatly boosted their morale. They all signed up enthusiastically, and there were 7,000 death squads in 1 hour.

Captain Konishi walked through the ranks, scanning the soldiers who had gone to the night attack one by one, arranging their outfits from time to time, and patting them on the shoulders from time to time.

"Yo Xi, you are true warriors. Go, pick up the knife in your hand, and get what belongs to you! ”

Governor Konishi brainwashed everyone, and then took advantage of the night to run to Pyongyang City. Because there were dark clouds tonight and only a little light, more than 7,000 people quietly came to the city walls.

A North Korean soldier on the city wall looked down the city and found that his head was shaking again. At first, I thought it was my own dazzle, but when I wiped it and looked again, the head still didn't disappear.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack !!" The soldiers shouted loudly.

Suddenly, torches lit on the city wall, illuminating the pitch-black open space under the original city wall as if it were day. More than 7,000 members of the death squad appeared in front of everyone.

"Royalties, royalties!!" Xiao Ri saw that it was discovered, and ......more than ten cloud ladders were instantly erected on the city wall. They climbed up the ladder to the wall.

"Hey, hey, hey." Captain Konishi was out of range of the Korean army, constantly urging the soldiers behind him to charge.

"Woo.....oo Bang bang bang ......" instantly, the battlefield was covered with arrows, and white smoke was floating on the city wall.

The death squad also carried a shield this time, a shield in one hand and a katana in the other, and kept climbing up the city walls.

Due to the exhaustion of the Korean army during the day, this was also the first night attack by the Japanese army. Now only a few people are defending the city, and gradually there are death squads climbing the walls.

One, two, three......

"Yo Xi!" Not far away, Konishi Yukicho laughed out loud as he watched the soldiers climb the city wall.

"Kill!!" A part of the Korean army on the city wall besieged the little day that had reached the top of the city.

"Bang, clang, clang......" The sound of metal colliding instantly resounded on the city wall.

The few days they spent climbing the walls were considered brave, and they were seen wielding their katanas, and with each swing of the sword, one fell. Frightened, the North Korean army, which was still besieging, did not dare to move forward.

More and more small days poured up on the city wall, and gradually hundreds of people were standing on the city wall, pushing the Korean defenders back.

While the Korean defenders stopped the people on the ladder, they also had to take care of the small life at the head of the city.

Xiao Ri, who climbed to the top of the city, showed a cruel smile on his face: "Yo Xi, you guys are dripping, all of them are dead, they are all dripping." ”

Looking at Xiao Ri, who was brandishing a katana and rushing towards him, the North Korean army was already frightened and wanted to escape.

"Bang bang bang bang......" The sound of fire guns came. The little day of the charge fell in response.

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived." The rest shouted. It turned out that Li Hui heard the movement, and immediately led people to climb the city wall, just when he happened to bump into Xiaori who was about to break the city.

Li Hui looked at the remaining widows and said coldly to the soldiers around him, "Kill them all." ”

Due to the addition of the new force, the morale of the DPRK army was greatly boosted. Several soldiers also worked together to push the ladder over, and the widow who was still on the ladder let out a scream and fell down.

The Japanese on the city wall instantly became a lone soldier and were gradually strangled by the Korean army. Not far away, Konishi Yukinaga looked at this scene, pounding his head and pausing with a look of chagrin.

"No retreat, no retreat. Give me all back. "Watching the soldiers running backwards, Captain Konishi screamed again and again." Yaga, Yaga. Don't give back, give me back, I'll go. ”

The adjutant beside him grabbed Governor Konishi: "Konishi-kun, retreat, the North Korean army has already reacted." You see, the four walls are already full of people, and if you charge again, you will only waste the lives of the warriors. ”

Only then did Governor Konishi come to his senses and take a second look at Pyongyang City, and the city walls were indeed crowded with people.

"Withdraw!" Konishi gritted his teeth and retreated.

By the time we got back to camp, it was just dawn. Konishi walked back to his bedroom in a huff, and then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

It was noon, and Konishi slowly opened his eyes. At this time, he looked solemn and thought about where the troops would go next.

I'm afraid that the city of Pyongyang will not be broken for a while, and winter will soon come. Reason told him that the best option now was to retreat to Seoul. There is still enough food and grass to survive the winter.

Now that North Korea has lost seven of its eight provinces, only Pyongan Province, where Pyongyang is located, is still in North Korea's hands.

As soon as he thought of this, Governor Konishi's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he also made a decision in his heart. So he immediately got up and came to the conference room, and at the same time called Fujita Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, and Kuroda Nagamasa.

The three of them knew that last night Konishi Yukichang folded for a while, and they were still a little happy in their hearts. This kid is angry on weekdays, and no one pays attention to him, but now it's hard to see him deflated, and the three of them are naturally so happy.

Naturally, Governor Konishi also noticed the slightly gloating expressions on the faces of the three of them, scolded secretly, and then squeezed out a smile: "Fujita-kun, Fukushima-kun, Kuroda-kun, I've already decided, let's go back to Seoul now." ”

"What?!" The three screamed.

Kuroda Nagamasa asked coldly, "Did the general agree?" ”

"I think the general will agree. Winter is coming, and our soldiers don't have winter clothes, so should we wear autumn clothes and fight the North Korean army? ”

After hearing this, the three of them stopped talking, which can be regarded as acquiescing to President Konishi.

In the evening of the same day, Konishi Yukicho conveyed the order to temporarily retreat to Seoul. The soldiers under his command were naturally happy, and they fought again and again, and now they were finally able to rest.

Early the next morning, when the North Korean army woke up, they found that the Japanese camp not far away had disappeared. At first, they thought they were dazzled, but when dozens of people confirmed it, the North Korean army let out a deafening cheer.

Li Hui heard the movement, hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, and found that the Japanese had indeed withdrawn, and shed two lines of tears for a while.
