Now the main forces of the two armies are fighting a decisive battle here, if the Ming army continues to retreat, he will continue to pursue until it is eliminated, and the other troops of the Ming army, as long as they can bear it, will not be tough for the time being, and they will turn back and destroy it after the Chinese army is eliminated. But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Chu Fan saw that the second army had fallen into the trap, and couldn't help laughing, and the general ordered: "All the Chinese troops stop retreating, and those who retreat again will be beheaded."

Seeing that Chu Fan's Chinese army suddenly stopped retreating, the second army didn't understand what kind of rhythm this was at first, but a loud "boom" told them that this was the rhythm of looking for death.

The artillerymen who were sent to the south gate to stand by before, seeing that the sky was almost dark, but they didn't see any tasks, thought that they wouldn't even be able to earn a hundred taels of silver today, but they didn't want to actually drop a big gift package from the sky.

The camp of foreign weapons was preparing to eat dry food and make beds, but they heard the sound of killing in the city, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and when they observed on the city wall, they found that the Chinese army led by Chu Fan was retreating on the great plain in the south gate, and they were followed by a dense secondary army, the secondary army was chasing happily, Chu Fan was also happy to run, and the artillerymen were even more happy.

Just hear one voice: "Business is coming!" ”

All the artillery immediately began the process of operation, hundreds of Francophone cannons fired continuously, only to hear a cannon sound on the south gate of the great plain.

This large plain area, that is, suitable for large-scale operations, more suitable for large-scale artillery bombardment, the second army is hiding and has nowhere to hide, and there is nowhere to run, there is Chu Fan blocking the way in front, and Yang Yuan, Zhang Shixun, and Wu Weizhong are pursuing in the back, and in the middle is a purgatory-like bombing area, which is simply worse than death.

Not to mention that Governor Konishi has a great talent for commanding, although there are Ming troops everywhere and there is nowhere to run, he still finds a loophole - the south gate itself.

The south gate is not too big, and the artillerymen fire their cannons on the tower, so why don't we go up and kill them?

But when they rushed up the city tower, they saw a black-faced general who suddenly appeared under the south gate, who was it?

This person is Li Ning, who was exchanged by Li Rubai from the East Gate.

Although the number of people is not large, more than 2,000 people, it is enough to protect the south gate and the artillery on the upper floor in this time.

In addition to those killed by the bombing, there were also those who were killed by their own people in a panic, and those who threw people out and fell to their deaths when they were frightened.

The people of Cibo are not afraid of death, but this feeling of waiting for death is still very terrible, and they can only keep running.

And what about the Ming troops on both sides of the South Gate? In order not to injure himself by mistake, he just surrounded the secondary army in the middle, and did not fight, nor charged, but blocked the road and watched them be bombed in the middle.

In the end, there were some remaining ones who had not killed the secondary army, only non-stop running, turning runs, Z-shaped runs, S-shaped runs, and 8-shaped runs.

And what about the artillery on the towers of the city?

actually learned to predict in advance, guess their running route in advance, and shoot directly at the next hypothetical position when the second army started, hit, and collectively whistled to celebrate, and if it didn't hit, there was a burst of "boo" ridicule, and it was completely hilarious, just like listening to cross talk.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too wasteful of shells, it is estimated that they would have been able to play all night.

The result of this battle was that the main force of the Ming army only used a few hundred people to completely annihilate most of the first army of the second army, and the second army, which was attacked in three dimensions from the front and rear, escaped less than 5,000 people from the gap left for them by Chu Fan.

Governor Konishi still had a relatively large life, and he was one of the more than 5,000 people who escaped.

Governor Konishi, who fled back to Qixingmen, didn't understand why the Ming army deployed artillery at the south gate in advance? After all, Guangcang Mountain can break through in all four directions, how can they calculate that I will just run to the Nancheng Plain?

However, the people of Jibo were stubborn, and Konishi Yukinaga quickly gathered all the surrounding forces and prepared for a decisive battle with the Ming army at Qixingmen.

Chu Fan, who chased all the way to the Seven Star Gate, was followed by Zha Dashou, Yang Yuan, Zhang Shixun and Zu Daxun and other Ming army men's heavenly groups, gathered in front of the door for nothing else - to visit.

I only heard Chu Fan shouting: "Pull that thing up!" ”

The so-called thing is the enlarged Franc machine gun, which is more than three feet long, with a charge of two catties and lead, that is, the shell weighs five catties and has a range of two miles.

Because it is too large and bulky, it is rarely used, but this time Li Rusong still brought it, and it was dragged by cavalry on a carriage, which may be the earliest horse-drawn artillery cart unit in the world.

But this thing has always had a few flaws, due to immature technology, this thing is easy to blow up, and the accuracy is not good, and it's not fun to accidentally injure your own people, so it's not a last resort, and you don't usually use this guy.

A few days ago, Chu Fan saw this thing, he was really excited for a while, and through research, he found that this thing exploded because the inside of the gun chamber was not smooth enough, which caused the lead to a violent impact in the chamber, and on the other hand, because when the lead was fired, it did a disorderly movement in the gun chamber, resulting in no accurate head when it was shot.

Therefore, Chu Fan made improvements to it, asking craftsmen to chisel out a rifling line in the barrel according to the shape of the lead, and then further polished the inside to make it smoother, and smeared butter on the lead and the barrel to reduce the friction between the lead and the chamber.

Today, it finally came in handy.

Set up a gun, load, aim, you're all set.

Chu Fan gave an order, and the cannon let out an earth-shattering roar, without exploding the chamber or accidentally hurting, and accurately hit the gate.

The Gate of the Seven Stars was blown open.

The annihilation battle of the South Gate and the fall of the Seven Star Gate made the morale of the second army fall to the bottom, and all the main forces of the Ming Dynasty army in front of the gate gathered, which made the second army completely fall into despair.

Nearly 40,000 Ming troops carried broadswords and attacked the inner city of Pyongyang.

Under normal circumstances, when the war is fought to this extent, the winner should be decided, the escape should be fled, the pursuit should be pursued, everyone is fine, and the war will come to an end, but Konishi Yukinaga is not that kind of person.

After the loss of the Seven Star Gate, the secondary army fled in all directions, but Konishi Yukinaga gathered his troops very calmly and occupied the most dangerous high ground in the inner city to prepare to fight the Ming army.

You said that if you defend your home and defend the country, throw your head and spill your blood, and fight to the end, you can be regarded as full of patriotic feelings, you say that you are an invading army, you come to occupy the territory of other Koreans, and you have to resist stubbornly, and you will not leave, and it is really only the people of the second Poland who can do it.

The main places where the secondary army was entrenched were the North Gate and the Peony Terrace. It is regarded as the highest position in Pyongyang City, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Konishi Yukina's wishful thinking is to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and then fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.

But Chu Fan didn't play any trick with you about cutting off water and electricity and besieging him for a few days, he went into the inner city to take a look, and directly notified the whole army, no need to fight, go find wood for me.

Qiao Feng, who has been promoted to the commander of the twine battalion, finally looked forward to his time to appear and became a hard-working lumberjack, and as long as there was more than the thickness of his forearm in Pyongyang, there was not a single piece of wood left, and all of them were cut down by the twine battalion.

That night, bundles of firewood were piled up under the peony platform.

Qiao Feng rushed to report that the firewood had been set up, please give your orders.

Chu Fan waved his hand: "Burn"!

The human meat barbecue party kicked off in this winter night, and if you want to say that the second army at the south gate in the afternoon experienced purgatory on earth, then the current peony platform may be a natural crematorium.

The second army thought that they could hold out in for a few days, but they didn't expect that Chu Fan didn't want to leave them all night.

The secondary army on the peony platform was surrounded by raging fire, Qiao Feng outside was still continuing to add firewood, slowly advancing inside like a wall of fire, and the billowing smoke made the secondary army neither see the Ming army outside, nor have nowhere to fight, so they could only worry about the approaching wall of fire.

Bai Ding saw that he was stupid, and called the Xiangqi Palace, which had just hit Yuan and landed in Youshuang, and knotted me to fight inside.

Cannons, muskets, rockets, and all sorts of messy things were thrown in, rockets and artillery flew all over the sky, the secondary army was burned and fled in all directions, and the screams of hissing and lungs came one after another.

Seeing that it was okay here, Chu Fan arranged the siege and went to see Li Rusong.

The best performer tonight was Qiao Feng, although Chu Fan was not there, he still worked very hard to add firewood all night, and dutifully made the defenders on the peony platform into freshly roasted people.

The people inside, who were burned and screamed, ran around with fire, and the people who were shot by the rockets ran around, but accidentally rushed into the fire, and the people who were not shot were hit by the people who were on fire, and they were also ignited, and then they went crazy to hit others, in short, this night the peony platform screamed for half the night, and the ghost knows what happened inside, because there were only ghosts left inside.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Rusong was carried into the peony platform in the inner city, this yesterday's secondary army defense point, just came in, he smelled a strong scorching smell, only to see that this place has been silent, countless corpses fell to the ground, the posture is strange, the limbs are twisted and deformed, basically has become black charcoal, unrecognizable.

Thousands of soldiers were burned alive in this natural crematorium, and the scene was simply horrific.

Li Rusong is a typical warmonger, when he saw this scene, he actually laughed out loud, laughed until the wound bleed, coughed nonstop, fainted, and then stopped.

Seeing that General Li was so excited, he had already reached the point of fainting, and everyone was also angry, carrying his old man back to the post house.

Chu Fan, who should have rested and rested, continued to command until the second army was completely destroyed.

After killing the defenders of Peony Terrace, now all that is left is the 2,000 people under the head of Konishi Xingchang entrenched at the north gate and more than 3,000 stragglers hiding everywhere, 120,000 has become a few thousand, and the most important thing is that the Ming army has almost no big losses.

The hearts of the secondary soldiers have already collapsed, and they don't know which immortal they offended in their previous life, so that he ran into an opponent like Chu Fan, and it was just a matter of being bombarded, and he was burned alive, which was too much.

No matter how stubborn the secondary army was, they couldn't stand Chu Fan's blow, and finally they decided not to be stubborn, they should run or run, but the Ming army had already occupied almost all of Pyongyang, where to run?

The West Gate, which was first captured by the Ming Army, the West Gate, the South Gate, was captured last night, and now it will definitely not be able to get out, and the remaining North Gate, East Gate.

Outside the north gate, Chu Fan arranged for Zu Dashou to lead more than 2,000 soldiers to feint outside for a whole day, although he did not break the door, but the bombardment has not stopped, and this morning, Chu Fan arranged for thousands of people to strengthen the offensive at the north gate.

East Gate? Since yesterday, the East Gate has been the quietest, except for a few shells outside the city, there is no movement, I heard that there are not many Ming troops outside the East Gate, the second army is overjoyed, and finally found a way to live.

The troops from all walks of life ran to the east of the city, Chu Fan saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, and arranged for Zha Dashou to take a few teams of people and horses casually, and symbolically chased after him.

Obviously, the second army has not been in Pyongyang for a long time, or has not studied the terrain of Pyongyang well, in short, Deputy General Chu has carefully read the map.

Yesterday, when Chu Fan promulgated the three general orders, Zha Dashou asked him why Dongcheng let Li Rubai only bring 500 people to attack the city, Chu Fan told him that the siege must be lacking, but Zha Dashou didn't think of a question, why did he stay at the east gate?

When Cha Dashou chased the second army to the east gate, he found the answer.

Outside the east gate, there is a large river with wide waves.

When the second army ran out, they were dumbfounded, they ran back, and they couldn't let it, and they could only run around the root of the city wall, and those who ran south were about to run under the crotch of the Ming army on the south gate city wall, and those who ran north ran to the end only to find that there was no road, and the river also turned left.

It's a dead end to the south and north, and there is a strong chase after the deputy chief soldier Cha, there is really no choice but to go east, how to go east? - Jumping into the river.

This day is the eighth day of the lunar month, the first day of March and September, and there is a strong wind.

As for why the river didn't freeze on such a cold day, you have to ask Li Rubai about this.

Yesterday, Chu Fan arranged for him to take 500 people to feint to attack the east gate, he was very unhappy, and went to his brother to complain, after listening to Li Rubai's relays of Chu Fan's arrangement, Li Rusong understood a rough idea, and said to Li Rubai: "You don't want to thank Chu Fan, people have given you the best opportunity to make great contributions."

"I thank him? Phew! ”

Li Rusong is Li Rusong, he actually counted one step more than Chu Fan, because when he inspected the periphery of Pyongyang the day before, he had already seen ice on the big river, and Chu Fan did not think of this festival when he arranged it.

It was Li Rusong who gave his scrap brother one or two, and asked him to send artillery to blow up the ice last night, and those that couldn't be blown up had to be chiseled, so Li Rubai didn't sleep all night last night and worked hard all night.

Today, it finally came in handy, and without much effort, he won the outstanding combat exploits of intercepting more than 3,000 people from the rest of the Second Army, which provided a strong proof for the reinstatement of officials in the future, and even the promotion to knighthood.

Li Rusong, who was lying in the post house, couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he heard the news that the second army had jumped into the river outside the east gate and froze into popsicles.

Now in the city of Pyongyang, all that remains is the 3,000 troops of Governor Konishi.

Speaking of which, Konishi Yukicho is indeed very bushido-spirited, and he has already fought like this, and he is still stubbornly resisting and refusing to surrender. It is guarded on the north gate tower and is strictly guarded.

The north gate city defense is very strong, the shelling has been two days, there is still no sign of breaking the door, the city wall is very high, the fire can not burn, storm it, Konishi Yukichang is with some elite samurai in the first army of the army, guarding the two entrances, attacking more than a dozen times, there is no way to break through, the Ming army also killed and injured a lot of people.

Standing under the north gate, Chu Fan's eyes rolled, called Zha Yingkui, and arranged: "Prepare a letter and tell Governor Konishi that I could have killed him, but I don't want to kill too many people, let you live, and let you retreat from the north gate." ”

Cha Yingkui looked at this brazen person, just a tongue, and said in his heart: You don't want to kill too much? I arranged the artillery at the south gate yesterday? I let someone set the fire last night? I forced them to jump in the river this morning?

But scolding in my heart and scolding in my heart, the task arranged by the leader still has to be completed, and soon, the letter was drafted: with my troops, it is enough to annihilate in one fell swoop, but I can't bear to kill people, so I retreat for the north gate and let you live.

The letter was sent smoothly to the north gate, and soon, President Konishi replied: We are willing to retreat, please do not intercept behind.

Governor Konishi must have a bad memory, or he made a very stupid and naïve mistake, he can still negotiate with General Chu, and he still believes in General Chu's words, it's really cute.

Just when Konishi Yukinaga had just escaped from the north gate with the 3,000 troops of the army, he met a man - Cha Dashou.

It stands to reason that the 3,000 people led by Governor Konishi are the absolute main force in the secondary army, and after going through so many tribulations, those who can survive should be the masters of the masters.

However, after Chu Fan's ideological mobilization, the second army only thought about running quickly, and basically lost its fighting spirit, so as soon as the Chinese army led by Zha Dashou appeared, he didn't have to do anything, and the second army ran away when he saw him, and he had no intention of fighting at all.

As a result, the Chinese army has another addiction to catching rats, catching one to death, catching up with one and poking to death, the second wave of national soldiers crying and running, the Ming army screaming and chasing, the second army only hates that he has no companions to run fast, but he never thought that he should win the most should be Mr. Zha Dashou.

The battle for Pyongyang has finally come to an end.

The Ming army, commanded by the immortal god general Chu Fan, created a miracle in the history of warfare, and defeated the second army in Pyongyang with minimal losses.

According to the calculations of the secretaries, the Ming army lost more than 700 people and wounded 1,500 in this battle.

More than 31,600 people died in the second army.

In fact, although this number is not much, it is very accurate, because this is not the real number of deaths of the second army, but the number of heads.

Because Chu Fan set the rules before the war and was not allowed to cut off people's heads, everyone was busy with performance appraisal and completing tasks, so they didn't have time to cut off people's heads. In addition, later shelling, burning, and drowning, people were either black charcoal or cannon fodder, or popsicles, and there was no way to cut the heads, and in the end, there were only so many heads that could be found.
