"Old boy, get out of here!" Wu Lu scolded and poked at the firewood stack with a saber, while another soldier on the side was leisurely leaning against the adobe wall, holding a weed in his mouth, watching Wu Lu rummage around in this deserted village to find someone like a play.

"I said a long time ago that you shouldn't be too good to that North Korean, and you are riding mules and distributing military rations to him, but now it's okay, he patted his ass and ran away, now it's up to you to explain to General Ye!" That military man is Yang Peng, who is a personal soldier with Wu Lu. It turned out that Li Youji and the Ming army finally rushed to the southwest of Pyongyang City on the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, and after seeing Pyongyang City from a distance, Li Youji sneaked away with the kung fu of urinating, for fear that the Ming army would take him with this cumbersome trouble, so he simply wiped his neck. Just like last night with those two hunters.

Li Youji ran away, Wu Lu's nose was crooked, and he immediately called Yang Peng to find Li Youji's footprints and catch up.

Because it had just snowed heavily, the footprints were clearly recognizable, and it was not until before dark that Li Youji was seen hiding in a deserted village from a distance, so he chased him to the village and searched it door to door.

I hate whether this Li You and he is a mouse, and he has rummaged back and forth in this deserted village several times, but he can't find this old boy. Wu Lu heard Yang Peng's ridicule, and his heart was even more angry, and he took out the fire fold and wanted to light the firewood stack and force the old boy to come out.

Yang Peng stepped forward and snatched the fire fold, and scolded in a low voice: "You kid is crazy? When the fire starts, won't you expose your traces? When the surprise attack fails, you will bear the blame for this crime?"

Wu Lu also understood that he was really confused, he hatefully slashed the firewood stack again and scolded angrily: "Old boy, your mother, your wife, and your children are all in our army camp, if you can't hide anymore, be careful to let your whole family be destroyed!"

At this time, in a firewood house ten zhang away from Wu Lu, there was a mess of firewood on the ground that moved slightly, but Wu Lu and the others didn't notice it.

The two hurriedly searched again, but still didn't see Li Youji's figure, it was already late, and they had to go back as soon as possible to recover their lives, Wu Lu could only leave the village with hatred and go back to the place where he was stationed.

After a long time, the mess of wood moved again. Li Youji held a bucket lid and carefully climbed out of a cellar.

It turned out that there was a small cellar under the firewood, and after Li Youji got in, he first piled some firewood on the lid of the bucket, and then held the lid of the bucket and hid inside. Because of the scattered firewood on the ground, Wu Lu and the others only looked for places where they could hide people, but they didn't expect Li You and this guy to hide underground.

After escaping, Li Youji was heartbroken when he thought of the family that fell into the hands of the Ming army, but he thought that as long as he didn't die, he would always be able to marry a wife and have children, so he pretended to be calm.

He quietly got out of the firewood house, held his breath and listened quietly for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Wu Lu and the others had left, and was thinking about where to run, when he looked up, he saw a woman standing on the broken eaves, staring at him with a smile.

Li Youhe's hair stood up all over his body, thinking that he had encountered some ghost, but when he looked closely, wasn't this the shaman immortal who accepted his daughter as a maidservant?

Li Youji fell to the ground in joy and fear, begging the shaman to save his family for his daughter's sake.

"Just now, when Wu Lu's kid said that he wanted you to destroy the door, you still couldn't hide, I think you should be a merciless person, why are you begging for your family's life now?" Pei Lingyun sneered at Li Youji in Korean with a smile.

"Shaman Great Immortal Master Mingjian, it's really a villain who has offended those Ming soldiers, so he is afraid of being killed by them, so he can only hide!" Li Youji cried and shouted, which made Pei Lingyun quite disgusted. She frowned and waved her hand, and the whole person fell to the ground like a fallen leaf, and there was not a single footprint left on the snow where she walked, which made Li Youji deeply afraid of his great powers.

"I asked you before, if you would like to let your daughter be my maidservant, I only mentioned my identity slightly, why do you immediately know that I am a shaman immortal master, and I am still respectful?" Pei Lingyun asked about her doubts, Wu Lu was present that day, and she didn't delve into it, and she didn't ask again until now.

Li Youji fell to the ground again and said respectfully: "My father is a disciple of Hu Daxian, and I have heard Hu Daxian mention the shaman immortal master. ”

"Hu Daxian?" Pei Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and said after a while: "But."

Hu Xiaoling in the fox fairy cave in the pine tree ditch of Changbai Mountain?"

Li Youji said respectfully: "It's Hu Xiaoling and Hu Daxian!"

It turned out that as early as more than 30 years ago, Pei Lingyun looked for a place with abundant spiritual energy along the line of the Great Wall, and finally found a place with abundant spiritual energy at Changbai Mountain all the way to the east, and devoted himself to cultivation for several years. And during this time, she inadvertently discovered a woman Hu Xiaoling, who was a great god in the village, actually had a layer of cultivation during the Qi training period, and after being caught, she carefully interrogated and realized that she had practiced the Qi practice formula on an unknown ancient book, Pei Lingyun studied the ancient book and realized that it was the most common Five Elements Qi training method in the cultivation world。 And because Hu Xiaoling has a three-attribute spiritual root, and the aura in the Changbai Mountain area is more abundant than other places, she actually cultivated her qi sense when she was in her twenties by mistake, and her ears and eyes are far beyond mortals, and she has studied some tricks to deceive mortals, thinking that she has a fairy fate, so she abandoned her family and children and danced the great gods in various villages and villages.

Hu Xiaoling saw Pei Lingyun, a fairy-like character, and saw Pei Lingyun's ability to soar through the clouds and fog, and thought that she had met a fairy who had descended to earth, and refused to leave the cave opened up by Pei Lingyun, and only asked Pei Lingyun to teach her the art of daytime ascension.

Pei Lingyun was annoyed by her, so she casually threw her the whole book of the Five Elements Qi Practice, and after she got the exercises, she occupied the Songshugou Fox Immortal Cave and began to cultivate in a decent way. I don't know if her cultivation has improved in the past 30 years.

Li Youji saw that Pei Lingyun was silent, so he added: " Thirty years ago, when my father traveled in Changbai Mountain, I saw Hu Daxian's great magical powers, Hu Daxian also investigated his father's body, saying that his father also had a fairy fate, but the bone age was too big, and the road to cultivating immortals had been cut off, but he still accepted his father as a disciple of the horse, and allowed his father to set up a fairy family hall, and when the villain was young, he was taken by his father with his brother and sister to inspect the fairy fate, but unfortunately the villain was blessed, and none of the four brothers and sisters had a fairy fate, but Hu Daxian promised that if the villain had children, he could still take them to investigate the fairy fate, but the villain had not brought his children to go because of trivial matters...”

"Wait!" Pei Lingyun's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said, "You mean Hu Xiaoling is inspecting the immortal fate for mortals?"

As a Pei Lingyun cultivator, he naturally understood that Hu Xiaoling was investigating the immortal fate, and he was basically looking for the owner of the spiritual root. And this Li Youji's father is obviously the owner of the spiritual root, but because he is old, cultivation no longer has much effect, so he proposed to let his descendants continue to investigate the spiritual root, after all, the descendants of the owner of the spiritual root have a high probability of also having the spiritual root, and this is what Pei Lingyun mentioned to Hu Xiaoling.

Since Hu Xiaoling was already looking for the owner of the spiritual root thirty years ago, then he must have found a lot of spiritual root owners in the past thirty years, and if he found Hu Xiaoling directly, he would be able to find the owner of the spiritual root in person with a lot of effort.

Pei Lingyun immediately had a plan in her heart, she threw Li You and a token, and said: "This is the token of Li Rusong, the commander of the Ming army, you take the token to find Li Rusong, and say that I need him to send twenty Jurchen soldiers to escort your family to Changbai Mountain to find Hu Xiaoling." Imagine that with twenty Jurchen soldiers to escort you, you will be fine along the way. ”

Li Youji took the token and was shocked, he really didn't understand why he wanted their family to go to Changbai Mountain all of a sudden?

Pei Lingyun sneered and said: "You gave birth to a good daughter, Li Shanxuan has a fairy fate, you take her to find Hu Xiaoling, Hu Xiaoling will definitely be pleasantly surprised, and your family will be properly settled." And if your daughter is blessed, it is not impossible to ascend to immortality. ”

Li Youhe was overjoyed when he heard this, originally this shaman immortal wanted to accept his daughter as a maidservant, so he suspected that his daughter had a fairy fate, but now it seems to be true.

He responded with joy, and kowtowed a few more times. When he got up again, he couldn't see Pei Lingyun's figure, and when he stood up and looked around, he saw a flash of light in the air.

Sure enough, it's a shaman!

Li Youji carefully calculated the current situation, North Korea has been rotten, and a literati with a noble status like him have fallen into the Ming army camp to hammer rice and shell out and even lead the way for the Ming army, it is better to hide in Changbai Mountain to seek Hu Daxian's protection.

Li Youji grabbed the token, and immediately looked for a path back to the Ming army camp, preparing to take a family to take refuge in Changbai Mountain, and also seek a fairy fate for his daughter.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Ming army officially attacked the city.

The tentative battle with the Japanese army the day before yesterday, coupled with the repulsion of the sneak attack of the Japanese army on the night of the sixth and seventh days of the lunar month, the Ming army finally grasped the rhythm of the war.

On the day and night of the truce, the Ming army was not idle, cutting down trees in all directions, making trenches, bridges, chariots and ladders, and siege equipment had been piled up.

Early in the morning, the sentinels of the Liaodong soldiers of the Ming army under the city of Pyongyang roared back and forth, firmly occupying the battlefield, and the people in the camps and villages besieging the city shouted and neighed horses, and the sound of drums and trumpets was endless, and after the troops had eaten early in the morning, the infantry of each battalion pushed out the siege equipment out of the camp and placed it in the offensive area outside the hundred zhang.

Li Rubai, the commander of the Chinese army, led an army of 10,000 men and was ordered to attack the Daexi Gate of Pyongyang's western city. On both sides were Yang Yuan, the commander of the left army, and Zhang Shijue, the commander of the right army, each leading an army of 10,000 people, who were ordered to attack the Xiaoximen of Xicheng and the Qixingmen of the northwest respectively. The infantry had been pushed out of all sorts of siege equipment, the most numerous of which were the carts and the pointed wooden donkeys, which were to be used to fill the trenches and dig the walls, respectively, followed by the carts, and then the ladder carts.

More than a dozen Liaodong iron horsemen roared in front of the three armies with large horses, shouting at the top of their voices: "The commander has an order, and those who go to the city first will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver!"

The charm of the silver is amazing, the iron cavalry roared past with the generals, and the sound of the 30,000 soldiers taking a deep breath also made the Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang a little frightened.

Without the assistance of a stranger like Master Jiawei, this can be said to be the first time that the Japanese army and the Ming army are fighting in the eighth war, and it really says that Konishi Yukicho is also at a loss.

Governor Konishi cursed Grand Master Jiawei on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also cursed the big fool Shen Weijing, and even cursed Li Rusong who was biting him on the other side.

Governor Konishi has always had correspondence with Shen Weijing, in the final analysis, Governor Konishi wanted to avoid fighting with the Ming army, and even did not hesitate to reveal the existence of Archmage Jiawei to Shen Weijing, intending to tempt Li Rusong to take the initiative to avoid the war with the secret of immortality, after all, don't the people of the Central Plains always love to pursue immortality? But Li Rusong didn't eat this set, since it was not feasible to avoid war, Konishi planned to repeat the old trick, paralyze the Ming army, show weakness first, attract the Ming army to attack the city in a hurry, and let the great master Jiawei preside over the formation, harvest the lives of the Ming army as much as possible, beat the Ming army painfully, and then negotiate well. But the great mage of Jiawei, who killed a thousand knives, didn't take it seriously at all, the big battle was about to disappear, and the fighter plane was wasted in vain, and he didn't say goodbye in the early hours of yesterday morning, and I still don't know where it went.

However, fortunately, there are plenty of troops in Pyongyang, with a total strength of more than 18,000 Japanese troops, plus more than 5,000 Korean soldiers who surrendered and depended, a total of 23,000 troops, and it is more than enough to hold Pyongyang City.

Combined with the military situation, Governor Konishi will have a main force of 12,000 people, stationed at the Seven Star Gate, the Small West Gate, and the Great West Gate, and is equipped with a large number of muskets to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The remaining main force is to defend the northern city, as for the southern city, the outside of the vast territory, do not use troops, even if there is an attack, it must only be a feint attack by the Ming army, so send 5,000 Korean servant soldiers to garrison the southern city with blanket gate.

At midnight, the Chinese army's horn finally sounded, and the Ming army's offensive officially began.

As Konishi Governor expected, Xicheng was indeed the main direction of attack of the Ming army.

The 30,000 Ming troops were densely arranged in a neat attacking column, and the infantry launched 100 cannons, lined up in two columns, mainly attacking the Great West Gate.

With a deafening loud sound, thousands of cannons rang out in unison, and countless stones and lead fell from the sky and smashed on the head of the West City. It was actually a flowering bullet that the Japanese army had never encountered.

This round of artillery bombardment smashed the city tower on the Great West Gate in an instant, and the bricks and stone tiles smashed down, smashing the Japanese army in all directions.

Konishi drew his sword and cut down the two samurai who were about to escape from the city wall, and drove the Japanese army back to the platforms like ducks, and fought the enemy with birds.

"After the first shot, the Ming army is about to attack the city, the birds are ringing in unison, prepare the boulders and rolling logs, and be sure not to let the Ming army's cloud ladder approach the city wall..."

Before the words fell, another round of artillery rang out.

Governor Konishi was unprepared for a moment, his armor was scratched by the flying stones, and his left arm and chest were bleeding profusely for a while, and he screamed and was carried down the city by his generals to bandage. And then the third, fourth, fifth... The shelling turned out to be endless.

The Ming army dispatched the Franc machine gun array this time, and it was also a sub-mother gun, each mother gun was equipped with ten sub-guns, and after a cannon was fired, it was replaced by a sub-gun, so there was an endless rain of artillery.

After a few rounds, there was basically no human figure on the wall of the three gates of the West City. Li Rubaizhi arrogantly commanded the infantry to push the ladder to the city wall and began to climb the city wall.

After the shelling stopped, the smoke of gunfire still filled the battlefield.

The Ming soldiers eagerly marched towards the city wall, as long as they climbed the city wall and occupied the western city, the city of Pyongyang was basically broken.

However, just when the Ming army was attached to the ladder like ants and was ready to go to the city, the figures on the city wall were one after another, and a sound of birds sounded, and hundreds of Ming soldiers screamed and fell down the ladder, and the ladders began to be overturned, the boiling water poured down, and the Ming soldiers who were crowded on the side of the city wall were scalded and peeled off, and the ghosts cried and howled continuously.

Huge stones were pushed off the wall, and the severed limbs of the smashed Ming soldiers flew everywhere, and the rolling wood was stained with flesh and blood and crushed all the way.

Konishi Yukicho, who had just bandaged his wounds, endured the pain and continued to return to the city to supervise the battle, which was the wave of sudden counterattack just now.

The sudden counterattack of the Japanese army greatly frustrated the Ming army besieging the city, and the attack situation eased for a while, and the soldiers who were preparing to advance in the rear actually began to retreat, and there was a situation of collapse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Shijue, the commander of the right army, was so anxious that he scolded and ordered all teams to line up and not leave the team on their own.

Seeing that the bullets could not be suppressed, Li Rusong, who was watching the battle in the rear, went into battle with a cold face and armor, and more than 100 horsemen surrounded the city to patrol, and a Ming soldier who fled from the team was cut off on the spot, which stopped the chaos slightly.

The bloody battle continues.

In the Peony Peak Heights of Beicheng, Wu Weizhong's 3,000 Qi family troops also attacked. The terrain of Beicheng is dangerous, it is not suitable for attacking, Wu Weizhong, as the general of the Southern Army, threw such a difficult bone to him, I have to say that Li Rusong has some regional prejudices in the end, and he will not let the Southern Army comfortably obtain military achievements.

The two rounds of attacks were unsuccessful, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Wu Weizhong was also anxious, and when it came to the third round of attacks, he was determined to personally lead the team to rush to the front, and the north city would not be broken, and he would not survive.

Compared with the dark fighting between the West City and the North City, the South City is not moving at this time. Obviously, as Konishi Yukinaga expected, Nancheng was not suitable for attacking, so the Ming army did not plan to attack Nancheng at all.

The Korean servants stationed in the southern city patrolled the city defense leisurely, and did not feel the need to sell their lives at all. At this moment, an army of about 2,000 men came out of the southwestern hills and quietly marched towards the southern city.

If you look closely, this army is dressed as a Korean soldier, and it is obvious that it has come to make a feint with the intention of disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army, and even the Japanese army responsible for supervising the battle does not feel that this army is any threat, and even the military situation has not been reported. After all, the Korean soldiers could not fight, which was recognized by both the Ming army and the Japanese army.

But no matter what, the city still has to be defended. The Korean servants on the southern city drew their bows and drew their bows, and the more daring Koreans stood on the city wall and shouted, asking them to surrender to the Japanese army, after all, they could eat well and play with women with the Japanese army.

But this army did not say a word, and the arrows of the arrows, the guns of the guns, pushed the ladders and began to attack the city. After a few rounds, the North Korean servant soldiers were beaten and couldn't raise their heads.

Luo Shangzhi took a few family members to ride fast horses around the northwest hilly area of Nancheng early in the morning and joined the two thousand soldiers and horses who had already been ambushed, Zu Chengxun sat in the army, Luo Shangzhi as the vanguard will take these two thousand soldiers and horses to attack Nancheng, and Luo Shangzhi has also followed one thousand soldiers and horses. Subsequently, Wu Chengxun's other 7,000 soldiers and horses and the deputy commander-in-chief, Tong Yangzheng, and 9,000 people were also rushing towards the Nancheng Hanblanket Gate.

Konishi was wrong, and Nancheng was the main direction of attack of the Ming army.

Luo Shangzhi took the lead with the family soldiers in his mouth with a Pu knife in his mouth, taking advantage of the fact that the Korean servant soldiers couldn't raise their heads when they were beaten, and quickly climbed the ladder.

And Wu Lu is one of them.

In the midst of the sound of killing, Luo Shangzhi took the lead in landing on the head of Pyongyang with dozens of soldiers, and after tearing off the skin of the North Korean soldiers, he revealed the red mandarin duck jackets of the Ming army inside.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Ming army who had just climbed the city wall ran over the two Korean dogs who were crowded on the city wall with Luo Shangzhi's roar.

Wu Lu didn't know that just as he followed Luo Shangzhi to slash and slash at the Korean servants, in a thin cloud above his head, Pei Lingyun was watching the scene of these mortal soldiers fighting with great interest.

"This son is so keen on military exploits, if he wants to step into the cultivation realm, it seems that he must first cut off his way out in the army. Pei Lingyun muttered to herself.

Looking at Luo Shangzhi, who was fighting bravely in front of him to block ten, Pei Lingyun's eyes flashed, and he thought about it. She waved her sleeves, and her figure immediately turned into a streamer of light, and disappeared.
