On July 7, the First Division of the Japanese Cavalry crossed the Yalu River, and China officially sent troops to North Korea!
The two sides fought quickly, and both were shocked by the other side. According to the memoirs of Zu Chengxun, the leader of the first regiment, "Japanese people mostly wear animal skins and chicken tails as clothing, and use gold and silver as puppets to look like humans and horses, which is extremely shocking."
It¡¯s normal to be frightened when you see enemies dressed as monsters for the first time. Many cavalry couldn¡¯t help but want to turn around and run away. Fortunately, the military cadres tried their best to stop them and told them that there are no ghosts in this world. If you don't believe it, come with me!
Fortunately, the Japanese invaders on the opposite side were also shocked. They did not expect that the Chinese were so big and the horses they rode were so tall. Compared with them, I feel like a primary school student riding a donkey, and I am in the lower grade Can I not be afraid?
Seeing the Chinese troops rushing towards them, they ran away in fright. But because they and the horses had short legs, they were still overtaken and dozens of them were shot to death.
When cleaning the battlefield, the cavalry found that, as the military cadre said, those were not monsters at all, but just dwarfs wearing masks, strange-shaped helmets, and fancy armor
He couldn¡¯t help but feel ashamed and angry, so he rushed to the front and looked for bad luck from the Japanese pirates everywhere, so as to save face.
News that the Japanese pirates who were plundering everywhere were attacked by the Ming army soon spread back to Pyongyang City. Governor Konishi and Kato Kiyomasa discussed and decided to shrink their troops and defend the strong Pyongyang City At least in their eyes, it was very strong. .
So the vanguard troops that landed at the mouth of the Yalu River - the 1st Division, 2nd Division and the Independent Regiment, advanced to the vicinity of Pyongyang almost without any hindrance.
Then the first division and the independent regiment monitored the Japanese pirates in the city, and the second division went around to the pine forest south of Pyongyang, felling wood and setting up a simple wharf.
On July 13, the Third Division landed in Anju and moved eastward to monitor three Japanese regiments in Hamgyong Province.
On July 17, the China Shipping fleet sailed upstream from the Datong River Estuary and anchored on the right side of the Songlin River to unload the 4th Division, 5th Division and Artillery Division.
On July 20, the main force of the Japanese conquering army, except for the third division, gathered at the gate of Pyongyang!
Of course, the Japanese pirates did not just watch. On the night of the 14th, Governor Konishi sent 3,000 elite soldiers out of the west gate to attack the Chinese army¡¯s camp at night!
This is a trick that the wise generals of the Warring States Period have tried many times. Coupled with their ghostly appearance, it can often cause the camp to explode. President Konishi believes that taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese have not yet established a stable footing, it should have miraculous effects.
As a result, these more than 3,000 people were discovered by the patrolling independent regiment soldiers before they even entered the camp. At this time, the ghostly appearance of the Japanese invaders was no longer frightening, and the Qi army's attack on the Japanese invaders was due to the incompatibility of the arms. They beat them violently, and the Japanese invaders left more than 200 corpses and fled back to the city.
After that, Mr. Konishi became more honest
¡°But he¡¯s not really honest either. As a victor in the Warring States Period, Konishi-san has experienced hundreds of battles, is well versed in the art of war, and is as cunning as a fox. He is by no means an easy person. Otherwise the monkey would not let him be the vanguard.
He has been carefully observing the movements of the Chinese army. Years of war experience tell him that the decisive battle is coming and there is not much time left for him.
Then he summoned the generals again to make final adjustments to the enemy's latest deployment.
"It can be concluded that the Ming army will launch an attack on the city tomorrow!" Governor Konishi, who was taking the lead, waved the small folding fan in his hand and tried his best to imitate his idol Zhuge Liang and said:
"Judging from the movement and stationing of the Ming army, the east side is empty, and the south side must be a feint attack, so the main attack direction must be the two northwest cities! Therefore, the main force of the First Army is stationed at Qixingmen, Xiaoximen, and Daximen in the west!"
He also assigned the Second Army the task of garrisoning in the north. In addition, the southern city gate was handed over to the 5,000 traitor army Li Huan and his ministers behaved so shamelessly that many Koreans took the initiative to sign up as puppet soldiers.
In total, there are almost more than 40,000 troops. Governor Konishi has completed his defense deployment and still has a strong reserve team in hand, which can be said to be quite comfortable.
And the First and Second Armies, as direct descendants of the Toyotomi family, are equipped with a large number of 'iron cannons', and the soldiers are brave and good at fighting. They are all good Baga who regard death as their own!
So President Konishi made another impassioned speech:
"Therefore, the method of using troops is to besiege the city ten times. However, the Ming army's troops are not as large as ours, so they can only attack the city but not besiege it. This allows us to deploy our troops calmly; and they come from a long way; they are also the siege party. "Fighting for other countries, we have been away from battle for a long time"
He threw out the phrase "The enemy is bound to be defeated in ten cases" that he had just compiled, and he came up with "Our army is bound to win in ten cases."
¡°We are ready to work, have strong morale, have experienced hundreds of battles, have the advantage of firearms, have high walls and fortified cities, and have sufficient food and grass, so we only need to stand firm and wait for reinforcements"p; But it is perfect for siege.
With just one cannon blast, a big hole opened in the wall of Pyongyang!
After three shots, a section of the city wall collapsed. They crushed a large area of ??Japanese troops hiding under the city wall to death.
Not to mention Xiao Nisang, even Li Ning and others from the cavalry division were frightened by the sight. With such a huge gap, where is the war? It was simply a massacre
¡®I will swear loyalty to the death and never betray¡¯ the Liaodong generals chanted silently in unison.
They never expected that by watching others fight a cannon fire, they would be transformed into loyal people's soldiers.
The gunners also realized that from now on, they would become the protagonists of the war. Each of them became more and more excited, and used their best skills to fire their cannons. With one blast, the city walls on the northwest sides collapsed for more than a mile each!
The sound of artillery finally stopped, and the tick-tock-tock of the charge horn sounded!
The independent regiment that snatched the vanguard mission rushed forward with a roar and a tsunami!
The Japanese samurai wielding Japanese swords tried their best to block the gap, but were killed by snipers from far away.
How can the Japanese army at this gap stop the Qi army from descending like tigers?
After a few rounds, the armor was abandoned and the whole line collapsed (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
