Qiming 1158

Chapter 1439 The hard days of the Korean people are coming to an end
When Su Yonglin received this letter, more than 90.00% of Su Jue's military preparations in Liaodong had been completed, and he was basically ready to start a war.

So when Su Yonglin saw what was written in this letter [Korry is definitely not afraid of Ming's war blackmail] or something, he felt that Yelang's arrogance would really happen forever.

If a small country is not fooled by the waves, I am afraid that people really don’t know their actual situation, and they really don’t understand why they are small countries and why big countries are big countries.

Is the difference between a big country and a small country so trivial to these people?

Don't they really know that big countries can run over them with just the touch of a finger?
So Su Yonglin sneered and tore up the letter in front of the Goryeo messenger.

"Goryeo is not afraid of the Ming Dynasty? Go back and tell the group of military generals that those who are small but not humble, who are less powerful but not afraid of the strong, who are rude and insulting their big neighbors, and those who are greedy and bad friends will perish."

The Goryeo messenger shivered and his face was pale.

"Your Majesty... have you decided to use troops against Goryeo?"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Cut the Wudao, kill the rebels, the teacher of the Ming Dynasty is the teacher of the king! The teacher of justice!"

The Goryeo messenger spit, holding back the fear in his heart.

"A traitor makes a mistake and deserves to be killed, but what's wrong with the people? Your Majesty raises an army in anger. Wherever the army goes, it will surely wipe out all living beings. How can you be regarded as the teacher of the king? The teacher of justice?"

"The military discipline of the Daming army is unparalleled in the world. This is what I am most proud of. What I can guarantee is that wherever the Daming army goes, it will only kill traitors and not hurt the people in the slightest."

Su Yonglin sighed slowly and said, "And from now on, the hard days of the people of Goryeo will come to an end, and the Ming Dynasty will let them live like humans, so don't be bothered by this kind of thing, you bastards. It seems that the people of Goryeo are happy and healthy under your rule, which is extremely shameless."

Are the hard days over?

The Goryeo envoy was very puzzled by this.

Is Daming planning to kill the 200 million people of Goryeo?

He was frightened, but he didn't dare to ask any more, he was very worried that he would be killed if he continued to ask.

Su Yonglin has never been a bloodthirsty person, so the Korean messenger left Zhongdu safely and was able to return to Kaesong to report the news.

But his actions were meaningless.

On February 13th of the tenth year of Hongwu, he had just arrived in Kaesong to report the news to Li Yifang. The vanguard of the No. [-] Army of the Fifth Corps of the Ming Army had already broken into the northern border of Goryeo. Very sharp.

When Li Yifang knew the news of the fall of Anju, Pyongyang, Xijing, Korea was already struggling under the siege of the Ming army, and was crumbling in the face of the fierce artillery of the Ming army.

He panicked and organized the resistance to send military generals to discuss countermeasures, and decided to send generals Li Yijin and Pu Cunwei to lead an army of [-] troops to the north to resist urgently, and then he integrated more soldiers to support the north, striving to withstand the attack of the Ming army in the northern boundary area. .

At the same time, he ordered the frontier general Zhao Weicong to lead the frontier troops under his command to attack the Ming army from the east, threatening its rear supply line.

He felt that such an arrangement should be considered a more appropriate arrangement.

As long as they can withstand the impact of the Ming army in the northern boundary, then Zhao Weichong will lead the army to attack the rear nest of the Ming army in the eastern boundary, and cut off the logistics supply line of the Ming army in one fell swoop, then even if the Ming army is capable, it will inevitably capsize in the perineum.

He was confidently planning a defensive counterattack that belonged to Goryeo, but he didn't know that the main force of the No. 14 Army of the Ming Army launched an attack from Zhao Weichong's defense area-he didn't get any news.

Of course, it really can't be blamed on him.

The Ming army attacked in two directions, all the way to the northern border and all the way to the eastern border. The tactical goal of the first stage was to eat all the border guards in the north of Goryeo.

However, unlike the actions of the northern guards who resisted slightly, Zhao Weichong did not resist at all.

When he learned that the Ming army was attacking, he was shocked and scared to death, so he led people to run away, all the way to the south, and ran away without a trace.

He has always had a bad relationship with Li Yifang, and he didn't plan to do anything that a "loyal minister" would do for his regime. It was good to just run away, at least he didn't surrender.

As soon as he ran, the generals and big-headed soldiers under his command also ran fast one after another, the defense area was directly thrown away, and the military supplies were thrown directly to the Ming army.

As a result, the eastern border area on the northern border of Goryeo was easily occupied by the Ming army. Almost no strong resistance was encountered, and no one provided information to the Kaesong court. Li Yifang also did not know that the eastern border had been controlled by the Ming army. .

The so-called "Great Wall of a Thousand Miles" built by Goryeo to prevent the invasion of the enemy from the north did not bring any obstacles to the Ming army. The Ming army easily crossed the Great Wall and entered the border of Goryeo.

After Su Jue personally led the main force of the Thirteenth Army to break through Anju, he bombarded Pyongyang, Xijing, Korea with artillery. Three days later, he broke Pyongyang, killed the generals who resisted, entered the city and occupied Pyongyang, and then continued south, acting like the wind.

On February 23, the tenth year of Hongwu, ten days after the Ming army launched its military campaign, the 3 main force of the Thirteenth Army led by Su Jue encountered 3 Korean reinforcements led by Li Yilong and Park Cunwei [-] miles south of Pyongyang. And start a field battle.

This was the first time the Ming army made the Goryeo field troops feel what [crushing] was.

The Ming army used chariots and cavalry cannons to destroy the Goryeo army at a distance, and used muskets to hit the Goryeo army at close range.

In the end, the [-] cavalry went around and retreated, but none of the [-] Koryo field troops ran away and were completely wiped out by the Ming army.

This is not to blame for them. It is indeed difficult for a normal big-headed soldier who has never seen a ferocious firearm to face a musket.

The former can blow their heads, the latter can smash them into meat sauce, almost impossible to defend.

In the face of the Ming army using such sharp weapons, it is not unforgivable that the Goryeo Field Army fell into a disastrous situation.

In this battle, both Li Yijin and Pu Cunwei, the generals Li Yifang relied on, were killed.

The former was struck to death by the cannon of the chariot generals, while the latter was surrounded by Ming cavalry soldiers.

Su Jue fought a large-scale battle after a long absence, and he was still unfinished, so he continued to move south, and his troops pointed directly at Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo.

When Li Yijin and Pu Cunwei were wiped out, Li Yifang had just prepared [-] troops, and he planned to prepare another [-] troops. He felt that the chance of winning would be higher.

As a result, on February [-]th, he learned the news that the [-]-strong army had been wiped out and the Ming army was heading south to attack Kaesong.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Kaicheng panicked, was shocked, and was scared to the core.

For a while, no one thought about going north, either fleeing south quickly, or staying in Kaesong to prepare for surrender.

Zheng Zhongfu and others have been running for three or five days, but they did not expect the speed of the Ming army to be so fast, so after learning that the Ming army started to fight, they hurried to pack their things, and then ran away, leaving only the resistance generals and soldiers in the city. Civil servants who were lucky to survive under the butcher's knife.

In this situation now, the resistance generals are all green with regret, and there are not a few people who abandoned the city and fled, while the civilians are secretly happy, feeling that when the soldiers arrive, they will be free and restore their former power and status. .

Everything will eventually return to its original point.

And Li Yifang, who was at the center of the storm, regretted it at this time. Realizing that it was impossible to face the victory of the Ming army, Li Yifang made an emergency deployment, pretending to defend Kaesong, but in fact he was ready to escape.

On the night of February [-], Li Yifang was about to run away, but when it came to a critical moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness.
