Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 388 Now is the Time

Chang Sheng stepped into the tent of the Chinese army in a hurry, but before he arrived, his voice was already out.

"Brother, the grand master's order has arrived."

Chang Mao was leisurely closing his eyes and resting his mind at this time. Hearing this, he stood up: "How do you say?"

"The grand master judged that Pyongyang is now an empty city."

Hearing this, Chang Mao snatched the decree from Chang Sheng's hand, and heard the latter's voice: "It's not just the grand master's decree that came, Yu Yifeng also dispatched [-] troops from Liaodong. It's here too."

Another [-] new troops were added.

Chang Mao looked at the letter and nodded: "The grand master ordered us to attack by force, to try Li Fangyuan's authenticity."

"Brother, do you think Pyongyang can be an empty city?" Chang Sheng was still a little uneasy: "We have been attacking for more than ten days without making any progress. Li Fangyuan has at least stationed 10,000+ troops on these three lines of defense outside the city. If we really want to attack by force, if Li Fangyuan still has soldiers in Pyongyang, the casualties will be too great."

Without responding to Chang Sheng, Chang Mao had already stepped out of the handsome tent, drove his horse to the front line, and used binoculars to observe Pyongyang City at the end of his sight and the solid defense line outside the city that had blocked him for more than ten days.

Will Li Fangyuan leave the city alone and send all his troops outside the city to fight against Daming?

It shouldn't be that stupid, so Chang Mao has always believed that Li Fangyuan will leave more than half of his troops in Pyongyang.

That is to say, his experience and Chen Yunfu's judgment are completely opposite.

As a battle-tested commander-in-chief, Chang Mao believed in his own experience rather than the judgment of gambling luck, but now that Chen Yunfu's order has arrived, obey or refuse?

"Whether it's true or not, you have to hit it."

Chang Mao put down the binoculars, pointed his finger to the front and said, "Order the catapult to throw kerosene and burn it. You must also make a way for me to burn it. Order Wang Bi's cavalry to prepare."

"Use cavalry to fight tough battles?"

"No, it's the city of Pyongyang."

Chang Mao said in a deep voice: "Just rush to the city of Pyongyang. This commander wants to see if Pyongyang is an empty city."

If Pyongyang is really an empty city, then Daming will take advantage of the situation to attack the city. If Pyongyang is not an empty city, then Chang Mao will write a letter to see if he can dissuade Chen Yunfu.

Now that the Shangling has arrived, Chang Mao has to fight if he doesn't fight.

The drums sounded, and the Ming army quickly deployed under Chang Mao's military order, and the catapults began to show their power again.

"The Ming army has started again."

"It's not annoying every day."

Looking at the sea of ​​flames outside the city, the lieutenant general of the North Korean Army yawned and sneered, "It's been like this every day for ten days, either smashing stones or setting fire to them. Back to their camp."

"Ha ha ha ha."

A group of people joked presumptuously, and waited until the flames were extinguished. In their ears, the familiar drumbeat of the Ming army lived up to everyone's expectations. This was the signal to charge.

Li Fangyuan turned around to leave, but the lieutenant beside him exclaimed.

"Majesty."

"what happened?"

Li Fangyuan turned his head curiously, and then was also dumbfounded.

I saw smoke and dust billowing at the end of the line of sight, followed by the thunderous sound of horseshoes.

"The Ming army is so ignorant that they use cavalry to attack fortifications?"

There are fortresses everywhere on the three defense lines outside the city. Hit the fortress with cavalry?

Li Fangyuan pursed his lips, but narrowed his eyes.

Nearly.

There were about 1 cavalrymen of the Ming army who came. They did not go to raid the formation, nor did they shoot arrows at the defense formation of the Korean army.

"This cavalry is coming for us!"

As the cavalry array got closer, Li Fangyuan's eyes widened suddenly: "The target of this cavalry is our city of Pyongyang?"

"What do cavalry use to attack a city, they can't ride horses."

A group of generals mocked: "Let's just close the city gates, what can they do with us?"

"If you don't drive them away, they can climb up the tower with a human ladder."

"Is the city of Pyongyang very tall? It's only five feet high. A ladder built by a hundred households can be as high as the city wall. How many ladders can be built by 1 people?"

Li Fangyuan's head got dizzy from the quarrel, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up, and stop this cavalry outside for me."

The semaphore of the Korean army was raised at the top of the city, and the third line of defense outside the city was also the one closest to the city wall to respond first. Teams of soldiers walked out of their respective fortresses and formed formations.

However, the infantry was not as fast as the cavalry. When the North Korean army took a look and settled down, the cavalry of the Ming army had already rushed to the front, and the two sides collided firmly.

The defense line of the North Korean army cannot be said to be broken at the first touch, but it was also smashed to pieces in an instant.

"Leave them alone!"

The commander of the Ming army who was in charge of the charge shouted, "Let's go to Pyongyang."

Once the infantry's defensive formation was breached, the cavalry would be massacred, but the general of the Ming army obviously did not intend to expand the results of the battle, but led the troops to continue advancing towards Pyongyang.

"Or let the guards go out of the city to stop them."

A lieutenant general made a suggestion, which was almost kicked over by Li Fangyuan.

"The city gate is open, what if the Ming army takes advantage of the situation and invades the city!"

The city of Pyongyang was still silent. Even though the Ming army had already attacked the city, there was no reaction at all. Such a scene completely fell into Chang Mao's eyes.

"Pyongyang, is it really an empty city?"

After waiting for a while, Chang Mao realized that Li Fangyuan was just constantly directing the North Korean army outside the city to return to defense, and he felt confident in his heart.

"Pyongyang is an empty city! Quickly, order the whole army to attack."

The drums of the all-out attack were sounded, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who had heard the order, took the steps of a charge, and launched a huge offensive that was far more powerful than before towards the front line of the Korean army outside the city.

Because this time, the Ming army had an additional [-] new troops.

Now it's Li Fangyuan's turn to be tricky.

Outside the city wall are 1 Ming cavalry who are organizing an attack on the city. He has to mobilize the defense troops outside the city to go back and destroy the [-] Ming cavalry. He can draw out the infantry in the defense line and hope that they can be wiped out in the field. A cavalry of [-]?

Leaving aside the difficulty issue, just one point, how many pawns does Li Fangyuan need to mobilize.

There must be many.

And now the Ming army has launched an all-out attack. The defense line of more than 30 miles around is full of battlefields that the Ming army may break through.

On the battlefield, the most taboo is indecision. Li Fangyuan has always understood this truth, so he has always shown himself to be a courageous person, but the Maharaja Jing'an is still hesitating at this moment.

He is hesitating, but Chang Mao will never hesitate.

When the first breakthrough was opened, Chang Mao looked at Wang Bi and Chang Sheng.

"Go!"

At this moment, Chang Mao still held tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands.

Now is the time!
