Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1108 24 miles from Seoul

"This damn North Korean weather, my hometown is not so cold!"

"Bastard bastard, don't make any noise during such an operation!"

Someone was talking in a low voice, which immediately drew severe reprimands. Of course, the reprimands were not loud. Dozens of warriors on horseback were moving about twenty miles north of Seoul.

It was still dark, and there was some light in the sky. I don’t know if it was the dawn. These warriors on horseback were not walking on the main road, but on the mountain roads between the mountains and hills. These roads are often covered by terrain and trees. Among them, it is difficult to be found on the road.

Japan has few horses. Soldiers who can ride on horses are generally samurai. This team seems to be even more different. Every samurai wears leather armor inlaid with iron pieces, and half of them also carry firecrackers. This kind of equipment is also used in Japan. Only the first-class elite can have it, let alone riding a horse.

This force is the reconnaissance team of the Sixth Japanese Army Corps stationed in Jeolla-do, the southernmost side of North Korea.

Naturally, it was impossible to hide the actions of the cavalry brigade of the Ming army for too long. The Japanese pirates had known about it for a long time and were ready, and began to gather troops in Gyeonggi-do.

Although Kobayakawa Longjing, the commander of the Sixth Japanese Army Corps, is defending Jeolla-do, he, as one of the most outstanding generals in the Japanese invaders, has always presided over the overall situation in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do. Make adjustments and prepare.

On the tenth day of February, someone reported that the Ming army appeared somewhere [-] miles away from Seoul. As a result, General Ukita Hideka panicked and dispatched [-] troops to fight against the enemy. It was a false alarm, not even a North Korean mob, just a bunch of North Korean horse thieves.

After that, Takakage Kobayakawa began to send out his most elite Banner reconnaissance team to search the north and west where the two Ming troops might appear.

"Shh~~~"

The person at the front of this small team of scouting warriors issued a signal to silence, and the group of people stopped talking in low voices.

"Ming Kou is in front, and there is a brigade under the col!"

It was another low-pitched message, all the people got off their horses, checked the bridles of the dismounted horses, and walked lightly to a certain place on the hillside. After seeing the direction of the person in front, everyone's body couldn't help trembling , in the sheltered place below, you can vaguely see a few lights flickering, the sky has gradually brightened, and everyone can vaguely see the cavalry of the brigade stationed there.

"Ming Kou is so cunning that he came here so quietly."

"The ugly time is about to pass, it should be the Yin time!"

"Go to Seoul to report back, go!!"

******************
Li Rusong's team of thousands of cavalry also set up sentries on the periphery, but they were not familiar with the terrain. Those North Korean rebels who were patted on the Yellow Sea Road and said that they would fight to the death with the Japanese pirates also disappeared. Where they could patrol That is limited.

They didn't find the Japanese pirate reconnaissance team on the back of a certain hill. When the Japanese pirate reconnaissance team left, the cavalry brigade, which had not been resting for a long time, also started to get up and camp.

"Mr. Qian, Mr. Ba, Zongqi, and Xiaoqi should keep an eye on the people below. If the people are full, the horses must be fed enough!"

Li Rusong said in a deep voice as he walked, while a few soldiers hurriedly dispersed to deliver orders. Li Rusong and Li Rubai walked in the queue together. Last night's rest was very simple. Many people took a nap in a dry place and took a nap. Not ready for camp.

After Li Rusong finished speaking, Li Rubai also said:
"Keep an eye on everything, and take everything you can't eat with dry food. I will fight with anyone who wastes food. This time, we will only carry three days of dry food. If we waste a little, we will be hungry on the return journey."

"The camp is on the Yellow Sea Road, we will only carry three days of food, we must keep an eye on it!"

Li Rusong also added aloud, this time the four thousand riders came out with only three days of food and grass. Many people from the Li family's soldiers have come to North Korea before. This time, someone said that he knew a small road. , You can avoid the defense of Japanese pirates and enter Gyeonggi-do.

There are light cavalry raids on the left and right. Of course, if you can have such a method, you have to try it. In fact, the implementation of this plan is quite smooth. However, it is not so easy for a large-scale team of several thousand cavalry to avoid other people's detection. , There are only a few places to camp.

It is impossible to enter without a sound, Li Rusong, Li Rubai and the generals all know it, but they can gain a little advantage in the war and get close enough to the enemy's position, which can already bring enough Advantage.

***************
After the whole army was prepared, 4000 people led their horses for a walk. The horses moved freely and their bodies became hot, and the cavalry mounted their horses one after another.

In fact, at this position, it has already entered the range of Seoul, and the road is very easy to walk. From another perspective, it has entered the war zone.

After leaving Pyongyang and crossing the Taedong River, Li Rubai, the commander-in-chief of Liaoxi, was very happy, but after entering Gyeonggi-do, Li Rubai didn't have any smile on his face, and he was worried immediately.

"Brother, the civilization here is earlier than ours. There are too many paddy fields for growing rice here. The paddy fields are muddy. Our cavalry spread out. It is too troublesome in the paddy fields!"

Li Rubai was talking here, but Li Rusong kept his face sullen and silent. Li Rubai immediately stood up and looked around, and said in a low voice:
"North Koreans know how to talk big. In Hwanghae-do, Pyongan-do, a group of people said that they were willing to help the rebels. Once they entered Gyeonggi-do, they all ran away. The chaos in Gyeonggi-do is there. See you along the way. Less than one ghost shadow, what the hell are there tens of thousands of volunteers?"

"Now that you're here, let's try it!"

Li Rusong, who always disapproved of coming here, said in a deep voice at this time, the sky is getting brighter and the sun has already risen, Li Rusong looked around immediately, and said slowly:
"This place should be the best place in North Korea. There are paddy fields, a lot of flat land, and the climate is warmer than the north. Such a good place, the Japanese pirates will not let go easily!"

After saying this, both of them fell silent, the brigade continued to move forward slowly, and the sentry and scout cavalry running in front kept returning, reporting what they had seen and heard ahead to the central army.

"General, I have seen the Japanese pirate camp in front of Seoul!"

"General, the outpost can already see the walls of the big city in the distance."

While passing letters, there was a commotion ahead. Several cavalrymen could be seen charging up the grass on one side. After a while, there was a return from the front.

"There are Japanese pirates sentry, and three people have been shot dead, and the rest have fled."

In the farther distance, the sound of drums could be faintly heard. It was not so clear at first, and the sound became louder and louder, as if thunder sounded from the sky.

"All battalions cheer up, we are about to meet the enemy!"

Li Rusong raised his voice to give the order, and the soldiers who were waiting for the order beside him shouted and beat their horses one after another, and ran to the positions of the battalions to deliver the order.

Li Rubai on the side spit on the ground, but checked his own weapons, muttering in a low voice:

"The old man is indeed bewildered!"

*****************
Traveling all the way to Seoul, the undulations on both sides of the road became less and less, and the terrain became more and more flat. The four thousand riders marching in column gradually became a horizontal team.

If you rush to seize the city, the cavalry is naturally the easiest to take advantage of the speed, but listening to the louder and louder drums in the direction of Seoul, no one knows that there will not be any empty cities waiting for you to seize.

It can be seen that a team of almost 4000 Japanese soldiers and horses is approaching. Most of the flags on the backs of these 4000 people are brown. The ashigaru spearmen are the main ones, and the cavalry and iron artillery are at the forefront of the team.

The more than 4000 people are nothing. What really moved the Ming army was that the brigade of troops behind the 4000 Japanese pirates seemed to be endless from the position of the Ming army. Gather up.

The drums were beating non-stop. Among the drums, there were horns or conch sounds being hummed. The array of Japanese soldiers and horses was actually very quiet, but with so many people, each place only issued one A little sound will make the battlefield extremely noisy.

The mounts of the Ming army cavalry became restless, and the cavalry had to rein their horses desperately to keep the formation from being scattered, and their forward speed also slowed down.

"This is. This is"

Li Rubai muttered a few words, then immediately became irritable and cursed:
"Didn't you say empty city! These bastards"

After talking halfway, but stopped shouting again, Li Rubai felt his throat was dry, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, turned his head and said to Li Rusong beside him:

"Big brother, let's go, there's still time, the Japanese pirates have too many soldiers, we can't catch up!"

Li Rusong stared at his younger brother for a few moments, shook his head and smiled, and said leisurely:

"Come in violation of military orders and military laws, and then run away in front of the battle. When we go back, what face will we have to face the world? At that time, our Li family will really be finished."

Li Rusong hung the bow and arrow on the side of the saddle, pulled out half of the waist knife and inserted it into the scabbard, and said loudly:

"Since you're here, let's fight. If you lose your life here, you'll be worthy of yourself, your father, and Daming. Second child, go back to your team and don't embarrass the Li family later."

Li Rubai lowered his head for a while and then raised his head, clasped his fists as a signal, and rode away. Li Rusong looked at his back and smiled, then turned his head and asked Qinwei:
"Where is this place!?"

"Return to the Lord, the Koreans here are called Bichi Pavilion."

"What a weird name!"
