Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1119 Hurry Hurry Hurry

More than a dozen people held a wooden ladder, yelling and rushed forward. On both sides of the ladder, there are Jurchen soldiers with bows and arrows, shooting arrows upwards continuously.

The number of Jurchens is far greater than the number of Japanese pirates in the wooden village in front of them. The ashigaru and samurai inside are suppressed and cannot show their faces. There are also seven or eight such wooden ladders on the left and right. As soon as the ladder was built, the Jurchen warrior who followed behind rushed upwards with iron bones and a big knife.

He began to climb and rush in, the bow and arrow stopped, and the warriors and ashigaru inside started to fight, crying and shouting. Someone bullied the Jurchen warrior, who just landed unstable, shouted and stabbed with a spear, but was shouted by the Jurchen warrior on the opposite side, directly After cutting off the spear and taking a step forward, half of his body fell off.

There was also that Japanese pirate warrior with a hot head, holding a knife in both hands, and wanted to fight alone with the Jurchens who came in. His knife was indeed fast and he had been trained, but he was hit by an ax thrown by his opponent just as he jumped up. He took his head off and paid the bill directly.

The Jurchen warriors soon had blood on their bodies, some of their enemies and their own. After all, the weapons held by the Japanese pirates were not toys, but weapons that could kill and injure others. Don't care, it's still a fierce battle, often the enemy on the opposite side is terrified first.

The Jurchens are brave and brave, but they are not reckless. When the infantry entered a certain distance, someone turned around and opened the gate of the village. People outside rushed in. Those with bows and arrows were on the periphery, just pouring water on the inside. After a while, there was no resistance in the village with hundreds of people.

There was a Japanese pirate who wanted to kneel down and surrender. Before he could say anything while kneeling there, the Jurchen, whose eyes were red, came up to him in a few steps, slashed down with a knife, and walked away with his head directly. The head of a Japanese pirate can be exchanged. to a lot of silver.

There was no resistance in the yard, and some people searched every house again, and some lucky people who hid inside were all slaughtered quickly.

A group of people outside surrounded Wang Tong and watched the battle in front of them. When the Jurchens rushed out, someone waved to Wang Tong, and everyone knew that the battle was over.

"The Jurchens in Haixi are really young and strong. They even fought seven Japanese pirate villages in one day, and they didn't look tired."

Someone exclaimed there, but Wang Tong ordered:
"Give money according to the head level, bandage the injured, send someone to contact the supply convoy behind, set up camp on the spot, and rest tonight!"

At this time, the sun was setting and it was getting dark. Hearing Wang Tong's order, all the people agreed resoundingly. Wang Tong turned around and said with a smile to Ma Sanbiao:

"In the past, when you gave them silver, they didn't care too much, because there were not so many things to buy, and there was nowhere to spend money. But now a large number of merchants come in, collect their products, and sell them goods. They are also more and more aware of the value of silver. Good thing, this time the money will be counted according to the first level, so naturally let them move forward!"

Ma Sanbiao shook his head and laughed. Today was a series of victories. Everyone was in a good mood. Wang Tong stopped his smile and gave another order:

"Tonight, we must send out all the scouts. To know the movements of the Japanese pirate army, we must be accurate, we must see is believing, don't send Jurchens, use our own sons."

Ma Sanbiao agreed, and hurried over to make arrangements, and set up camp at night. During the day, although the Jurchens suffered few casualties, they destroyed seven Japanese pirate strongholds, saw more than 2000 heads, and directly replaced them with The heavy money is very happy. Wang Tong’s repeated orders are not allowed to drink, but everyone has a way to be happy. They simply went to the mountains to hunt, and brought a lot of wild animals, stewed and barbecued, and the whole camp was full of meat. , everyone's emotions are very high.

The news of the military situation arrived much sooner than Wang Tong expected. When it was dark and the camp was still laughing and laughing, there were already three groups of soldiers reporting back, saying that Kato Kiyomasa had led the army out of Xian in the early morning. Xingfu, all the way to the south.

The departure time of the cavalry brigade led by Wang Tong was roughly estimated. It started after Li Hutou and his men stationed at the southern border of Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road and completely blocked North and South Korea.

The Forbidden Army Brigade cut off the Korean peninsula and blocked the retreat of the Hamgyong-do Japanese Bandit Second Corps. They had to get through before they could join the brigade in the south, or they would be trapped in a dead zone.

****************
"Qingzhengdian, don't you need to notify those outposts in the north of Xianxing Mansion?"

A Japanese pirate general in Nanman armor asked beside Kato Kiyomasa. Kato Kiyomasa had a rather lush beard, which is one of the origins of his name Tiger Kato. He stroked his beard and said:
"If the Ming cavalry from the north don't want to hinder the food road, they have to pull out the stockades one by one. This will delay their time and give us a chance to win. I believe they are willing to do so. They will surely Become a god in North Korea."

Singing a big tune, but the meaning is very clear, that is, to completely abandon these people. In addition to the troops directly under the daimyos, there are also some teams that were originally from the wild samurai country. Among them, everyone knows what Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original intention is. On the one hand, it is to attack the Ming Dynasty and North Korea to expand the territory.

Although the country of Wa is now peaceful and the feudal vassals surrendered to Toyotomi's family, no one dared to say that the peace would continue for 200 years in the Warring States period. Everyone tried their best to draw out some elites to stay in the local area, and filled them with temporarily recruited offal. Chen Hideyoshi is also a shrewd person, and the people under him are also heroes, so they dare not use too many tricks like this, but the two thousand people who were stationed in the north by Kato Kiyomasa are all of this kind. As a matter of fact, life and death have nothing to do with it, it is better to die clean.

"Your Highness Qingzheng, it is said that the army of Ming invaders blocking the south is the most elite. I think staying in Hamheung Mansion and contacting His Highness Mori Yoshisei and His Highness Shimadzu on the other side of Gangwon Province will give us a better chance of attacking from both sides. Otherwise, Let's take the mountain road to Ping'an Road and attack Ming Kou's flank."

"If I could take the mountain road to Ping'an Road, I would have done so a month ago. Now there is an army of 10,000+ Ming Kou entrenched there. We have no other end but to become gods. As for the Ming Kou in the south, Even though they are elite, they are stupidly divided into garrisons, and their strength is diluted by several roads. As long as we all join forces and attack one place, we can easily break through and join the Gangwon-do side."

Kato Kiyomasa said in a low voice, and the samurai next to him who made the suggestion nodded in agreement and said:

"This is the strategy that Lord Jiakang said before he left, 'fight more and fight less, and make a quick decision'. The Qingzheng Hall is indeed superb."

Kato Kiyoshi grinned with a smile, stroked his beard and said:

"We've been walking for two days. The troops of Ming Kou who entered Hamgyong-do will have to spend time at Hamheung-do. After we break through the blockade in the south, we will join His Highness Mori Ji-sung's Fourth Army at Gangwon-do and lay down. Let's fight against this Ming bandit."

The topography of Hamgyong-do is that the mountains on the west and north surround the whole area. The more you go south, the flatter the terrain is. Hamheung-fu looks like mountains to the north and hills to the south. Kato Kiyomasa's army walked out to the south In two days, there were only ups and downs, and there were more and more flat lands.

Seeing that the sun is in the middle of the sky, and the nearby river is not small, Kato Kiyomasa is going to order the whole army to stop for a short time, and then move forward after lunch. Most of the Japanese pirates have a simple lunch, that is, eat two rice balls, Kato Kiyomasa and others People may be a little bit of dried meat and fish.

Before Kato Kiyomasa gave the order, he rode up to a high place on one side, looked at both ends of the team as usual, checked for any abnormalities, and then made a decision.

"Inujiro, go to the north to see what happened!"

He saw that there were already signs of disturbance in the northern part of the brigade, so he hurriedly called a banner warrior beside him, ready to go and check.

Not long after this Banner warrior ran out, someone has already rushed over there. The faces of several warriors on the horse turned pale, and they even forgot to get off their horses to salute when they got there, and said angrily:

"Qingzhengdian, Qingzhengdian, the cavalry of the Ming Kou has caught up, the cavalry of the Ming Kou has caught up!!"

By this time, the whole team was a little commotion, because many people felt the tremor of the ground, this kind of tremor was not the kind of earthquake familiar to Wa Kingdom, but a more regular tremor, from the north, from the east and west, It looks like if it outflanks.

Hearing the news, Kato Kiyoshi pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and the whole person shook twice on the horse, almost unable to sit still. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was already hoarse, but he still yelled out:

"The whole army is in formation, formation, iron cannons, big tubes and archery teams are transferred to the formation, hurry up!!!"

The Banner Samurai beside him also panicked, hurried over to deliver the order, and Kato Kiyomasa shouted again:

"Order the Nabeshima Department and Sagara Department to rush south, and the cavalry of the Ming Kou cannot be allowed to occupy the commanding heights on the other side of the road!!"

The horses kept circling in circles. Kato Kiyomasa held the reins with one hand and roared loudly there. On a high ground on the east side of the army, a Ming army cavalry in light armor appeared and stopped the horse. After roughly looking around, he shook the reins and rushed towards the Japanese pirate army. The Japanese pirates were from top to bottom, and many people stared at the cavalry. It's like the tide is rushing here.
