Chapter 114 Assault on Kaesong
"Follow me to kill!!!"

Li Rusong was so red-eyed that he chopped a Japanese pirate into two pieces with one knife, stepped forward and slammed one person away, cut the throats of three Japanese pirates with a sweep of the horizontal knife, and instantly killed five Japanese pirates. , The tiger roared again and again, waiting for the Japanese pirates to dare not approach him, the Japanese pirate officer screamed strangely and rushed to fight him, and within a few rounds, Li Rusong smashed the knife in his hand and pinched his throat with one hand.

Li Rusong stared at him firmly, squeezed his palm hard, and the Japanese pirate officer immediately rolled his eyes, Li Rusong threw his hands behind him, and continued to charge forward.

Although Li Rusong was indeed brave and fearless, his servants also fought desperately and never retreated, but after all, they were few in number, and some servants were hacked to death by Japanese pirates' long knives, stabbed to death with spears, and sacrificed heroically, but no one retreated.

Li Rusong's eyes were shattered when he saw it—these were all his family background, his personal soldiers, life and death brothers who had been together since childhood! !
"Slave! Why don't you come!!"

Li Rusong knocked down seven or eight Japanese pirates in a row, and roared to the sky.

What responded to him was the familiar neighing of the horse and the firing of the three-eyed gun.

"Da Lang! I'll come too!!"

Nurhachi arrived at the most critical time, and the cavalrymen on the horse ignited the fuse of the three-eyed blunderbuss extremely skillfully, fired a burst of lasing, and shot the Japanese pirates on their backs, and then the cavalry rushed straight away with the three-eyed blunderbuss Go up, catch a Japanese pirate like a sledgehammer, and hit the Japanese pirate's body or head with a three-eyed blunderbuss. The Japanese pirates were blown away by the powerful force. He was blown up, sprayed red and white all over the face and body of the people around him.

The three-eyed blunderbuss belongs to the Huomen gun of the old era, and is one of the firearms most used by the Liaodong cavalry. Nurhachi, who was born out of the Liaodong cavalry, would also teach his Jurchen elite soldiers to use the three-eyed blunderbuss. Although they can fire three times in a row, the accuracy is not good. Well, the best shooting range is only [-] steps, but Sheng can be used as a mace after firing. Many Liaodong cavalry rushed to the enemy and fired the ammunition, and directly swung the three-eyed gun as a mace. , Knock with a certain amount, often can knock the seven orifices of the enemy to bleed to the ground and die, and if you are unlucky, you can smash the head.

After being hit so hard, the group of Japanese pirates surrounding the city gate collapsed completely. They were completely killed by the Liaodong Han cavalry who rushed in first and the Jurchen cavalry who followed closely behind. Li Rusong snatched one of them. Ma, waving the saber in his hand, roared: "Brothers! Let me kill you!!!"

"kill!!!!"

The cavalry let out angry and excited roars, and the most primitive killing gene in their bodies was revived, stimulating them to keep moving forward and forward!

This time, the Japanese pirates were no longer in the state of waiting for the cavalry of the Ming army to throw themselves into the net. They were scattered in every corner of the city, and were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Ming army. The confusion made it difficult for the Japanese army to tell how many people from the Ming army were attacking, causing them to panic.

Anyway, the city was burned by North Koreans, and the dead were also North Koreans. He didn’t feel sorry for him at all. The Jurchen cavalry, who were full of skill points in burning, killing and looting, said that we are very good at this kind of thing, and we promise to hand in full marks. !

It just so happened that the westerly wind was blowing today, and the wind was not too weak. Thick black smoke was flowing along the west gate to the east gate. The Japanese soldiers in Dongcheng District, who had not been attacked, were already flustered when they saw the thick black smoke rising and coming. Panic.

The news of the annihilation of Konishi's headquarters in Pyongyang City has spread. Thanks to the soldiers under Kuroda Nagamasa, they told the news to the soldiers under Kobayakawa Takakage, and then everyone trembled together and talked about it. His face changed, and he was even more frightened and inexplicable towards Xiao Ruxun, the general of the Ming army who had caused that fiasco.

And at this time, someone who was still alive shouted "Ming soldiers are coming" and took the lead in fleeing, which immediately triggered a wave of more and more soldiers in the vicinity abandoning their predetermined defensive positions and fleeing. They tried to stop it but couldn't, what's more, the officers took the lead in running away.

The prestige of World War I has reached this point.

At this moment, guarding Kaesong is nominally 1 people from Kobayakawa Takakage's department and 7000 people from Kuroda Nagamasa's department. However, due to strict orders from Seoul, they had to send their troops to the other side of the Linjin River in batches. However, due to the psychology of resistance and shame, they moved very slowly. After three days, only about 5000 troops were withdrawn. In other words, there are at least 1 Japanese pirates guarding the city at this moment.

The commotion at the west gate did not quickly attract the attention of Kobayakawa Takakage and Kuroda Nagamasa. At this time Kobayakawa Takakage was sitting in the city, and Kuroda Nagamasa arranged for troops to cross the river. They did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly launch a surprise attack, because they The information obtained is that the main force of the Ming army has been stationed in Pyongyang since half a month ago and has never gone south, and it seems to be preparing for something.

However, the loud noise was still heard by Kobayakawa Takakage, whose hearing was degraded by age, he stood up in a panic and ran out of his mansion, hearing the frightening sound.

"What's wrong?!"

He hurriedly asked the people around him, but the people around him also looked bewildered and at a loss. He was so angry that he immediately stretched out his feet and kicked them to ask them to go out to inquire about the news. He rushed back to the house and began to put on his armor. If the army came to sneak attack, it would be more ominous, and by the way, I had to scold those bastards who went out to hunt for the enemy half to death.

He was clearly out of luck today.

When he put on his armor and ordered the army to assemble, the outside inquirer came and said that it was confirmed that the west city gate was successfully attacked by the Ming army, and the Ming army cavalry had already entered the city. It is not known how many people there were, and the Ming army They were setting fire along the way, and the fire was already raging. Half of the Japanese army fell into chaos, and the other half was thinking about life in confusion.

Looking at the large amount of black smoke and raging flames rising from the city not far away, Kobayakawa Longjing was already inexplicably terrified.

The only remaining reason and military common sense told him that Kaesong could not be defended, and there was no need to keep it. In an abandoned city, no amount of troops can defend an abandoned city. When the fire broke out, the morale of the army has been scattered. The surprise attack of the Ming army is really unprepared.

At this moment, what the old man regrets the most is that he did not follow the order of Ukita Hideo's family to gather all the troops to the east bank of the Linjin River within three days. How is it going now? I don't know how much loss there will be. Being chased and beaten by the Ming army across the Linjin River would really affect the whole body.

After all, Kobayakawa Takakage was a veteran on the battlefield. After a short period of panic, he immediately regained his composure, and immediately made a few deployments.

First, let the subordinates scatter out to look for the scattered troops, immediately gather the troops and gather at the east gate, then leave Kaesong quickly, and go to the river to cross the river quickly; second, let the most powerful subordinate Tachibana Zongshige lead All the soldiers and horses that can be gathered so far are defending at the East City Gate, strictly preventing the Ming army from breaking through the East City Gate to pursue the main force crossing the river, so as not to cause too much loss to the main forces of the Sixth Army and the Third Army in the event of chaos.

After ordering these two things, Kobayakawa Takakage left the temporary headquarters with his personal guards, left Kaesong and rushed to the riverside, preparing to cross the river with Kuroda Nagamasa.
