Chapter 115 Li Rusong's Bloody Battle at Kaesong
Kobayakawa Takakage would not really joke about his own life. After all, he was getting old, and the cursing before was just pure displeasure. Under such circumstances, he would be asking for his own death. He was no more afraid of the Ming army than other There are fewer people, and he knows that as long as you keep most of your main force and the battle is imminent, even if you lose Kaesong, you will not be held accountable, at most you will be reprimanded.

There is no way, the Ming army is too strong, we resist desperately, who knows that the Ming army set fire to the city, in desperation we can only lead the army to withdraw to prevent being encircled and wiped out by the Ming army, hugging the vitality of the third and sixth armies, it can be regarded as a sin and meritorious deed ?

Veteran Takakage Kobayakawa and Kuroda Rusui's son Kuroda Nagamasa have a special status. Even if they lose a battle, it will not threaten their status, let alone their lives.

The city was meant to be abandoned, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's just for a sigh of relief, now that your life is almost gone, what do you need this breath for?
Takakage Kobayakawa rushed out of Kaesong in a flash, and ran to the Linjin River to find Kuroda Nagamasa who was appeasing the army to speed up the river crossing. There was smoke, the morale of the army fluctuated, and even some soldiers rushed to cross the river. He drew his sword and slashed three people to stabilize the scene. Now Takakage Kobayakawa came out wearing armor, and he hurried forward to ask.

"What the hell happened?!"

"Don't ask, the Ming army raided, and the west gate has been breached. I don't know how many people are there. They still set fire to the city. The Kaicheng must not be able to defend it. Immediately arrange the army to cross the river quickly. I will let Tachibana Zongshige lead the army to defend the east. The door is buying time."

Kuroda Nagamasa was shocked: "Where are the cavalry responsible for scouting the enemy? Are they all dead?"

"I don't know! Why did they pop out all of a sudden! It looks like there are a lot of people! Those sentinels should be seppuku! Damn it!" When this matter was mentioned, Takakage Kobayakawa was also full of anger. He said: "But no matter what, we must arrange for the army to cross the river immediately, and quickly! I have sent people to gather the army in the city. In case Tachibana Zongshige can't hold the east gate, the Ming soldiers break through and chase to the riverside. At that time, we will really have to cut seppuku collectively!"

Kuroda Nagamasa broke out in a cold sweat, took a breath, nodded immediately, and ordered his subordinates to speed up to cross the river. A boat can accommodate a few more people for me. As long as the boat doesn’t capsize, it’s fine. You can even have someone tied to a rope. Pull them together and take them to the other side. As long as they cross the river successfully, the Ming army will not be able to catch up!

Because we can burn all the boats, can't they still swim over? !
Kuroda Nagamasa and Kobayakawa Takakage immediately split up to speed up the army's crossing of the river. Those soldiers knew that something was wrong when they saw the black smoke in the city. Now that the generals have appeared and asked everyone to cross the river quickly, what happened in the city? Isn't it just a matter of one sentence?
don't want to die!Hurry up and cross the river!

Takakage Kobayakawa grabbed a boat to cross the river first, and then found Yoshihiro Shimadzu of the Fourth Army Corps on the opposite side who was in charge of supporting the troops crossing the river. His troops were all Satsuma soldiers, and they were good at using iron cannons. , with his troops guarding the river bank, it would be difficult for the Ming army to cross the river. Therefore, Takakage Kobayakawa approached Yoshihiro Shimadzu and asked his troops to provide help. But very upset, he agreed.

With Shimadzu Yoshihiro's support, the troops of the Third Army and Sixth Army who crossed the river also gained confidence, and began to speed up in an orderly manner, sending people to the east bank of Linjin River one by one.

And the battle of Li Rusong in the city is gradually coming to an end. The fire in Kaesong has turned into wasteland, and the Japanese invaders have no reason to stick to it. Threatening Seoul, the base camp of the Japanese invaders, Li Rusong's heart became hot when he thought about it, and he led his troops to charge and fight fiercely, beheading countless Japanese pirates' heads along the way, but his own losses were very small.

The success of Kaicheng is already a certainty, but Li Rusong is absolutely dissatisfied, and he will never stop there. The city is not the place where the cavalry can show off their power the most, but the flat land outside the city is where the cavalry can show their power and teach the Japanese pirates a lesson. Therefore, Li Rusong kept rushing towards the east. After rushing for a while, he did not meet any Japanese pirates, and his vision ahead was not very good. The experience of licking blood brought him an extremely keen sixth sense.

He almost instinctively lowered his body on the horse's back and shouted "Bow your head", but unfortunately most of the people with him were Jurchens who couldn't understand Chinese, and didn't understand Li Rusong's meaning, so the oncoming one The batch of lead bullets knocked down more than a dozen Jurchen cavalrymen, and a large number of horses were shot to death. Li Rusong's mount became an unjustly killed horse, and instead of Li Rusong, he was smashed into a sieve by dense lead bullets. Li Rusong fell off the horse, but it was amazing. Not hurt at all.

The sound of muskets stimulated Li Rusong's nerves. He looked up, and under the smog, he actually saw a tall tower on the opposite side.

He had seen this kind of formation in the Zhenjiang Fort camp. Xiao Ruxun arranged the pawns in this way. Now his subordinates have no shields, no cannons, only flesh and blood. Looking back, there are already a dozen rushing towards him. The Jurchen soldier had already been beaten to death, and there were still a group of others who fell to the ground like him and hadn't gotten up yet. Li Rusong gritted his teeth and grabbed the body of a dead Jurchen soldier as a cover. run.

Gunshots rang out constantly behind him, and lead shots flew over him, but Li Rusong was completely uninjured, and he was lucky.

At this time, when they heard the sound of this area, many cavalry began to gather here, and Nurhachi was the first to arrive. He saw Li Rusong panting against the wall of the house at a glance, and almost scared his soul out. Dismounted and ran over: "Da Lang! Are you all right?"

"It's okay! Don't cry like a mourner! God damn Japanese pirates, they're playing with the blunderbuss formation, let the army gather, you bring a group of people to charge me, break their formation! Get out of the east gate!"

"promise!"

Li Rusong was very upset about the incident that he fell off his horse and almost died. The master humiliated his ministers to death. As soon as Nurhachi said that, he summoned a group of about 300 cavalrymen who could be summoned, and rushed out. After a while, Li Rusong heard a dense crowd The scalp-numbing gunshots made Li Rusong a little worried, but soon, Li Rusong saw Nurhachi, who was ashamed and frightened.

"Dalang, I have too few soldiers, and I was defeated before I rushed over..."

Well, after losing hundreds of cavalry, Li Rusong slammed his fist on the wall, remembering how Xiao Ruxun dealt with the Japanese pirates' gun array, he was a little annoyed at that time - if he had known, he would have pushed a few carts and cannons over. One or two of those little devils were obediently cleaned up by Che Pao. It would be great if they brought Che Pao!
but……

It has to be said that at this moment, he actually admired Xiao Ruxun's strategic plan of using infantry as the main force. After coming to North Korea, he had seen the terrain of North Korea. This remote place is really not suitable for the development and combat of cavalry. The muskets of Japanese pirates are quite sharp, one shot or two is nothing, but if one or two hundred shots are fired together, even if they can't kill people, it is enough for him to feel distressed if a group of horses are killed...

And at this moment, the battle situation is not too good for Li Rusong.
