Chapter 116 Li Rusong's Bloody Battle at Kaesong
Nurhachi's strong attack was repelled, and all the troops could not gather for a while. If the Japanese pirates blocked here, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?

Right now there were no vehicles and artillery, and the siege was hindered, Li Rusong was so anxious, anxious and angry, he punched out again, with a bang, a wooden door of a private house was smashed open by Li Rusong and fell to the ground. Li Rusong was stunned by a horrified cry...

Tachibana Zongshige repelled the Ming army's charge twice in a row, and he felt a little proud. The Satsuma domain was the first place in Japan to come into contact with firearms, and it was also the first place to organize firearms troops. The Satsuma iron gunners are famous all over Japan and are well-known The strong army, this time with Kobayakawa Takakage went to battle, all the way like a broken bamboo, the North Koreans were terrified, and they were captured in the royal capital in 20 days. Seeing that North Korea was about to perish and Japan was about to win, all of a sudden, the situation changed reverse.

The news of the annihilation of Konishi's entire army from the north made the Japanese army panic. Everyone was talking about the failure of Konishi's powerful army that captured the three capitals of North Korea, and it failed so badly. Under the tragic situation, the Japanese army who was proud of everything was hit hard.

But this is only an impact after all, not seeing it with their own eyes and experiencing it with their own eyes. They have no intuitive feeling. Only through intuitive feeling can they know the strength of the Ming army. They woke up from their dreams, and in a panic, a large number of people fled Kaesong in a hurry. As the troops in the rear, and the glory of the Japanese army, they had to follow their master to stay behind for the army, and endured. Fight with the fear in your heart.

Fortunately, the two consecutive small-scale attacks of the Ming cavalry failed under their skillful three-stage attack. This more or less gave the Japanese army a little confidence and the momentum they should have, and they began to recover A certain will to fight is not supported by Tachibana Muneshige's personal prestige. After defeating the attack of the Ming army just now, Tachibana Muneshige found that many people around him were relieved and regained the courage to fight.

What is needed is this kind of courage to fight. Only by fighting can there be hope, and he can persist until the army crosses the river. He made an appointment with Takakage Kobayakawa. They led the army to retreat, and when the time comes to retreat in an orderly manner, as long as there is no chaos, the Ming army will not dare to pursue it, and they probably got the goal of Kaesong.

Because Tachibana Muneshige only has more than 500 troops in his hands, although he has the tower as the commanding height to suppress the Ming army, if the Ming army is really determined to suppress the entire army, he probably won't get any benefits.

So Tachibana Muneshige did not choose to go up the city wall, and only more than 200 people were arranged on the city wall. The main force was concentrated on the ground, so that they could retreat at any time. There was a great risk of being cut off by the Ming army if they stayed on the tower.

While thinking, someone suddenly shouted: "Ming soldiers are here!"

Tachibana Munemo hurriedly pulled out his saber and pointed to the front. He was about to let the iron gunner fire, but saw a whole row of strangely shaped wooden planks advancing slowly on the wide road ahead. Tachibana Zongshige immediately realized that this was the Ming army using the wooden planks as shields for defense. Iron Pao, with a sneer, ordered the whole army to shoot.

"emission!!!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"emission!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"emission!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Three volleys were fired, and the lead bullets flew towards the shield of the Ming army, making a crackling sound. Li Rusong frowned, not knowing that he had demolished the gates, dining tables, and even wooden beds of North Korean residents. Whether the "shield" can defend against the Japanese pirates' iron cannon salvo, he only remembered that he had heard that Xiao Ruxun used the captured Japanese pirates' iron cannons for experiments, and found that the Japanese pirates' iron cannons could penetrate a three-inch-thick wooden board at the same distance. However, Daming's blunderbuss can only penetrate about one to two inches.

Xiao Ruxun also said, "The medicine chamber of the Japanese blunderbuss is larger than my bird blunderbuss, and I have more than [-]% more medicine per shot, so it has a long range and great power. The amount of each shot of my blunderbuss is small. If I only fight with blunderbuss, I am not as good as the Japanese blunderbuss." Li Rusong also felt that Xiao Ruxun was using other people's ambitions to destroy his prestige, even after winning the battle, he said that I was not as good as a Japanese. Now it seems that Little Japan has indeed gone farther than Daming on the road of firecrackers...

Therefore, after the Japanese pirates fired a volley, Li Rusong quickly asked about the defensive effect. After receiving the news that "the Japanese guns cannot break through our army's three-layer wooden shield", Li Rusong breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave an order that the Korean houses suffered...

Tachibana Zongshige found that the Ming army quickly retreated after three rounds of volley, and thought that the tactics worked, but he didn't see any corpses left by the Ming army. As a result, when the Ming army came again, he was dumbfounded.

The Ming army rushed towards here with more and more strangely shaped wooden shields. Li Rusong personally led the charge this time. He wanted to get back his face and found that Japanese guns could not break these "wooden shields". After that, it also ordered to pour water on these wooden shields, and spread some clothes, quilts and the like. Anyway, it robbed all the clothes and quilts of the Koreans who survived in Kaesong, and the Koreans also Want to cry but have no tears...

"emission!!!"

Tachibana Zongshige immediately gave the order to shoot, and the iron gunner quickly put out a three-stage strike and started to shoot, but Li Rusong was not to be outdone, and after he rushed within the range of the bow and arrow, he immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow!"

The Jurchen soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows, and shot towards the sky at the Japanese pirates' positions on the opposite side. Tachibana Munemo didn't have so many shields, so he could only hold up a layer of rattan shields, which had limited defense. A group of Japanese pirates were killed Shooting to death, Tachibana Zongshige was furious and ordered the iron gunners on the city wall to start firing condescendingly. After a volley, seventy or eighty Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground. Li Rusong immediately ordered the army to shoot arrows at the top of the city to fight back, and then ordered the army to speed up. dash.

Tachibana Muneshige didn't realize that the iron cannons couldn't pierce those strangely shaped shields until this time, he was a little flustered, but soon calmed down, and ordered the soldiers to bring the only ten large iron cannons in his hand and put them in front of the formation , With an order, ten large iron cannons were fired.

Now the "wooden shield" couldn't hold back, the wooden shields in the front row were smashed by this sudden huge blow, Li Rusong's shield soldiers were also knocked down and screamed, at this time the Japanese pirates fired another round of salvo , and another seventy or eighty Jurchen soldiers were knocked down to the ground. Nurhachi's heart was about to break. He ordered Li Rusong to retreat while ordering to shoot back with arrows.

Li Rusong looked at the soldiers who kept falling to the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, he picked up a piece of wood with a roar, and shouted: "How can we retreat when we are all here! If we retreat, we will surely die! There is a chance of survival before advancing!! All troops! Follow me rush!!!"
