Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 215
The Japanese army in Xicheng was really tenacious. The Ming army continued to attack from Chenshi to Sishi, but they still fought to the death.

At this time, whether it is the Ming army or the Japanese army, they are all red-eyed.In the fierce battle, Yang Yuan, the governor of Jizhen, led the attack and was wounded by the Japanese army.Li Rubai got shot on the head, but fortunately his helmet was thick and he was not injured.

Li Rusong, who even supervised the battle, had his mount killed by the Japanese gunners on the city.However, the two brothers continued to supervise the battle without fear.The general is so brave, let alone the soldiers?

Under the cover of the Wuzhai Fort musketeers, the Ming army climbed up the city one by one, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops on the city. The battle in the west city became more and more intense.

※※※

At the same time, a brutal bloody battle was also going on in the Mudanfeng area of ​​the northern city.

The terrain of Mudanfeng is dangerous, it is the only way from Fengshan to Pyongyang, and it can also support each other with Pyongyang City, which is a key point.The Japanese army has been operating here for a long time, and has built a large number of earthen fortresses, as well as a large number of iron cannons and bows.Both the Japanese army and the Ming army felt that it was very difficult to conquer here.

The defender here is Goto Kayoshi, the Japanese general of the First Army. When the Ming army attacked Pyongyang, he sent people to Fengshan to ask for help. The thundering cannons made him run back in fright, and fled in the direction of Seoul.After Goto Kayo knew the news, he had no other choice but to curse, so he had to strengthen Mudanfeng's defense.

Facing the strict defense of the Japanese on the mountain, Wu Weizhong had no fear, and led three thousand southern soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the top of the mountain.

The southern soldiers led by Wu Weizhong had rich combat experience with the Japanese army, and they attacked in groups of mandarin ducks.When charging, two rattan players were in front, covering a group of 12 people with rattan cards to resist the Japanese iron cannon bows and arrows.After the rattan players are two wolf gunners, then two long gunners, then two bird musketeers, and finally two short soldiers, and a firehead army.The captain stood in the center of the front line.

Although the Japanese army's iron cannon bows and arrows were strong, under the close cover of the rattan players, Wu Weizhong quickly led the soldiers to the mountain despite paying a certain amount of casualties.

The military law of Qi's army was strict back then. If the battle was ineffective and defeated, the general would be beheaded.The main general died in battle, and all the partial generals were beheaded.The general died in battle, and all the generals under his command were beheaded.Chief Qian was killed in battle, and all the chief executives under him were beheaded.Bai Zong died in battle, and all the Banners under his command were beheaded.Banner died in battle, and all the captains under him were beheaded.The captain died in battle, the soldiers were not captured, and all ten soldiers were beheaded.

However, the rewards for beating the enemy are also very generous, the reward for beating an enemy is 40 taels of silver for the first level.This also understands why the Qi family army was invincible back then.They often kill thousands of enemies, and their own casualties are less than ten.

Although Qi Jiguang had not been in Nanbing for many years, he also passed away a few years ago.However, as the direct successor of Qi's army, Nanbing has preserved many glorious traditions.They are still fighting with the same bravery, and even though there are no large groups of Japanese pirates in the Jiangnan area, there are still some small groups of Japanese pirates sporadically invading. Incomparably rich.

Seeing that the Ming army quickly attacked the mountain, the Japanese army was extremely anxious, and resorted to their signature tactics, fighting hand to hand.

Goto Kayoshi raised the folding fan in his hand, and groups of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the bunker, holding long knives, bamboo spears, etc., screaming wildly, and rushed towards the Ming soldiers.

The Japanese army has always been very crazy in hand-to-hand combat. Those who charge forward are the bravest samurai in each team.These people are proficient in swordsmanship, and their samurai swords are very sharp, with a wide sheath and a convenient drawer.Especially the Japanese samurai rushing to the front are very good at jumping. They hold the sword in both hands, and the sword is in front of them between rushing and jumping.The first time I saw the Japanese samurai's fighting methods, it would indeed take away my morale. Often, if I was not careful, or if I was a little less timid, I would be chopped into two sets.

The Japanese soldiers behind these warriors were slightly less effective, holding bows and arrows, javelins, or bamboo spears in their hands.However, they also know how to keep in touch with their comrades-in-arms around them at any time and cooperate in combat.

Seeing these Japanese wow-wow coming, Wu Weizhong could see it clearly, and snorted coldly in his heart: "The fighting methods of these Japanese people are still the same as when they harassed Jiangnan before, they haven't changed at all."

Wu Weizhong himself was extremely proficient in dealing with Japanese tactics, but the 2000 Japanese soldiers in Mudanfeng didn't know anything about the southern soldiers' combat methods.

Under Wu Weizhong's order, the formations of the various units of the Southern Army that were charging ahead changed one after another. The shield players retreated, the wolf soldiers stepped forward, the spearmen followed closely, the bird gunners followed, and the shieldmen and daggers followed. Hand guards on both sides.After each team changed formation, they continued to rush forward.

Soon, the two sides clashed and fought hand to hand.

"Onboard!"

Some Japanese samurai at the front were screaming, holding sharp katanas in both hands, followed by a group of people.When they got close, they took advantage of the momentum, jumped several meters, and the samurai swords in their hands flashed coldly, and they slashed at the southern soldiers head-on.

Their image is very scary, but how can they scare the southern soldiers who lived in the south of the Yangtze River and fought countless Japanese pirates?While they were running and jumping, the shield soldiers behind the wolf gunmen threw heavy javelins one after another.

This caused the Japanese samurai who charged at the forefront to fall down suddenly, and some Japanese samurai were nailed to the ground by javelins on the spot.Some Japanese samurai quickly dodged, but their charge immediately became disorganized.

In the blink of an eye, the southern soldiers had rushed to them. The wolf whisks in the hands of the wolf pickers were all soaked in tung oil, and covered with iron branches and barbs.One fork over, like a big broom.Those Japanese samurai hurriedly raised their knives and slashed, but how could it have the slightest effect?The wolves entangled and swung the samurai swords in the hands of the Japanese warriors to the ground. Before they could react, the pikemen behind the wolves rushed up and stabbed them. die on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, most of the Japanese warriors who charged forward were killed or injured.These people were the bravest fighters in each team. When they died, the ordinary Japanese soldiers in each team couldn't help panicking.However, the Japanese army was indeed fierce. After the panic, they quickly came back to their senses, and desperately charged and killed the southern soldiers, and the two sides fought together.

The Japanese army's bamboo spearmen were in front, and some of them held eight-foot-long bamboo bows. Many people were still injured.There are also javeliners in the Japanese army who throw javelins behind the formation from time to time, which also caused certain casualties to the southern soldiers.Their iron artillery also shoots from time to time, and these iron artillerymen do the most damage.

And the rattan players in the southern soldiers also kept throwing javelins in the direction of the Japanese army.The archers and musketeers kept shooting, covering for the front wolf gunners and spearmen.The short soldiers are also on the side to protect the Japanese army from attacking from the side.

Wu Weizhong also moved some tiger squatting guns in the general to the front, frequently bombarding the Japanese formations, causing great damage to the Japanese.However, due to geographical problems, the Ming army was at a disadvantage when attacking from the bottom up. In addition, the Japanese army was indeed very tenacious, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while.

During the fierce battle, Wu Weizhong, who was the former commander, was shot in the chest. Fortunately, he was well protected by the armor on his body, but there was blood oozing from his chest, and he was not seriously injured.The subordinates wanted to bandage Wu Weizhong's wound, but Wu Weizhong ignored him and stood upright, shouting to command the attack.

After three consecutive charges, Mudanfeng was breached at last, the Japanese army suffered thousands of casualties, and the rest fled. The Japanese commander Goto Kayoshi committed suicide.The fierce battle at Mudanfeng is over.

※※※

In the west of Pyongyang City, fierce fighting is taking place in the north of the city, and in the south of the city, the fighting is also in full swing.

At Hantan Gate in the south of the city, Luo Shangzhi, a member of the Shenji Battalion, led his [-] generals, and [-] elite southern troops were attacking.

The Shenji Battalion was established in Yongle. As one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, it was responsible for the important task of "guarding the capital inside and preparing for war outside". It was equipped with a large number of artillery, muskets, and firecrackers.In the battle of Mobei, Ming Chengzu put forward the combat principle of "spiritual guns are at the front, and cavalry is at the back".

At the beginning of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Shenji Camp invented the method of warfare in which gunmen were divided into three rows in the middle, and swordsmen and spearmen were divided into two wings. Moreover, the firearms in the Shenji Camp were specially produced by the Bingjue Bureau managed by the Neifu. The quality is guaranteed, and the power of the firecracker is even more evident.

At this time, outside the Hantan Gate, rows of gunners from the Shenji Battalion kept shooting at the top of the city, covering the southern soldiers from attacking the city.Under heavy fire, the Japanese army suffered many casualties.However, the Japanese army was indeed very tenacious and never retreated. The Ming army attacked the city several times and was beaten down several times. The fighting was very fierce.

Luo Shangzhi, a member of the Shenji Battalion, has excellent martial arts skills and amazing arm strength. He is known as "Luo Qianjin". Seeing that the battle has been unfavorable, his blood surged and he took the lead in attacking the city. The Japanese army hit him with rolling stones, and Luo Shangzhi was hit in the abdomen , Still reluctantly boarded the city.Seeing his bravery, the rest of the Ming army were very encouraged and followed him to the city.

At this time, Nanlumen in the south of the city suddenly burst into a loud cry. It turned out that Zu Chengxun, the deputy general of Liaodong, led a thousand Ming troops and mixed with the attacking court soldiers.The [-] new North Korean troops guarding Nanlumen didn't care much when they saw that the ones attacking their own gate were also Koreans.

Unexpectedly, the [-] Ming soldiers led by Zu Chengxun changed the uniforms of the Korean army, revealing the armor of the Ming army.Soon, the Japanese military flag on the city was also chopped off and replaced with the Ming military flag.Amidst the cheers of the Ming army resounding through the sky, Nanlu Gate was breached.

※※※

When one gate fell, all six gates were shocked, and the will of the Japanese army collapsed in an instant.The Ming army was greatly encouraged, and soon, the Seven Star Gate in the west of the city where Li Rusong mainly supervised the battle was also breached. Next, Li Rubai also broke through the ordinary gate not far away, and the Ming army of the brigade rushed into the city one after another.

The city of Pyongyang is broken!
