Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 632: War in Korea (2)

"Boom boom boom..."

The deafening sound of artillery fire resounded over Pyongyang City, and countless solid bullets were fired rapidly in the air, roaring towards the city wall of Pyongyang.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The solid bullet hit the city wall, sending rubbles flying, heat waves surging, and the ear-splitting collision blocked the shouts and screams. Pyongyang City was like a hell on earth!

The smell in the air was nauseating.

The smell of blood is mixed with the smell of burnt meat, and even the smell of gunpowder smoke. This all shows the cruelty of war, but that's what war is!
"Is this the power of tomorrow's army?"

In the battle line outside the South City of Pyongyang, Li Shi, who was protected by countless warriors and rode on horseback, stared at the city wall covered by artillery fire in front of him, his eyes widened, "Fighting with such a heavenly army, there is no other way but death." , I’m afraid there is no other way.”

"Yes."

Next to him, Nan Yixing's Adam's apple moved up and down, "If the Tomorrow Army could enter the DPRK earlier, I'm afraid Pyongyang City would not be captured by the Jianlu!!"

When talking about this, Nan Yixing felt a little emotional.

Since the Jianlu invaded North Korea, all the roads in northern Korea have been in chaos. The ferocity and bravery of the Jianlu have been vividly demonstrated in each battle.

The successive fall of the two provinces of Xianjing and Xianjing shocked North Korea. Therefore, North Korea urgently sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to seek assistance and protection from the sovereign state.

However, as the sovereign state, the Ming Dynasty agreed to North Korea's request to send troops to aid North Korea, but it was very different from before. The army sent by the Ming Dynasty to North Korea to aid North Korea required a lot of money, food and equipment, including firearms and artillery consumed on the battlefield, and various equipment. Type ordnance, etc. must be fully supplied by the Korean royal family! !
This also leads to some unpleasant things happening.

When taking advantage becomes a habit and suddenly starts asking for money, this situation will inevitably occur. However, for the Ming army who aided the DPRK, they did not have to rush to aid the DPRK!
"Huang Taiji is really a tough hero!"

Not far away from the Korean army commanded by Li Shi and Nan Yixing, in the Ming army's line, Liang Zhiyuan, holding a telescope in his hand, observed the battlefield situation on the front line and said with emotion: "With this kind of troops, not only can we conquer Both Hamgyong and Xianjing roads were completely captured, and most of the areas on the east and west Ping'an roads were still under control. They fought against our aiding troops on the east and west Ping'an roads. The battle to aid Korea and resist the Japanese invaders may be difficult to reverse in a short period of time. "

Sun Chengzong, who was observing the battle ahead, heard what Liang Zhiyuan said, but he didn't say much and just watched quietly.

The war to aid Korea and resist the Japanese invaders finally started.

The war in Korea was not easy at all.

Although the top Ming army leaders headed by Sun Chengzong knew that the North Korean army might not be a match for Jianlu, they did not expect it to be so fragile. The successive fall of Hamgyeong Province made the Jianlu's reputation spread throughout North Korea. However, the Jianlu's burning, killing and looting in Hamgyeong Province made most places in the neighboring Ping'an Province choose to resist desperately! !
During this period, the army under the command of Sun Chengzong to aid Korea was stationed in Dandong (Xinjian), waiting for North Korea's decision. Jeju Island was to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty. During the period of aid to Korea, a large amount of money, food and equipment were provided, including subsequent replenishment of firearms, artillery, and various ordnance. The consumption must be fully borne by the North Korean royal family.

"This Li Hui is really stupid!!"

Mao Wenlong, who was observing the battle situation, couldn't help but sneer when he thought of what he knew after going to the court. "I couldn't even see through Jianlu's plan to alienate him. I killed so many people. Now it's better. I gave it to Jianlu to gather." There are not many opportunities for Jianlu and Zhentar to invade Korea in the northern areas of Korea, but there are currently many rebels for Jianlu to drive! "

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Chengzong put away his telescope and glanced at Mao Wenlong, "What decision the King of Korea makes is not something we can discuss in private. For us now, it is how to fight the next battle!"

"The Eight Banners' ability to gather troops is indeed very strong. Although the battle line has been pushed to the front line of Pyongyang, if the next battle is not fought well, then the previous battles will be in vain."

Although in Sun Chengzong's heart, he could not understand some of Li Hui's behavior, but in any case, Li Hui was the king of Korea and a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. As long as some dissatisfaction did not affect the war to aid Korea, he could not talk about it in private. Let’s discuss it, so we won’t discuss it in private. After all, it has nothing to do with the war situation!
"Prince Fu, are you going to attack the city today?"

Mao Wenlong suppressed his sneer, looked at Sun Chengzong on horseback and said: "Our troops have been besieging Pyongyang for several days, and have been shelling Pyongyang City for several days..."

"We won't attack the city for now."

Sun Chengzong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The morale of the North Korean army who accompanied the army has not yet been fully united, and the defense lines built in various places have not yet been stabilized. Attacking the city hastily will be detrimental to our army. Wait a moment, the battle in Pyongyang is very critical to our army. If there is Any mistake may lead to a reversal of the situation.”

Unlike Xiong Tingbi who fought in the Liao Dynasty, Sun Chengzong focused on stability. Their styles were completely different. Xiong Tingbi was red-eyed and dared to attack fiercely regardless of the situation. This also made Xiong Manzi's name very famous in the Liao Dynasty. After all, This is an existence that can make even the Tatars call them barbarians, which is rare!
But for Sun Chengzong, no matter how anxious the war situation was, he would not make a rash decision. Firstly, the aid to Korea to fight against the captives was far away from the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, the various Ming army units that went to Korea were still large in scale. , but what can really be called the elite are the 20,000 soldiers of the Shenshu Camp led by Duyou Shilu.

Most of the teams led by Mao Wenlong and others are brave new recruits. Even though they have received a long training, they have never been on the battlefield. These new recruits have never been on the battlefield and have not seen blood, so they cannot be regarded as warriors. Pawn comes to use.

These were best demonstrated after they had landed by boat from the right route of the Yellow Sea and had fought several battles with the Jianlu!

Sun Chengzong's stability may not be appropriate if it is placed in Liaodong. After all, the Ming Dynasty has been defeated in Liaodong too many times before. In the conflicts and wars with the Jianlu, the Ming Dynasty needs to show its military power, otherwise it will not make the Jianlu fearful. , Xiong Tingbi did this very well.

But if it were placed in North Korea, it would be different.

Anyway, during the war with Jianlu, all the money, food, supplies, etc. were fully covered by the Korean royal family, and it would not drag down the central finance of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this battle should be fought as steadily as possible!
"Huang Taiji and the others must be kept in North Korea, otherwise if the troops evacuate North Korea, it will definitely be a threat to Liaodong!"

Sun Chengzong pondered for a moment, remembering the previous battles with the Jianlu who invaded North Korea. Looking at the battlefield in front of him, Sun Chengzong said in a low tone: "This Huang Taiji, compared with Nurhaci, is completely different. If this person is called Jianlu If we can control the situation, there may be changes for our government!”
