The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 623: Fire coverage! Fire coverage!
On the canopy.

Torrential rain.

The horse's hooves stepped into the mud and pulled out the mud soup.

The soldiers in front of him held the reins and used the force to move forward.

The red felt on his body was soaked by the rain and became as hard as an iron plate.

The steel armor inside is attached to the body.

The sight line is pushed up.

Thousands of soldiers struggled forward in the heavy rain.

A ranger galloped from the back to the front.

Then he dismounted and said to the general who was also riding his horse:

"General! It's raining too hard!"

"The soldiers are not connected from beginning to end!"

"Let's wait until the rain stops before we go!"

The general who had braved the wind and rain wiped his face and said with a smile:
"Back then, I led 30,000 cavalrymen and annihilated 100,000 Tartars in the north wind and snow without any problem!"

"What's the point of just killing Japanese in the rain?"

"Don't be noisy!"

"Then your people followed closely!"

Then he continued on his way.

……

[It was summer when the Ming army entered Korea. It had been raining heavily for days, and the road from Dingzhou to Pyongyang was muddy and difficult to travel.]

[The Joseon Prime Minister Liu Chenglong advised the Ming army to postpone its advance, but Zu Chengxun insisted on marching alone to Pyongyang.]

[He led 3,000 cavalrymen and 500 Korean soldiers on a difficult journey, and was exhausted when he arrived outside Pyongyang.]

[Konishi Yukinaga had already ordered the Japanese army to stop fighting and prepare for battle, and then opened the city gates, intending to catch the Ming army in a trap.]

[Faced with this obvious danger, Zu Chengxun once again showed his arrogance and underestimation of the enemy, thinking that the Japanese army was just bluffing and using an empty city strategy.]

[He led the army to march forward slowly and swaggeringly. ]

[After the Ming army entered the city, their formation was forced to become a long column. If the front team was attacked, the rear team would be unable to provide support.]

[When the disorganized Ming army arrived at Datong Pavilion in the heavy rain, Konishi Yukinaga gave an order, and thousands of cannons fired at once! ]

[The first batch of Ming troops that entered the court were annihilated before they could even see the enemy's appearance, and Zu Chengxun was the only one who escaped.]

……

{How dare he put his face into the bushes?}
{The firearms cavalry led by Zu Chengxun was called Tiaodangqi, and was well-equipped and experienced in many battles.}
{In addition to carrying bows and arrows and broadswords, they were also equipped with a three-barreled gun that later generations talked about with great relish.}
{The three-barreled gun has an effective range of about 50 steps, or about 50 to 80 meters, which is very suitable for close combat on horseback. After all, the matchlock gun is difficult to use on horseback.}
{Since it can fire quickly and even three times in a row, it can effectively kill armored enemies.}
{The cavalry's tactic during combat was to fire three musket shots while charging, and when the three shots were fired, they would rush in front of the enemy, and the three-barreled musket would become a hammer for close combat.}
{It was such an elite force that was directly destroyed by Zu Chengxun.}
……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
Gao Yang was speechless for a moment as he looked at the Ming army, which was in panic and ultimately annihilated.

"Muddy and difficult to walk on is the biggest taboo for cavalry marches."

"It's no wonder that they can plunge into the encirclement when they don't even understand such a simple truth."

"It's a pity for these elite cavalrymen."

Li Zu'e didn't understand this, she just looked at Gao Yang tenderly and said softly:

"Does Japan really want to annex Ming with only 200,000 people?"

Gao Yang sneered.

"Let him dream big!"

"With 200,000 people, he can't even hold North Korea."

"It's such a small place, he will die if he delays."

Then he muttered:

"There are more than hundreds of thousands of barbarians fighting in the west."

"Two hundred thousand, what are you thinking..."

"That's a bold idea."

……

[The news of the defeat in the first battle reached the capital, and the court was shocked.]

【Wanli decided to take major action and appointed Song Yingchang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, as the general manager of Ji, Bao, Liaodong and other places to prepare for the Japanese invasion. Liu Huangshang, the deputy minister, and Yuan Huangzan, the chief official, were appointed to lead the army.】

[At the same time, he also appointed Li Rusong, the Ningxia general who was currently suppressing the rebellion in Ningxia, as the admiral of Ji, Liao, Baoding and Shandong military affairs, and ordered the expedition to the east as soon as possible.]

[Shen Weijing, a native of Jiaxing, was sent as an envoy to the Japanese army to demand that Japan withdraw its troops.]

[Japanese Konishi Yukinaga requested that the Taedong River be used as the boundary. The Ming Dynasty refused.]

[On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Yingchang recruited nearly 40,000 Ming troops, divided them into three armies, and swore an oath to cross the river to the east on the 25th.]

[It is worth mentioning that there are 3,000 Qi Family Army soldiers in this army. They are the Zhejiang soldiers that Qi Jiguang left in Jizhen. They are led by the former Qi Family Army generals Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi. ]

……

Song Zhenzong period
As the wine glass just touched his lips, Zhao Heng was stunned when he saw the three words "Qi Family Army".

He suddenly remembered something!

"Xiao'e, did Tianmu mention that the Qi family army's final fate seemed bad?"

Liu E frowned and thought for a while.

Not sure:

"It seems to be said that it has been abandoned."

The emperor and empress looked at each other. "Isn't it here?"

……

On the canopy.

It is backed by Mudan Peak to the north, Cangguang Mountain to the west, and Taedong River to the east.

A fortified city with eighteen large and small gates was located in the middle.

Outside the city, a large white flag stood tall.

There are seven words written in black.

"Those who surrender themselves will be spared death"

Under the big flag, the general in full armor looked at the shadowy figures on the city wall.

He waved his hand.

The flag officer beside him was waving flag signals.

Cannons were rolled out one after another.

Sparks ignite.

With a loud bang!
As the flames burst out.

The siege began.

……

[On the fifth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-first year of the Wanli reign (1593), the main force of the Ming army arrived at the gates of Pyongyang, and Li Rusong immediately began to deploy siege tactics.]

[The next day, the Ming army artillery first used the general cannon, which had the longest range and the most powerful firepower, to bombard the city.]

[The General Cannon was the largest caliber cannon among the native cannons of the Ming Dynasty. Its shells consisted of a large lead bullet weighing four or five pounds and hundreds of small lead bullets weighing four or five cents. All the shells added up to a total of about eight pounds.]

[The big shells hit the enemy camp, and the small shells flew everywhere.]

[It is as powerful as thunder and is unstoppable. It is said that "one shot will cause blood to flow through the road for three miles and the grass will wither for several years." ]

[The huge bullets instantly caused great shock and casualties to the Japanese army. ]

……

On the canopy.

After a series of fierce bombardments.

The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

The dusty and dwarf men in Pyongyang poked their heads out.

They saw the cannons being slowly pushed into the battle formation.

They chatted for a while, then raised their muskets and were ready to shoot.

The next moment, the Ming battle formation was activated again.

Dozens of chariots with paintings of scarlet beasts came into view.

The dense arrows on the chariot were flashing a faint light.

The fuse ignites.

The next moment, thousands of flames with thick smoke flew over.

"Bagaya road!"

……

[After several rounds of heavy artillery bombardment, before the Japanese army could catch their breath, the Ming army launched dozens of fire chariots. ]

[Each of these chariots was loaded with six rectangular wooden boxes, containing 160 dragon arrows or poisonous fire arrows.]

[When these rockets land in the city, they will not only set the houses on fire, but also emit poisonous smoke, which will make anyone who smells it fall to the ground.]

[The third round of attacks followed, with a large number of gunners holding tiger squat cannons. ]

[The Tiger Crouching Cannon is a powerful offensive weapon created by Qi Jiguang. ]

[The copper-cast barrel is more than two feet long, and the barrel is reinforced with seven iron hoops. There are two iron claws under the muzzle, so it can be fired at an elevated angle under the city wall. ]

[When in combat, numerous high-speed lead bullets and iron sand will be ejected from the muzzle. ]

[This unprecedented bombardment lasted for half a day, and the defenders on the city walls were either killed or injured.]

[After several rounds of artillery fire, the Ming army's large infantry force began to attack the north gate. ]

[When the Ming army entered the firing range, the Japanese army, which had been bullied for half a day, also launched a counterattack. ]

[The attacking Ming army was temporarily suppressed by the firepower and could not move. ]

[Just as the battle in the North City was in full swing, an army appeared outside the South City, flying the banner of the Korean Army.]

……

On the canopy.

Led by two generals.

Behind him were three thousand elite soldiers with long swords on their waists and long shields in their hands.

Everyone rushed straight to the weak point of the city gate!

……

[Faced with the fierce resistance of the Japanese army, Li Rusong did not attack recklessly, but used a trick to deceive the enemy. ]

[This Korean army is the Ming army in disguise, and is the real main force of the Ming army in attacking the city. ]

[Qi's army led by Luo Shangzhi and Zu Chengxun! ]
