Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1100

"Boy, you actually took the lead. It's okay, I will ask the uncle for credit later!"

Kuno Shigekatsu's head had already been chopped off, and a cavalryman beside Zu Chengxun ignored the bloody head and directly tied it to the side of the saddle.

Zu Chengxun was also elated. He won the first battle and beheaded the enemy general. This merit is not small, and it can offset many of the previous crimes.

Hundreds of them chased after them, and while they were talking, they heard the roar of artillery from the direction of the battlefield just now, and the shouts of killing from a large group of people, Zu Chengxun and his group were wondering, but a messenger came quickly Here, call out:
"My lord Zu, the commander-in-chief ordered you to attack Ximen immediately, the army has already begun to attack!"

The so-called chief soldier refers to Li Rusong, and the second chief soldier is naturally Li Rubai. These troops are originally the private soldiers of the Li family, so this not very formal name is also appropriate.

Zu Chengxun didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly shook the reins, and led the team to the west gate where the battle had just started. When he got to the west gate, he found that the west gate was already boiling.

Not only the thousands of infantry led just now, but Li Rusong obviously drove the main group forward, and the cannons were also pushed up. If the west gate of Pyongyang City is not blocked by debris, then the gate is only thick wood inlaid with iron The door was just the door, and the four cannons were aimed at the bombardment. After the second shot, the door was already cracked a few times.

Both the three-pound cannon and the six-pound cannon were pushed to the front and bombarded the city walls on both sides. The Japanese pirates could no longer organize a defensive situation in this direction.

The city gate finally couldn't stand the beating of the shells, and there was a violent blocking sound from inside. The entire gate cracked and opened inward. Perhaps the latch inside was broken. When the gate opened, there were corpses scattered around the gate. Holes were smashed out, and sawdust splashed everywhere in the door openings. Many people who tried to block the doors died in it.

The Ming army cared so much, the generals shouted repeatedly, and drove the soldiers forward. In this situation, they didn't care about any family soldiers and private soldiers. Those with armor rushed forward and beheaded the enemy. It's a credit, and it's a great credit to be in the city first, rushing in first to ask for a jackpot.

It is impossible for the soldiers and horses of the Japanese pirates to let the Ming army rush in like this. You can see the ashigaru inside rushed out under the leadership of the samurai. The suspension bridge in front of the west gate has not been pulled up, and the soldiers of the Ming army have already filled up the moat of the moat After waiting for a long time, he also rushed over.

Cavalry vs. infantry, Japanese pirates may still be unconvinced. Now that the two sides are fighting for control of the city gate, it is infantry vs. infantry.

Infantry faced each other hastily. The battlefield in front of and behind the city gate was very narrow, and the iron artillery could no longer be used, but there were still people in the Ming army who could shoot bows and arrows.

After all, it is shot from the head, and one person is counted as one person. The defense of Japanese pirate ashigaru is pitifully low, and there is no way to resist such bows and arrows. Those warriors are better wearing bamboo armor and leather armor. Knife and spear, combat skills are much stronger than those of the ashigaru.

But the martial arts skills that can be boasted in front of the ashigaru are nothing in front of the soldiers of the Li family. The Li family's armor and arms dealers may have even greater advantages.

The two sides collided, and after only a slight pause, the Ming army began to advance inward. The Japanese pirates' rear team was constantly shot and killed by bows and arrows. The rear team became weaker and could not give enough support to the front team. The front team was at a disadvantage. Pushed back step by step.

Kuno Shigekatsu's rout outside was seen by everyone in the city, and the momentum when the cannons bombarded the city walls and gates was also seen by everyone, and morale had dropped to the extreme.

The soldiers and horses of the Japanese pirates thought they were battle-hardened, and they were extremely arrogant, especially the thousands of cavalry who ambushed Zu Chengxun in the city of Pyongyang. After the victory, they felt extremely arrogant. The army was wiped out, no one fled back, and not many people knew about the battle, but what they saw and experienced just now completely broke the confidence of the Japanese soldiers and horses. It turned out that the Ming army was so strong.

The sky-shattering cannon made the Japanese pirates even more terrified. They lost their morale and were terrified again. It is reasonable that the war situation cannot be maintained.

Without much effort, the west gate has already been captured by the Ming army. For the Japanese pirates in Pyongyang City, there is another lucky thing, that is, the city is imitated by the city regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Barely defending, but everyone knows that this will not last long. If the opponent's cannon pushes in, it will definitely not be able to hold on.

*****************
"Knocking on the city gates one by one, this time is not to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but to seize the city. When the gates are almost opened, they will not be able to hold on and escape first."

Li Rusong said solemnly to Li Rubai who was beside him, Li Rubai nodded heavily, and turned around to give orders, although Li Rubai was far inferior to Li Rusong, but after all he was born as a general and had been in the position of chief soldier for so long, he still understood these routines.

After giving these orders, Li Rusong turned to look at Zu Chengxun when he watched the cavalry and infantry of the Li family enter the battlefield. Shi's face was smoky, but it was extremely excited, and the guards beside him were also very happy as they held the head of Shigekatsu Kuno.

Li Rusong nodded, looked at the head with a smile on his face, and jokingly said:
"Why is this face twisted into a ball, as if poisoned."

"Your Excellency really has good eyesight. The kid's knife was smeared with medicine, which is the kind used to shoot tigers, so that's why it looks like this."

"It's a bit clever. After this incident, you all go to the Xuanfu with me. Take your time, and you will have the same glory and wealth as here!"

Hearing Li Rusong's words, Zu Chengxun quickly knelt down and kowtowed. He knew that his family would finally be rewarded by fighting desperately. He might not be able to stay in Liaoning in the future, but he could go to the Xuanfu to seek a family background. There are really too few people, and Zu Chengxun has been following him for many years.

Li Rusong smiled and asked Zu Chengxun to kowtow a few times, and then said in a deep voice:

"Lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to Li Ning's side, and set up an ambush on the road in the direction of the east gate together. Our army can break into the city today. The entanglement in the city will be more troublesome, but tomorrow or the day after that, we can force the Japanese pirates to abandon the city and save you at that time." Time to perform meritorious service!"

The cavalry ambushed the enemy group. This was indeed a good opportunity to make meritorious service. Zu Chengxun kowtowed excitedly and hurried to go.

*****************
Originally thought that the army was approaching the city, the bombardment was just a test, and the siege would start the next day, but the members of the First Japanese Bandit Corps did not expect the Ming army to move so swiftly. Without the slightest pause, the army immediately advanced to the city gate and broke through the first barrier of the city defense.

Before seeing the fighting power of this Ming army, the Japanese soldiers were quite confident, even arrogant. They didn't expect that they would rely on the defense of the city, so naturally they would not block the city gate and the city gate. Instead, he wanted to attack from the city gate, so all roads were still smooth.

The arrogance at the beginning was too late to remedy after realizing something was wrong. North Korea’s city gates can be made of thick wood and iron, but in fact they are not too thick gates. The Ming army led by Li Rusong this time carried enough The artillery gathered the artillery and knocked on the city gate, and then infantry and cavalry poured in.

The Wengcheng behind the city gate is not very useful. Japanese pirates’ bows and iron cannons cannot stop the artillery from bombarding the inside of the Wengcheng. Moreover, in terms of the internal regulations of Pyongyang City, the construction of many places cannot be said to be qualified. Under the roar of thunder, the city walls collapsed everywhere.

When it was dark, the battle had already developed into the city. After all, the Japanese pirates had an army of [-] people in the city, and they had been operating here for about half a year. When it was dark, the situation was finally at a stalemate. In the narrow streets and alleys where the method was used, the fighting with cold weapons was extremely brutal, but at least this kind of fighting was not a one-sided attack, and the Ming army stopped it.

It was getting dark, and there were too many uncertainties and dangers in the night battle. Li Rusong sent troops this time to ensure safety. He immediately ordered to stop the attack and shrink a certain area to set up fortifications. In such a situation, as long as the next day God, it is very sure that the Japanese pirates will be expelled from Pyongyang.

The Japanese pirates really couldn't hold on any longer, and the Ming army entered a rest period. Although the Ming army had already camped in the city and set up fortifications, the Japanese pirate army did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack. Except for small-scale battles in some places in the city, most of them The place has actually quieted down.

The two sides fought desperately, and at night, there were several streets in the city, running across the safe area of ​​the city.

*****************
"My lord, let's organize a sword-drawing team to attack the Ming army at night, or tomorrow's situation will be even more embarrassing!"

The original Fengyue place in the north of Pyongyang City has now become the core of the First Japanese Bandit Corps. The original confidence was full until the current situation collapsed. It no longer exists, and everyone is talking there to give advice.

"Organize the sword-drawing team, which is the most loyal and elite soldiers in each department. If they fail, I am afraid that many ashigaru will flee immediately. We have seen the battles during the day. What is the use of the sword-drawing team to attack at night? Are people good at fighting at night?"

President Xiaoxi rejected the proposal with a black face, and someone below said loudly:
"Someone reported just now that the Ming army is already transporting cannons into the city, if tomorrow, in this deadly city"

"All armies prepare tonight and break through tomorrow!!"
