Nurhaci felt that this would not work, so he specially arranged for archers holding crossbows to protect the soldiers who destroyed traps and roadblocks anytime and anywhere.

When the North Korean guerrillas came to harass each other again, the losses were relatively serious. After one or two times, fewer people came. In one morning, Nurhaci highlighted the trap area and approached Kaicheng. The tall Kaicheng wall could be seen from a distance.

In order to conquer Kaicheng, Nurhaci and Li Rusong used a trick to break in. After a flesh-and-blood street battle, they defeated the Japanese pirates and successfully occupied Kaicheng. Nurhaci wanted to use the same trick again, but when he looked at Kaicheng, he knew that this would not work.

The trick of using the heads of North Korean reinforcements to scare the Pyongyang city gate is probably not good. This time, it is obvious that the other party is ready for battle. From the previous guerrillas, it can be seen that they were not scared, but were determined to defend Kaicheng and dare to go out to fight.

This is not good. The attack is not good and will definitely be subject to strong resistance. Now there are Qin army pursuers behind him, so they cannot stay for a long time and must leave as soon as possible.

Although he knew that there must be the water he needed in the city, it doesn’t matter. As long as he breaks through the Kaicheng area and arrives at the Linjin River next to Kaicheng, he will not be afraid. With such a large amount of water in the Linjin River, how much poison can it work?

As soon as he thought of this, Nurhaci decided to give up attacking Kaicheng and went directly to Linjin River to have a full meal. Then the entire army crossed the Linjin River and ran directly towards Seoul.

Moreover, Nurhaci also noticed that the initial dividend of the invasion had disappeared, and some North Koreans had already reacted and prepared to resist bravely. At this time, if the North Koreans understood their own reality and lost their fear, the situation would become very bad.

Although he also gave weapons to women and children, their women and children were strong enough, they were still much worse than professional army. Facing the North Korean army head-on, they might be able to defeat them, but after a few battles, he was powerless.

After all, one person dies less.

But then I thought about it, isn’t it the last carnival that I did this? When I arrived at the last coast, what way out would I have?

As soon as he thought of this, Nurhaci couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

But at the moment, we cannot show a depressed expression, and we must not let the tribes know their depressedness, but let them think that everyone is rushing to survive and hope, rather than a path to death.

Fei Yingdong is probably the only one who knows his true purpose.

Nurhaci thought so.

So he decided to lead his troops around Kaicheng and arrive directly on the Linjin River to prepare to cross the river through the floating bridge.

In the city, Liu Chenglong had already made all preparations and was ready to fight the invading enemy bloody battles anytime and anywhere until the last soldier. With such a big man leading everyone to defend the city, the soldiers suddenly felt that they had nothing to be afraid of, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they decided to fight the invading barbarians to the death.

Everyone made a lot of preparations, brought the rage to the top of the city, set up artillery, bows, crossbows, spears, wooden, stones, etc., all were prepared at the top of the city. The people in the city even contributed a lot of oil to heat up the barbarians who were climbing the city.

The news of the attack of barbarians came, and everyone was ready to fight. Liu Chenglong personally climbed the city to prepare to face the enemy, but after observing for a long time, he could not find any traces of the enemy's attack. Liu Chenglong felt strange and asked the soldiers who sent out guerrillas.

"Didn't you see the barbarians fall into my trap with your own eyes?"

"Yes, it's true."

"Where is the barbarian?"

Liu Chenglong pointed out outside the city.

Wherever you can see, there are no signs of barbarians attacking you.

The soldiers were also very strange, but insisted that they saw a large army of barbarians when they went out to guerrillas. The number of people was large, and they were definitely coming to Kaicheng. When Liu Chenglong was confused, the guard of the East Gate came to report to find the enemy's traces.

Liu Chenglong was shocked, would the barbarians want to attack from the east gate instead of the north gate?

So he immediately went to the east gate. After arriving at the east gate wall, the guard of the east gate reported that he found that the barbarians were moving towards the south of the city, and they were a distance from the city, and there seemed to be no intention to attack the city.

When Liu Chenglong saw that there was a lot of smoke and dust not far from the gate of Dongcheng City. It was obvious that it could not be caused by one or two small troops. So what happened?

Without knowing what was happening outside the city, Liu Chenglong did not dare to open the city gate to investigate the situation. He could only send people to continue staring at the city. He went to Nancheng and Xicheng again, and found no signs of barbarians coming here, so the idea of ​​siege the city was self-defeating.

The barbarians came but did not attack the city. This situation made Liu Chenglong very puzzled.

He could only order the entire army to be on guard and be ready to shell the attacking barbarians at any time.

The artillery of North Korea was basically the standard artillery of the Ming army. It was introduced by Xiao Ruxun during the Battle of Korea. It eliminated the firearms of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, which were also used in the North Korean army, and replaced them with bird guns and franchised guns. However, the bird guns were not practiced for a long time, and only Franchised guns were still quite proficient.

After all, there were people in the Korean army who followed Xiao Ruxun to attack. They witnessed with their own eyes how Xiao Ruxun used his advantage in artillery to defeat the Japanese pirates step by step. They highly praised artillery. North Korea itself imitated the Franchis guns from many ways. Dozens of Franchis guns on the Kacheng city wall were specially prepared for Jianzhou soldiers.

They didn't come in the end.

Kaesong is the last barrier to protect Seoul. Behind Kaesong is the Linjin River, and crossing the Linjin River is the Seoul, which is flat.

At that time, the Japanese pirates blocked the Ming army in Kaicheng, Linjinjiang and Bidiguan, and were defeated in three places. They were defeated by Xiao Ruxun and destroyed the main force. They lost their courage and gave up Seoul and retreated to Busan.

Liu Chenglong wanted to set up defenses in Linjin River, but firstly, the troops were insufficient, and secondly, it would be a pity to not use such a good city wall. Thirdly, Li Bing had already escaped, and Seoul was already an empty city, and there was no more things worthy of protection.

That's why he decided to fight the Jianzhou army in Kaicheng, but the barbarians did not come.

When it was sunset, the barbarians did not come. The soldiers on the city were very strange, and Liu Chenglong also frowned.

Finally, he decided to put down a few agile soldiers with a rope to investigate the situation, and then came back to inform Liu Chenglong. Then Liu Chenglong ordered the people in the city to make a fire and let the soldiers have supper.

After nightfall, the barbarians still did not come, but the scouts came back, and their reports surprised Liu Chenglong.

"The barbarians are building a floating bridge, seemingly planning to cross the river!"

Liu Chenglong was even more surprised when he heard such a report.

Don't they attack and open the city?

Or is this a strategy?

If you bypass Kaicheng and don’t attack and build a floating bridge, are you not planning to attack Kaicheng, or do you want to lure Kaicheng troops out of the city and then use the advantages of cavalry to eliminate Kaicheng defenders?

The barbarians are very cunning, which is certain, otherwise Pyongyang would not have fallen, and Guo Zaiyou would not have died.

Moreover, Liu Chenglong also understood that if the barbarians did not fight with Kaicheng and directly crossed the river, they would be able to directly take down Seoul.

Although Seoul has already strengthened its walls and cleared its territory, there are only 500 defenders, and they can be captured as long as they attack.
