Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Two: Snow Plains Strangulation
………… On the snow, the sound of artillery sounds made waves of roars, and several gaps were blown up in the distant city walls. The densely packed soldiers and horses wearing straw raincoats kept cheering in various languages. In front of them, the walls of Guanjie City were like white paper, and were blown out by countless cannons, and finally cracked and collapsed. Guanjie is an important town leading to Jilin City and a bannerman fortress in southern Liaoning. Here there are more than 300 flag soldiers and hundreds of herders and flag slaves hiding in the fort to resist stubbornly.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was covered with cowhide painted cotton armor, and only a pair of bloody pupils were left in the samurai mask. He held the samurai sword in his hands, and watched the increasingly timid flag soldiers on the city smile: "Come here."
"Hi." A warrior stood up and bowed to the head of the family.
"Go and ask Lord Chiho, when will the shelling be bombarded? If our samurai doesn't charge forward, the flower girl in the fortress will be killed." Tokugawa Tsunaki impatiently raised his samurai sword and slashed the void of the goose-feather snowflakes, very impatient.
"Hi." Musashi immediately left the samurai team and ran towards the Ming army artillery team.
The North Korean Protectorate was appointed by Yang Rang, the governor of the Beiyang Navy. Yang Rang led the main force of the navy to Jiangnan. This time the operation was divided into two teams. One team was dominated by Korean Yi soldiers and 30,000 attacked Ningguta, and the other team was dominated by Japanese samurai and 30,000 attacked Jilin. Each team was equipped with a thousand-house Ming army artillery team. On the surface, the commanders of the two teams were North Korean King Lee Hsien and Japan Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, but without the approval of the Ming army, they could not act without permission. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's Japanese army had captured five or six fortresses in succession, and now the Guanjie City was in front of them.
After a while, the cannon finally stopped. A cheerful cry came from the legion of Japanese samurai, ronin and storm immediately, indicating that it was time to share the fruits of victory.
"Kill." Tokugawa Tsunaki stood on the snow hill and pointed the samurai sword forward, roaring like a beast.
"Kill." The formation of the Japanese army suddenly dispersed and launched a charge towards Guanjie City like a swarm. The shouts of killing were very loud.
The Ming soldiers of the artillery team in the rear began to sit in the snow and put hay in their mouths. They watched the group of barbarians start cleaning. The Qianhu carried a knife and tested the remaining ammunition while looking at the Japanese soldiers who had rushed to the city and swarmed in along the gap in the collapsed city wall in front of them. After a few days of getting along, the Qianhu of civilized land saw through the group of barbarians. These people were even more barbaric than the Manchus. They usually nodded and bowed in front of them, and rushed forward as soon as they saw the blood, burned, killed, looted, and until the entire fortress was gone, they had to take away a few chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep to be satisfied.
Fire began to catch in the city, followed by close soldiers and golden iron clashes. Then there were waves of screams. In the end, only people were yelling and women. Of course, Japanese soldiers were laughing and scolding.
Qianhu took out his pocket watch in his arms. It was Shin Shiyi. There was at least one time when the Japanese soldiers finished their work. He had already discovered that his subordinates were staring straight at the broken city wall. He heard the woman screaming and looked envious. Qianhu coughed. He was a second-year student in the Royal Officer Academy graduation. This is not a good phenomenon. If this continues, the soldiers who have worked hard to train may be led to the destruction of the savages.
"What do you think?" Qianhu official military boots stomped on the snow and creaked. They threatened the Ming soldiers with poor eyes, as if they were to make a kick on someone's butt at any time: "We are the glorious Daming Navy Artillery Battalion. We must never learn from the barbarians. We can't even think about it. Anyone who violated military discipline is to slander His Majesty the Emperor. They all get up and start to fuck them now."
The artillery men stood up helplessly and lined up, muttering...
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Tokugawa Tsuyoshi was satisfied with his head. He tied his braids on his waist to show off his military merits. Then, Japanese soldiers came out in groups of three or three but still unsatisfied. Most of them were obviously not very satisfied. This was just a fortress. In addition, there were only more than a thousand Manchu soldiers. There were even fewer than two hundred. Most of them couldn't even queue up. The Japanese soldiers behind him began to lead the horses and came out with chickens. The Japanese soldiers at the end were responsible for setting fires. In one hour, this fortress with thousands of people turned into a deserted wreckage.
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi arrived at Qianhu, looked at the steaming Mingbing around him, and laughed haha. He patted Qianhu on the shoulder: "The Manchurian flower girl is so good, haha, she is wild, I like it very much, why don't you go?"
Qiango held back his disgust and watched the black Japanese soldiers have already left the burning fortress, saying: "
It's dark, and Namuwoji is ahead. It's the most nearby Jilin City. You must arrive before dawn tomorrow. Your Highness, gather your troops and hurry up."
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's eyes lit up: "After passing Namuwoji, you will arrive in Jilin City? Haha, let's hurry now."
The Japanese soldiers did not need mobilization, nor did they need too many commands. Tokugawa Tsunayoshi said, "There is a big city ahead, with women, cattle and sheep everywhere." He immediately cheered up. Guanjie Fort was too small, and it was not enough to even plug the Japanese soldiers' teeth. Many people couldn't even grab the spoils.

What I wanted to rebel with Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was that the progress of the Korean Yi soldiers led by Li Xian was not great. Tens of thousands of Koreans had not marched on this snowy field for two days. After capturing a fortress, they lost most of their morale, and even the officers beat and beat them was useless. Ningguta is different from Jilin. The population here is more sparse than Jilin. Even walking a hundred miles on the snowy field, sometimes you don’t want to see an enemy or a cow or sheep. Looking around, only the vast snowy field extends in all directions. Without a compass, you can’t even tell the difference between the south, south, west and north, because everything is the same here, and all the scenery is no different. Although the Koreans grew up in the north and have a strong cold territory, they have lost patience in the face of such land, so Li Xian is unwilling to stay here, planning to discuss retreat with the Ming army that accompanied the army.
"Retreat? Absolutely not possible. My mission is to carry out the orders of the General Staff. Your Highness, if you want to retreat, I will ask for an order to investigate you." Qianhu almost jumped up and waved his fists excitedly. He was not afraid of facing this puppet king.
Li Xian shut his mouth helplessly and was not angry at the rude words of this Qianhu. This is the fate of the Koreans. When the Manchus ruled North Korea, a Niulu could scold the King of Korea carelessly, which was no different from now.
"There are cavalry, there are cavalry..." Someone was yelling.
As the strong wind mixed with snowflakes passed, a clattering sound sounded in the air. On the white snow field, a rapidly moving cavalry moved towards the wind, snow, wind and lightning.
The Korean Yi soldiers began to panic, and the shadow of the Manchu and Mongolian Iron Cavalry coiled in their hearts again, and the Ming army yelled: "Car array."
Li Xian reacted and made a loud order, finally suppressing the situation. Dozens of messengers ordered the battalion commanders one after another. Fortunately, the Koreans finally trained a little discipline under the supervision of the Ming army. After a while, spikes hung in front of the array.
On the vast snowy field, muskets cannot play their advantages due to the influence of moisture and cold weather. The only way is to use the oldest chariot array to meet the enemy. When rows of chariots connected with each other crossed the Korean soldiers, they truly made the Korean Yi soldiers feel safe, but their eyes still showed fear. This nation that has been invaded by Mongolia, Japan, Han and Manchus for thousands of years really does not have the courage to fight against its enemies. This may be the first time that the Koreans have fought on other people's territory.
"I really can't figure out how the Koreans today have become like this. Where does the peninsula country that has been defeated for thousands of years and has been known as a vassal state of a ten thousand years come from?"
When the cavalry got closer, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief. There were not many cavalry in Manchuria, only three thousand people.
Lee Hsien yelled with great power: "I will win."
"It will definitely win." The North Koreans felt the huge difference between the other party and themselves, and they raised their guns and spears.
At this time, the roar of the Ming army artillery team in the rear sounded, and an unstoppable encounter officially broke out.
The Manchurian cavalry in the cannon rain was even more anxious. The leader of the leader, Gao danced his sabre and shouted in the wind and snow. One by one, the cavalry charged towards the chariot formation without any intention. Someone was hit by the iron ball fired from the cannon, and it was instantly smashed into meat mud. Inertia still made him rush forward several feet away. Then the man fell to the ground with his horse overturned, and blood splashed on the snow field.
Boom... The cavalry rushed into the chariot without hesitation. In an instant, another wave of people rolled over, but more Manchu soldiers jumped off the horse and climbed onto the chariot at this moment. The machete in their hands slashed at the stunned Korean soldiers without hesitation. This was a crazy war, and the Koreans obviously did not realize this. Groups of Korean soldiers actually retreated in front of several Manchu soldiers who rushed through the chariot formation, holding spears in their hands and did not dare to stab them out.
