When Lu Xuan's army moved, the whole Ming Dynasty shivered. Everyone was waiting for him to take action, just like the boot hanging above his head. Li Rubai felt even more like he was finally here. He just waited and found that Lu Xuan's target was not him at all.

It was not until Lu Xuan assembled 20,000 troops and marched eastward that everyone discovered that his target was not Liaodong at all, or even Jiannu, but North Korea.

As for why he fought North Korea, it was very simple. Four years ago, in the second battle with Jiannu, there were a large number of North Korean soldiers in the other party's team. Lu Xuan also had an imperial edict in his hand to attack the surrounding ministers who were dissatisfied with Wang Hua. The troops were justified.

Many court officials could only turn their attention to Zhu Changluo. The basic meaning is very simple. Did you really give the imperial edict?

Zhu Changluo also looked awkward. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a good idea. Anyway, when Lu Xuan left, he asked him for a lot of imperial edicts and demanded all kinds of autonomy. He felt that this hunter Wugen Wuping had to give him more autonomy, so he gave it to him. The imperial edict never said that he could attack North Korea, but after thinking about it carefully, many words on the imperial edict, if you extend it, it seems that you can really make such a meaning.

The North Korean side was naturally frightened. At the beginning, they felt that the Ming Dynasty was weak and turned to show kindness to the Qing Dynasty. However, they did not expect that the Qing Dynasty was useless and lost two leaders in two consecutive battles. They were pressed into that bitter and cold place and could not make any progress. North Korea was actually a little cowardly. In the past two years, they have paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty year after year. They want to regain their impression.

But unexpectedly, they felt that they had almost done the job. When they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Xuan suddenly came to the door. Before North Korea could react, the border troops could only fight in a hurry.

However, Lu Xuan had no intention of directly attacking the city. Two hundred brand new red artillery bombed the city wall for a whole day, blowing one wall of the entire city to pieces. The Korean defenders wanted to fight back, but the artillery range was not enough, and they could not hit Lu Xuan's position on the city wall...

What made the defenders most painful was that the city walls collapsed, and the Ming army still did not attack. They just set up camp outside the city and waited quietly.

This invisible pressure made the soldiers in the city almost crazy. The generals guarding the city were unwilling to wait for death, and the Shun Army attacked, trying to save some face. However, as soon as they left the city gate, they were educated by thousands of muskets. Under Lu Xuan's high-pressure policy and a heavy reward, the firearm craftsmen made twelve points of effort and finally produced muskets that barely satisfy Lu Xuan.

This is the first actual combat. In these firearm battalions, some researchers even followed. They recorded various situations of the musket at any time and collected data so that they could go back and improve. The entire battle was essentially Lu Xuan's test of the brand new firearm. It was just a test using a North Korean city.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the attacking North Korean army collapsed across the board, and the remaining soldiers rolled and crawled back to the city. Although the city now has no walls.

Lu Xuan still did not attack, but sent troops to block the city. Then he waited quietly. Just as the next day, the remaining defenders in the city came out in groups to surrender. He even held the heads of the generals who wanted to defend the city. Last night, he fought in the city all night, and all the soldiers who wanted to continue to resist were killed by the surrender faction.

They confiscated all the weapons and piled them together. Everyone came out to surrender empty-handedly. Seeing this, Lu Xuan finally spoke.

"Pick out the young and strong man and get it to the logistics for help. Gather the property in the city and put it here first, and bring it with us when we come back."

"I understand." Lu Wenzhao immediately arranged a guard of 500 people to guard their property. The rest continued to advance directly with the army.

Halfway through, they encountered an order from the North Korean royal family, which ordered the generals on the border to resist...

Lu Xuan generally would not do such a thing as a massacre. Every time he went to a place, he just plundered property, but he would not easily kill civilians. However, he implemented a system of joint seats against those resisting soldiers. Whenever he arrived at a city, he would first use artillery to blast the defenders and defeat the confidence of the defenders. Then he siege the city and wait for the next day to enter the city. At this time, as long as a soldier dared to resist and dared to resist, he would randomly draw a hundred people from the army to kill them. Then he threw the person who resisted to his colleagues. The angry soldiers would punish these people for Lu Xuan.

Seoul was later called Seoul. Seoul was originally called Nanjing, but later changed its name to Seoul. In fact, the word Seoul was not translated in Chinese at the beginning. So at that time, China was still called Seoul. But the South Korean government couldn't bear it (laughs), so it personally gave a Chinese definition, called Seoul.

However, in Lu Xuan's opinion, Seoul is much more comfortable than Seoul. So it is better to call Seoul.

In fact, when he was twenty miles away from Seoul, Li Nai (North Korea Inzu) had already been waiting there with all the civil and military officials. If Lu Xuan's army killed people and set fire to the fire, Li Nai would definitely hide in the city without saying a word. However, this Ming army just plundered some finances and basically did not hurt civilians. This gave Li Nai some courage. He felt that this matter should be discussed. It was probably because the Great Heavenly Dynasty could not stand its own swaying left and right and wanted to hit it.

Not only civil and military officials, he even prepared a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and livestock, hoping to directly dismiss the general of the Celestial Dynasty.

However, Lu Xuan was too lazy to even come out, so he directly asked the army to set up a formation and bombarded Seoul. Lu Xuan, who had been preparing for war for five years, had the biggest advantage at present, is that there were sufficient firearms. Moreover, this battle was essentially to test the limit of weapons and consume the old-fashioned firearms that were ready to be replaced. Therefore, no matter who came, it was useless. Meeting was like bombing...

Some passionate Korean generals could not bear this humiliation and rose up in anger, wanting to fight Lu Xuan to the death. However, fighting to the death requires being able to meet the other party. Their cavalry was smashed by the bombardment under the new type of tiger squat cannon shots. They rushed to the front of the Ming army and were beaten into a pile of meat sauce.

Their firearms have a range far less than those of the Ming army. If you can't hit others, they can fight you. How to fight this battle? Several soldiers finally successfully caused some damage to Lu Xuan's army with heavy crossbows. Lu Xuan was not angry, but just asked the artillery battalion to open fire again and fired three rounds at Seoul.

Li Nei almost went crazy on the spot and directly ordered all the resisting soldiers to be captured and threw them to Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan waved his hand to signal Zhao Jingzhong to drag those people to the North Korean civil and military officials and shoot them in public.

Then he walked out of the military camp and stood in front of Li Nei.

This was the first time Li Ju met the legendary general of Liaoyang. His first appearance was to kill the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty. He captured the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty for the second time. In the following years, although he was busy farming, Li Ju still felt cold all over his body when he stood in front of him. This was a real emperor killer in front of him.

"Li Gui from the country has seen the envoy of the Celestial Empire." Li Gui didn't dare to raise his head and knelt down with his court officials, no matter how unruly it was. He always felt that if he didn't do anything well, the general would immediately order to continue firing fires in the capital. That was the old nest, and it was blown up, what should he do, as the emperor! So, no matter what, it is always right to kneel down first.

Lu Xuan squatted on the ground, gently raised his head, and then said.

"Do you know why hunters like to carry hounds? Because dogs... are generally loyal enough."

Li Juan was shocked all over and shouted quickly.
