360 Worry

This Jianlu army, who had left the city, began to run wildly after leaving the city. It had no formation, but just pursued a speed. It screamed and was full of momentum.

The one running in the front was the sword and shield soldiers in Jianlu. While running, they also knocked on the shield with their swords. If this momentum was met with the new recruits, they would be frightened by them.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers was the archer in Jianlu. He held a bow in one hand and had an arrow in the other hand, so he was about to get close to him. He used the rain of arrows to attack the Ming army in front of him to cover the charge of his accomplices.

Even on both sides of this Jianlu army, there were three hundred cavalry, covering the flanks of the infantry, and they also quickly approached the Ming army, creating enough pressure on the Ming army.

Faced with Jianlu's rapid advance, if the Ming army had not prepared in advance, there would definitely be panic. We could only dispatch troops and generals while sending troops to intercept Jianlu approaching.

However, because Emperor Chongzhen's insight into the initiative, the Ming army had actually secretly completed the arrangement.

In the side van facing Jianlu, the red cannons that had been prepared had suddenly roared.

"Boom boom boom..."

Iron bombs were smashed out at a speed that was hard to see from the naked eye. On the way to Jianlu's charge, several bloody ditches suddenly appeared in the crowd of people running. Just like a piece of cloth, suddenly a few lines were cut open.

Although the Jianlu was killed and injured, the plows of these blood ditches made the running Jianlu stunned.

It was also because the Jianlu ahead was an elite force and knew that the charge could not be stopped. Therefore, although they were afraid that the iron bullet would fall on them, they still charged without hesitation.

However, behind the 1,000 Jianlu army, many people of the Liaodong ethnic groups stopped in fear. Looking at the companions who were hit by iron bullets, they became fragmented in the blink of an eye and were shocked.

Before the smoke from the fire of the Red Barbarian cannon had dissipated, the Jianlu Pioneer who was charging was surprised to find that the arrows broke through the smoke and blocked the sky within their sight, falling towards them like rain. So while continuing to charge, they tried to shrink their bodies and tried to use their shields to block the rain of arrows.

"Ding Ding Ding..." The sound of arrows falling to the ground kept ringing like big beads falling from jade plates.

Jianlu, who was more lucky, blocked the arrows with his shield, but there were also many unlucky people who were nailed to their bodies by the missing arrows, either nailed into the flesh or hung on their armor.

Seeing the Ming army's offensive, many people subconsciously stopped their steps by the army of various ethnic groups in Liaodong. They didn't want to rush forward and use their flesh and blood to welcome the Ming army's rain of arrows.

Before those Jianlu who were not caught in the arrow had time to be glad, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from their ears, and the sound was slowly accelerating. In the midst of their busy schedule, Jianlu turned his head and looked at it, and he was immediately scared.

I saw a heavy Ming cavalry on both sides of the Jianlu army. Under the cover of the light cavalry, it penetrated into the disconnection of the Jianlu army.

On the top of the city, Dorgon was watching the battle. He was still thinking that the Ming army was attacked by the army he sent, and he didn't know where the flaws would appear. This must be discovered as soon as possible, so he sent subsequent troops to seize the fighter plane and teach the Ming army a lesson.

However, not to mention finding any flaws, the army was hit by the Ming army when they were sent out. The artillery, bows and arrows were even dispatched to heavy cavalry. The battle only showed a sign. Dorgon's rich experience told him that it would be bad!

Therefore, he ordered without hesitation to withdraw troops. The purpose of sending troops to fight had been achieved, that is, the Ming army outside the city had a strict defense, rapid response, and very difficult to deal with.

However, even if Dorgon called out the Jin Dynasty in time to withdraw his troops, under the attack of the heavy cavalry of the Ming army's cavalry camp, at least 500 elite Jianlu were cut off from their retreat and could not retreat to the city.

These Jianlu were also fierce enough. Seeing this, they immediately began to shrink the formation, trying to break out a bloody path and escape back to the city.

However, in this era, it is no longer a personal courage to decide everything on the battlefield. The flesh and blood body is the flesh and blood body. In the face of gunpowder weapons, everything is a trash.

Dorgon on the top of the city closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to see the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty fall under the attack of firearms.

This time, he had to admit that the army led by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was indeed considered elite. At least the reaction speed was very fast.

Thinking of this, Dorgon was a little worried. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled. When the Ming army came up, it was put on an stance to surround Tashan. Are they not afraid that the Qing army came to reinforce after hearing the news. In this way, attacking inside and outside, it is a question whether the Ming emperor can go back!

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was necessary for Huang Taiji to arrange for him to negotiate with Ming Kingdom about the matter of King De to paralyze Ming Kingdom. But why was the negotiations in progress? The Emperor of Ming led his troops to Liaodong in person? He could not know that Liaodong was actually empty, right? Or was it because a blind cat met a dead mouse?

Others may not know, but Dorgon himself knew that in the short term, he would not have large-scale reinforcements unless he could persevere until Huang Taiji led his army to triumph.

Thinking of this, the situation in front of you is very difficult.

At this time, Dorgon suddenly regretted it.

Since Tashan was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, it has not repaired the damaged city walls well. Before that, the Qing Dynasty thought there was no need for this. Because they gave Ming Juntian the courage, they did not dare to come out of the turtle shell.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army actually came to attack Tashan, and the Ming emperor personally led his troops to attack Tashan.

Can Tashan still be defended?

While Dorgon was worried about the busy Ming army outside the city, Lu Xiangsheng was also worried about the North Korean Pi Island.

The Ming army gathered on each island, with a total of only 7,000 people, which was the largest force he could gather. However, in the Jianlu Dynasty, there were 30,000 troops. If he wanted to rescue North Korea head-on and directly faced the Jianlu army, the Ming army would definitely have no chance of winning.

Faced with Kim Sang-heng's repeated begging, Lu Xiangsheng had no choice. North Korea must be saved and must not sit idly by and watch North Korea be destroyed by Jianlu.

However, the situation in North Korea is not so bad that it cannot be rescued.

This time, Jianlu did not go straight to Seoul, but burned, killed and robbed North Korea, robbed countless supplies.

Jianlu's troops were more than 200 miles away from Seoul, and the main force continued to attack and advance towards Seoul. In the rear, North Korean general Lin Qingye still led the army to guard Pyongyang and not be captured by Jianlu. Jianlu outside the city was only tens of thousands of troops.

Hearing the general battle situation, Lu Xiangsheng made a decision to attack the enemy in Pyongyang, cut off the Jianlu's retreat, and force the Jianlu main force to give up attacking Seoul.

"Governor General, what should I do if Seoul is done? If the main force of Jianlu abandons the retreat and ignores the retreat, the king will be in danger!" Jin Shangxian was not satisfied with this and immediately asked for advice.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said with a serious expression: "It should have been expected for the invasion of Jianlu. North Korea should be well prepared for war. Seoul is one of the few strong cities in North Korea, and Jianlu is not good at attacking the city. Will it not be able to defend it? If the city is defending alone, the city cannot be defended. Now that I am the official who is outside to support him, Seoul will definitely be worry-free. When I defeat the Jianlu in Pyongyang, and join your North Korean troops, the Jianlu who attacks Seoul will undoubtedly retreat!"

He was not influenced by Kim Sang-heng. He had already explained that he had the best plan to rescue him. After hearing this, Kim Sang-heng had no choice but to send someone back quickly to report the news to the king, and cooperated with Lu Xiangsheng to launch rescue in Pyongyang first.

The land of North Korea was already in chaos. Jianlu plundered everywhere, and almost everywhere was filled with Jianlu. Traces of burning, killing, and robbery were seen everywhere, and broken walls and corpses were everywhere. It was not too common.

As the most famous city in northern North Korea, Pyongyang fled to Pyongyang as soon as the Jianlu invaded, and all the people around him fled to Pyongyang. All the people around him also rushed into Pyongyang for refuge.

Lin Qingye immediately organized manpower to start defending. After an attempt to attack North Korea, the Jianlu army, who invaded North Korea, only tried to attack without success, was sent out 10,000 troops to siege outside the city, and the other troops crossed Pyongyang and continued to move south.

At this time, Lin Qingye stood on the top of the city with a sad face, looking out at the distance of Jianlu camp.

He was very worried and didn't know whether Seoul could be defended. Lu Xiangsheng may not know that as a famous general in North Korea, he was naturally more familiar with the domestic situation. Although he was prepared for combat, he did not have much confidence in Seoul's defense. Now he can only pray in his heart that Seoul can be defended for a longer time.

In fact, the situation in Pyongyang is not very good. As the main general of Pyongyang, he is of course the most clear-cut situation in the city.

With the troops in his hands, it would be impossible to leave the city and repel the Jianlu army outside the city without thinking. If it were just defense, there was one thing that worried him the most, that was that there were too many people entering the city and the food and supplies in the city could not last long.

In short, North Korea's own strength alone is simply unable to deal with the Jianlu offensive.

For this reason, he stood at the top of the city every day, and his habitual action was to look into the Datong River from afar. He hoped to see that the Ming army's navy would appear one day.

The Jianlu outside the city was led by Yue Tuo. He did not focus on the city of Pyongyang. In fact, he was just stationed outside the city to watch Pyongyang. At least half of the troops had been sent out by him to continue to plunder the surrounding areas. Every day, Jianlu went in and out of the military camp, so don't be too busy.

On this day, Yue Tuo was verifying the looted materials. Suddenly, a fast horse sailed into the camp and came to report to him: "Bell, the Ming Navy has entered the Datong River, and there are at least one hundred warships of all sizes and sizes."

Of course, Jianlu would not ignore the Ming Navy. There were patrols at the entrance of the Datong River. Therefore, they could know the movements of the Ming Navy at the first time.

When Yue Tuo heard the sound, he immediately put down everything in his hand and said happily: "I didn't expect that he was indeed fed by the emperor. If you leave Pyongyang without fighting, you can lure the Ming army ashore."

So, while ordering the horses to explore the army, he sent people to report to Liaodong.

However, on the surface, there was no special response to Jianlu camp.

When the Ming Navy appeared on the Pyongyang River, Jianlu seemed to come back to his senses and immediately blew the sound of a whimpering horn and began to prepare for the battle.

On the top of Pyongyang, the Korean soldiers looked at countless Ming warships, and were cheering and thundering, sweeping away their worries for many days, and each cried with joy. The arrival of the Ming reinforcements means that they have a backer.

Pyongyang garrison Lin Qingye went out of the city as soon as possible. Especially when he saw that the Ming army was the governor of Baoding, Lord Lu, he was even more overjoyed. Even the governor came in person, which means that the Ming army came in full bloom, and Jianlu was no longer in the Pyongyang side.

As expected, five thousand Ming army infantry came down from the ship one after another, and drove into Pyongyang under the sight of Jianlu. The number of aids coming to the limit of the Ming army had reached the limit.

"No need to be polite!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and signaled to Lin Qingye, and immediately asked what he was most concerned about, "What is the movement of Jianlu?"

"Go back to the Governor, Jianlu seemed to have no intention of siege the city. He just robbed the ground three feet a day, and didn't let anything go. They were just a group of beasts!" Lin Qingye replied very angrily after hearing this.

Lu Xiangsheng was not surprised when he heard this. Before Jianlu, he still entered the pass and robbed him.

He hurriedly climbed to the top of Pyongyang and looked at the Jianlu camp.

Because of the arrival of the Ming army, Jianlu's troops outside the camp had begun to shrink, and teams of people continued to gather towards the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, feeling a little regretful. He had just arrived on a boat and needed to rest and fight before he could fight. In addition, the cavalry came to support from land and still needed time to wait. Otherwise, he should launch an offensive against Jianlu as soon as possible, and it might be effective.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at the Korean soldiers on the top of the city. If the Korean soldiers were available, they would not have to rest, but could restrain Jianlu. However, at first glance, he felt a sank in his heart and dispelled this idea.

The Korean soldiers were all pale and thin. In terms of physical strength, they were far less powerful than Jianlu. Moreover, they did not have much armor on their bodies and were worn in tatters. In Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, they could not be considered an army at all.

With Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, he could see at a glance that the training of the North Korean army must be very ordinary. Such an army is backed by a city wall and it is okay to defend it, but if it goes out of the city and fights with Jianlu, then don't even think about it.

After reaching this conclusion, Lu Xiangsheng gave up his fantasy and immediately sent an order. The Ming army seized time to rest. As soon as the cavalry arrived, they were ready to launch an offensive against the Jianlu camp.
