With one hundred and eighty guns, even if one shot can only damage two enemies, the total number added up is considerable.
What's more, the broken stones and broken iron fired by the wooden cannon are all-round hits, which will definitely injure more than one or two enemies.
Besides, after the wooden cannon is fired, it can still be used as a log roll, and it can be thrown down to hit people without delay!
"Okay, okay, okay!" Zheng Fengshou took the lead in saying good deeds, looking at Guo Dajing with eager eyes, "Guo Baihu's fantastic idea allowed Longgu Mountain City to be defended, and he deserves the most credit."
First, there were boulder directional mines, and then there were wooden cannons. Guo Dajing really made a great effort in the defensive battle of Longgu Mountain City. Without these two things, the Korean volunteers would have suffered many more casualties.
Also eager are Cui Xiaoyi and others, some of whom have already set their sights on the surrounding mountains and forests.
There are plenty of trees, hundreds of thousands of cannons, traffic arteries, and dangerous places are defended. How can it be so easy for the Jianlu to safely withdraw from Korea?
Moreover, it doesn't hurt at all to throw the cannon away after firing. You don't have to fight with Jianlu. When you rush up, you can fire it and then turn around and run away, leaving Jianlu to stare.
Fujino Masaru, an old Japanese pirate, looked at Guo Dajing with admiration and said: "Guo Baihu's intelligence from fire blunderbuss to wooden cannons is extremely admirable."
Hey, I like how you are so sensible. You directly express my thoughts and it seems so logical. Apart from being smart, there is nothing unusual about it.
Guo Dajing hurriedly thanked him and added: "This wooden cannon can be made longer, and the charge should not be too much to avoid exploding the barrel."
Fujino nodded and said: "Just make it according to the length of the iron cannon, and only use a quarter of the charge. Well, you still have to try it before you know."
In fact, it is normal for wooden cannons to explode, but the risk is not high. Due to the toughness of wood, most of them will crack, instead of flying fragments like iron cannons.
Zhang Pan smiled and said nothing. He just waited for the North Koreans to test it well, then recorded the data and reported it to Pi Dao. This thing is another weapon that is easy to obtain and make to kill enemies after landmines.
Zheng Fengshou couldn't wait and quickly issued an order for the entire city's soldiers and civilians to cut down wood and build cannons, so that when the Jianlu invaders came, they could build a hundred and eighty gates to give the Jianlu a warm reception.
Of course, the original plan still had to be implemented. After Guo Dajing and others had lunch, the family members of the North Korean generals who were accompanying them out of the city were also ready and set off together.
………………
"In the past, King Xuan was invaded by barbarians and lost his country and moved westward. Emperor Shenzong mobilized all the troops to save him, and our country was rebuilt. This will never be forgotten..."
Many Koreans will never forget the kindness of the Ming Empire in aiding Korea and resisting Japanese aggression during the Wanli period.
For example, Cui Xiaoyi bravely fought against the Jianqi during the two chaos of Ding Mao and Bingzi; later he crossed the sea and entered the Ming Dynasty, continued to assist the Ming army and became the enemy of the Jianqi; after the Ming Dynasty fell, Cui Xiaoyi went to Chongzhen Emperor Si
He cried at the mausoleum day and night and died of hunger strike.
There is also Lin Qingye, the loyal general of North Korea. Bingzi killed Huang Taiji's nephew in a random act. Later, as the marshal of the Korean army, he twice revealed the plan of building captives to the Ming army when he was ordered by the King of Korea to support Jianlu.
A disastrous defeat in the Battle of Phi Island.
After the incident was exposed, Lin Qingye escaped capture by Jianlu and fled to the Ming Dynasty. He fought side by side with Ming army general Ma Tenggao and others until the Southern Ming Dynasty.
However, the Joseon royal family, which retained its throne and prosperity precisely because of the Ming army's aid to the DPRK, was ungrateful, betrayed the Ming Dynasty and aided the Ming Dynasty, conquered Pidao, and repeatedly killed the Korean martyrs who helped the Ming Dynasty.
Although the North Korean royal family also chooses sides based on self-interest, its stupidity is obvious.
The Jianlu invaders invaded twice, either because their military equipment was slack or because they were scared out of their wits. The foreign officials were still resisting bravely, but the royal family had fled to sue for peace.
As for the current situation, under the appearance of overwhelming strength, there is a deep crisis hidden.
With the rise of Korean volunteers, the Dongjiang Army is gathering strength again, waiting for the opportunity. As long as it persists in delaying for more than a month, the war situation will definitely change fundamentally.
But the Korean royal family could not see it, or in other words, they were frightened by the news and were eager to seek peace. They did not have the consciousness that the king would die for the country.
The Jianlu, mainly the main force led by Amin, only saw the weakness and vulnerability of the Korean royal family and the army, but did not realize that the dangers on the way back were increasing day by day.
On the tenth day of the second lunar month, Jinchang Jun Jiang Yan (uncle of Jiang Hongli) went to the Houjin Army Camp with his credentials. On the same day, after the empty city of Pyongyang, Amin led his army to occupy the empty city of Huangzhou without any blood.
The next day, Jiang Xuan and Pu Er accompanied Zha Nu and other envoys from the Later Jin Dynasty to the Jin camp to inform Jiang Wei about the future.
After Amin read the letter, he forwarded it to Jiang Yuan and Pu Er, accusing North Korea of continuing to rectify the soldiers and writing the Apocalypse era name on the newly sent credentials, lacking sincerity in negotiating peace, and drove them back.
The North Korean monarchs and ministers did not intend to delay, but they did not want to betray the money. However, Amin took advantage of this to create difficulties and wanted to continue southward to Seoul.
But just when Amin was driving away the North Korean envoy and preparing to continue heading south, the urgent news that Yue Tuo had died in Longgu Mountain City was delivered to him.
There was also an urgent report sent by Shuotuo in Dingzhou. He defeated the "revenge army" composed of Korean Jin Liangyan and killed Jin Liangyan. After hearing that his brother was killed in battle, he led his army to Longchuan.
Obviously, Shuotuo was furious and wanted to avenge his brother. He led his army to kill first and then to show off, without receiving any military orders.
The death of Yue Tuo in battle also shocked Amin and others. You must know that Yue Tuo was not only Baylor, but also held two red flags with his father Daishan, which was equivalent to the flag owner.
After the Jianlu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, they attacked the city and occupied most of Liaodong, but no such high-ranking general died in battle.
But in this overwhelming battle to conquer the DPRK, they lost a Baylor and banner leader, which Amin and others never expected.
"Longgu Mountain City, how can the Korean volunteers resist my state-building warriors? How dare they attack and kill my Dajin Baylor?" Amin waved his fist vigorously, extremely angry, "I intend to march immediately, go straight to Seoul, and severely punish the stubborn ones.
Spiritual Koreans.”
Jirhalang thought for a while and said: "It seems that the instability on the road ahead is beyond our expectations. It is too risky to continue to penetrate deep into North Korea at this time."
Azig frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, did not express any opinions, and pretended to be mute.
Li Yongfang hesitated for a moment and then said: "The general thought that after agreeing to the North Korean envoy to continue negotiating peace, and then sending troops southward, he would be suspected of breaking his promise."
Amin slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Broken promise? Full of nonsense. The North Koreans frequently attacked our army and killed my Dajinbeile. Do we want our army to stay here and wait for them to come to negotiate peace again? Dragging and dragging,
It fell into their trap."
Li Yongfang opened his mouth and lowered his head helplessly.
