Seven days later, a cavalry group set out from Shengjing, crossed the border between Houjin and North Korea, and directly entered North Korea's National Ping An Road.
This is almost half of the troops of Xianghuang Banner. The leading generals are Wei Qi and Obai of Xianghuang Banner. Xianghuang Banner’s total strength at this time is about twenty Niulu, and Wei Qi and Obai each command five Niulu, nearly two thousand
The human strength accounts for almost half of the Xianghuang Banner strength.
Duduo, the leader of the Xianghuang Banner, was too young, and Huang Taiji had other plans. Since the matter was reported by Wei Qi and Ao Bai, Huang Taiji simply asked them to deal with the matter directly - if there was a Ming army in North Korea, they would destroy it.
And accuse North Korea.
If North Korea does not have a Ming army, blame North Korea.
Niu Lu was lost for no reason during the war. In the eyes of Wei Qi and Obai, it was a big deal. However, in the eyes of Huang Taiji, it was not a big deal. He is now focusing all his energy on
On the other side of the Daling River, how to deploy troops and generals to strategize and crush the attempts of the Liaodong Ming Army is what he is most concerned about at the moment.
As for the affairs of North Korea, they were caused by Xianghuang Qi himself, and were naturally resolved by Xianghuang Qi himself.
Of course, even the great Khan Huang Taiji is not absolutely unanimous within the Eight Banners. Each banner owner of the Eight Banners controls most of the rights of the banner, and Huang Taiji is the successor to the throne from the banner owner of the Zhengbai Banner.
, after he succeeded to the throne of Khan, he wanted to swap the white flag and the yellow flag on the grounds that "the Khan's orthodoxy must respect the yellow flag." The original white flag became the yellow flag.
And this year, it was also the time when Huang Taiji was preparing for this matter. At this time, it was the right choice for Huang Taiji to let Duduo's Xianghuangqi handle the matter he had caused.
Handled well, it is a matter of course.
If it was not handled well, then there would be a legitimate reason for the flag reversal, and Duduo and his brothers would probably have nothing to say.
Zhuo Butai followed his father on an expedition, but this time, he had no troops to lead.
His father thought that he looked embarrassed and looked unlucky even before he went into battle, so he sent him directly to Obai's army. Oboi did the same, as if his nephew was picked up, and sent him directly to do it.
The scout captain is here.
Haven't you been to Korea several times? If you can't fight, you might as well be a scout!
The cavalry marched very fast. Even after passing through a large swamp that was more than a hundred miles away, they still arrived at a place less than ten miles away from Pyongyang City in a few days. For the cavalry, this distance was as close as
There is no difference if you punch the opponent directly in the face.
"Camp right here!"
Wei Qi ordered: "Send someone to Pyongyang and ask their officials to come out of the city to see you. There are no defenders allowed on the city walls. If you don't obey, it can be regarded as a war against us!"
"It's better to tell them not to close the city gate!" Obai snorted slightly: "Once the opponent pushes back, our children can rush into the city and kill them!"
"What if there are really Ming troops in the city?" Wei Qi looked at Obai: "Whether it is fighting or defending, we must give them a chance!"
"I'm afraid they won't stand with us!" Obai shouted loudly: "Let's set up a formation here and see if I don't slaughter all those Ming dogs and fight with our Jingqi in the wild. Do Ming dogs have the courage?"
Wei Qi shook his head: "Third brother, the Great Khan said that I should lead the army in this expedition. I know how brave Third Brother is, but if it can be done without any effort, why should the men bleed!"
"Old Jiu, you were influenced by those Ming dogs who surrendered..." Obai was not unhappy at all: "Let's just fight a war. There are so many long-winded things. According to my temper, I will just get angry now.
Go into the city and see who can stop you!"
Wei Qi laughed. He knew that Obai couldn't do it. Both of them knew that the Ming army had firearms, just like Guan Ning's Ming army cavalry who were good at using firearms. It was a bit nerve-wracking to deal with them.
things.
In Pyongyang City, the gates had already advanced, and a large number of defenders began to appear on the city walls. The scouts and the Tatar cavalry arrived in Pyongyang City almost at the same time. Li Zicheng originally thought that the Tatars would start charging into the city in one go, but when he saw in the distance
Chu Tatar started to set up camp, and he immediately started laughing.
"General, General, you can still laugh at this moment!"
Pu Renyong's forehead was dripping with sweat. When he received the news and rushed over, the city was already heavily guarded.
This time, the Ming general's men drove all the family private troops he recruited away from the city wall and used them as auxiliary troops.
This seemed to mean looking down on Park Renyong's family private soldiers, but Park Renyong felt relieved. He did not want the other party to look down upon him at all. He had no problem with whoever made the decision in Pyongyang, as long as his strength was not affected.
"So many cavalry, so many cavalry, this is almost the same as what I saw last time!" Pu Renyong murmured to himself, his eyes a little straight. He knew clearly that just those cavalry in the distance, all the soldiers on the entire Ping'an Road
Even the horses combined could not withstand the opponent's charge.
The last time he fought with the Houjin cavalry, there were still more than 20,000 people in the entire Pingan Dao army, but now there were not even 30% left. He really didn't know how the Ming general could still laugh under such circumstances.
.
The city gate has been closed, at least they have no intention of escaping.
He muttered in his heart and then shook his head. What else could he do without closing the city gate? Can two legs run faster than four legs? The Ming general probably knew that he couldn't escape, so he put on a posture of active defense.
It looks like a royal one!
"Someone is coming, you come!"
Li Zicheng gave up his position and pushed Pu Renyong to the top of the city. Naturally, he huddled behind him, as if he was his personal general.
The cavalry under the city stood within the range of the bow and arrow, and began to shout loudly toward the top of the city. Li Zicheng did not understand what the other party was shouting, but he could see the other party's arrogant look. If he hadn't wanted to know
Whatever the other party said, he almost asked someone to shoot this guy to death with an arrow.
"...What did he say?" After the cavalry finished speaking, he pointed at the city head and made a fierce gesture, turned his horse's head and left.
"He said that there are no defenders allowed on the city, and the city gates are not allowed to be closed. Also, let me go see them!"
Pu Renyong said with a sad face: "General, what should I do about this? The Houjin people are very vicious. If I go, I'm afraid I won't come back alive!"
"No defenders are allowed, no city gates are allowed to be closed!" Li Zicheng laughed out loud: "These Tatars love to joke!"
"General..." Pu Renyong was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw that Li Zicheng ignored his last sentence.
"Go, of course you have to go. If you don't go, how will you know how many Tatars are coming!" Li Zicheng bared his teeth and smiled: "I don't know how many Tatars there are, so how do I know how much bounty you should prepare to reward my soldiers and horses?
?”
He patted Park Renyong on the shoulder: "But instead of you going, there is someone who can represent Pyongyang, and I can guarantee that that person will never come back unless he dies there!"
