Those lights, whether it was the light of the sunset or the blood of the soldiers, seemed to be intertwined, rendering the whole world red.
The bloody army was swarming across the land towards Pyongyang City, swarming away. The Korean soldiers who wanted to enter Pyongyang City had completely lost their fighting spirit, and their organization was even more chaotic. They were as messy as headless flies.
In fact, the Goryeo soldiers were not weak at all. If they had opened up the battle line with the Ming army and fought openly, they would not have been defeated so quickly. If they had relied on natural dangers to hold on, they would not have been so embarrassed.
But they met Zhu Di, King of Yan. King Yan's army was the wolf of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he was the most ferocious and clever one among the wolves of the Ming Dynasty. If he could sneak up on you from behind, why put up a formation?
The Korean people thought they could escape, but they didn't know that the trap set by Zhu Yunxi in front of them would eat up all their scum.
General, there is a Ming army blocking our way!
The embarrassed scout rushed to Li Zhilan, panting heavily and out of breath to report.
Li Zhilan's eyes were bloodshot and filled with frightening bloodshot eyes. We fell into the trap of the Ming army. In fact, they didn't even want to break through Pyongyang, but were waiting here for us to come!
At this time, Li Zhilan had completely figured it out. The Ming army used the simplest tactic of encircling the point and calling for reinforcements. What was even more frightening was that the head coach of the Ming army had a complete insight into Goryeo's strategic intentions.
Li Zhilan roared loudly and rushed over, rushing into Pyongyang City. There was still a glimmer of hope!
Although the isolated city cannot be defended, this is the only chance at the moment. After entering Pyongyang City, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 horses left to hold on in Pyongyang, waiting for Lord Jingan's 20,000 cavalry to bypass the Ming army's back.
Can turn defeat into victory.
Rush over! Rush over! Li Zhilan's order echoed wildly among the Goryeo army.
Pyongyang is not far away, and you can enter the city by crossing a shallow branch of the Taedong River.
The trapped beast still fought, and the fish died and the net was broken. In order to break through the blocking Ming army's position, Li Zhilan dispatched the most elite troops of the Goryeo army at this time, and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle.
Under the setting sun, the shallow Datong River flows slowly, the water is clear and bright, reflecting countless reflections.
On the high ground by the river, Zhu Yunxi, who was surrounded by people, looked indifferently ahead at the charging Korean soldiers in the smoke and dust, with a sneer on his lips.
King Yan's fight was really brutal!
Before Zhu Di decided to attack first, he had already sent someone to deliver the message quickly. In fact, Lan Yu and others did not agree with letting Zhu Di attack first. It was not a question of victory, but a question of attribution of great achievements. His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun led the army on the expedition.
Why are you, King Yan, trying to steal the limelight?
But in Zhu Yunxi's mind, there was no such idea at all. Zhu Di's contribution was Zhu Yunxi's contribution.
King Yan's battle is still not going to be successful!
Lan Yu also looked at the defeated troops swarming in his sight, and said, if I come to fight, not a single one of the 70,000 people in Goryeo will be able to escape!
As he spoke, Lan Yu drew some simple figures on the ground with his sword. I could think of how King Yan fought. King Yan liked to leave no room for action in battles, but as a general, the most important thing is to be strong and leave room for future generations.
hand!
Then, Lan Yu's waist knife pointed on the drawn map and continued to say, this is the escape route of the Goryeo army. If artillery is set up on the high ground on both sides, a group of elite cavalry can be ambushed secretly. Wait until the Goryeo army wants to seize the high ground.
, to ensure that when the army successfully broke through the encirclement, they suddenly rushed out to attack the Chinese army and captured the thieves chieftain alive. The Goryeo army collapsed without a fight!
The King of Yan has already done a good job. The old general should stop criticizing him harshly! Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly. In fact, the King of Yan also had his own painstaking efforts. If he killed everyone there, wouldn't there be nothing left to gain here?
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi pointed at the remnant Goryeo army that was advancing in formation and destroyed them!
Well! The generals behind them agreed, and their flags flew in an instant. The Ming army moved according to the order.
Everyone, move forward!
In the Ming army formation, the officers in the infantry position started shouting orders after receiving the order.
Daming! Daming! Daming!
At the front, three infantry phalanxes moved slowly like mountains. Each of the three phalanxes had 7,200 elite infantrymen. Behind the infantry line was the heavy cavalry of the Beijing camp led by the Prince Consort Li Jian.
On the far right side of the Ming army are thousands of firearms soldiers pushing artillery carts.
And further away, there is the rear column of the Ming army, slowly approaching from other directions.
~~~
Do you want to be a human being or a slave?
Goryeo coach Li Zhilan walked back and forth in front of the formation, looking at the Goryeo vanguard who were about to charge, and roared loudly.
This is Goryeo, the homeland where we have grown up for generations. Our ancestors, our families, and our descendants all grew up on this land. We originally had a good life, but the people of the Ming Dynasty did not let us live a good life!
They want to take away everything from us, our land, our wealth, and our personality! The people of the Ming Dynasty not only want people in our area to be slaves, but also our descendants to become their slaves!
Do you agree?
No! The Korean soldiers at the front of the battle formation roared crazily.
These people are all the elites of King Jing of Goryeo, and they are all descendants of great families. They are easier to incite and encourage than those mud-legged people who have put down their hoes.
We have no retreat!
Li Zhilan continued to shout loudly. Only by fighting through and entering Pyongyang City can we save the last remaining strength for Goryeo. Only then can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory!
I would rather be a ghost of Korea than a slave of the Ming Dynasty! For the sake of Korea and your Majesty, attack!
Kill!
There was a roar that reached the sky from the Koryo army formation, and then countless Koryo soldiers charged ferociously towards the slowly moving Ming army position.
Unlike the Goryeo people, whose blood was boiling, the Ming army soldiers and horses were very calm. They were so calm, like machines without emotions.
At the moment when the Goryeo army charged, the Ming army suddenly stood firm. The infantrymen in the front row raised their ten-foot-long spears diagonally, and the sharp edges of the spears flashed faintly.
On the flanks, the artillerymen quickly pushed the sports cars to prepare. The experienced gunners were constantly calculating the enemy's distance, and the other gunners loaded ammunition quickly and skillfully.
The cavalry behind the infantry also began to draw circles in place to warm up before charging.
Kill! The dark Korean soldiers swarmed in under the reflection of the setting sun.
Six hundred steps!
Five hundred steps!
Four hundred steps!
Prepare! Release!
Bang bang bang, more than 300 artillery pieces, large and small, fired in unison, and the roaring and burning projectiles suddenly fired a barrage of steel in front of the charging Goryeo army.
Smoke and dust suddenly rose between the sky and the earth, and a thick white mist instantly enveloped the people on both sides.
At the moment when the Ming army's artillery fire was fired, a thousand-man team of cavalry hidden behind the infantry rushed out. A long dragon, covered by the smoke of the artillery, killed directly towards the flank of the remaining Goryeo army.
Bang bang bang, the artillery barrage was like a millstone of flesh and blood, constantly strangling the charging Goryeo soldiers.
Although the power of the artillery at this time was far less than that of later generations, the bloody impact was a bit stronger. Those red projectiles fell directly on the heads of the Koreans, like meteorites falling from the sky, smashing countless heads and breaking countless people.
of limbs.
Captured the Ming army's artillery array!
In the Goryeo army, there were brave soldiers who were not afraid of death and shouted loudly.
Then the only remaining cavalry and elite infantry of the Koryo people charged directly at the Ming army's artillery array.
Stop the cavalry and release the infantry!
In the cavalry team of the Ming Army, Lieutenant-in-law Li Jian gave the order expressionlessly.
Then a group of Ming army cavalry, which had been warming up, roared out.
Boom, boom, the sound of horse hooves and artillery, the sound was deafening. The Ming army's cavalry rushed directly towards the remaining cavalry of Goryeo, with the lances in the center and the horse archers on both sides. The two sides suddenly collided on the battlefield. The horses screamed.
During the battle, the Ming army penetrated and the Goryeo cavalry suffered heavy losses.
rush ahead!
The Goryeo infantry finally rushed to the Ming army's artillery array, but as they charged, they discovered to their horror that many strange things appeared in the Ming army's position.
