Chapter 328 Arrogant Amin
Although Du Du and Jilharang are still in North Korea, Amin did not intend to take them with him when he led his troops south to Hanyang, but he still truthfully reported the Ming army's landing in North Korea to Shenyang Huang Taiji. .
When he arrived at Bukhan Mountain City, news came from Ping'an Road that Sambel Manggurtai had marched south to North Korea with an army of 100,000, and joined Jilharang and Dudu who were left behind to head towards Pyongyang.
With so many people coming, Amin suddenly had an idea in his mind. Throughout Jianzhou, his achievements were very high and great, especially in the battle to conquer Shenyang. He also conquered North Korea twice and forced Li Zhu to declare himself a minister. Tai Chi's power didn't seem to increase much after he called him the Great Khan, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"If we can completely wipe out the Ming army's landing troops in this battle, my status in Shenyang will be much higher."
The throne of the Kingdom of Jin was originally out of Huang Taiji's turn. Da Beile did not fight for it, but Amin had some ideas. As a result, Mang Gurtai was deceived into believing in Huang Taiji, and the throne eventually fell into Huang Taiji's hands.
At this time when he was about to be accused but military glory came again, Amin, who was naturally fond of fighting, did not care so much and was ready to take care of the rebellious soldiers and civilians of Seoul and the Ming army who were working hard on the expedition.
"This guy Du Du is dishonest," Amin read again. After all, it was Du Du who made the complaint, and he just dragged Jierharang to write the letter together.
Jierhalang and Amin are brothers, both sons of Shuerhaqi, but Jierhalang is not close to his second brother, but is extremely close to Huang Taiji.
Therefore, after Amin said those words on Ganghwa Island, although Amin covered it up with drunken nonsense, Du Du did not dare to hide it. In order to prove that his words were true, he even dragged Jilharang.
Airli walked into the tent at this time: "Amma, the leader of the Ming army seems to be Chen Cao."
"Chen Cao? That Chen Cao from the Ming Dynasty?"
Airley nodded: "It's him."
Amin was a little excited because their third uncle Mulhaqi died in the hands of Chen Cao, as well as several important generals under his uncle Nurhachi, including celebrities such as E Yidu and Fei Yingdong.
"Okay, very good..." Amin clenched his fists: "What's Mingren's plan?"
"They are all huddled in Hanyang City."
Amin paced back and forth in the big tent, and the thin rat-tail braid swayed with his head from time to time, like a thin thread.
Amin's third son Gurma Hui opened the big tent: "Ama, the forward scouts have come to report that a large number of Ming troops have left Hanyang City and entered Muyue Mountain."
Amin stood still, then turned to look at the map behind him, and murmured: "People in the Ming Dynasty used to use the trick of surrounding a point to call for reinforcements. Yuan Yingtai did this to us in Liaoyang back then;"
The Jianzhou Jurchens still suffered a lot when they started their army, especially Liu Ting and Du Song. In the end, the Jurchens figured out the trick of encircling for reinforcements, and they even turned against Yuan Yingtai. Following the path, Yuan Yingtai's army was finally defeated.
Although Amin was arrogant, he still had some sense during the battle: "The areas around Hanyang are mountainous and plains are sparse. Our cavalry in Daikin cannot exert its absolute advantage. We can only use our riding and shooting skills when pursuing or being pursued." .”
Airli said: "Amma, my son has seen that most people in the Ming Dynasty have firearms."
"According to intelligence from insiders in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Cao's firearms are more powerful than those of the Liaodong Ming Army and can be fired several times in heavy rain. In other words, even waiting for rainy days will not help. "
Amin shook his head with regret, but in the eyes of their Jurchen warriors, muskets were indeed better than nothing in front of high-speed galloping horses.
Gu Ermahun said again: "Amma, our army's military morale is strong, and all the units of the Eight Banners of North Korea are also loyal, and the firearms troops composed of the North Korean army are extremely sharp. It would be better for me to lead a force to pretend to attack Hanyang, while Amma Send a large army to go around Muyue Mountain and eat all the Ming troops leaving the city."
Amin nodded in agreement. Since the Jurchens raised their troops and experienced the battles of Sarhu and Shenyang, they no longer take the Ming army seriously, because no Ming army dares to fight with the Jurchen cavalry on the Liaodong plain. If this is the case The choice is to seek death.
"Send the order and prepare to launch an attack on Hanyang."
.
The sound of drums and trumpets resounded around Hanyang, and Chen Cao reluctantly got up from Zhao Minji's arms. This woman was indeed called a witch, so it's no wonder that Li Zhu would be so obedient to the Haiyuan Zhao family.
"Your Majesty, there is military news coming from the North City, and the slave-building army is gathering outside the city."
Zhao Xin stood outside the door: "Master Feng asked if he could lead his troops out of the city to attack the enemy's position first."
Chen Cao has been learning Korean in recent days, but he can only say two or three common greetings. He almost burst out in English, then patted Zhao Minji and stood up.
Han Jinzhe had been promoted to General Hanyang at this moment, but when he led his troops to the North City, he was blocked by the Ming army defending the city. He was so depressed that he did not dare to mess with the Ming army carrying muskets, so he quickly reported it. Crown Prince Li Li.
The sound of drums and trumpets spread loudly in Hanyang City in the early morning. Because the Ming army declared martial law in Hanyang after entering the city, ordinary people did not dare to run around on the streets at will, so Hanyang seemed very quiet.
Li Li naturally heard the faint shouts. He did not stay in the palace city, but lived in the Prince's East Palace next to the palace city.
When Shen Shijun arrived at the East Palace, he also brought several close servants with him.
"Teacher..." Li Li frowned: "Is this really your choice?"
Shin Seok-jun looked serious: "At that time, the commander-in-chief (Yi Sun-shin was the commander of the three naval forces) once said: 'Abandoning the sea means giving up the entire North Korea', but now North Korea is once again facing an important choice."
As he spoke, Shen Shijun looked at Li Li: "Your Excellency, the future of North Korea can only be controlled by North Koreans."
Looking at Shen Shijun's unusually firm expression, Li Yi nodded noncommittally.
.
"A rough estimate is that Jiannu's troops in Beicheng are at least 20,000."
Feng Zhongping put down the telescope and said to Chen Cao, who was holding the telescope to observe next to him: "Your Majesty, I am confident that I can catch them off guard."
"North Korea has many mountains and few plains. It is the best choice for us to stick to Hanyang."
Chen Cao still held up the telescope: "It's just that food supply is a big problem. Zheng Zhilong went to various places in Busan to recruit rebels. If he doesn't come back, our food can only be used for fifteen days."
All the troops of Liang Fan carried canned food. Each soldier brought his own rations for seven days, and the munitions team carried them for another ten days. During this expedition to Korea, it was difficult to supply the fleet, so they had to eat locally.
"Your Majesty, the scouts came to report that tens of thousands of Jiannu Tatars have gone towards Muyue Mountain."
'Dong dong dong...'
"Fuck..."
Bang bang bang...
Chen Cao crouched down to avoid the flying city bricks, which made him frightened. However, some unlucky soldiers were still injured by the falling rubble and bricks.
In front of Amin's formation outside the city, thirty Ningyuan General's cannons fired in turns. The gunners were all Koreans. Stone bullets and iron bullets hit the northern city of Hanyang like meteors.
Every time the city wall was hit, there was a pothole, and some even flew directly over the city wall and fell into the city. However, Ningyuan General's cannon had an impressive range, up to two miles, but the artillery array was three miles away.
"North Korea's artillery is really interesting."
Chen Cao was leaning behind the city wall, looking at the stone bullet that happened to fall on the horse road, and then he realized: "No wonder Madhu hit it so far, it has shrunk a lot. Korean craftsmen are quite smart."
"Your Majesty, I will ask for instructions from the general to fire back."
"No..."
Chen Cao refused directly. This expedition took away all the twenty field cannons left in Liangfan territory, as well as fifty Shenwu cannons, and divided them into five field cannons and ten Shenwu cannons. Tang Yannian left the city. Twenty cannons were given to Liu Xingzuo. At this moment, Chen Cao's artillery force only had thirty cannons.
Although there were only thirty gates, all the flower bombs equipped with them were quite powerful. He was afraid of scaring Amin away from the city, so he prepared a preemptive attack.
The bombardment lasted for half an hour. If it were the Koreans defending the city, they would have suffered a psychological breakdown, but his opponents were the soldiers of Liang Fan who were very familiar with artillery.
"Jiannu is coming up..."
Chen Cao stood up immediately, and then held up his telescope. After the smoke, the battlefield situation became clear. Thousands of Korean puppet troops led by the Jiannu soldiers were rushing towards Beicheng, with the Jiannu cavalry behind them. at every turn.
"Let them taste the power of our rifles."
"Prepare..."
"Free Fire..."
"Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang..."
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang...'
The sound of gunfire was loud, but the smoke was much smaller. Every bounce of the bullet case represented the death of an enemy soldier and falling to the ground.
When the first North Korean soldier who was shot was brought down by the huge recoil, more North Korean soldiers fell to the ground with the sound of random gunshots.
Niulu Tatar, a commander, saw that a North Korean general next to him had lost half of his face after being shot. He was immediately stunned. Even though he had experienced hundreds of battles, he had never seen such a horrific scene.
Before they could reach the city wall, the leader Gushan Ezhen ordered the troops to retreat. The panicked Korean troops ran back one after another, faster than the Jiannu soldiers on horseback.
Amin clenched his fists. He heard from the mouth of Gu Shanerzhen, the team leader, about the huge casualties that occurred in just one encounter: "More than a thousand people died before we even rushed under the city wall?"
Na Gushan's face was a little pale: "Master Beile, Mingren's firearms are very powerful. The people who are shot are not like before. Most of the people I see are missing arms and legs... I'm a slave... vomit ..."
Amin was so disgusted that he had Na Gushan'erzhen pulled down. The Jurchen warrior, a dignified warrior, actually vomited in public. However, Amin still did not believe in evil and said: "Go and behead the North Korean general who led the team in front of the formation to calm the morale of the army... "
