There was a chaotic and disorderly sound of bowstrings vibrating from the shore of Seven Star Gate.
Until the people on the bridge were shot into hedgehogs by countless heavy arrows that were close at hand, and there were no arrow feathers anywhere on their bodies.
"Stop! Stop!"
Pu Conming shouted at the top of his lungs and stopped several servants around him who were still shooting arrows. The archers quickly put away their bows and arrows.
Pu Congming was born in the army, and his voice was surprisingly loud. Sometimes when delivering general orders, he did not even need to wave the order flag, he just shouted directly to the soldiers.
"I've said it a long time ago. Everyone is dead. What's the point of shooting blindly? Do you think the Koreans have too many bows and arrows? Liu Zhaosun is about to attack. Please save some energy for me to fight the North Koreans... ···”
The Qixing doorkeeper looked at Marshal Park who was full of energy and spoke at an alarming speed. Just as he was about to stay away from him, Park Conming said coldly:
"You, take a few people, go up and collect the corpses of the Northern prisoners. I will hang them on the top of Pyongyang City to boost the morale of the people."
The general had no choice but to bring a few soldiers with him, and it took all the strength of nine cattle and two tigers to carry down the corpses covered with arrows.
"One, two, three... six in total."
After finishing the total, report it to Marshal Park immediately.
Pu Conming pulled off the scarf from the servant's neck, covered his mouth and nose, and walked quickly to the body.
"I have known for a long time that there are six. You don't need to tell me. I want to know why they are wearing the clothes of our army and the official uniforms of envoys?
Mr. Ba shook his head. Obviously, this question was beyond his scope of cognition. Just like Marshal Park standing in front of him, he kept covering his nose. He didn't know the reason.
"Perhaps he is one of ours. Look at his index finger to see if there is any callus..." the servant who was robbed of his scarf said cautiously.
"No, stay away!" Pu Conming grabbed the servant and warned him: "Be careful that Qi people have plague. The last great plague was transmitted from them!"
At this time, Zheng Douyuan, who had been hiding behind the crowd, returned to his old state and walked tremblingly in front of Pu Conming.
Pu Conming stared at the dead body on the ground, and then looked at Zheng Douyuan. Neither of them spoke. The six people on the ground who were shot into hedgehogs, except for one wearing a mandarin duck coat, were Qi spies. The others were clearly from negotiating with Liu Zhaosun. A fifth-grade civil servant.
"Ahem."
Zheng Douyuan coughed twice to break the awkwardness:
"Please Pu Shuai immediately send people to search along the river. Don't worry about not catching a few of them."
Pu Congming nodded noncommittally and waved his hand. His head servant immediately stepped forward. The master and servant whispered a few words. The head servant nodded and ordered hundreds of soldiers to start searching along the banks of the Datong River.
"Director Zheng, I am very pleased that you can still come to Pyongyang if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Please!"
In accordance with the etiquette in North Korean officialdom, Zheng Douyuan took out a banknote of three thousand taels prepared in advance from his sleeve and secretly handed it to Park Conming.
"I can't do it! I can't do it! I am stationed in Pyongyang just to share the worries of the king. How can I accept any more gifts?"
Zheng Douyuan lowered his voice and said:
"Shuai Pu, there is no need to refuse! This is a reward from the king to the Pyongyang defenders. You must accept it. Don't let the patriotism of the soldiers drop."
After struggling for a quarter of an hour to refuse, the banknotes were turned over in their hands, and finally they were put into Park Dashuai's pocket as he wished.
Originally, when they were in Wang Jing, the civil and military pair in front of them had no interaction at all.
Even every time they paid homage to the king, the two of them entered the hall one after another, and they were strangers to each other.
Of course, the situation is very different now. Since the two of them just went to the battlefield together (against Qi Guo Xizuo) and shared the spoils together, tonight they should go to Qixing Tower to talk about their love with their red pink confidant.
In addition to going to school together, these two strangers are simply a pair of good brothers.
Zheng Douyuan followed Park Conming into Pyongyang City. Along the way, he saw the defenders in good order and various fortifications were still being built in the inner city.
In addition to excitement, he became more confident in holding Pyongyang.
The two of them walked along Pyongyang's North-South Street and chatted. In the end, the topic naturally turned to reinforcements.
When he heard that the defenders around Pyongyang were holding back and waiting and watching, Zheng Douyuan couldn't help but became furious:
"These people in the south just want Gu Shuai to lead the way. When the northern captives come, no one comes to rescue them, as if this country does not belong to them."
Pu Conming listened and smiled and said: "Old Zheng, don't complain. If you think North Korea is lacking, you can change it. Blaming others will not help."
Zheng Douyuan was speechless.
Pu Conming said with disdain: "Liu Zhaosun is just a martial artist. I know him best. If he doesn't come, that's all. If he comes, I will take the initiative to break his three routes and let him come and go. I know that Korea is not without control." people!"
"The battle in Pyongyang is related to the overall situation, and there is no room for failure. I hope Mr. Park will be cautious and cautious."
Zheng Douyuan was already optimistic enough about the situation, but he didn't expect Park Conming to be even crazier than him.
Pu Congming did not hide anything from Lao Zheng and directly stated his battle plan.
"I have sent people to ask for help from the surrounding commanders. When the reinforcements arrive, it will be the chance of Liu Zhaosun's defeat! But the reinforcements are delayed."
"I will go and urge you personally on behalf of the king."
After hearing this, Pu Conming was overjoyed and grabbed Zheng Douyuan's veteran hand.
"Okay, as long as the governor is here, Pyongyang will never fall. After this battle, I will plead merit for the governor in front of the king!"
As the plenipotentiary representative sent by Li Zhu to negotiate on Ping'an Road, Zheng Douyuan is actually equivalent to an imperial envoy. In addition, he has some friendship with the low-ranking officials in Huangzhou, Xinchuan, and Longgang, so there is a high probability that reinforcements will be brought in.
The plan is set,
That day, the two of them toured the whole city, stayed in the Seven Star Tower at night, and lay drunk among the flowers. Needless to say. Early the next morning, Zheng Douyuan left Pyongyang early and headed south to Huangzhou and other places to move reinforcements.
On November 1, the third year of Taichu, on the same day that Zheng Douyuan left Pyongyang, Emperor Wuding led the Central Route Army of 25,000 troops and successfully arrived in Shun'an. The army set up camp in the south of the city. The southernmost part of the camp was closest to the main city of Pyongyang. , but only fifteen miles.
On the night of arriving in Shun'an, the Qi and North Korea did not close their scouts at night, and a fierce scout battle broke out in the wilderness north of Pyongyang and south of Shun'an. Both sides were testing each other, so the casualties were not large.
At dawn the next day, the First Corps dispatched a hundred elite cavalry to drive the enemy's sentry cavalry south. The Qi army's scout line advanced to three miles south of Pyongyang. It did not stop until it hit the main force of the North Korean cavalry brigade, and the cavalry on both sides began to confront each other. .
The war in Pyongyang has officially begun.
The large tent of the Chinese army in Shun'an.
"Dividing the troops and attacking together, the most important thing is the word "合". It's easy to divide the troops, but it's difficult to unite them again. In the Battle of Saarhu, my father-in-law fell into this character!"
Liu Zhaosun stood up and walked to the huge map of North Korea in front of a room full of civilians and military generals.
Before the Saarhu War, Yang Hao's strategy of dividing his forces and attacking together was not wrong in itself.
However, in order to realize the true synchronization of several armies within a radius of several hundred miles, at least the emergence of train transportation technology after the First World War could be truly completed.
"Where is Deng Changxiong now? Where is Wang Zengbin? Where did Wu Aheng go after landing?"
Liu Xingzuo immediately stepped forward, pointed at the map, and explained carefully to Emperor Wu Ding.
"Okay, the navy's landing was three days late, and it turned out to be very different from what was planned. It doesn't matter if I don't give it."
What Yang Hao, Du Song, Marin, Liu Wei and others were missing on the Saarhu battlefield was a link between dividing the troops and attacking together, a more important link, that is.
"He ordered Deng Changxiong, Wang Zengbin and Wu Aheng to meet up at Yangde on the fifth day of the eleventh month, and then divide their forces to attack. This is the strategy of Tang general Li Jing to attack Jieli Khan. This is the true division of attack and combined attack."
