In Shenyang, at the head of the city and below the city, the soldiers of the Ming army were shouting in unison.
In sharp contrast, whether it is the Mongolian army, the Jurchen tribe, or the Goryeo army, everything is quiet.
The power of firearms possessed by the Ming army completely exceeded their imagination.
There are cannons that can blast through city gates at such a long distance as before; and the firearms thrown by catapults are even more lethal. When they explode, they are not just a line like the artillery, but a large area. affected.
The most shocking thing is that the Ming army's muskets are so powerful that they seem to be able to shoot without seeing the ignition action. Not only that, the shooting speed was also very fast. Several rows of Ming soldiers took turns firing, creating a non-stop rain of bullets. It was impossible for humans to rush through. And it can also be seen that the range is still far, and those who hit it will fall to the ground, and no one will be spared.
How did the Ming army create such a powerful firearm?
How can we fight the Ming army?
At this moment, Li Chenggui finally understood why the Ming army, with its inferior strength, was able to ignore several times the enemy and still attack Shenyang City!
Looking at this scene, the Ming army's drunkard's intention is not to drink at all, but to frighten their enemies!
Thinking of this, Li Chenggui looked towards the Mongolian army and found that the Mongolians, regardless of their size, were all cowering, as if they were afraid that the Ming army's muskets and artillery could hit them at once.
Glancing over, he found that some tribes on the Jurchen tribe were already retreating quietly, apparently cowardly and trying to escape.
Finally, Li Chenggui turned to look at his men and found that there was no difference. The faces of each of his subordinates were a little pale, and there was some fear.
He estimated in his mind that if he ordered an attack on the Ming army at this time, his men might not dare to attack.
Looking at all this, Li Chenggui sighed in his heart. I'm afraid this war can't be fought. This morale is too low!
While thinking about this, he suddenly noticed another movement from the Ming army, so he turned around and looked. Immediately, they discovered that the Ming army soldiers who had captured the city of Shenyang had actually withdrawn from the city.
What are they going to do?
The answer will be available soon.
I saw that the front army of the Ming army changed into the rear army, and the rear army changed into the front army, and began to move.
"Is this?" Li Chenggui looked at it for a while and came to a conclusion in surprise, "Is the Ming army going to withdraw to Liaoyang?"
It seems that the Ming army indeed changed the direction of attack and began to move towards Liaoyang.
After confirming this, Li Chenggui was a little dumbfounded: They went to such great lengths just to tell their enemies that they have the ability to capture Shenyang, and they can come and leave whenever they want, so why not stop them?
Thinking of this, a very strong sense of arrogance made Li Chenggui, who had originally planned to be a bystander, feel very uncomfortable.
He is like this, the biggest enemy of the Ming army, and the Mongolian *** feel that their faces are being slapped by this Ming army!
"Pah", slapped him with his mouth.
Look, we have fewer troops than you. We can come whenever we want and you can't stop us.
"Snap", the second mouth twitched again.
Look, you are surrounded by many times the number of troops, but if we want to attack Shenyang, we can attack Shenyang, and we can defeat it very easily. We treat you as if you are nothing. Do you have any objections?
"Pah", another mouth twitched over.
Grandson, watch out, we can come when we want and leave when we want. Can you stop us?
Faced with such humiliation by the Ming army, all the Mongolian soldiers blushed. However, for those ordinary soldiers, Qi returned to Qi, but they did not dare to take any action.
On the other hand, the leaders of the Mongolian rebels were furious with each other, shouting to attack and stop the Ming army. If this Ming army really wants to be withdrawn, it would be really shameless!
However, the Ming army's firearms had just shown their power, and they had already forgotten it before they were so forgetful.
The Mongol army just surrounded the perimeter and moved with the Ming army.
The heads of various tribes, as well as the chiefs of the Jurchen tribe and Li Chenggui from Goryeo, were all summoned to discuss the military situation.
Halazhang and Guantong, the highest-ranking people, both had gloomy faces. They looked at a group of people who were silent and had their heads lowered. After looking at each other, Guantong spoke: "The Ming army is about to escape. Right now." This is a good time for us to kill the enemy. Those of you who have never participated in the battle will have no chance to make meritorious deeds if you don't hurry up. I will give you the credit this time."
His words were obviously meant for the Jurchen tribe and the Korean people. After all, this bone is too hard, so let the foreigners consume the Ming army first. This is their consensus.
However, although his words were beautiful, the Jurchen tribe chief, Li Chenggui and others were not stupid: Is the Ming army fleeing? Which eye sees the slightest sign of escape?
Venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, he just pretended to be the Clay Bodhisattva and pretended not to hear it.
When Harazhang saw them like this, he immediately got angry and shouted: "Why, are you deaf? Those who don't contribute at all in this battle are the enemies of our Yuan Empire! Haha, come on, let's see what you can do Can’t you go back?”
This is a naked threat.
The generals of the Mongolian army, such as Gao Basi Temu'er, Hong Boyan Temu'er and others, immediately stared at the Jurchens and Koreans with ill intentions, as if they were about to draw their swords if they disagreed.
When Li Chenggui saw this posture, he knew that it would be impossible to continue to be a coward, so he spoke: "What kind of vehicles did the Ming army have for protection? In addition, their firearms are powerful. If they attack directly, the losses will be heavy. It may not be possible." It can be captured. In the opinion of a small country official, it is better to send people first to block the road. In this way, the Ming army can be trapped to death. As long as the Ming army's food, grass and gunpowder are consumed, victory will be achieved. It must be ours.”
Upon hearing what he said, Guantong couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly pointed at Li Chenggui and said, "This is a great plan. Then it's up to you to dig the road and make sure to prevent the Ming army from retreating."
When Li Chenggui heard this, he looked unfazed by the honor and disgrace, but he was happy in his heart. He quickly responded and then hurriedly withdrew.
Those Jurchens didn't even have time to grab the job, and he had already run out of the camp.
Guantong looked at the Jurchens, his voice became colder, and he ordered: "When you go to harass the Ming army, you must slow down the Ming army, otherwise I will attack them!"
After finishing speaking, he selected a few Yuan generals and asked them to supervise the team.
"My lord, we usually make a living by fishing and hunting, and we are the best at digging. Why don't you let us dig in the ground?"
"Yes, yes, we are the best at digging. The Ming army will never be able to defeat us..."
"..."
The chiefs of these Jurchen tribes were obviously afraid of attacking the Ming army. They were not even willing to harass them. They volunteered one by one, still hoping to win the task of digging roads.
Needless to say, Harazhang lost his temper and frightened the clan leaders so much that they did not dare to speak any more and had no choice but to carry out the military orders.
So, on the battlefield, the Koreans headed towards Liaoyang first. Under the supervision of the Mongolian police, the Jurchens timidly launched harassment against the Ming army.
They were riding horses, far away, shouting, and dancing with their teeth and claws, as if they were dancing a shamanic dance. But no matter what, they just didn't dare to get close to the Ming army.
So the soldiers of the Ming army retreated while enjoying the singing and dancing.
This kind of perfunctory made the Mongolian rebel leader scream with anger, and he immediately sent a supervising team to drive the Jurchens to attack.
It goes without saying how a war with no morale like this would end. With a few casualties, all the Jurchens ran back, which basically did not affect the marching speed of the Ming army.
Fortunately, after such a day of commotion, it was already getting late.
The Ming army did not leave here. They used the car camp as a protection and camped to rest.
Naturally, the enemy also stopped. But looking from a distance, people at the top of Shenyang City seemed to be busy cleaning up the mess.
After nightfall, the Mongolian army organized several night attacks. However, the Ming army had experienced generals. When they came, the Mongol army had never succeeded in night attacks. When they left, they still failed to succeed in night attacks. It's a completely normal thing.
On the next day, the Ming army continued to move towards Liaoyang.
But the Mongolian *** are a little busy.
Two groups of Jurchen tribesmen ran away in the middle of the night last night.
In addition, the Mongolian soldiers also found that the Koreans actually went all the way to dig holes, which was equivalent to allowing the Ming army to move closer to Liaoyang, and they were very angry.
However, Li Chenggui's reply was that the army did not have the tools at hand, and if they were to dig close, they would be afraid that the road would not be dug enough to prevent the Ming army's car camp from leaving.
The Mongolian army had nothing to do. They ignored the fact that the Koreans had as many as 30,000 horses and sent some of their own people to dig together. Judging from their posture, they seemed to be digging a chasm out of the sky.
However, what they never expected was that while they were busy, there would be an urgent report from the detective horse, indicating that the National Cavalry Army was coming to kill them.
Sure enough, before anyone could react, they heard the rumble of horse hooves.
When Li Chenggui saw it, he immediately wanted to order a retreat. However, the Mongolian *** won’t do it here!
The only way to block this Ming army is to dig a road and prevent the Ming army from passing through. The Mongolian *** has obviously realized this.
Now, when the Ming cavalry attacked, they had no choice but to gather and prepare for war.
However, before they had finished gathering, another scout came to report that the Ming army in Liaoyang City was going to fight.
If this operation of the Ming army went deep into the hinterland of the desert, then it would definitely be very difficult for the army to retreat.
However, the distance from Shenyang to Liaoyang is only one hundred and twenty miles. For cavalry, you can easily go back and forth in one day.
Not to mention, the Ming army had already gone back before. Ye Busuo has communication with Liaoyang, and Liaoyang itself will send Ye Busuo to check the situation on the front line.
When the Koreans left Shenyang and headed toward Liaoyang, Lan Yu and others, who were experienced in leading troops in combat, had already guessed what the Koreans were going to do.
On the Liaoyang side, Xu Da has already arrived, and after Ye Busuo reports the news, he will naturally be able to take corresponding measures.
In this way, these road-digging troops and Mongolian troops were attacked from both sides.
Guantong, the leader of the Mongolian rebels who was present, immediately became anxious when he saw it. He ran to the Koreans personally and asked the Korean infantry to assemble. No matter what, they must block the Ming army and prevent them from opening the road.
At the same time, he also sent people to the rear to spread the news and ask for reinforcements.
Li Chenggui, on his side, had no choice but to order his men to line up.
At this time, if you could see this area from the sky, the situation would be like this.
In the direction of Liaoyang, about five or six thousand Ming infantry troops were moving in an attack formation under the cover of more than a thousand cavalry troops.
About ten miles away from the Ming army, there were about 10,000 Goryeo troops and about 10,000 Mongolian troops in formation to snipe the Ming army.
About ten miles behind them, 20,000 Korean troops and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry were forming formation. Among them, the Goryeo army was mainly infantry, and the Mongolian cavalry was arranged on both sides, also in a defensive posture.
On the battlefield, the Mongolian troops and the Goryeo troops were running back and forth, shouting loudly and conveying various military orders.
About two miles in front of them, a Ming cavalry army of about 5,000 people had already made an attack posture, but it remained silent.
About ten miles to the north, the main force of the Ming army was driving south under the cover of the chariot camp and cavalry.
On their sides and behind, more Mongolian troops followed. Although they showed their teeth and claws, no Japanese army dared to charge and stop the Ming army from moving south.
Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong looked at the situation of the rebels in the army, and couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile and said: "These bastards are just a rabble. If Wang Baobao of the bastard is still there, then we will have some trouble in retreating like this. But now, Look at them, haha!"
His qualifications are old enough. He had fought in the north and south before the founding of the country. If he hadn't kept slaves privately, he would have held the title of Duke. with his qualifications
Li, but there is weight in saying this.
As the head coach, Yongchang Hou Lanyu heard this, but was not convinced, and said coldly: "It's sunset, don't talk about Wang Baobao, no matter how many Baobao come, they will only add some military merits to us!"
Having said this, he paused, and when he saw that Zhao Yong seemed a little unhappy, he added in a cold voice: "The great prince-in-law descended from heaven, created the Yuanyang Formation, came out of the chariot camp, improved gunpowder, and built cannons to blast barbarians, and cannons with great speed. , and this flintlock gun. From now on, if every soldier in the army has a shot, even if their Temujin is still alive, I can teach him how to behave!"
When Zhao Yong heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Originally, he couldn't stand Lan Yu's arrogance. However, when he heard these reasons, he was speechless.
That's right, today's imperial officers and soldiers are invincible!
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of pride in his heart, and immediately shouted generously: "Today's *** are just like chickens and dogs, but the Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
When his personal guards heard this, they all excitedly shouted together: "You are a country chicken and a dog, but the Ming Dynasty is victorious!"
As soon as they shouted this, other Ming army officers and soldiers followed suit and shouted, looking at the tens of thousands of people around them as if they were nothing.
