On the horizon, the setting sun is like blood.
The human world is filled with red light.
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. And it was the wolf pack of the Ming Dynasty. The most ferocious and clever one could sneak up on you from behind, so 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 the front!"
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 have caught the Ming army's trap. In fact, they didn't even want to break through Pyongyang, but were waiting here for us to come to them!"
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.
Remember https://m in one second.
Li Zhilan roared loudly, "Come over, rush into Pyongyang City, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
Although the isolated city cannot be defended, this is the only chance now. After entering Pyongyang City, there are still 50,000 horses left. Hold on in Pyongyang and wait for Lord Jingan's 20,000 cavalry to bypass the Ming army's back. Maybe they can still
Turn defeat into victory.
"Charge over! Charge 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 Koryo 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 at the Korean soldiers charging in front of him, with a sneer on his lips.
"King Yan is really beating me hard!"
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 heart, 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 towards him 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 waist knife, "I can think of how King Yan fought. King Yan liked to leave no room for action in battles, but for a general, the most important thing is to leave room for strong points.
Back up!"
Then, Lan Yu's waist knife touched the drawn map and continued, "This is the escape route of the Goryeo army. If we set up artillery on the high ground on both sides, we can secretly ambush a group of elite cavalry. Wait until the Goryeo army wants to capture it."
The high ground was used to ensure that when the army successfully broke through the encirclement, the army suddenly rushed out and captured the bandit chieftain alive. The Koryo army collapsed without a fight!"
"King Yan has already done a good job, old general, please don't criticize me too harshly!" Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly, "Actually, King Yan also has his own painstaking efforts. If he kills everyone over there, won't there be nothing left to gain here?
"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi pointed at the remnants of the Goryeo army that were advancing in formation, "Destroy them!"
"Here!" the generals behind him agreed, and their flags flew in an instant. The Ming army followed the order and moved.
"Everyone, move forward!"
After receiving the order, the officers in the Ming army formation and infantry position started shouting orders.
"Da Ming! Da Ming! Da Ming!"
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 Korea, our 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, take away our land, our wealth, and take away our personality! The people of the Ming Dynasty not only want people in our area to be slaves, but also our children and grandchildren, they must 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 preserve 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 Ming Dynasty! For the sake of Korea and for the sake of your Majesty, attack!"
"Kill!"
The Goryeo army formation roared to the sky, and then countless Goryeo 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 spear points 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 over under the reflection of the setting sun.
"Hundred steps!"
"Five hundred steps!"
"Four hundred steps!"
"Ready! 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 the thick white mist instantly enveloped the people and horses on both sides.
At the moment when the Ming army's artillery fire was fired, a thousand-man troop of cavalry hidden behind the infantry rushed out. A long dragon, covered by the smoke of the artillery, directly attacked 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.
"Capture the Ming army's artillery array!"
In the Goryeo Army, some brave and fearless soldiers 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!"
The Ming army's cavalry team, Prince Consort Li Jian, gave the order with an expressionless expression.
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. They were also mounted with lances and horse archers on both sides. The two sides suddenly collided on the battlefield. The war horses screamed.
Afterwards, the Ming army penetrated through 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.
"what is that?"
