Chapter 093
Xiangshan Pass is the last dangerous pass in Longchuan. It can be regarded as God's help. There is really a pass at this Xiangshan Pass. It was built by the Koreans. Although it is low and dilapidated, it is better than nothing after all.
.
There is actually a team of a thousand Korean soldiers guarding this Guanli, although their symbolic significance is far greater than their actual effect.
When 0,000 mine soldiers rushed here, these North Korean defenders actually put on a posture of defending to the death. No matter how Zhao Wannian tried to explain at the pass, they would not open the door.
Mao Zhongming became angry and said to the two battalion leaders: "Time is urgent now. There is no need to waste time with them. Now we will attack them immediately and seize Xiangguan."
Zhao Wannian really had no choice, so he nodded in agreement, and the 000 mine soldiers immediately set up an attack formation, preparing to launch an attack on Guangzhou.
The North Korean army guarding here is a special general of the fifth military camp, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's General Qian. As soon as he saw that the Ming Dynasty's army was really going to attack him, he immediately organized his troops and stood up on the wall to prepare.
Time was tight and there was no room for delay. Mao Zhongming did not wait to build any ladders, and directly led dozens of brothers to build a stack of arhats under the city. He personally stood at the top, wearing double armor, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and climbed up to the Xiangguan Gate.
climb.
General Xiangguan was shocked when he saw that the Ming army was serious. Seeing a strong general, he rushed forward without fear of death. At that time, he was in a dilemma. It was neither possible to fight nor to fight, so he picked up a
Sakura Gun held the bucket upside down and pointed it towards Mao Zhongming.
Mao Zhongming roared, threw away his shield, grabbed the wooden pole of the cherry gun, and took advantage of the unintentional pull to fly up the city wall. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he swung his fist and smashed it hard
On the face of this farewell general, his face was immediately filled with peach blossoms.
The soldiers around this special general did not dare to step forward to help, because there was a general from the overlord's country on the opposite side. If he was injured, it would be a serious crime in the future.
Mao Zhongming didn't really want to kill the other party, because he and the other party were still allies. If he really wanted to kill him, it would be a big mess, so the two of them had a hand-to-hand fight at the city gate.
How could that other general be Mao Zhongming's opponent? He was beaten to the ground in a few blows. At this time, Mao Zhongming's brothers had already jumped onto the city top.
The North Korean general couldn't do anything when he saw what was going on, so he covered his face with blood and fled directly from the south gate with his men to complain to his superiors.
After opening the door, Mao Youde took a strong sip at the North Korean soldier who was leaving in a hurry: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined. I have to give you a beating before you are willing to do so."
With the Xiang Pass in hand, a lot of work and effort were saved, so the army urgently began to reinforce the city defense.
At this time, Zhao Wannian suddenly shouted excitedly under the city wall: "Everyone, come and see, it's a good thing, it's really a good thing."
Everyone ran over to see what good things there were?
As a result, in a warehouse, everyone saw many good things.
The first thing that catches everyone's eyes are five black little guys, which are cannons. They are the Tiger Cannons commonly deployed in the Ming Dynasty's army.
The Tiger Cannon is a good thing. It is the predecessor of the mortar. This thing is not big, but it can be used for two purposes. It can fire projectiles when it is far away, and it can fire iron sand when it is close. It is easy to load and moves quickly. It is really rare.
weapon.
It is not surprising to find artillery here, because North Korea has been seriously influenced by the Ming Dynasty. Its army organization almost inherited the organization of the Ming army. In their ranks, they not only have swords, guns, bows and crossbows, but also according to the Ming Dynasty.
Established to standard, equipped with artillery and muskets.
With these five tiger cannons, everyone's confidence doubled. At this time, Mao Zhongming also shouted: "Look, look, there are so many gunpowder here, this is really an eye-opener for God."
Everyone ran over in a swarm, and sure enough they saw huge wooden barrels one after another, marked with Chinese characters. These were indeed gunpowder presented to the Korean army by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty. And the inventory was very large, with as many as a hundred barrels.
It is estimated that the North Korean army thought it was for nothing and did not feel sorry for the waste.
Wang Zhi, who was born as a miner and was very familiar with gunpowder, directly opened the lid of a bucket, grabbed a handful, smelled it carefully, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Good stuff, indeed good stuff." The miner was familiar with gunpowder.
I couldn't be more familiar with it, and I've played with it for a long time, so now I have someone who can take advantage of me.
We have gunpowder and cannons, but unfortunately there are no projectiles. The reason is that the superior management is very strict. If you lose the artillery, you will be punished, but the iron projectiles and lead are not included in this. As a result, these Korean soldiers took these
The pellets were quietly sold in exchange for wine.
In the end, dozens of firecrackers were discovered. Of course, no one dared to use these things, because the firecrackers in the Ming Dynasty's army were suicide weapons. Ten out of ten of them could explode with one shot. If you use them, you are not killing the enemy.
But commit suicide.
Fortunately, there are actually a hundred fighting knives unique to the Korean army in this library.
The dagger originated from Japan, but the Koreans lengthened the wooden handle of it. Just like the familiar Guan Gong knife, it cannot be used by those who are not strong. However, Koreans are small and have little strength, so this kind of knives are piled up in Japan.
Here, because who has nothing to do, dance with this stupid guy.
Mao Zhongming picked up a big knife and waved it a few times, and couldn't help but said: "Good thing, this is the real good thing. With this big knife, I can definitely kill a few more slaves."
Wang Zhi was also overjoyed. He thought for a moment and said immediately: "We immediately selected strong men from the army and equipped them with these one hundred knives to form a commando team, just like the Modao team in the Tang Dynasty. At the most critical moment, we
When the time comes, let them rush forward and it will definitely produce miraculous results."
This suggestion was immediately supported by everyone.
There are still many bows and arrows in the warehouse. Unfortunately, compared to the bows and arrows of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean bows at this time were much shorter and less lethal, so some of them were dispensable.
But this is already very satisfying, and it can also be regarded as an unexpected surprise. The reason why we can capture so many things is not, to be precise, there are so many gains, but it is also due to the attitude of the North Korean royal family.
Although they were at both ends of the spectrum, they did not dare to directly engage in a stalemate with the sovereign state. Therefore, Hou Jin was still their actual enemy. This elephant barrier was blocked in front of Longchuan, a key food-producing place in northern Korea. In order to prevent
The Hou Jin people came here to harass, so they strengthened the relevant defenses. As a result, Mao Wenlong got an advantage this time.
With these supplies, everyone has enough confidence to defend for three days. In the field battle, facing the coming army of 7,000 Jiannu, we can indeed defeat the Jiannu, but when it comes to defense, thousands
The experience accumulated over the years is definitely unmatched by any other nation.
With the replenishment of these supplies, everyone was confident that they could hold on for three days, so they made urgent preparations for a brutal battle.
Just when they were preparing for war urgently, Mao Wenlong's army arrived. Mao Wenlong first listened to the reports of four people. Everyone around Mao Wenlong felt very happy at that time and was full of confidence that they could hold on for three days.
Standing on the top of the city, looking at the army of civilians passing by continuously, Mao Wenlong frowned deeply.
Li Guangchun, who joined the army, walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "I see that the commander-in-chief is frowning, but I don't know what is on his mind."
Mao Wenlong whispered worriedly: "Don't you see it? This time, the Koreans not only drove you away from Dingzhou, but also blocked us from crossing here. Judging from this performance, it seems that it is difficult for us to pass through Iron Mountain.
It will not go smoothly. My expectation is that the North Koreans may not let us pass through Iron Mountain and enter Xuanchuan, their heartland."
Li Guangchun, who was originally happy that his brother could receive material supplements, was shocked by Mao Shuai's judgment.
"Shuai Mao said North Korea will stop us from continuing to move south?"
Mao Wenlong said worriedly: "It is very possible, and I think the possibility is very high."
Li Guangchun thought for a while and shook his head gently: "After all, we are the army of his sovereign country. In the past two years, it has become normal for Liaodong's army or people to take refuge in North Korea. I don't think the North Korean royal family will stop it this time.
We, after all, he doesn’t want to offend our Ming Dynasty.”
This is how people are. When faced with difficulties, they subconsciously avoid the difficulties as much as possible and always think in the best direction. This is a serious ostrich mentality.
But as a latecomer, Mao Wenlong is responsible for the life and death of tens of thousands of people. He must clearly understand the situation at hand. It is right to think the best, otherwise it will make people feel frustrated and lose the motivation to move forward. But think the worst, indeed
It is necessary to be mentally prepared for the worst, and at the same time hope to start from the worst and strive for the best outcome.
