Chapter 23 The Wind Hasn't Stopped (1)(1/2)
The word "War" is sonorous and powerful, as if it comes from the mouth of a heroic man.
Li Chenggui's fifth son, Gao Li Jing'anjun, and Li Fangyuan walked out of the hall with his head held high and his chest held high. For a moment, it became the focus of everyone in the hall.
Father! Li Fangyuan knelt before Li Chenggui's throne and said loudly that Ming Dynasty clearly wanted to destroy our Goryeo. The 200,000 army has already gone to Goryeo. If you make peace again, it will only add to the laughter.
As he said that, he stood up, looked around his ministers, and continued to shout, even this time, we lost power and humiliated the country, cede land and pay compensation, and apologized for the Ming Dynasty to temporarily withdraw its troops. What next time? When he remembered it, send troops again. What should Goryeo give it to them? What should I satisfy them?
If this continues, Goryeo will become the fish on the Ming Dynasty chopping board, and they will let them take a knife. The wild beasts in the mountains still know that they will fight hard before they die. I, Goryeo, will be slaughtered by 100,000 soldiers? How can such a great humiliation be borne? How can future generations judge it thousands of years later?
Once this happens, even if it takes another thousand years, I, the Koreans, are just dogs who wag their tails and beg for mercy in the eyes of the Ming people!
After a while, the generals were bewitched and clenched their fists and agreed. The civil officials kept shaking their heads, obviously disagreed.
Jing'an Jun, those who know the times are heroes. The national strength is very different, and it is a plan for the people of Goryeo. You should not start a war without authorization! Ji Congliang said urgently that once the war begins, Goryeo's injuries will be a hundred times better than the Ming Dynasty! Then, he said to Li Chenggui anxiously, Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty is just the old land of the Mongolian Yuan in Liaodong and the land of the Tielingwei generation, and I will give it back to them!
What if they are not satisfied? Li Chenggui frowned.
Lord Ji wants to say that Pyongyang can also give them? Li Fangyuan touched and sneered, but I tell you, Ming Dynasty will never be satisfied, and they will want more if they have Pyongyang!
You say that war destroys the foundation of Goryeo. But if you don’t fight, Goryeo will become slaves! Li Fangyuan continued, their purpose is to erase the country of Goryeo. As the literati leader of Goryeo, you are too simple!
All ministers are dedicated to the country.........
Put away these high-sounding words! Li Fangyuan shouted, and then knelt down in front of Li Chenggui again. Father, it is impossible to seek peace. The envoy sent to the King of Yan has been killed!
ah!
The ministers in the hall were shocked and stunned.
Li Chenggui was also surprised. The two countries were fighting and came to war, and he...
They didn't take Goryeo and our Li family seriously! Li Fangyuan looked up and looked at his father, and continued to say that seeking peace is to bring shame upon oneself and seek death. Both you and my father and son will be engraved on the pillar of shame. Now, we can only face the challenge. Beating them, hurting them, let them have a memory, and not daring to underestimate us anymore is the only way to survive!
In this way, the country in Goryeo is in danger! Some of the civil officials shouted loudly, Your Highness, at least you have to try it, please seek peace!
Father! Li Fangyuan looked at the speaker and sneered. Haven’t you heard that allusion?
As he said that, he looked at the ministers who said they wanted peace. They could ask for peace, but our monarch of the Li family could not ask for peace!
These words came into Li Chenggui's heart. The ministers can surrender, but the king cannot surrender. These ministers have room for choice, but the king does not.
The Li family in Goryeo only has two ways, either to be king or die!
You said, how should I fight? Li Chenggui asked in a deep voice.
Judging from the Ming army's march route, they will definitely attack Pyongyang. Pyongyang is a Koryo city with 30,000 defenders. I asked my father to send another 70,000 elite troops to gather 100,000 to defend Pyongyang.
If Pyongyang fails to defeat him for a long time, the Ming army's patience will definitely be exhausted. As he said that, Li Fangyuan smiled confidently. Their head coach was the grandson of the Ming Dynasty. Although he has a noble status, he is a young man who has never fought a war. Such a person has an impatient temperament and lacks patience.
At the same time, he asked his father to transfer 15,000 elite cavalry, and his son-in-law personally led the north to bypass Pyongyang, penetrated directly to the back of the Ming army, cut off their supplies, and kept harassing them!
When the Ming army's final strength was exhausted, the father was raising all the troops from all over the country and attacking him head-on. As he said that, Li Fangyuan slapped his face, how did Emperor Yang of Sui be defeated? Now, how did the Ming Dynasty be defeated!
good!
Li Chenggui stood up on the throne, looked at the ministers, and said solemnly, "When I ascend the throne, I will serve the great country with fear and fear. But the country has no virtue and regards Goryeo as an enemy, and wants to get rid of it so quickly!"
The emperor of the Supreme Kingdom was angry and raised his troops and ignored the lives and death of the people of Goryeo. Although Goryeo was small, it was also passed down for thousands of years and was a country of etiquette. Our country and my race have a long history.
Since the country is not kind, don’t blame the country for being unrighteous. It is said that I am the king’s order, Qinghai Jun will command 70,000 troops and horses to support Pyongyang. Jing'an Jun will lead 20,000 cavalry and go north to meet the enemy!
I have decided to make a decision. If you dare to ask for peace again, you will be killed immediately!
~~~
In the bustling hustle and bustle, North Korea's resistance policy has finally been decided.
At this time, Zhu Yunxiu had already led the central army to capture a small town called Ningbian in front of Anzhou, Goryeo.
This place was originally annexed by the Mongol Yuan. After the Yuan King, the Mongol Yuan soldiers and generals surrendered to Goryeo. More than 100,000 Ming army came over to cover the sky and the sun. More than 1,000 defenders in the city had to put down their weapons and surrender and dared not resist.
The fields of Goryeo are more desolate than those of the Central Plains. In midsummer, cool breezes blow by the mountains.
Zhu Yunxiu was surrounded by hundreds of people, and he looked down at the small city that had been conquered by the Ming army. The city was too small and there was no fuel. Only one Ming army was plundering the city, and the rest of the army was still marching towards Anzhou.
The wind blew, and the fragrance of wild flowers at the tip of the nose was blowing. But it also blew into Zhu Yunxi's ears.
On the edge of the small town, the Goryeo army kneeling on the ground to surrender are waiting for the Ming army to succeed. In this era, it is not possible to save lives by surrendering.
A Qianhu, a Liaodong Dusi with a scar on his face, lifted the officers among the Goryeo soldiers and rectified the law on the spot.
As the sword brushed, the sharp blade flashed in the sunlight, the food around them turned blood red in the frightened eyes of the Korean soldiers.
Then, the Ming army's thousand households, holding another pole, began to check among the thousands of Korean soldiers.
Zhu Yunxiu watched coldly and said, "Is this?"
Lan Yu smiled behind her and said, "Your Highness was leading the army for the first time, and I don't know these things." As she said that, she paused, and one out of ten to kill, and used it to shock her! As she said that, she paused again. It was originally five out of five out of five, but I thought of Your Highness's kindness, so I showed mercy under the knife!
Li Jinglong, on the other side behind Zhu Yunxiu, exclaimed, Your Highness's compassionate heart moved the world!
In the wilderness, if the long pole of the thousand-household households is pointed to, the Korean soldier will be stabbed and his head will be different.
Hajima! Hajima! (No)
Colorful six dishes! (Thank you)
The Goryeo soldiers were trembling and wailing, and their faces were filled with tears.
At the moment of war, Zhu Yunxiu turned around and turned around and asked, how far is it from Anzhou? Can you arrive today?
The marching is urgent, and the vanguard can arrive! Fu Rang, as the commemorative officer, spoke.
He ordered Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, to be the vanguard and quickly headed to the city of Anzhou. After saying that, he clamped his crotch and got on the belly of the horse, and walked, let's go to the front army to capture Anzhou!
Follow Your Highness! Li Jinglong shouted loudly, and he was half a step behind Zhu Yunsheng.
~~
The front army was lightly equipped and the speed was extremely fast. It was the morning when it captured Ningbian. Before sunset, 30,000 front army had already arrived at the city of Anzhou.
This is also considered a city?
Zhu Yun's horse was blocked, looked at the city in front of him, and spoke.
Anzhou in front of him can be regarded as a famous city in the north of Goryeo. Moreover, because it is a barrier to Pyongyang, there are more than 5,000 troops stationed in the city.
But this city does not look like a city. The city wall is made of rammed earth, which is not like the Ming Dynasty. The rammed earth wall is also covered with huge bluestone bricks.
However, although this city is not good-looking, there are many horse-faced battlements and archways. The figures of people swaying on the city walls, and the sound of golden drums preparing for war are endless.
Your Highness, give me an hour to capture this city for you! The old minister, Marquis of Jingchuan, loudly asked for battle in front of the formation.
When he was in the capital, the old army was wearing a marquis python suit and looked a little disrespectful. However, after he arrived at the front line, he was wearing armor and his eyes wide open, as if he was killing a god.
Zhu Yunxiu spoke slowly and tried to attack. If he couldn't attack, don't show off. Put your children's lives first!
Don’t worry, your highness, look at the old minister’s methods!
Cao Zhen grinned, licked his lips with a scarlet tongue, ran to the army, shouting loudly, "My sons, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince gave us the first merit of breaking the city, and show off his skills, don't underestimate it!"
Follow me, rushed in, and saw people killing people, and saw gods killing gods!
Rush in, it's so hard to grab it!
Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Cao Zhen’s army was filled with joy.
Amid the shouts, Zhu Yunqi turned his head slightly, "What did Cao Zhen do before?"
Lan Yu smiled softly, Your Highness, Cao Zhen was a famous green forest hero in Huaixi back then. He was also known as the Huaixi bandits!
Haha! Zhu Yunxiu chuckled, no wonder he had nothing else to say except rob and kill!
The Ming army commanded the orders and the departments cooperated like machines. After the order to siege the city was issued, the departments began to move forward in turn.
Although it was a front army, there were no heavy siege weapons in the army. In an instant, the soldiers began to set up simple wooden ladders two hundred steps away from the Anzhou city wall.
It is not a ladder for climbing walls, but a wooden platform that allows archers to stand on top and suppress fire on the city.
At this time, the counterattack in Anzhou City also began, and the Goryeo archers began to counterattack at the Ming army. However, the Ming army was chopped behind the one-man-high large Mongolian iron shield. Even if they were shot, they could not wear through the cotton armor and iron armor on their bodies.
Zhu Yunxiu saw with his own eyes that a Ming army warrior was walking around the city of Anzhou and was shot like a hedgehog, still jumping around.
While building a wooden platform at the city, the Ming army used long-range weapons such as crossbow arrows to counterattack. The Ming infantry siege crossbows were stuck in the slot of the crossbow machine like a spear. Three strong men stirred the turntable and then fired it with an iron hammer.
In an instant, several gaps were suddenly shot out by huge crossbows on the earthen city, and the archers of the Ming army launched even more and more overwhelming bows and arrows, scattering on the city like raindrops.
There was a scream at the top of the city, and from time to time, Goryeo soldiers who were howling fell from the city wall three or four feet high.
The commander of the rear army, hurry up the cannon! Zhu Yunxiu frowned and said, looking at the battle situation.
Your Highness, don’t be anxious! Lan Yu smiled and said, “It’s just a matter of time before the city is broken.” As he said that, he laughed again. This is the countless skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty who can supply all kinds of equipment. When there were no things in the past, they just climbed the city wall with a knife in their hands.
Daming's man, you can't fight hard with your flesh and blood! Zhu Yunxiu looked at the battlefield and said, "We people from Daming are so precious!"
At this time, on the battlefield, the Ming army suddenly cheered like a shock.
Under the cover of archers and siege crossbows, the Ming army's siege hammer was pushed under the Anzhou city gate.
The siege hammer, made of hundreds of years of giant wood, weighs a thousand pounds, has sharpened its front and hits the city gate in the movements of hundreds of strongmen like bells.
Dong, Dong, the city gate trembles constantly under the impact of the siege hammer. On the siege hammer is a frame of wood, wrapped in iron sheets, and cannot be shot through the bow and arrow. Even if the rock rolls down, it can only be a gap and can still be protected from tincture oil.
Brothers, work harder, hey hey!
