Just before the old general had time to speak, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from far to near, and reached everyone's ears.

Then, a cavalry scout jumped off his war horse and hurriedly trotted towards Ren Zu.

"King, urgent military information... On the official road fifty miles behind us, we found a large Japanese pirate army with a total force of 40,000. At present, this Japanese pirate army is rushing here at an urgent marching speed. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow morning, the Japanese pirate army will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang..."

"Japanese pirates... Do the Japanese pirates also want to occupy Pyongyang..." Speaking of this, a smile full of self-deprecating smile appeared on Ren Zu's face.

Then, with a look of despair, he continued, "We can't do anything to them for more than 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Army... Now, with 40,000 Japanese pirates, we can't do anything to them... Old General, do you think that I still have the strength to fight against two powerful enemies with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers..." After Ren Zu finished speaking, except for the old general, everyone else showed a look of despair.

As the atmosphere around Ren Zu became more and more serious, the old general's eyes suddenly lit up and he continued to speak: "No, the king, the old minister thinks that the arrival of the Japanese pirate army will not only not pose a threat to us, but will also help us regain Pyongyang from the Tiger and Leopard Army to a certain extent..."

Seeing the puzzled expression that quickly appeared on Ren Zu's face, the old general continued: "King, the purpose of the Japanese pirate army coming in a hurry is very obvious, that is, to seize Pyongyang."

"The reason for saying this is very simple... Almost half of the wealth of North Korea is concentrated in Pyongyang. Although the Japanese pirates occupy South Korea, they can find less than half of the wealth they can plunder in South Korea. In this case, the Japanese pirates will never watch Pyongyang's huge wealth fall into the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army."

"Since that's the case, we can completely withdraw from the battlefield and let the Japanese pirates and the Tiger and Leopard Army fight a good battle in Pyongyang and consume each other's strength. In this way, the king can reap the benefits of the fisherman and take Pyongyang at the minimum price..."

Seeing that hope was rekindled on Ren Zu's face, the old general continued.

"Of course, during this waiting process, the king should do one more thing, that is, recruit soldiers and expand the army. Although the Tiger and Leopard Army occupied Pyongyang, there were not many people in Pyongyang City except for the Minister of Kings and Gongshu..."

"As long as we send troops deep into surrounding villages and towns, we can definitely recruit enough troops to expand the army in a short period of time..."

At this time, the despair on Ren Zu's face had completely disappeared. After regaining his confidence, he glanced at the old general with gratitude and said loudly: "Just do as the old general says, withdraw troops immediately. Expand the army, reap the benefits of the fisherman, and regain Pyongyang."

More than 10,000 Korean troops disappeared into the vast mountains outside Pyongyang City after just two hours under Zhao Yun's gaze.

Just as Zhao Yun was puzzled and wondering why the Korean army retreated in such a hurry. The news that the Japanese pirate army had been in the city for more than 30 miles away was just about to reach Zhao Yun's ears.

So, Zhao Yun's face was full of confusion and a sudden enlightenment directly appeared.

As several division commanders watched, they said calmly: "So that's it. It seems that there are smart people in the Korean army who know to avoid the edge for the time being and reap the benefits of the fisherman..."

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, the commander of the 7th Division, who had reacted, echoed: "The 40,000 Japanese pirate army is more than twice that of the Korean army. Faced with such a strong enemy, if the Korean army does not take the initiative to retreat, after the Japanese pirate army comes, they will definitely be the first one to eliminate. After all, they do not have city walls to protect..."

"Instead of being killed outside the city and being eliminated by the Japanese pirates, it is better to hide now and wait until we fight with the Japanese pirates and get both losses and then come out to reap the benefits... However, although the Korean army has a good idea, who can guarantee that the result of our fight with the Japanese pirates will be both losses..."

"I want to say it right. If we can easily defeat 40,000 Korean troops, we can easily defeat 40,000 Japanese pirates..."

"Isn't it just 40,000 Japanese pirates... As long as they dare to come, we will dare to destroy them and let them never return..."

After just experiencing a bloody battle and not seemingly enough to fight, the calm facial expressions became hot one after another. He whistled at Zhao Yun with a look of eagerness to try.

At this time, Zhao Yun spoke again: "It is a good thing to have morale, but don't be too arrogant..."

"Before we set off, the general told me that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese pirates was far greater than that of the Korean army. In addition, the Japanese pirates produced a lot of copper, so the Japanese pirates were equipped with a large number of bronze cannons. Although they were not as good as our heavy artillery and mortars, we still couldn't Xiaoxu. After all, there were 20,000 Korean troops hidden in the surrounding mountains, and we must leave enough troops to deal with them..."

Compared with the poor equipment of the Korean army, the equipment of the Japanese pirate army can even reach the level of the Ming Dynasty's official army to a certain extent.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

Because Japanese pirates are island countries, many commodities need to be transported by sea before they can enter the country. Therefore, Japanese pirates' shipping and trade are very developed.

Under such circumstances, there are many opportunities for Japanese pirates to contact the outside world.

After getting in touch with more, the advanced firearms from the Ming Dynasty and Europe began to slowly go to the Japanese Pirate Island.

In addition, the Japanese pirates produced brass that many countries did not have. The brass alone brought Japanese pirates a lot of firearms to equip the army.

In order to attack North Korea and obtain iron ore that it does not have from North Korea, the Tokugawa Shogunate equipped the most exquisite firearms into the hands of the expedition army, hoping that this expedition army could bring unexpected results to them in North Korea.

Therefore, among the 40,000 Japanese pirates attacking Pyongyang, 10,000 people were directly equipped with the Mine official army equipped with the Mine.

Not only that, the 40,000 Japanese pirate army was equipped with more than 500 bronze cannons.

It is precisely because of this strength that the chief general of the Japanese pirate army, after learning that Pyongyang was occupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army, had the confidence to lead the army and rushed to Pyongyang all the way, intending to snatch Pyongyang, which should have belonged to the Japanese pirates from the Tiger and Leopard Army...

As the army got closer and closer to Pyongyang, the battle between Pyongyang just ended, it also penetrated the ears of the Japanese pirates' commander.

When he learned that more than 20,000 Korean troops were destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army outside Pyongyang City, although the main general was shocked by the strong combat power shown by the Tiger and Leopard Army, he did not take it too seriously.

In his eyes, if he was the one who guarded the city, he could have achieved such great results.
