"Hundreds of artillery bombardment at the same time? You haven't even met the Ming army once, but there are tens of thousands of Ming troops. You have to be able to brag a little bit, okay?"
Muduka and Etuozhen, who were kneeling behind Guhato, felt their scalps numb and their hearts beating faster. Only then did they realize that their immediate boss, who they thought was grumpy and murderous, was also lying.
It's so smooth.
As soon as Guhato finished speaking, the faces of Amin and the surrounding generals suddenly turned serious.
Amin immediately dismounted, reached out and grabbed Guhatuo by the lapel and pulled him up. With a ferocious look on his face, he shouted: "What did you say? The Ming army really came in ten large ships, and they even surrendered."
Did you send more than 10,000 troops and horses?"
"How dare I deceive my master? I was outnumbered but still led my troops to resist desperately. After killing thousands of enemy troops, I broke out and reported to my master. If my master didn't believe me, I even brought hundreds of Ming army heads."
.”
Seeing Gu Hato crying so hard that he was out of breath, Amin's expression changed rapidly. He looked at the heads hanging on the waists of the Qing soldiers behind Gu Hato, and his expression softened a little.
He said: "If this is the case, it would be excusable for you to be defeated. Let me ask you, what is the banner of those Ming troops?"
"It's the sun and moon flag, master, it's the sun and moon flag!" Guhato replied quickly.
"Touch!" Amin was so angry that he kicked him on the spot, knocking Gu Hato upside down while he was kneeling on the ground.
Amin was so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry: "You idiot, even a fool knows that the Ming army is flying the sun and moon flag. I'm asking you which general's number the Ming army is flying.
In other words, who is the general of the Ming army who leads the team?"
"This..." Guhato was stunned for a moment and turned his head back, looking at Muduka, and Etuozhen said: "It's up to you to talk about this."
Although they were disdainful of Gu Hato's lies, in order to save their lives, the two of them had to cooperate and said: "Sir, those Ming troops flew a big flag with the word "Pang" written on it, and the Ming army's
Firearms are very sharp, and many of our warriors have fallen into their hands."
"Surnamed Pang? Sharp firearms?" Amin turned his head and murmured a few words before looking at each other with Shuotuo and others. Only one person's name appeared in his mind at the same time: "Pang Gang! It must be that Qingzhou army.
Pang Gang, the leader!"
"Yes, it must be him, otherwise I can't think of any army in the Ming Dynasty that would have the courage to go against our Qing Dynasty!" Shuotuo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with certainty.
Although the news that Azig and Abatai returned home defeated in Beijing at the beginning of the year has been silenced by the superiors, there were tens of thousands of Qing troops fighting with the Ming army at that time. This news must not be concealed.
, Amin, a high-ranking figure in the Qing Dynasty, naturally has no reason not to know.
Although he secretly laughed at Azig and Abatai when he first heard the news, like many others, he also firmly remembered the name Pang Gang in his heart.
The Ming army who fought a bloody path among tens of thousands of troops was not an easy person, so now when Amin and everyone heard this name, they couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts.
Gu Hato had never heard of Pang Gang's name due to his low official position, so when he saw the solemn expressions on the faces of Erbeile and others, he felt uneasy and asked hesitantly: "Master, what Pang Gang is so powerful?"
?"
Amin glared at him angrily: "Have you not seen with your own eyes whether he is powerful or not? But it took him more than 10,000 people to defeat one of your Jia La, and you also killed more than 1,000 people.
It's said to be more powerful than the average Ming army, but I guess it's not that much more powerful."
Listening to Amin's Chinese language, Muduka, who was still kneeling on the ground, sweat rolled down his forehead. It seemed that this lie was getting bigger and bigger. The Ming army would arrive soon. If
If the lies of my group are exposed, I am afraid that not only will they die, but their relatives in the clan will also suffer. Thinking of this, everyone's faces and bodies are sweating even more.
But Amin, who was standing opposite them, didn't think so much. He was cruel and belligerent and suddenly felt excited when he thought that he was about to fight against this wise general who had caused great losses to Abatai and Azig.
"Okay, okay... I finally get to fight with that wise general named Pang Gang. This time I want to see what kind of person can make my two good cousins suffer a lot."
It seems that if I defeat him or even capture him alive and bring him back to Shengjingjiala Zhangjing, I'm afraid it's not impossible that he will be crowned a prince immediately." Thinking of this, Amin couldn't help but get excited all over.
He turned to Shuotuo and said: "Shuotuo, you immediately lead two to three Jia La troops to block the south gate for me, and immediately attack the city with all your strength. Those Ming troops must be here to rescue those Koreans.
, if we can break through Nanshan Seoul before the Ming army arrives, we can turn around and annihilate this Ming army. This is a great achievement, and we must not let it go!" Although Amin is cruel, but
It doesn't mean that his IQ is low, on the contrary, he has a keen intuition about the battlefield!
Shuotuo also knew what it would mean if he could defeat this Ming army. Once this Ming army, which had caused great losses to Abatai and Azig, was defeated by himself and others, it would mean that he and others would be better than Azig.
Ge and Abatai were more heroic and adept at fighting. I think Huang Taiji would have been embarrassed not to give himself the title of Batulu.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly responded and led four to five thousand people to the south gate.
After Shuotuo led the people away, Amin held his chin with his hand and thought for a moment. Although he brought more than 50,000 troops to the DPRK this time, he dispersed his troops to garrison in checkpoint towns along the way. Now he only has less than four in hand.
Ten thousand people, at least 30,000 people are needed to attack the city. It is not impossible to completely annihilate this Ming army with the remaining 10,000 mobile troops, but it is estimated that a certain price must be paid, and if this price is too heavy
If so, he couldn't explain it to Huang Taiji. It would be best if the Ming army could arrive after he captured Nanshan Seoul.
Thinking of this, Amin moved his banner a mile forward and began to personally urge the Qing soldiers to attack the city. Seeing Lord Beile in front of the battle, the Qing soldiers who were attacking the city all gave out loud cheers.
With the sound of the sound, countless horse-armored infantry and even auxiliary soldiers moved forward bravely like chicken blood. For a time, Nanshan Seoul, which was already struggling, was even more shaky.
Li Shu, who was hiding in a big house in Seoul, Nanshan, also heard the surging cheers outside the city. He knew that after the cheers, the Qing soldiers must have attacked the city with all their strength. The more than 10,000 soldiers on his side were probably unable to withstand it.
Living.
"Is the foundation laid by our ancestors going to be destroyed in Gu's hands today?" Thinking of this, Li Zhu couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
When Li Zhu was sad, a gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and a pair of soft jade hands gently massaged Li Zhu's head. Li Zhu didn't need to look back to know that his most beloved concubine had arrived.
He sighed softly: "Xianfei, it seems that today I and you are going to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same destiny."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian whispered without thinking: "It is my blessing to die with the king. Unfortunately, there is still no news from the Ming army. I really don't know when they will come."
"So what if they can come? How can they get in with so many Qing soldiers outside? Forget it, I'd better go to the city wall to watch the battle."
"What, Your Highness, are you going to go to the city wall? It's too dangerous!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian stopped Li Yan without thinking.
Li Zhu stopped, caressed Concubine Xian's hair and sighed: "My concubine's words are wrong. Isn't it dangerous for the lonely king to hide here? When the city is broken, we will not escape death. Instead of this
It would be better to lead the city on the wall and then die together for the country."
Concubine Xian was speechless and could only cry: "In that case, let me accompany His Highness to the city. Even if I die, I will die with His Highness."
Seeing Concubine Xian's rare persistence, Li Jie had no choice but to take Concubine Xian to the north wall with him, and this was where the Qing soldiers attacked the most fiercely.
With the support of hundreds of guards, Li Zhu and his wife slowly climbed onto the tower. As soon as they climbed onto the tower, they were immediately frightened by the scene of arrows flying on the wall and the sound of killings shaking the sky.
I saw groups of Qing soldiers swarming up like locusts under the city wall. Everyone was fighting bravely to be first. The archers also shot their arrows upwards with all their strength. The pressure was so heavy that the Korean soldiers on the city wall did not even dare to look out.
Those who probed were quickly overwhelmed by the rain of arrowheads, and they had to hide behind the battlements to fight back with rolling stones or logs.
Seeing such a scene, Li Zhu sighed secretly and said to the guards beside him: "Come here, raise Gu's flag too. Gu wants to let the soldiers know that Gu is with them at this moment."
"yes!"
Seeing the guards follow the order and leave, Concubine Xian was a little worried and was about to say something, but she had no choice but to swallow her words after seeing Li Zhu's determined eyes.
When the big flag representing the Korean royal family was flying on the city wall, the Korean soldiers on the wall also let out bursts of cheers. The number of defenders suddenly increased a lot. Many soldiers braved the flying arrows and stuck their heads out of the battlements to look outside.
Shooting arrows or using spears and broadswords to wave down, the already shaky defense line was quickly stabilized.
Listening to the large flag representing the Korean royal family that suddenly appeared on the city wall, the corners of Amin's mouth curved upward, "Li Jie, Li Jie, I didn't expect that you would really dare to come to the battle in person and even use your own flag."
It turns out you still have some courage. That’s good, otherwise wouldn’t it be too unfulfilling to capture Nanshan Seoul like this?”
He turned to Goshiha, the man next to him, and said: "Pass this order, whoever captures Li Zhu alive will be rewarded five thousand taels of silver, five hundred cattle and sheep each, and twenty slaves!"
When Amin's order was conveyed, the Qing army cheered again in front of the formation, and countless Qing soldiers swarmed towards the city wall. The already crumbling Nanshan Seoul was immediately in danger.
