The first thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine chapters are unfavorable in the first battle
It seems that God does not want the Northern Army to use force at this time. After the thousands of Northern Army troops set off, the weather in North Korea changed. The sky was clear for several days, and then suddenly it started to rain heavily. On the roads in North Korea,
It was all muddy, making the Northern Army cavalry very embarrassed. However, North Korea was too small, and the Northern Army quickly reached the gates of Pyongyang.
Thousands of cavalrymen of the Northern Army arrived at Pyongyang City. When they saw that there were only less than two thousand island soldiers on the city wall, their confidence immediately increased. The commander-in-chief immediately issued the order to attack. He didn't even give his men lunch, and he waited arrogantly.
Then go into town and have lunch.
The Northern Army was indeed powerful. Using its powerful cavalry and shooting capabilities, the Northern Army overwhelmed the island nation's soldiers in the first battle. After several rounds of mounted shooting, they actually shot and killed hundreds of island nation soldiers. Now the Northern Army became even more arrogant, and the commander-in-chief directly
Ordered a general attack.
There were less than two thousand people on the wall of the island country. They were suppressed by bows and arrows and could not even raise their heads. Seeing thousands of cavalry all rushing up, the remaining soldiers of the island country retreated directly into the city. The Northern Army was overjoyed and felt that victory was in sight. There was no trace of victory.
He hesitated and rushed directly into Pyongyang with his men.
This played into the island country's ambitions. The island country's army was basically infantry. They knew that on the frontal battlefield, even if they were twice as large as the enemy, they would not be able to defeat the elite cavalry of the Central Plains. From the beginning, the island country had no intention of fighting a frontal war.
All its troops were hidden in the city, preparing for street battles with the Central Plains. Due to the rain, coupled with the Northern Army's cavalry, high-intensity rapid marches, and no time for maintenance, the cavalry horses' hoofs were ulcerated, leaving people with their families.
Desperately, the commander-in-chief did not know how to make good use of the cavalry and did not understand street fighting at all. Instead, he led his troops into the city of Pyongyang hastily. There were many narrow alleys in the city. Not only were the cavalry unable to charge, but the horses even became a drag.
Island warriors and martial arts practitioners have all been exposed to ninjutsu more or less, and are best at ambush and assassination. The environment in the narrow alleys of Pyongyang infinitely amplified the advantages of Japanese pirates. After entering the city, the cavalry of the Northern Army encountered
There were several ambushes and assassinations, which resulted in heavy losses.
Although there is no advantage, with the strong strength of the army, it can still exchange the soldiers of the island country for one. The arrogant commander did not order a retreat, but continued to attack fiercely, but he underestimated the number of people from the island country. If
It is really only one or two thousand people. Maybe they can still capture Pyongyang at a great cost, but there are more than one or two thousand Japanese pirates in Pyongyang.
"Brothers, kill! As long as the people in front are killed, the island nation's troops will almost collapse!" However, after they were destroyed, many island nation people rushed out.
There were more and more Japanese pirates, and they were threatening to surround the Northern Army. At this time, the commander-in-chief finally realized that his intelligence had gone wrong. With a green face, he ordered a retreat. However, at this time, he wanted to retreat, but that was not the case.
To put it simply, facing a steady stream of Japanese pirates, the Northern Army could only fight to the death to break through.
In the end, only a few hundred of this thousands-strong force successfully broke through, and the rest all stayed in Pyongyang. Although these hundreds of people broke out of Pyongyang, they were not out of danger. The islanders obviously did not want to let go.
They left them alone, and actually sent thousands of people to chase them. Several hundred people from the Northern Army ran all the way. It is said that it would be easy to get rid of all the army, but the problem was that many of the hooves of the Northern Army's war horses were rotten.
, there is no way to speed it up at all.
There was really no other way to do it. The less than a thousand Northern Army cavalry simply ran to a county town that the North Korean soldiers had just taken over! They wanted to use the defense of the city to block the islanders. During the battle of Pyongyang, the pro-military Duwei Mansion monitored the entire process.
, Zeng Yi quickly got the news.
"Haha, why don't you listen to me, so you should stop cooking now! Mad, it's a pity for those imperial warriors, because of the arrogance of their leader, they lost their lives in vain!"
"There are indeed more than a few thousand people in Pyongyang. According to current news, the island country has put at least 10,000 soldiers in Pyongyang."
The unfavorable situation in the first battle quickly returned to the court. The court was furious. The old prince warned the Northern Army's general with extremely stern words. After the Northern Army learned about it, it was also very angry. The Northern Army itself did not expect that the general
The soldiers actually took the initiative to attack Pyongyang City!
However, no matter how angry it was, the Northern Army did not want its own people to be punished. It quickly issued an investigation report and put all the blame on North Korea, saying that North Korea's military situation was untrue. North Korean intelligence pointed out that there were only more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers in Pyongyang. In fact,
After the battle, it was estimated that the number of Japanese troops was tens of thousands. Seeing the virtue of the Northern Army, Zeng Yi secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, otherwise this wave of Northern troops would definitely drag the pro-army captain's house into trouble.
North Korea was shocked when they learned that the Northern Army had failed in the first battle. Especially when they learned that the reason for the Northern Army's failure was attributed to North Korea's false intelligence, they became even more frightened. They immediately sent officials to beg the Northern Army to enter North Korea with its main force as soon as possible.
The army was almost ready. However, the pro-military captain's office sent the latest information and learned about the road conditions in North Korea. The Northern Army decided to make preparations in advance, otherwise the hoofs of war horses would ulcerate again, which would be troublesome.
It's good to be prepared, but it's not good for North Korea. North Korea can't wait any longer.
The North Korean envoy Li Dexin repeatedly wrote to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army in Liaodong, and cried bitterly day and night under the governor's tent. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army was really left with no choice but to send out troops again, but this time it was not thousands. The Northern Army directly
A force of ten thousand people composed of infantry, cavalry and archers was dispatched.
As this 10,000-strong force entered the DPRK, the panic situation in northern North Korea was finally relieved a lot. This 10,000-person force was not idle either. After entering the DPRK, the troops were immediately divided into two groups, and one group was stationed in Uiju.
Prepare for the arrival of the main force of the Northern Army, and send all the troops to attack the small town occupied by the Northern Army. Although there are only a few hundred people and they violate military orders, the Northern Army still has to save it!
It was actually very easy to save the few hundred people of the northern army who were still alive. When a large army of more than 5,000 people appeared nearby, the people of the island country took the initiative to retreat. Although the island country had just wiped out thousands of people from the Central Plains
, but there is no arrogance at all. They know that in frontal combat, they are no match for the well-equipped Central Plains soldiers.
Several hundred people from the vanguard of the Northern Army were easily rescued. However, as soon as they returned to Uiju, the arrogant commander-in-chief was captured. He made his own decisions, violated military orders, and led his men to attack Pyongyang without permission.
It caused huge casualties to the troops, and someone must take responsibility for this. (To be continued)
