Looking at the surging North Korean soldiers, Chen Cheng first bombarded the mountain passage with artillery, blocking the way, and then bombarded the Koreans as quickly as possible. When the first artillery shell exploded, the North Korean officers and soldiers
They were already confused. They only came to fight pirates, but they never thought of fighting the enemy to the death.
Cannonballs continued to explode in the crowd, and many people were blown into pieces. Everyone panicked, howling and running wildly on the road. Although the road was blocked, they threw away their weapons and armor, and still
The general who was able to get over was blown to pieces during the first bombardment. The soldiers had no one to restrain them at all. They completely lost their organization and could only run back desperately.
Chen Cheng asked his subordinates to load the artillery twice more. Lin Mengchu was responsible for firing the artillery each time, so her level rose rapidly. She is now in her twenties. The power of artillery is far beyond that of bows, arrows and swords.
Comparable.
After firing two more cannons, Chen Cheng put away the cannon and then ordered: "Everyone, follow me, don't get lost! Cui Chengxiu, raise my battle flag!"
"yes!"
A flaming red battle flag was erected, and more than ninety well-dressed soldiers rushed down from the mountain. They killed the enemies who dared to resist along the way, captured three to five hundred prisoners, and then fought all the way to the bottom of Pyongyang City. The people in the city
The main force that could fight had just collapsed, and the rest were just crooked melons and jujubes, trembling on the city wall looking at the pirates outside the city.
After capturing hundreds of prisoners of war, Chen Cheng no longer looked so shabby. Before, there were less than a hundred people. Even if they were well-dressed and armored, the number was still too small. Now there were hundreds of people, and they looked impressive.
It's completely different.
Chen Cheng raised a loud voice and went up to persuade him to surrender. The man went up and shouted: "Hey! Listen to the people inside, my king has said that if you open the city gate, everyone will be rewarded. If not, we will attack!"
Although there were only a few hundred people outside, Pyongyang had just been ravaged by the Jurchens not long ago. It had just suffered a huge defeat, and even the generals were killed. It was the time to be frightened. I didn’t dare to tell the difference after hearing the words.
On the top of the city, he begged and said: "Your Majesty, just say what you want, but you can't attack the city!"
If the city had not been broken, the worst case scenario would have been that the people outside would have been looted, but the officials would still be able to continue serving as officials, or at worst they would have been reprimanded. Anyway, we Koreans are used to being cowardly, and have always been left to chance. When the Japanese come
We were frightened when we heard the news, and even when the Jurchens came, they fled.
If you are forced by pirates and Japanese pirates to get out of the city, that's nothing. But if the city is broken, many people will lose their hats, and whether their heads will be cut off depends on the back.
Is the backing strong enough?
Therefore, the officials in Pyongyang did not dare to open the door or provoke the Japanese pirates. They had determined that these pirates were so fierce that they must be Japanese pirates. As for why the Japanese pirates came to Ping'an West Road, that is a mystery.
.
Of course Chen Cheng didn't care about the life and death of North Korean officials. Seeing that the people inside refused to open the door, he pulled out the Italian cannon. With one shot, the city gate suddenly opened, and the defenders on the top of the city immediately ran away.
After being completely wiped out, Chen Cheng rushed into Pyongyang City with hundreds of cavalry, and once again became Feng Fu.
This time, they robbed the city for two days. Chen Cheng plundered all the government offices and warehouses, including the walls and roofs. Three days later, the Korean soldiers from Wang Jing arrived. After the general entered the city, he saw that
He couldn't help but get angry and cursed: "Damn Japanese pirates!"
Those thieves not only robbed everything inside the city, but also demolished many houses. What's even more outrageous is that even a section of the city wall was demolished, exposing a huge gap.
Chen Cheng led his soldiers and horses back to the seaside, and placed those who were willing to work with His Excellency the Black Dragon King on the islands near the mouth of the Datong River. Some of them were afraid of the power of the government and ran away after grabbing things. The rest were determined to escape from the sea.
There are only more than three hundred thieves.
After leaving Cui Chengxiu to guard Xidao, Chen Cheng drove his boat around on the nearby sea. When he saw merchant ships, he went up to rob them, no matter which family they belonged to. He also robbed North Korean ships, and he would also rob Ming Dynasty ships.
.will also take the initiative to look for Korean warships. When they find them, there will be a "boom, boom, boom" and sink many North Korean naval warships.
Just when the pirates flying the Black Dragon flag were making trouble on the Bohai Sea, the young Emperor Tianqi grabbed his brother's hand, half helpless, half hopeful: "Come, my brother will be Yao and Shun!"
In this way, Emperor Apocalypse died and was replaced by Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen, who was younger than Emperor Apocalypse, was worried about the war in Liaodong and wanted to do something. Then he began his road to death. First, he abolished
Jin Yiwei then believed Yuan Chonghuan's deception and became very excited about the "Five Years Ping Liao" plan.
Of course we all know that during the five years of Ping Liao Ping, all the slaves were killed in Beijing. But to be fair, among the civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty, although Yuan Chonghuan was not the top, he was not the worst either.
He still had the courage to hold on to the city.
But he only had so much courage, and other than that, he only had ignorance and short-sightedness. In the sixth year of Tianqi, he coveted Mao Wenlong's elite soldiers and generals. Although those in the Dongjiang Army had poor equipment and poor food and salary
It was not enough, but he really dared to fight against Jiannu. So he sent his subordinate Xu Fuzuo to seduce the Lushun garrison under Mao Wenlong and lead more than 4,000 people to Liao Town.
At that time, Mao Wenlong only had 12,000 to 3,000 troops, so he directly took away one-third, seriously weakening the combat effectiveness of the Dongjiang Army. Afterwards, Emperor Tianqi ordered Xu Fuzuo to be killed, but Yuan Chonghuan overturned it.
go back.
Compared with the Dongjiang Army, which was poorly equipped but fought bravely, the generals in Liao Town were like quails. When Yuan Chonghuan became the governor of Jiliao and Minister of War, he impatiently killed Mao Wenlong and annexed the Dongjiang Army.
Soldiers and horses. And this behavior was actually approved by Emperor Chongzhen afterwards.
However, in the seventh year of Tianqi, Yuan Chonghuan was still busy making nonsense in the court and had no time to pay attention to the affairs of Liaodong.
The Kingdom of Korea first followed the Jurchens to attack Mao Wenlong's tribe, and suffered a disastrous failure. As a result, the Jiannu turned their backs and disowned them, turned around and beat the Koreans to the point where they knelt down to beg for mercy, extorted countless money and food, and captured tens of thousands of people.
.Originally, the Joseon Dynasty thought that the matter was over, and if they just said something nice to the Ming Dynasty, they would be able to fool them into attacking the Ming army with Jiannu. Who would have thought that the Japanese pirates would suddenly cause trouble again?
Pyongyang was looted again, and the faces of the North Koreans were thrown to the ground and stepped on over and over again. In anger, Li Zhu sent a large army of land and sea troops to attack. More than 6,000 people marched from Seoul in Gyeonggi Province.
He came out and took a warship to destroy the Japanese pirates entrenched on Xi Island.
"Oh, the Korean fleet is coming out!"
Lin Mengchu took a telescope and shouted: "Thirty, no, there are forty ships!"
Chen Cheng said "yes" and said: "I will sail the boat, and you will command the cannon!"
"good!"
Three thousand members of the North Korean Navy rushed to Xi Island together. Along the way, they saw the legendary "chut tug tug" ghost ship. It was indeed running very fast. Not only did it have no sails, but even the sailors who rowed the boat did not see it. It was worthy of being said.
It’s called a “ghost ship”. But even if it’s a ghost ship, how can it defeat so many of our ships?
"The enemy fleet is coming!"
Lin Mengchu shouted: "Can we fire now?"
Chen Cheng poked his head out of the cab and said, "Don't worry, we'll wait until we get to Xi Island."
So the North Korean navy chased the "ghost ship" all the way to Xi Island. On the island, two cannons had been placed, commanded by Korean Cui Chengxiu and a Liaodong native named Shang Yangwu respectively. Chen Cheng committed plunder in the Bohai Sea.
The Koreans also robbed, and the Ming Dynasty people also robbed. Among those kidnapped, there was this one named Shang Yangwu.
This man was originally from Liaodong. Like many people in the Dongjiang Army, his whole family was killed by slaves, and he only wanted to kill the Tatars. He didn't want to sacrifice his life for Chen Cheng at first, but Chen Cheng assured him that he would definitely do so in the future.
After going to fight the slaves, this man stayed behind and led dozens of Ming people who were also kidnapped.
The two cannons on the island are astonishingly powerful, but they must at least understand some ballistics to be able to exert their power. Shang Yangwu had read some books before and knew a few words, which was similar to Cui Chengxiu. After a few days of temporary training, Chen Cheng
It doesn't matter how accurate they are, as long as they can scare the Korean navy.
Xidao is already in sight. The general of the Korean navy is Yijufuyin Yi Wan, who is the nephew of the famous Korean anti-Japanese general Yi Sun-shin. After Yi Sun-shin was shot and died in the battle, Yi Wan, who was still very young at the time, commanded the navy to continue fighting.
, finally defeated the Japanese fleet, and became famous from then on, and then rose through the ranks until he reached the position of governor of Uiju.
However, although he was a famous general who dared to fight bloody battles with the Japanese navy when he was young, after being immersed in officialdom for so many years, his bloody bravery had long been lost. When the Jurchens came over, he and the Korean King Li
Just like him, he didn't dare to lead his troops into battle at all. When he heard that the enemy troops were coming, he ran away.
The Koreans of this era, or the Koreans since they broke away from China, are despicable and shameless, and they are especially embarrassed by the current Korean monarchs and ministers. Why! They do not miss the help of the Ming Dynasty decades ago at all.
They defeated the Japanese army and helped them regain their country. Instead, they attacked the Ming Dynasty general Mao Wenlong together with the Ming Dynasty's enemy Jianzhou Jurchen. Is there a more despicable and shameless country in the world?
Li Wan was originally indifferent to the war, but when he heard that he was going to exterminate hundreds of Japanese pirates, most of whom were Korean civilians, he regained his courage, so he came with an army of water and land, ready to wipe out the enemy.
At this time, seeing that they had arrived at Xi Island, they ordered several boats to be separated to watch the "ghost ship", while others went ashore to kill the thieves.
The plan was good, but something went wrong in the first step. The separated ships were far away and were turned into fireballs by the ghost ships. After two or three shots, several ships were scrapped. Sitting on the flagship
Li Wan heard the roar of cannons nearby, which was far stronger than before. He turned around and saw his own warships running away one after another, turning into burning torches on the sea.
