Chapter 31: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North
Hong Tai didn't want to fight with the extremely poor Dongjiang Army in winter. Those people under Mao Wenlong were poor and unruly, but it was impossible without fighting. They were almost blocked last year. This year at least
Weaken Dongjiang Town first, then they can continue south to rescue Li Zhu.
The two sides had another chaotic battle on the Yalu River, and both sides injured a lot of soldiers. But in general, the Dongjiang Army suffered more casualties. Who said their equipment was too bad? Fighting, the south side
Chen Cheng's help is here.
Haru Kawanaka was also a down-and-out samurai from Japan. He had a poor family, but he was arrogant. He heard that someone in Kyushu was recruiting samurai to fight in Korea, so he signed up without even thinking about it. After receiving a settling-in allowance of two hundred mon, he came.
He came to Korea. He was more than 1.8 meters tall. When the Japanese were generally 1.51 meters tall, he simply stood out from the crowd. After Chen Cheng saw him, he directly appointed him as the commander of five to six hundred people, with a salary of 100,000 yuan for each person.
One hundred stones per month!
One hundred dan per month, which is 1,200 dan per year, military pay for wars, and rewards for winning battles. What else is there to say? Haruya Kawanaka bowed down and swore allegiance to the two great kings.
Moreover, King Chen is so burly, half a head taller than him, so what if he is a pirate? Now that he has occupied most of North Korea, it is only a matter of time before he becomes king.
No, His Excellency Lin Mengchu has already claimed to be the Black Dragon King. Hey, if you think about it this way, who is the bigger one, King Chen or the Black Dragon King? It's okay when the two orders are consistent, but what if the orders are inconsistent?
After thinking for a while, Haru Kawanaka couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it. He raised his whip and hit a Korean man, beating the man until he screamed. These Koreans were regarded as "taking the place of horses and losing pawns"
They were originally two classes of nobles, but because they opposed Chen Cheng, mainly the Black Dragon King's brutal rule, their homes were confiscated.
Those who had committed serious crimes had been either beheaded or hanged after the "struggle meeting". The remaining ones were those who had committed less serious crimes or were the family members of the criminals. Before leaving, Chen Cheng explained that things
After they were all delivered to Mao Wenlong, these people were also given to Dongjiang Town.
North Korea is now launching a vigorous agrarian revolution. These people are all class enemies. It is best to die outside. Anyway, they are not allowed to go back and hinder the North Korean people from living a happy life.
When he heard that a group of Japanese pirates ran behind his house, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be shocked, "What the hell is North Korea? Why are there Japanese pirates again?"
Fortunately, Shang Yangwu came with him. After some explanations, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be overjoyed. This time Chen Cheng sent more than 10,000 stones of food, 3,000 pieces of armor, 6,000 swords and guns, and a hundred shotguns.
After obtaining these things, Mao Wenlong's strength greatly increased, and he and Jian Nu were killed in the dark waters of Baishan Mountain.
Hong Tai has a huge headache against the Dongjiang Army. These guys have average combat effectiveness in head-to-head combat, but they have an extremely strong will to fight. They will pounce on them and take a bite whenever they have the opportunity. Those sporadic strongholds and peripheral fortresses are unknown to the Dongjiang Army.
How much was chewed up.
He really wanted to kill Mao Wenlong in one go, but after fighting for dozens of days, he still failed to completely defeat the enemy. On the contrary, the Dongjiang Army seemed to be getting stronger with the war. There were Koreans under Jiannu's command, and Haru Kawanaka was also escorted there.
Some of the two groups of nobles have escaped. Once they tell the story, everything will become clear.
Hong Tai no longer entangled with Mao Wenlong, and led his army directly south to find trouble with the Japanese pirates. Among them, Amin was the most excited. He wanted to occupy North Korea and dominate one side last year, but Hong Tai was pushed back.
I started all over again this year, and it can be said that I am very familiar with the journey.
After Kawanaka Haruya handed the things to Dongjiang Town, he immediately turned around and ran all the way to Pyongyang, and then prepared to defend the city. Jiannu is used to being arrogant. Now that he has come to North Korea, how could he not come and grab one? Dog
You will always come back when you are hungry. Although this metaphor is not quite right, it is quite appropriate when applied to Jiannu.
Sure enough, Kawanaka Haruya's troops had just entered the city, and Amin, Jirharang, and Yue Tuo had already led their troops to the city. These people swept North Korea at the beginning of last year and did not pay attention to the North Korean soldiers and horses.
Here, he was very arrogant and started to rob the city without doing any reconnaissance or anything.
On the top of the city, Chen Cheng looked at the surging Jurchens and repeated the order again, "No shooting is allowed without an order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"yes!"
The city wall had not been repaired, and a large gap was clearly visible. Behind that section of the city wall, Chen Cheng pulled four barbed wire fences, dug several trenches in the middle, and ambushed six cannons and a thousand bird gunners.
He was not so worried that the morale of his men was not high enough, but he was worried that their morale was too high.
These Koreans who had just become masters were very excited all day long. When they saw him and Lin Mengchu, they bowed exaggeratedly. If the order had not been issued to abolish the etiquette of kneeling, I would have seen many people kowtow to them every day.
On the snow outside the city, Amin looked at the quiet city of Pyongyang and said arrogantly: "I just said these Korean barbarians are extremely weak. How about annexing them directly? The Great Khan must let them become a vassal state!"
Jirharang said from the side: "Of course the Great Khan has his reasons."
Amin laughed and said: "What nonsense, if we conquer North Korea this time, we won't leave!"
He kicked the horse's belly and rushed into the broken city wall. He was a typical barbarian, with a wolf-like personality. He was extremely ferocious when he saw weak enemies, but when he encountered a tough opponent, he was fierce.
It will scare you instantly. Now that all the North Koreans are running away, of course his tail will be raised to the sky.
Hundreds of soldiers and horses from the Jurchen headquarters poured in through the gap, and then crashed into the barbed wire fence.
"Huh?"
"Plop!"
"Oops!"
"Stop, stop, there's an ambush ahead!"
But the Jurchens behind them didn't take it seriously. Even if there is an ambush, are our Jianzhou warriors still afraid of fighting with people? The Korean people are far worse than the Ming army. They can be beaten to death with a wooden stick.
They barely managed to squeeze in two to three hundred people, and many people fell into the trench, were pierced by the spikes at the bottom of the trench, and let out bursts of screams.
However, the effect of the barbed wire fence is not as good as Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu imagined. The elite soldiers of this era are all well-armed. Even if they encounter the barbed wire fence, won't it be over if they press on it? Of course, the blocking effect is still there, hundreds of
The cavalrymen were blocked several feet behind the city wall, and their progress was very slow.
After seeing that the Jin army had fallen into the trap, Chen Cheng was not polite. With an order, the cannons roared, and six cannons fired at the same time, blowing up the gap. Thousands of bird gunners came from the roof and from the end of the street.
He stuck his head out and fired repeatedly at the barbed wire wall.
Amin rushed to the front, unable to move forward, and even retreated. He was blown to pieces by artillery on the spot. After a round of artillery fire and Hulun's volley, the corpses of the war horses and Houjin soldiers were piled up.
The ground looked very bloody. On top of the city, Haruya Kawanaka and his Japanese men poked their heads out and fired projectiles downwards.
In Japan, there are many people who are good at using muskets. Chen Cheng gave them another hundred good guns, and immediately beat the Jurchens until they screamed. The Jurchens outside the city were caught off guard, and then rushed in with a roar.
In the city, if you don't fight, you can't do it. No matter what, Amin was once one of the four Baylors. Even if he was not liked by Daishan, Hongtai and others, he was still a high-ranking member of Houjin. If he died in the battle, these people who followed him would
I don’t know how many people will lose their heads.
The technical and tactical level of the Later Jin Army was similar to that of the most elite Ming Army, but their numbers were larger and their military discipline was stricter. The Ming Army could only defeat the servants of each general, and other armies of tens of thousands were used.
Come to make up the money and eat free money.
Waves of Houjin cavalry rushed in and were blown into pieces by cannons. Lin Mengchu held a pistol in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, organizing the soldiers to fire round after round of volleys. Gradually, the bodies of the Jurchens were
The roads were blocked. No matter how brave mortals are, they can't fight against gunpowder and steel.
On top of the city, Chen Cheng also equipped more than a dozen of his soldiers with powerful weapons such as AKs. No matter how many Jurchens there were, they would not be enough to kill them. After losing more than a thousand people, the Jurchens withdrew two units in panic.
After three miles, they still wanted to reorganize, and then they were shot twice more, killing fifty or sixty people. After that, these barbarians finally became honest and started galloping towards the north with their horses.
But how can things be so easy? Chen Cheng is not like Zu Dashou or Yuan Chonghuan, who can let the slaves come and go. When the Hou Jin army retreated, he had already pursued it with more than a hundred cavalry, and Chuanzhong Zhiye and
Shang Yangwu also followed with more than 500 infantrymen.
The infantry chased for twenty miles, killed some stragglers, collected some horses, and returned to Pyongyang. Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu led the cavalry to keep the Jurchens hanging. Although there were only more than a hundred cavalry, they had
Guns. Do you feel afraid of dozens of AKs and hundreds of double-barreled shotguns?
Seeing that the cavalry, who did not know whether they were Japanese pirates or Koreans, were chasing after them, the Hou Jin soldiers wanted to set up an ambush, but how could they succeed? Chen Cheng led the cavalry around to the back of the ambush, first blasted them with one cannon, and then a hundred
Multiple guns opened fire at the same time, and the more than 500 Jin troops collapsed immediately.
Chen Cheng led his troops to pursue him all the way from behind, and defeated the ambush of the Hou Jin Army three times in a row. The Jurchens, who were frightened by the killings, did not dare to stay any longer, and rushed towards the north on horseback. Their running speed and skillful movements made it difficult for them to stop.
Chen Cheng was so surprised that he couldn't catch up with him. He had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Pyongyang.
In this battle, 4,000 were defeated by 30,000. More than 2,000 heads were chopped off, and 1,500 war horses were captured, showing the majesty of the Black Dragon King. Whether it was the Hou Jin Army, the Dongjiang Army, or the
They were all Koreans, and they all felt the shock of the earth falling apart.
When did pirates become so capable of fighting? If pirates were so capable of fighting, then how did the Ming army push Japanese pirates into the sea decades ago? Is it because the Ming army had Gundams at that time?
