Chapter 18

"Amma! Why don't our two red flags go to North Korea? That's a piece of fat meat!" Back at home, Yue Tuo asked his father with some confusion. Everyone knew that King Li Zhu of North Korea was a rich man who could win

Pyongyang is certainly in for a bumper harvest.

"Fat meat? How do I think that is a trap? Have you forgotten what happened in Jinzhou? Don't say that our two red flags, the red-armed Baya La army are your father's personal soldiers. How about it? Now Jueluo Baishan has been

He was caught and became a blackmail ticket.

Your eighth uncle is as shrewd as a ghost, why didn't you see his white flag and grab it? Just wait and see, your fifth uncle and Amin will throw out the words. When the time comes, we will have a bloody head-to-head collision. Let's see what they do.

If you round up your words and come forward to meet me, I think they are crazy about money."

"Amma! Do you think Uncle Eight also noticed it?"

"Child! Don't underestimate your eighth uncle, he has deep plans."

"Do you think Father Ma... Uncle Eight will be able to...!"

Of course, Li Xiao in Pyongyang would not wait foolishly for Li Yongfang. Negotiations and preparations for war must be carried out with both hands and both hands must be strong. He began to have people prepare gunpowder in large quantities in the army.

Things are no longer high-tech products these days. Not only did the North Korean Li Dynasty have the formula, but even Nurhaci also had the formula.

It's just that the power of gunpowder these days is really hard to praise. The Ming army armed with gunpowder weapons was completely defeated by the Tatars. Therefore, people now don't have much confidence in gunpowder weapons.

Li Xiao didn't care about this, he just prepared a lot of them. Then he tied them into explosive bags and put them in the tower for later use.

The power of gunpowder is small, but as long as the quantity is sufficient, the power is no longer a shortcoming. The explosive bag is tightly wrapped with expensive cotton cloth, leaving only a fuse. On the outer layer of the explosive bag, brush the slurry made of flour.

Paste. Pour a lot of iron nails, lead and other small things on top. Then wrap the outermost part with strong burlap to make it strong!

Two were exploded in the experiment, but the power was obviously not as powerful as the black smoke. However, the scarecrows ten meters away were covered with various iron nails and lead. Some of the wooden poles inside the scarecrows were broken into two pieces. Eight Banners Soldiers

The armor shouldn't be of much use in front of this thing.

Li Jie responded to Li Xiao's request. Except for the throne, he would give him whatever he wanted. Anyway, a thousand words can be said. As long as you can drive away the Tatar soldiers, you can do whatever you want.

Li Xiao put the trebuchets on the city. If the Tatar soldiers came to attack the city this time, there would never be a battle like the last time. The flood of Tatar soldiers would quickly submerge his army. Li Xiao was not stupid.

Go out of the city and fight them. I'll be waiting at the top of the city. Come in if you dare.

In addition to explosive packs, Li Xiao also prepared another famous weapon. Enemies of ten thousand enemies!

I don’t know who invented this thing, but Li Xiao knew that it played an important role in the Battle of Ningyuan. The specific manufacturing method is to find a quilt, lay it with straw, and wrap gunpowder inside.

Many people in North Korea still feel distressed that expensive quilts are used to make this crappy thing. Haven’t you seen that many North Korean people don’t even have a quilt in their homes?

But after Li Xiao lit it in public, the objections disappeared immediately. It was so fierce that the ferocious flames scared Li Xiao back several steps. If he hadn't considered that there were many people around him to protect him, he would have even had the urge to run away.

.

As the earliest prototype of incendiary bombs, Li Xiao was very satisfied with the power of ten thousand enemies. It was only a side effect to scare away the king of Korea. The main function of this thing was to burn down the enemy's siege vehicles.

After ten days of preparation, we saw that the Spring Festival was approaching and everyone was going to celebrate the New Year in Pyongyang. The scouts came to report that the Tatar soldiers who had retreated to the Yalu River were advancing again. The army marched towards the capital Pyongyang!

"Boy, you guessed wrong, right? Nurhaci didn't take you, a little bastard, seriously at all." Mangui didn't believe that Nurhachi would agree to Li Xiao's conditions.

"Do you know why they came to attack Pyongyang?" Li Xiao asked Mangui with a smile.

"Isn't it just to grab money, food, and women! What else could it be for!"

"That's wrong! It's because we didn't hit them hard enough. Only when we hurt these grandsons will they dare not come again. When they meet us in the future, they will also think twice about it."

This time, the two blue flags did not rush in with light cavalry like last time. Instead, a large group of people came to Pyongyang City carrying baggage. It took them four days to walk from the Yalu River to Pyongyang City.

On a snowy afternoon, Mang Gurtai and Amin arrived at the gate of Pyongyang.

The body of the red-armored Baya Lajun was covered with a thin layer of snow. The two men ordered their men to dig out the zombies who were as cold as stones. There was no need for any memorial service or farewell ceremony. They were on the side.

A bonfire was lit and everything was burned.

These brainless bodies have a great impact on morale.

The roaring sound of the raging fire melted the ice sculpture-like corpses and then burned them to ashes.

Li Xiao stood on the top of the city, looking at the billowing black smoke rising in the distance. He knew that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow, and there were countless people who couldn't sleep tonight.

The King of North Korea, Li Jiao, was definitely the one who couldn't sleep. This guy tremblingly called Li Xiao over and asked him if he was sure of victory.

"It is absolutely impossible to enter the city. They will never be able to fight in. But if the king wants to go out of the city, it will be at your own risk. I believe that your soldiers will never be able to outrun the four-legged Tatar war horses.

Believe me, they won't be able to hold on for long in the cold weather. It's freezing in our house, but they can hold on for a few days with so many soldiers living in tents."

"I hope so. It all depends on the general to maintain everything." Knowing that there was no chance of escaping, Li Zhu could only hide in the Joseon palace and be frightened every day. In his heart, he asked the gods and Buddhas in the sky for help, and sincerely prayed that the Jurchen Tatars would retreat as soon as possible.

Li Xiao was right. It was a cold winter with ice and snow. Camping in the wild was definitely a hard job. Mang Gurtai and Amin could grab private houses to live in. But after all, there are more than 20,000 people. How can there be so many private houses around Pyongyang?

.

Early the next morning, the Tatar soldiers couldn't wait to start the attack. Even if they died in battle, it would be better than freezing to death in the wilderness. Damn North Korea, it's so damn cold. Just pee on the ground.

Bingtuotuo, these are the Tatar soldiers who came over the white mountains and black waters. If they were soldiers from Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, they might not be able to hold them anymore by now.

The big words of Amin and Mang Gurtai were actually not blown out of proportion. Among the Eight Banners, the most capable ones were the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang Banners. Because they were all heavily armored cavalry, their soldiers were also the best among all the banners.

But to say that the best in siege warfare is the two flags with baskets and blue flags. Because these two flags are mostly infantry and there are not many cavalry.

The two blue flags did not attack the city shirtless. They also knew very well that they could not rush to the city wall on horseback. In fact, they had a fairly complete tactical system and roughly had three groups of people.

Whenever an attack occurs, the vanguard of the two blue flags is served by a special type of soldier - the martyrs.

All the soldiers pushed the cart. The so-called cart is a wooden cart. The front of the thick wooden board is wrapped with several layers of thick cowhide and sprinkled with water. Since the wooden board and cowhide are quite solid, the Ming army's firearms and bows and arrows

Unable to shoot through, this is the first group of people.

The second group is the archers, hiding behind the cart, shooting arrows into the sky at an angle of 45 degrees (the range is very long), regardless of whether they can hit the target, they will leave after shooting.

The last group was the infantry pushing the siege vehicles. When the enemy's attention was drawn to the city wall, these people pushed the siege vehicles to the city gate. The manufacturing method of this siege vehicle was the same as that of the city gate.

The car is almost the same.

The difference is that the siege vehicle has a thick swinging log. A dozen big-bodied men shouted chants and swung the log to knock open the tall city gate. As long as the city gate is opened, generally speaking, the city is safe.

It's broken.

There were many cities in Liaodong that were destroyed by these three waves of people.

But this time there is something different, because the people carrying the carts and pushing the siege engines are not the soldiers of the two blue flags, but many Korean people who were captured!

The North Korean soldiers holding crossbows on the city wall were stunned. They didn't know whether to fire arrows. Below were all North Korean people, some of whom were even their relatives. Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer, Li Xiao suddenly gave an order

The city wall was pushed down and a dozen people were tied up. These people were wearing cotton-padded clothes on their upper bodies. Their lower bodies were stripped naked. The severe cold in North Korea turned their thighs purple.

Wu Daji stood on the city wall, holding a trumpet made of rolled iron sheets in his hand. "Tatar soldiers, you heard clearly, the two armies fought with bravery and blood. Now you are taking Korean people captive, and our army will also hang your prisoners of war on the city wall."

Go up. Look, this is your red-armored Baya La army general, Jueluobaishan. If you use Korean people to attack the city again, we will strip Jueluobaishan naked and freeze to death on the city wall."

"I'm fucked!" Mang Gurtai almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had never seen anyone do this before.

"What should I do?" Amin turned to Mang Gurtai helplessly and asked.

"Damn, these bastards." Mang Gurtai blew out a breath of white air, his teeth itched with hatred but he had no choice.

"Jueluo Baishan is the favorite general of the Great Khan. He has followed the Great Khan in his conquests for so many years. His friendship is not ordinary. If he dies like this...!" Amin said with some embarrassment.

When the Thirteen Armors first joined the army, one of them was Jueluo Baishan. Over the years, my father’s life alone has been saved several times. If he froze to death at this time, what would his father think after he found out?

Gurtai doesn't want to make his father unhappy!

"This trick is so fucking awesome, let those Koreans withdraw." Mang Gurtai said in frustration. He couldn't bear the consequences of losing Mount Jueluobai. Even if a thousand flag soldiers died, it wouldn't be worth it.
