Chapter 363 The Details Determine Success or Failure
At noon the next day, on the east side of Pyongyang, the sound of horseshoes was rumbling, and a cavalry army in red uniforms came galloping from a distance. The Ming army flag fluttered high, and the guards on the top of Pyongyang couldn't help cheering immediately when they saw it. .

After Lu Xiangsheng heard the news, he immediately went to the top of the city to watch.

The Jianlu scouts scattered around Pyongyang were fleeing back to their camp from a distance, when the Ming cavalry roared in and rushed straight to the city of Pyongyang.

That's right, this cavalry army was the two thousand cavalry led by Li Dingguo who came overland after landing at the seaside.

"Pass down the officer's military order, the whole army is assembled, ready to go out of the city to attack the Jianlu camp!" Lu Xiangsheng watched for a while, and immediately ordered.

The young general Li Laiheng next to him was startled when he heard this, and quickly reminded: "My lord, the cavalry has just arrived, do you want to take a rest first?"

Lin Qingye was also shocked, and also advised: "My lord, there is not a day's difference between left and right, why don't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Kim Sang-heon is self-aware about military matters, and he didn't open his mouth when someone suggested it.However, it can also be seen from his expression that he is in favor of cavalry resting.

However, after Lu Xiangsheng glanced at them, he turned serious, shook his head and said, "Time doesn't wait for us, we can't afford to wait!"

Having said that, seeing their disapproving expressions, he explained to them: "Before the Korean War started, why did Jianlu negotiate with this official to discuss the matter of King De?"

He paused, and saw that some of them were puzzled, so he said directly: "What Jianlu is afraid of is that our Dongjiang Army will send troops to contain Jianlu, so first stabilize my officer so that he can successfully enter North Korea. But at this point, if I lead troops to help, Jianlu must have a plan to pull out the thorn in the side of the Dongjiang Army! I predict that if the war in Pyongyang drags on for a long time, Jianlu from all over North Korea will definitely give up. Attack North Korea, encircle Pyongyang immediately, and try to take this opportunity to destroy our Dongjiang Army!"

If you can't even guess the purpose of Jianlu, Lu Xiangsheng is not Lu Xiangsheng.

He pointed to the Jianlu camp outside the city and said in a very positive tone: "When our army first arrived, Jianlu not only did not take the opportunity to test the attack, but immediately reduced its defenses, which shows that it is waiting for reinforcements. I am sure that , the Jianlu army attacking Seoul will definitely turn around and come back for reinforcements after hearing the news. Thirty thousand Jianlu troops are enough to eat us!"

"As long as Jianlu eats our Dongjiang army, he will have no worries and can attack Seoul calmly!" Lu Xiangsheng said here, his expression became more and more serious, and he continued to point to the Jianlu camp outside the city and said: " The current plan, the strategy to break the situation, lies in whether our army can defeat the Jianlu army before the Jianlu reinforcements arrive. The success or failure of the Korean War is only in front of the eyes. Time does not wait for me, this official is not talking casually .”

He had already explained it so clearly, both Li Laiheng and Lin Qingye realized the seriousness of the matter, and their faces became extremely serious.

After hearing this, Jin Shangxian couldn't help feeling a little pessimistic.Outside this city, there are around ten thousand Jian captives, how could it be so easy to defeat them?
Thinking of this, he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "My lord, do you have an urgent report to the capital to send reinforcements?"

"The capital is far away on the other side of the sea. Although I have an urgent report, it takes time for the news to be delivered. Even if reinforcements are sent, it will take time. I am worried that North Korea will never last until my Ming reinforcements arrive." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Looking at him, he said solemnly, "Actually, this time, if Jianlu rushed forward as usual, I would be worried that Seoul had already fallen. Thanks to Jianlu's focus on looting this time, there was no Go straight to Seoul. However, this may not be a good thing!"

After saying this with emotion, Lu Xiangsheng calmed down, turned around and told Lin Qingye: "This time, you also need to send musketeers to assist you, and form a separate formation. After I defeat the enemy in front of you, take advantage of the situation to attack!"

Regarding the North Korean army, Lu Xiangsheng did not hope that they could fight a tough battle, but in order to defeat the Jianlu army in one fell swoop, the Ming army alone was not enough.Therefore, he had to make demands on the North Korean army.

When Lin Qingye heard this, he immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Governor, this is the last general leading the army in person, and he will never drag down the heavenly army."

He himself also knows the actual combat effectiveness of the North Korean army.Therefore, he said this and made up his mind not to lose face.

As a result, there was immediate movement in Pyongyang.Both the Ming army and the Korean army have begun to gather.

And when the captive camp was built outside the city, the commander Yue Tuo was quite surprised when he heard the report from the scouts who had fled back: "What, two thousand cavalry troops from the Ming Dynasty are here?"

In the past, whether it was from the escaped soldiers of the Qing Dynasty or from the descriptions of Ying Erdai and others, they estimated that there were about a thousand cavalry in this new Dongjiang army.This number has surprised them.The same is true, Yue Tuo was surprised if he heard that there were two thousand cavalry troops in the Dongjiang army, which doubled.

After confirming the number of Ming cavalry troops, Yue Tuo finally went to the gate of the camp to watch in person. After he was right, he couldn't help feeling a little lucky.

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty did not give the Dongjiang Army a chance, and has always attached great importance to the Dongjiang Army. Otherwise, if this new Dongjiang Army is ignored, two thousand cavalry troops will bring great trouble to Liaodong.

He was thinking about this when suddenly a personal guard pointed at Pyongyang and reminded him in surprise: "Lord Baylor, the enemies of Pyongyang seem to be leaving the city!"

As soon as Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately fixed his eyes on Pyongyang City.

Sure enough, when he looked over, the gate of Pyongyang had already been opened.Groups of Ming troops are coming out in single file, and they are lining up in the city.The new cavalry also went over to meet up immediately, and gathered on the left and right sides of the army formation.

"So eager to fight Ben Baylor, it seems that the Ming army has seen something!" Yue Tuo looked at this and said something to himself, then he turned around and gave the order that the whole army be ready for battle, but not to go to battle.

After a while, outside Pyongyang, the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea began to attack the Jianlu Camp. The military formation slowly moved and approached the Jianlu Camp.

On the top of the wall, Jin Shangxian was watching the formation. He was a little strange. Jianlu, who had always been arrogant, did not take the initiative to attack in this situation. Instead, he hid in the camp gate and did not move.Is this afraid of the Ming army?
Lu Xiangsheng's previous battle gave him a lot of confidence, making him think so involuntarily.

The governor personally leads the army to fight, this battle will definitely be won!
He was optimistic, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't see it that way.In the middle army, seeing Jianlu acting uncharacteristically and just shrinking inside the camp gate made him even more affirmed what he thought in his heart.Faintly, he felt that it would be more difficult than expected to defeat the Jianlu army in front of him.

After approaching the Jianlu camp, Lu Xiangsheng first sent Ye Bushou to provoke him at the gate of the Jianlu camp. Whether it was a fight or scolding, there was no reaction in the Jianlu camp.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to order a strong attack.

The five Hongyi cannons unloaded from the warship were pushed to the front of the formation, lined up, the muzzles were facing the Jianlu camp, and the artillerymen became busy nervously.

Inside the camp gate, Yue Tuo saw that the Ming army had actually brought the Hongyi cannon. He was shocked and immediately ordered and took corresponding countermeasures.

"Boom boom boom..."

Not long after, the Hongyi cannon roared, and five iron bullets roared towards the Jianlu camp.The fences of the camp were smashed to pieces as if they were made of paper.

However, even so, the Jianlu military camp was still quiet and there was no counterattack.This time the shelling only destroyed the fence of the camp and did not kill any prisoners.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help frowning, and immediately ordered to shell again.

"Boom boom boom..."

The fences of the Jianlu camp were smashed more, and the situation inside the camp can be seen a lot.

Lu Xiangsheng was surprised to find that there were mounds of soil built by Jianlu in the camp, and the piles were irregular.After the iron bullets smashed through the camp fence, they often hit these mounds of soil, splashing a lot of dust at most, but the iron bullets stayed in the mounds and did not cause any damage to the interior of the camp.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Hongyi cannon continued to roar, but it only smashed the fence in front of it.At this time, we could already see the Jianlu camp, just behind the mound, where groups of Jianlu were hiding and waiting.

The cannon lost its proper function, and Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to order the whole army to attack and take the initiative to attack the Jianlu camp.

The long shield soldiers in the Ming army held long shields one by one to form a shield formation, and slowly opened the way in front.Followed by archers and musketeers, covered by cavalry on both sides, they roared rhythmically amidst the thundering drums, and approached the Jianlu camp step by step.

On both sides and rear of the Ming army, there are musketeers of the Korean army. There are more than 5000 people in total. They are the most elite part selected by Lin Qingye from the defenders in the city.

With the Ming army standing in front of them, these North Korean musketeers did not panic. Holding their guns in their hands, they also followed the Ming army's orders and approached the Jianlu camp step by step.

The forward of the Ming army was getting closer and closer to the Jianlu camp, but Jianlu still didn't respond at all, just hiding in the camp.

"Kill..."

Finally, the forward of the Ming army rushed to the vicinity of the Jianlu camp, and then roared, and the archers began to shoot arrows at the Jianlu camp.

Almost at the same time, the Jianlu archers hiding in the camp also started to fight back.

In the sky, the arrows coming and going almost obscured the sunlight.

Whether it was the Ming army or the Jianlu, there were unlucky people who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

This battle broke out suddenly.

Bows and arrows are unsustainable, and it doesn't take long for the arrows to thin out.

The Ming army in front began to rush into the Jianlu camp.And the Jianlu in the Jianlu camp finally showed their figures, and also charged the Ming army.

When the gunners of the Ming army saw it, they immediately stepped forward, and started their shooting under the cover of the shield soldiers.

"Blah blah blah..."

The sound rang out densely, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Yue Tuo had anticipated this, knowing that there were gunners in the Ming army, but relatively speaking, he lacked this type of unit.

However, he wasn't too worried.Therefore, the musketeers have matches on their bodies, and they cannot get too close to each other, otherwise, the burning match may accidentally touch the gunpowder of the people around them, which is very dangerous.

In this way, the density of firecrackers firing cannot be high.As long as you rush over, the gunner is a lamb to be slaughtered.

Not to mention, this time it wasn't the Qing attacking, but the Ming army coming to attack, and the closer they fought, the shorter the distance between the two sides.

On Jianlu's side, either holding a shield or pushing a chariot, he rushed towards the Ming army, which could reduce a lot of damage.

When he got close, he shouted, jumped out of the cover of the chariot, and met with the Ming army.

As long as it is hand to hand, the Qing army is invincible in the world!

In this regard, Yuetuo is very confident.At this time, he was even thinking in his heart, maybe, without the emperor's painstaking arrangements, he would be able to defeat the Ming army in this battle!
However, sometimes, wars are often unexpected.This time, no exception.

In the formation of the Ming army, there was a group of Ming army musketeers standing very densely, platoons of guns fired in turn, the dense rain of bullets was useless even with shields protecting them.All the Qing soldiers who rushed over fell in front of the Ming army.

Regarding this situation, Yue Tuo, who was quietly observing in the dark, couldn't help but be taken aback.When he took a closer look, he finally discovered that there was something wrong with the firecrackers of the Ming army, and they didn't use matchlocks to ignite the gunpowder.Therefore, they stood very close to each other, shooting in five stages, taking turns to shoot.

In this case, you must not rush hard.

Yue Tuo immediately adjusted his deployment and issued orders.He mobilized his troops, avoided this group of gunners, and launched an attack on the Ming army from other places.Of course, this group of gunners couldn't ignore it, so they just pushed the thickened cart and rammed it directly towards the gunners of the Ming army.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, the musketeers also had to withdraw, giving up the main battlefield to the cold weapon, and the hand-to-hand combat began.

Without the threat of firecrackers, the attacking Jianlu seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, their morale increased a little, and they rushed towards the Ming army screaming.

However, the next step, something surprising happened to them.

When they charged towards the Ming army with spears and other weapons, they were shocked to find that their spears were not as long as the Ming army.Before their spears reached the Ming army, the Ming army's spears pierced them.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty's spears were longer than the Ming army's spears, so they often had an advantage when fighting in close combat.Unexpectedly, this time, the Ming army's spears turned out to be longer.

Caught off guard, the first batch of Jianlu who fought hand in hand suffered a big loss immediately.

The changes in details gave the Ming army an advantage, killing Jianlu and retreating steadily.

"Okay, the heavenly soldiers have invaded the Jianlu camp!" On top of Pyongyang City, Kim Sang-hyun couldn't help but shout with joy.

However, is Jianlu so easily defeated?
