"Order, Li Zunzu, led five thousand Yulin guards to attack Mudantai and Mitai Gate. He Heli led five thousand Jianzhou guards to coordinate; Qi Panzong led five thousand Yulin guards to attack Qixingmen, and An Feiyang led four thousand Jianzhou guards.

The state guards coordinated; Hu Dabiao led three thousand Yulin guards to take charge of Hulumen, and Fei Yingdong led three thousand troops to coordinate..."

In the 20th year of Wanli, on September 15th, Li Chengming and his three thousand feathered guards were left in Dingzhou. After half a month of slow and delayed march, Wang Bing, leading an army of 100,000, finally rushed from Dingzhou to the outside of Pyongyang.

The reason why the march was so slow was to wait for Japanese reinforcements to arrive to support Konishi Governor's First Army so that they could complete their victory in one battle.

But what disappointed Wang Bing was that he didn't know whether it was because President Xiaoxi was too unpopular, or whether these Japanese were also scheming and would not save them. In short, facing the Ming army, which was extremely slow in marching, the Japanese armies were

But no one came to support him, so his plan to complete the battle was aborted!

Fortunately, Governor Konishi is still very tough. At this time, he is still holding on to Pyongyang and has not escaped. It seems that he still wants to rely on the thick walls and dangerous terrain of Pyongyang to defend Pyongyang.

Therefore, seeing that it was no longer possible to complete the task in one battle, Wang Bing had no choice but to immediately change his plan and began to use 27,000 Yulin Guards as the main force, plus Nuerhachi's 20,000 Jianzhou Army 'auxiliary', to directly

A siege mission was assigned.

"Master Manager, what about us? We can't watch the show from the sidelines, right?"

As Wang Bing released the siege missions one by one, Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui and Li Rusong, the three generals who suppressed the army, became a little unable to sit still.

"Haha, don't be impatient, marshals! The city of Pyongyang is only such a big place, and using nearly 50,000 people to attack the city is already killing a chicken with a sledgehammer. Why do we need to work for a few marshals!"

Seeing several people with anxious faces, Wang Bing quickly opened his mouth to explain.

"What is the general manager's strategy?"

"If the mountain doesn't come, then I'll have to go, then I'll have to go and go, haha!"

Pointing to the map on the peninsula, Wang Bing began to assign tasks again.

"Li Shuai, you lead the Liaodong cavalry and the Hercynian rear guard with 10,000 elite cavalry, enter Hamjing Road, and encircle and suppress the Japanese troops Kato Kiyomasa!"

"Grandfather, in addition to your own troops and horses, you and Marshal will each lead eight thousand Haixi elite cavalry to cross the Datong River south. As for the direction of the attack, it is up to the two commanders to decide on their own!"

For Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui and Li Rusong, Wang Bing did not try to do anything for them. He directly designated a territory and let them play freely.

…

"My lord, the Ming army has even cut off the pontoon bridge on the Datong River. They don't want to leave any way for us to retreat!"

When they saw that the pontoon bridge across the Daedong River was destroyed by the Habayashi Guards, the Japanese generals such as Matsuura Jinshin in Pyongyang Castle couldn't help but panic.

Unlike in the original history, Li Rusong chose the first month to attack Pyongyang. Although it was already autumn, it was still early before the Tatong River would freeze.

Therefore, although Wang Bing did not send troops to besiege and attack Changqing and Datong gates in the east of Pyongyang, facing the rolling river water without the pontoon bridge, it was equivalent to directly blocking Konishi Yukino's last escape route.

"Why are you panicking? Since ancient times, a city siege must be surrounded by three towers! If you don't even understand such a simple truth, then this Ming army general is just a loser, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Seeing the destruction of the pontoon bridge, Konishi Yukino was actually also panicking. At this moment, in order to avoid the morale of the army being shaken, he could only curl his lips pretending to be calm.

"There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that goes, 'When a soldier is raging, a general will be raging'! With such useless generals, why should we be afraid of them?"

"What's more, judging from the news brought back by Saburo Inukai and others, among the Ming army..."

…

"Master Marquis, since ancient times, the siege of a city has always been about three buildings and one tower, so as not to arouse the enemy's desperate desire. Why did the Marquis do the opposite? Could it be that the Marquis has some clever plan to break the city?"

While Commander Xiao Xi on the top of Pyongyang City was pretending to be calm and calming down his generals, outside the Xiao Xi Gate on the west side of Pyongyang City, Nuer Hachi looked at Wang Bing with a confused look on his face.

There was no way. Although Wang Bing said that the mission of the Jianzhou Army was only "auxiliary" when assigning siege tasks, Nuerhachi himself knew very well that the main force in the siege must be the Jianzhou Army.

Therefore, facing Wang Bing's tactics that might arouse the enemy's desperate desire, Nuerhachi had no choice but to take the initiative to ask Wang Chong for the sake of the lives of his soldiers.

"A clever plan? Haha, I'm afraid that the Governor has read too much of the 'Book of War' "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? This siege battle is a real tough battle. How can there be any clever plan? The reason why I am like this

, it’s just that I don’t want to let go of any Japanese!”

Hearing that Nu'er Hachi actually asked him about the 'ingenious plan' to break the city, Wang Bing couldn't help but look at the Jurchen hero with a joking look on his face.

"How did the Governor know...how did he know..."

Seeing that Wang Bing actually knew such a secret thing as reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a military book, Nuerhachi didn't want to ask Wang Bing anymore why he didn't surround the three towers.

'How do you know? Of course I read it in a book!'

Seeing the shocked look on Nuerhachi's face, Wang Bing couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

There is no way, in the original history, the saying that Nuerhaci and the generals of the Eight Banners read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a military book is widely circulated.

Wang Bing, who had always been half-convinced and half-doubtful about this statement, had just tried it casually. Unexpectedly, after trying it, he found that the rumor was actually true.

"Haha, I know a lot of things! For example, you are resenting and hating me right now!"

Staring at the 'Qing Taizu' in original history, Wang Bing smiled playfully.

"The Marquis is joking, how dare I feel resentment and hatred towards the Marquis in my heart!"

Kneeling down with a plop, Nuerhachi quickly expressed his loyalty.

"Whether you have resentment or hatred, you know it very well, and I know it too! Haha, it's just like you know that I want to take your head!"

Looking at Nuer Hachi who was kneeling in front of him, Wang Bing did not let him get up this time.

"General!"

Before Nuerhachi could open his mouth to defend himself, Shuerhaqi, who was following Wang Bing, also knelt down with a plop.

"Don't ask me why. You know the reason very well. As long as your thoughts that you shouldn't have persist in, your head may fall off at any time! You lost your head with thoughts that you shouldn't have.

It’s better to completely throw away those thoughts that you shouldn’t have, and it’s up to you to figure it out!”

Looking at Nuer Hachi who was about to speak, Wang Bing blocked the words he wanted to defend in his mouth.

"Shulhaqi, take a thousand Linwei brothers with you and attack Xiaoximen with your elder brother!"

In the end, for Shuerhaqi's sake, Wang Bing couldn't bear to let Nuerhachi lead the Jianzhou Army alone to attack Xiaoximen. Instead, he gave him a thousand feathered forest guards as fire cover.
Chapter completed!
