Chapter 26
If you want to surround the site and attack the aid, you must create the illusion that Pyongyang will be compromised at any time. This will lead to the Koryo army rushing to Pyongyang from Seoul to help Pyongyang into the carefully arranged encirclement of the Ming army.
In this war, Goryeo, which initially adopted a passive approach to avoid war, had lost the initiative. As the side of the active attack, the Ming army had priority in war.
After conquering Anzhou, the vanguard of the Ming army worked tirelessly and divided into two routes to conquer Hejinli, Pingcheng, the two strongholds outside Pyongyang, especially Pingcheng. Although the city is not large, it is the most fortress and is built at the highest point outside Pyongyang.
Moreover, Pingcheng is slightly parallel to Pyongyang in geographical location, which can block the route of Goryeo's troops entering from the side.
Then, the Ming army was like a tide, and the troops were approaching the city of Pyongyang, and the formation stretched for dozens of miles, with flags flying and shouting shaking the sky, ready to launch an attack at any time.
Such a big city does not even have a moat! On the high ground, among the central army, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ancient city of Pyongyang, which was completely imitated by the Central Plains, and said.
As an important town in the north and south of Goryeo, Pyongyang City is located in the lower reaches of the Datong River in Goryeo. If the city in the Central Plains has such a geographical location, it will definitely lead the river to become a moat and form a natural barrier around the city. If an enemy attacks, if not 100,000 or 80,000 will not be killed, and if it is not attacked for three or five years, it may not even be touched by the city wall.
However, in Pyongyang City, in sight, there is only a natural river outside the city wall on the west side, and the other three sides are completely exposed under the Ming army's military front.
Goryeo learns from China everywhere, but doesn’t want to learn only one superficial thing! Li Jinglong smiled beside Zhu Yunxiu and said, “When I was a young man, I heard from the teacher that the Mongolian and Yuan army swept the world and was unstoppable. But in front of the ancient city of Xiangfan, there was nothing we could do about the moat formed by the Han River!
It’s not that Goryeo doesn’t want to cultivate, it’s that they are powerless! Zhu Yunyu spoke, with some preaching meaning, you, you only see the surface of everything. Building a city is not a matter of one day or one night. Which of the world’s most powerful cities in the Ming Dynasty is not a conquering hundreds of thousands of civilians every year, and repairing them every year can finally be completed. Can Goryeo junior high school afford hundreds of thousands of civilians?
Furthermore, when Goryeo Primary School faces defense, it is not like Chinese cities, which have to defend against foreign enemies and serve as a fortress to wait for attack. Moreover, Goryeo faces only foreign places, unlike our China, which often invades hundreds of thousands of troops.
China has been in power for five thousand years, and every few hundred years there will be a war for decades. China's cities will continue to improve and strengthen with the transformation of war forms and the evolution of weapons. However, Goryeo has never had a large-scale war for hundreds of years, and they have never experienced an offensive and defensive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, so the city they used as defense is still the same as it was hundreds of years ago.
Not only does Pyongyang have no moat, but the city wall is only more than two meters high. The only thing that makes people feel a little troublesome is that there are many dense castles hidden on the Pyongyang wall.
Li Jinglong immediately bowed slightly, and His Highness clearly understood thousands of miles and was well-versed in history. My idiotic knowledge was revealed in front of the hall!
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and pointed at Pyongyang City with a horse whip. Give you a good job and call the city!
Look! Li Jinglong agreed loudly, and then the horse's hooves were like thunder, and he whistled away with a pair of cavalry.

There were crowds of people under the city of Pyongyang. Countless Ming troops were making the final preparations before siege. Although the Ming soldiers had more than 100,000, the flag was clear and there was no chaos at all.
Right in front of the city, the huge siege car had been built and was pushed to the front of the formation by the army. Behind the siege car was a huge siege, which seemed to be the final test by the craftsmen. I saw that there were some stones in the Ming army's position from time to time, flying into the sky with a harsh roar.
General! On the top of the city, Pyongyang judge Yin Park-chang kept wiping his face with a handkerchief. The Han River fell like raindrops and said to the general guarding the city next to him, "Can we defend it?"
The Pyongyang Guardian is an old subordinate of the Goryeo king, and the imperial guards awarded Pang Guangda. This man made great achievements in the Goryeo army and was unparalleled in the war.
We must defend it, the king has sent reinforcements! Pang Guangda's eyes twitched a few times and said to Park Changhao, opening the treasury in the city and gathering the people in the city. We will survive and die with Pyongyang, and we will never let the Ming army step into the Goryeo city!
Suddenly, a scream came from the side, and a Goryeo soldiers pointed outside the city and shouted, "The envoy of the Ming army!"
When the two armies face each other and the dignified army confronts head-on, a vanguard must come and shout.
It was early morning, and in the sun, the whistling cavalrymen reflected a dazzling light on their armor.
Wow!
Duke Cao Li Jinglong held the war horses under the city of Pyongyang, looked up at the city wall, and shouted with great energy, "Is there a Pyongyang official in the city?" I am Duke Cao of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong, the Central Guard General of the Central Army. In the name of Grand Prince Huang, he passed the message to Yu Er and others!
His Royal Highness, the Emperor's Crown, brought 500,000 Ming Dynasty King Hu Ben, to destroy Goryeo and other Goryeo seeds. However, Goryeo Li's family acted in a rebellious manner and usurped the throne and relied on their own.
The Ming Dynasty King's Army came to kill the traitors of the Li family, restore the rituals and laws of Goryeo, and restore the world of Goryeo. Reshape the monarch and ministers of Goryeo, and let the country and the people be safe.
The Li family is not the lord of Goryeo. We are in the Ming Dynasty. Don’t misunderstand yourself and open the city to surrender to welcome the king’s army. Otherwise, the army will attack the city, and the century-old famous city of Goryeo will be destroyed, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city will die in a bad way!
Li Jinglong roared loudly, feeling his throat burning, but there was no response on the city wall, and he was immediately furious.
How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon? Li Jinglong continued to roar loudly, "The stubbornness of the Ming Dynasty will lead to death." My grandson of the Ming Dynasty is the lord of kindness in the world. His kindness is vast, and surrender will prevent you from dying............!
Be careful, General!
Li Jinglong was shouting happily, but suddenly someone warned him behind him.
There was a hidden arrow! I cursed in my heart and pulled the reins violently. The BMW under my crotch moved a little quickly, and at the same time, a burning feeling passed by my face.
Damn it!
Li Jinglong looked down and saw an arrow branch that was still shaking on the ground, and he was immediately furious.
At the same time, I was shocked and covered in cold sweat. I asked in a terrified look, "My face?"
The skin was broken! Several guards hurriedly protected Li Jinglong in the center and looked at the city on alert in case of hidden arrows coming again.
OK OK OK OK! Li Jinglong looked at the city wall, gritted his teeth and cursed loudly, "Goryeo kids, secretly arrows hurt people! After breaking the city, he will be forced to do so for three days without sealing the knife!
After saying that, turn the horse's head and leave!
Dozens of cavalry roared away again, and Pang Guangda put down the bow and arrow in his hand on the top of the city, cursed angrily, Siba, shot in a crooked manner!
~~~
But Li Jinglong had red and swollen scars on his face and rushed to Zhu Yun's horse and knelt down. His Highness, the Goryeo, refused to surrender, and even shot me with an arrow! As he said that, he pointed to his face and said angrily, Your Highness, I asked me to be the vanguard, step on Pyongyang, and avenge my anger!
Please be calm!
Zhu Yunxi smiled, his eyes a little ferocious. He saw it clearly just now. If Li Jinglong hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been shot into his neck with an arrow.
Fu Rang passed the order of the isolated army, and the former army, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Xie Cheng, Marquis of Yongping, and Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heqing, were preparing to attack the city!
Look! Fu Rang rolls over and prepares to pass the order.
Dongdongdongdongdong, in an instant, hundreds of athletes in the central army held drum sticks and beat the war drum hard. The sound of the drums vibrated the four fields.
The eyes of more than 100,000 troops all looked at the central army raising the Ming Dragon Flag and the Sun and Moon Flags.
