In the early morning, what was filled with the earth was not the slightly wet morning mist, but the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

The gray-white smoke, with a pungent smell, never dissipated between the world for a long time, and it was mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.

The city was covered with broken limbs and broken arms, bricks and rubble. Between the ruins and under the city walls, there were still wounded soldiers who were yelling heart-wrenchingly, helplessly in the pile of dead people, reaching out their hands powerlessly, fantasizing that someone would pull them.

Beside the Pyongyang city walls, siege cars as tall as sky still stood, but they were covered with traces of holes, and there was a raging fire.

The Koreans' determination to defend their homes was strong. After the siege car was placed on the top of the city, the Koreans directly used their hidden backhand and turbulent oil.

Facing the Goryeo surrendered soldiers who rushed to the city, the defenders did not feel lenient because they were compatriots. The elite soldiers were at the forefront to block the impact of the Goryeo surrendered soldiers. At the same time, the dead soldiers, with the turbulent tank, jumped directly onto the Ming army's siege car and ignited a raging fire.

In an instant, the exit of the siege car turned into a sea of ​​fire, and there were more tincture oil and torches, and the hot golden juice and water that were vented from the city.

The soldiers burned by the fire kept rolling on the soil. The soldiers who were soaked by feces could grab the scalded flesh and blood on their bodies with their hands, revealing the white bones of the forest.

Until now, after a night, the smell of blood floating between heaven and earth is mixed with the smell of stench and the smell of barbecue.

Zhu Yunxiu walked in the military camp with his personal guards. Yesterday was a tentative attack, and the chargers were all Goryeo surrendered soldiers, which were used to consume Goryeo defenders. If you want to attack the city again today, you will have to go to the Ming army.

Because more than 4,000 surrendered troops in Goryeo have been killed or injured.

How many of our people have died?

It was dawn, and the soldiers in the camp stood up at the command of the officers. Breakfast smoke also floated in the camp. Zhu Yunxiu stood beside an iron pot, stirring the thick hot porridge inside with a spoon, and asked.

Go back to Your Highness, in the battle yesterday, more than 100 of us died and more than 400 people were injured! Fu Rang replied respectfully behind Zhu Yunxiu.

Most of the dead people were hit by the trickling arrows and rolling stones of the Goryeo defenders while supervising the war under the city. War will kill people. Although they know this truth, Zhu Yunyu still frowned with pain.

Your Highness, there is no immortality in war! Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and said carefully. I dared to say something unpleasant. The casualties of a hundred people are nothing!

Zhu Yunxiu looked up and looked at the Goryeo City Wall where there were people shaking in the smoke. The two walls were the key attack locations of the Ming army yesterday. The city walls were already broken. The Goryeo people did not sleep all night last night and kept building them.

The bodies of the men who died in battle were restrained. Now the weather is hot, so we can't send them all back in a hurry. They are all cremated! Zhu Yunxiu's eyes moved to the Ming Hu Bens in the camp and continued to say, remember the names and put them in their ashes, and send them home. The pensions are paid double. Tell the Liaodong Dusi that they should give more land to the men who died in battle. They work hard for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty cannot let their families have any worries!

Your Highness loves soldiers like his son. Li Jinglong said behind him, "I think you should circulate the three armies to show your mercy." The three armies will surely die even more!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Li Jinglong coldly. The latter suddenly felt cold in his heart, and immediately realized that he had flattered himself and slapped the horse's legs. He lowered his head and flashed aside, not daring to say anything more.

The veterans in the army, such as Fu Youde and others, looked at each other silently, and they all knew in their hearts that His Highness had not yet been tempered to the point of being so hard-working. For these veterans, not to mention that more than 100 people died, even if they had military achievements, they would not see them.

It was not Zhu Yunxi's kindness, but the human nature in his heart, nor was it his pretentiousness. After all, the more than a hundred people who died were all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Will you continue to attack the city today? After a while, Fu Youde asked, Your Highness, don’t look at the fierce attacks of the Goryeo people yesterday, it is actually the last moment of strength. If you attack the city today, I suggest to fire all three sides, first use artillery catapults to hit him for a long time, and then the heavily armored infantry climbed the city.

As long as you stand at the top of the city, you can clear the outer city of Pyongyang within one day, and in another two days, you can clear the entire city of Pyongyang. Take Pyongyang, and the Goryeo gate will be opened, and it will be smooth!

If I am not worried about Pyongyang, it will be a matter of time before I break the city. Zhu Yunyu looked at Pyongyang again. What Gu is concerned about now is where the reinforcements from Goryeo are? As he said, he smiled slightly. Pyongyang is the bait for the reinforcements of Goryeo, and we cannot be anxious now.

The key to the word "encirclement" is to fight for support. Pyongyang City is now a frightened bird, so just surround it.

Logically speaking, the King of Yan should have written a letter. If Your Highness is worried, I will give me a cavalry and I will go in person! Lan Yu pondered and said, "Pingyang is surrounded by ours, and the commanding heights of Pingcheng are also in our hands. If the reinforcements from Goryeo come, Huicang is the only way to go. There is no need to stop him. Just put some horses, stare at them from afar, let them in, and then join forces with the King of Yan. It is best if they march, we send troops on both sides at the same time, Your Highness is in front and the King of Yan is on the side, and attack in the middle of the waist.........

Jiang is still so good. Although the veterans have been pondering the aid of supporting players, few people have failed to be like Lan Yu. When talking about the terrain of Goryeo, no one can actuate the war to the time difference like him.

At this moment, a general suddenly ran over under the guidance of Zhu Yunxi's guards.

Minister Zhang Yu, see His Highness the Grand Prince!

The person who came was Zhu Di's confidant general, and he must have discovered traces of the reinforcements of Goryeo.

But when he met a Korean? Zhu Yunxiu asked anxiously.

Back to Your Highness, the army of Goryeo went north and passed Sui'an, only thirty miles away from Huicang. There were about 4,000 cavalry and more than 50,000 infantrymen. They were attacking the banner of the Goryeo King Jingxing Yi Army. King Qiansui of Yan led his army to be stationed in Changxing, and he could attack the flanks of Goryeo Army at any time.

(See on the map, Pingcheng, Changxingli, and Huicang are a triangle.)

OK! Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands and destroyed the reinforcements first, and then broke Pyongyang! As he said, he said to the generals in a stern manner. Duke Fu continued to attack Pyongyang, and the others followed me and the King of Yan to join forces! He said to Zhang Yu, go and reply to the King of Yan quickly, so that he would definitely see the reinforcements of Goryeo to death. If the other party noticed something was wrong, he would definitely bite it and not escape!

Look! The generals agreed.

The front line of the Ming army with more than 100,000 troops extended from the highland outside Pyongyang to the bottom of Pyongyang, in a staircase shape. When the Goryeo reinforcements arrived, the Ming army did not need to march for a long distance. They just needed the front army to cross the shallow Datong River to reach the only way for the Goryeo reinforcements, Huicang.

The military situation was like fire. Under the city of Pyongyang, the Ming army continued to attack with great momentum, and the accumulated earth wall was huge. In fact, in secret, the large army had turned the gun head.

~~~

In the mountains and forests, King Yan Zhu Di was hidden in it, staring at the Goryeo reinforcements marching rapidly at the foot of the mountain, with a bit of praise in his eyes. He was a vassal king with many battles. He started from the grassroots and attached the most importance to first-hand military intelligence. Even when he went deep into the north of the Mo River, he often became the pioneer of the horse exploration.

Look, the marching is urgent and not chaotic. The cavalry is connected in the front and tail, the archers are in the center, and the spearmen are outside. If they encounter an enemy, they can form a formation immediately! Zhu Di said to the generals around him in a low voice, the leader of Goryeo is a general who knows the soldiers!

Although he spoke solemnly, the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command still looked a little contemptuous.

Qiu Fu, a general under Yan Fan, spoke, "Thousands of a sudden, I have something unknown! Why didn't the Goryeo reinforcements go directly to Pyongyang, but instead went to the side. Isn't this delivered to the door directly?

You are used to fighting big wars, and your mind has not turned around! Zhu Di smiled and said, "Goryeo Primary School, you have only put more than 100,000 troops into the country." Although reinforcements can ensure that Pyongyang is not lost, it has no benefit in the overall situation!

Goryeo's troops were hoarded in the Pyongyang area. If our Ming Dynasty transferred another 200,000 troops to surround him, and then conquered another 100,000 troops to enter Seoul, what would he use to resist?

If you want to break the siege of Pyongyang, Goryeo must fight in the field. The only way to survive is to attack from the side. My Ming Dynasty surrounded the flanks of Pyongyang army, regained the highland Kaesong, and formed a horn with Pyongyang!

Qiu Fu thought for a long time, but he didn't understand it. He said, "It's still a thousand-year-old wise man. I know that the wheel knife is so hard that I can't think of these joints!"

It was not what I thought! Zhu Di smiled and sighed. The whole battle was made by the crown prince. From the beginning, what he wanted to fight was to destroy the country of Goryeo! As he said that, he frowned slightly. Such a battle was a big game. At first, I thought it was the idea given to him by the veterans in the army, but later I found out that it was someone who opposed the crowd and convinced the veterans!

As he said, sighed, it was really a genius!

He, Qiu Fu and others looked a little contemptuous. No matter how wise His Highness the Grandpa was, he could not compare to Qiansui. No matter how good you think about the war, it would change even if you fight.

At this moment, footsteps came from the dense forest behind everyone.

Everyone held the weapons tightly, and saw the scout who looked into the horse anxiously came over. Is Chitose there?

What's wrong? Zhu Di asked with a frown.
Chapter completed!
