One Hundred and Nineteen Li Rusong's Bloody Battle of Kaesong (II)
Nurhachi's strong attack was repulsed, and all the troops could not be gathered for a while and a half.
At the moment, there were no cars and artillery, and the siege was blocked, Li Rusong was anxious, anxious and angry, and smashed out with a punch, and with a bang, the wooden door of a private house was smashed open by Li Rusong and fell to the ground, and several frightened shouts came out from the house, and Li Rusong was stunned for a moment......
Tachibana Muneshige repelled two Ming army charges in a row, a little proud in his heart, Satsuma Domain is the first place in Japan to contact firearms, and it is also the first place to organize firearms troops, Satsuma iron gunners are famous throughout Japan, and they are a well-known strong army, this time with Kobayakawa Takakei fighting, all the way like a bamboo, the Koreans were frightened, and the royal capital was captured in 20 days, seeing that Korea was about to die, Japan was about to win, and suddenly, the situation was reversed.

The news of the annihilation of Konishi's entire army from the north made people panic within the Japanese army, and everyone was talking about the defeat of this powerful army under Konishi Yukinaga's command that captured the three Korean capitals, and it failed so badly, so that the Japanese army, which was full of ambition, was violently impacted.
But after all, this is just an impact, not to see and experience it with their own eyes, they have not yet felt intuitively, only intuitively felt, they know the strength of the Ming army, most of the Kaesong is burning, the Ming army suddenly attacked, woke them up from their dreams, and a large number of people fled from Kaesong in a panic, and as the troops behind the palace, and the glory of the Japanese army, they had to follow their main general to stay behind the army, and endure the fear in their hearts and fight.
Fortunately, the Ming cavalry two consecutive small-scale attacks were under their skillful three-stage attack, which more or less gave this group of Japanese troops a little confidence and the momentum they should have, and began to recover a certain will to fight, rather than relying on the personal prestige of Tachibana Muneshige to support, just now after thwarting the Ming army's attack, Tachibana Soshige found that many people around him were relieved and regained the courage to fight.
What you want is the courage to fight, only by fighting, can there be hope, in order to hold on to the end of the army crossing the river, he and Kobayakawa Takakei made an appointment, as long as the army crosses the river as soon as the end, Kobayakawa Takakei will release signal flares, then he can lead the army to retreat, when the time comes, there will be an orderly retreat, as long as there is no chaos, the Ming army will not dare to pursue, and they got the Kaesong estimate is the goal, the goal has been reached, and the possibility of chasing and fighting is not great.
Because Tachibana Somao only gathered more than 1,500 troops in his hands, although he had the castle tower as a commanding height to suppress the Ming army, if the Ming army was really determined to suppress the whole army, it was estimated that he would not be able to get any benefits.
Therefore, Tachibana Zongmao did not choose to go to the city wall, and there were only more than 200 people arranged on the city wall, and the main forces were concentrated on the ground, so that it was convenient to retreat at any time, and it was really a great risk to stay on the city tower and be cut off by the Ming army.
While he was thinking, someone suddenly shouted: "The Ming soldiers are here!" ”
Tachibana Somao hurriedly pulled out his war knife and pointed it in front of him and was about to let the iron gunner fire, but he saw a whole row of strange-shaped planks on the wide road in front of him slowly advancing, Tachibana Somao immediately realized that this was the Ming army using wooden planks as a shield to defend against iron cannons, sneered, and ordered the whole army to shoot.
"Launch !!"
"Bang ......"
"Launch!"
"Bang bang ......"
"Launch!"
"Bang bang ......"
Three salvos, lead bullets flew towards the shield of the Ming army, making a snapping sound, Li Rusong frowned, and did not know whether he could defend against the iron cannon salvo of the Japanese invaders who dismantled the doors and dining tables of the Korean residents and even the wooden beds improvised together, he only remembered that he had heard that Xiao Ruxun used the captured Japanese iron cannon to conduct experiments, and found that the Japanese iron cannon could penetrate a three-inch thick wooden board at the same distance, while the Ming bird's gun could only penetrate about one inch to two inches.
Xiao Ruxun also said what "the medicine room is bigger than my bird, and I have more than 30% of the medicine per bullet, so its range is long, the power is great, and the amount of medicine used by my gun is small, if I only fight with the gun, I am not as good as the wolf", at that time, Li Rusong also felt that Xiao Ruxun was the will of others to destroy his own prestige, and after winning the battle, he said that I am not as good as the Japanese, and now it seems that little Japan has indeed gone farther than the Ming Dynasty on the road of firearms......
Therefore, after the Japanese fired a volley, Li Rusong hurriedly asked about the defensive effect, and after getting the news that "the Japanese guns cannot break through the three-layer wooden shield of our army", Li Rusong breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave an order, and the Korean houses suffered......
Tachibana Somao found that after three volleys, the Ming army quickly retreated, and thought that the tactics worked, but he didn't see any corpses left by the Ming army, and when the Ming army came again, he was dumbfounded.
The Ming army rushed here with more and more strange wooden shields, Li Rusong personally led the troops to charge this time, he wanted to get his face back, and found that the Japanese could not break these "wooden shields", it also ordered to pour water on these wooden shields, and lay out some clothes and quilts, anyway, the clothes and quilts of the Koreans who survived Kaesong were robbed, and the Koreans also wanted to cry without tears......
"Launch !!"
Tachibana Somao immediately ordered to shoot, and the iron gunner hurriedly put out a three-stage attack method and began to fire, and Li Rusong was not to be outdone, and after rushing to the range of the bow, he immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
The Jurchen soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the opposite position of the Japanese in the form of projectiles to the sky, Tachibana Somao did not have so many shields, and could only hold up a layer of rattan shields, and the defense was limited, a group of Japanese soldiers were shot to death, Tachibana Zongmao was furious and ordered the iron gunners on the city wall to start firing condescendingly, and after a volley, seventy or eighty Jurchen soldiers fell to the ground, Li Rusong immediately ordered the army to shoot arrows at the head of the city to shoot back, and then ordered the army to speed up and rush forward.
It was only then that Tachibana Soshige realized that it seemed that the iron cannon could not penetrate those strange-shaped shields, and he panicked slightly, but he quickly calmed down and ordered the soldiers to bring the only ten large iron cannons in his hand and place them in front of the formation.
At this moment, the "wooden shield" could not be stopped, the wooden shields in the front row were broken by this sudden huge blow, Li Rusong's shield soldiers were also knocked to the ground and screamed, at this time, the Japanese were another round of volleys, and seventy or eighty Jurchen soldiers were knocked to the ground, Nurhachi's heart was about to break, and while ordering to release arrows to return fire, he hurriedly pulled Li Rusong to retreat.
Li Rusong looked at the soldiers who kept falling to the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, he picked up a wooden board with a roar, and yelled: "How can I retreat when we are all here!" Retreat to death! There is a glimmer of life in the way forward!! Armies! Rush with me!! ”
