More than a dozen people held a wooden ladder, shouting and rushing forward, this wooden ladder is extremely simple, looking at just a dozen logs of different lengths tied up, not even the bark has been peeled off, on both sides of the wooden ladder, there are Jurchen soldiers with bows and arrows, constantly shooting arrows upward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The number of Jurchens was far greater than the number of Japanese robbers in front of them, and the ashigaru and samurai inside were suppressed and could not show their heads, and there were seven or eight such wooden ladders on the left and right, and soon they broke into the front of the wooden fence and put the wooden ladder up, and there were Jurchen warriors who followed behind and rushed up with iron bones and broadswords.

began to climb and rush in, the bow and arrow stopped, and the samurai and ashigaru inside cried and shouted to get up and fight, and there was a man who bullied the Jurchen warrior who had just landed unsteadily, shouting and stabbing with a spear, but was yelled by the Jurchen warrior on the opposite side, and directly cut off the spear, and then took a step forward, half of his body was chopped off.

There is also that Japanese warrior with a hot brain, holding a knife in both hands, to fight alone with the Jurchens who came in, his knife is indeed fast, and he has been trained, but as soon as he jumped, he was hit in the head by the axe thrown by his opponent, and he was directly accounted.

The Jurchen warriors soon had blood on their bodies, some enemies and some of their own, after all, the weapons held by the Jurchens were not toys, but also blades that could kill and injure people, but the Jurchens didn't care about the wounds that did not affect their actions, and they still shouted and fought, and it was often the enemy on the opposite side who was cold first.

The Jurchens were brave and brave, but they were not reckless, the foot soldiers broke into a certain distance, and some people turned back and opened the gate of the stone, and the people outside were all rushing in, holding bows and arrows on the periphery, just splashing inside, and after a while, there was no resistance to the hundreds of people.

There were Japanese who wanted to kneel and surrender, and before they could say anything, they were killed by the red-eyed Jurchens who walked a few steps to him, slashed them with a knife, and walked directly with their heads.

There was no resistance in the courtyard, and there were people searching every room, and there were people hiding in it who were lucky, and they were all slaughtered crisply.

A group of people outside surrounded Wang Tong, watching the battle in front of them, and when the Jurchens poured out, someone waved their hands to Wang Tong, and everyone knew that the battle was over.

"The Jurchen youth in Haixi is really good, and they don't look tired even after beating seven Japanese villages in one day."

Someone there exclaimed and said, but Wang Tong opened his mouth and commanded:

"Give the silver according to the head, bandage the wounded, send someone to contact the supply convoy, camp on the spot, and rest tonight!"

At this time, the sun was sinking in the west, and the sky was already a little dark, and when he heard Wang Tong's order, everyone agreed loudly, Wang Tong turned to Ma Sanbiao and said with a smile:

"In the past, it was not uncommon for them to give them silver, because there were not so many things to buy, and there was no place to spend money, but now a large number of merchants have entered, collected their products, and sold them goods, and they have become more and more aware of the benefits of silver.

Ma Sanbiao shook his head and smiled there, today can be regarded as a success, everyone's mood is good, Wang Tong smiled, and ordered again:

"Tonight, we must also scatter all the horses, to know the movements of the Japanese army, we must be accurate, we must see is believing, do not send the Jurchens, use our own sons."

Ma Sanbiao agreed, hurriedly went over to prepare for the arrangement, set up camp at night, although the Jurchens had many casualties during the day, they broke the stronghold of seven Japanese robbers, saw more than 2,000 heads, and directly replaced them with heavy silver, all of them were very elated, Wang Tongsan's order was not allowed to drink, but everyone wanted to be happy There is also a way, so they simply went into the mountains to hunt, and got a lot of wild things, stewed and barbecued, the whole camp was full of meat, and everyone's mood was very high.

The arrival of military news was much faster than Wang Tong expected, and when it was dark and the camp was still laughing and laughing, there were already three soldiers and horses in return, saying that Kato Kiyomasa had led the army to leave Hamxing Mansion early in the morning and go all the way south.

The time of departure of the cavalry brigade led by Wang Tong was roughly estimated, and it was only after Li Hutou and they were stationed on the southern border of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province and completely blockaded the north and south of Korea.

The Forbidden Brigade cut off the Korean Peninsula and blocked the retreat of the 2nd Legion of the Japanese in Hamgyong Province, and they had to break through before they could join up with the brigade to the south, or they would be trapped in a dead position.

……

"Qingzheng Palace, don't you need to notify those outpost strongholds in the north of Xianxing Mansion?"

A Japanese general dressed in Nanban armor leaned around Kato Kiyomasa and asked, Kato Kiyomasa's beard was quite luxuriant, which was also one of the origins of his name Tiger Kato, he touched his beard there and said:

"If the Ming cavalry coming from the north does not want to be hindered by the grain route, they must be uprooted one by one, which will delay their time and give us a chance to win, I believe that they are willing to do so, and they will become gods in Korea."

The big tune is sung, but the meaning is very clear, that is, these people are to be completely abandoned, in addition to the direct troops of the daimyos, there are some teams that were originally the people of the wild samurai country, and they are gathered in the big army, everyone knows what Toyotomi Hideyoshi's original intention is, attacking the Ming Kingdom and Korea to expand the territory is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is necessary to consume the strength of the daimyo who have not been very convinced in the western country.

Although the world is now peaceful and the princes are subjugated to the Toyotomi family, but in the two hundred years of the Warring States period, no one dares to say that it has been peaceful, everyone tries to draw out a part of the elite to stay in the homeland, and fill it with the miscellaneous pieces of temporary recruitment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is also a shrewd person, and the people below him are also heroes, and such a small trick does not dare to make too much, but the more than 2,000 people who were arranged by Kato Kiyomasa to garrison in the north are all this kind of full, and it has nothing to do with life and death, and it is better to die cleanly.

"His Royal Highness Kiyosho, it is said that the Ming Kou army that is blocked in the south is the most elite, I think that it is more important to stay in Hamhung Mansion and contact His Royal Highness Mori Yoshicheng and His Royal Highness Shimazu on the side of Gangwon Province, otherwise, let's go to Ping'an Road to attack Ming Ko's flank......"

"If I could take the mountain road to Ping'an Road, I would have done it a month ago, and now there is an army of more than 100,000 Ming Kou entrenched there, and we have no other end than becoming a god in the past, as for the Ming Kou in the south, although it is elite, it is stupidly divided into troops to garrison, almost full of words. o The road will dilute their strength, as long as we have the whole army to attack one place, and fight more and less, we will easily break through and join up with Gangwon Province. ”

Kato Kiyomasa said angrily, and the samurai who made the suggestion on the side nodded again and again in agreement and said:

"This is what Ieyasu Gong said, to fight more and fight less, and to solve it quickly, the Qingzheng Hall is really high."

Kato Kiyomasa grinned, touched his beard and said:

"We have been gone for two days, and the troops of Myeongko entering Hamgyong Province will still have time to delay on the side of Hamgyong Province, and when we break through the blockade in the south, we will join the Fourth Army of His Highness Mori Yoshisung in Gangwon Province and set up a position to meet this Myeongko."

The topography of Hamgyong Province is that the mountainous areas to the west and north wrap the entire area, and the further south you go, the flatter the terrain becomes.

Seeing that the sun is in the middle of the day, and the nearby river is not small, Kato Kiyomasa is about to order the whole army to stop for a short time, and then move forward after lunch.

Before Kato Kiyomasa gave the order, he stepped up to the top of the side, looked at the back end of the line as usual, checked if there was anything abnormal, and then made a decision.

"Inujiro, you go to the north to see, what's going on!"

He saw that there were already signs of a commotion in the northern section of the brigade, and he hurriedly beckoned a flag warrior beside him to prepare to go over and check.

Not long after the flag warrior ran out, someone from there had already hurriedly run over, and several of the warriors on their horses turned pale, and when they came to them, they even forgot to dismount and salute, and said there angrily:

"Qingzheng Palace, Qingzheng Palace, Mingkou's cavalry has caught up, Mingkou's cavalry has caught up!!"

By this time, there was some commotion in the whole procession, for many people felt the tremor of the ground, not the kind of earthquake that the country was familiar with, but a more regular tremor, from the north, from the east and west, as if it had been outflanked.

Hearing the news, Kato Kiyoshi held down the handle of the knife with his hand, and the whole person shook twice on the horse, almost not sitting firmly, and when he opened his mouth again, his voice was already a lot hoarse, but he still roared:

"The whole army is in formation, formation, iron cannons, large barrels and archery teams are transferred to this formation, and !! quickly"

The flag warrior beside him was already panicked, and hurriedly passed the order, and Kato Kiyomasa shouted again:

"Order the Nabeshima and Sagara divisions to advance southward, and not let Mingko's cavalry occupy the high point on the other side of the road!!"

The horses kept circling in place, Kato Kiyomasa pulled the reins with one hand, while roaring loudly there, on a high ground on the east side of this army, there was a Ming cavalry wearing light armor appeared, stopped the horse and looked at it, shook the reins and rushed towards this army of Japanese robbers, the Japanese from top to bottom, many people stared at this cavalry, the Ming cavalry rushed out of dozens of steps, countless cavalry emerged from the high ground, like a tide rushing here
