The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

In the early morning, the exact time is unknown, suddenly a cannon shot was heard from the main attack direction of the West City!

So the government troops in other directions immediately knew that the general attack had begun.

Then the cannon shot from the West City direction, and countless cannons began to fire intensively. For a time, the sound shook like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, and the gate tower with a more obvious target was directly blown down.

On the side of Lumen in the South City, Lin Jinglue, who was on the front line to supervise the battle, asked most of the main forces to stay away from the city gate slightly, or hide with the help of the terrain to avoid being seen clearly by the Japanese soldiers on the city head. The cannons deployed five miles away were also blocked by shield carts and were temporarily not allowed to fire.

Only six or seven hundred soldiers wearing Korean military uniforms were deployed at the forefront, waving flags and shouting to rush towards Lumen.

At this time, a row of crisp musket shooting sounds came from the top of the city. Compared with the rumbling cannons from the West City, the sound of musket shooting was indeed very crisp.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers on the top of the city opening fire, hundreds of officers and soldiers in Korean military uniforms immediately dropped their weapons and retreated before they even reached the base of the city wall.

However, under the scolding and threats of the suspected supervisors in the back row, these officers and soldiers rushed up to the city wall again, and then retreated even faster.

After several repeated "attacks", the sound of muskets firing no longer sounded on the top of the city.

At this time, the sound of artillery from the west gate also stopped, and the main force of the army should have started the battle to attack and defend the city wall.

Lin Jinglue, who was supervising the battle, looked at the top of the city wall and said to Luo Shangzhi beside him: "Although the Japanese soldiers' musketeers are sharp, they are far from having one for each person.

As far as I know, the number of Japanese musketeers is generally about one-tenth of the entire army. Based on this ratio, it can be inferred that the number of Japanese musketeers in Pyongyang is about 1,500.

If this number of musketeers is evenly deployed on all the city walls and the Mudan Peak in the north of the city, it is obviously not enough.

After all, musketeers can only exert their maximum power if they shoot intensively. If they are too scattered, their power will be discounted."

Luo Shangzhi only thought about "getting there first", which was the expectation that Lin Jinglue had just fooled out. He is only a lieutenant general now, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Hearing that Lin Jinglüe was still talking, Lieutenant General Luo said impatiently: "What exactly does Jinglüe want to say?"

Lin Tailai pointed out: "What the headquarters means is that the sound of musket shooting can no longer be heard on the top of the South City, which means that the Japanese soldiers may have transferred the musketeers to the West City where the pressure is greater.

It can also be said that the Japanese soldiers in the South City have already despised us and no longer regard us as a huge threat.

So, now is the time to take advantage of the enemy's slackness and attack with all our strength!"

With Lin Jinglüe's order, dozens of large and small artillery pieces that had been stationary outside Lumen left the cover of the shield carts and bombarded the top of the city.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers had no experience of direct confrontation with the Ming army, and they had no understanding of the artillery of the Ming army, and they knew nothing about the scale of the artillery equipment.

In the original history, when the Ming army attacked Pyongyang fiercely, the Japanese pirates also had reinforcements approaching Pyongyang.

However, the Japanese reinforcements heard the rumbling of artillery in the direction of Pyongyang, and they didn't know what it was, so they turned around and retreated.

After a large number of artillery in the direction of the west city fired fiercely, the Japanese soldiers may have thought that so many artillery were all they had, and they didn't think there were many artillery at the Lumen in the south city.

So under the fierce bombardment of dozens of artillery, the Lumen city wall was immediately overturned.

Then the vanguard took off the cumbersome Korean military uniforms, and under the cover of the shield cart, they pushed the hook ladder and officially launched a charge towards the city wall.

The Japanese soldiers who reacted began to smash down with bricks and huge wood, most of which fell on the huge wooden signs of the shield cart.

Under the cover of the shield cart, hook ladders were set up on the top of the city, and then a fierce offensive and defensive battle began.

Judging that there was no threat from the matchlock gun, the heavily armored Lin Jinglue had approached to only twenty feet away from the city wall.

As a civil official who takes charge of the overall situation, Lin Tailai should not be so close to the scene and put himself in danger. He was stimulated and a little impulsive.

On the one hand, he kept warning himself to be rational and calm, but on the other hand, he could not suppress his eagerness to try.

After all, Lin Jinglie was not a pure scholar who was powerless. He also relied on force to fight all the way.

It is also the instinct of a fierce general to boast about his bravery. Seeing the fighting, he felt a little itchy. As the saying goes, "with a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises naturally."

However, Lin Jinglie may not realize how much pressure a big man like him would bring to others by being so close to the front.

Looking at the Minister of Jinglüe standing behind him, Lieutenant General Luo Shangzhi also killed himself and climbed up the hook ladder himself!

Even the Minister of Jinglüe was already standing here. Where else could a small Lieutenant General like him hide except rushing forward?

But just halfway up, Lieutenant General Luo was hit by a huge tree and rolled down the ladder. His luck was really bad.

Lin Tailai subconsciously walked forward again, watching the injured Lieutenant General Luo being carried away, and heard Lieutenant General Luo muttering "The first one to climb is gone, and the general is gone."

The soldiers who attacked in the next wave saw the Minister of Strategy blocking the road, stopped, and stared at the Minister of Strategy in a daze.

Lin Tailai took a deep breath and shouted: "Follow me! Cover me!"

Then the Minister of Strategy grabbed a huge shield, rushed to the hook ladder, and quickly climbed up along the ladder.

The heavy armor and huge shield that could crush others seemed unable to limit Lin Tailai's speed, but provided a strong defense.

Fighting the flying stones and wood like rain, Lin Tailai approached the battlement on the top of the city in the blink of an eye.

On the other side of the battlement, there were three or four Japanese soldiers holding spears and swords, trying their best to block Lin Tailai from climbing the city.

Seeing this, Lin Tailai used all his strength and smashed the giant shield against the Japanese soldiers' heads, knocking down two Japanese soldiers directly.

Another Japanese soldier stabbed over with a spear, and Lin Tailai, who reacted quickly, slightly turned sideways to avoid the spear head, and then grabbed the spear.

At the same time, Lin Tailai jumped onto the battlement with the help of the force, and then held the spear in his hand and exerted force again, directly lifting the entire body of the Japanese soldier at the other end of the spear!

However, the spear shaft could not withstand the force and broke from the middle, and the Japanese soldier who was lifted up fell directly off the city wall and died.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall saw this scene, and everyone was shocked and lost their minds!

Although the Japanese soldier was only 1.5 meters tall, it was not something that a normal person could lift in the air with a spear shaft! What kind of monster is the majestic giant standing on the battlement?

In a flash, Lin Tailai jumped from the battlement into the city wall and picked up a familiar-looking samurai sword, or Japanese sword, from the ground.

Among the Japanese who blocked the battlement just now, there should be a Japanese general, but he was knocked unconscious by the huge shield.

After picking up the Japanese sword, Lin Tailai stabbed the Japanese general on the floor.

At this time, Lin Tailai muttered in his heart, not knowing who this Japanese general was.

If he could find out his name later, this person was killed by himself first, which would be a name that could be recorded in history.

Other Japanese soldiers around also reacted, and rushed up to besiege with spears raised. The weapons of ordinary Japanese soldiers were spears.

Lin Tailai quickly glanced at a group of small people who were not as tall as his chest.

The equipment was uniform, wearing a bamboo hat, a "vest" on the upper body, and a circle around the lower body that looked like a "lotus leaf skirt", which was indeed a bit hot from an aesthetic point of view.

Without time to think too much, Lin Tailai, who was covered in heavy armor, waved his Japanese sword and rushed into the group of Japanese soldiers, avoiding the spear tip.

Like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, he fought directly in close combat to limit the power of the spear to the greatest extent.

With the great strength of Lin Tailai's arms, the well-made Japanese sword played an extreme role in the melee!

Often with one slash, the neck and shoulder of the Japanese soldier can be chopped off together!

After chopping several people alive, Lin Tailai was already covered in blood! There is a poem that says: "Like the demon lord from the sky, he is really the Tai Sui God on earth!"

The Japanese soldiers in the front row were so scared that they would rather be chased and chopped than step back, completely losing the courage to fight the enemy!

Lin Tailai felt that he had experienced hundreds of battles since he traveled through time, but he had never enjoyed chopping as much as today.

There was no need to hold back at all, it felt so good to kill.

It was just that this Japanese sword was a bit brittle, and it broke after chopping dozens of people.

Behind Lin Tailai, the military officer Dayun led the most courageous guards and rushed to the city wall, following Lin Tailai to fight.

The Japanese soldiers defending on the Lumen city wall finally collapsed and began to flee towards the city.

Lin Tailai, whose body turned red, felt a little tired, so he sat on the bricks to recover his strength and gave follow-up orders to the columns in the south city.

The soldiers who participated in the attack on the city wall took a temporary rest and reorganized, while the other soldiers passed through the city gate and quickly advanced into the city until they encountered strong resistance.

The Japanese soldiers also built six fortresses in the city, and the south city was a "partial division" rather than the main force, and did not have the strength to attack the city on a large scale, so they could just divide and surround it first.

Then Lin Tailai told Dayun: "The Japanese general I stabbed to death has great historical significance. Cut off his head and keep it carefully."

Dayun said helplessly: "General Jinglüe! You ordered before that the government troops were not allowed to waste time on cutting heads!"

Lin Jinglüe said very skillfully: "That was an order for you. This department does not need to execute it."

Then Lin Jinglüe pointed to the city wall and said: "Can the brick road on the city wall lead to the ordinary gate on the west?"

Dayun shook his head, "This situation is not clear, and the map is not clearly marked."

From the map, it can be seen that although Lumen is located in the south city, it is more biased to the southwest corner.

From Lumen, turn west along the city wall, and then turn north not far away to the ordinary gate of the west city. I just don't know if it can be passed in reality.

"Try to see if you can go directly over the city wall!" Lin Tailai stood up, "Anyway, the main task of breaking through Lumen has been completed, so you can do whatever you want."

Da Yun replied, "If the general is willing to investigate, you can bring a thousand people from the headquarters and dispatch another three hundred archers to deal with sudden enemies."

Then Lin Jinglie returned the military command of Lumen to the injured Luo Shangzhi, and then led the personal soldiers of the headquarters to explore along the city wall.

After clearing out the small patrolling Japanese soldiers along the way, they turned north to the west city wall and finally encountered a large group of Japanese soldiers.

After a fierce battle, Lin Tailai led his army to defeat this group of Japanese soldiers, and now they can see the collapsed gate tower of the ordinary gate.

"It seems that we can really get through!" Lin Tailai ordered in surprise: "Charge! Take the two gates in one go!"

Just at this time, the Japanese soldiers defending the ordinary gate of the west city suddenly seemed to have received some orders, and retreated from the city gate like a tide, and all withdrew back to the city.

By the time Lin Tailai rushed to the Pugong Gate Tower along the city wall, the Japanese soldiers on this side had already fled.

Da Yun couldn't help but sigh: "There are also people who know the art of war among the Japanese soldiers. They retreated so decisively."

It was already afternoon. Outside the Pugong Gate city wall, Li Rubai, who was in charge of commanding eight columns to attack the Pugong Gate, frowned.

Two rounds of bombardment and several assaults have been organized, with 150 casualties, but the city is always one step away from being broken.

This state of always being "one step away" is the most torturous.

The only good news is that the other main attack direction, the Seven Star Gate, has not been broken so far.

Today, the most advantageous forces are concentrated on the West City Ordinary Gate and the Seven Star Gate. As long as the progress is not behind the other side, the situation is not bad.

Li Rusong, the commander of the First Corps and in charge of supervising the battle in the West City, rode over here and asked his brother Li Rubai, "Have you climbed the city?"

Li Rubai said with a bitter face, "I climbed the city twice, but I didn't stand firm."

Li Rusong instructed, "Don't rest, each battalion will take turns to attack the city! The Japanese soldiers' equipment is also limited!"

Then Li Rusong said sternly, "You are afraid that Lin Jinglue, the disciple of Qi Shaobao, will favor the southern soldiers, so you asked me to replace you to supervise the battle here so that I can get credit for you.

Lin Jinglue didn't say it, but he must have something in his mind! I'm using my face to help you bear it.

But if you can't get credit again, you will bear the consequences!"

Li Rubai's forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly continued to organize elite troops to attack the top of the city.

He even began to consider whether he should deliberately get injured to escape the consequences?

At this moment, the guard standing on the cloud platform in charge of lookout suddenly shouted: "Retreat! All the Japanese soldiers on the city wall have retreated!"

The two Li brothers suddenly looked up and looked at the ordinary gate. The Japanese soldiers who should have flashed on the battlement did disappear without a trace.

"Is there a trick?" Li Rusong said to himself.

Whether there is a trick or not, we have to send people to the city wall to try.

When the reorganized siege elites climbed halfway, a huge figure with a red body suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and looked at the government soldiers who climbed halfway.

What surprised the government soldiers outside the city was that the outline of the armor on this person should be in the style of the Ming Dynasty.

"I am Lin Tailai, the Minister of the Great Ming Dynasty!" The huge red figure shouted at the government soldiers outside the city, "I haven't seen you for half a day. How are you, Governor Li?"

Li Rusong: "."

Fuck! You are a civil official, do you have an addiction to climbing the city? Can you give your fellow generals a chance to survive?

Li Rubai next to him was shocked: "No way? Lin Jinglie surrendered to the enemy?"

Li Rusong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wished he could beat his brother back to his mother's womb and retrain him.

After revealing his identity, Lin Tailai lowered his head and said to the soldiers climbing the ladder: "Little brother, don't climb anymore. Wait for the headquarters to open the city gate and walk in through the city gate."

General Li outside the city suddenly lost interest. Everything was so boring. As long as that person is there, the limelight will always belong to that person.
