That was what Xiao Ruxun thought, and that was what she did.
On this point, Li Rusong was the same. Although he had an idea in his mind, it was just an idea. Divination before the war was the habit of the ancient generals. The Liaodong Army had come to make a divination for the sake of elegance. He also participated in it, but it was just a process and a formality.
He never pinned his hopes on others. In the Liaodong Army, where the strong were as numerous as the clouds, the one with the bigger fist was the boss. The naked law of the jungle was not embellished, and it trained his extremely tough character.
Therefore, Li Rusong accepted the task without hesitation. He was going to take 5,000 cavalrymen to do something that was almost impossible. Since Li Rusong agreed, he must have his own ideas.
From Xiao Ruxun, he asked for 1,000 Three-eye Guns, which were no longer used by the army, and a batch of large-sized guns to be the firepower of his troops. He also got more than 100 sets of Korean clothes and headscarves. He ordered the whole army to travel day and night, and on the night of November 12th, they arrived at the outskirts of Kaesong.
After resting for most of the night, Li Rusong ordered the whole army to get up before dawn and get ready to ambush. At dawn, the gate of Kaesong opened, and hundreds of captured Koreans staggered out of Kaesong under the watch of Japanese pirates. They went to the mountains on the west side of Kaesong in batches to cut firewood for the army of Japanese pirates.
Li Rusong was overjoyed. Regardless of Nurhachi's dissuasion, he personally changed into the ragged clothes of the Koreans, and with 100 elite retainers, he spread out and mixed into several woodcutting teams.
There were about 30 Japanese pirates guarding these Koreans. Each of them was holding iron cannons and had long knives hanging on their waists. They looked disinterested, and from time to time, they would kick a Korean who was not doing his work properly, as if they were going to kill him. Then they would laugh at the funny appearance of the Koreans kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Li Rusong curled his lips disdainfully, and thought to himself, "Grandpa will soon send you to heaven."
Four hours later, the Wokou pirates began to urge the group of Koreans to return. Li Rusong and the others were also pushed back by the Wokou pirates. When the group of Koreans finally arrived at the city gates, Li Rusong raised his head and saw a man who looked like a Wokou pirate leading a Korean who was obviously a traitor. They were counting the heads of the Koreans one by one. Every time they were counted, they would be counted, and every time they were counted, they would be counted, and every time they were counted, they would be counted.
One or two was fine, but suddenly there were more than 100 heads. Anyone could see that something was wrong. Although these Koreans did not seem to notice it, Li Rusong did not dare to say that he did not notice it.
Touching the dagger hidden in his chest, Li Rusong looked around at the retainers around him, and his heart was slightly at ease. He slowly moved forward with the line.
The Japanese and the traitor seemed to have noticed something was wrong. They moved towards Li Rusong's position and carefully counted the number of people. Something was wrong. The traitor opened his mouth and spoke a bunch of Korean to a Liaodong retainer. Only a ghost could understand it.
The retainer did not get a signal from Li Rusong, and only lowered his head to look at Li Rusong. Li Rusong calculated for a moment, and nodded at him imperceptibly.
The traitor saw that the "captive" in front of him did not speak, and felt strange. He reached out his hand to hit him, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He looked down, and his eyes widened.
A dagger was firmly inserted into his abdomen, and with a forceful twist, the traitor cried out in pain and fell to the ground. At the same time, the Japanese pirate officer was suddenly ambushed by one of Li Rusong's retainers. A knife was stabbed into his abdomen, and he looked at the person who killed him in disbelief. In the end, he did not say what he should have said.
"Fire the whistling arrows! Do it!! "
Li Rusong made a prompt decision, and tore off the scarf on his head. He led his retainers to pull out their daggers and ambush the Japanese pirates who were caught off guard. These Japanese pirates were not prepared, and one by one, they were stabbed to death. The swords on their waists were pulled out and became the soldiers' weapons. Following that, Li Rusong pushed through the crowd of North Korean refugees who were screaming in panic and rushed into the city.
The Japanese pirates on and below the city heard the whistling arrows, but it was too chaotic outside. There were North Koreans running everywhere. Although they knew that something was wrong, they did not know what. If it was only the North Koreans who wanted to escape, then it would be easy to deal with. But if it was the Ming Army attacking, then it would be over.
Thus, a group of people rushed down the city, while another group hurriedly closed the city gates and retracted the drawbridge.
Li Rusong led his men into the city, and killed a number of Japanese pirates who had been thrown into confusion by the North Korean refugees. He successfully rushed into the city, and suddenly heard a creaking sound. He cursed inwardly, the Japanese pirates were about to close the city gates. Thus, he shouted loudly, "A few of you go up and hold the drawbridge! You few! Follow me up the city gates!! "
As General Li was about to rush up the city gates, he bumped into a group of Japanese pirates who were coming down. When they saw Li Rusong, who was dressed in North Korean clothes but was covered in blood, they were stunned for a moment before becoming furious. Obviously, they thought that this was an escape attempt by the North Koreans, and not a military operation by the Ming Army.
However, just as they were feeling a little relieved, they saw these "North Koreans" fearlessly charging forward. In their panic, they did not even have the time to fire their guns before they were hacked to death by Li Rusong and his men. Following that, another group of retainers followed up. With confidence, Li Rusong led a group of men to kill their way up the city walls. They consecutively cut down a dozen Japanese pirates, and rushed up the city walls. The Japanese pirates did not have the time to fire their guns, and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with Li Rusong and his men.
Seeing the "North Koreans" kill their way up the city walls, the frightened Japanese pirates immediately sent men to resist. At the same time, they hastened to retract the city gates. In the end, they were unable to move the wheel, and were unable to retract the city gates. A few Japanese pirates looked down, and were instantly shocked!
Three burly men held onto the end of the city gates, using their own weight to support themselves, preventing the Japanese pirates from retracting the city gates. A few Japanese pirates were enraged, and raised their guns to fire a few times. One of the burly men was shot to the side, and he fell to the ground, dead. The Japanese pirates on the city walls heard the heart-wrenching scream, and a cruel smile appeared on their faces.
Then, they turned around, and pairs of bloodshot eyes glared at them. What greeted them was a pair of gleaming steel swords, and they were produced by them.
"Dalang! Look! They're here!!! "
A servant pointed outside the city and shouted. Li Rusong focused his eyes and saw that not far away, a black mass of cavalry was charging over. Li Rusong was overjoyed, and immediately led his men to continue the charge, hoping to completely control the city gates. At this time, the Japanese pirates in the city finally reacted. Taking over the city gates was not something that the North Koreans could do if they wanted to escape. Other than the Ming Army, who was trying to take over the city, there was no one else who could do such a thing.
The Japanese pirates in the city quickly reacted, and they all moved closer to the city gates. The servants that Li Rusong brought also quickly entered the city and took control of the city gates. Facing the bullets fired by the Japanese pirates, they used the corpses of the Japanese pirates as shields. Li Rusong saw with his own eyes that one of the servants carried a Japanese pirate's corpse as he charged towards several Japanese pirates and began to kill. Unfortunately, he was soon shot to death by even more Japanese pirates.
At this moment, there were still many real North Korean refugees mixed in with Li Rusong's retainers. The Wokou pirates couldn't tell them apart and decided to attack all at once. The number of North Koreans far outnumbered the retainers, and the retainers were quick witted. They used the corpses of the North Koreans as shields, or pulled the North Koreans over to use as shields to block the bullets. By the time the Wokou pirates were reloading their guns, the twenty or so retainers had already rushed forward and started slaughtering the North Koreans.
Once they engaged in close combat with the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates further away would not be able to continue firing, and could only pull out their long swords and join in the fray. This was Li Rusong's goal. With things having come to this point, Li Rusong roared and led the rest of his men into the fray. Taking the lead, his bravery was unstoppable. Although the Japanese pirates had come to their aid, they were ultimately unable to break through Li Rusong's valiant defense.
The thing that Li Rusong was least afraid of was personally charging and breaking through enemy lines. The thing that he loved the most was to take the lead and seize the flag!
