"Follow me and kill!!!"
Li Rusong's eyes were bloodshot. He cut a Japanese pirate in half with one slash of his saber. He took a step forward and forcefully knocked another person away. With a horizontal sweep of his saber, he cut the throats of three Japanese pirates. Five Japanese pirates were killed in an instant. Covered in blood, he looked like a god of death. Roaring like a tiger, the ordinary Japanese pirates did not dare to get close to him. The Japanese pirate officer screamed and rushed to fight with him. After a few rounds, Li Rusong slashed away the saber in his hand and grabbed his throat with one hand.
Li Rusong stared at him and squeezed hard with his palm. The Japanese pirate officer's eyes immediately rolled back. Li Rusong threw him behind and continued to rush forward.
Although Li Rusong was indeed brave and fearless, and his retainers also fought with their lives on the line and never retreated, they were still few in number. Retainers were constantly hacked to death by the Japanese pirates with their long sabers or spears. They sacrificed themselves heroically, but none of them retreated.
Li Rusong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Those were his family, his bodyguards, and his brothers who had grown up with him!!
"Nu 'er! Why aren't you here yet!! "
Li Rusong slashed seven or eight Japanese pirates in a row and roared to the sky.
What responded to him was the familiar neighing of horses and the firing of the Three-eyed Blunderbuss.
"Dalang! I'm coming!! "
Nurhaci arrived at the most critical moment. The cavalrymen on horseback skillfully lit the fuse of the Three-eyed Blunderbuss and fired continuously, knocking the Japanese pirates off their feet. Then the cavalrymen directly rushed up with the Three-eyed Blunderbuss. Each time they caught a Japanese pirate, they would hit the Japanese pirates' body or head with the Three-eyed Blunderbuss like a sledgehammer. The Japanese pirates were all knocked away by the powerful force. A few unlucky ones' heads were directly blown up. Red and white matter sprayed all over the faces and bodies of the people around them.
The Three-eyed Blunderbuss belonged to the old era and was one of the firearms most commonly used by the Liaodong cavalrymen. Nurhaci, who was born out of the Liaodong cavalrymen, would also teach his Jurchen elite soldiers to use the Three-eyed Blunderbuss. Although it could only be fired once and its accuracy was not very good, it could be used as a mace after firing. Many Liaodong cavalrymen rushed up to the enemy and fired their ammunition. Then, they would directly swing the Three-eyed Blunderbuss and use it as a mace. Every time they hit the enemy, they would bleed from their seven orifices and fall to the ground.
After such a heavy blow, the group of Japanese pirates surrounding the city gate completely collapsed. They were killed by the Liaodong Han cavalrymen and the Jurchen cavalrymen who rushed in first. Li Rusong grabbed a horse, waved the saber in his hand and shouted, "Brothers! Follow me and kill!!! "
"Kill!!!"
The cavalrymen let out angry and excited roars. The most primitive killing genes in their bodies were awakened, stimulating them to continuously move forward and forward!
This time, the Japanese pirates were no longer in a state of waiting for the Ming Army cavalrymen to walk into the trap. They were scattered in every corner of the city and were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Ming Army. They retreated step by step. Li Rusong also ordered the Ming Army to set fires along the way to create chaos so that the Japanese couldn't tell how many people the Ming Army had come to attack, causing panic.

Anyway, it was the Korean city that was burned and the people who died were the Korean people. He didn't feel bad at all. In the area of burning, killing, and looting, the Jurchen cavalrymen who were full of skill points said that they were extremely good at this kind of thing and guaranteed to give full marks!
Coincidentally, it was a westerly wind that day, and the wind was not weak. Thick black smoke flowed along the west gate to the east gate. The Japanese troops in the east district who had not yet been attacked panicked when they saw the thick black smoke rising and drifting towards them.
The news of the complete annihilation of Little Westward Traveller's troops in Pyongyang had spread. This was thanks to the soldiers under Kuroda Nagamasa's command, who exaggerated the news to the soldiers under Kobayakawa Takakage's command. Then, everyone trembled and turned pale. They were inexplicably terrified of the general of the Ming Army, Xiao Ruxun, who caused the fiasco.
At this time, someone shouted, "The Ming Army is coming!" and took the lead to escape. This immediately caused more and more soldiers to abandon their designated defensive positions and escape. The officers wanted to stop them but couldn't. There were even officers who took the lead to escape.
The power of the battle had reached such a level.
At this moment, the ten thousand soldiers under Kobayakawa Takakage and seven thousand under Kuroda Nagamasa were supposed to guard the city. But due to the strict orders from Seoul, they had to send their troops to the other side of the Imjin River in batches. Due to resistance and humiliation, they moved very slowly. It had been three days, and only about five thousand troops had been withdrawn. In other words, there were at least twelve thousand Japanese pirates guarding the city at this moment.
The commotion at the west gate did not attract the attention of Kobayakawa Takakage and Kuroda Nagamasa. At this time, Kobayakawa Takakage was in the city, and Kuroda Nagamasa was arranging the troops to cross the river. They did not expect the Ming Army to suddenly launch a surprise attack. The information they received was that since half a month ago, the main force of the Ming Army had been stationed in Pyongyang and had not moved south. It seemed that they were preparing for something.
However, the loud noise was still heard by Kobayakawa Takechi, whose hearing had deteriorated a little due to his old age. He stood up in a panic and ran out of his mansion, only to hear the frightening noise.
"What's wrong?!"
He quickly asked the people around him, but the people around him were also confused and at a loss. He was so angry that he immediately kicked the people around him and asked them to go out and gather information. He rushed back to the house and began to put on his armor. At the same time, he prayed that it was not the Ming Army that had launched a surprise attack. He also cursed the bastards who had gone out to find the enemy.
His luck was obviously not good today.
When he put on his armor and ordered the troops to assemble, the people who were outside to gather information came in and confirmed that the west gate had been successfully attacked by the Ming Army. The Ming Army cavalry had already entered the city. No one knew how many there were, and the Ming Army was setting fires along the way. The fire was already burning. Half of the Japanese troops were in chaos, and the other half was thinking about life in confusion.
Kobayakawa Takakage looked at the large amount of black smoke and the raging fire in the city not far away. He was terrified.
His remaining reason and military knowledge told him that Kai City could not be defended, and there was no need to defend it. The burned city had lost the meaning of defending it, and there was no basis for stationing troops. In fact, it was already a ruined city. No matter how many troops they had, they could not defend a ruined city. When the fire started, the morale of the troops had already been broken. The surprise attack of the Ming Army was really unexpected.
At this moment, the thing that the old man regretted the most was that he did not follow the order of Yukito Hideki's family and gather all the troops to the east bank of Imjin River within three days. Now, he did not know how many losses there would be. If the losses were too great and the Ming Army chased after them across Imjin River, it would really be a disaster.
Kobayakawa Takakage was, after all, a veteran of the battlefield. After a short period of panic, he immediately regained his composure and immediately made a few arrangements.
First, he ordered his subordinates and family warriors to spread out in search of the scattered troops and immediately gather them at the East City Gate. Then, he would quickly leave Kai City and cross the river. Second, he ordered his most capable subordinate, Tachibana Munao, to bring all the troops and horses that he could gather to defend the East City Gate. This was to prevent the Ming army from breaking through the East City Gate and pursuing the main force that was crossing the river. This was to prevent the main forces of the Sixth and Third Armies from suffering too many losses in the chaos.
After giving these two orders, Kobayakawa Takakage left the temporary command headquarters with his family warriors, left Kai City, and rushed to the river, ready to cross the river with Kuroda Nagamasa.
