When Xiao Ruxun rushed to the north of the city with the artillery team, Ma Gui was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the city wall. He quickly broke open the city gate with a blitzkrieg and led the army into the city. He took the lead to charge to the city gate and completely killed the Japanese army here. Then, he commanded the army to surround Peony Peak.
In this way, Peony Peak, a strategic military location, was separated from the main city of Pyongyang. When Xiao Ruxun arrived with his army, Ma Gui had already completed the separation and had ordered General Ma Hu to lead the army to launch a tentative attack. In the end, they were beaten back by the intense firepower. They rushed up with their shields, but the even more intense firepower almost broke their shields. Ma Gui had to order a temporary withdrawal and wait for Xiao Ruxun to arrive.
"According to Shen Weijing's information, the pattern on the flag indicates that this army is under the command of a Japanese general called Matsuura Zhenxin. This army basically uses iron cannons and is the main firepower unit under President Xiaoxi. They are skilled in tactics and have strong combat effectiveness. Moreover, the fortress on Peony Peak is made of stone and requires strong firepower to break through. The loss of a strong attack will be too great."
Xiao Ruxun looked at the Japanese gunners on the top of Peony Peak and smiled coldly. "Ma Gui! Lead the army to prepare for an assault! Pass the order! Gunners, line up the artillery and cover the top of Peony Peak with artillery fire! Flatten this fortress for me! I have one hundred cannons. If they fire one thousand times, even steel and iron will bend! "
Under Xiao Ruxun's command, a hundred or so Franc Machine Guns and Crouching Tiger Cannons were all lined up in a row. A soldier raised the flag and shouted, "Load the ammunition!!"
The gunners loaded the ammunition skillfully.
"Light the fire!"
With the wave of the command flag, the gunners immediately lit the fire. Sparks flew and burned all the holes in the line. Then, a series of loud sounds converged into a big shock. The entire top of Peony Peak was covered in artillery fire!
At the foot of the mountain, the Ming Army soldiers even felt the earth shaking.
"Load the ammunition!"
"Light the fire!"
Two rounds of volleys.
"Load the ammunition!"
"Light the fire!"
Three rounds of volleys.
The artillery continued to explode, and the entire top of Peony Peak was almost shrouded in smoke.
After seven rounds of volleys, 700 shells exploded on the top of Peony Peak. Xiao Ruxun ordered the bombardment to stop. Looking at the smoke slowly dissipating, the top of Peony Peak was a mess beyond recognition. He then ordered, "Ma Hu! Lead a thousand men and horses. Saber, shield, spear, and cannon soldiers, get into formation! Go! "
War drums thundered. Brave General Ma Hu led a large formation with iron shields and rushed to the top of the mountain. During the whole process, not a single gunshot was heard.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Xiao Ruxun heard a few sporadic gunshots, followed by intensive gunshots, and then the sound of fighting and impact. When the smoke completely dissipated, Xiao Ruxun clearly saw the Daming War Flag fluttering on the top of Peony Peak.
Half an hour later, Ma Hu came down with a few heads. One of them was wearing some strange headgear and clothes, but it could be seen that his face was neatly trimmed. His status should not be low.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the head of Matsuura Zhenxin." Xiao Ruxun looked at the head and smiled coldly. He then looked at Ma Hu, "How was it? What was the result of the battle?"
"Admiral Hu Wei, the cannons were very powerful. When I led the army, only less than 300 people survived and could resist. The rest were either blown to pieces or killed or injured." Ma Hu weighed the head in his hand as he spoke. He grinned and said, "This guy was guarded by a few guys with sabers. At that time, he was already seriously injured. I guess it was Matsuura Zhenxin? Anyway, all the Japanese pirates up there are dead. Not a single one is alive. "
"Yes, well done. This head is your reward. A general with two thousand men is higher than a Qianhu. It is said that he was a vassal lord of Nihon. His status is not low. Reward him with three hundred silver! Merit recorded! "
Ma Hu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Admiral!"
As Xiao Ruxun spoke, he looked at the city of Pyongyang.
"I don't know what the situation in the city is like. Let's go up and take a look. Peony Peak is the highest point. If we take it, we can overlook the entire city."
As he spoke, Xiao Ruxun began to climb the peak. It took him a while to reach the peak. Xiao Ruxun stood on a piece of broken stone and looked down at the entire city of Pyongyang.
There were attacks from the Ming Army on all four sides of the city, but there were no guards from the Ming Army outside the east gate. This was a path of survival that Xiao Ruxun gave to the Japanese in the city. It was also a dead end. On the road to survival, there were the most terrifying poisonous snakes lurking. They spat out their tongues, waiting for people to come and ruthlessly bite them to death.
The soldiers of the Ming Army in red robes were like a red torrent, ruthlessly destroying the black Japanese defense line. The Japanese had lost their unified command and were in chaos. They were unable to resist the sharp and organized attacks of the Ming Army.
You have iron cannons, I have birdshot formations. You don't have cannons, I do. My firepower is far above yours. My military strength is also above yours. The organization of the army is even better than yours. I can't think of any reason why I will fail.
However, Xiao Ruxun's cheeks quickly twitched.
Under the general trend of the red torrent crushing the black stream, he suddenly saw a very strange scene. A red torrent was overwhelmed by the black stream! It seemed that there was a Japanese army chasing after a Ming Army in red robes …
Xiao Ruxun was a little regretful that she hadn't taken the opportunity to get a pair of binoculars. If she were to wait for the Europeans to spread their knowledge to China, she would have to wait for another 20 years. Binoculars didn't require much technology and could be easily made. If she had a pair of binoculars, she would have been able to see which group of people were from!
"What is going on with that group of people? Is it our Ming Dynasty Army? Isn't this the same as the North Koreans? Then North Korea … huh? What about Li Yi's troops? "
Xiao Ruxun suddenly thought of something and looked back at the Ming Army's formation at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't find the banner of the one thousand five hundred soldiers under the command of North Korean general Li Yi.
Ma Gui seemed to have realized something. "Admiral, could it be that group of North Koreans? I remember we didn't order Li Yi's troops to attack the city, right? "
"Grenade-Throwing Cunning!" Xiao Ruxun fiercely swore. "Ma Hu!"
"I am here!"
Xiao Ruxun pointed inside the city. "Do you see that? The North Korean troops have been defeated by the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates have the possibility of using this road to kill their way out of the west city. Order one thousand sword and shield soldiers to support the west city gate! "
"Yes, sir!"
Ma Hu immediately ran down the peak of Peony Mountain. Not long after, a group of troops moved toward the west city.
"I didn't give the order to Li Yi. How dare he attack on his own?"
Xiao Ruxun looked fiercely at the troops that were being chased by the Japanese in the city.
"It probably has something to do with the King of North Korea. Although we ordered the monk soldiers to attack together, the monk soldiers aren't the King of North Korea's regular army. They probably feel embarrassed."
Ma Gui pondered for a moment.
"Embarrassed? Dignity is earned with a sword and a spear! If he wants to preserve his dignity, he should fight it out for me! The moment he entered the battlefield, he was defeated by the Japanese. Does this count as wanting to preserve his dignity? If we can defeat a motley crew without a commander, how can we expect the North Koreans to help us on the battlefield? At this point, they still don't listen to military orders! I … "
Xiao Ruxun suddenly remembered that Li Yi was replaced by Li Gui after Liu Chenlong replaced him. If he was chased away, Li Gui would probably come out to stir up trouble again …
"Forget it. Since it has come to this, there's no point in talking about it. Brother, lead the troops and attack!"
Ma Gui nodded and cupped his fists. "I will do as you say!"
Xiao Ruxun remained alone on the peak of Peony Mountain. He looked down at the entire Pyeonglang City and occasionally looked into the distance.
