Chapter 722 The real spring in Xijing(2/2)
Shun'an is only about five hundred miles away from Kaicheng, so emergency reports can be delivered very quickly.
A few days later, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Corps, Li Yu, arrived in Shun'an and received a seemingly incomprehensible order.
"The traitor general Quan Li of Korea colluded with the Japanese pirates and kidnapped Lord Linhai from our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers with evil intentions.
The city is full of officials and people, many of whom cooperate and rebel.
Order your troops to march to Pyongyang City immediately, with the mission of wiping out all rebellion!"
A few light words from hundreds of miles away can determine the lives and fate of countless people. This is the willfulness of power.
In the Battle of Ningxia the year before last, Li Yu and Lin Tailai fought together for several months and fought three battles together. They knew the character of this strategic officer very well.
If I hesitate even a little bit about Duke Jinglue's order, I'm afraid I will have to return home within a few days of entering North Korea.
Therefore, Li Yu did not dare to slack off and immediately raised troops to march towards Pyongyang City.
Unwilling to be left alone, Shen Weijing sent people to spread rumors that Linhaijun had been kidnapped by Japanese pirates, which made Tianshuai furious. He regarded Pyongyang City as a traitor and sent a large army to carry out indiscriminate encirclement and suppression.
So when Lee Ho's Fourth Corps arrived outside Pyongyang, they only saw the closed city gate! It seems that the rumors are really scary.
However, Li Yu was furious about this. There is actually a city gate closed to the Ming Dynasty’s army in the north of North Korea? It’s a real sign of rebellion!
Quan Li, Zheng Renhong, and Liu Chenglong all boarded the city gate tower, with bitterness on their faces.
The situation was developing so fast, and they were still evaluating public opinion feedback, but the Ming army was already approaching the city.
All the explanations they fantasized about were powerless in front of the army.
Wasn't it just a joke before? Why did you react so seriously to Jing Lue Gong?
Quan Li sent people to shout outside the city: "Don't attack the city! What a misunderstanding!"
But no reply was received, and the only response was the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery.
"It's over, it's over!" Liu Chenglong muttered to himself with a bloodless face.
My hunch was right. Tianshuai, who was accused of "collaborating with the Japanese", was like being given a pretext to declare war, and he would despise all morality!
The Heavenly Soldiers didn't give any chance to explain at all. They were clearly preparing to die together and not leave anyone alive!
This must be Lin Tailai's will, otherwise the heavenly soldiers would never dare to act like this!
Half an hour later, the city was broken, and the heavenly soldiers entered the city separately and guarded the passage outside the city and the Datong River.
In the city, if you see anyone wearing official robes of the Li Dynasty, kill him! If you see anyone who is suspected to be a non-Ming soldier general, kill him!
The real Spring in Xijing has only now officially begun.
Chapter completed!
