Last time, the Ming army won a great victory in Pyongyang, killing the Japanese army without leaving a piece of armor, and began to continue the pursuit. But in fact, Li Rusong did not want to continue to pursue, because the Ming army now had little grain and grass left, but at the strong request of the Korean monarchs, they had to make a quick decision.
The ming army marched all the way on light horses and came to the BihouGuan. Let's explain what kind of museum and what museum refer to the stations set up in North Korea, and in many historical sources, these stations have become the names of Korean places.
At the time of the Ming army's attack, the Japanese army was in a panic in Seoul, and they knew that as soon as Governor Konishi was defeated in Pyongyang, the Ming army would immediately begin to attack. As for when they have no bottom in their own hearts. Only a few scouts had to be sent out to see what was going on. On January 26, the Ming army finally arrived, but it was not a large army, but a vanguard. Li Rusong believed that the Japanese army would definitely lay an ambush in this place, and it was necessary to rely on the vanguard to go in and investigate the situation.
The commander of this vanguard was called Cha DaFu. He was a close general of Li Rusong. Cha Dafu was a fool and bold, and he actually went directly to the outskirts of Seoul. As he walked, he came across a group of Japanese scouts, and hey hey Ichiraku and killed them all. But the Japanese fled back to Seoul to ventilate the news. The general of the Japanese army is Takakei Kohayakawa, known as the first wise general of the Japanese Sengoku period. Hearing this news, Hayakawa immediately laid down an ambush circle.
The Japanese troops here are preparing for battle intensively, so what is Li Rusong doing? After he received this news, he couldn't help but clench his fists secretly. Since the Japanese devils are so weak, then I directly led my cavalry to kill them, and did not wait for those Zhejiang soldiers who were grinding and chirping, and this great merit was not all mine? On the second day, no matter how everyone looked for it, they didn't find Li Rusong's shadow, and it turned out that this Lord Li had already rushed over. They had to send a team of troops to meet them, in fact, it should be that the general of the Confederate Army sent a team of troops to fight for merit after hearing the news.
Li Rusong walked. Halfway out of nowhere, countless Japanese suddenly jumped out. He thought about it for a moment and immediately let the whole army attack. Because if he retreats, it will be a situation of no return, and if he advances, the Japanese army will think that this is just the vanguard of a large army. The Japanese army believed that since it was the vanguard of a large army, it must be quickly eliminated. Li Rusong's calculation was wrong. He gritted his teeth and had to let his troops attack more violently. Since there is no way to play tricks, then let's fight.
Under the conditions of the Backwater War, the Ming army was one by one, and soon the Japanese army fell behind. However, Li Rusong felt that these Japanese troops could not finish fighting. They held out like this for two hours, and Li Rusong's troops were beaten less and less by the Japanese army, but Li Rusong still did not ask to retreat, because once they retreated, I was afraid that the entire army would be destroyed. Li Rusong had to gamble that reinforcements would arrive before his troops were dead. He was right: a group of Ming troops came in from the encirclement of the Japanese army, and the banner read "Yang".
Seeing this unit, Li Rusong let out a long breath. This Yang refers to Yang Yuan, Li Rusong's trusted general. When they met together, Yang Yuan asked Li Rusong, "How should this battle be fought?" Do you want to retreat? Li Rusong slowly spat out two words: "Counterattack ~ strike ~" At that time, the sky was already a little dark, inexplicably broke into a unit, the Japanese army must have thought that this was a large force, and at that time, when Yang Yuan came in, they also fired several shots.
The Japanese army did not want to fight anymore, they had gone through many hours of fighting, they had already seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, coupled with those few cannons, the morale of the Japanese army had been wiped out.
So Li Rusong began to fight back. The Japanese fled in a hurry and many were killed. At this time, Li Rusong led the troops back to the camp.
This battle can be said to be a lack of victory on both sides, because in terms of picking casualties, many people died on both sides. The Japanese lost many powerful samurai, while the Ming army also had some elite generals killed.
Neither side's strategic intentions had been met at the Battle of Bi hoofed pavilion, and they were now deadlocked on the 38th parallel. So how to solve it? Listen to the next breakdown.
