Zhu Yijun was stunned. Victory?
Although Zhu Yijun expected to win, Zhu Yijun did not expect it to be so easy.
Li Xun, who was next to Zhu Yijun, was in disbelief. Victory?
Looking at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun smiled and said to Li Xun, "There is news of victory. Both of us should listen to it!" Saying this, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Jing, "Let's hear it!"
Zhang Jing quickly replied, "Yes, Imperial Majesty!"
"This news came from General Zhang Weixian of the Southern Army. General Zhang arrived at Pyongyang at dusk yesterday, then surrounded the city. At dawn, he began to attack the city."
"They broke through Pyongyang in two hours. The army has entered Pyongyang."
"When the news came, the army had already entered Pyongyang and was clearing the Japanese pirates in the city."
As soon as Zhang Jing finished, before Zhu Yijun could say anything, another shout came from outside, "Victory! Victory in Xingqing!" Saying this, another eunuch ran in and respectfully handed a report to Zhang Jing.
After taking a look at the report, Zhang Jing quickly said, "Imperial Majesty, this is news from Admiral Li, Li Chengliang!"
"Read it!" Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, so he said with a smile.
"General Li Chengliang arrived outside Xingqing this morning. His army surrounded Xingqing, and at the same time, ambushed the eastern gate.
Bombarding Xingqing with cannons, the army attacked Xingqing, and wiped out the Japanese pirates in Xingqing. "
"In this battle, we beheaded more than 5,000 people, captured more than 2,000, and beheaded the leader of the Japanese pirates."
"When we learned that the commander of the second Japanese pirate corps, Kato Kiyomasa, had led 5,000 people north to the Tumen River, intending to invade Daming, General Li sent the Liaodong Deputy Chief of Army, Zu Dashou, to lead 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 Jurchen Yehe to chase after them."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "How were the casualties in the battle of Xingqing?"
"Imperial Majesty, 76 people died in the battle of Daming, 232 were injured, 72 were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured." Zhang Jing quickly said.
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded. It was not bad.
Li Gui, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded. How could the Wokou pirates, who had caused the entire North Korea to be in trouble for three days a month, be so cowardly in front of the Great Ming Empire?
More than 7,000 people were wiped out, and more than 70 Ming Army were killed?
Are you joking?
Or are you here to tease me?
The sound of footsteps came from outside again. This time, it was a detailed battle report of the great victory in Pyongyang. Zhang Jing told Zhu Yijun again, and then said, "Imperial Majesty, 562 people died in the battle of Pyongyang, and 1,366 people were injured."
"Among them, 326 were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun suddenly frowned. Zhang Weixian had fought well in this battle, but the battle loss ratio was a bit high.
However, Zhu Yijun could understand. Besieging the city and killing all the Japanese pirates, the battle loss was naturally higher.
Zhang Weixian obviously wanted to win the battle, so he did not adopt the same tactics as Li Chengliang.
Obviously, he had put too much pressure on Zhang Weixian, which made him very eager to win the battle. He did not want to let the Japanese pirates escape at all. However, after this battle, Zhang Weixian should be able to relax.
"Tell me about the results of the battle!" Zhu Yijun glanced at King Li Xun of North Korea and asked faintly.
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!"
Zhang Jing quickly said, "In the battle of Pyongyang, we wiped out the first and third Japanese pirates in Pyongyang, beheaded 14,300 people, and captured more than 7,200 people."
Zhang Weixian was so murderous!
"We captured the first Japanese pirates' first commander, President Konishi, and the third commander, Kuroda Nagamasa."
Li Xun listened with great pleasure. At this time, he had come back to his senses.
It must be known that Li Xun's first, second, and third Japanese pirates captured Seoul, Kaesong, and Pyongyang, and then they chased him all the way here.
Now, two of these three regiments were wiped out, and the commanders were directly wiped out. It was simply gratifying!
Kato Kiyomasa of the second legion was estimated to be left in a few days. How could Li Xun not relax?
Standing in front of Zhu Yijun with red eyes, he said loudly, "I Daming a strong army to shock the world, Your Majesty's literary and martial arts skills will last through the ages."
Zhu Yijun glanced at Li Xun. Why don't you say I unify the world?
With a cough, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Send a decree to Zhang Weixian. Tell him to be more careful. I can't accept such a high casualty ratio. Tell him that Pyongyang's contribution is enough, and he can focus on the war in the future."
Zhang Jing quickly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, Old Slave will send someone to deliver the decree!"
King Li Xun, who was standing on the side, was stunned when he heard this. How could the losses be so high?
The Wokou pirates were almost beaten to a pulp by this. Heads were rolling all over the place. The Great Ming Empire had only lost so few people, yet they still complained about their losses.
The King of North Korea, Ri Gai, felt extremely embarrassed, but at the same time, he was extremely shocked. The Great Ming Dynasty was truly frighteningly strong.
Originally, although he respected Daming, when Li Xun heard Zhu Yijun's words, he bowed even deeper.
This was not Zhu Yijun's intention to warn King Li Xun, but Zhu Yijun was really not satisfied with this casualty ratio.
In the history of North Korea, Li Chengliang led the main force of the Ming Army to attack the south, west, and north of Pyongyang, leaving a retreat route for the Japanese in the east.
The Ming Army led by Zu Chengxun was the first to break through the Lu Gate in the south of the city, and then Hantan Gate, Ordinary Gate, Seven Stars Gate, and Peony Peak were successively captured by the Ming Army.
In that battle, the Ming Army annihilated more than 10,000 people, and the Ming Army only lost more than 700 people. Although the Ming Army escaped with more than 6,000 people, and this time it was a total annihilation, the current Ming Army and the historical Ming Army could not be mentioned in the same breath!
However, thinking that it was the first time the East Camp went to the battlefield, it was understandable.
In history, although the Ming Army's losses gradually increased, it was not in the early stages of the war, but in the later stages. However, such a start was also good.
Zhu Yijun turned to look at King Li Xun and said with a smile, "You will soon be able to restore your country."
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, I am grateful!" Li Xun quickly kowtowed on the ground.
Zhu Yijun nodded and then said, "Get up, get up!"
Then he laughed and ordered Zhang Jing, "Have people prepare wine and dishes. I want to have a drink with you today."
While Zhu Yijun was drinking and celebrating, Zu Dashou and Bu Zhai led over ten thousand cavalrymen and chased after Kato Kiyomasa's army, advancing like a hurricane.
Because there was a guide arranged by Dongchang, their speed was very fast. Soon, they arrived at the bank of the Tumen River. Here, Zu Dashou and Bu Zhai blocked Kato Kiyomasa. At this time, Kato Kiyomasa was cutting wood and building a boat, preparing to cross the Tumen River.
More than 5,000 Japanese pirates did not expect that the Ming Army would appear here. Moreover, there were more than 10,000 cavalrymen.
