    Chapter 158 Busan, Busan!

    Busan Castle is Japan¡¯s stronghold in North Korea. After several years of expansion, it has become more easily defended and difficult to attack.

    Dong Yiyuan led 1,500 people to hide behind a hillside a few miles outside the north gate of Busan. He and his people arrived here at midnight last night and have been hiding until dawn.  Looking at the rather spectacular city not far away, he couldn't help but lick his lips, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.

    Until this moment, Dong Yiyuan still couldn¡¯t calm down the excitement and shock in his heart. Yes, it was a shock!  The eldest son's actions once again exceeded his expectations, but while he was shocked, he had to admire His Highness the eldest prince's adventurous spirit and such generosity.

    Since leaving Nanyuan City, Dong Yiyuan has been a little strange. The behavior of the eldest prince he is responsible for protecting is so weird. It seems that he is on his way back to Seoul. Why does he hide his whereabouts in secret?  He was thinking about this problem all the way, and was slowly losing his sense of direction due to the army's day and night presence. He could only keep his head on the road. As for where he ended up, he, who was not familiar with North Korea, really didn't know.

    Until he met Wu Weizhong, Dong Yiyuan suddenly felt enlightened. He knew this General Wu, and he also knew that this General Wu was the confidant of Commander Qi Jiguang. He was also once very popular, but he followed Zhang Juzheng  The death of Qi Jiguang and the dejection of Qi Jiguang made Wu Shenjiang have a hard time for more than ten years, and he has basically not been promoted in these years.  Now His Royal Highness the First Prince has secretly come to see this General Wu. It seems that he has the intention to conquer this General Wu. It is probably just because of the special status of this General Wu and the fact that the prince has expanded his own.  Of course, the power must be secretive, lest anyone find out that he copied it, or it may cause the emperor's displeasure, which would be more than worth the gain!

    His Highness the First Prince's subjugation of General Wu went very smoothly. Of course, General Wu did not have the capital to control it. Being able to gain the attention of the First Prince was definitely an unexpected surprise for General Wu who was always in trouble.  !  At least Dong Yiyuan was a little envious of this General Wu. Not only did things turn out well, but he also gained the attention of the eldest prince. Otherwise, why would the eldest prince have gone all the way from Nanyuan to Zhongzhou in secret?

    Dong Yiyuan thought that the eldest prince would secretly return to Nanyuan with Wu Weizhong and his three thousand vine armor soldiers. At least a few days ago, he thought that was the case.  Although Dong Yiyuan was not familiar with North Korea, he still remembered the time when he sneaked all the way from Namwon to Chungju. However, after a few days of journey, he gradually discovered and was sure that the road "returning" to Namwon was definitely not the original one.  That one, he was not dim-sighted, he clearly took the dry road when he came here.  When have you ever seen the sea?  When I "returned", I often saw the sea and met almost no people.

    Dong Yiyuan remembers clearly that he walked from Namwon to Chungju for four days, but on the fifth day from Chungju, why did he still not return to Namwon?  Even if the return journey is different, if you know that your estimate is good, Nanyuan is now being besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops. Isn't His Highness the First Prince worried about Nanyuan's safety?  After going back and forth for a long time, he suddenly felt something in his mind. Could it be that the purpose of His Highness the Prince was still the same as last time, to wait until the Japanese army besieging the city was unprepared to rush out and defeat the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops in one fell swoop?  It seemed like this was a good idea, and it had a high chance of succeeding again. After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Wu Weizhong's three thousand rattan armored soldiers were no weaker than the five thousand Liaodong cavalry he brought.

    You must know that His Highness the First Prince currently has 6,000 elite cavalry and nearly 1,000 Jin Yiwei who have gone through several battles, plus 3,000 vine armor soldiers. This combat power is definitely more than the 50,000 who defeated the siege of Nanyuan last time.  The more than 10,000 cavalry of the Japanese Left Army are powerful!  Compared with the 6,000 Korean cavalry at that time and the 3,000 vine armor soldiers at this time, these 3,000 vine armor soldiers would definitely defeat them without any suspense!  As a result, Dong Yiyuan was full of expectations for this "raid" on the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. It was really easy to get credit by following the eldest prince!  Perhaps, he should have put down his airs a long time ago, stopped looking around, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the eldest son of the emperor!

    Obviously, this series of plans that Dong Yiyuan came up with on his own were destined to end in failure. As a steady general, he obviously couldn't keep up with Zhu Changluo's unfettered thinking. He also didn't expect that as the eldest son of the emperor, he would actually  And there¡¯s this thrilling spirit of adventure.

    It was not until the sixth day after setting off from Chungju that Zhu Changluo summoned Wu Weizhong, Dong Yiyuan, Yi Sunchen and Leng Mo to discuss matters and told them that they had arrived in Ulsan!  Dong Yiyuan thought for a moment, and his face was full of horror. The purpose of this action was almost obvious. He realized how poor his imagination was, and realized that from beginning to end, he still failed to understand this fifteen-year-old man.  The eldest princeYour Majesty, I admire the adventurous spirit and heroic strategy of His Highness the Great Prince - perhaps it should be called heroic strategy, at least Dong Yiyuan thinks so. Even if he wanted to break his head, he would not come up with such a way to bypass the opponent's army.  , go deep into the opponent's sphere of influence, enter the opponent's lair, and try to seize the opponent's boss alive!

    Not only Dong Yiyuan, even Wu Weizhong and Li Sunchen, who had already discovered something fishy, ??were both surprised and admired by this move of going deep into the opponent's territory to catch a turtle in the jar, and the other thing was awe!  They all knew that Zhu Changluo had definitely come up with this trick himself, and as a prince who was only fifteen years old, he was able to risk his own life and go deep into the tiger's den, and was almost successful They really couldn't figure it out, so they couldn't figure it out.  Who can stop a prince with such means and adventurous spirit from becoming the future emperor!

    Dong Yiyuan has begun to regret, extremely regretful. He knows that he should have taken refuge with the eldest prince earlier. If there is regret medicine, he will not hesitate to meet the eldest prince in Liaodong from the moment he meets him.  , take refuge!  At this time, he realized that he had underestimated the seemingly loyal and honest old subordinate Liao Zhongai. He had the foresight to take action early in the morning and protected the eldest prince from beginning to end.  , this alone can guarantee that guy a prosperous life!

    As a general who has led the army for many years, Dong Yiyuan is undoubtedly a decisive person. Once he has made a decision, he must implement it thoroughly. Even if he heard the somewhat ridiculous plan of His Highness the First Prince, he would support it without hesitation.  And volunteered to carry out this slightly absurd, risky and dangerous plan.

    This is why Dong Yiyuan has been hiding on a hillside not far from Busan City since midnight last night. The goal of his trip is the North Gate of Busan.  To be more specific, that is what His Royal Highness the Grand Prince said. In cooperation with the internal response in the city, once the gate of the North Gate of Busan is opened, they need some people to risk rushing into the city gate to prevent the Japanese from closing the city when they realize that something is wrong.  The remaining people hiding behind the hillside carried out the so-called "gate seizing" plan when those people risked their lives to prevent the city gate from closing. They rushed into the north gate and held it in one fell swoop without attacking the inside of the city.  , you just need to successfully seize the goal and then hold on!  Of course, the most important thing is to withstand the enemy's counterattack and prevent someone from escaping through the north gate.

    Of course, this is not only true for the North Gate, but also for the other three city gates!  In Zhu Changluo's words, as long as we can successfully capture a door, it is a success!  If you fail to seize the city gate, you don't need to take any other action. You just need to hold the gate outside the city gate as if you have succeeded. There is only one purpose: to prevent anyone inside from escaping and anyone leaving the city.  , shoot to death without mercy!

    Like this, all four gates have 1,500 men responsible for seizing them, which just uses up the 6,000 Liaodong cavalry. Regardless of success or failure, they have to defend in place. Zhu Changluo himself, with 3,000 vine armor soldiers and 800  The many gilded guards rushed into the city from any possible gate to capture Toyotomi Hideyoshi!

    It¡¯s a very simple plan, so simple that it¡¯s unbelievable!  Although Dong Yiyuan was suspicious of the feasibility of this seemingly absurd plan, he himself had no good way to invade the city in a short time. Moreover, this plan seemed simple, but it was also thorough.  At that time, we already knew that there were 5,000 Japanese garrison in the city. If we succeeded, facing the defense of 1,500 cavalry, even if 5,000 people escaped from one place at the same time, it would not be possible in a short time or at all.  Escaped from the hands of fifteen hundred cavalry!  What's more, there are three thousand vine armor cavalry with astonishing combat power chasing behind them.

    Of course, the reason why Dong Yiyuan thinks this plan is simple and somewhat ridiculous is that there is another situation. If all four gates cannot be captured over there, the success will undoubtedly fail!  It is almost impossible for nearly ten thousand cavalry to break through a tall city garrisoned by five thousand people that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in a short time.

    In fact, Zhu Changluo had no choice. Time no longer allowed him to think too much, lest things change later.  This method is not without possibility of success. Since coming up with this plan, Zhu Changluo has secretly sent as many secret guards and Jin Yiwei to Busan City as possible, lurking in the city for this day, just so as not to  To attract others' attention and identity, about forty people have been sent to Busan City these days.  He couldn't put all his hopes on Kobayakawa Takakage, who was not very trustworthy. The reason why the four doors were moved together was just in case, to give him more hope.

    When the appointed time came, Dong Yiyuan waved his hand heavily. Immediately, a dozen cavalrymen wearing Japanese military uniforms and riding horses severely whipped their horses. The leader shouted in Japanese at the top of his lungs.  : "Good news! Good news! Good news from the front line, Nanyuan City is broken! Good news"

    A dozen war horses, like bows and arrows, rushed straight towards the north gate of Busan.?, carrying cavalrymen shouting at the top of their lungs.

    A dramatic scene occurred at the North Gate of Busan, because almost everyone knew that the army was currently besieging Nanyuan from the front, and with the base camp at the rear, the Japanese guarding the city gate had already dropped to the freezing point. They were absolutely  I never thought that someone would come to Busan to cause trouble. Where is this place?  This is the base camp of Japan in North Korea-Busan!  Therefore, although the Japanese defending the city were a little confused about so many people coming to report the victory, it only happened for a moment, because the internal agents in the city had already reached the city gate at this time, and they heard the "victory report".  Groups of three and five cheered and hugged each other, and this trend obviously affected the behavior of the city defenders. The soldiers guarding the city also cheered and hugged each other.  And those internal agents who had been hugging each other for a long time quickly integrated into the soldiers defending the city.

    Just when the soldiers who "reported victory" arrived at the city gate, the internal soldiers who had successfully hugged the soldiers guarding the gate pulled out a short sword from their bodies almost at the same time. Before the soldiers hugging themselves had not yet  When they reacted, the dagger had already been inserted into their bodies.  At the same time, seeing the soldiers "reporting victory" entering the city, Dong Yiyuan roared, mounted his horse, and rushed towards the city gate with more than a thousand cavalry behind him who mounted the horse.

    It wasn¡¯t until they heard the rumbling sound that the soldiers cheering elsewhere stopped cheering and stared blankly at the black cavalry in the distance outside the city, not yet understanding the situation.  Zou Ran heard a loud roar and the spies began to kill nearby people, and when the cavalry who "reported victory" suddenly turned their guns and cooperated with the spies to start killing the gatekeepers, the Japanese defenders suddenly encountered an unexpected change.  After reacting, they sounded the alarm, which was almost never used, and began to besiege the cavalry and internal agents, preparing to regain control of the city gate and close the city gate. No matter how slow they were, they knew what was happening at this time.  .

    However, with dozens of internal troops plus a dozen cavalry, at the not-so-wide city gate, it was obviously not something that the Japanese defending the city could capture in a short time.

    It¡¯s too late, everything is over. Just when the Japanese are stepping up their offensive desperately, Dong Yiyuan, who is not far from the city gate, has already arrived with his troops!  More than a thousand cavalry were absolutely overwhelming against the hundreds of Japanese troops defending the city. With almost no effort, Dong Yiyuan cleared away the remaining resistance forces at the city gate and completely occupied the north gate!

    With a sigh of relief, Dong Yiyuan worked hard to straighten his back. He knew that this battle was won!  The Japanese were defeated!  Not only the war at this city gate, but also the battle for this city gate has been related to the overall situation in Korea and the future direction of the Korean War. Now, the Japanese have lost!  He believed that with such a simple and practical tactic, the Japanese had no way to escape!  Facing the defense of 1,500 cavalry outside the four gates and the pursuit of 3,000 vine armor soldiers, it would be difficult for the Japanese to escape even if they were not completely wiped out.  In this battle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was at the end of his rope. He could either commit suicide or be captured!  This battle will completely establish the reputation of His Royal Highness, and his rise is unstoppable!

    Dong Yiyuan looked at Zhu Changluo who was riding towards the north gate surrounded by 3,000 vine-armored cavalry and more than 800 royal guards. His heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle. He regretted and felt lucky at the same time. He regretted that he had ever done so.  There was such a good time and opportunity to join the unstoppable eldest prince early, but he failed to grasp it because of worries!  But I am very lucky that God once again gave me the opportunity to lead five thousand cavalry to protect the eldest prince, thus witnessing the rise of the eldest prince, and I did not waste the opportunity that God gave me. Although it was a little late, I  After deciding to join the eldest prince, he made great achievements and captured the North Gate of Busan, which changed the war and the situation!

    Of course, Dong Yiyuan also knew that the reason why the North Gate was captured so smoothly was inseparable from the foresight of His Highness the First Prince - he had already started planning this matter, otherwise where would there be so many insiders?  Now Dong Yiyuan understands that some people cannot just look at their age and temporary situation. For example, the eldest prince is only fifteen years old, but he single-handedly planned a battle that could end the war and change the situation!  Looking at the situation, everyone knows that the eldest prince is extremely unfavored by the emperor. Until now, he has not been crowned when it is time to be crowned. He has not been married when it is time to be married. He should have been established as a prince long ago but was shelved But this is how he is in a difficult situation.  People, if they don¡¯t make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!  From today on, even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to suppress the already established eldest prince, it will be very difficult and he will not do it easily!

    Dong Yiyuan believed that this battle not only established the situation in North Korea, but also established the status of the eldest prince. Moreover, when he returns to the Ming Dynasty, he should change his mind about the eldest prince - His Royal Highness, Young Master  , East Palace, etc. are the new names of the eldest prince!

    "See the Great Emperor"?Your Highness!  "When Zhu Changluo entered the north gate, no matter the cavalry who had controlled the north gate and its vicinity, or the three thousand vine armored soldiers and more than 800 royal guards around Zhu Changluo, they all knelt on the ground. At this moment, no one did not admire and fear him.  Everyone present was dissatisfied with this astonishingly genius plan and layout of the eldest prince who looked gentle and elegant from beginning to end!

    "Come on, all soldiers. In this battle, you will be remembered in history! In this battle, you will get double rewards! In this battle, you will be the heroes of Korea and the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Changluo was high-spirited, but still a little immature.  His face was full of majesty.

    "Thank you, Your Highness!"

    "Very good! General Dong, you have contributed greatly to this battle, and I will truthfully ask for your credit!" Zhu Changluo said to Dong Yiyuan with a smile.

    "The general doesn't dare to take the credit. It all depends on His Highness' arrangements. All the general needs to do is to lead his troops and horses and run towards the city gate." Dong Yiyuan was also very excited and excited, but he didn't  Forget how this all came about.
