Chapter 137: Ming Army Camp, Qi Family Army! (Second Update)
call--

The cold wind was howling, the snow was flying, the sky was cold and the ground was cracked, and the Ming army's flags were fluttering.

As white lights flashed, the Eastern Han players participating in the national war and their soldiers and horses descended on the Ming army camp!

"Ah!"

Many players, generals, and soldiers were attacked by the cold and sneezed.

You know, it was still September in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was a very hot time. Suddenly, they were teleported to the national war battlefield in the cold winter. The sudden drop in temperature made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

Fortunately, the players of the Eastern Han Dynasty were well prepared and had cotton-padded jackets.

Li Xiuning put on fox fur and a red cloak, the colors were bright, and her cheeks were flushed because of the cold, which was very beautiful.

The entire army changed into winter clothes and quickly adapted to the cold weather.

Li Qian was able to observe the Ming army camp.

The number of Ming troops increased a hundredfold, and the camp stretched for hundreds of miles, relying on the mountain terrain to set up camp. It was vast and boundless.

To the south of the Ming army camp was a towering city that looked like a giant beast.

In January of the 21st year of the Wanli reign, the Ming army arrived at Pyongyang and prepared to attack the city.

Before the arrival of the Ming army, the Japanese army was unstoppable and captured important cities such as Seoul, Kaesong and Pyongyang. Now the First Corps of Konishi Yukinaga is stationed in Pyongyang.

If Li Qian's guess was correct, Konishi Yukinaga's First Army had 180 million Japanese troops, and there were other Japanese troops stationed in some dangerous terrain outside Pyongyang.

This does not include the Japanese players who have descended on the national war battlefield.

"The national war begins with the Battle of Pyongyang, which is really exciting."

Li Qian exhaled a breath of white air, rubbed his hands, and looked at the heavily guarded city of Pyongyang.

This was the first large-scale battle between the Ming army and the Japanese army.

The Ming army dispatched a large number of elite troops, and at this time the Japanese army was in high spirits. Pyongyang City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

However, as far as Li Qian knew, most of the Japanese troops were still in Seoul and other places during the Battle of Pyongyang, so the Ming army would have the upper hand in numbers at this time. The Japanese army only had one corps and the Otomo Yoshitsugu unit stationed in Fengshan. The Japanese army had the advantage of having strong walls and fortifications to rely on, and they had also occupied the strategically located Moran Peak outside the city in advance.

There were about 200,000 Japanese troops on Mudan Peak, forming a stronghold with the Japanese troops outside the city.

The arrival of Japanese players on the battlefield has increased the uncertainty of the Battle of Pyongyang.

In addition, there are eight Japanese army corps in Kaesong, Seoul and other places in the south. If Pyongyang City cannot be captured in a short period of time, when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the consequences will be extremely bad with the joint efforts of the inside and outside.

"Set up camp."

Li Qian asked Wei Rui to be responsible for deploying the camp.

Wei Rui has the god-level trait "Military Affairs Standards", which increases the effects of barracks, buildings, and fortifications by 50%. With Wei Rui arranging the camp, Li Qian can rest assured.

"Our General Li invites you!"

When Li Qian was setting up camp, a Ming army servant broke into the camp and asked Li Qian to go to the main tent of the Ming army camp.

"it is good."

Li Qianzheng wanted to meet the famous general Li Rusong.

Li Rusong, the eldest son of Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, was the right deputy general of Shenjiying. He was promoted to the general of Shanxi at the age of 35. He commanded two battles of the three major expeditions of Wanli as the main general. In the 26th year of Wanli, Li Rusong led more than 3,000 cavalrymen and was besieged by tens of thousands of Tatar cavalrymen, and was eventually killed in the battle. Li Rusong had made great military achievements and was definitely a capable general in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Rusong had a fatal flaw - he liked to lead the cavalry personally on long marches.

This style is similar to that of Huo Qubing and Li Shimin. The advantage is that it can achieve a surprise victory and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible, but the disadvantage is that the commander may be surrounded. When Li Rusong was fighting against the Tatar tribe, he led the light cavalry to pursue and penetrate deep into the enemy territory. In the end, he was besieged by Tatar cavalry that was ten times his own, and was defeated and killed.

Li Qian followed the Ming army servant to the center of the Ming army camp. The elite troops of the Ming army were all out, including the Liaodong Iron Cavalry equipped with three-barreled muskets, and the Shenji Camp equipped with muskets and general cannons.

Li Qian was drooling over these firearms.

The Ming army’s combat effectiveness is quite good.

If the Ming army had full pay, it would be invincible!

Not only Li Qian, but also powerful lord players such as Emperor Yuan, Xuanyuan, the Greatest Emperor of All Time, Xiao Lingxue, and Qing Emperor were invited to the Ming army camp by the Ming army commander Li Rusong.

Obviously, Li Rusong also knew that this group of lord players had certain strength and could also play a role in organizing other lord players, so he summoned them to the Ming army camp to discuss matters.

These lord players met and nodded to each other.

In this national war, they have to cooperate with each other, but they are also potential competitors. After all, everyone wants to gain more military merits and suppress the other in the rankings.

"I hope you rebels will not let us down and bring shame to our Ming Dynasty."

A nine-foot-tall, strong and muscular general led a well-equipped and murderous army into the Ming army camp. It was obvious that he had received an order from the commander-in-chief Li Rusong to come to discuss matters.

The army behind this general brings a great sense of oppression to lord players such as Li Qian, Emperor Yuan, Xuanyuan, Emperor Qing, and Jiangzuo Meilang.

Many lord players are the best in the Eastern Han Dynasty and have seen many advanced troops, but the sense of oppression brought by this elite army is unique.

"May I ask the general's name?"

Li Qian was curious about the identity of this Ming army general, so he asked directly.

The Ming general first looked at Li Qian with a little surprise, and then said: "Wu Weizhong, courtesy name Rucheng, is from Yiwu!"

From Yiwu?
Some players who had some knowledge of Ming Dynasty history showed expressions of surprise and doubt.

During the Jiajing period, the Japanese invasion in the southeast was serious, and Qi Jiguang planned to train troops.

At that time, the people of Yiwu had a large-scale fight with the miners of Yongkang for the right to mine. Because the people were brave, both sides were very brave in the fight. So Qi Jiguang asked Yiwu to recruit soldiers. In September of the 38th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang went to Yiwu to recruit soldiers, and many people came to apply. These people were the future Qi Family Army!

At this time, Qi Jiguang had passed away for five years, but the Qi Family Army trained by Qi Jiguang was still there!

Could it be that this Ming army general was leading the Qi family army?

Li Qian asked, "Is General Wu an old subordinate of General Qi?"

When Wu Weizhong heard this name, his blood boiled, and his eyes were filled with infinite nostalgia: "That's right!"

If he had not followed Qi Jiguang, Wu Weizhong might not have had the opportunity to achieve great things!
It’s Qi’s army indeed!

Players including Li Qian, Xuanyuan, Yuandi, and Qingdi were all excited.

No wonder Wu Weizhong’s troops gave everyone an unprecedented sense of oppression. It turned out that they were a special type of army called “Qi’s Army”!
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the Shenji Camp, and the Qi Family Army constituted the main force of the Ming army!
Li Qian and others followed Wu Weizhong into the Ming army tent. The Ming army commander Li Rusong and other Ming army generals had been waiting for a long time.
