After the sky cleared, he could not wait for the friendly signals sent by Seoul or the military sent by Hongyuan. Eunuch Wei could only regretfully tell his subordinates and the Korean civil and military officials in Jingcheng: He must prove to the Korean reactionaries who dared to despise the authority of the Celestial Empire with practical actions that the sacredness of the Ming Emperor and the Ming Dynasty's personal envoys cannot be questioned!

Considering that the war started this time, it was different from the last time that the river was crossing the river and entering the country, we must be benevolent and righteous, so Eunuch Wei personally wrote a letter of war and ordered people to send it to Hongyuan.

The book says:

"We came to Korea here to inspect the heavens. However, for more than a month, we have been despised by our vassals and have been facing each other with wars, which is really disappointing. In the former, the Protectorate of Jingcheng City sent Yuan to disturb our true intentions, and caused trouble to disturb the peace of the vassals. Finally, the imperial army was attacked and hung his head in the palace.

Now, I have the peace and rebels who rely on the protection of important cities and do things like brothers and Ni Co., Ltd., and encourage the ambitions of the vassals and the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. They completely ignore the grace of the Ming Dynasty and the sacrifice of our Ming soldiers. They have strengthened their military preparations and provoked disputes for our Ming Angels and the Imperial Army soldiers.

We have been tolerating the long-term plan for the relationship between the two countries again and again, but the peaceful rebels have no spirit of giving in, nor have they sincerely apologize for guilt, and they only delay the resolution of the time.

Recently, Hongyuan's military preparations have been strengthened, trying to make us surrender. In the long run, our Ming Empire's efforts to stabilize the vassals for more than two hundred years will inevitably become a bubble. The existence of the empire will also be on the verge of contempt.

Therefore, for the majesty of the Ming Empire, the livelihood of the Ming Emperor's soldiers, and the honor of the Ming Dynasty, we can only rise up resolutely and crush all obstacles!

Now I will tell you that you are safe and rebels. On the day the city is destroyed, you will be burned with jade and stone!"

The letter of declaration of war was signed by the seal of the imperial secretary, the admiral of the Ming Emperor's personal army.

On the day the war was released, my father-in-law personally led a large army out of Yaskawa, overcame many difficulties along the way, temporarily built four floating bridges, demolished several villages, and sent thousands of civilians to ensure that the official road soaked in the flood could barely pass through the vehicles and horses.

In this process, the efforts of the North Korean people are huge and sacrifices are also huge!

For this reason, Eunuch Wei specially received the representatives of the Korean people and said to them: "Today the people suffered some losses and suffered some hardships, but they will immediately get more benefits and greater happiness!"

Where do more benefits and greater happiness come from?

From Hong!

Eunuch Wei solemnly promised the Korean soldiers who followed the army and the Korean people who sacrificed their lives along the way that as long as the heavenly soldiers took Hongyuan and punished those Korean officials who were disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, they would definitely take out the assets of these corrupt officials to the people, and promised to open a warehouse and release grain in Hongyuan.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Angels are thousands of years old!"

The excited Park Jung-tae immediately led the people to cheer, and was scolded by Eunuch Wei again afterwards, and he could not surpass it. However, after this call, the name "Thousands of Life" quickly spread throughout North Korea, resulting in the "fake king" incident in the future.

The Imperial Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expeditions, and thousands of rivers and mountains are just waiting.

Inspired by Eunuch Wei, the soldiers of the Emperor Ming Dynasty and the officers and soldiers of the North Korean Brigade carried forward their fearless spirit and actively advanced at a speed of 16 miles a day. Finally, on the third day, after climbing over a not-high mountain, Langlin Mountain, a mountain, he saw a mountain.

From a distance, the mountain is probably more than a thousand meters above sea level, and the official road is built around this mountain and extends east-west direction halfway up the mountain.

"Angel, after crossing this Motian Ridge, it's Hongyuan!"

The former naval army commander Xuan Yu, dressed in a flying fish suit and served as the acting brigade commander, hurried from the front with his personal companion, reported the news that the horse was just coming from before, and found Hong Yuan army under the Motianling Mountains.

"Motianling?"

My father-in-law looked at Park Jung-tae beside him. The latter nodded with certainty. My father-in-law immediately raised his hand and waved his hand: "Take the Motianling!"

………….

The terrain of Motianling is extremely important and is a major transportation route from Hongyuan to Jingcheng. During the Japanese invasion in Ionchen, the Japanese Kato army captured Hongyuan from Hamhung, and then tried to cross the Motianling and penetrate into Jingcheng. However, it was stubbornly resisted by the North Korean army's northern army Han Kecheng. After more than 300 casualties, Kato Kiyomasa's second army successfully occupied Motianling and achieved a great victory to annihilate thousands of Korean troops. Then, the Korean prince Linhai Jun and Heshun Hojun were captured in Huining.

Although the Japanese army of Kato's army did not completely occupy the Protectorate of Jingcheng, he led 5,000 Japanese troops across the Tumen River, which was the river that Eunuch Wei entered Korea from Jianzhou. He became the only Japanese general who invaded the Ming Dynasty during this war and fought with the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhaci. More than 100 Japanese soldiers and their later Japanese deserters were compiled into two Niulu by Nurhaci and participated in the battle against the Ming Dynasty.

In view of the importance of Motianling, Hongyuan's chief general Liu Xifen ordered Deputy General Han Gui to take the troops and horses to join Li Rui, Hongyuan's military commander Yuhou Pu Zhengyong, Wu Zhongshuo, and Xianxing County's military commander Cui Rongshi led Hongyuan, Xianxing and other counties to seize Motianling. Later, using Motianling as a basis, he launched an attack on the enemy from a high point, delaying the enemy's troops and delaying the enemy.

Liu Xifen personally banned the remaining troops with 2,000 northern imperial guards as the main force, and chose suitable fighter jets to encircle and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, the Korean army carried a lot of firearms, including more than a dozen tiger squat cannons. After the military order was issued, Han Gui immediately urged the generals to act, but because the county soldiers were of uneven quality, it was difficult to assemble in a short time. Therefore, Han Gui and the generals led more than a hundred elite soldiers up the mountain with them to observe the enemy's movements.

As Hongyuan's military and horse control commander, Han Gui did not have the powerful weapon of Qianli Miles, which was a powerful weapon to look at the enemy. Therefore, he searched for a high place on the mountain with everyone and peeked at the enemy from afar.

I saw flags flying on the road in the distance, the team was very long, and there were infantrymen in front. Because they were far apart, it was impossible to tell whether the Ming army or the puppet army in Jingcheng was in front.

"No matter whether the Ming army or pseudo-soldiers are coming, General Cui, are you sure that your soldiers and horses in Hamxing County are guarding the front line?" Han Gui looked at Cui Zairong, the military commander of Hamxing County, beside him.

When Cui Rongshi, wearing armor, heard this, he hurriedly said with confidence: "General Han, don't worry, no matter how hard he is, my son-in-law of Ham-hung has fought with the Japanese, and he also climbed to Pyongyang!" This is true. Twenty years ago, Choi Rongshi led hundreds of Ham-hung troops to follow the Ming army and recovered Pyongyang.

Seeing that Cui Rongshi was confident, the more than 1,600 soldiers from Hamxing County he brought looked good, Han Gui couldn't help but be happy, but thinking that the reason why the Mirror City Protector fell so quickly was not only unclear about the Ming army's background and the dispersed forces in the early stage, but more importantly, the Ming people's combat power was indeed strong, so he reminded Cui Rongshi: "The general's courage is commendable, but be careful and do not underestimate the enemy."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed the whip at the enemy army that was coming towards Motianling in the distance. "After the war begins, the general's troops will try to attack the pseudo-arms in Jingcheng first."

Cui Rongshi nodded and agreed. He was not stupid either, so how could he really lead his troops to attack the Ming army?

After going up the mountain, the Hongyuan soldier, Yu Hou, Pu Zhengyong, suddenly said: "General Cui, this time, we will show the might of our Koreans no matter what, so that those Ming people can know that our North Korea also has brave generals to strengthen the army!"

Choi Rongshi frowned when he heard this because he had a quarrel with Park Jung-yong a few days ago because the other party detained the food sold to the soldiers of Ham Hung County, and even scolded them in front of General Liu for all the money in Ham Hung's soldiers. Choi Rongshi was so angry that he fought with him on the spot.

Now the other party said such words, Choi Yongshu sounded very awkward. He glanced at Park Jung-yong and wanted to observe his true intention from the other party's expression. However, Park Jung-yong's face was very sincere, and his words were moving, making it impossible to tell whether he was true or implicit sarcasm.

The soldiers and horses of Ping'an Road were together with the commander of the military commander Wu Zhongshuo, who saw Cui Rongshi, and hurriedly stepped forward and said that the enemy had appeared. He ordered the soldiers to go up the mountain quickly, so that the enemy soldiers could not rob Motianling.

Han Guishen agreed and ordered the generals to go down the mountain to urge their troops to go up the mountain. Then he led his personal guards to observe the terrain and deploy troops.

Before it was almost time, Park Jung-yong's troops were the first to go up the mountain, followed by Choi Yongshu's Ham-hung County soldiers and other county soldiers. On the other side of the mountain, the Ming army's horse exploration and the Korean army's horse exploration had already begun to fight fiercely, and the sound of guns could be heard from time to time.

Judging from the sound of the gun, it should be a three-eyed gun unique to the Ming army. This kind of gun can be equipped with cavalry. However, the terrain of Motianling is not suitable for cavalry combat at all, so Han Gui judged that this was a small group of Ming army's horse probes being used.

As time passed, the Ming army sent more horse exploration to suppress the Korean army's horse exploration, but because the Korean army had seized the Motianling, the Ming army's intelligence has become unimportant for the North Korean generals.

Han Gui deployed more than a dozen tiger squat cannons halfway up the mountain, which is a must-pass place for the official road. Speaking of which, these tiger squat cannons were left to the Korean army by the Ming army, and the two thousand northern imperial guards under the command of Liu Xifen were trained by Ming generals. North Korea calls them "Xiao Qi Family Army."

After the troops entered the predetermined locations one after another, Han Gui began to let go of his heart. He ordered people to inform the chief general Liu Xifen on the other side of the mountain. It was estimated that with the enemy's movement speed, it was very likely that he would not attack Motianling today because it was almost dark.

Liu Xifen also believed that the Ming army would not launch a night battle. The terrain of Motianling was very complex, and some places were extremely steep. The Ming army was not familiar with the terrain and it was difficult for the brigade to deploy. If the night battle was launched, the losses would be huge.

The Ming army could not start a night battle, but the Korean army could. Liu Xifen ordered Han Gui to send a small group of troops to disrupt the attack after the Ming army arrived at Motianling, so that the Ming army could not set up camp and exhaust them as much as possible.

Han Gui had this intention, but what he never expected was that after arriving at the foot of Motianling, the Ming army found that the mountain had been occupied by the Korean army. He immediately shrank three miles behind and then sent a large number of soldiers to dig deep ditches. The Korean soldiers tried to attack, but were all repelled by the Ming army who were prepared.
