Li Dingguo was the vanguard of the Western Route Army, and Huang Degong was the central army of the Western Route Army.
Yizhou in North Korea is just across the Yalu River.
After crossing the river, Li Dingguo arrived at the city of Yizhou at the fastest speed.
The Korean soldiers on the city wall were almost pissed with fear and hid behind the battlements, not daring to show their heads.
Although it is called a city wall, its actual height is pitifully low.
According to historical records, the height of the city walls during the Joseon Dynasty was similar to the height of the dike walls in the Central Plains during the same period.

"If they resist stubbornly, we will massacre them immediately after we capture the city!"
"Huh!" General Li patted his chest and said slowly, "I was shocked. It turns out they are trying to persuade us to surrender! Come on, open the city gates, kneel outside the city and welcome the Imperial Army to come in and quell the rebellion!"
