Chapter 149: It's all an old coward

Seoul, which is just shining in color and shrouded in morning mist, has a hazy beauty that makes people feel intoxicated.

If there was no camp of the Ming Empire army stationed outside the city, this would be another warm and drunk day.

However, the officers and soldiers defending the city suddenly found that at this time, there seemed to be another change in the northwest outside the city:

A group of soldiers dressed in black clothes and black armor, led by a team of cavalry wearing the Ming Royal Golden Dragon Banner, appeared in the northwest outside the city one after another.

Time passed slowly, and more and more soldiers appeared five miles in the direction of the west gate of Seoul!

A variety of battle flags were held by various cavalry teams, and with the running of the war horses under them, they waved in the wind.

Among them, the White Tiger Battle Flag has the most!

"Hahaha! Brother Zhang, Lao Liu is not late this time, right? ”

The black-faced man who rushed to the front was not Liu Zongmin, the commander of the White Tiger Legion?

He laughed at Zhang Guangzhe, the commander of the Royal Navy's North Sea Fleet, who had just come out of the gate.

It's just that he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu ordered to hurry all the way, and finally caught up with the battle of attacking the enemy's royal city this time, and did not run in vain." ”

From the official invasion of Goguryeo, three or three nights have just passed, and the three divisions of the White Tiger Legion have been pushing the sweep all the way, as if their buttocks are on fire, without any delay.

Although more than half of the Goguryeo towns along the way surrendered directly, there were also many fortified cities that resisted to the end.

Fortunately, each division has 30 new Furlong cannons and enough shells, as well as a new explosive bag with great power.

As a result, the army easily broke through the city, and it didn't take much effort to capture the towns that would not surrender in one fell swoop.

It's just that the more towns you occupy, the more places you need to defend and clean up the aftermath.

Fortunately, there was also a garrison corps and 30,000 logistics troops to cooperate, and in each town, one or several thousand-strong soldiers were left to guard and deal with the aftermath, so that the pace of the White Tiger Legion's advance was not delayed.

Sweeping all the way, there were fewer and fewer soldiers of the garrison corps who stayed on the front line, and they were all distributed to various Goguryeo towns that had been captured, responsible for guarding the aftermath.

Until the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion, who hurried overnight last night, arrived outside Seoul, and the soldiers of those garrison legions were less than half.

However, now that it occupies half of Goguryeo's territory, there is no need to worry about the number of troops not being enough.

"Uh......"

At this time, Zhang Guangzhe looked at the hundreds of thousands of army soldiers, and his heart was already very depressed, and when he heard Liu Zongmin like this, he almost vomited three liters of blood!

Nima's! I knew that this would be the case, even if Lao Tzu spent some price, he knocked down the royal capital of Seoul overnight last night!

What does it mean to regret it?

Here it is.

I haven't regretted taking the medicine yet.

However, no matter how much regret is in my heart, for the brother troops, the courtesy that should be there must be Sakura

Everyone grabbed the credit, but they could not affect the overall situation and the harmony between the fraternal units.

Otherwise, if you are noted by the staff secretary who is with the army, you will not want to climb up in the future, and you will be isolated by everyone.

Then, if there is no then, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely take you down at least three levels.

"Welcome, welcome!"

Zhang Guangzhe said with a smile on his face, "Welcome to Captain Liu and the brothers of the White Tiger Legion." ”

But no matter how you look at it, I also feel that his smile is a little fake.

"Commander Liu, do you want to let the army camp first? Wait for Sun Dashuai to arrive? ”

Zhang Guangzhe asked tentatively.

At this time, he was still calculating, first stabilized Liu Zongmin, and when he returned to the camp, he immediately ordered the royal navy officers and men who had been prepared to launch an attack on the royal capital of Goguryeo!

At that time, the wood has been completed, and presumably no matter what, it will be able to grab the first place this time.

"Rest a fart! Set up camp! ”

Liu Zongmin is not a fool, he has already planned, "Brother, no need, no need to wait, you and me, immediately organize the siege of the city, and eat lunch in this Seoul today!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he happily decided.

Hum! This naval commander of the North Sea Fleet, who loves to brag the most, thinks that Lao Tzu doesn't know your calculations?

Now in Lao Tzu's hands, there are more than 100,000 troops, and your 25,000 Rao naval officers and soldiers, what can you use to compete with Lao Tzu?

Now it is up to our army officers to fight on land.

"Hey! Will the big guys be good friends in the future? ”

"You're so anxious?"

Zhang Guangzhe sighed secretly, but his face was silent, and then he was also kind and flowing, and after discussing intensively with Liu Zongmin for a while, he made a division of labor and cooperation.

The White Tiger Legion was naturally responsible for attacking from the direction of the West City Gate, and Zhang Guangzhe's current camp was stationed in the direction of the South Gate.

The logistician soldiers of the two armies immediately began to bury the pot and make rice, first having breakfast.

Of course, sending a team of sharpshooters to shoot the letter of surrender into Seoul must also be done first.

His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the main buildings of Seoul should not be damaged as much as possible, so that the enemy could surrender unconditionally, which was the best plan.

For a while, the soldiers of the two armies were busy working together: cleaning up personal hygiene and eating breakfast......

Among them, the most anxious ones are undoubtedly Liu Zongmin and Zhang Guangzhe.

Although everyone agreed to divide the siege into two routes, but they belonged to different legions, or the difference between the army and navy, who would not want to get the first credit?

Since the formation of the navy, the military expenditure of the Ming Empire has not only increased significantly, but also has become more and more inclined to the Royal Navy.

Therefore, the dispute between the army and the navy is a major issue that is basically irreconcilable in any era.

Even if everyone is in healthy competition, then we have to fight!

……

"Your Majesty, the Ming Empire has countless massive armies appearing outside the West Gate!"

An officer defending the city, running in a hurry, rushed into the main hall of the council, and reported with some panic, "They have given us an ultimatum!" ”

"We must surrender unconditionally to them within an hour, or they will attack Seoul!"

He was General Kim Wuwang, who was in charge of defending Seoul, and he hurried to report with a dejected face.

"What? Is the Ming Empire really going to do something to us? What if we want to surrender unconditionally? ”

"Damn it! How could so many troops come? ”

"What the hell is going on? What happened to the Ming Empire today? ”

"It's over! We're done! ”……

The vast majority of Goguryeo ministers panicked, including those who supported the two feudal officials, Choi Myeong-gil and Shen Ji-won.

Now all the civil and military officials present are as if they are dead, and their hearts are panicked.
