Chapter 588: The Great Defeat of Jiuyunling

Jiuyunling is not far from the north gate of Seoul, standing on the wall of the north gate of Seoul, you can see a part of Jiuyunling, and even a large number of Korean soldiers walking around.

"Seoul! Seoul is occupied by enemy troops! ”

Seeing that the head of Seoul was suddenly replaced with the bright yellow five-claw golden dragon flag of the Ming army, the Korean soldiers in the direction of Jiuyunling outside the city were frightened.

All 152 field artillery pieces of the Fourth Army were moved to the north gate.

"Fire!"

The artillery battalion of the 4th Army soon began shelling, realizing as far as the North Korean soldiers could see.

Huang Degong and the other Third Army and the Eighteenth Army fought in Jiuyunling, and the Fourth Army did not know their specific location, so they did not dare to bomb the depths of Jiuyunling indiscriminately, but the Korean soldiers on the periphery could still bombard.

The North Korean soldiers, who were bombarded by the shells from Seoul, who originally thought that they were wrong and couldn't believe that Seoul had been occupied, were completely desperate at this moment, and Seoul had really been occupied by the enemy.

The fall of Seoul broke the last will of the Korean army.

Fear spread like a plague to the depths of Jiuyun Ridge, and it also destroyed the last will of the Korean army in the depths of Jiuyun Ridge.

At the same time as the shelling, Yan Yingyuan also led 10,000 horses of the Fourth Army out of the city from the north gate to support the operation of Jiuyunling, and dealt the final fatal blow to the Korean and Japanese alliances

Seat of the King of Joseon.

"Did the sound of artillery just come from the direction of Seoul?" The king of Joseon asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.

The generals next to "this" sweated on their heads and could not answer, because they were equally incredulous.

A soldier suddenly rushed in, making the hearts of the king of Korea and the generals of the Korean army next to him tremble.

"Your Majesty, Seoul has been captured by a sudden Ming army!" The soldiers' reports, the conjectures of the Korean king and the Korean generals next to him, the gunfire coming from the direction of Seoul was really not due to their auditory hallucinations, and Seoul had already fallen!

Seoul has fallen! The king of Joseon, with a gray face, staggered back a few steps and slumped in his chair.

The heavy rain outside had been falling for more than an hour, and it had gradually begun to stop.

In Jiuyun Ridge, there was trampled mud everywhere, and the red stagnant water exuded a strong smell of blood because of the stirring of blood.

The "boom, boom, boom" shelling has never stopped, and up to now, the will of the North Korean army has been unable to hold on, especially those Zhuangding troops who have been forcibly conscripted to resist, they are already a rabble, and their will has long since collapsed, and they can only run around in fear under artillery fire, constantly dodging the attacking army formation composed of soldiers of the Third Army and the Eighteenth Army.

"Seoul has fallen!"

"Seoul has fallen"

The news of the fall of Seoul finally began to spread throughout Jiuyunling at this time.

This was a great fear, which really destroyed all the will to resist from top to bottom of the North Korean army, whether it was the elite North Korean army or the strong Korean army that was forcibly recruited before the war, they all collapsed and lost any will to continue to resist.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Kill"

At this moment, there were also dense gunshots and shouts of killing behind Jiuyunling, it was Yan Yingyuan who led the 10,000 people of the Fourth Army who attacked from the north gate of Hancheng to kill and attack Jiuyunling!

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the North Korean soldiers collapsed on all fronts, and everyone rushed to flee for their lives.

The location of the Tokugawa Ieoka, the commander of the Japanese army.

The news of the fall of Seoul also reached the ears of Tokugawa Jiagang, and he instantly concluded that it was not the 40,000 Ming army that attacked Jiuyunling at the beginning, but the Ming army that appeared separately, and it was the back hand of the Ming army!

"Yaga!" Tokugawa Iegao's face was iron-blue, and the katana smashed a desk.

Now, Tokugawa Iegang also had to regret it, he vaguely realized that they should not come to Japan to participate in this war, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was defeated at the hands of the Ming army, and before the Ming Dynasty has completely declined, they should no longer fight the idea of Korea.

"Newspaper"

"Major General, the Ming army is attacking from behind from the direction of Seoul, and the Korean army has been routed on all fronts!" A general of the Japanese army came to report.

"Yaga!" Tokugawa Ieoka roared again.

"Order, withdraw troops immediately!" Tokugawa Iegang no longer hesitated, and immediately gave the order to withdraw the troops.

said that the withdrawal of troops, but under the pursuit of the Ming army, it was no different from a rout.

The entire Jiuyunling Korean and Japanese coalition forces were fleeing, and hundreds of thousands of people were defeated, which was a major rout that had never been seen in the history of the peninsula.

Seoul had been lost, the back route was cut off, and the soldiers of the Korean army and the Japanese army had to flee from other places.

Although the enemy had been routed on all fronts, the Ming soldiers of the Third and Eighteenth Corps did not immediately pursue them, but ran back to the high slope where the artillery camp was located, where they carried their war horses.

The two legs can't outrun the four legs of the war horse in any case, and only by riding the war horse to pursue can the defeated Korean army and the Japanese army really have wings and cannot escape.

Seeing the defeat of the Korean army and the Japanese army, Yan Yingyuan did not hesitate to order the 10,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army around him to disperse and pursue the defeated Korean soldiers and Japanese soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the army is defeated, and the Ming army is about to be killed, so flee quickly!" Loyal Korean generals came to urge the Joseon king to flee for his life.

"Run? Seoul has fallen, where to flee? The King of Korea muttered in despair.

The fall of Seoul is equivalent to cutting off the back road, except for the east and west, there is no way to escape, and dozens of miles away to the west is the sea, if you want to escape, you can only flee to the east, but hundreds of thousands of troops have been defeated, the capital has also been lost, even if you escape from Jiuyunling, how can North Korea still be able to keep it.

The loyal Korean general of the "king" saw the appearance of the Korean kingdom, gritted his teeth, and didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, so he directly pulled the Korean king and began to flee for his life.

The thought of this loyal Korean general was simple, that is, Seoul could be lost, but the king must not be captured by the Ming army, otherwise the Korean state would really be finished.

The defeated Korean army and the Japanese army together numbered nearly 4560,000.

If anyone can look down on Jiuyun Ridge, they can see that the entire Jiuyun Ridge is densely packed with fleeing Korean soldiers and Japanese soldiers, like patches of ants.

"Boom" returned to the high slope, and the soldiers of the Third Army and the Eighteenth Army, mounted on their horses, also began to pursue the defeated Korean army and the Japanese army.

What followed was a great pursuit and capture unprecedented in the history of the peninsula.
