In the age of cold weapons, a superior front-line commander can often turn the tide of battle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 InfoCompared with the uninformed soldiers, excellent generals are more observant and more insightful, and can quickly detect opportunities on the battlefield and enemy vulnerabilities, and command the troops to make the most reasonable response.

For example, this general at the head of Seoul, who is the "great protector" of the "Five Guards of the Imperial Palace" in North Korea, is keenly aware that the flowering bombs on the hot air balloon have been thrown. If he was given ten minutes, he might be able to stabilize the chaotic defenders of the wall.

However, giving him ten minutes is an impossible assumption.

Because of Li Zhi's crossing, Northeast Asia in the seventeenth century had entered the era of hot weapons in advance. In this era of hot weapons ruled by the Tiger Army, the only fate for a superior enemy frontline commander is death.

It is true that the flowering shells on the hot air balloon are almost thrown out, there are not a few left, but there are still rifles with scopes on the hot air balloon.

Each balloon has four people on board, all armed with rifles with scopes. This morale-boosting North Korean general is undoubtedly the best target for rifles. The hot air balloon flew directly above the city walls, bypassing the battlement walls. For the soldiers on the hot air balloon, there is no dead end in shooting this general.

A crisp "pop" sounded from the hot air balloon, and the North Korean general, who was calling for the command of the soldiers, was shouting, but was suddenly shot through the head by a conical bullet fired from the hot air balloon. Red and white liquid burst out of the bullet muzzle, and he collapsed on the wall before he could scream.

More than just one gunshot, several gunshots crackled from several nearby hot air balloons. Before the officers around the big protector could react to what was going on, they all spurted blood and fell in a pool of blood.

Over the next few minutes, the riflemen on the hot air balloon shot at all the officers who tried to organize the soldiers to hold out.

It was a completely one-sided war - the North Koreans' three-strand forks could not poke hot air balloons, their bows and arrows could not shoot so high, and their artillery trucks could not stand upright on the ground and shoot into the sky. Amid gunfire after gunfire, officer after officer fell, and the North Korean soldiers gradually lost the courage to continue fighting.

Although there were only 40 riflemen on board the hot air balloon, these 40 men could kill thousands of North Korean soldiers if they fought for half an hour.

This is an asymmetrical massacre.

The North Korean defenders finally collapsed completely. First the soldiers on the western wall were scattered, and then their rout led to the soldiers on the other walls. Eventually, the soldiers on all four walls lost their fighting spirit, jumped off the walls with great brazenness, and rushed into the houses of the city in a panic, trying to escape with their lives.

Apart from the hundreds of corpses and wounded of the majestic walls of Seoul, not a single soldier standing could be found. Seoul was no longer defenseless, and it was naked in front of the Tiger Army.

Four hot air balloons stopped on the city walls, and sixteen soldiers jumped down and opened the empty western gate of Seoul.

Zhong Feng waved his hand, and the tiger army outside the city strode into Seoul.

In Changdeok Palace in Seoul, Zhong Feng and dozens of generals under his command rode war horses and swaggered on the central axis of this Joseon royal city.

Zhong Feng pointed at the Korean palace with a horsewhip, and said to Jiang Chong: "I think the palace of North Korea is well repaired, but it is more magnificent than the Shenyang palace of Tartar." ”

Jiang Chong said: "It is more magnificent than the palace in Shenyang, but it is full of pedantic temperament. This Li family takes Confucianism as the state religion, and the whole country takes 'benevolence' and 'filial piety' as the national program, which is immortal. ”

Zhong Feng trusted Jiang Chong very much, he glanced at the palace again, nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

The lintel of Changdeokgung Palace is very low, and it is estimated that it was never considered that someone would enter on horseback so arrogantly. Zhong Feng couldn't pass in front of the second palace gate, and if he insisted on riding a horse in, he would probably have to bend down.

Zhong Feng frowned, and shouted, "Come on, blow up this broken door." ”

Several soldiers shouted their orders and raised grenades to blow up the door.

When several Korean eunuchs next to the palace gate saw this posture, their faces were frightened. They shouted in Korean and rushed up in a panic to stop the soldiers of the Tiger Army, wanting to protect the building of the Joseon Palace.

Seeing that these eunuchs couldn't figure out the situation, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army next to him raised their rifles and fired. Only two crisp sounds of "pop" and "snap" were heard, and one of the eunuchs who took the lead was shot in the chest, and blood was splashed.

The eunuch opened his mouth wide and pressed the bullet holes in his chest with both hands, but he couldn't hold back the blood that burst out. He fell to his knees weakly, and then fell forward and died.

Several Tiger Army soldiers thought that the eunuch's corpse was in the way, and walked up and dragged his corpse aside.

When the other eunuchs saw this scene, they realized that the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who entered the palace were loaded with guns. The bullets were well packed in the chamber of the gun, ready to kill. Where do they dare to resist? One by one, they trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the ground.

Only then did a few soldiers put a grenade on the palace gate, and with a bang, the palace gate that looked quite delicate was blown away.

Zhong Feng laughed and waited in front of the collapsed palace gate for a while, waiting for all the dust formed by the explosion to dissipate before he walked in with a horse's belly.

This time, Zhong Feng didn't have to bow his head.

Walking all the way forward, Zhong Feng walked to the front of the Xuanzheng Hall of Changdeok Palace. In front of the main hall, the king of Joseon was dressed in sackcloth and tied his hands behind his back, leading the civil and military officials of North Korea to kneel on the square in front of the hall, bowing his head and standing on the ground.

Zhong Feng didn't pay attention to the Korean king on the ground, but just jumped off the horse with the generals and walked into the Xuanzheng Palace. After entering the main hall, Zhong Feng looked left and right, flicked his front placket and sat on the throne of the king of Joseon.

"Bring the king of Joseon, Yi Liang, up to me!"

The soldiers of the Tiger Army outside the hall lifted Li Liang, who was kneeling at the door, and dragged him all the way to the blue brick floor in the hall, and pressed him to the ground with a pop, making him kneel down again.

That Li Liang was already in his fifties, full of white hair, but he was mentioned by these soldiers. However, he didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, kowtowed to the ground and said: "The sinner Li Liang has seen the Great Ming General!" ”

Zhong Feng looked at Li Qi and smiled.

He touched it from his arms and took out a letter from Li Zhi.

Tianjin was only a two-day journey from Tianjin to Seoul by sea, and although Li Zhi did not personally conquer this time, he had been directing the war on the front line by letter.

Zhong Feng took out Li Zhi's letter at this time, and naturally announced Li Zhi's decision to deal with Li Liang.

"Li Liang, Grandpa Guo's letter made it clear that you have two paths to go!"

Li Qi shouted loudly without waiting for Zhong Feng to read the letter: "General, I am willing to pay a fine of fifteen million taels, even if I scrape the ground three feet, even if I use robbery, I will also collect fifteen million taels." ”

Zhong Feng frowned and said, "It's too late! ”

Coughing, Zhong Feng shook the letter paper and read aloud:

"The first way is to turn Korea into a provincial-level administrative unit of the Ming Dynasty, and you Li Liang will be the leader, but you will not be called the king in the future, you will be called the Ming Dynasty Festival Envoy, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Jin. In the future, this North Korea will be the North Korea of Jin Guogong and the North Korea of the Ming Dynasty. Jin Guogong decided to abolish the two classes of aristocracy in North Korea, build a Gongde school, run the Chosun Ilbo, verify the tax of Haoqiang's acres of land, and set up a fair court court! ”

When Li Qi heard this, his face became snow-white, and he couldn't get up from the ground all of a sudden.
