Chapter 305: Into Seoul

This general had seen some of the market, and when he could clearly see the hundreds of soldiers rushing over, he couldn't laugh anymore, and these people were clearly wearing Ming standard armor. The leading figures of Goryeo are all proud to go to the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they also know something.

Is the army of the Ming Dynasty coming to fight North Korea, General Jin's mind was indeed a little cloudy at that moment, but then he denied this opinion, he heard a drunk Ming edict eunuch say:

"What is the use of the Ming Dynasty wanting North Korea, if you want this poor place, you have to allocate grain from the imperial court!"

Two hundred soldiers in light armor slowly approached in a neat formation with weapons, this kind of high-intensity training and the murderous aura of the soldiers who had been trained to kill, these North Korean soldiers already felt that something was wrong, and when Jiang Feng's guard captain rushed in with his men with red eyes, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The reason why the North Korean soldiers all use long-handled weapons is not so much a tactical application, but rather that this thing is much cheaper than a sword, after the Jiang Jiajun with a big sword and a short axe, rushed in.

The long-handled weapons immediately had no room to play, and they were left to the slaughter, and these North Korean Taiping soldiers saw such a scene, and they quickly began to disperse.

The rout spread like a plague, and the general shouted desperately on his horse, maintaining order, but the violent attack of the two hundred Jiang soldiers made the Korean soldiers dare not go up to block it, and they fled one after another, and in an instant, the formation of the Korean troops will be pushed back by more than a dozen steps.

Some of the soldiers on the edge ran to both sides, and the only troops in the hands of General Zhichong who could take out the battle were the personal soldiers with long knives, but these people were prepared to cover their escape, and they were willing to fight, not to mention the large army that had been in the rear, less than a thousand people, also moving forward.

This subordinate of General Zhichong reminded him very intimately:

"My lord, the situation is not right now, let's go quickly, and go back to Seoul to make plans!"

There are only 10,000 soldiers in the whole of Korea, and these 4,000 people are already nearly half, and they only escaped back to Seoul for a while, but this sentence reminded General Kim, who had no experience in war, that he was stunned at first, and then stopped shouting there to maintain order, and shouted very decisively:

"Withdraw!"

After speaking, dozens of pro-soldiers took long knives and pulled away the soldiers who were blocking the way behind them, and rushed away in the direction where they came.

As soon as the commander left, the battle that was originally not morale quickly ended, and the seven hundred people led by Jiang Feng had just launched a charge, only to find that the other party had completely turned into a rout running all over the ground. After spending a short time, Jiang Feng finally determined that these people's running around was not a ploy, but a real rout.

"Grab one for four taels of silver, and these soldiers can still sell for a high price!"

As soon as he said this, the soldiers of the Jiang family, who were too lazy to even pursue the attack, ran up with a hundred times more energy.

Except for the 4,000 Korean soldiers at the beginning, Jiang Feng's guard captain charged and slashed dozens of them, but nearly 3,000 people ran away, and the rest were captured and captured. Jiang Feng didn't even have a chance to do anything, but as a result, the handkerchief handed over by the people around him wiped his face.

His captain of the guard stood in front of Jiang Feng with a flushed face, and said embarrassedly:

"My lord, the villain really looks down on these Koreans, and this is not even as good as our Dengzhou group training......"

Jiang Feng naturally didn't say anything to blame, just smiled there and looked in the direction of Seoul.

When the general came, it took two days to travel, but the land back was a wild gallop, exerting a very high efficiency, Goryeo lacked horses, that is, he and the two lieutenants only had horses, and the dozens of personal soldiers who guarded their escape had long been unaware of being thrown there.

In a day and a night, he had already seen the walls of Seoul, and when General Kim was thinking about what reason to escape punishment, or to flee back to his manor and then go incognito, he saw that the iron-clad and thick wooden gates of Seoul were completely broken.

What kind of crash can have such an effect, General Kim and the two lieutenants quickly saw the clothes of the guards at the city gate, and they couldn't help but gasp, just like what they saw in Incheon City.

Seoul has fallen! But their families are still in the city, and there is still so much to think about, and General Kim rushed in the direction of Pyongyang without thinking about it.

When Yang Shishi's 1,000 men set off on the starry night, the 2,000 men guarding around Incheon and the port were also quickly mobilized, and under the leadership of Zhang Liang, they marched towards Seoul, and the captain of the Shunfeng, Ajaya, sent his first mate to lead the fleet from the waterway with soldiers and artillery.

The soldiers defending the city of Seoul only saw their 4,000 soldiers go out of the city to Inchon to suppress bandits a few days ago, and no one expected that a day later, troops with the banner of the Ming army would appear under the city of Seoul. In such a hurry, it was difficult to escape even if they wanted to, but they all saw each other's cavalry. When the city was in a panic, it was still the first-class civil servant Li Rengong who reacted.

The first is to send envoys outside the city to ask why the soldiers of the Celestial Empire are coming to attack, and the second is to desperately recruit all the people who can be used in the city.

The civil and military were crowding the palace waiting for news of the envoy, but the envoy was unlucky, and the city gate was obviously unable to be opened, so he had to be put down with baskets, but the artillery transported by ship was only now aimed at the gate of Seoul with the efforts of horses and soldiers.

This cannon is the largest caliber of land artillery made by the cannon casting workshop in Dengzhou, a sixteen-pounder field gun, but this cannon cannot follow the movement of the large army, and can only be used on some special occasions, such as siege cities, so Jiang Feng also brought this cannon to North Korea this time.

According to the white craftsmen, this cannon is about sixteen pounds, or the old craftsmen of the artisan battalion have more experience in casting cannons, and the specifications of this cannon are afraid that they exceed the so-called red-clothed general cannon, and this cannon will use nearly 100 people and six horses just for handling and operation.

However, the power is also extremely great, for a rudimentary city defense like North Korea, basically a single shot can cause fatal damage, not to mention the psychological shock brought by the roar of huge thunder.

The soldiers defending the city in Seoul didn't even know what the black pipe that so many people outside the city were operating, they looked at the Ming army outside the city being busy, and thought that this was the time for the other party to give them peace talks, so they hurriedly put down the envoys who were negotiating with hanging baskets.

Then, the first test firing of the cannons outside the city was carried out, and the gate of Atsugi was suddenly smashed, and the city wall on the side also collapsed a corner.

The Goryeo soldiers in the city have seen such a powerful weapon, and they scattered in the city, and Yang Shishi, who led the team, is not a person with brains and tactfulness, watching the city gate being blown open, he did not order an attack, but asked the artillery to fire two more shots, and after these two shots, the entire city tower has been blown down.

There were still some recruited people and soldiers behind the city wall, but after these two cannons, there were heavy casualties, and there was no one left who could run.

At this time, Yang Shicai ordered the army to enter the city, and the current Jiang Jiajun no longer had any expectations for the military strength and the spirit of daring to fight, and now they were full of confidence in their 4,000 men to sweep the whole of Korea.

After three vibrations that seemed to be thunder, chaos finally began in Seoul, and the officials and soldiers who were powerful and blessed in the city on weekdays could not maintain order, and lawless people began to go to the streets to smash and loot, and a large number of people crowded at the gates of several cities without Jiang's army, crying and preparing to leave the city.

However, the more crowded it was, the more it could not pass quickly, and there were countless dead in the stampede and clashes in the panic, but in the Korean royal palace, because the civil and military officials and the king were there waiting for news, and were not among the ranks of the fledgling.

Walking into Seoul through the ruins of the city gate, Seoul had a population of more than 100,000 at that time, and it was placed at the level of a medium or upper prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, and the streets were also extremely narrow, and the entry of 3,000 soldiers from a city gate was extremely crowded, and the streets were chaotic and abnormal, making it more and more difficult to advance.

Yang Shi looked at the chaotic scene on the street, and his heart became more and more impatient, there are more than 100,000 people in this city, and the more dead and wounded, the greater the loss, and he pulled over the guide who led the way, and shouted after him:

"You shout to me in Korean dialect now, if someone walks around on the street after a stick of incense, there will be no mercy!"

Then he turned his head and followed the orders of his soldiers, saying:

"Shout along!"

Korean is very difficult for Jiang Jiajun, but fortunately, it is a simple sentence, and soon the voices of thousands of people sounded, and the people in Seoul were stunned when they heard this, but many people were confused, how long is this stick of incense.

A personal guard beside Yang Shishi couldn't help but ask:

"My lord, how can this incense stick count time!"

Yang Shi was already extremely irritable there, ran a few steps forward, and took the big knife in his hand to cut down a rebel who was taking advantage of the fire to rob, and shouted viciously there:

"Now it's time for a stick of incense!"
