In this era, North Korea did not have a standing army, and the guard system that followed the Ming Dynasty was also a half-learned, and it was rarely trained in peacetime, and was only recruited in wartime, so whether it was in the face of the looting of the Ming army of the Japanese Kou, Jianyu and Dongjiang Town, there was no resistance.

The situation on Jeju Island is naturally no better than that of the mainland. But now that it has been discovered, there is no possibility of a sneak attack, it can only be a hard attack.

Looking at the panicked North Korean defenders at the head of the city, Bi Denghan suddenly said: "Mao's guerrilla, you can't hesitate any longer." Since the camp has brought a Franc machine to come, why not just blast open the city gate and rush in! Go straight to the county guard's house, as long as we take the county guard's house, this Jeju city will be ours sooner or later! ”

After saying this, Bi Denghan immediately shouted: "Lin Chuanbao, you have entered this Jeju City, do you know where the county guard is?" ”

Lin Chuanbao said at the moment: "Little nature knows! ”

After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Mao Youde.

Because he was worried about alarming Mao Weizhang prematurely, Mao Youde, who originally thought that he could not use artillery without artillery, had no choice but to pat his thigh and said, "Fuck it!" ”

Then he immediately gave the order, commanded the soldiers to install the gun mounts, and put the twelve Franc cannons that his soldiers had worked hard to bring one by one.

Because the Franc cannons are all sub-cannons, each mother cannon is equipped with four sub-cannons, and they are all rear-loading smoothbore guns, and the sub-cannons are loaded in advance, so the loading and firing are very fast, plus the Franco cannons have a light door and a crosshair, the caliber is small, the body tube is long, and the accuracy of shooting is more accurate than that of the Hongyi cannon.

Because Bi Denghan was quite proficient in Western artillery, he volunteered to take over the command of the artillery team and seize the time to install and erect the artillery, while Mao Youde commanded the archers of the remaining soldiers to shoot at the top of the city.

Of course, the defenders of the city also shouted and shot arrows downward, or threw all kinds of things prepared in advance to defend the city, and many people also shot rockets towards the assembly place of the Ming army, and soon there was a fire in front of the north gate.

However, the bows and arrows of the defenders at the head of the city had a limited range, and they fell to the ground far away from the assembly place of the Ming archers. shot several rounds, but did not hurt a single corporal under Mao Youde.

However, the archers commanded by Mao Youde must be shot in every round, and there were bursts of screams from the city from time to time.

The city was shouting and shouting, and it was a mess, and the Ming army under the city was silent, and all that could be heard was the voice of Mao Youde's order: "Zhang Gong!" Shoot! Zhang Gong! Shoot! ……”

After a few more rounds of arrows, Bi Denghan sent someone to inform Mao Youde that the artillery team was ready, and Mao Youde immediately ordered the archers to retreat quickly, only to be greeted with a cheer from the defenders of the city.

When the defenders of the city saw Mao Youde's troops withdraw from the battle, they thought that this would be a victory in defending the city, and they immediately cheered.

However, before the cheers of the city stopped, the artillery team under the command of Bidenham, a row of twelve Franc machines, each aimed at the city gate about 300 paces ahead.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! After a strong breath of gunsmoke dissipated, the opening of the North Gate of Jeju County was suddenly opened, and the original two heavy wooden doors had already been broken into pieces, and only part of the door shaft and stubbornly remained in place.

The defenders at the head of the city seemed to be frightened by the deafening sound of cannons, and the crowd was as quiet as death, and the Ming army, which saw that the city gate was successfully destroyed, suddenly broke out into a tsunami-like shout, and everyone drew their swords and rushed towards the city gate!

Bi Denghan ordered Mao Youde's artillery team to stay behind, while he led more than 100 of his men, dragging a Franc machine gun, and also rushed into the north gate.

The rest is simple.

After entering the North Gate, Mao Youde's department, which was like a wolf and a tiger, broke out with a long-suppressed ferocity, attacking and beating all the way, and soon killed the defenders of the North Gate City, and those who surrendered on their knees were also slaughtered.

Of course, Mao Youde knew the key, and after entering the city gate, under the leadership of Lin Chuanfu and Luo Achou, he went straight to the county guard's mansion.

Today, the defenders in Jeju County are not well-trained standing troops, but civilian troops who were temporarily recruited by the county guards to go to King Geum, Seoul, in the year of the Later Jin Army's conquest of Korea.

Because the Korean king Yi Cong surrendered too quickly, the war was over before the national army of Jeju County set out.

After the end of the Battle of Ding Mao, North Korea learned from the painful experience and did not disband all the conscripted people's army, but kept it in case of emergency.

The 2,000-strong militia in Jeju County is the reserve army that was temporarily recruited a year ago.

Now that a year has passed, not only is there no training, but also not all the people are in the county, after all, these people still have to work in the fields during the busy farming season.

What's even worse is that the king of Joseon, Yi Cong, does not pay any military salaries and food for the recruited people's army, and even swords, guns, bows and arrows are supplied by each county.

So one can imagine what kind of army this is, or, so to speak, this cannot be counted as an army at all.

Moreover, it is not yet April, and it is the busy farming season on Jeju Island, and the Jeju County garrison, which was extremely short of equipment and training, is now the time of year when there is a large shortage of funds.

After all, the population of the entire Korean Peninsula is only 3 million, and the population of Jeju Island is even smaller, with 350,000 men, women, and children, and 2,000 soldiers being recruited, which is really a bit more than the population can bear.

Because of this, the county soldiers, who were originally full of 2,000, are now guarding the city with less than 1,000.

The soldiers under the command of Mao Youde had already established the kind of psychological advantage in the face of the North Korean militia on the way to this place by sail, so when encountering such a soft-footed shrimp, on the way to the county guard's mansion, it was natural to see people kill people, kill ghosts, and leave no one alive.

At this time, Cho Seok-yeong, the county guard of Jeju County, who was guarding the county guard's house, was suddenly disillusioned after learning that the North City Gate had been bombarded with more than a dozen cannons.

After all these years of hard work among the major forces, he finally managed to ensure that Jeju County was still within the territory of the Korean State, which was his only sustenance. However, at this moment, this illusory stability was finally shattered.

No matter who the other party is, this Jeju city, and even this Jeju Island, I am afraid that from now on it will no longer belong to North Korea.

Listening to the shouting and killing getting closer and closer, Zhao Shiyi straightened his clothes, returned to the back house of the county guard's mansion, called his wife and children to his study, and then locked the door, ignited the sulfur tung oil and other flammable materials that had been prepared long ago, and the whole family set themselves on fire and died.

The heroic act of the county guard Zhao Shiying really inspired the attendants and guards of the county guard, plus the civilian army who retreated all the way to the county guard, knowing that surrender was also a death, but the resistance became more intense.

When Mao Youde and his team felt in front of the gate of the county guard's mansion, they saw that the two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and led people to rush for a while, but they rushed to the door and couldn't open the door of the mansion.

In desperation, Mao Youde Ma sent an order to pull the artillery.

Fortunately, the herald had just set off and met Bidenham and others who had come all the way with artillery on the street.

Under the guidance of Lin Chuanbao, Bi Denghan entered the city gate and marched in the direction of the county guard, but with a three or four hundred pounds of Franc machine gun, he couldn't go fast if he wanted to, just like that, more than 100 people guarded a Franc machine gun and fell behind.

As soon as Bidenhan arrived, a distance of one hundred and ten paces, the artillery was erected, and there was no need to aim, and when the cannon passed, there was a big hole in the gate, and after the four cannons, the gate was already in tatters.

Mao Youde gave an order, and his corporal surged up like a tide.

However, at this time, Bidenham found that the backyard of the county guard mansion had burst into flames.

After Mao Youde's subordinates rushed into the county guard's mansion, the resistance of the guards in the mansion soon collapsed, and all the people in the mansion were killed.

The sound of cannons, shouts and fires in Jeju County naturally can't hide Yingzhou Ao, which is twenty miles away.

Chen Jisheng thought about it for a while, and knew that it was a good thing for Mao Youde. At this time, it was less than the fifth watch, and the original five watch cooking, starting at the end of the day, naturally could not be implemented.

Without waiting for Mao Weizhang to send someone to pass the word, Chen Jisheng soon arrived at Mao Weizhang's accommodation. I saw Mao Wei standing in front of the window with a pale face, looking at the sky-high fire in the distance, without saying a word.

Chen Jisheng said: "My lord, this must be Mao Youde and others, who are on fire with the defenders of Jeju County. In the view of humble duty, this is not the time to pursue responsibility, for the safety of the army, the adults should make a decision, quickly send reinforcements to respond, if Mao Youde wins, then everything is easy to say, if not win, you can also respond to safety, as far as possible to retreat. ”

When Mao Weizhang heard this, his face softened slightly, sighed, and said, "This Mao is virtuous!" ”

After saying this clueless sentence, Mao Weizhang continued: "Since the matter has come to this, I have to go all out." I'll go to Jeju County with you to see what the situation is all about. ”

Chen Jisheng quickly returned to the camp, leaving 500 soldiers to guard the warships in Yingzhou Ao, and then led the remaining 1,500 soldiers to escort the captured pirates in Yingzhou Ao, embraced Mao Weizhang, and set off in the direction of Jeju County.

As soon as he walked halfway, he met Bidenham's subordinates who had come back to report the victory.

Mao Weizhang and Chen Jisheng were overjoyed when they heard the news, and a stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and Mao Weizhang, who was originally resentful, finally smiled at this time, and the clouds on his face dissipated.

By the time Chen Jisheng escorted Mao Weizhang and led his subordinates to the north gate of Jeju County, it was already dark. The artillery team of Mao Youde's department, who stayed at the north gate, hurriedly stepped forward to meet Mao Weizhang and others.

In this way, the largest and only city on Jeju Island with earth-stone wall fortifications fell so easily into the hands of Mao Weizhang and other Ming troops in Donggang Town.
