Chapter 589: The Future King of Joseon is also crazy

The Janissaries were caught off guard and several people were killed. The Tiger Army, which was stationed with the Praetorian Guards, immediately counterattacked, also killing more than a dozen thieves, suppressing the offensive of the thief army at once. Originally, the thieves wanted to attack the port of Incheon, but after the gunshots rang out, the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.

According to Gao Yu's comprehensive observation, the number of the thief army was quite large, maybe about 3,000 people, and they were indeed trying to break through from the north. Therefore, the area where the Tiger Army focuses on deploying is also north of the port of Incheon. The Tiger Army blocked all the roads leading into the port of Incheon. At all the vantage points, snipers were also arranged.

At this time, although it is nighttime, the moonlight is very bright. Today is the night of December 13, and the moon is almost full. I don't know if it's because the moon is particularly round in foreign countries, but anyway, the visibility tonight is really good. In the open space, it looks like daylight, and even the cracks between the stone slabs can be clearly seen.

Zhang Zhun stood on top of a stone, raised a clairvoyant mirror, and carefully observed the movements of the thief army. To the north of Incheon Port is a field. Since it was December, the fields were empty and desolate. When they arrived, the thieves were launching a powerful attack. About 2,000 bandits tried to cross the fields and rush towards the port of Incheon.

The thief army in the shot is a regular North Korean army. In fact, Zhang Zhun had never seen the regular North Korean army, and the people in front of him were different from the Praetorian Guards in Qingyun Palace. However, their movements, as well as their postures, fully demonstrate that they are professionally trained regular troops. The uniform of the North Korean army, which is basically red. Under the moon, they are like swarms of big-headed red ants, constantly rushing forward.

Zhang Zhun also took a closer look and found that the weapons and equipment of these thieves were not as good as the Shandong Ming army commanded by Zhu Dadian. After all, the lower country is the lower country, and the upper country is the upper country after all. No matter how bad the army of the Ming Kingdom is, it will not be worse than the army of North Korea. Under such circumstances, it is indeed unrealistic to expect North Korea to confront the Tartars alone without the help of external forces.

The Marines of the Tiger Army have long been deployed here for a long time. The thieves came up, and the Tiger Ben army immediately opened fire. With the sound of gunshots, thieves were killed in the fields. Zhang Zhun glanced at it casually and found that there were at least more than 200 thieves killed. However, the other thieves are still rushing upward.

The officials on the North Korean side suddenly became nervous. The thief army of more than 2,000 people launched an attack together, and the momentum still looked very scary, especially for civilian officials who rarely experienced battle formations. At this moment, the moonlight is also miserable and white, and the white is a little scary. The white moonlight, shining on the red big-headed ants, feels a little weird no matter how you look at it.

The Praetorian Guard, who was responsible for protecting the safety of the prince, was also a little nervous. Most of the weapons in the hands of these Praetorian Guards are three-eyed guns, and some of them are thunderbolts and birds. Such a weapon, within North Korea, is indeed considered good. However, these weapons are obviously not enough to deal with enemies many times larger than themselves.

"The ...... of the Prince"

Yin Siming hurriedly said.

He wanted to take the prince away from the front and to a safe place in the rear. But I didn't think about whether the safety of the prince would be guaranteed if the defense line was breached. If the prince is captured by the thief army and falls into Shen Qiyuan's hand, Shen Qiyuan will have more cards in his hand. It is also unknown whether the Tartars will use Li Hao to put pressure on Li Liang.

"The ...... of the Prince"

Park An-sung also persuaded tactfully beside him.

He also didn't realize the difference between the son here and in the rear. Probably this is also the habitual thinking of all literati. They subconsciously felt that the battle had nothing to do with civilian officials, it was a matter for military generals. In fact, Li Hao's appearance on the front line still had a certain effect on the morale of the Praetorian Guard. If Li Hao withdrew, it would be the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard, and it would be greatly reduced.

Li Hao was unmoved. Of course, he did not have confidence in the Praetorian Guard, but in Zhang Zhun. Because, under the moonlight, he could clearly see that under the blow of the Tiger Army, the thieves who tried to rush up were constantly falling. The faster the thief army can charge, the faster it will fall. In the dark, it seems that a pair of eyes are staring at them. Whoever runs the hardest will be killed the fastest.

The gunfire of the Tiger Ben Army rang out like a burning firecracker, full of exhilarating power. In the midst of such a noise, Li Hao felt very safe. He believed that the Tiger Army had enough strength to push these thieves back.

Zhang Zhun said confidently: "You don't have to panic, with me, the son of the world is safe and sound." ”

Yin Siming wanted to speak and stopped. Zhang Zhun's promise is obviously very domineering, and Yin Siming doesn't believe it. In their eyes, Zhang Zhun's status is, of course, not as good as that of the son. Anyway, Zhang Zhun is just a guest from outside, but Li Hao is the next king of Joseon. However, this guest is really not easy to mess with, and he doesn't dare to say anything directly against Zhang Zhun.

Park Ancheng frowned and said: "Lord Governor, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the front line is dangerous after all, and the arrows and stones are ruthless, wouldn't it be better for you and the prince to go to the back to command?" ”

This statement is much more euphemistic, and the reason for taking Zhang Zhun and Shizi away from the front line together is very sufficient. Subconsciously, he regarded Zhang Zhun as a person like Shizi. Who? It is a person who has no power to catch chickens against the thief army, and only knows how to give orders from behind. There are too many such commanders in the Ming army, no wonder Park Ancheng has such habitual thinking.

Zhang Zhun heard the hidden meaning of Park Ancheng's words, smiled slightly, and then beckoned casually. Meng Xia handed him a spare Tiger Ben. Seeing Zhang Zhun holding a gun, the faces of the North Korean officials around him suddenly changed. They thought Zhang Zhun was threatening them with a gun. Zhang Zhun dared to fire artillery demonstrations in the port, what else did he dare not do?

However, they clearly guessed wrong. If Zhang Zhun wants to threaten them, where does he need to do it himself? To kill these hundreds of North Korean Janissaries, Zhang Zhun only needs Nunu's mouth, and the people around him can complete it cleanly and neatly, without leaving any hand tails. I saw Zhang Zhun casually raise the tiger gun, casually looked at the thief army in front of him, and then quietly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and a thief in the distance suddenly fell to the ground.

Those North Korean officials, including Shizi, were slightly stunned, and then their eyes lit up. They really didn't expect that Zhang Zhun still had such a ability. They also thought that Zhang Zhun was similar to other Ming Dynasty officials, who were good at commanding in the back, but not good at charging into battle.

Zhang Zhun didn't pay attention to his results, and after lightly changing to a tiger gun, he raised his hand and shot again. His movements are simple and skillful, full of beauty.

"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire was heard, and another thief fell to the ground in the distance.

This time, the eyes of Li Hao, Yin Siming, Park Ancheng and others were even brighter. The eyes of the prince Li Hao are especially clear and bright, obviously with a look of worship. If Zhang Zhun was lucky to be able to hit the thief army with the first shot, the second shot continued to hit, and it was absolutely impossible to explain it by luck. It's definitely a real thing!

They had only heard that the Tiger Army could fight, and even the Tartars were no opponents, but they had never seen them in person. They don't know what the Tiger Army's ability is, they don't know where the Tiger Army is powerful, and they don't know what Zhang Zhun has as the commander of the Tiger Army.

Now, they have finally seen Zhang Zhun with their own eyes. Raise your hand and shoot and kill an enemy. Raise your hand and shoot another enemy. What kind of killing efficiency is this? Even if the thief army kept coming over, it was not enough for Zhang Zhun to slaughter like this. It is no wonder that even the murderous Tartar is not Zhang Zhun's opponent, and thousands of people were killed in a single battle.

Zhang Zhun wanted to fully display the prestige of the Celestial Empire in front of the Koreans and restore their confidence in the Ming Kingdom. Therefore, after two shots, he did not stop. He fired ten shots in a row, killing ten thieves in a row. The connection process in the middle is like flowing water, so skillful that it can't be more skillful.

Yin Siming, Park Ancheng and others even have their eyeballs protruding. Li Hao's eyes exuded a light of worship. Such a brave Ming military general can simply compare with Li Rusong and Ma Gui back then, or even surpass them. The military generals of the Ming Kingdom that the Koreans admire the most are these two people. If it weren't for the desperate fight between the two, the Koreans might have been annexed by the Japanese.

After ten shots, Zhang Zhuncai put down the tiger gun casually, glanced at Li Hao beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly: "Shizi, do you want two shots?" ”

Li Hao was in a state of excitement, and when he heard this, he immediately subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to take the tiger over. However, after a moment, he hesitated again, retracted his outstretched hand, and asked a little worriedly, "I...... Will it work? ”

Zhang Zhun said affirmatively: "Of course you can!" ”

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took the tiger over.

Brigadier Zhang handed him the tiger hammer, reached out and pressed his shoulder, taught him to adjust his shooting posture, and said eloquently: "The butt of the gun is hard against the shoulder socket, don't shake." Resist hard. The target, the crosshair, the three points of the door are in a line, you just need to pull the trigger. ”

Li Hao's little face was swollen, a little nervous, and a little excited, because he was holding the tiger gun too hard, and his fingers were obviously a little white. If you listen closely, you can still hear that his breathing is also a little slow, as if there is a huge pressure that weighs him down.

Zhang Zhun encouraged: "Don't be nervous, hold your breath, and stabilize your body." ”

Li Hao did it one by one,

Zhang Zhun saw that his posture was about the same, then nodded and said, "Okay!" Shoot! ”

Li Hao immediately pulled the trigger hard.

"Bang!"

The dull sound of gunfire shook everyone around.

The huge recoil force obviously made Li Hao's body crooked. Fortunately, according to Zhang Zhun's request, he vigorously pressed the butt of the rifle with his shoulder socket. Therefore, the body just crooked, and then it stabilized. Of course, the shoulder was hit with some pain, and that was inevitable. Adults who shoot a tiger for the first time are not immune to this pain, and children are no exception.

Li Hao shot out, and a thief army in front of him just stumbled and fell, Zhang Zhun slapped his palms and said happily: "The son of the world is good!" Hit! ”

In fact, judging from the time and posture of the fall of the thief army, it should have been hit by someone else. However, since Zhang Zhun said that Li Hao hit, it was Li Hao who hit. The people around Li Hao couldn't tell the difference at all. The people around Zhang Zhun who can distinguish will naturally not talk much. Yin Siming, Park Ancheng and others hurriedly congratulated Li Hao.

Of course, Li Hao couldn't tell the difference, and thought that he had indeed hit. Under the compliments of the officials around him, he seemed even more excited. For a while, the little face turned red, and he held the tiger gun firmly. Suddenly realized that something was wrong, and put the tiger gun up again. When the tiger gun was erected, the muzzle of the gun was almost as high as his nose.

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Do you have the strength to come again?" ”

Li Hao said slightly excitedly: "Okay! ”

Brigadier Zhang took his Tiger Ben Gun and replaced it with another one loaded with ammunition.

This time, without Zhang Zhun's reminder, Li Hao himself was able to put on a shooting posture that basically met the specifications. In fact, he had also been trained in musket shooting before, but not as rigorously as others, and he had never been on the battlefield himself. I only saw that he was aiming at the thief army in front of him, and then pulled the trigger. With his previous experience, he pulled the trigger with less force.

"Bang!"

The dull sound of gunfire came again.

This time, Li Hao really hit it. A thief army not far away was hit in the thigh by him, supported crookedly, and tried to continue to rush upwards with one jump and another. I have to say that this guy still has some courage not to be afraid of death, and he still rushes up when he is injured. As a result, a soldier of the Tiger Ben Army gave him a shot, and he lay on the ground silently and would not move.

Li Hao said with a little disgust: "He is Feng Gaobao!" ”

Zhang Zhun didn't know which Feng Gaobao was, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yin Siming.

Yin Siming was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he asked reflexively: "His Royal Highness, are you sure it's Feng Gaobao?" ”

Li Hao clenched his small fist and said affirmatively: "That's right! That's him! I know him! ”

Yin Siming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "The son of the world is really powerful!" One shot killed one of the four King Kongs beside Shen Qiyuan! It turned out that he led the thief army! No wonder! ”

He immediately explained to Zhang Zhun that this Feng Gaobao was a famous general beside Shen Qiyuan, and he didn't know where he learned a good kung fu, and he was the most unsightly. In North Korea, this person has always been known for being cruel and ruthless, and has committed many crimes. It's just that because of Shen Qiyuan's protection, others can't do anything about him. If I didn't guess wrong, it is very likely that this person was the one who led the thief army south and tried to sneak attack Incheon Port.

Unexpectedly, this person was shot to death by Li Hao. It's really a magnificent skynet, negligent but not leaky. He can be considered blessed to die in Li Hao's hands. Well, Li Hao just hit the other party, and he didn't kill with a single shot. However, if the battle exploits are counted on Li Hao's head, others will naturally not have any opinions.

Brigadier Zhang took back the tiger and said encouragingly: "The performance of the prince is good, he killed Feng Gaobao with one shot, and when he goes back, he will definitely be praised by his father." In fact, there is nothing great about the thief army, and there is nothing great about the Tartars, they are all human beings, and they can all be killed. ”

Li Hao nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "You're right! ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, and said earnestly: "As long as we have confidence, courage, and determination, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." ”

Li Hao nodded as if he didn't understand.

When Zhang Zhun was talking, the gunshots in his ears actually never stopped. Feng Gaobao's death does not seem to have led to the rout of the thief army. After this, there were still a large number of thieves trying to rush up, only to be met with head-on fire from the Tigers Marines and snipers.

The battlefield is such an open field, and the moonlight is so bright, so that the tiger can fully exert its power. Under the dense fire of Mini bullets, the thieves continued to fall. The originally empty field soon had many corpses of thieves.

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

In less than half a pillar of incense, the thief army had to ring the gong for retreat. The remnants of the thief army hurriedly turned around and retreated. If they don't retreat, they'll all hang here. From the launch of the attack to the retreat, their forward was at least twenty zhang away from the defense line of the Tiger Army.

However, even if they retreated, the snipers of the Tiger Army would not let them go. In the monotonous sound of gunfire one after another, one by one the thief army continued to fall. It wasn't until all the surviving thieves disappeared into the darkness that the gunfire slowly subsided.

Standing on the commanding heights and looking out, I only saw the fields outside, and there were corpses of thieves everywhere. The thieves come quickly and retreat quickly. Gao Yu and the others went out to count the merits of the battle, and by the way, they arrested the undead thief army and interrogated them. However, there is basically no need for interrogation. Because, Feng Gaobao's body, which was hit by Li Hao, was quickly dragged back.

After careful identification by the North Korean side, it is believed that it is one of the four King Kongs beside Shen Qiyuan. Since Feng Gaobao appeared here, these thieves, of course, are all Shen Qiyuan's subordinates. So, Park An-sung ordered his head to be cut off and prepared to take it back to Seoul as evidence of the crime.

According to conservative estimates, the casualties of the thief army should have exceeded eight hundred. The thief army came with about 3,000 people, and it was only after 800 people were killed that they were dispersed, and such combat effectiveness should be the elite of Shen Qiyuan's subordinates. The average North Korean army obviously cannot support such casualties.

"My lord, the thieves have retreated, should we pursue?"

Liu Dong came up to ask for instructions.

"There's no need."

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently.

When these thieves were defeated, they must have withdrawn to Pyongyang and to Shen Jiyuan's barracks. The Tiger Ben army wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and the only way to eliminate all of Shen Qiyuan's army is to wipe out all of them. Obviously, it's not that time yet.

"Arrange a vigilance and watch out for sporadic thieves."

Zhang Zhun admonished.

Liu Dong agreed.

Zhang Zhun looked at the people around him and said slowly: "The thief army has retreated, and the evidence of the crime has been obtained, should we march towards Seoul?" ”
