Chapter 156: The Capture of Seoul

Seoul, the royal palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The king of Joseon was sitting on the throne, looking good and in a good mood, and after listening to the minister's recital, he was about to start speaking, when suddenly, someone hurriedly broke in.

Someone was about to shout "bold", but the person who came immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good!" ”

"What's the matter, say!" The king of Joseon said displeasedly.

This man's tone was sad, and he almost cried and said: "Your Majesty, this morning, a Ming Dynasty sailor came, all of them are very large warships, as soon as they arrived at Incheon Port, they immediately bombarded the wharf, and in an instant, the entire wharf was almost leveled, and then....and then ....."

"Say, what happened then?"

The man trembled and said, "Then a group of tigers and wolves got down from the ship, and in less than half an hour, they killed all our thousands of soldiers and horses near the dock, and now they are heading straight for Seoul." ”

"Ahh

The king of Joseon was almost so frightened that he fell down directly, and there were at least three or four thousand men and horses left in the Incheon port area, how could they be killed by the other party so quickly.

"No way, you must be lying about the military?" There was no need for the king of Joseon to question, and immediately a military general asked loudly.

The person who came turned pale, "General Jin, where does the villain dare to lie about the military situation, this is true, thousands of us are not opponents at all, the other party has all the same firearms, we can't fight with them at all, we can only be slaughtered." In addition, General Lee had already died in battle. ”

The "General Lee" in this person's mouth is the North Korean military general who led the attack on Xu Liangyi and others yesterday, and died under the fierce artillery fire, and was almost left with slag from the flowering bombs.

After listening to the report, the entire hall was in chaos.

"What a good thing this is!"

"What about this, they are obviously here for revenge."

"I said a long time ago, you shouldn't offend this Ming Dynasty fleet, now it's okay, the other party is coming."

“…….”

The king of Joseon glanced at the ministers who were in a mess below, and said loudly: "What is the panic, what is the system,"

Seeing that the king of Korea was angry, these ministers gradually quieted down, and they all looked at the king of Korea, and the king of Korea said slowly: "This is Seoul, our capital, how can they fight so easily." ”

Seoul was the capital of North Korea, with tens of thousands of heavy troops stationed nearby, which was also the capital of the Korean king's own ability to fight a war.

"General Jin, you will personally lead the troops into battle."

"Yes!"

…………

At this time, the whole of Inchon was completely under Zhang Feng's control, and the five thousand marines accompanying him were ready to attack Seoul.

"Lord Commander, really attack Seoul, that's the capital of North Korea."

Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, are you not sure? ”

"No, it's not." Zhao Weibin hurriedly shook his head, Zhao Weibin was just a little shocked, and he couldn't believe it in his heart, after all, it was the other party's capital.

The Marine Corps is a little different from Wang Chaoyong's army, with 100 people as a squadron, 300 people as a squadron, 1,000 people as a brigade, and 5,000 people as five brigades.

This time, a total of five brigades came, one of which was equipped with the latest breech-loading guns, and the remaining four brigades were equipped with front-loading rifled muskets.

Although the rear-loading musket has entered mass production, the production time is still short, and the replacement is far from being completed, and the navy is equipped with more than 1,000 units, and the army is only equipped with more than 1,000 units.

In addition to the five brigade-sized teams, there were twenty-four 70-mm guns, although the caliber of this kind of artillery was a little smaller, but it was lightweight and could be loaded on a transport ship for transportation, if it was a 150-mm gun, it would not work, it was too heavy.

On the road from Inchon to Seoul, everyone was wearing steel helmets and carrying muskets, and everyone was marching, which was the Marine Corps, and Zhang Feng and Zhao Weibin were also walking, not riding.

From Incheon to Seoul, more than 40 kilometers, it only took us two or three hours, and in the afternoon, we arrived at the outskirts of Seoul.

However, the military situation came that on the outskirts of Seoul, the North Korean army of about 10,000 people was already waiting for Zhang Feng and them to pass.

On the western outskirts of Seoul, on a hillside.

Zhang Feng was condescending, holding a telescope and looking a few miles away, Zhang Feng saw the North Korean army and the surrounding terrain.

Zhang Feng said to Zhao Weibin next to him: "Commander Zhao, look outside the city, the terrain is open, and the Koreans have even chosen the battlefield place, just waiting for us to pass." ”

Zhao Weibin nodded and said, "Lord Commander, not only that, but there are also many people on the city wall, who are obviously ready to defend the city." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, listen to my orders!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Weibin stood straight and saluted, with excitement in his tone.

Zhao Weibin knew that there would be a big battle soon, and it would be the performance time of his own marines next, no wonder Zhao Weibin was so excited and happy.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng said loudly: "The first brigade will attack from the flank, the second to fourth brigades will attack from the front, and the fifth brigade will be the reserve, and they will attack after half an hour." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Weibin was even more excited, and said loudly: "Lord Commander, do you want to eat more than 10,000 of them in one fell swoop?" ”

There are both frontal attacks, flank attacks, and reserves, Zhang Feng's plan is to establish a prestige, let those Koreans on the city wall take a look, how did I, Zhang Feng, eat more than 10,000 of your men.

The main attack of three brigades, that is, 3,000 people, each armed with a front-loading rifled flintlock musket, using three-stage shooting, from the flank attack for the first brigade, this brigade is different, equipped with the latest rear-loading guns, combat effectiveness is very strong.

In addition, for the sake of safety, Zhang Feng also left a reserve of 1,000 people, so deployed, Zhang Feng was sure to win, and wanted to eat the opponent's more than 10,000 men and horses in one fell swoop.

Zhang Feng said: "Commander Zhao, don't you have this appetite and can't eat the other party's more than 10,000 people?" ”

Zhao Weibin stood up and said loudly: "Lord Commander, there is no problem, we will definitely eat their more than 10,000 men and horses, and let them see how the battle is fought." ”

Half an hour later.

The first battalion had already made a detour to the enemy's flank, and the three infantry battalions of the main attack were in a neat formation, all with muskets in hand, and were approaching to deal with it.

The more than 10,000 North Korean troops had long been prepared, and when they saw Zhang Feng's men pressing up, and the number was only 3,000, the number was much less than his own, and the North Korean generals, who did not know the power of the muskets, shouted loudly and gave the order to attack, at least thousands of people rushed over.

In this way, the scene was very spectacular, Zhang Feng and a large group of people stood on the hillside with binoculars and saw it clearly. The Korean defenders on the city wall were condescending, and with the close distance, they could see more clearly.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen such a spectacular scene."

"This is our army of tens of thousands, and this group of thousands of people in the Ming Military Region really don't know whether they are alive or dead."

"The outside of the city is open and flat, and these Ming troops are waiting to be slaughtered."

"There is no suspense in the battle."

On the city wall, the group of Koreans witnessed all this, and saw that they had more than 10,000 people, and the other party only had a few thousand, and the terrain was flat, which was very beneficial to them, and they couldn't help but look happy, thinking that they had won.

However, this is not the case.

The distance between the two sides quickly approached, and at this time, a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Gunshots rang out, blood splattered, screams continued, and these attacking Koreans kept falling, and they fell quickly.

Gunfire followed one after another, this is a three-stage shooting method, each round of nearly a thousand muskets fired, soon, the place was lying full of corpses, but the group of Koreans received the order to charge, rush over to kill the Ming army, so, brave the shooting, shouting to charge.

"It's... This... Not really! ”

"He... How could their muskets be so powerful. ”

"It's... That's impossible. ”

On the city wall, many North Koreans were stunned and stunned when they saw this scene, and their heads couldn't turn for a while.

There was a North Korean military general, who looked at all this happening outside the city blankly, his face turned pale, and muttered: "Their muskets are actually so powerful, how can they fight." ”

Three brigades, 3,000 people attacked, the battle was completely one-sided, everyone used a three-stage shooting method, while shooting, while advancing, step by step approaching.

At the same time, gunfire rang out on the flanks, and the first brigade of a thousand men, armed with the latest breech-loading muskets, also began to slaughter, completely one-sided.

The rear-loading musket has a much faster rate of fire than the front-loading gun, and instead of using the three-stage shooting method, everyone shoots freely, approaching while shooting.

One-sided, completely one-sided.

The Korean generals leading the army outside the city shouted with all their might, "Retreat, retreat, retreat to the city, hurry, hurry!" ”

If you stay outside the city any longer, there will be only one end, that is, the whole army will be annihilated, so in the face of the shooting of the marines, the North Koreans are completely chaotic, and they are completely out of order, and they retreat into the city in a chaotic manner.

Everyone almost chased the Koreans into the city, so that even the siege of the city was saved.

On the hillside.

Zhao Weibin shouted, "Lord Commander, everyone has entered the city, this battle is really cool, cool, so cool." ”

The war went so smoothly, Zhang Feng was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The Korean army is so bad, so you can't help fighting, no wonder you will be beaten by the Tartars all over the ground to find teeth, and then become a vassal state of the Tartars." ”

Seeing that everyone was going into the city, Zhang Feng said loudly: "Let's go, take our reserves, let's go into the city and go to the Korean palace for a turn." ”

Go to the Joseon Royal Palace!

Hearing this, Zhao Weibin was inexplicably happy, and said loudly: "Reserves, follow me, target the Korean Palace." ”
