Chapter Ninety-Six: Breaking into the City

Li Lu led the army to two miles away from the city, only to see that Jeju City is made of stones, quite strong, however, the city is not high, only two zhang high, there is no artillery on the city, the most surprising thing for Li Lu is that Jeju has no moat, only one person to come to the high and not wide moat, Li Lu pouted, this is also the state city.

When the artillery team was lined up one mile away from the city, Li Lu ordered four nine-pounder cannons and six six-pounder cannons to fire at the city gate.

Cui Zhenshi was dressed in scale armor, standing at the north gate and looking at the enemy, only to see that the enemy was wearing black iron armor, and the clothes exposed outside were also black, the iron helmet with face armor, only the gap between the eyes was exposed, the military was mighty and hideous, and the Jeju soldiers were miscellaneous soldiers compared to them, and the queue was also extremely neat in walking, and it could even be said that it was too neat, and a faint drum sounded when it came, which coincided with the pace of the march. The first four columns are full of musketeers, and the back are pikemen. A huge black and white tiger-headed banner shook in the sea breeze, and the tiger's open bloody mouth and two huge fangs moved with the wind, which was very hideous. There is also a banner with red letters on a blue background, with the big Li character on it. Where did this soldier come from, this is not a messy pirate, I really can't guess.

Cui Zhenshi served as an lieutenant in Yizhou in the north of the kingdom, and the border army and barbarian bannermen who had seen the Ming Dynasty did not have such a military appearance. Of course, Xu is the palace's palace camp is not easy to use, but Cui Zhenshi doesn't think so.

Cui Zhenshi is most concerned about the opponent's artillery, if you hit the city gate, this is a trouble, the poor and long-term warless Jeju City has no jack gate at all, everything is in a hurry at the moment, there is no stone rolling wood, there is no object to block the city gate, only wait for the people to arrive and then block the city gate, of course, although the government soldiers are short of thirty percent, there are also 700 people, there are only more than 1,000 enemies in the current array, Cui Zhenshi does not think that they dare to destroy the gate to attack, before the follow-up enemy arrives, the city still has time to block the city gate, If someone questioned whether there were still enemy troops, Choi Jin-seok would definitely scoff at them, there must be, he didn't think that the enemy would dare to attack Jeju with this manpower alone, otherwise it would not be a siege but a death.

At this moment, the opponent's artillery suddenly opened fire, and a large puff of smoke rose up.

Six out of ten cannonballs hit the city gate, and there was a cracking sound of wooden planks from the city gate, Cui Zhenshi understood that there was no point in continuing to hold on to the city, he ordered the four hundred government soldiers in the north city to leave one hundred archers in the north city tower, and the others hurriedly went down to the city to form a team.

Three salvos in four minutes, Huang Song, the head of the artillery team, nodded with satisfaction,

"Brothers, work hard, the gates of the city will be broken." Xuanfu official Duan Wenze shouted.

Quack, Huang Song pouted, what kind of propaganda officer, just know how to play tricks.

"Quick, quick, quick, we're going to break the door in a minute." Huang Song shouted.

A group of men were busy putting the projectiles in and lighting the fire rope.

"Boom, boom." Smoke rose again. A large hole was opened in the middle of the gate, which was one man wide.

"It's not enough, come again, just once." Huang Song shouted hoarsely.

Liu Fugui, Zou Huaien, Lao Liao, Gao Bo and other hundreds of soldiers lay on the ground less than 100 steps away from the city gate to get out of the artillery firing boundary, waiting for the order to attack the city.

"Damn, the cannon is so loud that even the ground is shaking." Lao Liao spat out and scolded.

"It's also a sound, I don't know." Liu Fugui pouted, "Look at how thick the barrel of the ship's cannon is, how thin the barrel of the cannon is." ”

"Boom, boom." Another volley fired, and the gates struggled to fall slowly.

Three trumpets sounded, the soldiers marched quickly towards the city gate, two hundred guns stopped at a position close to a hundred steps away from the city, three hundred guns and pikemen rushed to the city gate in formation, in front of the moat, four soldiers put four two feet long ladders on the moat, the other soldiers rushed through the moat along the ladder, rushed to the city gate, when more than 100 Korean archers began to fire arrows at them, nearly 100 paces of two hundred guns were divided into four columns, fire in turn, bang, bang sounded, smoke filled, more than ten Korean archers on the city tower screamed and fell, The rest of the archers did not dare to probe, they could only diffuse into the sky on the city wall, the accurate head was almost none, Liu Fugui panted and ran with the brothers Quanshi, they were even in the first row, the city scattered arrows, Liu Fugui was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, he felt a blow on the shoulder, but there was no pain, no flesh. They were about to enter the city gate, and the second and third rows in the back row were the firecrackers, and in a flash of darkness, they entered the doorway.

Cui Zhenshi hated it greatly, and when he ordered the only dozen or so firecrackers at hand to aim at the doorway and fire, only one firecracker's gun went off, and only one of them was fired, and the usual drills of the government soldiers could be seen, and it was too late to say anything at this time. Cui Zhenshi immediately understood that the city was over.

He led more than 100 pikemen to charge at the enemy, and the only hope at this time was to seal the enemy in the doorway and prevent them from taking advantage of their numbers.

But when the two crowds met in the doorway, Cui Zhenshi's thoughts were immediately disillusioned, the spear of the government soldiers was only more than one person high, but the enemy's spear was one zhang long, and the result of the collision was that all the government soldiers in the first row were killed, and the sound of puff sounded, and all the government soldiers fell to the ground to fight for their lives, and the enemy army was like a broken bamboo.

Liu Fugui raised his spear and stabbed frantically, retracted, stabbed forward, retracted, the miserable howls and sprayed blood of the Korean soldiers who fell to the ground on the opposite side could not affect him at all, and he saw too much blood and death in the years of exile in Liaodong, which was not a thing. The two enemies in front of him fell, and the second enemy only stabbed Liu Fugui a little, but it was only so short. The second row of musketeers opened fire on the enemy soldiers in front of them, bang, the smoke spread in the doorway, there was a scream in the doorway, the musketeers in the third row fired into the smoke that could not be seen clearly, Liu Fugui and his people stumbled out of the smoke and entered the city without knowing what they stepped on, only to see that the Korean soldiers had turned around and fled, the reason was that some of the North Korean wounded soldiers who crawled out with a roll, some were pierced through the abdomen by the gun, and some were injured in the chest by the firearms, and they rolled into the city with a miserable howl. Deng Shi frightened the soldiers who had never experienced a battle formation, they seemed to be frightened rabbits and turned around and ran, and Choi Jin-seok had already been killed by a fire bolt in the door hole, and no one restrained them anymore, and Jeju Castle was in front of him.

Liu Fugui gasped heavily, and the rest of the people stopped to rest, the battle was not long, but they were the first row, and they were also the most nervous, the most fierce fighting platoon, the enemy fled, they all felt the pressure relaxed, and then they felt physical and mental fatigue. The other soldiers who entered quickly overtook them and rushed into the city, where they began to sweep away the remnants of the enemy.

Li Zhenxin waited anxiously in the official office, when he heard the continuous roar of the cannon, he felt his body trembling uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and did it, a cup of tea, the sound of the cannon stopped, and he heard the sound of fighting in the distance. Then the sound of the pot came from far and near, defeated, the city gate was lost, and the chaotic shouts came in. Li Zhen stopped trembling.

"Adults, go out from the south gate with the little ones and go to XJTLU." Li Mou, Quan Bin came in and said.

"Li Mu, you take people out from the south gate to Xipu, find a boat to go to Hainan County, and the water camp in Lishui County is in an emergency." Li Zhen said.

"My lord, I'll go together, you can't stay, the pigs and dogs are not as good, the little ones are afraid of ......," Li Mu said with tears in his eyes.

"Li Mou, this official lost the county today, and when he goes back, he will be arrested and questioned, and his family will be punished as a crime. Li Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes." Li Mu gritted his teeth and left with tears.

"Kwon Bin, you escort him." Li Zhen said.

"My lord, I am your guard." Kwon Bin didn't move.

"Kwon Bin, do you think I still need to use guards? With your escort, Li Mou is likely to return to Jeolla Province, which can reduce my crime. Go quickly. Li Zhen drank.

"Yes." Kwon Bin bowed and bowed.

Li Zhen was strong, stood up and walked to the wall, picked up the saber hanging on the wall and followed him for twenty years, and with a bang, Li Zhen pulled out the saber, and a cold light was reflected on Li Zhen's face.

Li Zhen waved his sword back and wiped it on his neck, the sword reached his neck, and Li Zhen couldn't do anything, and Li Zhen just wore out the skin of his neck, and calmly went to righteousness.

"Guards." Li Zhen shouted in shame, and only called the guards to help him commit suicide.

There was no answer outside, thinking that they had fled for their lives.

Li Zhen wanted to cry without tears, regretted driving away Quan Bin, and couldn't commit suicide, he was really useless as a scholar, and he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide when it came to the end.
