Chapter 620: The King of the Dead Country

After another series of deafening explosions sounded on the battlefield, hundreds of Korean troops collapsed on the battlefield and turned into corpses before they could make any reaction.......

Soon, the area one hundred and fifty paces from the city wall was covered with artillery fire and gunsmoke.

On the city walls, the sound of cannons is an order. Mixed with a screaming flowering bullet, it just passed over everyone's heads. The Haw Par Army, which had been holding back and did not do its best to counterattack, did not hesitate at all.

One after another, grenades emitting white smoke were thrown down the city wall as if they didn't want money.

In the blink of an eye, the grenades that flew out of the city wall were more than twice as large as just now.

The North Korean army, which had already suffered heavy losses under the grenade attack, was suddenly attacked by a more intensive grenade rain, and the blow they faced could be directly described as devastating.

In the blink of an eye, the area within forty paces of the city wall was contrasted by the sound of various explosions.

In the face of the fierce attack that suddenly came in front of and behind him, the tens of thousands of North Korean troops caught in the middle directly panicked.

Especially the attack from behind, which directly made them feel that their back road was cut off, and the Haw Par Army wanted to wipe out all their people here.

As a result, these North Korean troops, whose morale was still high just now and seemed to be in sight, immediately became panicked.

In addition, the counterattack from the front suddenly became fierce, and although he was attacked by grenades just now, he was able to rush to the foot of the city wall with the advantage of troops. And now, under the increasingly intensive grenade attacks of the Haw Par Army, no matter what kind of strength advantage they have, they have no way to rush to the foot of the city wall, or even get closer to the city wall more than a dozen steps. It's become incredibly difficult.

Under such circumstances, the North Korean army, which was already filled with panic, became even more panicked at this moment, and directly fell into an embarrassing situation where it could not advance or retreat.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

The constant sound of gunfire at the city walls. It's like a talisman, constantly harvesting their lives, further exacerbating their panic.

The sudden changes in the battlefield shocked all the Korean troops who participated in the battle, and also shocked Ren Zu and others who were watching the battle in the rear.

Faced with a fire barrier on the battlefield composed entirely of artillery fire, Ren Zu directly opened his mouth in shock. I couldn't close it for a long time.

It wasn't until the subordinates around him reminded him that Ren Zu reacted from the shock.

The facial expression that was still full of anticipation just now turned directly white at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, he said in a heavy tone: "The conspiracy, sure enough, is the conspiracy of the Tiger and Leopard Army." They were going to eat all the troops in the king's hands in one bite...... Fortunately, this king still has 5,000 elites. Otherwise, Korea will die at the hands of this king. ”

The old general beside him followed up and reminded: "Your Majesty, the battlefield is so big, if the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to eat our tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield in one bite, it is absolutely impossible to do it in a short period of time." Therefore, the last general thought that the king should immediately give the order to withdraw the army. You can withdraw as much as you can......"

"Mingjin collects his troops and orders all the attacking troops to ......retreat immediately," Ren Zu reacted suddenly. Without thinking about it, he ordered.

So, there was such a scene on the battlefield.

After receiving the order to withdraw, the dense North Korean army, like a frightened rabbit, spread its legs and retreated backwards regardless of a single moment.

And behind them. Row after row of buckshot kept catching up with them. Shoot them in the back of the heart and shoot them in the way of retreat.

Soon. Behind these North Korean soldiers, a dense layer of corpses was dropped.

Of course, the attack from behind was not the deadliest for the frantically retreating North Korean troops.

Because, as long as they run fast enough, the whistling buckshot can't help them.

What really poses a mortal threat to them is the fire barrier formed by round after round of flowering bullets in front of them.

Under the harvest of the fragments of flowering shells and the scorching heat, half of the ten North Korean troops who rushed into the fire barrier were very lucky.

However, under the obstruction and cover of the smoke of gunpowder, they retreated frantically, and they did not know this situation.

In order to survive, these people resolutely rushed into the fire belt without hesitation......

As time passed, the gunfire, which had been ringing for almost half an hour, slowly stopped.

Although more than 10,000 of the tens of thousands of North Korean troops rushed through this fire barrier, the number of people left on the battlefield by lead bullets and flowering bullets was obviously higher.

When the smoke of gunpowder shrouded in the battlefield dispersed with the wind, the tragic picture of the battlefield appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

One hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall, within fifty steps of the foot of the city wall, there was almost a layer of black pressed Korean soldiers' corpses.

As for the rest of the area, there are countless corpses scattered everywhere.

Regarding this result, Zhao Yun, who had been paying attention to the battlefield and his face was unfazed from beginning to end, finally appeared with a smile of satisfaction from the heart.

On the other hand, the position of the North Korean army, facing the loss of more than half of its subordinates at once, and the black pressure on the battlefield pressed a large number of corpses. The entire force, from top to bottom, was shrouded in an unprecedented low morale.

At this moment, the old general, who still maintained a trace of sanity, hurriedly walked over, met Ren Zu's gaze at him, and reported in a low tone: "Your Majesty, the losses have been counted......"

"Except for the 5,000 elites who did not move, the more than 30,000 soldiers we sent to the battlefield, and in the end, only more than 12,000 people successfully returned. As for the other soldiers, they all died on the battlefield. ”

"In other words, the troops in the hands of this king are only 17,000 people...... "Ren Zu stared at a pair of red eyes, like a gambler who had lost money, and asked with an unwilling face......

The old general nodded, and replied with a gloomy face: "Not only that, but the dozens of Francophone guns we only have were all lost in the attack just now...... Coupled with the fact that the morale of the soldiers is very low, we have lost the opportunity to continue the counterattack on Pyongyang......"

In the face of this very cruel truth, a trace of despair quickly appeared on Ren Zu's face.

Under the gaze of a group of subordinates, he said to himself in a low tone: "It's over, North Korea is over, I really didn't expect that North Korea would die in the hands of this king...... If I knew this, I wouldn't have sent troops to Liaodong for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......"

If Ren Zudu loses confidence in North Korea, then North Korea is really finished.

Therefore, as soon as Ren Zu finished saying this, the old general's brows furrowed.

After some contemplation, he decisively retorted: "No, Your Majesty, North Korea is not dead yet, we still have a chance to ......"

"Please listen to the words of the last general, as long as the king does not give up, there is still hope for North Korea......" (To be continued)
