Chapter 617: If you want to perish, go crazy first

The wish was good, but what Ren Zu didn't know was that all the news about Pyongyang in his hands came out before Zhao Yun entered Pyongyang.

Before Zhao Yun entered Pyongyang, the limited strength of the forward regiment, except for guarding the prisoners and maintaining the most basic defense of Pyongyang City, did not have any spare troops to eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers in Pyongyang City.

And this leads to zhì, although most of the monarchs and ministers of North Korea are in the hands of the forward regiment of the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, there were still some monarchs lurking in the city of Pyongyang. What's more, the homes of these courtiers are still in their hands.

After Zhao Yun was stationed in Pyongyang, the problem of insufficient troops in the forward regiment was solved.

has troops, plus Zhao Yun's identity as a bandit. More than 10,000 Haw-Par troops can finally stop being afraid.

After one division was transferred to defend Pyongyang City, one division remained, directly under Zhao Yun's order, with companies as units, to clear out all hidden enemies and crises in the city.

Under Zhao Yun's order that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, in just one night, more than 1,000 people were killed in Pyongyang City, and more than 2,500 people were taken prisoner.

What's more, the ministers who liaised with Ren Zu, without exception, all fell into the hands of Zhao Yun.

It can be said that at this moment, Pyongyang City only needs Zhao Yun to send a regiment to guard the prisoners, and there will be no other crisis.

Of course, all of this is not clear to Ren Zu.

At this moment, tens of thousands of North Korean troops who had rested all night had completed the encirclement of Pyongyang under the command of Im Zudeok.

Maybe it was the inner response in Ren Zu's mouth that played a role, on the faces of tens of thousands of soldiers. Not only is there no more worry and panic from the day before. Instead, morale is high. It was as if the siege battle in front of them was inevitable for them.

Of course, this result is what Ren Zu wants to see the most.

Therefore, from the beginning of the assembly of tens of thousands of soldiers, Ren Zu's face was covered with a thick smile.

Not only that, but under the cover of the smile, there is also a monstrous confidence in this siege battle.

In less than an hour, tens of thousands of North Korean troops completed the siege of Pyongyang.

Facing the city of Pyongyang, which did not make any sound in front of him, more than a dozen subordinates. It was as if it had been discussed, and at the same time his eyes converged on Ren Zu. At the same time, a North Korean veteran asked directly.

"Your Majesty, do you want to launch an attack on Pyongyang City right away...... The morale of the soldiers is very high right now, and if you attack now, you will definitely achieve unexpected results......"

Ren Zu replied with a look of approval: "The old general is right, now is indeed the best time for us to attack......

After saying this, the smile on Ren Zu's face. It was directly replaced by Yan Sù.

After glancing at each subordinate with his own pair of clever eyes, he said decisively.

"Generals. Although the city has an internal response to cooperate with us. However, until the critical moment, this internal should definitely not be dispatched. After all, no matter how much you should have, you can only use it once...... Therefore, in order to cooperate with Nai Ying and give Nai Ying an opportunity, after the offensive begins, the besieging forces must launch an all-out attack on Pyongyang without counting casualties. Only then will we be able to draw the eyes and attention of the defenders to us......"

In the face of Ren Zu's reasoned order, all the subordinates did not hesitate at all, and directly opened their mouths to guarantee: "Please rest assured, without the king's order, the last general will definitely not take a step back......

Perhaps everyone was full of expectations for Ren Zu's inner receptiveness, and after the battle began, the more than 10,000 North Korean troops who launched the first round of attacks were as if they had been beaten with blood, and they launched an attack on Pyongyang desperately.

Facing the Korean army that was overwhelmingly flocking to the city wall outside the city, Zhao Yun, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, had a calm expression on his face from beginning to end.

Just when the dense North Korean troops rushed all the way to the range of the Haw Par Army muskets, the commanders of several divisions standing on the side were about to be overwhelmed. Zhao Yun finally spoke.

"Order, all musketeers, strike back at once......"

When the order was given, the musketeers, who had long been unable to wait, did not hesitate to pull the trigger after only a short aim.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire began to ring out in the city.

Of course, the North Korean army, which rushed to the front, also threw itself forward and fell to the ground at this moment, like dumplings.

However, the death of these people on the battlefield did not stop the North Korean army's charge.

The more than 10,000 soldiers who received the order of Ren Zu's death continued to attack as if they did not see the corpses of their comrades-in-arms under their feet.

So, there was such a scene on the battlefield.

The North Korean troops, who launched an attack on the city wall, were swept to the ground by lead bullets. However, because they were not afraid of death, their defense line still advanced towards the city wall step by step. It's just that the ground where these North Korean troops went was almost covered with a whole layer of corpses.

At this time, standing beside Zhao Yun, the division commander, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because of the order to shoot, frowned again.

Of course, a hint of anxious expression from the heart also appeared on the face of the division commander.

After taking a deep breath, he mustered up the courage to ask Zhao Yun, who was silent beside him.

"Commander, let the North Korean army continue to charge, and they can shoot arrows at the top of the city...... Do you want to order the artillery to open fire, give them a few salvos first, and give them a back momentum......"

For this seemingly very wise order, Zhao Yun refused without thinking about it.

"No, it's not time to ...... yet"

"No matter how fierce the enemy's attack is, it is their first attack. If in the first round of the attack, we have exposed all our strength, then we will not directly scare the North Korean army away, and we will not dare to continue the siege of the city......"

"So, this round of counterattack, we can only use muskets to ......"

"Only by giving the North Koreans hope of taking Pyongyang will they launch a second or even a third attack. Only by making these North Korean troops crazy can we eliminate more North Korean ......"

Hearing this, the division commander directly became silent.

After a short period of contemplation, he said to himself, "If you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy, Commander, I understand." I'll give you an order to prepare your soldiers to defend against the arrows......"

Zhao Yun nodded, and then reminded: "In addition to arrows, we must also pay attention to defensive shells, and the North Korean army has already pushed out their only dozens of Francophone artillery......

"If nothing else, the North Korean army outside the city is going to prepare desperately......"

The division commander's eyes lit up, and he commanded loudly: "Army commander,

Go and give the order right away......" (To be continued......
