At this moment, the judgment of the Korean monarchs and ministers on the combat effectiveness and fighting methods of the Tiger and Leopard Army is still stuck in their own impressions of the Ming Dynasty court......

What they didn't expect was that with the massive deployment of muskets with the Haw Par Army, the siege method of the Haw Par Army had already undergone earth-shaking changes...... The more than 2,000 tiger and leopard troops in front of them, although they did not carry siege equipment...... However, the siege battle they are about to launch does not require any primitive siege equipment......

Therefore, when the Korean monarchs and ministers relaxed a little and regained some confidence in holding Pyongyang......

More than 2,000 musketeers, who had already rushed two hundred paces outside the city, jumped directly off their horses.

At the same time, dozens of mortars on horseback were quickly carried down and began to be assembled.

Under the increasingly shocked gaze of the North Koreans, more than 2,000 Haw Par musketeers were ready to storm the city.

In the open space outside the city, the first to attack, without surprise, were dozens of mortars of different calibers.

With gusts of gunpowder smoke rising from the artillery positions of the Tiger and Par Army, the roaring sound of artillery and the screaming of shells across the sky...... It was like a battle march, which quickly sounded on the battlefield......

More than 20 flowering shells, under the gaze of all North Koreans, flew at a speed visible to the naked eye, whizzed down, and smashed directly into and near the city wall.

In the eyes of these North Koreans, the shotgun will definitely bounce after it lands, and the process of constantly bouncing up will cause damage to themselves.

However, these Korean monarchs and ministers are outdated.

Under the gaze of a pair of shocked eyes, the cannonball that landed did not bounce, but at the moment of landing. Explosion occurred directly.

With the sound of explosions. A fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke. Soar straight into the air from the ground.

The smoke of gunpowder, which was also mixed with a large number of fragments of flowering bullets, also quickly formed a circle of steel storms at the impact point, and quickly swept around.

The Korean monarchs and ministers, who were also standing on the city walls, saw it clearly......

After the explosion of the flowering bomb, there was not a single North Korean soldier in sight within a radius of one zhang centered on the point of impact.

Of course, shock is shock. They have not forgotten where they are now......

After a short period of shock, a happy expression for the rest of the catastrophe appeared on everyone's faces.

Subsequently, regardless of the morale of the defenders and the dignity of the ministers, he rushed down the city wall directly under the protection of the guards......

On the chaotic city wall, what the minister did was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading.

North Korean soldiers who were already full of fear of the Tiger and Leopard Army's flowering bombs. Seeing that the ministers had fled, they were thinking of saving their lives. Of course, they will not continue to stay here and die, waiting for the Haw Par Army to blow themselves up with artillery shells......

When the few defending officers who were still holding on to the city wall reacted from the shock caused by the flowering bullets, the few defenders on the city wall had already run almost half of them......

If it weren't for them in the chaos, they would have hacked a few deserters to death as a warning. The already small number of defenders may simply flee completely.

Of course, the changes that took place on the city walls were not known to the Haw Par Army, which was preparing for the siege.

On a scorching artillery position, hundreds of gunners only knew one thing, and that was to launch a hundred flowering shells onto the walls of Pyongyang at the fastest speed, bringing maximum damage to the North Korean defenders......

In the blink of an eye, a hundred bullets are exhausted. As for the result of this hundred bullets, that is, with the city gate as the center, the city walls within a range of dozens of zhang on both sides were all shrouded in gunsmoke.

"When will we not attack at this time...... Demoman, Offense...... All the musketeers of the first battalion, cover the attacking ......" the commander of the forward regiment, with a burning face, ordered loudly.

As the sound of gunfire like popping beans rang out in front of the formation, dozens of demomen holding explosive bags rushed out of the position. Before the Korean defenders could react, they approached the city wall as fast as they could......

As for the city wall that was shrouded in gunpowder smoke at the moment, half of the defenders ran directly, less than two hundred people. After the shelling just now, there are not even a hundred people.

When they saw the tiger and leopard army rapidly approaching the city wall, they poked out half of their bodies from the city, ready to counterattack. The dense buckshot that roared from the front knocked them directly to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers with blood on their chests fell on the city wall, dead and wounded, very tragic.

In the face of such a close death, the Korean defenders, who were lucky not to be hit by lead bullets, subconsciously retracted from the city and retracted their bodies.

No matter what the defending officers ordered, they refused to stand up again and used their bodies as targets for the Haw Par Army.

When there was really no way, these North Korean defenders squatted directly behind the city stomp and threw arrows outside the city.

As for the artillerymen, they did not aim either, but simply lit the fire rope and fired a full load of scattered projectiles into the open space where there was not a single Haw Par Army......

Under such circumstances, dozens of demomen, not even ten casualties, rushed into the city gate.

Pile up the explosives bag and light the arquebus...... Dozens of Demomen, like frightened rabbits, spread their legs and rushed out of the city gate.

When they finally rushed to a distance of thirty paces from the city gate, a violent explosion sounded directly in the city gate hole.

Then, thick gunpowder smoke poured out from both sides of the city gate.

Although a few hundred catties of black powder can't blow up the entire city tower, it is still easy to tear open the heavy city gate.

Therefore, the thick smoke that enveloped the city gate had not yet dissipated, and a battalion of more than 400 musketeers, like wild horses on the loose, roared and rushed to the city gate, intending to break into the city in one fell swoop.

The officers of the defenders defending the city walls were not surprised by the explosion from under their feet.

Before he could react from the shock, a cry full of horror sounded directly in the city gate cave.

Because the Haw Par Army came so fast, the Korean defenders did not have time to block the entire city gate.

In this case, in order to ensure the foolproof protection of the city gate, the guard directly placed about fifty soldiers in the city gate hole.

When the Haw Par Army was on the side of the city gate, the other party's explosives were packed, and these fifty soldiers were without exception. All crowded on the other side of the gate.

So. The explosion of hundreds of pounds of black powder. Not only did he tear open the heavy city gate, but he also took away the lives of at least thirty North Korean soldiers on the other side of the city gate.

Facing the city gate that had been opened, in addition to being shocked, those North Korean soldiers who were lucky not to be killed by the explosion directly sent a warning to the city wall guards with exclamations.

Just when the guards were in fear, they hurriedly transferred their troops. When you are ready to block the city gates.

Hundreds of armed muskets of the Haw Par Army had rushed to a position less than fifty paces from the city gate.

When they saw the North Korean defenders' every move in Semongdong, these Tiger and Leopard soldiers did not hesitate to raise their muskets and pull the trigger at Semongdong.

As a result, more than 100 lead bullets directly formed an impenetrable steel storm in the city gate hole, sweeping towards the defenders who also flocked to the city gate hole.

After a heart-rending scream sounded in the city gate, the dozen or so North Korean soldiers who rushed to the front did not even have time to react. was beaten into a hornet's nest covered in blood by lead bullets, and then. With reluctance and despair, he fell heavily to the ground.

The first round of gunfire had just been fired, followed by the second round of gunfire and again on the battlefield......

More than 100 officers and men of the Korean army from inside the city lost more than 40 people before they could storm the city gate.

What's more, as the gunfire rang out on the battlefield one after another, the remaining North Korean troops had no way to rush into the city gate and block the Haw Par Army, which was getting closer and closer to them.

Because, as long as they get close to the city gate, the whistling buckshot will beat them into a hornet's nest.

Just when the North Korean army was still hovering in the city gate hole, there was no way to advance or retreat. Hundreds of Haw-Par musketeers had already rushed through the last fifty paces.

Facing the city gate that was close at hand, facing the dozens of defenders who had no way to advance or retreat in the city.

The bombardier, interspersed with the musketeers, quickly threw more than a hundred smoke-emitting grenades.

The grenade exploded, whether it was the city gate hole or the area of a dozen steps around the city gate hole, there was no longer a single defender in sight.

Hundreds of musketeers did not miss this opportunity, and despite the smoke that still shrouded in the city gate cave, they rushed directly into the city gate cave and poured into Pyongyang.

After the deafening shouts of "kill the ......" sounded in Pyongyang, more and more Haw Par troops began to pour into Pyongyang and kill all positions in the city.

Facing the bright bayonet held in the hands of the Haw Par Army, and facing a large piece of grenades when it explodes.

The North Korean defenders who stood in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army didn't even have the heart to resist......

With a pale face, like a frightened rabbit, he spread his legs and ran towards the city.

What's more, while fleeing for their lives, they lost their weapons and took off their uniforms...... Taking advantage of the fact that no one around him paid attention to him, he disappeared directly into the streets and alleys of Pyongyang City, and turned into an ordinary person.

As time passed, the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions in Pyongyang became weaker and weaker.

No, it should have been from the moment the Haw Par Army entered the city, and the Korean troops scattered in Pyongyang no longer resisted. The reason why the gunfire continued was because the Haw Par Army continued to shoot and kill bandits and ruffians in the streets and alleys......

As for those North Korean troops who gave up resistance, they either directly became prisoners of the Haw Par Army, or took off their military uniforms and became ordinary people......

As a result, after the Haw Par Army completely occupied the outer city of Pyongyang, the 4,000 Korean defenders defending the outer city were killed in direct battle, and only 1,800 were actually captured. As for the remaining 1,500 people, they all disappeared completely......

As for these people who disappeared, it is not surprising that all of them have become ordinary people in Pyongyang......

Looking at the slight chaos in front of you, however, the prosperous Cheng dù has reached Pyongyang, the provincial capital of the country.

Yan Sù, the head of the forward regiment, finally showed a smile on his face.

Looking at the inner city of Pyongyang, where there were still 2,000 defenders a few hundred paces away, that is, the Joseon Palace, the regiment commander commanded very decisively.

"Soldiers, Pyongyang has trampled under our feet, as long as we take the inner city, we can fully occupy Pyongyang...... So, I ordered......"

"The first battalion will continue to clear the remnants of the enemy in the outer city of Pyongyang and ensure the stability of the outer city of Pyongyang. At the same time, all gates of Pyongyang are closed, and no one can enter or leave, otherwise, there will be no mercy... The other soldiers, in a company, quickly surrounded the inner city...... In addition, find a Korean minister to come over, persuade him to surrender first, and then attack ...... If you can attack and take the inner city, it is the best result......" (To be continued......
