With the powerful hole card of artillery in hand, the more than 10,000 elite tigers and leopards of the army, who were not afraid of exposing their targets, drove directly to the front line of the Yalu River and confronted the North Korean troops defending Sinuiju on the other side of the Yalu River......

Although the Korean army here did not really fight the Haw Par Army, the remnants of the soldiers who had fled back from Liaodong still described the power of the Haw Par Army muskets in words......

Since the Haw Par musket is very powerful and has a long range.

Then, if the 8,000 defenders are placed on the bank of the river without any defense, almost unobstructed, it is to expose the soldiers under their command directly to the muzzles of the Haw Par muskets, and let the soldiers under their command be sent to death......

In order to prevent this from happening, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, who thought he was very shrewd, directly narrowed the defensive line and concentrated all the 8,000 soldiers in Sinuiju City, which the tiger and leopard army had to pass......

In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, Sinuiju is a military fortress no matter what, and there are walls to block the lead bullets fired by the Haw Par Army, so as to protect himself from the direct exposure of his soldiers to the guns of the Haw Par Army......

The officers and men under their command can rely on the strong city defense of Sinuiju to condescendingly attack the Tiger and Leopard Army, and try to narrow the huge gap between the two armies caused by weapons and equipment......

If you do not take into account artillery and explosives packages, this decision of the North Korean army is absolutely optimal.

Without artillery and explosives, if the Haw Par Army wants to take Sinuiju, they must get close to the walls of Sinuiju and climb the walls through the guò ladder!

In this case, the range advantage of the Haw Par Musket will disappear......

However, located on the defensive of the North Korean army. But it has a variety of advantages......

Stand on the city walls. Face the Haw Par Army close at your feet. A stone can become the best weapon for the North Korean army......

However, what the North Korean army did not expect was that the Haw Par Army was not only equipped with powerful muskets, but also powerful artillery......

After Zhao Yun decided to raze Sinuiju to the ground with artillery, the Lord General's seemingly very rational and correct decision accelerated the speed of their annihilation......

Because of the layout of the North Korean army, coupled with the fact that Zhao Yun has enough merchant ships to move......

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Haw Par Army. It only took half a day to march to the city of Sinuiju......

In the face of the surging Haw Par Army, the chief general of the North Korean Army standing on the wall of Sinuiju was confident that with his 8,000 soldiers, he could block the Haw Par Army, which had a total strength of less than 15,000.

However, cautious, he still sent Pyongyang the news that the Haw Par Army had begun to attack North Korea......

However, what puzzled him was that the Haw Par Army, which had already arrived at the city of Sinuiju, did not immediately attack......

And that's not all. The Haw Par Army, which did not even have the slightest tentative attack, directly advanced the battle line to a position less than two hundred paces from the city wall...... And under the watchful eye of thousands of North Korean troops. erecting a mortar that the North Korean army has never seen before......

"Bastard, the Ming Dynasty people outside the city are so arrogant that they even set up artillery positions under our noses...... However, they also underestimate our North Korean army too much, do they think that by firing some iron lumps at us, they can destroy us...... It's a joke...... Today, Ben will definitely make these Ming Dynasty people pay the price for their arrogance......" Facing the picture in front of him, the North Korean military commander had a very humiliated feeling, clenched his fists, and muttered to himself with a face full of anger......

As soon as the words fell, the adjutant general standing beside him said: "The two armies, the Ming Dynasty people have artillery, and we also have artillery...... Do you want to order the dozen or so guns of the artillery team to replace them with solid shells, and give two rounds to the Ming people outside the city, so that they can know the strength of our Korean army. ”

For this mention, although the angry master was very moved, the reason in his heart directly allowed him to suppress this impulse!

After some contemplation, he directly refused: "No, if you change to solid shells, although more than a dozen artillery pieces can shoot shells into the Tiger and Leopard Army formation...... However, with the limited power of solid shells, not only could they not cause much damage to the Haw Par Army, but on the contrary, they also exposed our strength, and the gains outweighed the losses......"

"These dozen or so artillery pieces were originally specially used to deal with the attacking forces of the Haw Par Army...... As long as the Haw Par Army rushes to a distance of fifty paces outside the city, they will fire on me......"

"Based on the calculation of 200 lead bullets for one cannon, more than 10 guns are almost 3,000 lead bullets......"

"Three thousand buckshot bullets were fired at the same time, no matter how powerful the tiger and leopard army was, it would suffer heavy losses...... So, our artillery can only fire shotshots......"

Although the deputy general was very unwilling, in the face of the facts, he had to nod his head in recognition......

As a result, the thousands of Korean troops on the walls of Sinuiju were anxiously waiting in a depressing atmosphere, waiting for the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army to start early......

After an episode, an artillery position densely packed with artillery appeared directly in front of the North Korean army.

Facing the artillery position in front of him, which numbered more than 300 artillery, the angry expression on the face of the North Korean army commander was directly covered with shock......

While gasping, he couldn't help but exclaim......

"How can there be so many artillery...... What do the Haw Par Army want to do......"

The adjutant general next to him was also taken aback by the Haw Par Army's generosity...... Because, the number of artillery in front of us has exceeded the number of all the artillery pieces of North Korea. Although I don't know how powerful these cannons are in front of me, since the Haw Par Army has deployed them, it proves that these cannons can shoot shells into Sinuiju City......

At this time, the deputy general had already begun to imagine what kind of tragic picture Sinuiju City under his feet would become after being attacked by more than 300 iron lumps at the same time......

I don't want to know, I want to be scared......

In the mind of the adjutant general, after being hit by artillery fire, the wooden houses along the line of the city wall in Sinuiju must have been smashed to pieces by the rain of iron lumps falling from the sky...... As for the soldiers hiding in these houses, even if they are not directly hit by the iron bumps, they will be buried by the smashed wooden houses......

Therefore, in just the blink of an eye, the expression on the adjutant general's face was covered with a trace of unprecedented solemnity......

In front of the main general, he immediately said what he thought in his heart......

After speaking, the face of the main general became solemn, and then, very decisively, ordered......

"What are you doing then, except for the soldiers who defend the city wall, the rest of the soldiers are all away from the city wall to avoid being hit by the artillery of the Tiger and Leopard Army and pay unnecessary casualties......

As soon as the dense North Korean army left the city wall, a dense roar began to sound in the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Then, the sharp whistling sound of flowering bullets across the sky began to sound on the battlefield......

The artillery strike of the Haw Par Army began! In the face of the artillery shells that quickly flew towards him, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean army became more relaxed, and his solemn face also showed an expression of the rest of his life......

In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, after he withdrew most of the soldiers within the city wall, the artillery attack of the Haw Par Army would definitely not bring much damage to the soldiers under his command......

Because of the use of black powder, the flight speed of the shells was very slow......

The eyes of the commander-in-chief of the North Korean army almost followed these flowering shells until these shells smashed on the city wall......

Just when the main general stared at a pair of eyes, waiting for these shells to bounce off the ground to see how powerful these shells were...... The accident appeared in front of him again.

The cannonball that landed on the ground did not bounce off the momentum, but suddenly burst open, and a fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke took off......

At the moment when the fireball rose, an even more violent explosion had reached the ears of the main general as promised......

In addition, the Lord General clearly saw that the moment the fireball rose up, it was closest to the fireball, and the few soldiers who were enveloped by the fireball didn't even have a chance to react, they were directly overturned to the ground, and their anger was unknown......

Most of the officers and men of the North Korean army did not know about the flowering bomb, but the chief general who had been to the Ming Dynasty not only knew the flowering bomb, but also saw the specific power of the flowering bomb with his own eyes......

Therefore, when the explosions kept ringing on the city wall, the main general, who was shocked, had already let out an exclamation again......

"Flowering bombs, the Tiger and Par Army shot out flowering bullets...... How is it possible, isn't it possible that flowering shells can only be fired by redcoat cannons? Why can such a small artillery of the Haw Par Army fire artillery......"

At the moment when the Lord General exclaimed, more than 300 flowering bombs had all landed......

Except for less than fifty flowering bombs that fell on the bare city walls, the remaining more than two hundred, all of which fell inside the city......

As far as the eye can see, the city wall, which has been attacked by more than 50 flowering shells, has been covered with black smoke from the explosion of flowering shells......

Although it is not clear what the specific losses are, with the Lord's understanding of the flowering shells, this loss is definitely not low......

And just when the main general had not yet reacted from the shock, an exclamation full of horror suddenly came out of the mouth of the adjutant general beside him......

"Fire, fire...... General, the Haw Par Army's artillery strike set the house on fire......"

Stunned, the lord's gaze shifted to the first line of the city wall, the area that was also attacked......

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it......

Under the effect of the flames generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb, the logs used by the North Koreans to build their houses burned directly as if dry wood had touched a raging fire......

What's more, because the logs used to build the houses have dried out, and what started out as a few fires turned into a raging fire in the blink of an eye, and quickly spread into the city......

As the general of Sinuiju, the main general is very aware of the weakness of Sinuiju that is afraid of fire, so the main general is not unprepared......

On the front line of the city wall, the main general has already prepared a large amount of sand and water to extinguish the fire......

Therefore, the main general, who was still in shock, opened his mouth and ordered without thinking about it......

"Put out the fire, let people put out the fire immediately...... The fire must not be allowed to spread...... The defenders of the city wall immediately evacuated the city wall, and after the artillery attack was over, they went up to the city wall to defend. (To be continued......)
