Chapter 613: Intrigue and Ambition

"Commander, do you already have a way...... As soon as the commander's words fell, the deputy head of the regiment opened his mouth to ask.

The regiment commander did not hesitate, and directly affirmed: "Since you are passively beaten in the city of Pyongyang, it is very likely that you will not be able to hold Pyongyang, and it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated." Then we will leave Pyongyang and take the initiative to prevent the main forces of the North Korean army from approaching Pyongyang......"

As soon as the regiment commander's words fell, several subordinates began to argue, some agreed, some opposed, anyway, no one could persuade them to sleep, it was very lively.

Faced with this situation, the regiment commander, who had already made a decision in his heart, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Shut up, it's so decided, take the initiative to attack, slow down the marching speed of the main force of the Korean army, and hold out until the arrival of the main force......

"One, two, two battalions, all the artillery of the whole regiment, plus the guard company, one man and two horses, I personally commanded and took the initiative to attack...... The other officers and men, under the command of the deputy regimental commander, remained in Pyongyang to continue to purge the remnants of the city and eliminate all hidden crises in Pyongyang. ”

The reason why the regiment commander was so confident and dared to take the initiative to attack with 1,000 troops slowed down the march speed of tens of thousands of Korean troops. A very important reason is that at a critical moment, he suddenly thought of a battle he had experienced in Shaanxi.

In that battle, the commander of the Haw Par Army, who is now the prince. In order to win a decisive battle, with less than 1,000 Haw Par musketeers, tens of thousands of Houjin Tieqi were dragged for a whole day.

In terms of combat effectiveness, tens of thousands of North Korean troops are certainly not comparable to the elite Houjin Iron Cavalry.

Since the marshal can delay tens of thousands of Jin Tieqi for a day, he can also delay tens of thousands of Korean troops for a day.

As for how to do it, there is no doubt about it. That is to continue to use the tactical tactics used by the commander at the beginning......

It is about 50 miles away from Pyongyang City in the mountains. An official road that is no wider than a battle. It's like a swimming dragon that can't be seen at a glance, lying across the mountains.

As for this official road, it is the only way for Pyongyang to lead to South Korea, and it is also the only way for the main force of the North Korean army to return to Pyongyang.

On a hill less than two hundred steps away from the official road, a group of soldiers of the Haw Par Army in fiery red uniforms, under the cover of the bushes around them, like hunters, quietly waited for something. As for their side. There was a mortar with the muzzle of the black hole raised high. Propellants, flowering shells, very neatly stacked next to the guns, just waiting to be loaded and fired......

Under their anxious waiting, there was finally a trace of noise on the quiet official road.

Subsequently, the Haw Par Army, which was hiding on the mountain, saw one after another North Korean soldiers, as if there was no end, appear on the official road.

Soon. A team of 1,000 people with the DPRK army as the vanguard has all come into everyone's field of vision. At the same time, it also entered the range of artillery fire of dozens of artillery pieces around him......

Facing the North Korean army, which was not prepared at all on the official road, an imperceptible sneer quickly flashed on the face of the artillery company commander. Then, like a hungry wolf smelling blood, a pair of eyes shot out two very hot gazes directly outward. Facing the subordinates around him who were also eager to try, he decisively opened his mouth and ordered......

"Brothers, get ready...... Ignition, fire. ”

In the blink of an eye when the order was given, a dull roar of artillery fire rang out in the small artillery position on the hill.

Subsequently, more than 20 flowering shells were pushed out of the barrel by the orange-red flames produced by the burning of gunpowder.

With a sharp whistling sound, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it flew into the sky and flew towards the official road......

At this moment, in the face of the sudden roar next to the official road, almost all the North Korean soldiers regarded these sounds as thunder. As if they had been discussed, they stopped at the same time, and looked in the direction from which the sound came, without the slightest warning.

However, as the screams got closer to them, so did the louder ones.

The faces of some North Korean soldiers slowly began to change.

Especially those soldiers who had seen the scene of the red-clothed cannon firing, their faces that were still calm just now, just like the weather, instantly turned pale.

Facing his colleagues who were still at a loss, he shouted: "Shelling, shelling, not thunder...... Hurry up and separate...... Someone attacked us with artillery ......"

Before the exclamations were finished, dozens of flowering shells had already appeared above their heads.

Landed, exploded......

As a series of explosions rang out, dozens of fireballs mixed with black smoke rose directly from the ground.

Although there are less than 10 flowering bullets that fall directly on the official road, these flowering bombs directly exert their power to the fullest on the unobstructed official road.

The flowering bomb exploded, and the formation of 1,000 members of the North Korean army, which stretched for hundreds of feet, directly fell to as many as 100 people.

Of course, the roaring explosion, in addition to bringing 100 casualties to the North Korean army, also brought them an unprecedented shock.

Because, more than eighty percent of the North Korean soldiers on the official road have never even heard of the flowering bomb.

In this case, when they were directly confronted with a large exploding flowering bomb, their first reaction was that they were not attacked, but punished by heaven with heavenly thunder.

Otherwise, how could there be such a powerful weapon in this world.

Therefore, after the explosion ended, he faced the colleagues who died tragically around him, and faced the explosion that still echoed in his ears. Some timid North Korean soldiers, while shocked, did not dodge the next possible flowering bombs, but knelt on the battlefield and prayed to God that the thunder would not hit them......

What the North Korean army did, without surprise, fell into the eyes of the artillery company commander.

In the face of the North Korean army's moves, the company commander's first reaction was to despise shì. After the disdain, he did not forget jì, an unprecedented fighter plane was placed in front of him, let him grasp it......

So, as soon as the explosion of the first round of flowering shells stopped, a new order roared out of the mouth of the company commander.

"Clear the chamber, cool the barrel, reload, and continue firing. I want to completely cripple the North Korean forwards, and make them feel scared and frightened when they see our Tiger and Leopard Army......"

Explosions rang out one after another, and the hit rate of the flowering shells became higher and higher......

Soon, the casualties of the North Korean army on the official road reached more than half. At this time, even a fool knows that he has been attacked.

As a result, the remaining North Korean troops were remnant, and fled directly in the direction of the main force behind them with fear and panic.

At the same time, Ren Zu, who heard the sound of artillery, did not know who the striker was attacking. However, still at the first time, the main forces were ordered to speed up the march and go to the point of engagement to see what was going on.

When he gathered the remnants of his army and hurried to the battlefield, the artillery bombardment of the Haw Par Army was over.

Of course, the thick gunpowder smoke covering the official road also dissipated. Hundreds of corpses and wounded of the Korean army were placed directly in front of Ren Zu......

"Who can sue the king, what the hell is going on......"

Under Ren Zu's eyes full of murderous eyes, the remnants of the striker who were lucky enough to escape the artillery fire quickly told the shelling process.

When Ren Zu heard that the cannonball could explode, he subconsciously let out an exclamation: "The red-coated cannon, only the red-coated cannon can fire flowering shells." It must be the Haw Par Army, who want to block us from returning to Pyongyang through guò shelling......"

Speaking of this, Ren Zu suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask a low-ranking officer......

"You mean, the Haw Par Army shelled your artillery position, just two hundred steps away on the top of the hill......"

"Yes, my lord, what the last general said is true, and he dare not have any falsehood...... All other soldiers can testify......"

Faced with this result, everyone thought that Ren Zu's face became more and more solemn.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the solemn expression on Ren Zu's face not only did not become thicker, but also disappeared completely.

Not only that, a smile full of mockery directly appeared on Dao Renzu's face.

Just when everyone showed a look full of puzzlement, Ren Zu suddenly spoke: "Soldiers, haven't you always complained that our North Korea is not equipped with red-coated artillery...... Now, the Haw Par Army has sent it directly to us, and there are dozens of doors. As long as we can take down these red-coated cannons and attack the Japanese in South Korea, we will no longer be our opponents......"

"Take down the red-coated cannon equipped by the Haw Par Army......" Hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that Ren Zu was whimsical.

In their eyes, the power of the red-coated cannons is so great, even if it is placed in front of them, the Haw Par Army will send heavy troops to protect them, and they will not give themselves the opportunity and possibility to seize these red-coated cannons at all.

However, Ren Zu's next sentence directly turned the impossible in everyone's hearts into a possibility......

"We all know that the redcoat cannon is powerful and very heavy...... Although the king did not know how the Haw Par Army carried the red-coated cannons up the mountain. However, the king can be sure that it will definitely be a very difficult thing for them to transport the red-coated cannon from the mountain. ”

"As long as we hurry up and take the hill as much as possible, the red-coated cannons that we haven't had time to transport away will become trophies for our Korean army......"

"As for the problem of the defenders that everyone is worried about, this king can definitely tell everyone that the defending force of the Tiger and Par Army on the red-coated cannon position is far less powerful than everyone imagined......"

"The forward forces of the Haw Par Army attacking Pyongyang have less than 3,000 men...... If you can use it to stop us, two thousand people will reach the sky. Coupled with the dense mountains and forests here, the Haw Par Army's musket advantage cannot be brought into play at all. Therefore, whether it is the right time, or the right place, or even the people, they are all on our side......"

"As long as the soldiers have courage and confidence, these red-coated cannons are ours...... The king ordered that the first soldier to attack the artillery position of the Tiger and Leopard Army be promoted to three levels in a row and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver......"
