Chapter 619: Clever Counterattack
"On the city wall, we have warriors on the city wall......" The main position of the North Korean army, an exclamation, suddenly came out of the mouth of a general beside Ren Zu.
When everyone looked at the city under the guidance of this general.
I happened to see the picture of seven or eight Korean soldiers climbing up the city wall along two ladders.
For a while, everyone, including Ren Zu, had a nervous expression on their faces.
Because, as long as these few warriors who climbed the city wall can open a breakthrough on the city wall, they will hold on for a short time. There will be a steady stream of officers and men of the Korean army who will climb the city wall, expand the breakthrough, and fight with the tiger and leopard army.
However, what they didn't expect was that the qiē they saw was a play played by the Haw Par Army for them.
Under their watchful eyes, seven or eight Korean troops with broadswords in their hands rushed towards the Tiger and Leopard Army, intending to strangle with the Tiger and Leopard Army, engage them at close range, and weaken the advantage of the Tiger and Leopard Army's firearms.
However, before they could get close to the Haw Par Army, they were stabbed into a hornet's nest by the bayonets inserted in the muzzle of the Haw Par Army.
Subsequently, several grenades emitting white smoke were thrown off the walls and landed around two ladders.
The grenade exploded, and both the North Korean troops who had gathered around the ladder and those who had already climbed the ladder were all blown to the ground without exception.
Faced with this ending, Ren Zu and the others' nervous faces immediately showed a regretful expression.
A general said directly: "It's just a little bit, if there are twice as many warriors going up, and there are long sought-after, the soldiers will definitely be able to occupy a breakthrough in the city wall......
Between words. On the battlefield in front of everyone's eyes. There were several more opportunities for the North Korean army to almost storm the city walls.
But. These opportunities are often extinguished at the last minute by the Haw Par Army.
At the same time, the Hawpar Army, which was holding on to the city walls, seemed to be slowly becoming chaotic as the battle continued, showing a lack of troops.
In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime good plan, several generals will certainly not let it go.
They all asked Ren Zu for his life. Join the battle with your own men and pluck the victory that seems to be in your hands.
Facing the invitation of his subordinates, Ren Zu was also moved. However, with only more than 10,000 troops on hand, Ren Zu became nervous and cautious.
Because, the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands are already the last troops of the Korean state.
So far, the Haw Par Army has not used their artillery.
If this is really as the old general said, it is a shocking conspiracy against himself. If you don't have any troops in your hands, you will completely lose the ability to fight against the Haw Par Army.
But. What if it's not a conspiracy?
That is the best chance for him to retake Pyongyang. Maybe if you lose it, you will never have it.
Thinking of this, Ren Zu's face directly showed an unprecedented tangled expression.
At this time, the old general, who seemed to see something on the side, suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, just in case, we can't send out all our limited troops, at least five thousand elite ...... left."
"Five thousand elites are not only our last reliance, but also a sharp knife to cooperate with the internal response after the attack fails. As for the rest of the troops, they can all be sent out to intensify the offensive. It's best to be able to storm the walls, and even if you can't attack the walls, you can further kill and damage the defenders and attract the attention of the defenders......"
Ren Zu's eyes lit up, and he replied very satisfied: "The old general is worthy of being my old general in North Korea, and this idea is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as Lao Chengmou Country." This king fully supports this idea, and does as the old general said......"
Soon, the 6,000 soldiers under Ren Zu's command were divided into four waves, flocking to the battlefield from four different directions.
On the city wall, which was almost completely covered by white gunsmoke, the castle tower, which was almost three feet high, floated above the thick gunpowder smoke like an attic in a fairyland.
And Zhao Yun and several division commanders stood on this city tower, condescending, looking at all the battlefields.
The 6,000 Korean troops had just rushed to the battlefield, and the commander of the 7th Division beside him, as if he had found some treasure, shouted with excitement on his face: "Move, commander, the North Korean army has moved." The king of Joseon has increased his troops to the battlefield again, at least five thousand men......"
Faced with this gratifying news, Zhao Yun's first sight was not the reinforcements of the Korean army, but the remaining troops around the king of Korea.
After reading it, a trace of helplessness from the heart directly appeared on Zhao Yun's face. After a long sigh, he said, "Now it seems that the king of Joseon is very cautious. It's all this time, and there are still five thousand elite ...... left by me."
"However, no matter how powerful the combat power is, it is impossible to make any big waves in front of more than 10,000 of us......
After speaking, Zhao Yun's body exuded a very strong murderous aura.
Facing his subordinates, who were already a little eager to try, he decisively ordered: "Order, concentrate all artillery and shell the follow-up troops of the North Korean army...... up a fire barrier at a distance of 150 paces from the wall...... With so many North Korean troops, no matter how you say it, you have to leave me more than half, otherwise, we will lose too much in this battle......"
More than 100 heavy artillery pieces, plus more than 200 mortars from two divisions, split into four and quickly aimed the muzzles of the black hole at a distance of 150 steps from the city wall.
With the order of the commander of the artillery regiment, the deafening roar of artillery, like thunder, sounded in the city of Pyongyang.
Then, the scream of shells across the sky rang out over the battlefield.
Hundreds of flowering shells, at a speed visible to the naked eye, crossed the city walls, crossed the battlefield of battle, and then, as if they had eyes, landed very accurately in the middle of the follow-up troops of the North Korean army.
The flowering bomb exploded, and a fireball mixed with black smoke quickly rose from the ground. And, of course, there were scorching waves of air and flowering projectile fragments that quickly swept around the area.
In the blink of an eye, no man's land appeared on the battlefield.
Compared with the lethality of a mortar in a square circle, a heavy artillery shell loaded with several times the amount of gunpowder can blow up a square area of two battles, or even three no-man's land, with just one shot.
Therefore, in this round of shelling, more than 400 Korean troops were directly killed on the battlefield in four directions.
Of course, this is only the first round of shelling by the Haw Par Army.
The North Korean troops, who were suddenly in shock because of the artillery attack, had not yet reacted, and the screams of the second round of flowering shells had already followed closely behind, sounding above their heads.
As the screams grew louder and louder, the powerful flowering bullets got closer and closer to them. (To be continued......)
