Chapter 638: The North and the South Advance and Destroy Korea

At this time, the coastline of Korea was completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

However, for the Korean kingdom, which was still in a small-scale peasant economy and did not have a strong concept of maritime interests, they did not realize how dangerous this was to be.

However, in order to avoid being discovered by the North Korea, the marines of Guganra Island, the Daming naval base, should have taken a merchant ship to the port of Gyeongju to avoid being discovered by the North and prompting them to transfer a large number of troops concentrated in the north to the south.

Gyeongju Port is the Daming concession area, and today's Gyeongju Port is no different from Daming China.

The gardens of Gangnam, the courtyard houses of Gyeonggi, the gray-brick and white-walled warehouses, the rows of factories and the clanging horse-drawn carriages and bicycles on the streets, and the statue of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty standing in the center of the tallest building in the concession all show the absolute rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Gou Qingquan, the deputy general of the Marine Corps at the naval base, entered Gyeongju Port with 20,000 Ming troops, and 30,000 Korean soldiers had also arrived at Gyeongju Port at this time.

Song Shounian, the deputy general of the Korean army, did not know that the Ming army had been stationed in Gyeongju Port at this time, so he ordered his officers and soldiers to rush directly towards Gyeongju Port.

At this time, the port of Gyeongju had been fenced off by the Ming army with an iron fence.

A fence is a fence made of barbed wire and wooden sticks.

Ten paces away from the inside of the iron fence were sandbag bunkers set up by the Ming army in the streets, and the Ming army was all armed with rifles or hand-cranked machine guns.

When the North Korean soldiers rushed in, the Ming army shouted through the iron fence: "This is the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, if you come to do business, immediately lay down your weapons, we will let you in, if you dare to jump over this iron fence, we will not be polite!" ”

Song Shounian, the deputy general of the North Korean army, was shocked when he saw that the whole Ming army was in front of him, but he did not immediately order a retreat, but also sent someone over and shouted: "You Han people, listen, now we in North Korea want to take back Gyeongju, and persuade us to leave all the industries and choose to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise we will treat them as enemies!" ”

"Gyeongju is already my Ming territory, and it is too arrogant to want to take back my Ming industry's property here, we don't agree!"

Gou Qingquan, the deputy general of the Ming army, also replied, and took the initiative to give an order: "No matter what these North Korean officers and soldiers say, from now on, as long as these North Korean soldiers dare to fire the first shot and the first artillery, we will immediately annihilate the North Korean army in front of us." ”

At this time, North Korean adjutant general Song Shounian was not willing to give up Gyeongju Port easily, so he decisively picked up a flintlock pistol and fired a shot at Daming in the bunker, but he had just pulled the trigger, and the Ming army sniper in a high-rise building in Gyeongju Port had already pulled the rifled gun first.

When Song Shounian's gun just hit the sandbag, North Korean adjutant Song Shounian's brain was also shot, and he directly had a sharp pain in his brain, and then looked up in the direction where the gun rang out just now: "This, this, why is it so fast?" ”

After speaking, the deputy general of the North Korean army, Song Shounian, fell to the ground, and the other North Korean soldiers were directly frightened and stayed in place, at a loss, at this time, the officers and men of the Guards Marine Corps in the ground bunker had already begun to attack, and the dense firepower swept at a large number of North Korean troops in front of them.

The North Korean soldiers were shot down in large numbers on the spot, and fell outside the iron fence in batches, and some of the North Korean soldiers who came back to their senses were so frightened that they ran away on the spot, spreading their feet and running, they were already a little overwhelmed because the commander had been killed, and now they saw that there were already a large number of officers and soldiers killed and wounded on their side, and they were even more courageless.

On the side of the Ming army, Deputy General Gou Qingquan couldn't help but say helplessly: "These North Korean soldiers are just running farther than anyone else at the beginning, open the iron fence, rush out, and from now on, expand the concession area for Gyeongju Port!" Until it hits the city of Pyongyang! ”

So, within half an hour, the Ming army immediately rushed out of the port of Gyeongju and attacked directly in the direction of Gyeongju Fucheng, waiting for the Ming army to appear in Gyeongju Fucheng, the Korean defenders of Gyeongju Fucheng had already known the news of the defeat of the Korean army on their side and had blocked the city gate.

But the city gate for the Ming army has been unable to stop their pace, not to mention that it is only an earthen city wall with bread bricks, after the intensive bombardment of the Ming army, the city wall was directly blown down, and the Korean guards also knelt in the palace in a proper manner, surrendering to the Ming army.

The Ming army thus successfully occupied Gyeongju and continued to march in the direction of Daegu, and successfully occupied Daegu five days later, and at this time the Korean soldiers in Busan still had 20,000 sailors stationed, but the Korean navy was a navy after all, and even the Korean army could not block the Ming marines, not to mention the Korean navy, so the 20,000 Korean sailors had to retreat without a fight, so that the Ming army successfully occupied Busan.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty got the opportunity to land the main force of the navy in Korea, and 50,000 naval officers and sailors landed in Pusan half a month later, and quickly entered the coastline west into Naju, and then went all the way north to capture Chunchang, Namwon and other cities.

The 20,000 Ming marines who had landed in advance from Guqianluo were heading north along the Nakdong River at this time, and had already occupied Andong City, approaching Dizhou.

The Ming army has now shown a trend of advancing north and south of Korea, and it is a four-way army marching together, and at this time the king of Korea Li Hao is still immersed in his dream of owning the land of Liaodong, until this day, he just came out of his daughter-in-law's room with satisfaction, and when he returned to the front hall, he saw his minister running over:

"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, the Ming army sent 300,000 troops to attack, 20,000 iron cavalry harassed my northern border, General Li Ze and 120,000 Korean soldiers were wiped out under the city of Yizhou, and now the Ming army has entered Xichuan and Xianxing, the situation is very critical!"

As if he had been slapped heavily, the king of North Korea, Li Hao, was stunned for a long time, and even directly had a temporary amnesia, and asked the North Korean official in front of him: "What did you just say, what is the critical situation?" ”

"Your Highness! Let's hurry up and hunt Hancheng in the south, the Ming army suddenly dispatched 300,000, and now it has reached Xichuan, it will be too late if we don't retreat! ”

The North Korean official knelt down and cried.

"How could it be! We have more than 600,000 troops in the north, and we have built hundreds of miles of walls and hundreds of castles, how did we reach Xichuan so quickly, what news did you spread before, didn't it mean that Li Ze's army had already conquered Jiulian City, Tielingwei and Kangzhouwei were just around the corner, answer Gu, why did it suddenly become like this! ”

The king of Joseon, Yi Hao, roared angrily.

"Your Highness, it's too late to say this, let's hurry up."

The North Korean official cried.

"Withdraw, withdraw! Withdraw, I knew that it was the result now, why did I want to provoke Daming", the Korean king Li Hao wanted to cry without tears, and at this time, another Korean official ran over: "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, a large number of Ming troops have appeared in the south, and they have already reached Zhongzhou, I am afraid that they will soon be along the Han River to defeat Hancheng!" ”
