243 Panic is like a lost dog

But how is this possible?

So soon the Ming army broke through the city gate? Didn't you say that Kaesong is a strong city?

In the world, throughout the ages, who has ever heard of a city that is so easy to break?

It's impossible!

Wang Yu thought so, and emotionally couldn't accept the more rational conclusion!

At this time, I saw his important minister Li Renren running in in a panic, the official hat didn't know where to go, a little disheveled, if he wasn't familiar enough, he really wouldn't recognize him.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has invaded the city, and it will be too late if you don't leave!"

Behind him, another favored minister, Lin Jianwei, also ran in in a panic and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is coming to the palace, run!" ”

Wang Yu listened a little dispossessed, and asked in a panic: "Where is Cui Qing, where is Cui Qing?" ”

When Li Renyi heard that the king was still thinking about Cui Ying, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, it is Cui Ying who has misled the country!" Weichen had long suggested that the king move on a safari, but he wanted to go against the tune, and now he is even more trapped under the dangerous wall, damn it, damn it! ”

When he said this, he didn't mention that he had changed his mind at all.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this time, the roar of artillery was heard again in the distance. And listening to this movement, it seems that there are several directions.

"Kill ......"

The faint shouting of killing has become clearer and clearer. Basically, you can hear that they are probably coming to the palace.

Wang Yu heard it, trembling with the sound of shelling. At this time, he didn't care about decency, and he didn't care if the armor on his body was put on or not, so he ran out in a hurry, and shouted at the same time: "Escort, escort......"

Li Renren and Lin Jianwei listened, and hurriedly followed, and shouted loudly: "Escort, escort......"

Inside and outside the palace, headless flies can be seen everywhere. Those palace maids, chamberlains, and even guards are all at a loss.

For them, the experience of being attacked by a foreign enemy all of a sudden is really something they have never experienced before.

In fact, not to mention them, the entire people of Kaesong, from the king of Goryeo to the peddlers and pawns, have never had such an experience, and for a while, they are naturally confused.

"Kill ......"

On the side of Chongrenmen, it is already the Ming army.

As soon as the sailors arrived at Kaesong, based on the previous drills in Tianjin, the army disembarked and began to attack, which did not cause much chaos.

Regarding the plan to attack the city, Zhu Di, Ma Yun and others, King Yan, have discussed it on the way to the city, I don't know how many times. The deployment of the operation is even more specific to the level of the general flag.

In addition to the 20,000 troops participating in the attack, Zhu Di also ordered 10,000 horses from the sailors to follow the attack on Kaicheng.

He, the sailor, had been carrying him for the past few years. Its backbone is the 500 people selected from the guards of the Son of Heaven during the competition in Nanjing.

To say that the most skilled mandarin duck formation in the Ming army, the earliest to apply to warfare belongs to this water division.

Therefore, the 10,000 infantry troops selected from this naval division will definitely not be weaker than the army.

The soldiers of the Ming army immediately transported the bombardment cannons from the ship, and when the Goryeo soldiers were still in a panic, they aimed at the city gate for a burst of bombardment.

The thick wooden door wrapped in iron sheet is indeed strong enough for offensive and defensive warfare in the era of cold weapons in theory.

However, no matter how strong it was, it could not stop the bombardment of the bombardment artillery, and it was destroyed in a few shots.

Just as the Ming army attacked Shenyang City on the Liaodong side, the explosive bag was also thrown on the head of the city by small catapults when the bombardment cannon bombarded the city gate.

The city gate was blasted open, and the Goryeo defenders were shocked, and just mobilized the defenders at the head of the city to strengthen the defense of the city gate, but they suffered a baptism of explosives.

After another burst of "boom, boom" explosives exploded, the city gate, even if there were uninjured Goryeo soldiers, they were so frightened that they fled, and they dared to resist here!

Muskets and artillery are not only lethal, but also have the collateral effect of intimidating the enemy. Especially in the face of the kind of army that is not strictly disciplined, after encountering an unexpectedly powerful firearm for the first time, the collateral effect of this deterrence of the enemy is even better!

How good is it?

On the Chongren Gate side of Kaesong, after being baptized by the Ming army's bombardment cannons and explosives bags, the Ming army captured the city with almost no effort.

Subsequently, the Ming army began to attack in separate ways in accordance with the pre-planned battle plan.

Some Ming troops expanded their gains from the city walls and attacked other city gates; Some Ming troops launched an attack on the Goryeo palace along the main road; Some of the Ming troops saw that there were Goryeo soldiers gathering, so they rushed there, not giving the Goryeo army a chance to regroup.

The vast majority of the officers and men of the Ming army attacked in the form of an attack of a mandarin duck formation.

For those Goryeo soldiers who lost their armor, as long as the Goryeo soldiers showed signs of stubborn resistance, they would not hesitate to kill.

When encountering a relatively large number of enemy troops, the soldiers of the Ming army carrying tiger squatting cannons on their backs went up to the front of the battle, and after a bombardment, the soldiers covered up and killed the past.

"Kill ......"

In Kaesong, there were shouts of killing everywhere. The Ming army wearing red mandarin duck robes spread in Kaesong like a stream of magma erupting from a volcano.

Here in Chongren Gate, the soldiers of the Ming army have three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are them everywhere.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had already ascended to the top of the city, and with excitement, he used the telescope invented by Zhang Yifan to observe the battle situation in the city.

From time to time, he would issue military orders, and then the follow-up troops outside the city and in the city would carry out his orders, and then go to the designated places to fight, raid, support, and so on.

"Kill ......"

In stark contrast to the shouting and killing of the Ming army, it is the crying father and mother of the Korean people.

In the morning, everything was still fine. All of a sudden, how come there are enemies everywhere?

I don't know if ordinary people have this kind of thought, even their famous Korean general Cui Ying is confused, and he can't understand everything he sees in front of him!

Since receiving the enemy's situation, he hurriedly made arrangements to defend the city as soon as possible, and felt that there was no problem, so he hurried to the palace to calm the people's hearts.

What he said to the king of Goryeo was not bragging, but he really thought so.

Since ancient times, the lone army has gone deep, and they are still thinking about attacking a fortified city, and the troops are still small, how can this be possible! It is not the previous Xiongnu, there is no city wall on the grassland, so it may be raided by the Han people.

This is Kaesong, and it is the first fortified fortress in Goryeo. The people of the Ming Kingdom have a sick brain, and they want to steal the city with a little force, is it possible!

As a result, I didn't expect Cui Ying to come out of the palace, and before she left the palace gate, she heard the sound of shelling, and then the sound of shouting and killing, and quickly went out to take a look, the Ming army actually attacked the city!

Seriously, when he heard the shouting of killing and saw the figure of the Ming army on the side of Chongren Gate appearing in the city, Cui Ying felt that it was unrealistic, and he thought that he was dazzled.

Anyway, he has also fought for many years, and even went to the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Ming Kingdom, Jianghuai, and he knows what the combat strength of the Ming army is.

In Cui Ying's cognition, it is impossible for the Ming army to defeat Kaesong no matter what, let alone enter Kaesong in such a short period of time. What is the difference between this and the original Huns who did not have a city wall on the steppe?

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!"

Cui Ying is a little crazy, he knows more about military affairs than Li Renren and them. It is precisely because he understands military affairs better that he feels that it is even more impossible!

At this moment, he was struck by the fact that the Ming army had entered the city so quickly, and he was stunned, not knowing how to face it.

All this in front of me is really too dreamy, is it in a dream, a nightmare?

"Kill ......"

As the Ming army entered the city and got closer and closer, Cui Ying finally came back to her senses at the urging of the guards.

However, he sadly found that at this time, the city was already full of Ming troops, and the Goryeo army had lost its formation, and he had nowhere to command the resistance even if he wanted to.

But it's a famous general in Goryeo, and he immediately remembered that the guards of the palace in the city are at least still organized, and the Ming army hasn't killed them yet, and they can still resist!

So he immediately returned to the palace.

As a result, as soon as Cui Ying rushed back to the palace gate, he saw the palace gate wide open, and his monarch, King Wang Yu of Goryeo, was about to flee the palace under the escort of a large number of guards.

"Your Majesty, you can't go!" When Cui Ying saw it, she hurriedly jumped up and exhorted loudly, "As soon as the king leaves, as soon as the morale of the army is dispersed, there will be no possibility of turning defeat into victory!" As long as it is stable and there are few Ming soldiers, we will win. ”

Before Wang Yu could speak, Li Renren, who was following Wang Yu, couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Open your eyes and see for yourself, can you still win?" Are you blind or do you want to kill the king? ”

Lin Jianwei on the other side of Wang Yu also complained: "You are the one who caused the king to be in danger, otherwise, the king would have left early!" ”

Cui Ying was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, so she rushed to the crown angrily, and shouted loudly: "As long as we stabilize our position and there are few Ming soldiers, we will definitely win." Otherwise, will you lose my capital of Goryeo to the Ming army? ”

When Wang Yu heard this, he finally spoke, and said to him with a somewhat ugly face: "You are alone in commanding the army of the whole city and destroying the Ming army!" ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Cui Ying and left in a hurry.

Li Renren, Lin Jianwei and others all followed behind Wang Yu and left in a hurry.

Other officials, chamberlains, palace maids, guards, etc., naturally fled with their king.

After just a while, at the palace gate, only Cui Ying and his guards were left.

The size of the palace gate makes Cui Ying and others even more small and lonely.

Cui Ying looked at this scene and suddenly despaired.

At this moment, there was another chaotic sound of footsteps in the palace, and it seemed that a large group of people had come out again.

Shocked by this voice, Cui Ying came back to her senses, and a glimmer of hope appeared on her face again. As long as there are people, the more and more people around them gather, and resist the Ming army's soldiers, then they can stabilize their positions.

At this moment, with the shout of "King, King", a group of people in the palace appeared. But there were a lot of concubines and their maids, and so on.

The king of Goryeo was in a hurry to run away and threw all his wives and children into the palace.

These women, big and small, don't know how many things they bring. In a hurry, there was a package that fell to the ground, mostly gold and silver jewelry, rouge gouache, silk and satin, and so on.

I picked up some in a hurry, and ran away in a hurry. In the end, only a piece of chicken feathers was left for Cui Ying.

"It's over, it's over, Kaesong is gone, and my Goryeo capital is going to fall......"

At this moment, Cui Ying's face was like ashes, like a mourning exam.

Eventually, it was his bodyguards who carried him and chased after their king's ass.

…………………………

On Wang Yu's side, when he was fleeing in a hurry, some of his subordinates ran to warn: "Your Majesty, there are few Ming troops on the side of Tai'an Gate, and it seems that there are only about 1,000 people, and they are far from Chongren Gate. ”

Li Ren on the side couldn't wait for Wang Yu's reply when he heard it, and immediately ordered: "Let's go, go to Tai'anmen!" ”

After finishing speaking, he also turned around and complained: "If it weren't for Cui Ying's stupid pig, we would have been out of the city a long time ago, and how could we be blocked in the city by the Ming army!" ”

The scale of thousands of people, in the chaotic streets, began to turn to Tai'an Gate. Although Wang Yu didn't show his flag, the other headless flies saw so many people going to one place, so they all subconsciously followed.

There are more and more people going to Tai'anmen together.

This situation was also noticed by the Ming soldiers who rushed to kill in the city, and several armies immediately began to pursue them.

Wang Yu and others finally arrived at Tai'an Gate, but found that the city gate was wide open, and there were a large number of corpses on the ground outside the city gate. More people are hiding in the city gates and dare not go out.

Seeing Wang Yu and a group of civil and military officials appearing, the leader here immediately went up and said, "Your Majesty, this road is not passable!" ”

When Wang Yu heard this, he immediately asked: "Doesn't it mean that there are only about 1,000 people in the army, what are you afraid of, hurry up and kill them!" ”

"No, the Ming army has very powerful artillery, blocking the door, and those who go out of the city die!"

Wang Yu listened, looked outside, and listened to the shouts and killings in the city, so he was naturally unwilling, and immediately drove those panicked soldiers to rush out.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The reason why the Ming army has few soldiers is because of the speed artillery deployed here, so they blocked the city gate and greeted them with scattered bullets. Each of the speedy cannons has six guns, which can be fired non-stop and block the city gates.

If it is said that the Goryeo army in the city is commanded, organized, and indeed elite, then even if there is a god-speed cannon, it may not be able to block the city gate.

But today's situation is simply impossible. A group of panicked soldiers can bully the people in normal times, but it is difficult to win even the Japanese invaders, let alone others.

After rushing through the rounds and seeing the power of the Godspeed artillery, no one dared to rush out of the city.

At this time, the Ming army that was killed along the city wall was already approaching this side, and there was still a Ming army chasing behind them, so no one cared about their monarch, all of them were like headless flies, scattered in a hurry, and ran everywhere.
