Zhao Lie didn't know everything that happened in the Forbidden City, and even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
It was beyond his control, just like the siege of Hanyang was beyond his control.
On the morning of the sixth day, the Jiannu camp in the north of Hanyang was extremely noisy, and Jiannu soldiers began to pour out of the camp.
The Polu and Korean soldiers on the city immediately reported to their respective commanders and began to gather and prepare for war.
When the King of Korea, a group of ministers, and Zhao Lie arrived at the head of Beicheng, what they saw was a doomsday scene.
The Korean people in ragged clothes and stumbling across the plain were slowly approaching Hanyang City, driven by the slave-building auxiliary soldiers.
Those among them who could not walk and fell were immediately hacked to death by the slave-building auxiliary soldiers.
The auxiliary soldiers' movements were clean and neat.
It's as easy as killing a chicken and a dog.
It was such a cold-blooded massacre that shocked the Korean monarchs and soldiers on the city wall.
The Korean monarchs and ministers did not experience large-scale invasions by barbarians.
The last Dingmao chaos was mainly in the north.
Even though the bloody massacres, rapes and plunders caused chaos all over the country, the Korean monarchs and ministers only heard about it.
As the saying goes, it is better to see it than to hear it.
This time, Jiannu placed the bloody massacre in front of the eyes of the Korean monarchs and ministers, stimulating the controllers of the Three Thousand Miles Country.
This was a great insult and provocation to the Korean monarchs and ministers, and removed their last fig leaf.
"I regret not listening to General Zhao's words.
This time, many people have been hurt by the lonely king."
Li Zhu was heartbroken.
He did not let the soldiers drive the people southward because he did not want to leave the people with the cruelty of his king. impression.
Li Zhu was good at gathering people's hearts, and he was usually somewhat proud of it, but today's decision cost so many Korean people their lives, which made him extremely upset.
In fact, what troubled him the most was that he was afraid that the history books would record this incident and say that he vetoed the Ming general Zhao Lie's suggestion to relocate the people, leading to the death of tens of thousands of people, thus allowing his virtuous name to be passed down through the ages.
In this way, he worked hard to create His reputation was ruined.
As the king of North Korea, he can control the public opinion of North Korea, but Zhao Lie is the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, so he cannot control the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as there are records in Ming Dynasty, North Korea will hear about it, and North Korea will not be peaceful.
"Your Majesty has always been very kind to his subjects.
This is the brutal and beastly behavior of the barbarians.
Your Majesty, please do not be too sad."
Jin Liu hurriedly advised, this is really not the time to discuss this, but to defend the city.
The king always fails to grasp the key points, and he, the leader of the government, is also worried.
Other ministers also hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Zhao Lie didn't have time to take care of the farce of the Korean monarchs and ministers.
He kept observing the rear formation of Jiannu with a telescope, but he saw large groups of Jiannu armored soldiers driving large groups of Korean civilians westward.
"Commander, when you come to Jiannu, you are going to attack from all sides."
Han Jian also saw Jiannu's plan.
"The city of Hanyang is too big for soldiers like us to stand there.
The wall left to be guarded by North Korean soldiers is an opportunity to build slaves."
Zhao Lie put down the telescope and said.
"It's a good thing that you made preparations in advance, otherwise you would have been caught off guard."
Han Jian also gave a small flattery.
"There are too many Korean soldiers here who have not been in battle.
They are no match for our Beijing camp in Ming Dynasty.
If we don't plan ahead, I'm afraid we will only take advantage of the slaves outside."
Zhao Lie helplessly looked at the King of Joseon who was still crying bitterly.
Han Jian laughed when he saw the chaos among North Korean monarchs and ministers.

Sure enough, soon the North Korean garrison's temperance envoy in Xicheng sent someone to report, and the barbarian army drove a large group of people towards the city.
Because the terrain of Hanyang City is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, the Polu Army took on the important task of defending the North City and East City, leaving the higher terrain in the west and south to the Korean soldiers and the young men in the city. .
Today, the Jiannu army attacked from the north and west.
It is estimated that the position guarded by Korean soldiers at Ximen is the focus of the Jiannu army's attack.
Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak has always been the Jiannu's specialty.
But it is no longer possible to adjust at this time.
There is also an army of slaves in the north to contain it.
We can't transfer the rebel troops from the East City to defend the city.
If we transfer the defense before the battle, we are afraid that the pampered Hanyang defenders will cause chaos.
Furthermore, if Jian Nu is attacking the East City again, so the North Korean army can only defend the West City.
After hearing the warning from Xicheng, the King of Korea and his party hurriedly set off for Xicheng.
They were also extremely worried about their own soldiers and immediately decided to go to supervise the division.
When Li Zhu and his party arrived at the head of the West City, countless Korean people were already approaching the moat of the West City.
Hanyang's moat is nearly three feet wide and more than one foot deep.
It can be considered an extremely deep and wide moat, worthy of Hanyang's name.
The moat was only a few dozen steps away from the city head, and it had already reached the attack range of the North Korean infantry archers and gunmen at the city head.
However, facing tens of thousands of Korean civilians, Ximen Temperance Commander did not dare to order an attack.
This He couldn't make the decision.
You must know how many Korean lives this costs.
Only the King of Joseon can make this decision, and no one else can make the decision.
But when had Li Zhu experienced such a scene?
He usually gave orders, but what was that situation?
What is the situation now?
Seeing so many people being driven by barbarians to attack the city, his liver and gallbladder were split.
What he was thinking about now was how his decision would be recorded in history books if he ordered an attack, and whether it would leave him with a lot of infamy.
He hesitated, and other ministers could not make a decision for him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Jiannujia soldiers drove the Korean people and quickly threw sandbags into the moat.
Soon the moat was leveled to create a road dozens of steps wide.
Originally, the blockage of the moat line of defense would have caused Jiannu to lose a lot of blood, but under Li Zhu's hesitation, Jiannu passed through the moat unharmed, and they drove the people straight to the west wall of Hanyang.
"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer, otherwise the city will fall."
Ximen Temperance said anxiously, bowing down.
"Hey, fight back, fight back."
Li Jie nodded helplessly.
But at this time, the Jiannu armored soldiers who had mixed in with the Korean people had begun to shoot arrows at the top of the city.
Behind them, there were more than a thousand armored soldiers who were also firing arrows crazily by the moat.
An overwhelming barrage of arrows rushed toward the city, but hearing the banging sound, the Korean gunmen at the city began to fight back.
Most of the soldiers in the city now have wooden shields to protect themselves, so the casualties are not too great.
However, Li Zhu and others hid in the city gate tower, and the Jiannu cavalry rushed in without carrying cannons at all, so the city gate tower was considered impregnable.
The North Korean soldiers' counterattack with firecrackers and infantry bows caused a large number of casualties to the North Korean people under the city.
A large number of people fell to the ground and struggled and shouted, but the swords and guns of the Jiannujia soldiers behind them still drove the people to start erecting their ladders, and they began to climb up the ladders.
The defenders, under the orders of military leaders at all levels, pushed down the rolling logs and boulders.
Once the large logs and boulders rolled down, they immediately caused large casualties below.
The Korean people below continued to cry and scream, and the entire West City was destroyed.
Continuous screams surrounded him, as miserable as hell.
Li Shu sat trembling behind the desk in the tower.

He closed his eyes, but these screams kept coming from his ears, making his heart twitch.
Fear, shame, and anger were tumbling in his heart. , making his face twitch.
The other ministers could only wait helplessly.
As civil servants, they were helpless at this time.
Since the Korean soldiers and young men guarding the city pushed the rolling wood and stone and left the protection of the wooden shield, Jiannu's arrows arrived as expected, causing casualties to the defenders on the city.
There were defenders and young men holding arrows and wounds with their hands, screaming and falling to the ground, and then being carried down by others.
However, wood and rocks were pushed down continuously by the defenders, preventing the Korean people from climbing the city.
A large number of Korean people were killed and injured, many ladders were broken, and the Koreans screamed and fell from a height of one or two feet.
There were also some bloody Koreans who turned back to fight the Jiannujia soldiers, but the unorganized resistance was quickly suppressed by the Jiannujia soldiers.
Other Korean people stepped on the dead and wounded on the ground and continued climbing with ladders until they were hit by rolling logs, rocks, fire blunderbuss, and arrows.
The defenders on the city are now numbly attacking the climbing Koreans with rolling logs, rocks, fire guns and arrows.
The blood of the same nation is constantly biting each other in the west city of Hanyang.
The scenes that were staged in the Ming Dynasty are repeated in Hanyang today.
Inside the city tower, the increasingly complex screams outside stimulated the nerves of the North Korean monarchs and ministers.
Many ministers closed their eyes and trembled and persisted.
They, who came from gentry families who had read poetry and books, heard the magic sounds in their ears.
Shocked.
"The sin of the lonely king is extremely serious.
If it weren't for the lonely king who couldn't defend this thousand-mile country, why would the people have suffered like this?
The lonely king..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Zhu burst into tears.
He was so heartbroken that he regretted it.
The other ministers hurriedly came forward to comfort and joke, there is a fierce battle outside the city, and you, as the leader of a country, are crying here.
This, isn't this shaking the morale of the army?
How can this be done?
Fortunately, the noise outside was so loud that Li Jie's small voice was nothing and could not be heard ten steps away.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city had forgotten Li Jie inside the city gate.
They had too many things to do, so who could Don't take care of the monarchs and ministers like them who are in the way.
The people under the city continued to pour in, and fell to death one after another under the city.
The defenders at the top of the city also suffered constant casualties under the attack of the arrows of the Jiannujia soldiers.
Only the Jiannujia soldiers suffered minor losses.
At this time, the rolling logs and stones guarding the city flew away quickly, but the young man who was carrying the rolling logs and stones to the city suffered a lot of casualties from arrows.
Very few of the rolling logs and stones could reach the city.
Soon the defenders at the top of the city discovered that they were running out of wood and stone rolling, but the Korean people below the city were still climbing continuously.
The city was now covered with a thick layer of dead and wounded, and those who followed would continue to climb the city on their corpses.
With the running out of rolling wood and stone, only crossbows and fire blunderbuss can hit the people.
This kind of firepower is far inferior.
After all, the fire blunderbuss is slow to load, and the crossbowmen's arms are now sore and numb, and they have reached their limit.
At this time, some people had already climbed to the top of the city and fought hand to hand with the defenders.
Dorgon, who had been watching the formation from behind, gave an order and the Jiannu armor soldiers mixed in with the people began to charge forward
