Chapter 701: Under the Coup d'état


In the battle of Wangjing in Korea, although the Korean army was numerous, the quality of its troops was inferior to that of Wu Yue's army, and the two sides could be said to be evenly matched.There are many Korean soldiers, but the disadvantage is that the equipment is backward, and they are generally still broadsword and spear, a small number of bird guns, slow rate of fire, cannot fight far, and lack of artillery to attack fortified positions.Wu Yue's army was less than a thousand people, and its advantage was that it was equipped with a large number of flintlock muskets, as well as bronze artillery, as well as grenades, which took advantage of the street fighting.The two sides fought in the streets around the consulate's residence, and the narrow streets were easily blocked by the fire of the Wu Vietnamese army, causing the charging Korean troops to be shot down in pieces.Seeing that he could not take the consulate government residence, Li Hao was in a hurry, so he could only order the Korean army to line up into a wall, shouting slogans and charging, but the courage of the Koreans was far inferior to that of the Jurchens, nor was it comparable to the Japanese on the other side of the strait, leaving a corpse and being quickly repulsed.In this coup, if you can't take the consulate government mansion, capture Zhao Ming, the king of Wuyue, and then use Zhao Ming to blackmail Wu Yueguo, then what awaits the Korean monarchs and ministers will be the bloody revenge of Wu Yuejun.In view of this, Kim Jong-won, as the leader of the Korean literary class, was well aware of the human weakness of the Celestial Empire, so at his suggestion, a special offensive began.After dawn, the soldiers of Wu Yue, who were guarding the main entrance of the Lingyi Government Mansion, hid behind the barricades built with sandbags.At this moment, from the morning mist opposite, there was a heavy sound of footsteps and sobbing.The soldiers behind the barricades poked their heads out of their bunkers and looked out into the mist, and they couldn't help but be surprised.The soldiers found out that it was hundreds of civilians, forced forward by the swords of the North Korean army.Among this group of people, there were gray-haired old men, women and children, all of whom were trembling with fright, and their faces were colorless.Behind them, the North Korean army pushed the shield cart, and behind the shield cart were the North Korean soldiers with birds and bows and arrows at their waists, and the soldiers of the brigade armed with swords and spears.The Koreans, like the Japanese, were not tall, and Wu Yuejun's gaze passed over the people in front of him, and he could only see the top of the helmet and the cold and shining spearhead."

Niang Xipi's traitor!"

Wu Yue's sergeant scolded and reported to the official.As a vassal of Wu Yue Kingdom, there are many Han people in the capital of Joseon, who come here to do business, and there are more than 1,000 Han people in the city.These Koreans, the people who were driven forward, are undoubtedly Han people from Wang Jing, as well as their dependents.This is Jin Zhongyuan's advice to Li Hao, the Celestial Empire, pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, be bound by morality, drive the Han people to open the way, and the defenders will inevitably throw a mouse.The officer guarding the main gate was Li Qichen, who hurriedly came to the barricade, observed the situation, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw to the gate of the house." ”"General, the rebels are taking the people to open the way, and they can't just retreat!

If they go on, won't the main gate be let out as well?

”The lieutenant asked urgently."

Yes!

General, shall we fight or not?

”Someone said anxiously.Li Qichen gritted his teeth and said: "If you retreat, you will let people outflank you from both wings!"

Destroy these brutes!

”The despicable methods of the Koreans completely angered Wu Yuejun.At this time, Wu Yue's army, which was guarding the barricades, quickly retreated to the position in front of the palace gate, and the Korean army drove the people and occupied the position that had not been captured by nearly 1,000 dead and wounded last night without a single soldier.This greatly excited the North Koreans, and when the officers led by them saw this, they immediately forced the people to continue to advance, intending to storm the consulate in one go.In the rear of the North Korean army, Kim Jong-won observed for a while, then turned around and walked quickly in front of Li Hao, "Your Highness, the street in front of the mansion has been taken." ”Li Hao finally showed a relieved expression, "Jin Jushu, the important task of capturing the government mansion will be handed over to you!"

”The defense line in front of the mansion is still a barricade made of sandbags, and behind the low wall made of sandbags, a flintlock pistol is mounted on it, which looks eerie.At this time, Zhao Ming came over when he heard the news, and Li Qichen immediately reported in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the North Koreans have come up, use our people as shields!"

”Zhao Ming was wearing armor, pressing a war knife in his hand, covered in gunsmoke, and his face was full of black gas.When he heard Li Qichen's words, he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, he didn't expect the North Korean stick to be so shameless and use such a despicable method.Zhao Ming observed the opposite side, there were North Koreans shouting and scolding on the street, mixed with the wails of the people, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.As far as the eye can see, walking in front is a group of old Han couples, their faces full of fear, staggering on the ruins, and the children in their hands have already been frightened and crying."

Grandpa, I'm afraid!"

The little girl cried.The old man and his wife were in tears, they came to North Korea to open a store, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.Damn the Korean rebels, they really lost their conscience, they don't care if they die in a foreign land, but their granddaughter is still young!"

Don't be afraid, close your eyes!"

The old man cried bitterly, took his granddaughter by the hand, and moved forward slowly.Behind them, the North Korean army brandished weapons and shouted and cursed, driving away the people.Zhao Minggang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The rebels are despicable, they can't let them succeed, Li Qichen, how are you going to fight?"

”"Returning to His Highness, the minister let two teams of men and horses outflank the two wings!"

Li Qichen replied.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Are you in place?"

”"It should already be in place!"

Li Qichen looked at both sides of the street.Zhao Ming immediately pulled out the knife, "Then what are you waiting for, destroy them!"

”In the rear of the people, the North Korean army bent on their waists and cautiously advanced, and at this moment, several loud "boom boom" explosions exploded in the crowd.Grenades were thrown from both sides, falling into the crowd, white light bursting up, rubble and wood chips flying, and smoke billowed from the streets."

Call me!"

The officers who rounded out on either side roared loudly."

Bang bang" gunshots rang out, and the North Korean soldiers fell to the ground one after another.When the Korean officers saw the ruins on both sides of the road, as well as the ruined houses and corner towers, Wu Yuejun shooting down from above, hurriedly drew his knife and commanded his soldiers to return fire."

Lie down alone!"

When the guns on both sides were firing in a volley, Zhao Ming took the opportunity to roar loudly.The people in front of them were lying on the ground hula, revealing the Korean army behind them.The Wu Yue army in front of the "bang bang bang" immediately opened fire, and the dense projectiles were splashed on the Korean army behind, the rebels and some civilians who did not react, and fell to the ground like mowing grass."

Kill!"

Zhao Ming waved his knife and pointed angrily, "Brothers, when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"

”More than 200 Wu Yue soldiers stuck their bayonets in their flintlock pistols and rushed out of the barricades with bayonets.The North Korean army found that Wu Yuejun rushed out, and hurriedly opened fire and released arrows, and the people in front of them trembled in the rain of bullets, and some of them were lying on their stomachs, or fled to the ruins on both sides."

Kill!"

Wu Yue's soldiers, like angry eyes, slaughtered into the rebels like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and the two armies launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat.Wu Yuejun's flintlock pistol is very long, equipped with a bayonet, like a sharp spear, and Wu Yuejun has carried out a lot of bayonet training, and indeed has a set, the bayonet is stabbed out and withdrawn, which is more fierce than the little devils of later generations, and the Korean army was suddenly killed and retreated.Not far from the street, the command post of the North Korean army, Li Hao, Kim Jong-won and others were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Wu Yuejun to be so fierce.The Korean army, which was several times larger, was actually killed by three or four hundred Wu Yue troops.At this time, Li Hao was about to send troops to reinforce the battle line and eliminate the hundreds of Wu Yue troops who rushed out, but suddenly there were loud footsteps behind him, and a general came in a panic, "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, there are large troops coming to the city!"

”Li Hao, Kim Jong-won and the others were suddenly shocked, and their faces turned pale."

What army?"

Kim Jong-won's face turned pale, because as far as he knew, there was no army around Wangjing of Joseon at all."

Jin Jushu, it's Wu Yueguo's army!

It should have come from the sea!

”The general panicked.Li Hao reacted from the shock and hurriedly roared, "Quick!

The whole army pressed up and took down the government residence first. ”Cui Chengxiu on the side said urgently: "Your Highness, no!"

There is not much else in these years, and there is no shortage of traitors, if you don't send troops to the city gate, someone will definitely sacrifice the city!
