Chapter 607 Layout

With the powerful trump card of artillery, more than 10,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers were not afraid of exposing their targets, so they drove directly to the front line of the Yalu River and confronted the Korean army defending Shinyiju on the other side of the Yalu River...

Although the Korean army here has not really fought with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the remaining soldiers who fled back from Liaodong still describe the power of the Tiger and Leopard Army muskets in words...

Since the Tiger and Leopard Armite musket is very powerful and has a long range...

Then, if the eight thousand defenders were placed on the bank of the river without any defense and were almost unobstructed, it would be to expose the soldiers under their command directly to the muzzle of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and to let the soldiers under their command die directly...

In order to avoid this happening, the North Korean army general who thought he was very smart directly reduced the defense line and concentrated all 8,000 soldiers in the city of Shinyiju where the Tiger and Leopard Army had to pass...

In the eyes of the general, no matter what, Shinyiju is a military fortress. There are city walls that can block the lead bullets fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army, protect themselves, and prevent the soldiers under their command from being directly exposed to the guns of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

The soldiers under their command can rely on the strong city defense of Shinyizhou to attack the Tiger and Leopard Army from a high point, and minimize the huge gap brought by weapons and equipment to the two armies as much as possible...

If artillery and explosive packs are not considered, the Korean army's decision is definitely the best.

Without artillery and explosive packs, if the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to take down Xinyiju, it must approach the Xinyiju city wall and climb up the city wall through the ladder!

In this case, the range advantage of the Tiger and Leopard Army musket will disappear...

However, the Korean army located in the defense has various advantages...

Holding on the city wall, facing the tiger and leopard army that are close to you, a piece of stone can become the best weapon of the Korean army...

However, what the Korean army did not expect was that the Tiger and Leopard Army was not only equipped with powerful muskets, but also equipped with powerful guns...

After Zhao Yun decided to razed Shinyiju with artillery, the seemingly reasonable and correct decision of the general accelerated their speed of being wiped out...

Because of the layout of the Korean army, and Zhao Yun has enough merchant ships to mobilize...

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army took only half a day to reach the city of Xinyizhou...

Facing the fierce Tiger and Leopard Army, the North Korean army chief standing on the wall of Shinyiju City, although he was confident that with his 8,000 soldiers, he would block the Tiger and Leopard Army with a total strength of less than 15,000.

However, he was cautious and still sent news to Pyongyang that the Tiger and Leopard Army began to attack North Korea as soon as possible...

However, what puzzled him was that the Tiger and Leopard Army, which had already arrived at the city of Shinyiju, did not launch an attack immediately...

Not only that, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which did not even have at least a tentative attack, directly pushed the front line to less than two hundred steps away from the city wall... and under the gaze of thousands of Korean troops, set up a mortar that the Korean army had never seen before...

"Bastard, the Ming Dynasty people outside the city are so arrogant. They actually set up artillery positions under our noses... However, they underestimated our Korean army too much. Do they think that by firing some iron lumps at us, they can eliminate us... It's a joke... Today, I must make these Ming Dynasty people pay the price for their arrogance..." Facing the scene in front of me, the Korean army general felt very humiliated, clenched his fists, and said to himself with anger...

As soon as the words fell, the deputy general standing beside him spoke and suggested: "Two armies, the Ming Dynasty people have artillery, and we also have artillery... Should we order the dozen artillery pieces of the artillery team to replace them with solid artillery shells and give the Ming Dynasty people outside the city two rounds to let them know how powerful our Korean army is."

Although the angry general was very moved about this proposal, the rationality in his heart directly made him suppress this impulse!

After some thought, he directly refused and said, "No, it's possible to replace it with solid artillery shells. Although more than a dozen artillery can shoot shells into the Tiger and Leopard Army's military formation... However, with the limited power of solid artillery shells, it not only cannot cause too much damage to the Tiger and Leopard Army, but also exposes our strength, which is not worth the loss..."

"These dozen artillery pieces are specially used by me to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army's offensive forces... As long as the Tiger and Leopard Army rushed to fifty steps outside the city, they would fire the artillery..."

"According to the calculation of two hundred lead bullets per cannon, more than ten cannons are almost three thousand lead bullets..."

"Three thousand lead bombs were fired at the Tiger and Leopard Army at the same time. No matter how powerful the Tiger and Leopard Army is, it will suffer heavy losses... Therefore, our artillery can only fire shots..."

Although the deputy general was very unwilling to accept it, he had to nod and approve it in the face of facts...

So, the thousands of Korean troops on the walls of Shinyiju were waiting anxiously in a depressing atmosphere, waiting for the Tiger and Leopard Army's attack to begin early...

After an episode, a densely packed artillery position filled with artillery appeared directly in front of the Korean army.

Facing the artillery position with more than 300 artillery numbers in front of him, the angry expression on the face of the North Korean general was directly shocked and covered with shock...

While taking a breath, he couldn't help but exclaim...

"How come there are so many artillery... What does the Tiger and Leopard Army want to do..."

The deputy general around him was also shocked by the big money of the Tiger and Leopard Army... Because the number of artillery in front of him has exceeded the number of all North Korean artillery. Although I don’t know how powerful these artillery in front of me are, since the Tiger and Leopard Army has been arranged, it proves that these artillery can shoot shells into the city of Shinyiju…

At this time, the deputy general was already imagining what kind of tragic scene it would become after being attacked by more than 300 iron lumps at the same time...

I don't want to know, I'm shocked when I think about it...

In the mind of the deputy general, after being hit by artillery fire, the wooden houses along the city wall in Xinyizhou will be smashed by the rain of iron lumps falling from the sky... As for the soldiers hiding in these houses, even if they are not hit directly by the iron lumps, they will be buried by the destroyed wooden houses...

So, in just the blink of an eye, the expression on the deputy general's face was covered with an unprecedented solemnity...

To the main general, he immediately expressed his thoughts...

After saying that, the general's face became solemn, and then he ordered very decisively...

"Why are you still stunned? Except for the soldiers who defend the city wall, all the remaining soldiers are far away from the city wall to avoid being attacked by the Tiger and Leopard Army artillery, and paying unnecessary casualties..."

The dense Korean army had just left the city wall, and a dense roar began to sound at the Tiger and Leopard Army's position.

Then, the sharp whistling sound of the flowering bullets passing through the sky began to sound on the battlefield...

The artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army began! Faced with the shells that flew towards him quickly, the North Korean general was breathing a long sigh, and his solemn face also showed an expression of surviving the disaster...

In the eyes of the main general, after he withdrew from most of the soldiers in the city wall, the artillery attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army will definitely not cause too much damage to the soldiers under his command...

Because of the use of black gunpowder, the flight speed of the shells is very slow...

The eyes of the North Korean army commander almost followed these flowering bullets until these shells hit the city wall...

Just as the main general stared at his eyes and waited for the shells to bounce from the ground to see the specific power of these shells... he unexpectedly appeared in front of him again.

The landed shell did not bounce up, but suddenly burst out, and a fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose up...

Just as the fireball rose, a more violent explosion sounded as promised to the general's ear...

In addition, the main general clearly saw that the moment the fireball rose, the closest to the fireball and the few soldiers who were shrouded by the fireball had no chance to react, and were directly overturned to the ground, angry and unknown...

Most of the soldiers of the Korean army did not know about the flowering bullets, but the main generals who had been to the Ming Dynasty not only knew about the flowering bullets, but also saw with their own eyes the specific power of the flowering bullets...

So, when the explosion kept ringing on the city wall, the shocked general had already exclaimed again...

"The flowering bullet, the Tiger and Leopard Army fired the flowering bullet... How is it possible? Isn't the only red-clothed cannons that can be fired? Why can even such a small cannon of the Tiger and Leopard Army fired cannons..."

Just as the main general exclaimed, more than 300 flowering bullets had all landed...

Except for less than fifty flowering bullets falling on the bare city wall, more than two hundred remaining, all of which fell in the city...

Looking around, the city wall, which was attacked by more than 50 flowering bullets, has been covered by black smoke generated by the explosion of flowering bullets...

Although the specific losses are not clear, the loss is definitely not low based on the main general's understanding of the flowering bullet...

And just before the main general could react from the shock, a scream filled with horror suddenly came out of the mouth of the deputy general next to him...

"Fire, it's gone...General, the artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army ignited the house..."

In a daze, the general's eyes shifted to the line of the city wall, and the area that was also attacked...

I don't know if I don't look at it, I'm shocked...

Under the influence of the flames generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb, the logs used by the North Koreans to build houses were like dry wood hitting a fire and burning directly...

More importantly, because the logs for building the houses were already dry, there were only a few fire points at the beginning, and they formed a whole in just a blink of an eye, turning into a raging fire and spreading quickly into the city...

As the garrison of Shinyiju, the Lord General is very clear about the weakness of Shinyiju's fear of fire, so the Lord General is not unprepared...

On the front line of the city wall, the main general had already prepared a large amount of sand and soil and water to extinguish the fire...

Therefore, the main general who was still shocked spoke without thinking about it...
