Chapter 620 The King of the Subjugated Country
"Boom boom boom..." After another deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield, hundreds of Korean troops fell on the battlefield and turned into corpses before they could react.
Soon, the area 150 steps away from the city wall was covered with artillery fire and gunpowder.
On the city wall, the sound of cannons was the command. The sound of the flowering bullets mixed with the screaming flowering bullets had just passed over everyone's heads. The Tiger and Leopard Army, which had been holding back and did not do their best to counterattack, had no hesitation any more.
Grenades with white smoke were thrown down the city walls as if they were not worth money.
In a blink of an eye, the grenades flying out of the city wall were more than twice as much as they were just now.
The North Korean army, which had suffered heavy losses under the grenade attack, suddenly suffered more intense grenade rain, and the blow they faced can be described as devastating.
In a blink of an eye, the area within forty steps of the city wall was compared with various explosions.
Faced with the fierce attacks that suddenly came from behind and behind, the tens of thousands of Korean troops sandwiched in the middle were panicked.
Especially the attacks from behind them directly made them feel that their backs were cut off, and the Tiger and Leopard Army wanted to destroy all of them here.
As a result, these Korean troops, who were still very morale just now and seemed to be in sight, became panicked immediately.
In addition, the counterattack from the front suddenly became fierce. Although he was attacked by grenades just now, he could still rush to the foot of the city wall with his military advantage. Now, under the increasing density of grenade attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter what kind of military advantage it has, he could not rush to the foot of the city wall. Even if he approached more than a dozen steps, it became extremely difficult.
Under such circumstances, the Korean army, which was already panicked, became even more panicked at this moment and fell into an embarrassing situation where they could not advance or retreat.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The continuous sound of gunfire from the city walls was like a death talisman, constantly reaping their lives and further aggravated their panic.
The sudden changes on the battlefield shocked all the Korean troops participating in the battle, and also shocked Ren Zu and others who were watching the battle in the rear.
Facing a fire barrier consisting of artillery fire on the battlefield, Ren Zu opened his mouth directly because of shock, and could not close it for a long time.
It was not until his subordinates around him reminded him that Ren Zu reacted from the shock.
My facial expression, which was still full of expectations just now, turned pale at this moment.
After taking a deep breath, he said in a heavy tone: "The conspiracy is indeed the conspiracy of the Tiger and Leopard Army. They are planning to eat all the troops in my hands in one bite... Fortunately, I still have 5,000 elite troops, otherwise, North Korea will be destroyed in my hands."
The old general around him followed and reminded him: "The battlefield is so big that the tiger and leopard army wants to eat our tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield in one bite. It is absolutely impossible to do it in a short period of time. Therefore, the last general thought that the king should immediately issue an order to withdraw troops, and withdraw as much as it can..."
"Mingjin withdrew his troops and ordered all attacking troops to retreat immediately..." Ren Zu, who suddenly reacted, ordered without thinking.
So, this scene appeared on the battlefield.
After receiving the order to withdraw troops, the densely packed Korean troops were like frightened rabbits, spreading their legs and retreating back desperately.
Behind them, rows of lead bullets continued to catch up with them, shot into their backs, and shot them on the way to retreat.
Soon, behind these North Korean soldiers, a dense layer of corpses were left.
Of course, the attack from behind is not the most deadly for the Korean army that is retreating frantically.
Because, as long as they escaped fast enough, the whistling lead bullets would not do anything to them.
What really poses a fatal threat to them is the fire barrier formed by rounds of flowering bullets that stand in front of them.
After the harvest of flowering bullets and hot air waves, half of the ten Korean troops who rushed into the fire zone were lucky to rush over.
However, under the barrier and cover of gunpowder, they were retreating frantically, and did not know about this situation.
In order to survive, these people resolutely rushed into the fire barrier...
As time passed, the sound of gunfire that had been on the side for about half an hour slowly stopped.
Although more than 10,000 people rushed through this fire barrier, there were obviously more people left on the battlefield by lead bullets and flowering bullets.
When the smoke shrouded on the battlefield dissipated with the wind, the tragic scene of the battlefield appeared in front of everyone at the first time.
A 150-step area away from the city wall, within fifty steps of the city wall, there was almost a layer of black Korean troops covered with corpses.
As for other areas, countless corpses are scattered.
Zhao Yun, who has been paying attention to the battlefield and has a calm expression from beginning to end, finally showed a hint of satisfied smile from the bottom of his heart.
On the other hand, the Korean military positions faced a large number of subordinates who had lost half of their subordinates at once and a large number of corpses on the battlefield. The entire army was shrouded from top to bottom by a trace of unprecedented sluggish morale.
At this moment, the old general who still maintained a trace of rationality hurried over, facing Ren Zu's gaze, and reported in a low tone: "King, the loss has been counted..."
"Except for the five thousand elite soldiers who did not move, we sent more than 30,000 soldiers to the battlefield, and finally returned only more than 12,000. As for the other soldiers, all of them died in the battlefield."
"In other words, the troops in my hands are only 17,000 people..." Ren Zu stared at his red eyes, like a gambler who lost money, and asked with reluctance on his face...
The old general nodded and replied with a sad look: "Not only that, the dozens of Franco cannons we only have were also lost in the attack just now... In addition, the morale of the soldiers was very low, and we have lost the opportunity to continue to counterattack Pyongyang..."
Faced with this very cruel fact, a trace of despair quickly appeared on Ren Zu's face.
Under the gaze of the subordinates, he said to himself in a low tone: "It's over, North Korea is over. I really didn't expect that North Korea would be destroyed in my hands... If I had known this, I wouldn't have sent troops to Liaodong for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver..."
If Ren Zu has lost confidence in North Korea, then North Korea will be finished.
So, as soon as Ren Zu finished speaking, the old general frowned.
After some thought, he retorted decisively: "No, King, North Korea has not yet perished, we still have a chance..."
