The military camp or posthouse where the Ming army was stationed was an independent building complex not far from Gyeongbokgung Palace. There were no other buildings within fifty steps around, and the view was extremely wide with no obstructions.
This is also the reason why Zhu Cijiong chose to station here in the first place.
"Agou, quickly take your people and move the antlers outside to the street."
"Ah Mao, take down all the door panels, tables, etc., and move them outside to build a protective wall."
"Others, hurry up and rest. When the fighting breaks out, you may not have a chance to eat all night. You will be hungry by then. It's no wonder I didn't warn you. Hurry up."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
When Zhu Cijiong came out with a Type 20 rifle,
I saw the soldiers of the Ming army eating dry food with Ming wine.
"Prince Ding, why did you come out?" Xia Wanchun said, "Go back quickly, it's dangerous outside."
"Brother Duan, what did you say?" Zhu Cijiong said with a straight face, "In the face of the war, you let Gu, the general, hide behind you? You can say it, but Gu Ke can't do it."
Xia Wanchun laughed when he heard this and stood next to Zhu Cijiong.
The Ming army soldiers nearby heard the conversation between the two and their morale was greatly boosted.
His Highness Prince Ding is a man of ten thousand gold, but he fights alongside them. How dare they refuse to die?
"Prince Ding, would you like a jar?" Xia Wanchun took out a jar of Mingjiu from the wooden basket next to him.
"Good wine." Zhu Cijiong took a sip and praised, "Drinking bright wine on a cold day is the most enjoyable."
Xia Wanchun handed over another piece of beef jerky. While the two were eating meat and drinking wine, a gunshot suddenly rang out at the street in front, and then a small group of Ming soldiers rushed back.
This is the sentry posted at the street intersection ahead.
"Here we come." Xia Wanchun's face darkened.
"Come on." Zhu Cijiong wiped his mouth and threw the wine can on the ground.
In just a moment, a dozen Ming army sentries rushed back to the military camp, and returned to the military camp through the gap between the removed antlers.
When he turned back and looked forward, he saw that the black and dense North Korean army was quickly coming from the street in front to cover them up. There were at least a thousand people, maybe more.
Xia Wanchun immediately raised his gun and shouted: "President A, form a line formation!"
A total of 450 infantrymen came forward with guns and quickly set up a line array. They were divided into three rows at the front and back, with 150 people in each row. They filled the front of the 50-meter military camp. Zhu Cijiong and a hundred soldiers equipped with Type 20 rifles
The scouts climbed up to a high place, preparing to freely hunt down the important targets of the Korean army from a high position.
Soon, the North Korean army was approaching within a hundred steps.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!" The North Korean musketeers opened fire first.
The makeshift "protective walls" made of door panels, window panels or tables blocking the Ming army's formation were beaten loudly, and several Ming army soldiers covered their faces and fell back.
The medical soldiers accompanying the army quickly stepped forward and carried the injured Ming army down.
The Ming troops in the back row quickly stepped forward to keep the front row intact.
"Boom boom! Boom boom!" Several more rows of gunshots rang out, and the Korean army approached to the fifty paces.
Immediately, the swordsmen and spearmen of the Korean army passed over the musketeers and charged towards the Ming army. Behind the swordsmen and spearmen of the Korean army, there were archers, charging with bows and arrows.
Waves of arrow rain immediately poured towards the Ming army's line array.
Xia Wanchun turned his left arm horizontally to cover his face, using his shawl to protect his face, while shouting: "Everyone is here, hold on to me, don't panic, continue to hold on to me..."
From time to time, a faint scream passed by my ears.
There was also the thud sound made when the arrow missed and penetrated the cotton armor and hit the iron spacer.
Even the hat-shaped helmet on Xia Wanchun's head seemed to have been hit by an arrow, but Xia Wanchun didn't care because the bows and arrows equipped by the Korean army could not penetrate the Ming army's hat-shaped helmet.
In a word, the armament of the Korean army was worse than that of the Ming army before Jiashen.
The firearms were shoddy, the bows and arrows lacked maintenance, and their lethality was beyond recognition.
This is indeed the case. The Korean army's arrow attack almost did not cause any substantial damage to the Ming army.
The howl of the North Korean army echoed through the night sky, and Xia Wanchun could basically judge the distance between the two sides just by the sound.
Guessing that the North Korean army was approaching within thirty steps, Xia Wanchun lowered his gun without hesitation, then aimed at the North Korean saber player who was charging at the front and pulled the trigger heavily.
"Bang!" A puff of white smoke instantly rose up, causing the tiger's mouth to feel slightly numb.
Looking carefully, he saw that the sword player had fallen to the ground.
As luck would have it, Xia Wanchun's cannon hit the North Korean army directly in the face.
Xia Wanchun's gunshot was an order, and the 150 Ming soldiers in the first row pulled the trigger in unison.
Intense sounds of gunfire rose into the sky, and thick white smoke filled the air instantly. The Korean saber players who were charging at the front fell to the ground like wheat cut down in autumn.
A shoddy wooden sign cannot stop the lead of a 12.8 caliber flintlock gun.
Most of the seventy or eighty Korean saber players who rushed to the front row fell instantly.
The remaining dozen sword players were stunned on the spot, but they couldn't turn around and escape at this time because the spearmen behind them were pushing them forward, so they could only rush forward passively.
The Ming army's second team of 150 musketeers quickly replaced them.
There was another burst of gunfire, and the remaining dozen sword players all lay down.
Dozens of the Korean spearmen who followed behind also lay down.
At this time, the North Korean army in front was still confused, and the North Korean army in the rear row was still pushing the North Korean army in front to rush forward, so the whole thing looked "very brave".
The North Korean army will be confused, firstly because it is at night, and secondly because they have never fought such a battle.
Row after row of Korean soldiers screamed and rushed to hit the muzzle of their guns.
"It's quite possible to be a thief." Xia Wanchun was a little surprised and quickly ordered, "President B, prepare grenades!"
Xia Wanchun was thinking that if Commander A's line array could not withstand the charge of the North Korean army, he would ask Commander B to throw grenades. Anyway, the Ming army was protected by a protective wall, so safety was guaranteed.
However, Xia Wanchun's worries were unnecessary.
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots rang out continuously on the roof behind him.
But it was Zhu Cijiong and a hundred scouts who were standing high up and fired.
Zhu Cijiong and a hundred scouts fired at the same time as the 150 musketeers of the Third Team of General A, which caused even greater damage to the Korean army, and even the Korean army's rear formation suffered casualties.
This single salvo alone killed at least more than a hundred Korean troops.
And at this time, the North Korean soldiers in the front rows who were lucky enough to survive finally recovered from their confusion.
Then the North Korean army was defeated as expected, starting with the North Korean army in the front, then spreading to the North Korean army in the middle, and finally spreading to the entire North Korean army. Thousands of people turned into a ball of scattered sand in an instant.
If it were in the wild, Xia Wanchun would definitely have ordered the trumpets to be blown and the entire battalion to charge.
But now we are inside the city of Seoul. Not only is the terrain complex, but there are also Korean troops everywhere. Therefore, Xia Wanchun did not rashly order a charge. Instead, he just ordered the Ming army soldiers to continue to advance in succession and fire muskets against the defeated troops.
The defeated troops felled many more before they ran far away.
"Brother Duan, these Korean sticks are too useless."
"That's right, we haven't even finished warming up yet."
Several other leading soldiers started teasing Xia Wanchun.
As the deputy general, Xia Wanchun said: "Don't be careless, hurry up and load the ammunition."
After a pause, Xia Wanchun continued: "If nothing else happens, the North Korean army should attack me from several other directions at the same time. Therefore, President B, President C, and President Ding can also enter the position, and President E can also enter the position.
As a backup, if there is a critical situation in any direction, support immediately."
Xia Wanchun's judgment was completely correct.
Just a quarter of an hour later, the North Korean army launched a second attack.
And this time it was really attacking from four directions, southeast, northwest, and at the same time.
However, the Ming army was already prepared, and the Korean army was beaten to a bloody pulp.
In less than half an hour, the Ming army repelled two attacks by the Korean army.
But I saw that the open space around the post house was already covered with corpses or wounded soldiers of the Korean army. The blood flowing from the bodies of the Korean soldiers almost dyed the four streets red.
…
Also attacked by the rebels was Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Moreover, there were more rebels attacking Gyeongbokgung Palace, and they even brought cannons.
With a loud "rumbling" sound, the heavy and solid main entrance of Gyeongbokgung Palace was finally blasted open, and then the rebels swarmed in despite the rain of arrows from the chamberlains and the Korean Imperial Guards.
But fortunately, there are many palace gates behind Gwanghwamun.
The chamberlains and imperial guards could resist for a while with the help of the palace gate.
But Li Jie, who had just stayed at Gwanghwamun to supervise the battle, was so frightened that he lost his soul. He handed over the task of guarding Qinzhengmen and Qinzheng Palace to the chamberlain, and hurried to Li Jian's palace.
Li? has run out of ideas and has to ask Li Zhu to make up his mind.
"Father, my father is in trouble, the rebels have broken through Gwanghwamun."
Li? stumbled into Li Zhu's palace and said in panic: "What should we do? What should we do? Father, why don't we run away from Shenwu Sect quickly? There are no rebels outside Shenwu Sect yet. What?
Sample?"
"Hu Tu, do you think the rebels will leave the Shenwu Sect behind for you and me to escape?" Li Zhu was almost angered to death on the spot, thinking to himself, why did I choose you, a loser, to be the heir apparent?
Li? said: "What can we do?"
"Don't panic." Li Zhu said in a deep voice, "Reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Reinforcements?" Li Jing said in panic, "Father, are you out of your mind because of illness? King Qin's edict from Jiangyuan, Huanghai and Zhongqing Province has just been issued, and it will take two days at the fastest for King Qin's army to arrive."
Li Zhu said: "I am talking about the Ming army, and the Ming army will soon come for reinforcements."
"Ming Army?" Li? shook his head like a rattle, "The Ming Army itself cannot be protected now."
"Idiot, have you forgotten the battle outside Changyi Gate?" Li Zhu said angrily, "The rebels are no match for the Great Tomorrow Soldiers. No matter how many rebels there are, it is useless. You only need to bring your servants and imperial guards to hold on.
The Ming army will arrive in half an hour! By then you and I, father and son, can sit back and relax."
