Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 340 Yongxuan fled south to Myanmar

The fighting continued, and the roar of heavy artillery resounded across the battlefield.

The various units of the Korean soldiers rushed to launch an offensive against Seoul. With huge casualties, the Korean soldiers finally succeeded in rushing to the foot of Seoul.

The ladder was also put up, and one by one the Korean soldiers began to attack the city.

The shouts of killing continued, and rolling logs and rocks fell like rain from the top of the city.

Many people were hit directly, their brains burst open and blood flowed freely.

Thunderbolts the size of human heads were thrown down from the top of the city and landed among the crowd.

Along with the rumbling explosion, the thunder of the explosion set off a sea of ​​broken limbs among the crowd.

As the smoke filled the air, the air was filled with the strong smell of blood.

However, as the shouts of death rang out, someone finally succeeded in climbing to the top of Seoul.

Corpses piled up inside and outside the city walls.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty and the Korean soldiers strangled each other, and the battle was quite fierce.

He wielded his sword and fought with the Qing troops guarding the city.

The North Korean admiral Yue Rui on the side had already come on stage in person. He took his own soldiers to block the North Korean soldiers who boarded the city, and fought with those North Korean soldiers.

The Qing army lost the outer city and the inner city one after another, and was forced to retreat to the Yamen of the North Korean Governor's Mansion for the final resistance.

The war in Seoul lasted for several days, and finally came to an end under the successive attacks of North Korean soldiers.

Beside him, Yue Rui, who had already broken an arm, also looked desperate.

But they were all stopped by North Korean soldiers.

During this period, the Qing army organized several breakouts.

He Shen stood on the archway of the Governor's Office, looking at the fighting between soldiers and horses on the street outside, his eyes full of despair.

"Why are these Koreans able to display such strong fighting power when they are with the Ming thieves?"

One by one, the Korean soldiers braved the hail of bullets, scrambling for the credit of climbing first.

I want to drive the Korean soldiers who boarded the city back down again!

Watching the fierce battle at the top of Seoul City, He Shen's face kept twitching.

The fighting became more and more fierce, both sides began to collapse desperately, and countless people shouted loudly to kill.

The city wall outside Seoul changed hands several times, and both sides were furious. From time to time, corpses fell from the city walls.

The blood flowed towards the low-lying areas and gathered into pools of blood. Even the water of the Han River tended to be dyed red with blood.

……

"When did these North Koreans become so unafraid of death?"

However, no one could answer He Shen's question.

He looked towards the north and murmured.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet? Why haven't the reinforcements come yet!!"

Yue Rui is a little nervous now.

He felt that he was sincerely loyal to the Qing Dynasty. He refused the Ming thieves' surrender several times, but insisted on guarding North Korea for the Qing Dynasty.

But is this how the Qing Dynasty repaid him?

Faced with his request for help, why didn’t the Qing Dynasty send troops to reinforce him? !

He Shen on the side glanced sideways at Yue Rui, slowly exhaled a breath, and then spoke.

"Don't even think about reinforcements!"

"Based on the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to find troops to reinforce North Korea."

"Seoul has become a dead place!"

After taking a look at the gradually weakening resistance of the Qing army outside the Governor's Mansion, He Shen took a deep breath, turned around and spoke to a soldier beside him.

"Send the order and have people prepare poisonous wine and firewood!"

Hearing this, Yue Rui had an incomprehensible expression on his face and asked.

"What are you planning to do, sir? Things haven't reached that point yet!"

When He Shen heard this, he just shook his head lightly and spoke immediately.

"Haha, there are only you and me here, so there is no need to fool yourself."

"For you and me, this Seoul city is already a dead place. Rather than fall into the hands of Ming thieves and suffer humiliation." "If you just kill yourself, you can also strive for a good reputation!"

Although He Shen had already begun to mess things up before the war, he could still think about it now.

He knew that even if he surrendered now, there would definitely be no way to survive if he fell into Ming's hands.

In this case, it would be better to just commit suicide and preserve the reputation of Niu Gulu.

When Yue Rui heard this, his face turned slightly pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched but he still spoke.

"Please prepare a portion of poisonous wine for me, Admiral..."

Soon, the poisonous wine was delivered.

At the same time, firewood prepared in advance was piled under the archway in the Governor's Mansion and poured with kerosene.

He Shen ordered his subordinates to escort all the maids and servants in the Governor's Mansion to the archway, and then drank poisoned wine one by one, and then locked them in the archway.

Even if he and Shen were to die, someone would have to be buried with them.

After everyone was poisoned, He Shen and Yue Rui also drank the poisonous wine, and then lit the firewood piled under the archway with their own hands.

In an instant, fueled by kerosene, the firewood shot up into the sky with a loud bang.

The fire that hit his face burned He Shen's eyebrows, causing him to scream in pain.

But that’s all!

After screaming in pain, He Shen simply jumped into the fire.

In an instant, the smell of burning fire oil and the smell of burnt flesh spread together.

The entire archway was quickly engulfed in fire!

Seeing that He Shen and Yue Rui set themselves on fire, the remaining Qing troops in Seoul quickly collapsed.

Lost the determination to resist!

They began to surrender in an organized manner to the North Korean soldiers who were attacking the city.

The Battle of Seoul ended.

After the Battle of Seoul ended, the situation in North Korea was completely reversed.

City guards from various places sent letters of surrender to Seoul one after another!

The Ming army quickly spread the word and pacified the entire North Korea.

……

At the same time, Yunnan, Kunming!

Yongxuan was riding on horseback and looked back at Kunming City, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

However, he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Let's go, the army will march south quickly!"

Just this year, the Ming army concentrated its elite main force on the frontal battlefield and captured Shandong.

He also sent troops from Sichuan, Shu, Guizhou, and Guangxi to attack the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan in the southwest with the cooperation of the chieftain forces in the southwest.

Now, Sichuan and Guizhou have all been captured by the Ming army one after another, and the situation in Yunnan is also precarious. The Ming army's forward is less than a hundred miles away from Kunming.

You can imagine how dangerous the situation is!

Yongxuan knew that with the remaining soldiers in his hands, he was no match for the Ming army.

Therefore, he chose to make a decisive decision and lead his troops to flee south to Myanmar.

To survive!

Finally, he looked back at the tall Kunming City. Yongxuan secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would fight back.

……

Another year is approaching.

The city of Nanjing has been quite lively recently, with a huge flow of people.

Many common people, gentry, wealthy businessmen, and even some foreigners with yellow hair and green eyes gathered in Nanjing.

The cause of the incident was a piece of news published in the Ming Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Ming Dynasty.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Xuanwu's reign, the Ming Dynasty will recreate the miracle of the past fire ships on the Yangtze River outside Nanjing.

Ask people all over the world to come and watch the ceremony!
