Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 540 Broken City
  "If I fight, how can I fight?"

Li Fangyuan continued to look at Li Zhan and the others and asked lightly.

Li Zhan first said: "We are weak, but we have many soldiers. As far as I know, there are only more than 30,000 Dingliao right guards. The soldiers in other guard posts in the entire Liaodong are too busy at this time to come to support. Female. If they really attack Liaodong, the Tatars will also attack Liaodong, and even Peking is going to war."

The front line in the north of the Ming Dynasty was completely pulled up, and the defenders on the border basically had fighting tasks.

Because of this, Li Fangyuan sent troops to cross the Yalu River.

Li Zhan and other talents believe that if this battle can be fought, they must take advantage of this opportunity to fight. If they lose this opportunity, they will no longer be able to fight against the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield in the future.

As long as they have an advantage in this battle, they can do a lot. They will no longer be afraid of the Ming army in the future, and may even officially invade the Ming Dynasty.

"We can assemble an army of 100,000 at any time and fight against the Ming army's 30,000-odd people. There is no problem at all."

"But in the past few days, news has continued to come back, indicating that the military's firearms are very strong. Considering this, I believe that focusing on stability and concentrating troops to defend Pyongyang is the safest approach."

"Pyongyang cannot be lost, otherwise there will be no barrier to the north of Seoul."

"I believe that we should first defend Pyongyang, use silence to plan for action, and wait for work at leisure."

"Just keep adapting to circumstances."

Li Zhan spoke his thoughts slowly.

"My minister agrees!"

Li Fangqian said first.

"My minister agrees!"

He Lun and others nodded in agreement.

They believed that they could not let it go. The Ming Dynasty's front line was stretched and they had to divide their forces to deal with the Tatars and Jurchens. They must go to war and fight the Ming army to the end.

Faced with this situation, the ministers of the capitulation faction did not dare to say anything for a while.

Li Fangyuan wanted to fight, and they could not object but remained silent.

"it is good!"

Li Fangyuan shouted loudly, and then said: "I'm sending you an order to gather all the country's troops in Pyongyang..."

For them, Pyongyang must not be lost, and they will use Pyongyang as a line of defense to wait for opportunities to counterattack the Ming army.

-

When the cavalry entered Goryeo, Zhu Xuan followed the infantry and fought into Goryeo together.

This is not Zhu Xuan's first time to fight. In Annan, he could fight in person. Now he is following Ke Tianlang to fight. Naturally, Yan Guan and the others will not refuse.

While the army was advancing, Zhu Xuan received various news from the cavalry.

All the Ming cavalry who went to harass Goryeo had an advantage. Although the Goryeo cavalry also came to intercept and kill them, they were of little use to the Ming cavalry. Goryeo was still being chased and killed.

Zhu Xuan was quite satisfied with this result.

They soon came to the north of Pyongyang, where there was a city that was the only barrier to the north of Pyongyang.

There are not many guards in this city, only more than 10,000.

They had long known that the Ming army would come, so they made various preparations in the city and strengthened their defenses. However, these defenses of Goryeo were almost useless in front of Zhu Xuan.

"Your Highness!"

Ke Tianlang raised his head and looked at the city in front, and said with disdain: "A city wall like the Koreans is vulnerable to our Ming artillery. Why don't you give us a fucking shot?"

He had long realized how powerful the new artillery was, and had long wanted to give it a try.

"Then give it a fucking shot and start attacking the city now."

Zhu Xuan was sitting in the army, with more than a thousand people protecting him, and he spoke unhurriedly.

"Have a blast."

Ke Tianlang said loudly: "Your Highness has an order, fire! Kill those bastards hard, do it!"

The soldiers in the army acted quickly. They prepared the artillery, stuffed the shells into the barrels, and blasted hard at the city wall in front of them.

boom!
  A deafening explosion sounded outside the city.

The cannonballs shot out, landed on the city wall, and caused a tower to collapse. The Korean soldiers on the city didn't quite understand what the Ming army wanted to do when they looked at it from a distance, but when they saw the explosion caused by the shells bombarding them, they finally understood the horror of this kind of firearm.

Many people were killed immediately.

Even the city walls were blown down.

The Korean people had never seen such a terrifyingly powerful firearm. They were bombarded and they didn't know what to do for a while. Many people fled in embarrassment, but they could not escape the range of the artillery fire.

Several mortar shells crossed a perfect parabola and then bombarded in again.

There was also Dingshan River in the army, which fired artillery at the city wall.

boom……

With one shot, the city gate was smashed into pieces on the spot.

The sound of artillery fire echoed in the city.

After a period of shelling, the entire city tower almost collapsed, and the scene of the shelling turned into ruins and incomplete corpses on the ground.

"Damn, it feels so good!"

Ke Tianlang and the others hated Goryeo deeply.

Seeing the firearms bombing was so refreshing, they felt super relieved. They continued to bombard, venting their inner hatred for Goryeo, and the city was quickly beaten into a bad shape.

"All right!"

When Zhu Xuan saw that it was almost done, he said: "Lead the troops into the city, control everyone in Goryeo, and capture those men. I will take them back to be slaves in the future."

Building railways, etc., requires a lot of labor, especially the hardest labor.

In fact, Zhu Xuan didn't want too many people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer hardship, so it was very appropriate to use these slaves captured through the war to do that kind of cool labor.

The labor force here is not in vain.

"Fight into the city!"

Ke Tianlang shouted loudly.

He led more than 10,000 Dingliao right-guard soldiers and charged into the city with murderous intent.

There were still many Koreans in the city who took up arms and wanted to resist, but Ke Tianlang did not tolerate these people. When he saw anyone who dared to resist, he shot and killed them.

War does not need mercy, let alone the Virgin.

There is only the collision of blood and fire, the fight between life and death.

But now that the party being tortured and killed has become the Koryo people in the city, no one will have mercy on the enemy. After all, when the Koryo people looted and killed the people of Liaodong, they would not have any mercy.

Those who resisted were quickly killed.

The alternative to resistance was surrender. After a while, many Koreans surrendered in the city.

Ke Tianlang followed the plan and arrested the men. As for the women and children, they were temporarily kept in the city and will be dealt with in the future.

Conquering a city, especially a small city in Goryeo, did not bring much sense of accomplishment to Zhu Xuan. It was just a very common thing. He only had to give the order to fight and conquer it easily.

This is absolute weapon crushing.

In the face of absolute strength and powerful weapons, carrying out dimensionality reduction attacks on some low-level weapons does not actually require much strategy. Just attack and push everything aside.

Pushing forward invincibly, no one can stop him.

"Your Highness, this city is already under our control."

Ke Tianlang said excitedly.

Waiting for this moment, they Ding Liao Youwei's soldiers did not know how long they had been waiting.

They were extremely eager to break into Goryeo, destroy Goryeo, vent their anger, and avenge their families and relatives who were killed by Goryeo.

If Zhu Xuan hadn't wanted to capture slaves, they would have been absolutely merciless and would have massacred the city.

As frontier soldiers, they often fight and are used to seeing all kinds of cruel things. They have no mercy when fighting, and they don't think massacres are cruel.
