On the top of Seoul City, the North Korean officers and soldiers looked at the large number of soldiers outside the city, including infantry and cavalry. In short, they were all within sight, and they couldn't help but look frightened on their faces.
When did there actually be so many soldiers of the Qing Dynasty? No wonder the Qing army was defeated and fled back to Seoul!
Listening to the rumble of hoofbeats and seeing the ragged Koreans outside the city, they understood that they were all rebels. In the past, they were hiding in Tibet, but now, they have come to besiege Seoul arrogantly. It is really thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi.
Needless to say, all of this was because the Ming Dynasty sent troops to North Korea, just like the previous time. Only this time, he has become the enemy of the Heavenly Soldiers!
"Everyone is on guard!" The Money Rat Tail on the top of the city roared loudly, "Prepare for war, prepare for war, don't you understand? Are you looking for death?"
While talking, these Jianlu waved their whips and beat the stunned Korean soldiers awake one by one!
Ying Erdai was on the top of the city, covered in sweat but didn't care at all. He looked at the Ming army outside the city with a very ugly face. There are at least five to six thousand cavalry and more than two thousand infantry. Coupled with more than five thousand North Korean rebels, the enemy outside the city is very powerful!
At this time, Ying Erdai already knew that he was at a disadvantage because he did not know when the Ming Dynasty would increase its troops in North Korea, adding at least about 5,000 cavalry troops.
For the Ming Dynasty, if it was a cavalry army, it must be elite! There are so many people at once, and they are caught off guard. Who can win?
Needless to say, Bao Chengxian's infantry was definitely finished! Now, there are only about a thousand Qing infantry in the city.
Thinking of this, Ying Erdai couldn't help but turn around and look around, and found that under his gaze, the North Korean officers and soldiers, who were the main force defending the city, had fear on their faces. The clothes are in rags, the weapons are crude, and the morale is completely lost! Can we fight this?
At this time, he couldn't help but regret it!
This situation among North Korean officers and soldiers was actually intentional on his part. In this way, North Korea would not have the ability to resist the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, now that he wants to use the combat power of the North Korean military, he finds that everything he did before was shooting himself in the foot!
Also, because I was worried that the King of Korea would secretly lean towards the Ming Dynasty again, and if the Qing Dynasty attacked again next time, it would be bad if Seoul was strong. Therefore, the city defense of Seoul has not been repaired due to his intentional actions, and the city defense ordnance is even more pitiful.
How can Seoul defend itself under such circumstances?
Thinking of this, Ying Erdai's heart became cold. He knew that this time, he was probably going to be finished!
"My lord, my lord?" Ning Wanwo shouted from behind, "What's going on? Why is this happening?"
Like a puppet, Ying Erdai turned her head and glanced at him, watching him hurried up to the city in panic, then turned back and looked outside the city, her eyes seemed to have lost focus.
After finishing Ning, I came to Ying'erdai's side. When Ying'erdai didn't pay attention to him, I quickly turned my head and looked outside the city.
Just looking at it, I was dumbfounded!
Although Ning Wan heard the movement outside the city, he never expected that there were so many Ming troops outside the city. How could we fight this battle?
Thinking like this, after Ning finished I quickly turned around, looked at Ying Erdai, and asked in horror and expectation: "Sir, where are the soldiers and horses leaving the city? Where is the main force of the Qing Dynasty? Your Excellency..."
Hearing this, Ying Erdai slowly raised his head and pointed outside the city.
As soon as Ning Wanmei saw him, he immediately turned his head to look. Suddenly, his body swayed and he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Outside the city, he saw that all the main forces of the Qing Dynasty that he was looking forward to had their heads hung on the spears of the Ming army, demonstrating outside the city!
Also, the Ming army detained several people in front of the formation. The two people at the front were also his old acquaintances.
One was a gold chain he recommended to the slave chieftain, who is now the infantry commander of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea, Bao Chengxian; the other was the son of the powerful North Korean minister Jin Zidian, who led the North Korean official army into battle.
The two of them were actually captured alive by the Ming army, and are now being taken to Seoul?
"It's over, it's all over!" When Ning Wanwo saw him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, not caring that the highest commander of Jianlu in North Korea was standing next to him.
Not only him, but the heads of so many money rat tails were exposed outside the city, and the leader Bao Chengxian and Jin Lian were taken to the city. This also further damaged the morale of the defenders on the city, whether they were Koreans or Jianlu. , all without exception.
The top of the city is looking at the bottom of the city, and similarly, the bottom of the city is looking at the top of the city.
After Li Guo observed it through the telescope, he immediately smiled and said to Li Laiheng: "There is no suspense in capturing Seoul. We can use the technique of attacking the heart again to capture it more easily!"
"The foster father is right, and the child thinks so too." Upon hearing this, Li Laiheng immediately replied with a smile.
Gao Yigong next to him heard this and felt that he was redundant: the father and son, singing and harmonizing, said everything they wanted to say!
But even though he was thinking this, there was a smile on his face.
In this Korean War, he made great contributions.
Before the change, how could I have ever imagined that one day, I would open up territory for the imperial court and conquer North Korea!
Guangzong Yaozu, that's for sure!
Ha ha!
Just when Gao Yigong was thinking happily, he saw Li Laiheng pointing at the top of the city and shouting loudly: "You must surrender within a stick of incense, otherwise once they fight, these two people will be your fate!"
His personal guards immediately shouted loudly in Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
Then Jin Fulai, who was waiting on the side, also asked his people to shout loudly in Korean.
Then, several Ming army soldiers came forward. Under the watchful eyes of the defenders on the city wall, they raised their swords and dropped their heads. Bao Chengxian and Jin Lian's heads fell to the ground, blood spurted out, and their bodies fell onto the street!
The defenders on the top of the city, whether they were Koreans or Jianlu, just stared blankly at the bleeding corpses, stupidly there.
They understood what the Ming army meant. If they surrendered before the battle, there was still a way to survive. Once the battle began, those outside the city would be their fate!
To drop or not to drop?
Looking at the morale of the army outside the city and looking at the situation here, it seems that this answer cannot be answered!
Ying Erdai's expression was extremely ugly. She looked left and right, then suddenly turned around and left.
As soon as his personal guards saw him, they hurried to follow him.
After Ning Wan and I heard the noise, I turned around and immediately panicked. I quickly chased after me and asked, "Sir, where are you going? Your Excellency, please take your superiors with you! Your Excellency..."
Perhaps because she was annoyed by his shouting, Ying Erdai suddenly stood up, turned her head, and stared at Ning Wan me. Her eyes were like the eyes of a poisonous snake. She stared at Ning Wan me as if someone had pinched her neck. Just speechless.
Seeing that Ning Wan and I stopped making noise, Ying Erdai turned around and left again, hurriedly got off the city and rode towards the palace.
After Ning Wan, I looked at his back, then turned to look at the Ming army's momentum outside the city, and then turned to look at the situation of the defenders on the top of the city. I immediately left, not daring to stay at the top of the city any longer and follow the British and Russians. Go to Erdai.
When he arrived at the palace, he was immediately a little dumbfounded again.
Near the gate of the palace, all the Koreans, including guards, maids, and chamberlains, were seen lying in a pool of blood.
Ning Wan's first reaction was that someone in the city had defected to the Ming army and wanted to cooperate with the outside world?
But then, he saw that the blood of these corpses was still flowing. Inside the palace, there were screams, and vaguely, he heard someone begging for mercy, saying that they were of the same mind as the Qing Dynasty. Suddenly, he thought a possibility.
So, he quickly walked into the palace. After entering, he found that some Qing soldiers were massacring the Koreans.
Hearing the noise, holding the bleeding knife and staring at him with red eyes, Ning Wan was so scared that I felt chills running down my back.
However, after these Jianlu saw it clearly, they ignored him and continued to hunt down those Koreans who begged for mercy or were hiding in Tibet.
After Ning Wan, I calmed down and knew that this was Ying Erdai's order, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
He was not stupid, he vaguely guessed Ying Erdai's intention, and hurried towards the depths of the palace.
Along the way, I saw soldiers of the Qing Dynasty slaughtering people from time to time, and the palace was dyed red with blood.
Over at the King of Korea's palace, Ning Wan finally saw Ying Erdai.
I saw Injo of Joseon, his sons, concubines, etc., who had been led by Ying Erdai and were begging for mercy: "Sir, why do you want to kill Gu? Gu has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty. ! Your Excellency, have you ever treated me badly in North Korea? When you do anything in the palace, I always turn a blind eye..."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a huge cheer from the distance.
Needless to say, this cheer can only come from the troops outside the city. Without looking, you can guess that it is the Ming army that has entered the city, or in other words, it is the Koreans on the top of the city who have released the Ming army. Came in.
When Ying Erdai heard this, he immediately interrupted Renzu of Joseon and shouted coldly: "The city is about to be destroyed. Since you are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, go over there and die for the Qing Dynasty!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately his men grasped the bloody knife, strode forward, and started killing again.
Seeing this scene, Joseon Injo became desperate and shouted loudly: "I don't want to die. I have endured humiliation so far just to survive. Can't I even meet this requirement?"
"That's why!" After hearing this, Ying Erdai sneered immediately, "If you surrender to the Ming Kingdom again, it will be detrimental to our Qing Dynasty. Therefore, you can only die!"
After saying that, he even stepped forward in person and stabbed the knife fiercely into the stomach of Joseon Injo.
"I... I regret it!" Joseon Injo vomited blood and spoke with difficulty, "I regret... I regret that I shouldn't... associate with jackals..."
Ying Erdai sneered, kicked out, and took out the weapon. He watched Chosun Injo struggle for a moment and then stopped moving.
