Huge sea ships gradually docked in the shallows.

"Login!" With Yan Yingyuan's order, the 20,000 soldiers of the Fourth Army began to land rapidly.

The shoal is large enough to accommodate thousands of people landing together at the same time.

In just half an hour, all 20,000 men of the Fourth Army had landed.

"The whole army set off, march in a hurry, and target Seoul!" Yan Yingyuan calmly ordered.

Due to the relatively tight time, in addition to carrying the necessary weapons and some necessary war materials with the Fourth Army for this landing, not only did it not bring the war horses attached to the Fourth Army, but also did not bring rations.

This was a sign of the Fourth Army's extreme self-confidence, confident that it would be able to win the war today and defeat the Korean and Japanese forces, so there was no need to bring any rations.

In fact, even without the Fourth Army, Huang Degong's Third Army and Shang Keshi's Eighteenth Army could have won the Great War, and the Fourth Army landed in large part because it pursued the captured Koreans and the Japanese after the victory in the Great War.

Seoul was about forty miles from the shoal, and if the Fourth Army marched as fast as it could, it would not take an hour to rush to the battlefield.

On a rock not far from the shoal, the old Korean fisherman and his grandson watched the Fourth Army rush towards Seoul with great momentum after landing, and then looked at the more than 100 large sea ships that had disappeared into the sea horizon.

"Hey, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for my North Korea!" The old fisherman sighed sadly.

This old North Korean fisherman is not stupid, he knows that he recognizes the five-clawed golden dragon on the flag of the ship and the flag of the Fourth Army that landed, in this world, there is no one else who can use the five-clawed golden dragon flag except the Ming Dynasty, and the one who landed just now must be the Ming army.

The old Korean fisherman's own son was also forcibly conscripted to Seoul to participate in the war, he knew that the Ming Dynasty was attacking Korea, and the strength of the Ming army, he had also heard a little about it these days, and he couldn't help but worry about his son's comfort.

No matter what the old Korean fishermen think, it cannot change the occurrence of this war to destroy the country.

In war, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat!

At the same time that the Fourth Army was marching towards Seoul at the fastest speed, outside Seoul, the decisive battle of Jiuyunling had also been carried out to the most intense level.

The soldiers are unstoppable.

Huang Degong and other 40,000 Ming troops slowly attacked and advanced on the high slope on the north side of the North Korean Jiuyun Ridge, and 100,000 Korean soldiers were guarding here.

"Kill"

The soldiers of the Korean army, under the command of the generals, constantly met the offensive of the Ming army.

The machine gun carried by the "Da Da Da" constantly spewed out one fire snake after another, strafing the Korean soldiers who pounced on them.

The rifles of the "bang-bang-bang" infantry also fired constantly and intensively.

The soldiers of the Korean army who rushed to block the offensive of the Ming army were like being sent to death, and they were cleanly slaughtered by the Ming army, and the interweaving of cold weapons and powerful firearms was a miserable massacre at any time.

A large number of North Korean soldiers were killed by bullets and fell almost in pieces, and soon five or six thousand people were killed or wounded.

I usually listen to how powerful the artillery of the Ming army is, but I don't want to, the muskets of the Ming army are even more frightened, thinking that the comrades in front of him are unwilling to fall one by one, and the soldiers of the North Korean army can no longer stop the offensive of the Ming army, even if there are constantly their own soldiers coming to support, they can only retreat under the attack of the Ming army.

Soon, as the first Ming soldiers ascended the high slope on the north side, the soldiers of the Third and Eighteenth Corps quickly occupied the entire high slope.

"Immediately build an artillery camp position!" Huang Degong gave an order, and the soldiers of the artillery battalions of the two armies immediately became busy.

Bulldoze the dirt and quickly erect one field cannon at a time.

The entire 100-meter-high slope is in a hurry.

Under the high slope, especially the place where the Ming army attacked just now, there were countless corpses of Korean soldiers, piles of corpses, blood almost flowed into a blood ditch, and the hundreds of thousands of Korean soldiers besieging Gaopo looked at the Ming army occupying Gaopo one by one, their faces were pale, and their legs trembled slightly, the scene just now was so miserable that no one in the Korean army dared to attack the 40,000 Ming troops occupying Gaopo now.

"Hmph, a group of rabble, I'll clean you up later!" Shang Kexi sneered and looked at the North Korean soldiers who were densely surrounded at the foot of the high slope but did not dare to attack, his expression was full of disdain.

The central slope of Jiuunling, where the king of Joseon and the Tokugawa family gang is located, is about two thousand meters away from the high slope on the north side occupied by the Ming army, and the rout of the Korean army just now, although the king of Korea and the Tokugawa family gang could not see what was happening, but they clearly heard the extremely dense gunfire of the Ming army.

The face of the king of Joseon was dark, and the face of Tokugawa Iegang was not good-looking.

It was only at this moment that they really knew that the Ming army was not only powerful in artillery, but also equipped with muskets on a larger scale.

Tokugawa Igaoka had seen the Dutch musket team, it was undeniable, it was indeed very powerful, listening to the dense gunfire just now, it was not difficult for him to judge that the Ming army's muskets were definitely more powerful than the Dutch.

He finally knew why the Ming army was able to kill all the way to the city of Seoul. This is not good, the musket is extremely lethal, although there are many weaknesses, but if you want to defeat the Ming army, you will have to pay heavy casualties.

Tokugawa Jiagang thought that he knew the Ming army, but in fact, he watched the battle from a distance of nearly two thousand meters, and he didn't know that the Ming army's rifle was not just more powerful than the Dutch's musket as he thought, but the two were not comparable at all, and the Ming army's machine gun, which he couldn't expect.

Tokugawa was worried about how to defeat the Ming army by breaking through the dense musket array of the Ming army at a small cost.

Suddenly, a ray of rain hit Tokugawa Iegao's face.

Tokugawa Jiagang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the sky, and saw that I don't know when, the sky has gathered a lot of dark clouds, and the southeast horizon is even more black and oppressive, there is no doubt that this is the prelude to the coming heavy rain!

"Hahahaha, King of Korea, this is God helping my coalition army, the Ming army will definitely be defeated!" Tokugawa Iegang laughed out loud and said to the king of Joseon.

The king of Joseon was also worried about how to defeat the Ming army, and was stunned by the sudden laughter of the Tokugawa family.

Following Tokugawa Iegang's eyes, the Joseon king also looked at the southeast sky, and at the same time, a drop of rain also dripped onto the face of the Joseon king.

It's going to rain!

"It's going to rain!" The king of Joseon muttered, and then his face was also full of excitement: "Rain is the natural enemy of firearms, it can restrain the guns of the Ming army, without the support of guns, our coalition army is more than ten times that of the Ming army, and the Ming army will be defeated!" ”

"Heaven bless my country!" The king of Joseon also laughed.

Heaven bless the Korean nation? Although Tokugawa Iegang still had a smile on his face on the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing coldness and mockery, how could God really bless Korea, it should be said that Amaterasu was blessing them Great Japan and helping them defeat the Ming army After defeating the Ming army, he annexed Korea and expanded the territory of Great Japan.

Tokugawa Iegang had already thought for a moment that after the annexation of Korea, there must be a qualitative leap in Japan's national strength, and then it would be able to plot against the Ming Dynasty, and then occupy the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Yamato nation would be at the top of the world.

It's really a tiger at the front door and a wolf in the house, and the king of North Korea hasn't realized that even if the Ming Dynasty is defeated and retreats, the danger of their Korean annihilation has not been lifted, because the wolf they personally introduced into the room is also peeking at North Korea like the Ming Dynasty, and even wants to destroy North Korea and fatten himself more than the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Excellency the King, this place is too far from the front line, it is not good to command the battle from time to time, should I go back to the Great Japanese Army and personally command the Great Japanese Army to attack the Ming Army!" Tokugawa Ieoka suddenly said to the king of Joseon.

"Tokugawa Shogun, go! The widow hereby promises that after the annihilation of the Ming army, our DPRK will not treat your country badly! The king of Joseon promised.

In fact, the king of Joseon has already regretted a little, in order to ask the Japanese to send troops, the Joseon spent three million taels of silver in vain, as well as countless grains and grass. If they had known that this heavy rain was coming, and the artillery and muskets of the Ming army had been restrained, they would have been able to completely annihilate the Ming army by relying on North Korea alone.

The king of Joseon was also already thinking about how to send more than 100,000 Japanese pirates after annihilating the Ming army.

Whether it is the king of Joseon or the Tokugawa family, it seems that this coming heavy rain can restrain the guns of the Ming Dynasty, after all, since the appearance of firearms for hundreds of years, firearms will be restrained by heavy rain This is an iron law, and there has never been an exception.

It's a pity that they were wrong, they didn't understand at all, since the development of new gunpowder and firing primer, the Ming Dynasty has broken this law, the guns of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of rain at all, and the heavy rain cannot limit the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

I don't know what kind of expression the Joseon King and Tokugawa Ieoka will have on their faces when they learn of this fact.
