Chapter 551: Tremble! Wild boar skin
In ancient times, there was a tradition that those who came to the city should be persuaded to surrender in the name of the righteous teacher, and those who surrendered could not be killed to show the mercy of the king's army.
And Liu Hongjian sent the person responsible for persuading him to surrender this time, who was born in the ancient league and was the only remaining fierce man in Guanning's iron cavalry.
The most important thing is that all the cities that were responsible for persuasion ended in failure.
"The rebels in the city listen, you are limited to open the city and surrender within ten breaths, and those who surrender will not be killed, and resist the slaughter of the city!" Kuoduan carried a war knife in his hand, and shouted at the city in fluent Da Ming language, his arrogance was extremely arrogant.
"Wild boar skin on dog days, your grandfather is here, don't open the city gate again, grandpa is welcome!" Seeing that there was no movement at the head of the city, Kuoduan couldn't help but be furious.
Silence is the most powerful mockery, this is so shameless, how about saying something?
In fact, this is the fault of the general who defends the city, and the one in charge of guarding the city of Uiju is Soma's eldest son, Soma, who doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't understand the Ming language.
Soma, dressed in armor, stood behind the battlements of the city wall, staring coldly at the Ming army under the city, and then gestured to a few archers beside him.
Five or six archers shot their arrows one after another, and with a loud curse, the sword in his hand flew and all the arrows flew away, and then rushed towards the main formation behind him.
"My lord, let's attack the city, don't carve a mattress!" Kuoduan grinned and said the elegant words he had learned, and before the centaurs could rush back to their main formation, they shouted at Liu Hong.
"This muddy ball, I know that it can't be done." Liu Hong gradually muttered.
That being said, in fact, Liu Hong knew early on that letting this broad end persuade him to surrender was basically no different from starting a war.
Dai Shan obviously has more options, such as going to Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang further north to compete with the Rakshasa Kingdom, which is also a good place.
But this generation of good people didn't know whether they were blinded by hatred, or if they were sure that the Ming would be afraid of the domestic situation and the national strength of the Rakshasa country and chose to sit idly by, but chose a seemingly safe, but in fact extremely stupid decision - to attack North Korea.
Although the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army is weak, you should not forget the geographical location of North Korea, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides, except for the Yalu River and the Changbai Mountain in the north.
If you go further north to grab the land, you can continue to run west, east, and north if you lose, but in North Korea, hehe.
After crossing the Yalu River, you basically got into a big pocket, do you have a boat with wild boar skin? Can you swim?
Liu Hongji's meaning is very clear, since he is here, he will play the prestige of the Ming army, and he will definitely not accept surrender in the first battle of the captives.
"Kong Er was stunned, pull out a hundred Italian cannons of Lao Tzu, divide them into three groups, and destroy this bird city for me!" Liu Hong gradually no longer hesitated to give an order to Kong Erzi, who had been promoted to guerrilla in the artillery battalion.
Liu Hong's siege has never brought equipment such as rushing cars and ladders, and the traditional siege method is too consuming of troops.
His siege method is very simple, three words, boom, boom, this time he didn't say anything else, only the cannon brought a hundred guns.
In the cabins of more than a dozen large ships, in addition to the artillery, there are rows of neatly stacked shells, and then there are 100,000 grenades, which is his confidence.
Although the city of Yizhou is known as the first strong city of the border town of North Korea, but the city defense and Shanhaiguan are not half a star, the city wall as a whole is piled up with blue bricks, the width is not more than a zhang, basically with the county seat with more population in the pass.
"Humble duty!" Kong Er was stunned and shouted, and walked towards his subordinates.
Kong Erzi was stunned and chose the city gate, as well as the two sides of the city gate as the main direction of attack, and a hundred artillery pieces were divided into three groups, each group was divided into three rows of ten guns each.
As soon as the brief order was issued, the five or six thousand household officers and deputy thousand household officers of the artillery battalion immediately went into action.
Boom Boom - Moments later, the artillery queue in the direction of the city gate opened fire first, and only ten shells blasted several holes in the gates of the city around the city, revealing the blockage of masonry behind the gates.
The continuous cannon fire made the Tartars on the city wall, who were already small, panic, and Soma's face turned pale.
As the first city on the border of North Korea, Yiju City also has eighteen city defense guns, but this cannon is also like chicken ribs compared with the cannon in Liu Hongji's army under the city.
How far can a medium Furlong gun, which is decades behind, hit?
"Pash, when will reinforcements from Yongbyon City arrive?" Soma hid on the edge of the gate tower and said to the deputy behind him.
Yongbyon Castle is the capital of Pyongan Province, and it was Amasoni of Soma who was in charge of guarding the city.
"General, please send out reinforcements last night, and if Sony-sama learns about it and immediately reinforces it, it will take two hours at the earliest."
"Pass the order, let those slave soldiers go to the wall to defend the city, and my warriors of the Qing Dynasty will stand by in the city!" Soma bit blood from her lower lip.
The city wall of Yiju City is not wide, it can only accommodate five rows of soldiers in parallel, and there is no place to hide under the artillery bombardment, looking at the subordinates who were beaten by broken bricks and their faces are covered with blood, Soma smashed his fist on the pillar of the city gate tower.
He had only 1,000 warriors of the Eight Banners, and in addition to 8,000 Korean slaves in the city, the generals of these slave soldiers were all nobles who surrendered to the Korean state.
You have to hold on for two more hours, Soma said to herself.
Boom Boom Boom –
"Protect the general, ah-" Several shells bombarded the gate tower of Uiju Castle, knocking several holes in the side of the gate tower.
A pile of collapsed beams fell from the city gate tower, and Soma's guards quickly pushed him away, but he didn't dodge, and was instantly smashed by the wood and made no sound.
"Hahaha, give me a bang, your ten cannons will be responsible for lifting the city gate building for me!" Kong Er was stunned to see that the quasi-heads of these subordinates were good, and said while laughing.
Liu Hongjian held a telescope in his hand and rushed to the head of the city of Yiju to watch, after the defenders of the city head were replaced by Korean soldiers, they were already in chaos, and the Korean generals had to personally go into battle to cut down the subordinates who wanted to escape.
They had to work hard, and all their families were detained in Wangjing long before they went on the expedition, and if this war was lost, neither Dai Shan nor the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would let them go.
"My lord, Kong Guerrilla said that a hundred cannons are fired at once, just give him an hour, and he can collapse the wall of Yizhou!" A herald came to report on the situation.
"It's too slow, this king doesn't want to bask in the sun here, Chang Yu!" Liu Hong gradually shook his head, he became black charcoal after three months of drying outside the customs for three months during the Northern Expedition, and his wife almost didn't recognize him when he returned home.
"Humble duty!" Chang Yu was on standby.
"Are the grenadiers all assembled?" Liu Hong said gradually.
"Back to my lord, fifty grenadiers have been assembled last night, just waiting for my lord's order!" Chang Yu's face was full of excitement.
"So what are you waiting for? Lin He, you take 3,000 musketeers to suppress the thieves at the head of the city, Chang Yu is in charge of the grenadier car, and I will bombard him hard! ”
