Chapter 958: The Last Moment
Compared with the arduous siege battle, the street fighting in the city was much simpler, and in just two days, the Pingzhou army occupied all the outer city areas.
The inner city wall was breached on the third day, or it was abandoned by Park Eun on his own initiative.
He no longer has any troops in his hands, and the army of more than 10 million people has dissipated in just two or three days, and the inner city wall does not have the energy barrier of the outer city wall, so there is basically no point in defense. In fact, the war has reached the point where North Korea can be said to have lost completely. It's just that Park Eun has a tough personality and always refuses to admit defeat.
Before, he wanted to burn the whole city of Pyongyang with a fire, and burn all the jade. Unfortunately, his control over the army was no longer enough to sustain him in this kind of activity. Most of the soldiers who were forcibly recruited were residents of Pyongyang, and it was a bit difficult for them to set fire to their homes.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shang Ji personally led an elite army to the Joseon royal palace at the core of Pyongyang City, where Park Eun-jeong led the last 70,000 elites to hold on.
These troops are elite in the true sense, and they are not the same as the cannon fodder that was about to collapse before, they are all the personal guards of Park Eun himself, enjoying the top treatment, having the most tenacious will to fight, and the combat effectiveness is naturally beyond doubt.
It can be said that they are the last essence of the entire North Korea, and it is not false to pull them out and face off head-on with the same number of black armor Xuanqi!
At the peak of Park Eun's time, there were 300,000 such guards, which were the cornerstone of Pak Eun's rule over North Korea, but unfortunately after successive national wars and wars between the two Koreas, there were only more than 70,000 people left in the Royal Forest Army at this time.
Because of the terrain restrictions, there are not many Pingzhou troops responsible for attacking the palace, all of them add up to about 200,000, in front of the main gate of the palace, the two armies face each other, one side is full of morale, the other side is full of grief and anger but is mourning, a bloody battle is about to break out!
At this moment, Yi Sunsin rode out on his horse and shouted, "Pu Shun, release His Majesty the King immediately, and then lead the people to surrender." If this is the case, the king of the Heavenly Dynasty can still spare your life, otherwise you will be broken into thousands of pieces!! ”
Originally, there was no such scene, but Yi Sunsin begged bitterly, and there was a group of Korean historical generals who had just surrendered to watch from the sidelines, and Shang Ji couldn't refuse too bluntly, so he could only give Yi Sunsin a chance to surrender.
It's just that Yi Sunsin is okay to command the battle, but it is a little difficult to do the technical work of recruiting and surrendering, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he almost eliminates the possibility of Pak Eun's surrender, and those who don't know may think that Shang Ji wants to kill the Korean puppet king with a knife!
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Yi Sun-sin was responded to by a series of somber laughs, and then a chubby, cheerful-looking man appeared under the protection of a group of elite guards.
"Pu Yi!"
As soon as Yi Sunsin saw this person, he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"Hurry up and let go of Your Majesty and surrender, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will break you into thousands of pieces!!"
"Your Majesty? Do you mean him? ”
Park Eun clapped his hands lightly, and saw several guards pressing a little guy in a red royal robe, and then pointed to the frightened face of the Korean king and asked.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Sunsin looked at it fixedly, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted anxiously.
"Li Sunsin, I have always heard that you are loyal and righteous, as long as you kill Shang Ji and hand over his head to me, I will release Li Hongwei, how about it?"
Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others behind Shang Ji were furious when they heard this, and they wanted to step forward, but they stopped at Shang Ji's signal.
Yi Sunsin was stunned for a moment, but he reacted only in an instant, pointed at Park Yin and scolded angrily: "Pu Shun, abandoning weapons and surrendering is your only way to survive, don't be obsessed, let your majesty go!" ”
Although Yi Sunsin is a little stupid and loyal, he has not lost his IQ as a top general. Not to mention that the success rate of his current rebellion to kill Shang Ji is infinitely close to zero, even if he is really greedy for heaven and succeeds, is it possible that Pu Yin will keep his promise and let Li Hongwei go?
Take 10,000 steps back, even Park Eun is brainless, and if he really lets Li Hongwei go, surrounded by millions of Pingzhou troops, where can Li Sunsin take Li Hongwei? When the time comes, the vengeful Pingzhou army will not chop them into pulp!
"Yi Sunsin, is this your loyalty? Where is your loyalty when you take refuge in the invaders to attack your own capital and let the king you are loyal to die in front of you? ”
At this moment, Yi Sunsin was ashamed, such as how to clear his name and how to justify, the Pyongju army was a real aggressor, and his service to the Pyeongju army was the standard "traitor", which was exposed by Park Eun in person, and Yi Sunsin was so ashamed and angry that he ignored the meaning of Park Eun's sentence "The loyal king died in front of him".
Just when Yi Sunsin was caught in a demon and couldn't extricate himself, Park Eun suddenly pulled out the matching sword he was carrying, ignored Li Hongwei's frightened gaze, and struck him with a sneer!
This scene stunned everyone, not to mention Li Sunsin, even Shang Ji and other Pingzhou generals were a little dumbfounded. I really don't understand why Pu Yin wanted to kill Li Hongwei in front of everyone at this juncture, which is not good for him at all!
"Ah!!h
Looking at Li Hongwei's headless corpse, Li Sunsin first stayed for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly let out a heart-rending scream, and then rushed straight to Park Yin's army regardless of it.
"Woohoo!"
Yi Sunsin was greeted by a dense rain of arrows!
Under the rain of arrows, Yi Sunsin roared wildly, and a burst of dazzling golden light erupted from his body, and the qi surrounded his body, rushing towards Park Yinjun like a cannonball.
All the arrows were shattered by the qi, and none of them could hurt him. Park Eun on the opposite side smiled disdainfully, and immediately a brigade of well-trained elite soldiers stepped forward and consciously blocked Yi Sunsin.
A top-level military general can indeed be fearless of the rain of arrows in a short period of time, but the consumption of this combat method is very amazing, except for Lu Bu Shangji, no one has been able to survive fifteen minutes in this state. Shang Ji himself could have been able to maintain a longer recovery speed with the metamorphosis of the Dragon and Tiger Roar, but it was meaningless, and no one in the entire army would agree to him risking his life like this.
Yi Sun-sin rushed into Park Eun's army alone, which was completely a standard suicide attack. What he is facing is not those cannon fodder armies that are about to collapse at the touch of a button, but the elite soldiers who can compete head-on with the Black Armor Xuancai, not to mention him, even if he changes Lu Bu to do so, it is a dead end.
"Hey!"
Shang Ji sighed and ordered the entire army to attack!
If Yi Sunsin really died in this way, it would be a major blow to morale. In any case, Yi Sunsin was a nominal high-ranking general of the Pyongju army, and watching him die in battle without going to the rescue would seriously dampen the morale of the army and the personal reputation of the merchants, and those Korean generals who surrendered were also prone to a sense of sorrow, which was not conducive to future rule.
"General Li, don't worry, I'll come and help you break the thief!"
Under the instruction of Shang Ji, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Wang Shu, Guo Biao, Liu Meng, and Qin Ping (Zhao Yun and they had already rushed back from South Korea) six fierce generals rode out and shouted as they walked.
With such a voice, the image of Yi Sunsin's desperate efforts to create a loyal mission to the disaster disappeared, and there was a kind of flattery that he desperately showed after surrendering.
Fortunately, Yi Sunsin's mind was in a state of madness at this time, and he didn't notice their shouts, otherwise he would have vomited blood in anger.
