Chapter 589: The future king of North Korea is also crazy
The bandit army was indeed the first to attack the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard was caught off guard and several people were killed. The Hu Ben Army, which was stationed with the Imperial Guard, immediately counterattacked, and killed more than a dozen bandits, suppressing the offensive of the bandits. Originally, the bandit army wanted to sneak attack Incheon Port, but after the gunfire sounded, the sneak attack turned into a strong attack.
According to Gao Yu's comprehensive observation, the number of the thief army was large, with about 3,000 people, and they were indeed trying to break through from the north. Therefore, the area where the Hu Ben Army focused on the defense was also in the north of Incheon Port. All the roads outside the Hu Ben Army generals entered Incheon Port were blocked. At all commanding heights, snipers were also arranged.
Although it was night at this time, around the Xu hour, the moonlight was very bright. Today is the night of December 13, and the moon was basically full. I don’t know if the foreign moon was particularly round. Anyway, the visibility tonight was indeed very good. In an empty place, it looked like daytime, and even the cracks between the stone slabs could be clearly seen.
Zhang Jun stood on a stone, raised a thousand-mile mirror, and carefully observed the movements of the bandit army. To the north of Incheon Port was a field. Since it was December, there were no crops planted in the fields, which seemed empty and desolate. When they arrived, the bandit army was launching a powerful attack. About two thousand bandit army tried to cross the fields and rushed towards Incheon Port.
The thief army in the camera is a regular North Korean army. In fact, Zhang Zhun has never seen a regular North Korean army. The people in front of him are different from the imperial guards of Qingyun Palace. However, their movements and postures fully demonstrate that they are professionally trained regular soldiers. The uniforms of the North Korean army are basically red. Under the moon, they are like groups of red big-headed ants, constantly rushing forward.
Zhang Zhun also observed carefully and found that the weapons and equipment of these thieves were not as good as the Shandong Ming army commanded by Zhu Dadian. After all, the Xia Kingdom was the Xia Kingdom, and after all, the Shang Kingdom was the Shang Kingdom. No matter how bad the army of the Ming Kingdom was, it would not be worse than the North Korean army. In this case, it would be unrealistic to expect North Korea to fight against the Tartars alone without the help of external forces.
The Hu Ben Army Marine Corps had already arranged defense here. When the thief army came up, the Hu Ben Army immediately fired. With the sound of gunshots, the thief army was constantly being killed in the fields. Zhang Zhun glanced casually and found that there were at least two hundred people in the thief army that were killed. However, the other thief army was still rushing upwards.
The officials of the North Korean side suddenly became nervous. The thief army of more than 2,000 people launched an attack together, and the momentum seemed very scary, especially for civil officials who rarely experienced the battle formation. At this moment, the moonlight was also pale and a little scary. The white moonlight shining on the big-headed red ant, and it felt a little weird no matter how you look at it.
The Imperial Guards, who are responsible for protecting the safety of the prince, are also a little nervous. Most of the weapons in their hands are three-eyed guns, as well as some Thunder guns and Bird guns. Such weapons are indeed good in North Korea. However, these weapons are obviously not enough to deal with enemies that are several times more than themselves.
"The prince..."
Yin Siming said hurriedly.
He wanted to take the prince away from the front line and to a safe place in the rear. However, he never thought about whether the prince's safety was guaranteed if the defense line was broken. If the prince was captured by the thief army and fell into Shen Qiyuan's hand, there would be more cards in Shen Qiyuan's hand. Whether the Tatars would use Li Jing to put pressure on Li Gun is also unknown.
"The prince..."
Park Ansung also persuaded him tactfully.
He also did not realize the difference between the prince here and the rear. This is probably the habitual thinking of all literati. They subconsciously felt that fighting had nothing to do with civil servants, that was the business of military generals. In fact, Li Jing's appearance on the front line still had a certain effect on the morale of the Imperial Guards. If Li Jing retreated, it would be a great reduction in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards.
Li Jing was unmoved. Of course, he did not have confidence in the Imperial Guards, but in Zhang Zhun. Because, under the moonlight, he could clearly see that under the attack of the Hu Ben Army, the thieves who were trying to rush up were constantly falling. The faster the thieves' attack, the faster the falling speed. In the dark, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them. Whoever ran the fiercest would be beaten to death the fastest.
The gunshots of the Hu Ben Army were heard in a circle, like burning firecrackers, full of inspiring power. Amid such a sound, Li Jing felt that he was very safe. He believed that the Hu Ben Army had enough power to defeat these thieves.
Zhang Zhun said confidently: "You two don't need to panic. With me here, the prince is safe and sound."
Yin Siming wanted to speak but stopped. Zhang Zhun's promise was obviously domineering, and Yin Siming didn't believe it. In their eyes, Zhang Zhun's status was of course not as good as the prince. After all, Zhang Zhun was just an outsider, while Li Jing was the next King of Korea. However, this guest was indeed not easy to mess with, and he did not dare to say anything directly to Zhang Zhun.
Park Ansung frowned and said, "Governor, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. After all, the front line is dangerous. Yashi is ruthless. Isn't it better if you and the prince come to the back to command?"
This statement is much more tactful. The reason for taking Zhang Jun and the prince away from the front line was very sufficient. Subconsciously, he regarded Zhang Jun as the same person as the prince. Who is? He is the one who has no power to catch a chicken in the thief army and only knows how to give orders in the back. There are too many commanders like the Ming army, no wonder Park An-sung has such habitual thinking.
Zhang Jun heard the hidden meaning in Park Ansung's words, smiled slightly, and waved his hand casually. Meng Xia handed him a spare tiger gun. Seeing Zhang Jun holding a gun, the North Korean officials around him changed their faces. They thought Zhang Jun was threatening them with a gun. Zhang Jun dared to fire a gun in the port, and what else he dared not do?
However, they obviously guessed wrong. If Zhang Zhun wanted to threaten them, how could he do it himself? To kill the North Korean Imperial Guards of hundreds of people, Zhang Zhun only needed to nod his mouth, and the people around him could complete it cleanly without leaving any hand and tail. Zhang Zhun raised the tiger gun casually, looked at the thief army in front of him, and then pulled the trigger quietly.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, a thief army in the distance fell to the ground.
The North Korean officials, including the prince, were slightly stunned and their eyes lit up. They really didn't expect that Zhang Zhun had such skills. They thought that Zhang Zhun was similar to other Ming Dynasty officials, and were good at commanding behind the scenes, but not good at charging into battle.
Zhang Zhun was not careful about his own results. After changing to a Hu Ben gun in an understatement, he raised his hand and shot again. His movements were simple and skillful, full of beauty.
"Bang!"
The gunshot came, and another thief army fell to the ground in the distance.
This time, the eyes of Li Yu, Yin Siming, Park Ansung and others became even brighter. The eyes of the prince Li Yu were particularly clear and bright, with a clear look of admiration. If Zhang Jun was lucky enough to hit the thief army in the first shot, he would be lucky, and continue to hit the second shot and explain it with luck, it would be absolutely impossible. This is definitely a real skill!
They had only heard that the Hu Ben Army could fight and were not even the opponent of the Tartars, but they had never seen it personally. They didn't know how capable the Hu Ben Army was, how powerful the Hu Ben Army was, and what extraordinary abilities Zhang Zhun had as the commander of the Hu Ben Army.
Now, they finally saw Zhang Zhun's power with their own eyes. He raised his hand and shot him and killed another enemy. What kind of killing efficiency is this? Even if the thief army continues to rush over, it is not enough for Zhang Zhun to massacre like this. No wonder even the brutal Tartars are not the opponent of Zhang Zhun, and they killed thousands of people in one battle.
Zhang Zhun wanted to fully demonstrate the prestige of the Celestial Kingdom in front of the Koreans and win back their confidence in the Ming Kingdom. Therefore, after two shots, he did not stop. He fired ten shots in a row and killed ten thieves in a row. The connection process between this was like flowing clouds and water, so skillful that he could not be more skillful.
Yin Siming, Park An-sung and others even had their eyes protruded. Li Jing's eyes emitted a light of admiration. Such a brave Ming general was comparable to Li Rusong and Ma Gui back then, and even better than them. The Ming generals that the Koreans admired the most were these two. If they hadn't fought desperately, the Koreans might have been annexed by the Japanese.
After ten shots, Zhang Zhuncai put down the Hu Ben gun as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Li Jing beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly: "Criminal, do you want to shoot two shots?"
Li Jing was in a state of excitement. Hearing this, he immediately subconsciously reached out his hand, trying to take the Hu Ben gun over. However, after a moment, he hesitated again, and retracted his hand, and asked with some concern: "Can I... work?"
Zhang Zhun said affirmatively: "Of course!"
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and took the Hu Ben gun.
Brigadier Zhang handed him the Hu Ben gun, reached out and pressed his shoulder, taught him to adjust his shooting posture, and said in a leisurely manner: "The butt is pressed against the shoulder hole with force, don't shake it. Hold it hard. The target, sightseeing, and the door are three points in a line, you just need to pull the trigger."
Li Jing's little face was swollen, a little nervous, and a little excited, because he held the Hu Ben Gun too hard, and his fingers were obviously white. If you listen carefully, you could still hear his breathing was a little slow, as if there was huge pressure to make him breathless.
Zhang Zhun encouraged and said, "Don't be nervous, hold your breath and stabilize your body."
Li Jing did it one by one,
Zhang Zhun saw that his posture was similar, then nodded and said, "Okay! Get the shot!"
Li Jing immediately pulled the trigger hard.
"Bang!"
The dull gunshot came, shaking everyone around.
The huge recoil obviously made Li Jing's body tilt. Fortunately, he pressed the buttress with his shoulder hole as Zhang Zhun's request. Therefore, his body was just tilted and then stabilized. Of course, the shoulder was hit with a little pain, which was inevitable. Adults who shot the Hu Ben gun for the first time were also inevitably suffering, and children were no exception.
Li Jing shot out, and a thief army in front staggered down. Zhang Zhun slapped his palms and said happily: "The prince is so good! He hits!"
In fact, judging from the time and posture of the thief army falling, they should have been hit by others. However, since Zhang Jun said that Li Jing had hit, it was Li Jing who hit. The people around Li Jing could not tell at all. The people around Zhang Jun who could tell naturally would not talk too much. Yin Siming, Park An-sung and others hurriedly congratulated Li Jing.
Of course, Li Jing couldn't tell it, and thought he had indeed hit it. Under the compliment of the officials around him, he seemed even more excited. For a moment, his little face turned red and he held the Hu Ben Gun firmly. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong, and he raised the Hu Ben Gun Gun again. When the Hu Ben Gun was raised, the muzzle was almost as high as his nose.
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Is there any strength to come again?"
Li Jing said with a little excitement: "Okay!"
Brigadier Zhang took his tiger gun over and replaced it with another one with ammunition loaded.
This time, without Zhang Zhun's reminder, Li Jing was able to make a shooting posture that was basically in line with the specifications. In fact, he had received musket shooting training before, but he was not as strict as others, and he had never personally gone to the battlefield. He only saw him aiming at the thief army in front of him in a good manner and then pulling the trigger. With previous experience, his pulling the trigger was not as strong.
"Bang!"
The dull gunshot came again.
This time, Li Jing hit the thigh. He hit the thief army not far away and supported it crookedly, trying to continue rushing upwards. It has to be said that this guy still has the courage to be fearless and even rushed up after being injured. As a result, a warrior from the Tiger Army shot him, and he silently lay on the ground and stopped moving.
Li Jing said a little disgusted: "He is Feng Gaobao!"
Zhang Zhun didn't know who Feng Gaobao was, so he subconsciously turned to look at Yin Siming.
Yin Siming was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he asked in a conditioned reflex: "Your Highness, are you sure it is Feng Gaobao?"
Li Jing clenched his fist and said affirmatively: "That's right! It's him! I recognize him!"
Yin Siming immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "The prince is indeed amazing! He killed one of the four kings beside Shen Qiyuan with one shot! It turned out that the thief army was led by him! No wonder!"
He then explained to Zhang Jun that Feng Gaobao was a famous general around Shen Qiyuan. He learned a lot of skills from somewhere and was most arrogant. In North Korea, this person has always been known for his cruelty and killing, cruel and ruthlessness, and has committed many crimes. However, due to Shen Qiyuan's protection, others have no choice but to do anything about him. If he guessed correctly, he would lead the thief army to the south and try to sneak attack Incheon Port. This person is very likely to be this person.
Unexpectedly, this man was shot to death by Li Jing. It was really a huge net, and it was not leaked. It would be a blessing to be able to die at Li Jing's hands. Well, Li Jing just hit the other party, and it was not fatal. However, if you count the military achievements on Li Jing's head, no one would have any opinions.
Brigadier General Zhang took back Hu Ben's gun and encouraged him: "The prince's performance was good. He killed Feng Gaobao with one shot. After he went back, he would definitely be praised by his father. In fact, there was nothing extraordinary about the thief army, and nothing extraordinary about the Tartars. They were all humans and could be killed."
Li Jing nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "You are right!"
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said earnestly: "As long as we have confidence, courage and determination, there are no problems that cannot be solved and no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
Li Jing nodded in a slight understanding.
When Zhang Zhun spoke, the gunshots in his ears never stopped. Feng Gaobao's death did not seem to have led to the defeat of the bandit army. After that, a large number of bandit army still wanted to rush up, but ended up being hit by the Tiger Ben Army Marines and snipers.
The battlefield was such a wide field and the moonlight was so bright that the Hu Ben Gun fully exerted its power. Under the dense shooting of Minnie bullets, the bandit army continued to fall. In the originally empty fields, many corpses of the bandit army were soon added.
"when!"
"when!"
"when!"
In less than half a stick of incense, the bandit army had to ring the gong of retreat. The remaining bandit army quickly turned around and retreated. If they did not retreat, they would all be hung here. From launching the attack to retreating, their vanguard was at least twenty feet away from the defense line of the Hu Ben Army.
However, even if they retreated, the snipers of the Hu Ben Army would not let them go. Amid the monotonous gunshots, the thieves continued to fall down. It was not until all the surviving thieves disappeared into the darkness that the gunshots slowly subsided.
Standing at the commanding heights, I saw only the fields outside, all the corpses of the thieves. The thieves came quickly and retreated quickly. Gao Yu and others went out to count their military achievements, and then captured the thieves who were not dead for interrogation. However, there was basically no need for interrogation. Because Feng Gaobao's body, who was beaten by Li Jing, was quickly dragged back.
After careful identification by North Korea, it was confirmed that it was one of the four great kings around Shen Qiyuan. Since Feng Gaobao appeared here, these thieves were of course all of Shen Qiyuan's subordinates. So Park An-sung ordered his head to be cut off and prepared to take it back to Seoul as evidence of his crime.
According to conservative estimates, the casualties of the bandit army should have exceeded 800. About 3,000 people came to the bandit army, and 800 people were killed before they were dispersed. Such combat power should be the elite of Shen Qiyuan's subordinates. The general Korean army obviously cannot support such casualties.
"Sir, the thief army has retreated. Should we pursue it?"
Liu Dong came up to ask for instructions.
“No need.”
Zhang Zhun shook his head gently.
These thieves were defeated and must have withdrawn to Pyongyang and to Shen Qiyuan's military camp. The Hu Ben Army wanted to eliminate the roots, and only by destroying all of Shen Qiyuan's army. Obviously, it was not yet that time.
"Arrange alerts and pay attention to sporadic thieves."
Zhang Zhun said with a reminder.
Liu Dong agreed to go.
Chapter completed!
