Chapter 417 Returning to Anton in the first battle
In the end, the King of Goryeo agreed to Li Shangshu Ling's suggestion and raised the national tax by 10%. This seemingly simple 10% was tantamount to the boundary between life and death for ordinary people, but the people, after all, were
The people can only bear it silently, but they dare not speak out in anger.
But it has to be said that the King of Goryeo was well aware of the talents of the officials, so the mission of going to Japan as an envoy finally fell on the shoulders of Bongshan doctor Zheng Mongzhou. So, three days later, Zheng Mongzhou even though he had 10,000 people in his heart
Although he disagreed, he was forced by the king's order and had to board a sailboat sailing to the Japanese country to go on a mission to the Japanese country.
But before he went on his mission, the first battle between Daliang and Goryeo had already started in Anton...
"The flag order soldiers pass my order! The artillery battalion fires -!!!"
"fire--!!"
"fire--!!"
………………
The roars accompanied by the flags conveyed Wu Qidao's generals to the artillery camp, and also to the Xingtian camp high in the sky. The Xingtian camp then conveyed the flag order to the other three camps. For a time, thousands of people
The cannons fired together, and the flames suddenly appeared! Countless shells hit Anton City with a long tail sound!
The Goryeo soldiers inside were still arguing about what the giant ball floating in the sky was. It wasn't until they saw bursts of fire and layers of smoke rising from the mountains in the distance that they hurriedly raised their eyebrows at the Goryeo soldiers under the city wall.
The voice shouted: "Bombardment——!! Bombardment——!!!"
But even if we knew it was a shelling, what was the point?
Where else could they hide...?
Did you dig three feet into the ground and bury yourself?
"boom--!!"
"Bang——!!!"
"boom--!!!"
……………………
Cannonballs exploded in the city! Flowers of flame leaped into the sky!
The shrapnel flying everywhere with the sound of the explosion devoured all life around him in the blink of an eye! The huge air wave destroyed countless bricks and mud walls.
Although the Goryeo generals guarding the city immediately issued the order to fire back, the "primitive" cast-iron cannon, which did not even have smoothbore technology, only fired dozens of iron balls in a hurry, and then watched helplessly.
It hit the ground thousands of meters away from the enemy, and brought up bursts of dust as it rolled...
"It's impossible to reach it——!! General——!!!"
Desperate shouts hit the guard's eardrums. The guard gritted his teeth and could only make a final bold attempt:
"Raise the muzzle! Shoot at an elevation! Shoot as far as you can -!!!"
"yes!!"
The soldiers responded and were about to deliver the order when they saw a cannonball explode on the city wall! In an instant, the wall collapsed! Countless Korean artillerymen, together with their crudely made artillery, were buried in bricks and stones. The huge impact and wind pressure
, and even pushed a group of soldiers who were caught off guard off the city wall several feet high and fell into a pile of mud!!
Wu Qidao, on the other hand, was drinking hot tea in his artillery camp, raising his binoculars from time to time to take a look, then he happily put down the tea bowl, pointed at the general and shouted: "Give me another cup!" ⑧①ZW

The shelling lasted only twenty minutes
But these short twenty minutes not only brought an end to the lives of countless Goryeo soldiers, but also caused the three walls of Andong to collapse and be destroyed...
But this is not important to Wu Qidao
In this age of firearms, city walls... will only affect the formation of the army, and will not serve any purpose. They might as well be blown to pieces!
"Send the order! Stop the bombardment, replace with lime bombs, and do one round of bombardment!"
"Lime bombs! One shelling—!!"
"Lime bombs! One round of shelling-!!!"
As Wu Qidao's order spread, the artillery in the artillery camp gradually returned to calm, and the hustle and bustle on the battlefield also gained a moment of peace.
But...it's only for a moment...
When thousands of Goryeo soldiers survived the bombardment and staggered out of the rubble, weeping and congratulating each other, looking for their own firecrackers, thousands of lime bombs suddenly exploded above their heads!
The white mist of death...
At first, these soldiers only heard the explosion in the dust mist filled with the rubble of the house, and did not realize that the white mist in the air was different from the dust around them. Then, there were countless screams and shouts, fear, and drama.
Pain and burning slowly submerged their last sanity, and countless Goryeo soldiers could only blindly wander around the city, begging to find a corner to escape their suffering.
But in the end, nothing was found, and the only thing waiting for them was death...
"The infantry battalions collectively fixed their bayonets and charged in formation——!!"
As the last general exited, Wu Qidao himself took over a Warwick rifle equipped with a sniper scope from the soldiers and joined the front line of the infantry battalion...
When Yan Bing brought these sniper rifles from Yingxian Academy to Tongshun Camp, many school officers made suggestions to let the soldiers practice and familiarize themselves with the new weapons before going to the battlefield, but Yan Bing rejected them with a wave of his hand.
According to her original words, instead of wasting a very short time and material resources in the military camp to kill the target, it is better to go to the battlefield to practice with "living targets", grow faster, and understand the weapons at hand more deeply.
Therefore, now it is not so much a charge to occupy the city, but more like a shooting competition. All the soldiers are standing on the same starting line, slowly groping for the meaning of the "scale" drawn in the scope...

The soldiers silently recited the mantra taught to them by the colonel, and took unified steps to get closer and closer to the target. After entering the four hundred strides, Wu Qidao finally gave the order to "fire", and countless rounds of bullets followed.
With the sound of gunfire and the sound of wind, like cutting wheat, they swept away the Korean soldiers near the city head!
The battle-hardened and smooth soldiers did not hesitate at all. After firing the first shot, they quickly leaned over to reload, while the second row walked to the front without stopping and fired another round, followed by the third row.
, and then it’s the first row’s turn, again and again, in an orderly manner.
Two completely opposite scenes appeared on the battlefield.
On one side, there is an orderly queue, shooting practice, and weapon training.
On the other side, rats were scurrying around, crying and screaming, with feces and urine flowing freely.
The Goryeo soldiers, who already lacked the will to fight, had completely fallen into a state of no command, no thinking, and no rationality after the previous 20 minutes of shelling.
Some Koreans who could barely see the situation did not hesitate at all, so they chose to throw down the firecrackers in their hands, abandon their comrades, and ran madly towards the east gate. From the cracks in the city wall, broken pieces of
Step through and climb through the city gate.
They jumped directly into the boundary river. The moment they entered the water, the quicklime on their bodies once again triggered violent burning. Even though there were few intact skins left around them, they just instinctively swam desperately towards the other side of the river. There, there was
Their country, their home, if they had known that it would end like this, even if they were forced to do so with a knife, they would not have thought of surrendering to the army.
At this moment, the trophies and gold and silver treasures they snatched from the Beizhen tribe have become meaningless. They just want to live, just keep this life and survive, but this treaty has a two-kilometer-wide boundary river.
If you want to swim there by human power, how many people can do it?
What's more, the pursuers behind me have arrived. I hate these thieves who bully the weak and take advantage of the enemy! It's just a good time to vent the anger in my heart and hone my marksmanship at the same time! It's so fun!!
