The eastern horizon has already shown a touch of fish belly white. The sun is hidden under the horizon, giving the earth on the horizon a golden edge.
The black earth, the deep blue sky, the faint fish belly white on the horizon, and the few stars in the sky constitute the most beautiful scenery before the war.[]
The army that trekked all night finally arrived outside Incheon County before dawn.
The dark army stood less than a mile outside the city, as silent as water. In the distance, the dilapidated city walls of Incheon County only contained small-scale broken walls.
The city wall made of rammed earth is full of traces of wind and rain. Some places have even collapsed. From the collapsed places, several households in the county can be seen.
Why is Incheon County, located on the front line of Haiphong, like this?
Outside the Chinese army camp, Duan Peng took back his telescope and muttered in his heart. In his imagination, this Incheon County should be heavily guarded and impregnable, but how could it be so defeated?
"Are we going in the wrong direction?" Duan Peng pointed to the crumbling city wall and the sparse defensive force, and asked suspiciously the nightingale next to him who was wearing a Korean costume.
This Nightingale was met on the way. At that time, this guy was wearing a Korean military uniform and was sneaking around. He was almost shot by the vanguard. It was not until he spoke a standard Henan dialect that he escaped.
Later, he was taken back to the camp by the vanguard and showed the Nightingale Squad's unique badge, and the misunderstanding was completely eliminated.
Although this guy kept saying that he was only responsible for leading the way, when he saw this person, Duan Peng finally understood why the military advisor had vowed to tell him that if Incheon was captured, someone would send a team of cavalry.
Presumably, these Nightingale troops hidden in every corner of Goryeo have already known the movements of the Goryeo-Japanese coalition forces, including their logistics and material reserves.
No wonder the military advisor always talks about the saying, "Information comes first before the troops are moved" when talking about war. Now, after seeing the drawings of the enemy's troop deployment in Incheon that Nightingale brought out, Duan Peng finally
I understand why military advisors keep emphasizing the importance of reporting.
With this deployment map, future battles can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, coupled with the basically undefended city wall, the first battle of this large army on the Goryeo territory seems a bit strange no matter how you look at it.
"General, don't be surprised. This is how Incheon is." When Nightingale first came here, she was also confused. However, after staying here for such a long time, she became accustomed to the poverty of Goryeo. He pointed to the city wall and said: "Goryeo
In this place, the land is barren, there are many mountains, and there is simply not enough food to eat. In addition, the King of Goryeo is incompetent and eager to achieve great success. He has been building his own palace regardless of the life and death of the local people. Haha, the local finances cannot keep up, and this is what happened!
"
Duan Pengruo nodded with enlightenment, looked at the dilapidated and defeated city defense, snorted, and sneered: "He is really an ignorant and ignorant king!"
Nightingale nodded and smiled: "My lord, you are right. The King of Korea is indeed an unprincipled and ignorant king!"
"But!" Nightingale then added: "This person has great experience in winning over people's hearts and controlling the people!"
"Several generations of Goryeo kings have been here and have managed Goryeo like an iron barrel. In Goryeo, the king is the supreme god. And the people who have been brainwashed are like believers. Therefore, such a country is very dangerous.
!" Nightingale said with lingering fear: "Back then, my subordinates went through a lot of hardships to sneak in here, and because they said the wrong thing, they were almost executed by Lingchi!"
"A mad emperor who rules millions of mad people is indeed very dangerous!" Duan Peng repeated Lu Heng's words, nodding as if he had some understanding.
"Yes, sir, look..." Nightingale pointed to the dilapidated city defense and the poor county town and said: "Although it looks like a general defense, there are actually military presences inside!"
Seeing General Duan's confusion, Nightingale smiled bitterly and explained: "The 20,000 people in that city are actually soldiers!"
Hearing this, Duan Peng looked solemn and nodded slightly: "I understand."
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are there no one of you in the city?"
"There are still some who are preparing to serve as internal agents to welcome the general!" Nightingale looked at General Duan in confusion, not understanding why he asked this.
Duan Peng nodded, took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at Nightingale, and said calmly: "Go back now and ask your people to evacuate the county immediately. In half an hour, artillery fire will completely cover the county.
By the time……"
Duan Peng laughed ferociously, his eyes narrowed, his palm was like a knife, and he swung it down violently. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said to Nightingale: "Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
"Ah?" After hearing the murderous words of this tough general, Nightingale, who was used to killing people, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She stared blankly at General Duan, who had a ferocious smile on his face.
"Hurry up and go!" Duan Peng glared at him angrily and kicked him on the butt. "Yes, yes, yes!" Nightingale nodded hurriedly, turned around, spread her legs, and walked towards him in a hurry.
The city ahead rushes away.
Duan Peng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Nightingale successfully sneaking into Incheon County. He turned his head and said to the messenger behind him: "Let the artillery prepare!"
"Yes!" the ordering soldier responded with clasped fists, turned around and headed towards the artillery position behind the brigade. There was an open area behind the brigade.
The artillerymen were panting and sitting on the ground to rest. Some were already exhausted and lying on the ground, snoring. Beside them, there were more than a hundred black iron pipes. These iron pipes were larger than those of adults.
The thighs are thicker, dark, and shimmering with a dull cold color.
When the soldiers around him saw the soldier staggering and sleeping on the ground, no one laughed at him. After all, no one could bear to carry something over a hundred kilograms and march for such a long distance.
However, these guys were stingy. Several times, the accompanying infantry saw how hard they were working and wanted to help. These guys, like a group of misers, held the iron pipe with a vigilant look on their faces. Just follow them.
As if trying to steal their things.
Just kidding, the military strategist said that this Goryeo War was a world of artillery, and the military strategist also said that they would be the gods of land warfare in the future.
How can you let someone else claim such an awesome title?
Tired, but my heart is sweet!
Once upon a time, they were jokingly called the people who treat iron pipes as their wives. Now, as the war is about to begin, it is time to show off their glory. The artillerymen lie on the ground, sleeping soundly with their pillows on the iron pipes. In their sleep, they can't help but moan.
Smiling proudly.
Suddenly, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded, and it immediately spread to every corner of the military camp.
"Level 1 preparation, get up and get ready!" The battalion officer of the artillery battalion was a fat man. After receiving the order from the messenger, this guy immediately ran back and saw his subordinates lying on the ground.
While sleeping, he suddenly became furious.
Kicking their butts and yelling loudly as they walked.
Hearing the battalion officer's scolding, the soldiers who were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly quickly got up, wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths, and looked at the fat battalion officer with blank expressions.
"What are you still doing? Prepare for the first level and be quick as hell." The fat man was running around the camp while urging the soldiers to set up the gun mount and adjust the angle.
Seeing the fat man rolling back and forth in the camp like a meat ball, the onlookers couldn't help laughing.
"You're just laughing, I might as well tell you. In half an hour, the first landing battle will begin with us. Then, you will just wait to eat ashes, haha!" The fat man smiled proudly and glanced at those who curled their lips provocatively.
The infantry then twisted their buttocks and returned to the center of the position.
The artillerymen, who had been trained for more than twenty days, showed good quality and training results at this time. After hearing the commander's order, these soldiers who were still confused just now, almost out of habit, moved quickly
The gun barrel was attached to the gun mount.
For a moment, a crunching sound resounded throughout the land acquisition.
In the surprised eyes of more and more onlookers, the more than a hundred black gun barrels were slowly raised. Like a forest, the steel soldiers exuded a cold aura, making the onlookers gradually also
The sound disappeared.
Everyone looked at this weird weapon, full of expectations for its power.
"Load the shells!" The fat officer, standing behind a row of cannons, shouted loudly.
"Load the shells!"
"Load the shells!"
Following the echoes of the ordering soldiers from each turret, the roaring sound spread throughout the artillery positions.
"Ended on the 1st!"
"No. 2 is over!"
"End on the ninety-nine!"
"Filling of number 100 is complete!"
"Get ready to light the fire!" The fat officer saw the envious looks of the infantrymen around him and felt proud. He coughed, waved his hand gently, and said to the messenger beside him.
"Prepare to light the fire!" Orders rang out one after another, and then, soldiers beside the turret were seen lighting torches and standing behind the cannon.
"Light the fire!" The fat battalion officer was so proud that he was enjoying the envy, jealousy and hatred of the infantry. He forgot General Duan's order for a while. He waved his hand and roared loudly and arrogantly.
"ignition!"
The torch lit the fuse, and behind the cannons, the burning fuses emitted wonderful sparks, falling one after another, like a swarm of fireflies.
boom…···
The fuse burned out, and the cannon on the far left made a loud bang. The ground shook.
The huge sound made the ears of the gunners and onlookers ring.
However, no one plugged their ears. They all raised their heads and looked at the cannonballs that were fired from the cannon and streaked across the night sky like comets. With their long tails, they fell accurately towards the Incheon County in front of them.
.
Boom boom boom...
After the first artillery was fired, the artillery lined up in a row fired one after another. More than a hundred artillery shells, trailing long tails of red flames, crossed the sky under the already bright night sky and landed in Incheon County.
Outside Incheon County, a dozen members of Nightingale stood panting outside the city wall, with their hands on their hips and panting breathlessly.
"No, it's not even half an hour!" Nightingale, who took the lead, swallowed, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at his brother lying on the ground like a dead dog next to him.
"No, no, it hasn't taken even a moment!" The Nightingale replied breathlessly. After hearing what the boss said, the brothers ran out of the city without saying a word. They were so frightened that they were almost tired.
die!.
"Okay, that's it... Hey, what is that?" The leading Nightingale just nodded when suddenly, a fireball falling from the sky attracted his attention.
