    Chapter 501: Landing in Incheon and raiding Seoul (second update)

    The artillery of the navy is different from that of the army. Due to the inconvenience of movement, the artillery of the Taiwan Army is now all with a caliber of less than 80 mm.  []

    (Free download of full text e-book) Even so, the cold weapon troops are still in despair.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    So under the bombardment of tens of thousands of artillery shells, the entire Busan City almost became a hell.  The location of the North Korean defenders in Busan became the focus of the shelling and was basically completely wiped out.  Seeing this situation, the North Korean Navy rushed towards the First Fleet like crazy, but they were easily sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

    After more than 10,000 naval officers came ashore, they first eliminated all the resistance forces in Busan and controlled all important places in Busan City.  What's even more amazing is that as soon as they entered Busan, the Taiwanese army drove the Koreans around Busan onto navy transport ships and transported them to other parts of Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

    At the same time, other warships of the First Fleet began to attack the coastline and frantically bombarded the cities in southern North Korea. The situation in North Korea was in chaos, and a large number of coastal people fled north.

    After receiving the news that Busan had been conquered and that Taiwan was bombing cities along the southern coast, King Li Ju of North Korea, who was in Seoul, immediately summoned ministers to discuss countermeasures.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away  Under this desperate situation, Li Jian had no choice but to continuously increase troops to northern North Korea in order to keep Taiwan's army in the north.

    But this kind of effort

    The effect is not obvious, and Taiwan¡¯s army is still moving southward steadily.  In the face of Taiwan's muskets and artillery, North Korea has already suffered losses of nearly 400,000 troops. Of course, most of these troops have become prisoners of Taiwan and contributed to the construction of Liaodong.

    Nowadays, people in North Korea are panicking about the Taiwanese army pressing the border. But as if God doesn¡¯t think North Korea is not miserable enough, the Taiwanese navy even shelled the cities on the southern coast and sent troops to capture Busan.  This once again stirred the nerves of North Korea.

    North Korea is in internal and external troubles at this time, and Ming Dynasty could originally be relied upon.  But now, Ming Dynasty cannot protect itself, and even if it wants to rescue it, it is unable to do so.

    "However, the strength of Taiwan's military has made North Korea's domestic attitude toward Taiwan inconsistent.  Many North Korean ministers once again proposed to seek peace with Taiwan, and proposed that Taiwan cancel its attack on North Korea through reconciliation.

    However, many sober people know that Taiwan is going to destroy North Korea this time.  They strongly opposed suing for peace and asked Li Zhu to actively prepare for war and mobilize the entire Korean people to fight against Taiwan to the end.

    It¡¯s easy to say that it¡¯s easy to mobilize the people of North Korea.  In this world, the profession of emperor is the most suspicious.  Even if the enemy has arrived at their doorstep, they must remain sufficiently vigilant against their subjects and people.

    Therefore, Li Zhu rejected one of the proposals and adopted a compromise plan. While suing for peace, he conscripted troops on a large scale in North Korea.

    After spending hundreds of years of accumulation of the North Korean royal family, North Korea formed an army of more than 500,000 people, increasing the number of North Korean troops to 800,000.

    But only God knows how powerful these farmers who have just put down their hoes are.

    With enough troops, Li Zhu concentrated the more than 800,000 troops in the north and south directions, bringing the number of troops in the north to 300,000 and in the south to 250,000.  In addition, there are more than 200,000 people in Seoul and several other important cities.

    In Li Zhu¡¯s view, in the face of an army of more than 800,000 people, even Taiwan must consider whether it is worthwhile to continue to be tough on North Korea.

    "However, this has reached the limit of the military strength that North Korea can bear. If this cannot repel Taiwan and force Taiwan to accept North Korea's peace proposal, then Li Jian can really only mobilize the entire North Korea and mobilize all the people.

    But he no longer had this opportunity. Although the number of troops stationed in Seoul had increased, their combat effectiveness had become smaller.  Moreover, most of North Korea's military forces are concentrated at the north and south ends of North Korea. As long as these troops are eaten, North Korea will completely lose its resistance.

    During the period, his arrangement achieved the expected goal, and Guo Yong issued the order to land in Incheon.

    On the second day of May, 120,000 troops from the southern and western battlefields to reinforce the eastern battlefield landed in Incheon on troop transports.

    The sea surface was calm that day, and the sea surface near Incheon was very calm.The Korean people still go out to sea to fish without knowing anything about it.  But at about ten o'clock in the morning, hundreds of huge ships appeared on the southern sea.

    They had never seen so many ships that most North Koreans ran out and stood on the coast to watch this unprecedented event.

    Of course, ordinary people can be so unwary, but the North Korean navy cannot be the same. The naval general immediately led hundreds of North Korean boats to approach, intending to prevent the troop transport ship from docking.

    However, the First Fleet only dispatched ten warships. In just over ten minutes, they sank all the small ships of the North Korean Navy, which were only two to three hundred tons at most. Even the small ships known for their strong defense capabilities  Turtle ships are no exception.

    The rumbling sound of artillery, the sinking of hundreds of North Korean navy warships, and the sea surface dyed red by the North Korean navy made the North Korean people who had been waiting and watching realize that the enemy was coming.  They began to flee crazily, causing chaos throughout Incheon.

    There were more than 40,000 Incheon defenders. They came to the beach as soon as possible and organized defenses with the intention of preventing the Taiwanese army from landing.  However, after a burst of shelling by the navy, they suffered huge casualties and could only escape from the port and entered Incheon City with the intention of holding on.  At the same time, people were sent to warn Seoul.

    After gaining control of the sea in Incheon, the Second Division first landed on the coast and quickly surrounded the entire Incheon. At the same time, it cleared all obstacles on the coast to make subsequent landings of the army more convenient.

    In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, the second batch of landing troops was 36,000 cavalry troops.  As soon as they landed in Incheon, they quickly bypassed Incheon and charged towards Seoul as quickly as possible.

    Although the entire landing process lasted nearly four hours, when the cavalry arrived in Seoul, Li Jian had just learned that the Taiwanese army had landed in Inchon. Before he could convene the ministers for discussion, he heard the sound of the galloping cavalry.

    When Li Zhu realized what had happened, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.  After the general in charge of Seoul's defense reported that more than 30,000 Taiwanese cavalry had surrounded Seoul, Li Jie's face turned pale.

    "Your Majesty, we must evacuate Seoul. Before Taiwan's follow-up army arrives, I am willing to lead an army to escort Your Majesty to break out of the encirclement."
