    Chapter 503 Bloody Seoul (first update)

    There are four city gates, each of which is defended by 6,000 cavalry, and two divisions of cavalry are mobile.  This arrangement could have been considered a good one.  []

    But when these 6,000 cavalrymen met the 80,000 North Korean troops who fought desperately to break through, it can be imagined that the pressure was very high.  After all, they wanted to block the opponent in Seoul. There was no need for guerrilla tactics and they could only intercept them head-on.

    When he observed that there were only 6,000 Taiwanese troops at the north gate, Li Jue decisively issued an order to break out.  The 80,000 North Korean troops rushed out of the city gate like a flood. They rushed madly at the 6,000 Taiwanese cavalry. Even three rounds of musket fire, resulting in 7,000 to 8,000 casualties, could not stop them from breaking through.

    "Submit a message immediately, the North Koreans are going to break out from the north gate!"

    Yan Jia, the commander of the 11th Cavalry Division responsible for blocking the North Gate, saw that something was wrong and immediately asked other cavalry divisions for help.

    "Brothers, if these Koreans are allowed to escape, then this battle will be a complete failure. And this failure will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame of our 11th Cavalry Division. Tell me, can you agree?"

    Seeing that the firepower density of the 11th Division was not strong enough and the Koreans had rushed within a hundred meters, Yan Jia loudly encouraged the morale of his men.

    "No, no, no! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

    What a true soldier takes as his life is glory. An army that loses its glory will be completely reduced to a third-rate army.

    Therefore, no matter when, an army that insists on its own glory will become stronger as it fights.  When the soldiers of the 11th Division saw that their firepower density was not enough and that the enemy's cavalry was about to attack them, they immediately put away their muskets, drew their sabers, and charged forward.

    Six thousand cavalry and six thousand warriors rushed towards the Koreans like an avalanche.  That kind of momentum made those Koreans who wanted to escape tremble in their hearts.

    When six thousand warriors collided with Koreans, swords flashed and blood spattered. Thousands of people lost their lives in unskilled attacks on each other, including Koreans and cavalrymen.  of the division soldiers.

    But the charge of the 11th Cavalry Division successfully blocked the escape route of the Koreans.  The melee made it impossible for the North Korean royal family and ministers, who brought their families and large amounts of property, to escape.

    Those North Korean cavalry can escape, but if they really escape, then after losing their political leadership, they will eventually become lonely ghosts wandering around North Korea, and their final fate can only be to be wiped out, so  They can't escape.

    Even though their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the soldiers of the 11th Division, the ants killed the elephant, and nearly 20,000 Korean cavalry fought with 6,000 warriors.

    Li Jue looked at the battlefield anxiously. He didn't understand how the combat effectiveness of these Taiwanese cavalry was so strong. Even the same number of Houjin cavalry couldn't last so long in front of the 20,000 North Korean cavalry who were charging to the death!

    Although they saw that the opponent's cavalry had nearly 2,000 casualties, the opponent still did not know fear, hacked tirelessly, and completely blocked the north gate with his body.

    No, if we delay for a while, it will be impossible to escape.  As long as they escape from Seoul, some of the troops can be cut off, and the royal family can escape safely.

    "Let the infantry go up too, and we must destroy them all as quickly as possible!" Li Jue became anxious and sent 30,000 infantry again.

    However, things did not go as he wished in the end. Just when he issued this order, the rumbling sound became like thunder and came from a distance.  Shilong and others led 12,000 cavalry and finally arrived at the North Gate.

    "Brothers, our people are here, kill them!"

    Yan Jia, who was covered in blood, shouted crazily, motivating only the ordinary soldiers of the 11th Division.

    "Don't be afraid, the other party only has more than 10,000 people here, keep charging!"

    Although Li Jue felt that things had reached the worst point, there was no way out at this time. He could only send out all the troops in his hands and make sure to open the escape route.

    And Shilong and the others couldn't shoot with muskets from a distance, because the soldiers of the 11th Cavalry Division were fighting in a melee with the enemy.

    "kill!"

    Without saying a word, Shi Long drew his saber and charged forward with 12,000 cavalry.

    At this time, there were only less than 10,000 North Korean cavalrymen left. Facing the 12,000 Taiwanese cavalry, they were all quickly killed.

    However, the Koreans still have 60,000 infantry, more than 10,000 to 60,000, and the situation is not very optimistic.  ??When the infantry division did not arrive at the North Gate, the cavalry division still had to use its body to block the escape route of the Koreans.

    "Twenty minutes, within twenty minutes, the three cavalry divisions killed nearly 40,000 Koreans, and they also killed more than 5,200 people and wounded more than 4,000 people.  A cavalry division completely disappeared.  Especially the 11th Cavalry Division, in the end only 2,000 wounded soldiers were left, and its division commander Yan Jia died in the battle.

    Yan Jia became the highest general who died in battle since the formation of the United Guards. He led his men and used his own flesh and blood to completely seal the escape route of the King of Korea and his central officials.  This bought time for reinforcements to arrive.

    And this battle also became the one with the heaviest casualties since the United Guards Army marched into Liaodong.

    Twenty minutes after Shilong and the others arrived, 20,000 infantrymen arrived at the north gate.  After seeing the infantry arriving, Shilong and the others immediately broke away from contact with the Koreans. Two hundred meters away, they poured angry flames with the infantry towards the remaining 40,000 Korean troops.

    "It's over, it's completely over!"

    Seeing tens of thousands of North Korean troops dying quickly under the fire of muskets, Li Jue could no longer support his collapsed nerves and collapsed to the ground.

    Indeed, all the Korean troops in Seoul were destroyed. In order to break through this time, Li Jue used all the forces he could use, but he still failed to succeed.

    Not only that, because the Koreans fought desperately to break out of the encirclement, the number of their deaths was surprisingly high. Only more than 10,000 of the 120,000 Korean troops survived, and all other Korean soldiers died in the battle.  The whole Seoul was awash in blood.

    In fact, Taiwan also underestimated the enemy. Originally, everyone thought that under the fire of muskets, the North Koreans would not continue to charge without their lives.  Who knew that this situation would happen, and the desperate breakout made the firepower net of the rifle salvos of 6,000 people appear too fragile.  If it were extremely strong, let alone six thousand, even sixty could completely block the city gate.
