When the artillery behind the Ping'an Army rang out, the defeat of Li Long's King's Army had already been determined. After all, for the North Korean armies that mainly used cold weapons, they faced the power of the artillery salvo and the subsequent musketeers.

The scene of the attack left these Koreans with no power to fight back. Most of them were frightened by the roar of the artillery. Even though the bows and arrows in their hands were still very lethal to the musketeers, no one

Dare to turn around and shoot an arrow.

It was precisely because of the power of artillery and muskets that Li Long's army was completely defeated shortly after the battle began. Even Li Long was so frightened that he fell off his horse. When the guards helped him onto his horse,

, Li Long immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Seoul, not daring to stop at all on the battlefield.

Li Long's escape made it impossible for the Korean King's Army to make a comeback. Tens of thousands of troops fled across the mountains and plains without any plan at all. The Ping'an Army behind them chased closely and chased for dozens of miles before stopping.

When the results of the battle were finally counted, it was discovered that tens of thousands of the king's troops were killed in this battle and more than 20,000 people were captured. It is estimated that less than 20,000 people were able to escape.

After this battle, Li Long's strength was greatly damaged and he could no longer control the vast area of ​​​​Gyeonggi Province. For his own safety, Li Long dispatched elite troops from all over Gyeonggi Province to guard Seoul. As a result, all areas of Gyeonggi Province were

The defense was empty, and the Ping An Army almost did not expend much effort, and had already captured the large area of ​​​​Gyeonggi Province.

Part of the area is under control. The only hateful thing is that the Zhongqing Army in the south and the Gangwon Army in the east also took the opportunity to annex some territory in Gyeonggi Province. This made both Liu Tao and Li Anliang very dissatisfied, but now is not the time to settle accounts with them.

.So they could only pretend not to see it and then mobilized troops to besiege Seoul.

Seoul's original name was Hanyang. Later, North Korea established its capital here, and then it was renamed Seoul. North Korea generally calls it the capital, or directly calls it Beijing. As the largest and most prosperous city in North Korea, Seoul's city defenses are naturally very strong.

Not only does it have tall and strong city walls, but this city also has the most elite troops in the Kingdom of Korea concentrated there.

However, although Seoul can be said to be the most solid city in North Korea, this is only relative to North Korea's domestic army. If it were replaced by the army of other countries, it might not be difficult to conquer. For example, according to the original history,

in dozens

During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion a year later, 20,000 Japanese troops captured the capital city, where the elites from all over Korea were gathered, and burned, killed, and looted here. When they finally left, they slaughtered all the people in the city. Seoul

It also became a dead city.

The Japanese army can easily break through Seoul. Although the Korean Ping An Army led by the Ming Dynasty is a little weaker, don't forget. They also have three thousand firearms troops in their army, especially there are hundreds of artillery. This is the real

As a siege weapon, when hundreds of artillery bombarded the city gate together, Seoul could not hold on for long. In the end, the city gate was shattered by the artillery bombardment, and then tens of thousands of Ping An troops poured in, and the solid Seoul was

It was captured so easily.

As the Ping An Army entered the city, the Korean King's troops in the city had already been frightened by the artillery and had no courage to resist. As for the ordinary people, they hid in their homes, chanting "Amitabha" in their hearts and begging the Buddha for blessing. Don't

Let those rebels enter your home.

Compared with ordinary people, Li Long, who was once more than ten thousand people before, was heartbroken. The moment the gate of Seoul was blasted open by artillery, he suddenly fell into despair, and he also knew that now

Almost no one in North Korea does not hate him. The reason why he can

He has survived to this day all because he is the king of North Korea and has an elite army in his hands. But now this army has been defeated and the king's position is in danger. He can even foresee that he will be captured after he is captured.

What kind of cruel punishment will you face?

Li Long couldn't help but feel extremely frightened when he thought of his miserable situation after being captured. Finally, he decided to learn from a tyrant of the Central Plains Dynasty, the famous King Zhou of Shang, and took advantage of the Ping'an Army.

Before they could enter Gyeongbokgung Palace, they ordered people to seize the gold and silver treasures in the palace.

They all gathered in their bedroom, and called for their favorite concubines, as well as all their sons and daughters. Then Li Long ordered people to seal the door and set the entire palace on fire. As a result, he took his gold with him.

The silver treasure, as well as the beloved women and children died in the fire.

When he learned that Li Long actually set fire to himself, Liu Tao felt very sorry. They were originally very interested in the treasures in Li Long's treasury, but now it seems that those treasures must have been burned to ashes along with Li Long.

. Different from Liu Tao, Li Anliang and other Koreans were very angry when they knew that Li Long actually burned themselves to death, because in their view, a tyrant like Li Long should die in the eyes of all people, like

This way of death is too cheap for him now.

Li Long died, and Seoul fell into the hands of the Ping An Army. On the surface, Li Anliang was still the leader of the Ping An Army. In fact, Liu Tao and others were in charge of the entire Ping An Army. However, when issuing orders to the outside world, Li Anliang was still used as the leader.

An Liang's name

For example, after the Ping An Army occupied Seoul this time, they immediately sent invitations to Qi Yanming and other rebel leaders. In name, they were invited to come to Seoul to discuss the future of North Korea, but in fact they were forcing the rebels from all walks of life to recognize the Ping An Army.

As the leader of the rebels.

Naturally, Qi Yanming and the rebel leaders were very clear about the plans of the Ping An Army. However, the fact that the Ping An Army was able to destroy Li Long in one fell swoop was beyond everyone's expectation. What shocked them even more was that among the Ping An Army,

With a large number of artillery, everyone understood that there must be a huge force behind the Ping An Army, and the only one who could provide hundreds of artillery and thousands of muskets at one time was the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of knowing the above that many smaller rebels gave up when they saw that the Ping An Army had a strong background and had eliminated Li Long. After receiving the invitation, they began to arrive one after another.

After all, they all know that if they don't go to Seoul after receiving the invitation, they will become the enemies of the Ping An Army in the future. With the strength of the Ping An Army, they are no match even if they unite.

Li Anliang and Liu Tao were not surprised by the surrender of those small groups of rebels. They were concerned about the Zhongqing Army, Gangwon Army and Gyeongsang Army headed by Qi Yanming. These three rebels were the largest rebels besides the Ping An Army.

Army, their attitude is the most critical. If these three rebels are unwilling to surrender, then they can only solve it through force.

As the weak rebels from all walks of life chose to surrender to the Ping'an Army, this also put strong pressure on the leaders of the three rebel armies such as Qi Yanming. After all, judging from the combat power displayed by the Ping'an Army, they were definitely not

The opponents of the Ping An Army cannot even unite, so now they are hesitating whether to surrender to the Ping An Army, which was on an equal footing with them before.

The first to be unable to withstand the pressure was the Gangwon Army. Most of this army was composed of rebellious North Korean officers and soldiers. The leader was named Cui Donglong. He was only a middle-level officer in the past. Although Cui Donglong was very talented in military affairs, he was not good at governing.

But the local government was powerless, so this also made Jiang under his rule

Gangwon Province is also very chaotic, and the situation is only slightly better than the previous Ping An Road. Now that the Ping An Army has been reorganized by Li Anliang and Liu Tao, the situation is no longer what it used to be. As a result, his Gangwon Province has become the most chaotic place in the entire North Korea. Even Cui Dongyong

I already feel that I am unable to manage the local area.

It is precisely because of the above reasons, and Cui Donglong knew that he was definitely no match for the Ping An Army, and Gangwon Province and Gyeonggi Province were originally close to each other, so after careful consideration, he finally decided to go to Seoul to meet Li Anliang.

This also means that he is willing to surrender to the Ping An Army.

Liu Tao and Li Anliang were very happy about Cui Donglong's surrender, because in their view, those small groups of rebels didn't matter at all. The most important thing was the three major rebels headed by the Zhongqing Army. Now one of the three major rebels

The Gangwon Army finally chose to submit, so this is a good sign. Maybe in a few days, the Chungcheong Army and Gyeongsang Army will also choose to submit.

However, Liu Tao and Li Anliang obviously underestimated the Zhongqing Army and the Gyeongsang Army. They waited in Seoul for a banquet with the rebel leaders, but did not see Qi Yanming and the nobles. In the end, Li Anliang and Liu Tao endured the banquet.

Fury entertained those rebel leaders who chose to surrender, and then arranged for them to live in Seoul. As for their troops, people from the Ping An Army would naturally come to take over.

In fact, Liu Tao and Li Anliang had some psychological preparations for the stubbornness of the Zhongqing Army and the Gyeongsang Army. After all, these two groups of rebels were different from the Gangwon Army, especially Qi Yanming's Zhongqing Army. They were originally the first group of rebels in North Korea.

, and among the various rebels in North Korea, they have always

is the strongest, but now the sudden rise of the Ping An Army has caused the Zhongqing Army to fall behind, but the arrogance of the Zhongqing Army is still there. It is naturally not easy to make them bow to the Ping An Army, which was not as good as themselves before, so Qi Qi

It’s not surprising that Yanming didn’t go to Seoul.

As for the Gyeongsang Army formed by the North Korean gentry alliance, this army needs money and people. It can be said to be the one with the most potential for development among the four rebel armies. Unfortunately, their location is too far south, too far away from Gyeonggi Province.

He is far away, so he has never been able to participate in the core battle.

But now this terrain gives them an advantage. Because it is too far away from Gyeonggi Province and there is a Chungcheong Army in the middle, so they are not worried about the threat of the Ping An Army at all. They want to make them submit unless the Ping An Army can defeat them.
