Chapter 071 Jindalai in the Fire

Zhou Charter was awakened by the sound of gunfire and touched his forehead. A large bag bulged on his forehead, which was faintly painful, but there was no bleeding. Jin Shu didn't have much strength on her wrist. If she changed someone else, she had to open a ladle for him.

The gunfire did not come from Yang Huajin, but from the palace wall in the northwest.

Zhou Charter's heart thumped and he couldn't scream.

The place where the gunfire sounded is "returning to the garden"!

It should be that Feng Guozhang and the others had a fire with the palace guard - Min Ziying finally found Li Ganying's hiding place.

The gunfire is dense, and it can be heard. There is a Type 88 rifle in the Hanyang Arsenal of the Qing Dynasty imitating the rifle of the German Council. This rifle has just been installed in the troops of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the main rifle of the Chinese army in the future! It should be the long weapon carried by Feng Guozhang.

Then there is the dull sound of the Mauser gun, which is the equipment of the North Korean army.

The sound of the two rifles is completely different and very easy to distinguish.

The shooting sound is dense, but it is very scattered. Obviously, the attack of the palace guard is unscathed. However, the gunshots made by Hanyang are extremely rhythmic, not in a hurry, and calm.

However, the gunfire always sounded in one place, which showed that Feng Guozhang and others were surrounded in the "returning garden" and could not rush out.

But anyway, the palace guard has no choice but to take Feng Guozhang for the time being.

As long as we can hold each other! Because Zhou Charter knew that the training level of the North Korean army was extremely poor and was detered by the psychological warfare of the Japanese army, and they had no fighting spirit. As long as Feng Guozhang can withstand a round of attacks, the North Koreans will be in chaos, and Feng Guozhang will have a chance to rush out.

Suddenly, Zhou Charter heard a dull thunder in his ear, coming from the direction of "returning to the garden".

Zhou Charter's palms are sweating!

That's the sound of cannon wheels rolling.

The palace guard used cannons!

The North Korean army was poorly equipped, but the guard responsible for the palace was still equipped with the world's most advanced Kronabel cannon at that time. Speaking of which, this is still a gift from the Qing Dynasty, which was given to the Korean royal palace by Yuan Shikai, the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea.

"Return to the park" is just a small courtyard that can withstand the bombardment of the Krp cannon.

Zhou Charter was so desperate that he shouted at the direction of returning to the park: "Brother Feng!"

His voice drowned in the roar of the cannon.

The gunfire stopped, and the sound of the cannon still echoed over the capital.

A raging fire broke out in the direction of "returning to the garden", and the fire reflected half of the sky, reflecting the outline of the dark palace.

Zhou Charter jumped up from the ground, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

At Yang Huajin's execution ground, the lights were as bright as day.

Jin Shu stood under the tripod in the center of the execution ground with a smile on her side, with an angry head hanging on the tripod.

Jin Yujun was defeated by Ling Chi, and his bones were all shattered and thrown into the Han River, leaving only this public head.

And around the tripod, there are many dead bodies, all of whom were killed by the palace guards who robbed the remains of Jin Yujun, or just the people who came to worship. The incomplete dead body emits a pungent rotten smell.

Around the execution ground, a soldier wearing a straw hat and a military uniform surrounded the execution ground, and countless guns were aimed at Jin Shu from all directions.

Jin Shu has washed the mud on her face. Under the light, her face shines brightly, like a goddess landing on earth.

The soldiers were silent.

Hong Zhongyu stood on a high platform, waved his pistol and roared loudly.

The North Korean he shouted still has some similarities with Chinese. In addition, he learned a lot of North Korean from Kim Shu during this period, and Zhou Charter understood it.

Hong Zhongyu shouted: "Let's shoot! Kill her! She is a criminal of the imperial court!"

However, no soldier fired.

Many soldiers even put their guns down.

Soldiers are all from civilian origin. Jin Yujun is a traitor in the eyes of the court and a hero in the eyes of civilians. The heroism of the people and rulers has never been different.

What's more, standing under the muzzle is a beautiful and pure girl like Jindalai, who is only 16 years old.

Hong Zhongyu grabbed the musket in a soldier's hand, pulled the bolt, and aimed at Jin Shu.

However, his arm was pulled and he couldn't move, and a low voice sounded on his forehead against a cold muzzle: "Order your subordinates to step back and make way for Jin Shu!"

Jin Shu exclaimed: "Brother Zhou!"

"You! You are not dumb!" Hong Zhongyu saw clearly that the person who subdued him was the mute named Jin Chengwu at the gate.

"Yes, I'm not a mute. I'm the president of the Qing Dynasty. My name is Zhou Charter!" Zhou Charter said in Chinese, "You can speak Chinese and should be able to understand it."

"What are you going to do?"

"What I'm going to do should have been made clear. You'd better obey." Zhou Charter said coldly.

"What if I don't obey?" Hong Zhongyu calmed down.

"I will kill you!"

"If you kill me, you can't run away! Let me tell you, this is the capital of North Korea, not your Beijing!"

Hong Zhongyu's words did not fall, and he only heard countless harsh shrill sounds in the sky.

Then, there was a thunderous explosion in the capital, and the explosions rose one after another, and the flames soared into the sky. In the flames in all directions, accompanied by heartbreaking wailing.

It was a shell fired by the Japanese 7cm field gun and exploded on the wall of the palace!

The firelight rose everywhere in the capital, and the explosive limbs were scattered everywhere.

Zhou Charter shouted in Korean: "The Japanese have attacked the city!"

Yang Huajin's soldiers suddenly became a mess, and a shell was falling on the crowd beside the execution ground. Seven or eight soldiers were blown up, and their limbs were scattered on the ground.

Zhou Charter threw down Hong Zhongyu, jumped off the high platform, rushed to the tripod in the center of the execution ground, and pulled Jin Shu: "Follow me!"

Jin Shu was still dead and cried, "Dad, Dad..."

Zhou Charter hurriedly knelt down under Jin Yujun's head and kowtowed three times: "Mr. Jin, please bless Shu'er in the spirit of heaven!"

Zhou Charter stood up, took off his head, took off his coat, wrapped his head, and put it on his waist. Then, he grabbed Jin Shu's hands, bowed, threw Jin Shu on her back, and ran away.

Countless shells fell into the capital. Whether it was the palace or the houses, they were all bombed. The fire was soaring, and the houses were blown up everywhere. There were screams and cries. Poor ordinary people were still asleep and were blown up in the sky.

Another batch of shells also fell into Yang Huajin. North Korean soldiers had no artillery experience and only ran for their lives. They didn't know how to crawl down, let alone listen to ballistics. Soon, a large area was blown down and killed and injured.

Zhou Charter carried Jin Shu on his back and carefully identified the sharp sound of the cannonballs on his head. He jumped from one crater into another, avoided the shells falling from the sky, and ran to the dock by the river, where there were boats.

Zhou Charter intends to jump into a small boat, go down the river and escape from the capital.

Most of North Korean houses are wooden structures, and the roofs are generally thatched. The gunfire ignited the houses, and the fire spread. In an instant, the houses on the whole street fell into the sea of fire. In the firelight, countless civilians and officers and soldiers cried and ran to the river, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies with the help of the river.

Suddenly, a row of gunfire sounded on the river, and a large number of people running in front of them fell down.

On the river illuminated by fire, I don't know when several iron-clad boats appeared, and the machine guns on the bow spewed fire tongues at the running crowd. Wherever the fire tongue went, there was another piece of flesh and blood.

Zhou Charter jumped into a crater, pressed Jin Shu under his body, looked up and saw a group of soldiers in blue and black military uniforms wearing blue military hats and holding Murata-style rifles on the iron armored boat. These soldiers were agile and vigorous under the command of an officer with saber and the rank of second lieutenant. Rush to Yang Huajin, occupy favorable terrain, and use various obstacles such as mounds, trees, walls as bunkers, and quickly launch a battle formation.

The officer stood by a low wall, and behind him, a sun flag was raised and fluttered in the fire.

The Japanese army entered the city from the Han River!

Zhou Charter has no way out!
