From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 978

Although the heavy snow had stopped and the sky was full of stars, the temperature was still very low. Zhou Yuan was not cold, but he felt dry and his mouth was tasteless.

The one-hour rest time passed quickly, and Song Wu and others became energetic and organized the army immediately.

"Set up the artillery! Pay attention to the range! Set it up outside the range of the enemy's artillery!"

"Fire all the shells, and completely destroy the tower of Seoul and blast a gap."

"These bastards actually blocked the city gate directly. They really plan to be turtles in it."

Seven or eight soldiers were responsible for one cannon, pushing the heavy artillery cart forward and quickly completing the installation.

"Heavy cavalry ready!"

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Dayong, get your elite battalion ready. Once the gap in the tower is opened, you must charge in."

"Song Wu, while the Yongxiao Battalion and Wuyao Battalion are slaughtering the island bandits, you must arrange for the reserve troops to fill in the gaps and prevent the island bandits from escaping."

"First block the major streets and gradually clean them up, and try not to miss any."

"Before dawn, we must resolve the battle."

Song Wu said loudly: "I understand!"

Zhou Yuan looked at Li Yu'an and said: "Holy Mother Sister, let your people raise the flag of the Lee Dynasty and prepare to take over Seoul in the name of the dynasty. Civil officials should make plans to appease the people. "

Li Yu'an was a little excited and said excitedly: "Don't worry, we have been waiting for this day for a long time, and we can do everything well."

Zhou Yuan nodded and shouted immediately: "Attack! Fight!"

The fuse was lit, and the Portuguese cannon roared. The dense shells hit the Seoul tower, smashing big holes in the adobe tower.

The sound made Zhou Yuan feel nauseous, and he couldn't help but retching a few times.

Li Yu'an was very perceptive. She came over immediately and frowned, saying, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just no taste in my mouth, a little nauseous."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Yu'an smiled slightly, took out a candy like a magic trick, and said, "Here, brown sugar."

Zhou Yuan took the candy and saw that the brown sugar was shaped like a matchbox, a little sticky, and was made very delicately.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "You actually brought this kind of thing."

Li Yu'an said, "I often bring some food, mainly to relieve boredom, and there are peanuts, do you want it?"

Zhou Yuan thought of the sheep dung again, and shook his head quickly, saying, "Forget this."

He picked up the brown sugar and was about to eat it, but he saw Li Yu'an looking at him eagerly.

He couldn't help laughing, took a small bite, and handed it to her.

Li Yu'an said with a giggle, "You are reluctant to finish it, and you have to leave it for me."

Zhou Yuan said, "I know you must have more than one."

"Of course! But I like to share it with you!"

She took the brown sugar and took a bite on the other side.

It tastes so sweet!

She looked at the remaining candy in her hand and couldn't help laughing, "Your tooth mark is bigger than mine!"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud.

The towers of Seoul could not withstand the bombardment of dozens of Portuguese cannons. After just two rounds, most of the city walls collapsed and several gaps appeared.

Guan Dayong rode on horseback, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and shouted, "Follow me! Crush them!"

Eight hundred heavy cavalry swept over like a tsunami.

The island bandits were still struggling to death. They gathered a large number of heavy troops at the gap to try to stop the charge of the heavy cavalry.

But it was useless. The heavy cavalry of the elite camp was fully armored, and each person's equipment was more exaggerated than the Iron Pagoda. Moreover, they were all strong men over 1.9 meters tall, with unparalleled physical talents. They were completely invulnerable beasts. Except for cannons, nothing on land could stop their charge.

Run over!

They simply ran over!

Each one was like the death god of hell, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the island pirates.

"It's our turn!"

Song Wu shouted loudly, raised his long sword, and shouted loudly: "Wu Yaoying, Yongxiaoying, follow me!"

He led the way and rushed forward, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers charged together, forming a devastating wave of people, enough to submerge the entire Seoul.

"Raise the flag of my Lee Dynasty! Follow me!"

Li Yu'an was full of excitement, and he followed the remaining civil servants and soldiers of the Lee Dynasty into the city.

The island bandits had no combat capability at all. When the heavy cavalry of the elite battalion rushed in, their formation was completely messed up, their morale collapsed, and they were directly defeated.

So they fled everywhere, hiding in alleys and even in residents' homes.

But the Wuyao Battalion and the Yongxiao Battalion were the elite among the elite. They were capable enough to maintain their rationality and sharpness in the chaotic battle situation and complete complex tasks with the highest efficiency, including blocking roads, includingThe suppression of the island bandits was clearly divided and implemented, leaving them with no way to escape.

Li Yu'an used all her internal strength and shouted, "Don't be afraid, people of Goryeo, we are here to save you!"

Her internal strength was so vast that her voice almost spread throughout the city.

Wu Yaoying and Yongxiaoying acted quickly, methodically encircling the island bandits in various streets and then quickly killing them.

Occasionally, there were a few fish that slipped through the net and escaped before the encirclement shrank, fleeing in other directions.

Song Wu led the reserve team to pursue and intercept them.

"Commander-in-chief! We have intercepted them all! But..."

The soldier quickly dismounted and whispered, "But something happened ahead..."

"What's going on?"

Song Wu strode forward, and what caught his eye was the corpses all over the ground.

They were densely packed, covering the entire street, and the blood had coagulated, but it could be seen that they had just died.

Even though Song Wu had long been accustomed to the bloody battlefield, he felt cold all over when he saw this scene.

The weather was too cold, and the bodies were already stiff. Perhaps because of this, they kept the expression before death on their faces - despair, pain, fear... It is difficult to describe in words.

The soldier whispered: "Most of the people in the city were slaughtered... Whether they were men, women, old or young, they were not spared."

"And a large number of women were raped, which was very miserable..."

Song Wu took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Kill all the island bandits."

He turned around and went to Zhou Yuan, and saw Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an talking and laughing, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

Song Wu opened his mouth, but did not dare to speak for a while.

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "What's the matter so urgent?"

Song Wu coughed twice and whispered: "General, go to the front and take a look, something happened."

Zhou Yuan felt a little uneasy and rode forward immediately.

Li Yu'an rode on horseback and hurried to catch up.

After a while, they stopped.

Zhou Yuan slowly dismounted and looked at the streets full of corpses, and was silent for a while.

These are all civilians. They can't affect the war situation at all. They just want to survive.

"Woo..."

Li Yu'an cried out in grief and ran forward.

Zhou Yuan looked at her back and couldn't persuade her, so he could only keep up.

So he ran forward, crossed the streets full of corpses, and reached the next street, which was full of corpses again.

Li Yu'an ran forward like crazy, and Zhou Yuan chased him like crazy.

There were corpses on every street, blood everywhere, and faces of fear and despair.

Pushing open the door of every household, there were no living people.

There were babies who died tragically, women who were raped and killed, and old people whose heads were cut off everywhere.

This is not a royal capital at all. This is clearly hell, and it clearly does not belong to the human world.

Li Yu'an's face was pale, she stood blankly among the corpses, her eyes were filled with tears, she looked at everything around her, she couldn't make a sound, couldn't cry, only numbness, only unspeakable pain.

She stepped on an arm, stumbled and almost fell, looked down, it was the body of a little girl.

The little girl had a shy smile on her face, and next to her right hand, there was a small piece of brown sugar.

There was a row of small tooth marks on one end of the brown sugar.

There was a row of big tooth marks on the other end of the brown sugar.

Li Yu'an was stunned, she trembled, and took out the remaining piece of brown sugar from her arms.

There was a row of small tooth marks on one end of the brown sugar.

There was a row of big tooth marks on the other end of the brown sugar.

The small one was left by her, and the big one was left by Zhou Yuan.

She had a lot of candy, but she liked to share it with Zhou Yuan.

What about this little girl? In this cold winter, this candy may be her most precious thing.

She likes to share it with her parents.

She even ate the rest. Maybe she wanted to wait until tomorrow because tomorrow was New Year.

She would never have a New Year again!

Li Yu'an stuffed the candy in her hand into her mouth. It was so sweet, so sweet that it was greasy and bitter.
