The siege must not be rushed.

The more anxious you are, the greater the loss.

Since ancient times, the defender has always been able to cause great losses to the attacker by virtue of complete fortifications.

Even though Xia Jun's weapons were far more advanced than those of Incheon's defenders, Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing always kept Zuo Menggeng's teachings in mind.

Be careful.

Anyway, Incheon can't wait for any reinforcements, and it will be a matter of time before this city is captured.

In order to minimize casualties, Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing even sent people to the city to persuade them to surrender.

"Jin Wensheng refused to surrender, and even shot arrows at us. It seems that he is ready to fight to the end."

The people sent to persuade them to surrender returned and reported the city's attitude.

After such a long time, the first regiment of the Marine Army has figured out the identity of Jin Wensheng.

"It seems that he is worried that if he surrenders, he will be liquidated by the Western People's Party."

Zhao Xianbing thought for a while and asked, "Should we give him a guarantee?"

Miao Guangxian did not agree.

"This is always a matter within North Korea, and we don't want to mix it up. We are soldiers, so we only do military things."

From the heart, Miao Guangxian is not willing to resolve Incheon peacefully.

If that's the case, the combat achievements will be small.

After three days of excavation, Xia Jun's trench has reached the city of Incheon.

The distance between the head of the city and the nearest ditch is less than [-] meters. If you charge at full speed, you can run under the city wall in the blink of an eye.

Jin Wensheng and Guo Chengzai watched Xia Jun approaching step by step, but there was no good way.

They once sent people out of the city to stop them, but they were shot back by Xia Jun indiscriminately.

Jin Wensheng saw the power of Xia Jun's firearms with his own eyes, and he was no longer so confident in defending the city.

But his identity is determined, he has no way out, he can only choose to resist to the end.

During these three days, the heavy artillery supporting the battle in the southern mountains was mobilized again and deployed in the east of the city.

There is a small hill inside the city wall here, which is the commanding height overlooking the city.The artillery of the defenders is arranged on it, which is the main threat to the Xia army's attack.

It must be suppressed with heavy artillery to ensure the smooth attack of the infantry.

"Everyone started to check their watches. It will be on time at eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and they will start attacking after breakfast."

Nowadays, wristwatches and pocket watches are very popular in Xia country, and all the people in the army will be issued to all officers above the company level.

With a unified time calculation tool, it is very helpful for coordinated operations.

The next day, the sky was a bit gloomy and the temperature was a bit cold.

Xia Jun has been busy since the early morning, and all the camps are very lively.

Seeing Xia Jun's cooking smoke curling up and the smell of food overflowing, the defenders knew that a big battle was coming.

"Take out all the food, let the soldiers have a full meal, and guard the city."

At the critical moment, Jin Wensheng was also very generous, taking out his treasured food to reward the defenders.

If you want to make people work hard, how can you not give some benefits?
After suffering from hunger and hunger for many days, they finally had a full meal. The soldiers defending the city did not have much joy.

Everyone knows what it means for Shangguan to feed them under such circumstances.

After breakfast, the hustle and bustle suddenly dissipated, and both inside and outside the city fell into a strange tranquility.

But everyone knows that this tranquility will be followed by an astonishing storm.

Miao Guangxian raised his wrist, watching the pointer move bit by bit, his face became more determined.

Finally the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock.

"Order all the artillery to fire five salvos!"

The orderly was just outside the command post, and immediately waved the flag and passed the order to the artillery position.

In an instant, all the artillery of the Marine Regiment roared together, pouring firepower wildly at the city of Incheon.

Explosive airflows of different sizes and sizes swept across every inch of the city wall.

While the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, the bricks and stones were blown to pieces one after another, and the violent air currents also turned into terrifying weapons.

The fragile flesh and blood body was torn apart on the spot, and there was no time to utter a cry.

The tall city gate building was hit by a shell and immediately began to collapse.The smoke and dust billowed above the city gate, covering the sun with clouds, making it impossible to see anything.

Such a strong city wall has also become scarred in the attack of artillery fire.

The soil inside is exposed in several places. I don't know how long it can last?

Jin Wensheng and Guo Chengzai were originally on the city wall. When the shells hit, they were dragged away by the guards.

At this time, seeing all the city walls in the east, west, north, and south were engulfed in flames, the two were dumbfounded, and finally realized the horror of Xia Jun.

"Let everyone on the city wall withdraw first!"

Guo Chengzai reacted a little faster and responded immediately.

In fact, he didn't need to order, some clever soldiers had already slipped away.Those who are not clever, I am afraid that they have been killed on the spot.

However, even if it is withdrawn from the city wall, it does not mean that it is safe.

Many shells crossed the city wall and fell into the city, razing one dwelling after another to the ground.

The whole city was in complete chaos, and the people who didn't know what happened were running around.

Whether they can survive in the flames of war can only depend on God's will.

When the fifth round of shelling had just ended, the soldiers of the Xia army who had been hiding in the trenches jumped out one after another and rushed towards the city wall.

At this time, there were no defenders on the top of the city at all, and they couldn't stop their footsteps.

The distance of more than [-] meters was quickly reached, and the ladders were set up, and the bravest soldiers began to climb up.

There were also engineering troops who moved away the rejecting horses at the city gate, and then piled up explosives in front of the city gate.

The power of tens of kilograms of explosives detonating together can be described as earth-shattering.

There was a violent shaking of the ground, and after the thunder-like loud noise penetrated, many people's ears could no longer receive any sound.

The already dilapidated gates and buildings jumped up, and then disappeared in the billowing smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust calmed down a bit, people suddenly discovered that not only the city gates and buildings had disappeared, but the entire city wall had disappeared.

Seeing that the solid city wall was blown up at the beginning of the war, Jin Wensheng was very anxious.

"Guo Yuhou, hurry up and seize the city wall, and don't let the Xia army attack."

Guo Chengzai's scalp was numb, but under the persecution of Jin Wensheng, he could only lead the army at hand to the damaged area.

Xia Jun arrived almost at the same time as them.

The two sides fought immediately at the blown up city gate.

Xia Jun's soldiers used grenades to open the way, preventing the defenders from approaching the city wall at all.Then the infantry, in groups of ten, rushed to the gap and fired their guns.

Regardless of the hit effect, after the shot is fired, this group of soldiers will spread to both sides to make way for the follow-up troops.

The same is true for subsequent groups.

Under the continuous firepower, the soldiers and horses led by Guo Chengzai were quickly lost.Even he himself was shot in the thigh, lying on the ground unable to move.

At the same time, the city walls everywhere were also occupied by Xia Jun.

The defenders worked very hard, but they had no way to attack when they were shot down by muskets.

In just ten minutes, a battalion of troops poured into the city of Incheon.

Xia Jun's infantry was also pushed up, and it fired at the defenders at the gap.

The defenders originally planned to use houses and streets for street fighting, but they all collapsed before the artillery fired.

Jin Wensheng retreated all the way, and there were fewer and fewer people around him.This made him finally understand how stupid the decision to defend the city was.

At this point, the loss of Incheon is inevitable.

He returned to the government office in despair, took off his belt, hung it on the beam of the house, and finally ended his life with a kick of his legs.

The defenders in the city were completely in chaos, because they couldn't find the chief officer, so they could only fight blindly on their own.

More and more people surrendered, and the resistance became weaker and weaker. In the end, there was only one place left in the government office.

Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing also entered the city, and Guo Chengzai, who was wounded and captured, was escorted to them.

Guo Chengzai was terrified, not knowing how Xia Jun would deal with him.

But Miao Guangxian and Zhao Xianbing lack interest in this Incheon defender.

"Take him down and hand him over to the military doctor."
