If your talking about 10,000 artillary pieces firing 4 times a minute times 2 minutes your talking 80,000 shells, and we're talking big ones here 170 mm and up, combine that with MLRS that can ripple fire off a dozen 240 mm fin stabilized rockets that are the equivalent of dropping a phone booth sized high explosive on your house, and Seoul would cease to exist from explosions, fire and fragmentation injuries in about 2 minutes.

Even if NK lost the war, there would be some satisfaction that the industrial and civic hub of your main enemy is now a moonscape.
Artillery takes man power, for every invisible bomb that surgically strikes these guys 10 will run like hell and give up. Alot aimed doesn't mean a lot will be fired.
