Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 730

[Chapter 730 Shocked Carter]

“Clean up the battlefield and head to Land City tomorrow.” After the

battle ended, Chang Wei inspected the battlefield.

In this battle, the strength of the front of the Eastern Allied Army was not much different from that of the front of the Royal Army.

One is 80,000 and the other is 60,000.

What’s more, there are 30,000 clan troops mixed in here.

When the ambush started, the soldiers of the clan army surrendered in large numbers.

After all, they knew how the royal family’s troops treated the prisoners.

Surrender still has a way to live, otherwise there is only a dead end.

The rest of the Japanese army did not hold back at all.

However, compared with the powerful army, the morale of the Japanese army is indeed higher.

After all, Japan has been hoping to occupy Korea for a long time.

The soldiers of the power clan came more to build momentum, and they were not interested in coming to Koryo to fight.

Therefore, most of the Japanese soldiers were wiped out, and only more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers chose to surrender.

After ordering this matter, Chang Wei ordered people to go to Ancheng to send the battle report to King Yan.

At the same time, he agreed with King Yan to join forces in Lin County, Dongchang County, Korea.

There are a total of six counties in Koryo. Due to the narrow land, they basically cut across the border from south to north.

Therefore, each county faces the sea on both the north and south sides.

This Lin county is on the coast of the South China Sea, and it is only half a day’s journey by sea from Ancheng.

Rested all night.

Chang Wei sent two thousand soldiers to escort the captives to Qingbo Bridge West and hand them over to Yang Zhen.

He led the remaining soldiers and horses to Lin County.

The forwards of the Eastern Allied Forces were eager to pursue, and did not leave a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in the captured counties.

Starting from Fengming Mountain, the army of the Wangfu quickly regained Dongchang County.

During this period, Chang Wei’s battle report also arrived in Ancheng.

Zhao Xu arrived in Lin County with the King of Korea and Yin Boming on a warship.

“General Chang is mighty. It’s admirable to wipe out 80,000 East-Turk coalition forces in one fell swoop.” Followed King Yan into Lincheng.

King Gaoli saw that the soldiers of King Yan were all wearing dark green military uniforms, standing tall and straight, and they were strong and strong, making them look extraordinarily mighty, so they couldn’t help feeling a head shorter.

Looking at the rifled guns with bayonets in the hands of King Yan’s soldiers, he felt a fear in his heart.

Seeing Chang Wei, he couldn’t help bowing down and complimenting him.

Chang Wei squinted at the King of Korea and ignored him at all.

This time they entered Goryeo to fight for the benefit of Da Song, not for him Goryeo.

The King of Goryeo is no longer the King of Goryeo, but just manages Goryeo on behalf of them.

Seeing this, King Gaoli coughed in embarrassment, but did not dare to get angry, but just stood aside, like a servant serving.

“How’s the situation in Soil City?” Zhao Xu asked at this moment.

This ambush was done beautifully, as it should be.

Rifled guns, grenades, everything is better than the Japanese army by more than one grade.

If it is broken, he will kick Chang Wei’s ass.

Therefore, this matter is not worthy of his praise at all.

“Returning to Your Highness, the Eastern Allied Forces are digging trenches outside the soil city, and they seem to want to use the method of raising the city to deal with us.” Chang Wei said.

Although the ambush was a great victory, small groups of soldiers escaped back.

The generals of the East-Turk Allied Forces in the soil city probably already knew the news that they entered Koryo to fight.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu sneered, “Then let them have a taste of howitzers.”

The emergence of trench warfare has indeed caused troubles for the attacking side.

But then there were weapons for the trenches, which were howitzers and grenades.

Therefore, the battle of Yangcheng was not because the royal army could not take down the trench dug under the command of the general of Xitu.

He just wanted to take the first step to unify Jiangbei, and he didn’t want to pay unnecessary casualties under Yangcheng.

After all, in his opinion, the powerful families in Yangcheng must cross Jiujiang to Jiangnan.

Why should he let the soldiers die compared to taking down Yangcheng without abolishing one soldier at a time.

Furthermore, at that time, he was worried that the Eastern Land Alliance would blockade Jiujiang and prevent him from going south.

In fact, he was right too.

Under the circumstances at that time, there was no need to rush to take down Yangcheng.

Even if a bloody battle is won, it will not be able to cross the river for the time being.

…

Soil city.

Haruno Yamada, Carter and Xie An are supervising soldiers digging trenches.

The vanguard soldiers and horses were ambushed in Fengming Mountain, which shocked them extremely.

“Damn it, this King Yan is indeed a lunatic, and he can’t figure out his thoughts at all.” Carter kicked the sandbag stacked on the ditch hard.

Yamada Haruno’s face was as black as ink. The loss of fifty thousand Japanese troops made him feel like a knife was piercing his heart, and the fire of hatred in his heart rushed straight to his forehead.

Before sending troops, they also considered King Yan, but immediately denied the possibility of King Yan sending troops to Goryeo.

After all, Goryeo is Beidi’s sphere of influence, and it is totally unreasonable for King Yan to save Goryeo.

But now the iron-clad facts gave them a slap in the face.

King Yan has indeed sent troops!

“It is said that this King Yan suffered from brain disease, and he is really different from ordinary people. From now on, we can no longer use ordinary people’s thinking to judge him.” Haruno Yamada said bitterly, “However, since he dared to intervene in Korea, let him be trapped this time. In the quagmire of the Goryeo War.”

After a pause, he continued: “We have to disclose this news to Beidi. Beidi   is not willing to send troops to rescue Goryeo, but he certainly does not want to see King Yan occupy Goryeo.” King Yan’s energy might be able to defeat King Yan.

But before that, they must defend the city of soil.

Xie An’s face was full of worry, but in the Eastern Allied Army, his words didn’t carry any weight.

In his view, the best way now is to withdraw from Korea.

Compared with the Japanese and Western natives, they understood King Yan’s temperament better.

As long as King Yan decides something, he will definitely carry it out to the end.

Moreover, the Ning Jindu Division is adjacent to Koryo, and the Yanzhou fleet can reach the coast of Koryo at any time.

King Yan didn’t intervene in Goryeo. Since he intervened, wouldn’t he wait for death if he didn’t run away?

But he could only say this to himself in his heart.

Then he bemoaned his bad luck, and was ordered to go to this damned place.

Three days passed.

The excavation of the trench outside the city was completed.

At this time, they finally saw King Yan’s soldiers and horses.

On the city wall, Carter saw through the binoculars King Yan’s soldiers in uniform.

His heart sank.

Just one look and you can tell this army dog is well trained.

At the same time, the style of muskets carried by the soldiers does not belong to the current equipment of the Western Turk Army at all.

Moreover, he also saw field artillery drawn by horses, as well as howitzers.

“God, they are so well-equipped.” Carter’s heart twitched suddenly, and he was beyond shocked.

Last time in Yangcheng, they only saw the muskets of King Yan’s soldiers.

It was the first time he had seen field artillery and howitzers.

He swore that compared with the field guns and howitzers in the Western Turk Army, the two types of artillery in King Yan’s army were not bad in appearance.

The only thing that is uncertain is whether these field guns and howitzers are powerful enough.

He touched the tapered bullet in his mouth.

At this moment, he even suspected that some of King Yan’s firearms surpassed Xitu.
