Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 731
[Chapter 731 Battle of Soil City]
“Your Highness, if we annihilate the soldiers of the Eastern Land Alliance in Soil City, we will wipe out about 70% of their soldiers and horses.”
In a raised hill ten miles north of Soil City.
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei are observing Rangcheng, besides the King of Korea, there are also some generals of Korea.
Waiting for the arrival of the rear army, they sent troops to Korea.
The battle of Fengming Mountain wiped out 80,000 East-Turk Allied Forces.
The army of the royal family did not feel anything, but the remnants of the Koryo army were greatly encouraged.
Many fleeing Koryo troops ran out from the deep mountains and old forests.
Act together with the royal army.
However, they are basically only responsible for doing menial tasks.
For example, responsible for collecting food and grass, and burying pots for cooking.
“Well, this battle of Rangcheng will determine the direction of the war in Korea. We need to make a quick decision to show our prestige, so as to prevent them from continuing to invest troops in Korea and fall into the quagmire of war.” Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.
Goryeo is just a small episode in its expansion of its sphere of influence.
Can’t invest too much time and energy here.
Otherwise, this will affect his plan to unify Dasong.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, they will definitely regret setting foot on this land in the end.” Chang Wei said.
Zhao Xu nodded and continued to look forward.
On the north side of Land City, there is a big river called Pu River.
The city of soil was built behind the Pu River and connected by a stone bridge.
The trench of the Eastern Turkmenistan Army is in front of this stone bridge.
To this arrangement, Zhao Xu secretly nodded.
If it was a Japanese general or a powerful general, he would definitely blow up the stone bridge and just defend the city.
But in this way, they can still find a way to cross the Pu River and reach the city of Land unscathed.
But the general of Xitu, Rucheng, dug a trench position in Shiqiao, and they had to lay down this position before they could move forward.
Otherwise, ignore it and bypass the trench position and cross the river directly.
Union soldiers in trench positions can attack them from the flanks and rear.
Thinking of this, he ordered his soldiers to confront the Eastern Land Alliance and dig trenches.
But this time, he asked King Goryeo to send many Goryeo soldiers to cooperate in digging trenches.
Three days later, compared to the trench positions of the Eastern Land Alliance, the royal army also dug out their own trench positions.
The positions of the two sides were intertwined, and the closest distance was only about 30 meters.
This distance is completely enough for the soldiers of the Royal Palace to throw grenades into the opponent’s trench.
Everything was ready, Zhao Xu ordered to attack the trench position in front of the stone bridge.
After receiving the order, the howitzers placed behind the trench position roared, and the shells crossed the arc and fell into the trench of the Eastern Turk Alliance.
Field artillery can do nothing against enemy soldiers in trenches.
But howitzers can throw shells into trenches.
Coupled with flowering bombs, it can cause a lot of casualties to the enemy in the trench.
“Boom boom boom…”
The trench positions of the Eastern Land Alliance were instantly covered by artillery fire.
This time, Bing Zhansi sent all the 100 howitzers and special ammunition manufactured to the army.
Enough for them.
“Ah…”
Under the bombardment of the howitzers, there were screams from time to time in the Eastern Land Alliance position.
Some shells fell into the middle of the soldiers, and the huge power directly lifted the soldiers, and the stumps and arms were scattered everywhere.
Some soldiers were pushed directly on the wall of the trench by the shock wave and passed out on the spot.
Soil city.
Carter looked at the battlefield, a drop of cold sweat slid down his face.
Haruno Yamada tried his best to keep calm, but his hands couldn’t help shaking slightly.
He knew that King Yan’s soldiers and horses had a flowering bomb.
But Dasong Shizu said that the power of this explosive bomb is not too great.
But now, when a flowering bomb falls, it can blow up a big hole.
Actually, Shizu didn’t lie to him.
After all, what the clans experienced was the blooming bullet loaded with black powder, and they have not tasted the blooming bullet loaded with yellow gunpowder.
What’s more, the flowering bullets fired by the howitzer this time were not only filled with yellow gunpowder, but the screwed wooden plugs of the shells also became screwed steel plugs.
With the two upgrades, the power of the shell explosion is even more terrifying.
Compared to Carter and Haruno Yamada, Xie An’s head was covered with cold sweat.
Now, he just wants to escape.
So, he said: “On land, we can’t defeat King Yan at all. If we continue to fight, we will only ruin the lives of soldiers in vain. The best way is to use steamboats to control Jiujiang and prevent King Yan from going south.
” , He continued to Carter: “Afterwards, you have to provide us with all possible help, so that we can finally defeat King Yan!
” In other words, we have already sacrificed so many soldiers, we absolutely cannot just withdraw like this.”
Carter chose to remain silent, if now, he was commanding a Western Turk army, he might still have a chance to defeat King Yan.
The firearms of the Dongying army and the firearms of the Shizu army are too different from those of the King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
Moreover, the physical fitness of their soldiers is far inferior to that of Western soldiers, let alone rare earth soldiers who are mostly educated and well-trained.
Although he knows that the best way now is to retreat when the trenches are defending against King Yan’s soldiers and horses.
However, at this moment, he finally realized that this king of Yan was a real threat.
In the Eastern Continent, such a powerful country was born.
In the future, they will definitely compete with Western countries for worldwide interests.
Going back this time, he really wants Britain and the country of Sam to provide the greatest support to Japan.
At the same time, arm Dasong’s powerful clan as much as possible to contain King Yan.
Otherwise, if this beast breaks through the cage, they will not be able to reap benefits in the east.
Therefore, he wanted the Eastern Allied Forces to continue to fight King Yan.
On the one hand, he can understand the strength of King Yan’s army, and on the other hand, he can continue to consume King Yan’s soldiers and horses, which is beneficial to their Western Lands.
The three of them have different thoughts.
The battle situation in the trench position became more and more unfavorable to the Eastern Turkmenistan Allied Forces.
The shelling lasted about half an hour and stopped.
At this moment, a group of Wangfu soldiers climbed out of the trench and rushed to the opposite side.
Under the bombardment of the howitzers, the soldiers of the Eastern Turkmenistan Army covered their ears and leaned against the earth wall of the trench.
The shelling stopped suddenly, and they didn’t react at all.
“Kill!” At the
narrowest part of the ditch, the soldiers of the Prince’s Mansion rushed through in just five or six seconds.
They jumped into the enemy’s trench and killed the Japanese soldiers.
With a single bayonet, the Japanese soldiers were pierced through.
After that, more and more royal troops jumped into the ditch and fought hand to hand.
On the top of the mountain, Zhao Xu watched the battlefield.
He didn’t like the unnecessary sacrifices made by the royal family’s soldiers, but the soldiers of the royal family were never afraid of sacrifice.
Dare to kill and fight is the soul of this army.
Otherwise, no matter how good the weapon is, it will not be able to exert its due power.
Furthermore, in this era, the Western Turk Army was at its peak in history.
Now, the war they are facing is nothing more than pediatrics, and the war in the future will only become more and more cruel.
He knew it since he took charge of Yanzhou.
He and this generation of Dasong people are destined to exchange blood and sweat for Dasong’s supreme glory.
