Steel Dynasty - Chapter 745

[Chapter 744 Bravely enter Bisha City]

“You are quite smart.”

Ye Qingyun said lightly. In his opinion, these barbarian and Goryeo wounded soldiers would also die in the following battle.

After all, the trampling of them by the siege soldiers at that time was enough to kill them, but it was nothing to do this to these merchants.

After thinking for a while, he said: “I have agreed to this matter, but the soldiers will not provide you with protection. It depends on you how many wounded soldiers you can bring back.”

Ye Qingyun’s words made the businessmen ecstatic, and they will The food was distributed to the soldiers, and then they rushed to the city gate.

Taking advantage of the truce between the two sides, they could make a lot of money. After all, slave hunting was a lucrative business, enough for merchants to risk their lives to collect wounded soldiers.

However, the truce only lasted for an hour, and in the afternoon the barbarians launched a more violent siege.

The Chongqing soldiers who had had a full meal returned to their positions at this time.

Throughout the afternoon, the barbarian charge was being staged in Haigu City. Artillery and muskets were fired on the city walls. The barbarian soldiers retreated, then charged again and retreated. In this tug of war, the barbarian army lost more and more soldiers.

…

Besha City.

Yue Yun led the battleship to join Liu Chen and others. At this time, he frowned while looking at Bisha City on the mountains.

This city, like Haigu City, is also a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If they hadn’t attacked Haigu City from the sea, it would be difficult to capture it so easily.

And this Bisha City is even more of a headache.

“General, this Beisha City is also known as Daheishan Mountain City. The entire city is located on the two southern peaks of Daheishan Mountain and adjacent ridges in Liaocheng Prefecture, the former territory of Dayu State. The entire city stretches for more than ten miles.”

“According to historical records. This city is a mountain city built by the Koreans in Daheishan a hundred years ago. It is surrounded by cliffs and faces the sea on three sides. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, “Liu Chen explained to Yue Yun.

Hearing this, Yue Yun nodded. He picked up his telescope and looked at the Dahei Mountain five miles away. Bisha City was sitting on this mountain. According to his visual inspection, the highest point of the Dahei Mountain was more than 600 meters. , you can see the surrounding sea clearly from above.

“It’s really the most dangerous city in the world.”

At this moment, Yue Yun couldn’t help but admire the Korean people for really knowing how to choose a place.

If they take this city, with the strength of Dayu’s ships and artillery, the barbarians will be helpless against Beisha City.

He didn’t understand it before, but now he finally understood the emperor’s will. Having such a fortress was like inserting a sharp knife into the heart of the barbarians.

But in this way, it will be extremely difficult for them to attack this city.

“Get the mortar ready.”

Yue Yun said at this time, no matter how difficult the bone was for him, he had to break it. The emperor trusted him by entrusting him with this important task.

After receiving the order, the accompanying Marines immediately carried out the mortar. This kind of artillery is most suitable for mountain warfare.

The fleet docked in the waters east of Bisha City, and the Marines rowed to the shore in small boats. From the coast to Bisha City was a large stretch of deserted tidal flats, without a soul in sight.

This time he left Haigu City and took all the Marines with him. After leaving a small number of soldiers to guard the fleet, he and Liu Chen led 5,000 people to Besha City.

When the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom gathered on the sea, the Korean generals in Bisha City had already discovered them.

“It’s just as unimaginable as this to conquer Besha City.”

Jin Dong, the defender of Besha City, glanced disdainfully at the Dayu soldiers who had landed ashore. Standing on Dahei Mountain, he could clearly see every move of the Dayu army. .

“General Jin, Haigu City has been lost. Don’t be careless at this time.” Pu Zhenghao advised.

Jin Dong glanced at Pu Zhenghao lightly. The last time Bei Shan was in Bisha City, Pu Zhenghao did not catch abalone, but lost several battleships.

For this reason, the King of Goryeo was very dissatisfied and demoted Park Jung-ho to deputy general and made him the chief general of Beisacheng.

“This Bisha City is not an ancient sea city. The army of Dayu State can enter the city directly from the sea, but this Bisha City is built on Dahei Mountain, and they have no way to fly up.” Jin Dong was full of confidence.

Not to mention that Bisha City is very dangerous, but there are 20,000 troops garrisoned in this city. During the war with Japan, the King of Goryeo wanted to move the royal capital here several times. If the King of Goryeo hadn’t been greedy for the prosperity of Ryugyong City, this matter would have happened long ago. OK.

Pu Zhenghao frowned. For an ordinary army, this city would be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even a hundred thousand people would have difficulty breaking through it with ladders and swords.

But the people of Dayu used firearms, so all this cannot be inferred according to common sense.

He just opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything. Jin Dong had always been biased against him, and he knew that the Besha City guard would not listen to him.

And he has no choice at the moment. The army of Dayu has already attacked, and it is too late to make any preparations.

At the foot of Dahei Mountain, Yue Yun and Liu Chen walked up the winding mountain road, and the soldiers followed closely with their muskets on their backs.

Seeing the precipitousness of Bisha City with his own eyes, he understood more and more why it was necessary to use a mortar that could be lifted by two people instead of a field cannon, because it was difficult to get up a field cannon that weighed hundreds of kilograms.

After walking along the mountain road for half an hour, the gate of Bisha City soon appeared in front of them.

The Besha City Gate is five meters high and about 20 meters long. It is made of stone and is surrounded by vertical cliffs on both sides.

The moment they saw the gate of Beisha City, Yue Yun and Liu Chen’s expressions changed.

This is the only mountain road leading to Bisha City, and they can only capture Bisha City if they attack here.

“General, what should we do now?” Liu Chen looked at the Korean soldiers on the city gate and frowned.

Yue Yun frowned. In this situation, there was no strategy to use. The only way was to attack by force.

Thinking of this, Yue Yun said: “We don’t have much time. Once Bei Shan knows that we are in Bisha City, he will rush here to help. The only solution for now is to attack!” “

Yes, general.” Liu Chen looked solemn, Then he immediately asked the soldiers to carry the mortar to the front and “load lime bullets.”

Under his order, the soldiers stuffed the lime bullets into the mortar and threw it towards the Bisha city gate in front of them.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

With several explosions, white lime powder enveloped the Bisha city gate. At this time, Liu Chen immediately called two soldiers and asked them to rush towards the city gate carrying the gunpowder barrel.

While the Korean soldiers lost sight, they lit the powder keg.

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, the Beisha city gate made of stones was blown away, and rocks fell from the sky and scattered all over the ground.

When the lime powder dispersed, Yue Yun and others saw clearly the scene behind the city gate. The narrow passage behind the city gate was crowded with Korean soldiers holding swords.
