Steel Dynasty - Chapter 848

[Chapter 846 Navy attacks]

Smoke of gunpowder still filled the battlefield. The bodies of Japanese soldiers were everywhere on the Suwon Bridge. The bridge deck was dyed red with donated blood, and the donated blood flowed into the river along the gaps.

Qu Dong stepped over the corpses of Japanese soldiers and walked to the bridge. The cruelty of war made him never feel pity for the enemy, not to mention that these Japanese pirates massacred countless kind people along the coast.

“Build fortifications immediately to prevent Japanese pirates from counterattack.” Qu Dong gave the order in an orderly manner. He learned many war skills at the Army Academy.

Twenty minutes later, the remaining seven thousand people, led by Ye Qingyun, arrived at the stone bridge. In addition to the musketeers, they were accompanied by thirty-six artillery pieces.

Their real goal is Suwon Castle. As long as they capture this city, they will have a bridgehead to attack other Japanese occupied cities.

“Not bad, the battle was resolved so quickly.” Ye Qingyun said with a smile, and then he looked at the sky, “It will get dark soon. We can only attack Suwon City tomorrow, but we have to be careful tonight to prevent Japanese pirates. Make a sneak attack at night.”

Qu Dong nodded, this matter indeed needs to be guarded against. Today’s Japanese pirates’ onboard charge still has some impact on him.

If Japanese pirates are allowed to attack the camp at night, they will inevitably fall into hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese pirates, and then the damage will be much greater.

After pondering for a while, he said: “I will have the soldiers lay some mines outside the camp for defense later.”

Ye Qingyun nodded slightly, and had to say that landmines were a good means of early warning.

He turned around and looked at Suwon City, which was only twenty miles away from Suwon Bridge. This was his next target.

At the same time, the cavalry who reported the news rushed into Suwon City, and the news that the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom attacked Suwon Bridge quickly reached the ears of Edo Yiming.

“Sir Hatamoto, this is a bad sign from Dayu. The envoys we sent to Jinzhou have not returned. They must have all been caught. They may have forced us to ask about our alliance with the barbarians.” Koizumi Junichi said.

Edo Yiming frowned. After the Chongqing army defeated the barbarians, he put away his contempt. After all, he was a general and was responsible for Yamada Daimyo.

At the same time, they also obtained the Yu Kingdom’s captive muskets from the barbarians through merchants. They were very shocked by this excellent rifled musket.

What surprised him most was the ignition method of this musket. They could not understand this ignition method at all, but it was certain that this method allowed the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom to shoot one or two times more than they did.

“We should have cooperated with the Golden Horde earlier.” Edo Yiming walked to the window and looked down at the scenery in Suwon Castle.

The Korean people were enslaved by them in the city, and they shuttled back and forth to carry supplies and repair the city for them.

After a pause, he said: “The firearms of Dayu have a longer range than ours. If we still use three-stage shooting, we will be at a disadvantage. The only way is to fight them in close combat.”

Although he understood the gap in firearms with Dayu, But this did not mean that they had to withdraw from Goryeo.

No one would be willing to spit out the meat in their mouth, but now they need to find a way to defend Suwon City.

“The soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom will not engage in close combat with us. Perhaps we can only get close to them through sneak attacks.” Junichi Koizumi said.

Edo Yiming nodded, they were thinking the same thing as Koizumi Junichi.

While the two were discussing how to stop the Chongqing army from attacking Suwon City, suddenly a soldier hurried to him and shouted, “Sir Hatamoto, there are warships from the Chongqing Kingdom approaching on the sea!”

“What!” Jiang Hu Yiming was shocked. He had an even more ominous premonition than before, “I am afraid that the Great Yu Kingdom will completely drive us out of Goryeo this time. After all, Goryeo is now a vassal state of the Great Yu Kingdom.”

Koizumi Junichi His face was gloomy, “There are seventy Anzha ships of the Japanese Navy docked at the dock. This is one-fifth of the number of warships attacking Goryeo. If they are sunk by the Chongqing Kingdom, Suwon City’s supplies will be exhausted.”

Edo Yiyi Of course Ming understood this, his face turned red with anger, “Let the troops in the city prepare, I will make Dayu pay the price.”

After that, he led the guards to the dock.

At sea, the warships of the Great Yu Kingdom were approaching the Suwon City Pier. The two leading warships were slightly different from the other warships.

Because there is a pillar sticking out from the center of this kind of battleship, and black smoke is constantly emitting from the pillar.

Compared with other warships, these two warships appear to be at ease on the sea, and their speed is much faster than other warships.

“General, ahead is the Suwon City Pier. It is through this wharf that the Japanese country transported the wealth plundered from Goryeo back to the Japanese country.”

Liu Chen pointed to the dock filled with Japanese merchant ships and warships. According to time, the Japanese occupied Southern Goryeo also has two years.

In the past two years, the Japanese country had exhausted its plundering skills and obtained a lot of grain, ore, gold and silver, which were used by the Japanese country to purchase firearms.

There were even rumors that British ships were transporting supplies to Japan from the other side of the sea.

For this reason, Yue Yun also sent warships to search, but in the vast sea, it is an almost impossible task to search for enemies with the naked eye.

“If it weren’t for the war with the barbarians, the emperor would have captured this place long ago, and let the Japanese take advantage of it for two years.” For the generals of the Dayu Kingdom, Goryeo has now become the back garden of the Dayu Kingdom, and there is no room for others. Get involved.

After that, he put away the telescope with a calm expression, “Prepare the artillery. The blockade of the south coast of Goryeo will start from here.”

“Yes, General.”

Liu Chen responded and immediately asked the flagman to send the signal, and then the fleet began to change its formation. Fifty-two warships pressed toward the pier in a circle.

The steam battleships Yue Yun and Liu Chen were riding took the lead. When they were only three hundred meters away from the dock, they aimed their guns at the ships in the dock.

Cannonballs loaded with fuses were stuffed into the muzzle.

While they were taking action, the Japanese warships also took action. On the Japanese Anzhai ship, Japanese sailors were running around, and the planks on both sides of the ship were lifted, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns.

“It’s really surprising.” Yue Yun said in surprise. In recent years, the country of Chongqing has made progress, but obviously Japan and Korea have also made progress. Firearms seem to have spread with the foreign campaigns of the country of Chongqing, so that now Japan’s There are actually cannons on the battleship.

Liu Chen was also a little surprised. He said: “It seems that the Japanese navy can no longer stay.”

Yue Yun nodded and said coldly, “Fire!”

Following his order, the artillery on the battleship will Cannonballs were fired one after another, and the Japanese soldiers habitually found a place to dodge when they saw this.

But they were wrong this time.

The cannonball that hit their battleship exploded with a “boom”, and the wood chips shattered and flames shot into the sky.

PS: I am really too busy, so I have to spend money to hire a confinement sister-in-law for help, otherwise Snail will go crazy. There will be more time tomorrow, so Snail will update as much as possible, otherwise Snail’s old face will have no place to put it again.
