Steel Dynasty - Chapter 849

[Chapter 847 One-sided]

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The roar of artillery and the explosion of artillery shells echoed on the pier, and smoke and flames became the background color on the pier.

The circular array of the Great Chongqing Navy continuously fired deadly artillery shells. Unlike solid shells, a few rounds of new artillery shells were often enough to sink a Japanese warship.

In the explosion, many Japanese warships sank one after another.

Yue Yun was also shocked by the scene in front of him. Although he knew that this new type of artillery shell would bring changes to the navy’s combat methods, the actual effect still surprised him.

“General, now the Japanese navy can only be beaten by us.” Liu Chen’s eyes reflected the flames and smoke, and the sea not far away was full of Japanese soldiers who fell into the sea.

They struggled in the water, and their screams contained fear. Although they were required to be absolutely loyal and brave in the Japanese country, in the face of such a devastating blow, human nature still overshadowed the training they received.

When Edo Yiming came to the dock, he saw exactly this scene. The hellish scene made his body stiffen.

The same is true for Junichi Koizumi. Now he finally realizes a problem. They underestimated the strength of Dayu.

Before attacking Goryeo, they had a detailed understanding of the Goryeo Dynasty. They found that Goryeo seriously valued culture over military affairs, which resulted in Goryeo’s army’s poor combat effectiveness.

The samurai who went to sea had constant contact with the Koreans and came to the same conclusion.

It was under this premise that Yamada Daimyo officially ordered the attack on Goryeo, but they neglected the Yu Kingdom. After all, Goryeo was under the name of the Golden Horde at that time, and the Golden Horde was busy at war with the Yu Kingdom. They determined that Dayu will not interfere in Goryeo’s war.

“Is this the firearm of Great Chongqing?” Edo Yiming said to himself, his heart shrouded in haze.

There is no doubt that the Suwon City Wharf is finished. The fleet of the Dayu Kingdom destroyed all the ships in the dock. Next, they will prevent any ship from docking at the Suwon City Wharf. Their supplies will be cut off and they will not be able to sail from Suwon City to the dock. Domestic transportation of materials.

It won’t take long for the entire southern Goryeo to become an isolated island, and the 80,000 Japanese soldiers on the isolated island will be isolated and helpless.

“Hatamoto, our navy is finished.” Junichi Koizumi held the katana in his right hand, his knuckles turning white, not sure if it was because of anger or fear.

Edo Yiming was silent for a long time. Looking at the burning dock, he shouted: “Let everyone withdraw into the city. The army of Dayu will not wait too long. They will attack the city tomorrow at the latest. Before that, we must be fully prepared.” .”

Koizumi Jun nodded. Now both he and Edo Yiming are aware of the gap between them and Dayu in terms of firearms.

But this is not a reason for them to give up resistance, because this war is not a melee between Japanese daimyo, but a war between Japanese and Dayu.

If they failed, they would definitely kill, now they had no choice.

After giving the order, Edo Yiming and Koizumi Junichi walked towards the city, leaving behind the dock that was reflected red by the flames.

At sea, Yue Yun and Liu Chen ordered the bombardment to stop, and all the Japanese warships were destroyed. They did not want to continue to waste cannonballs. After all, according to people in the military workshop, the cost of such cannonballs was much more expensive than solid bullets.

“General, where are we going now?” Liu Chen put down the telescope. They were sure that they had destroyed all the warships in the dock.

Yue Yun unfolded the sea chart. He pointed at the strait between Goryeo and the Japanese state and said, “We will blockade this place and prevent any Japanese warships from rushing to aid the Japanese army in Goryeo.”

“Yes.” Liu Chen was beaming. This battle was his. The most relaxing fight ever.

Yue Yun was equally excited. He looked in the direction of the Japanese country and said, “Mother, my son will avenge you soon.”

Suwon Bridge.

The rumbling sound of cannons also reached here. Ye Qingyun and Qu Dong looked at each other and smiled. They understood that this was the arrival of the navy of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

“Hey, now I want to see where these Japanese pirates are going!” Ye Qingyun said proudly.

Qu Dong smiled and said: “This Japanese country is overestimating its capabilities. According to the information provided by the secret guards, the Japanese country is too far away from the Chongqing Kingdom in terms of population, land, industry and commerce. The only thing that can be used is the matchlock gun and the British.” The smoothbore flintlock gun taught by others is just a weapon that has been eliminated by us.”

After a pause, he continued: “The knowledge in the military academy tells us that the war between two countries is more about each other .

National strength, there is no doubt that Japan has lost on this point.”

Ye Qingyun showed admiration, Qu Dong was one of the outstanding students who graduated from the military academy, and what they learned was almost completely different from what they had learned in the past.

And many of the novel theories are surprising, but I have to say that they all make sense.

“You are right. The Japanese country is just a small country. If we continue to fight, the country’s food, clothing, housing and transportation will have problems. It was precisely after seeing through the weakness of the Japanese country that the emperor decided to attack the Japanese country first, and then concentrate on dealing with Chu. King, after all, the King of Chu is the richest vassal king in the Chongqing Kingdom.”

Qu Dong nodded, “It only takes two months for us to end the war in Goryeo.”

As the two of them were talking, a sudden appearance appeared outside the camp. There was a noise, and then a soldier came to report: “Commander, the Goryeo army has arrived.”

Ye Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Fighting in Goryeo itself, the task of this cannon fodder was naturally shouldered by Goryeo.

Although these Goryeo troops are just scum to him, they can still play some role with their help. At least they can clean the battlefield, transport supplies, and attack cities with ladders.

“They arrived in time. The King of Korea was wise enough to let them station themselves in front of the camp.” Ye Qingyun said. He and Qu Dong were worried that the Japanese pirates would attack the camp at night, but now I am afraid that the Japanese would not dare to take risks easily. .

Otherwise, they will become lambs to be slaughtered at dawn.

As the night grew darker, 70,000 Goryeo soldiers wearing red armor and round hats began to set up camp.

This scene was discovered by Japanese scouts, and the news quickly spread to Suwon City.

“We only have 30,000 soldiers stationed in Suwon City. Even if we attack at night, we will be restrained by the Goryeo army. By the time we break through the Goryeo soldiers’ camp, Dayu’s army has already gathered, and we will not be able to take any advantage. “Edo Yiming slammed the table and said: “Give up the night attack, immediately reinforce the city, and immediately capture the Goryeo people in the city to use as human shields.” Koizumi Jun

nodded, showing a hint of cruelty .

To them, the people of Goryeo were no different from livestock.

But capturing these Goryeo people as human shields can achieve good results.

After the order was issued, miserable shouts soon rang out in Suwon City, and Korean people were driven out of their homes by Japanese soldiers.
