Steel Dynasty - Chapter 855

[Chapter 853 The territory of Han Dynasty]

Suwon City.

This place has been besieged for half a month, and now the food and grass in the city have been exhausted. If there is no more supplies, all the soldiers will starve to death.

“Hatamoto, if this continues, the soldiers will not be able to hold on.” Junichi Koizumi looked anxious on the wall. Because of hunger, there were several riots caused by food in the army today.

Edo Yiming was observing the army outside the city. During these fifteen days, these soldiers were not idle.

They dug several circles of trenches around the city, and all the Korean soldiers entered the trenches, looking like they would fight them to the end.

This scene made Edo Yiming despair. With the shelter of the trench, it would be more difficult for them to break through the encirclement.

Just when he was worried, suddenly dense gunshots came from the official road in the south of the city. At this moment, Edo Yiming became more and more silent.

He understood that these were reinforcements coming from other cities. Six batches of reinforcements had arrived in the past half month, but they were all defeated by the Chongqing army that had been ambushing here. If this continues, the Japanese army in the south will be like this. be wiped out.

Although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do. There was nothing he could do now.

Just as he guessed, outside the city, Ye Qingyun was commanding the musketeers in a fierce battle with the Japanese army who came to support them.

On the official road, the two sides formed a neat formation and fired at each other. With the advantage of range, Ye Qingyun chose to strike first every time.

This time he did not choose to attack from a distance of 150 meters, but from a distance of 200 meters.

They had gained experience on Suwon Bridge. In order to avoid the two sides falling into hand-to-hand combat, he chose to kill a large number of enemies from a long distance.

At the same time, the artillery used grapeshot, and the intensive firepower caused the Japanese soldiers to fall like wheat.

Often by the time the Japanese soldiers entered the range that they could reach, the array would have been destroyed.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the support team of more than 6,000 people finally collapsed and retreated along the official road.

At this time, a loud horn sounded suddenly, and a cuirassier group of five thousand people waved their machetes and chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry, the Japanese soldiers fell one after another, and soon the troops who came to support were completely wiped out.

Ye Qingyun observed the situation on the battlefield and smiled. On the fourth day of their siege of Suwon City, five thousand cuirassiers from Jinzhou arrived for support.

The arrival of these cavalry made the battlefield truly become the stage of the Great Yu Kingdom. The Japanese Kingdom, which lacked cavalry, was very embarrassed when facing these cavalry.

After the ambush battle ended, Ye Qingyun asked Qu Dong to count the number of casualties. It was almost the same as the previous times. This time they only had nine soldiers injured and no one died.

The advantage of firearms made it extremely easy for them to fight against the Japanese army.

“It seems that we have overestimated the Japanese. This time, the Japanese soldiers still use matchlocks. The flintlocks are only a small amount of equipment in the Japanese. Moreover, they are even more backward in terms of artillery. They do not have artillery that can fight us.” Qu Dong His eyes narrowed.

Ye Qingyun said: “I have sent people back to Qingzhou regarding the battle report on the battle with the Japanese army. The emperor will have an intuitive understanding of the Japanese army to formulate the next Japanese strategy. However, in my opinion, we will wait until the country is calmed down. The Japanese country takes action. It is said that the Japanese country has a lot of silver mines and gold mines.”

Ye Qingyun laughed very obscenely when he said this.

Qu Dong shook his head helplessly. He looked at Li Chengzai who was in a daze. He came with the cavalry of Dayu, and with him came the army he formed in Haigu City.

According to the current speed, it will only take them more than a month to regain South Korea. At that time, they will face the problem of who to hand over South Korea.

So at this time Ye Qingyun called Li Chengzai over, because according to the emperor’s order, South Korea will no longer be handed over to the King of Korea, but will be handed over to Li Chengzai to govern. A unified Korea is not in line with Dayu. the current interests of the country.

At present, their goal is to divide Goryeo into two parts. In the future, they will divide Goryeo again, restore the territory of the four Han counties during the Han Dynasty, and finally integrate the assimilated Goryeo into the territory of Dayu Kingdom.

In this situation, the King of Goryeo was no longer the King of Goryeo, but weakened into a county guard. In this way, it was more convenient for them to rule Goryeo.

“Li Cheng is here. Six batches of Japanese reinforcements have been defeated. It is estimated that the number of Japanese reinforcements will not be much. Therefore, you will have to rely on yourself to recover South Korea. We can only provide you with the necessary help.” Qu Dong Speak slowly.

Li Cheng came to his senses and made a plan for Ye Qingyun to take over the south after he took over Haigu City.

During this time, he has been recruiting troops. Ye Qingyun also provided him with a lot of flintlock guns. At the same time, he sent generals to train this army of 15,000 people, just for today.

“Yes, Mr. Qu.” Li Chengzai was a little worried, but also a little ecstatic. The humiliation he suffered in Liujing City made him eager to gain power.

Ye Qingyun also nodded at this time, and said: “Take your army and set off. In a month, I want to see a South Korea without Japanese soldiers.”

Li Chengzai nodded heavily, and he shouted an order. , set off southward along the official road.

Looking at Li Chengzai who was gradually going away, Qu Dong said: “The emperor is not afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf?”

“You are wrong about this. Do you think this army really listens to Li Chengzai? Don’t forget, The generals of this army are all selected and trained by us. Some of the generals are not Koreans, but are people from Dayu who were captured by Koryo and enslaved here. They are people carefully selected by the secret guards. They are very important to Dayu. Stay loyal.”

Qu Dong understood. At this time, he looked at Suwon City and said, “Commander, it’s Suwon City’s turn. If we remove this place, all the Japanese forces in Goryeo will be wiped out.”

Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, and based on his understanding, Suwon City’s food and grass supply would be enough for at least half a month.

He said: “Wait a little longer, we have to force them out. After all, these 30,000 people are the elite of the Japanese country this time and should not be underestimated.”

Qu Dong nodded, and the desperate struggle was still very dangerous.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of Suwon City suddenly opened, and the Japanese soldiers rushed towards the trench with shouts.

Ye Qingyun and Qu Dong looked at each other, and Qu Dong said: “I didn’t expect them to be able to bear it anymore. It just so happens that today we can deal with them once and for all.”

After that, he immediately asked the bugler to blow the horn.

The Chongqing soldiers who had just finished a battle immediately regrouped. They loaded their bullets and slowly moved toward the Japanese army in Suwon City with their muskets held high.
