Steel Dynasty - Chapter 863

[Chapter 861: Beating you without negotiation]

A chilling atmosphere filled the battlefield, and the confrontation between the Busan City defenders and the Chongqing army seemed to condense the air.

While the Swedes and the British were talking, a muscular middle-aged man wearing a black three-cornered hat, a red swallow-tailed military uniform, white tights, and black leather boots walked up to the city wall.

The middle-aged man has brown hair, blue eyes, and a face that shows he is a good drinker.

“Robert, how are you feeling now?” Philip shouted rudely. He was a Portuguese, and this time the mercenaries were led by him.

“Too bad, you sent us to hell this time. God bless us, may we still get out of here alive.” The Swede known as Robert complained.

Philip’s face gradually became embarrassed when he looked at the Chongqing army that appeared outside the city. This army stood five hundred meters away from Busan City. Each soldier was wearing a green stand-up collared gown, and the shiny black leather boots on his feet were taller than his. My favorite boots are even more beautiful.

The most important thing is that there are thirty-six field guns placed in front of the army. They have never seen these guns in Asian countries.

“This is indeed a bit difficult to handle, but the price the Japanese country has given us is very high. As long as we complete this mission, we can go home and enjoy the happiness.” Philip encouraged his companions: “Guys, you must endure it, Gru, wait a moment Use our artillery to greet them hard, the Japanese artillery is really bad.”

After saying this, Philip showed an expression like a gambler.

Outside the city, the conversation between Ye Qingyun and Wang Xuan had ended. After informing Ye Qingyun about the situation of the mercenaries in the city, he set off for Haigu City.

There he will continue to be responsible for collecting intelligence about Japan and the West.

After seeing off the secret guards, Ye Qingyun and Qu Dong looked at each other and said: “These mercenaries have their own firearms. Their firearms are probably much better than those of the Japanese. We need to be more careful this time to avoid casualties as much as possible. In addition, we must Let these Westerners have a taste of our power.”

Qu Dong nodded confidently. Although Busan City is also a big city in Goryeo, the big city here is very different from the big city in Dayu. The wall of Busan City is only five meters high. What’s more, they don’t care about city walls and gates now.

Ye Qingyun spoke, and the control of the battlefield was handed over to him. At this time, he ordered the artillery to replace the fuse shells. As usual, they first had to deal with the artillery on the city wall.

At the same time, he ordered Li Chengzai to prepare for the ladder siege. This time he decided to adopt a new tactic. Li Chengzai’s Korean soldiers were the main attack, while his soldiers served as skirmishers to assist Li Chengzai in the battle.

He knew very well that these mercenaries were all veterans on the battlefield, and if they used previous methods, the losses would be huge.

When everything was ready, Qu Dong pointed at the city wall in front and shouted: “Fire!”

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Thirty-six field guns roared, and the shells rushed straight towards the top of Busan City.

The moment the artillery fired, the mercenaries instinctively hid under the battlements. They thought that the next impact would be a solid bullet, but the shell exploded immediately after hitting the city wall.

Under the huge power, the battlements were shattered like tofu, and some soldiers who had not yet had time to dodge were concentrated by the fragments splashed by the shells, and their bodies flew out and fell into a pool of blood.

“Damn it, damn it, how did they use the shells?” Robert yelled, his ears ringing and he was almost deafened.

Philip was also very embarrassed. Now he finally understood why the Japanese hired them at ridiculously high prices.

“Stop complaining and fight back immediately. I don’t want to die here.” Philip shouted, and he kept pulling the artillery soldiers up from the ground. “Kill their artillery positions!”

Taking advantage of the gap between the Chongqing army’s reloading of artillery shells , the gunners immediately rushed to the cannons. These twelve cannons followed their ships to Busan City. They were cast-iron cannons made in Britain and had a range of three miles.

After replacing the artillery shells, they aimed at the Chongqing artillery position under the city, and the shells of the twelve artillery pieces roared away.

At this time, Qu Dong was in front of the artillery position. He had been observing the situation on the city wall. When he saw a group of Westerners using artillery to fight back, he immediately shouted: “Attention!” As soon as

his voice fell, black solid shells were like Rushing toward them like lightning, the shells left twelve impact points in front of the artillery position, and two of the shells almost hit their field guns.

At the same time, the Japanese artillery also began to roar, but the range of their shells was too close, and there was almost no threat when the shells rolled in front of them.

“Cunning Westerners.” Qu Dong frowned. The Western mercenaries did not gather their twelve artillery pieces together, but scattered them among the Japanese artillery pieces. This made it difficult for their artillery counterattacks.

“Marksman!” Qu Dong shouted. For him, there was now a cheaper way to counterattack.

Under his order, ten sharpshooters crossed the artillery position and approached the city wall in a skirmish line. Three hundred meters away from the city wall, they relied on the barriers on the terrain to shoot.

A mercenary soldier who was about to reload did not realize it. When they continued to aim, a bullet suddenly focused on his chest.

At the same time, several other artillerymen were also injured.

Philip became more and more frightened. He saw what the other party was doing just now. “This is a distance of three hundred meters. Damn it, how did they do it.”

Robert was also stunned at this time. He said: “Even if we pulled The rifled musket only has a range of more than 200 meters, Philip, you are going to kill us this time.”

Even so, Robert still only directed the soldiers to fight back, because they understood the cost of failure, and now they could only fight desperately.

Artillery fire continued to roar on the battlefield, and Dayu’s artillery became more and more fierce. Every shelling of the city wall would take away the lives of the mercenaries.

Some of the city wall stacks collapsed in the explosion, leaving this section of the city wall blank, but even though the two sides were firing at each other, they still did not stop.

“Be careful.”

Under another round of shelling by the mercenaries, Qu Dong suddenly pushed the artilleryman in front of him away. At this moment, a solid bullet hit the wheel of the field gun.

With a “boom” sound, the wheels of the field gun deformed under the impact of the shells.

Looking at the unbalanced field artillery, Qu Dong said angrily: “Replace with lime bombs and let Li Cheng attack the city!”

After more than ten rounds of shelling, the walls of Busan City were riddled with holes, and the mercenary artillery lost seven or eight pieces. There were also many casualties in the gate, and the Japanese soldiers suffered even more heavy casualties.

For him, now was the time to attack the city.

On the city wall, the mercenaries cheered because they hit the Chongqing artillery. At this time, they saw the fire of the artillery again.

Instinctively crawling down to dodge, they only heard the dull explosion of the shells, which was obviously different from the previous times.

Raising his head in surprise, he saw that the city head was covered with white powder. Philip was a veteran. He instantly realized something. It was lime bombs.
