Steel Dynasty - Chapter 864

[Chapter 862 The treasure of Great Chongqing]

“My eyes.”

“Water, water.”

“…”

The painful screams of mercenary soldiers and Japanese soldiers kept ringing from the lime powder-covered city wall.

“This is lime powder!” Philip reminded him too late. Now a large number of soldiers were tortured by this lime powder and lost their combat effectiveness.

At this moment, a melodious trumpet sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield, followed by loud shouts of killing.

After using lime bombs to harass the soldiers at the top of the city, Qu Dong seized the opportunity and asked Li Chengzai to launch a charge, while the eight thousand Yu soldiers formed a skirmish line and moved towards Busan City.

They walked and shot, providing cover for Li Cheng as his soldiers attacked the city.

The arrival of soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom seemed to boost the morale of the Goryeo soldiers. They carried the ladders and rushed towards the Japanese Kingdom crazily.

In Goryeo’s official propaganda, Dayu came to help Goryeo drive away the Japanese. Therefore, the people of Goryeo were hostile to the soldiers of Dayu from the beginning to now becoming friendly.

Li Chengzai looked excited. Now only Busan City is left in the entire Goryeo. As long as Busan City is captured, according to the agreement, South Goryeo will be his.

So after the siege, he was extremely fanatical and kept urging the generals to attack the city desperately.

The Japanese soldiers and mercenaries at the top of Busan City had long been stunned. They had not yet recovered from the chaos caused by lime bombs.

I saw densely packed Goryeo soldiers carrying ladders to the bottom of the city. The most terrible thing was that the soldiers of Dayu were scattered on the long battlefield, shooting at the top of the city from time to time, and their soldiers continued to be killed and wounded.

“Philip, this city cannot be defended. There have been too many casualties among our brothers. We cannot continue like this. Let’s withdraw.” Robert urged hard.

He was hit by a bullet in the arm and now the blood donations are pouring in, while the other soldiers are no better.

The intensity of this war is not inferior to any battle in Europe, and relying on these two thousand mercenaries cannot change the situation of the war.

The other mercenary backbones also looked at Philip expectantly. Mercenaries exchanged their lives for money, but they didn’t want to die in this hellish place.

Philip no longer insisted, at least they had completed another mission, and now they had a full understanding of the military power of Dayu.

Back in Manila, their information was enough to exchange for a lot of money.

While the two were discussing, the Japanese flagman stationed in Busan City walked up to him and asked: “Why don’t you fight back? Fight back quickly! Otherwise I will kill you.”

Philip raised his head, and they were all licking blood with their swords. How could a living person be afraid of the threat of this Japanese flag?

If you stay here, you will die, but if you escape, you may still have a chance to survive. Now that the Chongqing siege has restrained most of the Japanese troops, now is a good opportunity to escape through the waterways in the city.

“Fuck you!” Philip cursed in Portuguese, and then he punched the Japanese flag book unconscious.

“Brothers, withdraw!” Philip shouted.

After receiving the order, the more than 900 living mercenaries quickly ran towards the city wall.

At this time, the ladders of the Goryeo soldiers were already leaning against the city wall, and a large number of Goryeo soldiers climbed up to the city wall through the ladders.

At the same time, the Chongqing soldiers also entered within a hundred meters of the city wall. At this distance, they accurately shot the Japanese soldiers defending the city.

For a time, the entire city wall was in chaos, and the Japanese soldiers had no time to care about what was happening here.

Philip led the people into the city, and they immediately headed east of the city. There was an underground river in the city, from which the sea could be reached directly.

It was from there that they entered Busan City.

Killing the Japanese soldiers guarding the underground river, more than 900 mercenaries fled from the underground river to the sea in small boats. At this time, the city wall fell.

After the baptism of guns, the morale of the Japanese country has been extremely low, and they have learned that this is the last city.

Looking at the Busan City lingering under the gunfire, Philip said fiercely: “Dayu, we will fight again, and then I will definitely let you experience the humiliation I experienced today!”

Robert looked at the battlefield numbly. , this was the first time they had deserted, and he knew how hard this hit Philip.

And their reputation would be rotten in the colonies and in Europe itself.

“Only the regular army can confront the army of Great Chongqing. This time when we go back, we will warn others and let them build fortresses in advance, and there is also this!” Robert held up something while speaking.

“Is this a cannonball from Great Chongqing?” Philip asked in surprise.

Robert nodded, “It’s strange that this shell didn’t explode, but you can see that this shell seems to be a little different from our explosive shells.”

“Smart Robert, I finally understand why you want to persuade us to retreat. I think no matter who it is, European countries will be happy to spend a lot of money to buy it, it is the treasure of Great Chongqing,” Philip said excitedly.

Robert laughed happily, “The life and death of the Japanese country is none of our business. This is the purpose of our coming here.”

After that, the two carefully wrapped the cannonballs, as if this was their only hope.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun and Qudong outside Busan City began to move towards Busan City. The battle for the city head was already clear. Now the Japanese army could no longer support it and was constantly retreating.

The soldiers of Goryeo and Dayu had already rushed into the city to start the final hunt.

“Commander Ye, those mercenaries have escaped!” At this moment, a scout rode up from the seaside.

Ye Qingyun frowned deeply when he heard this, and he complained: “This Yue Yun really didn’t come when he was supposed to come.”

Qu Dong was worried: “The new type of artillery shells still have misfires. If these supporting troops carry some misfire shells, What should we do if we leave?”

“Can’t we defeat each other with equal weapons? The army of Dayu State relies not only on weapons, but more importantly on the spirit of using the sword when facing the enemy.” Ye Qingyun looked serious. You don’t have to worry about this. The loss of these muskets and cannonballs started in the Battle of Jinzhou. In the words of the people in the military workshop, these things cannot be made by them. Even if they can be made, they will not be able to make them. It will consume ten times and a hundred times the resources, and by the time they have worked hard to build it, we will have already replaced it with new equipment. If they want it then, there is no harm in selling it to them.”

Qu Dong nodded, “I’m relieved.

“Now go and collect the Japanese firearms. Qingzhou has been urging them. It is said that new rifles are being produced, and they are waiting to sell the old firearms for replacement,” Ye Qingyun said with a smile

.

Qu Dong’s eyes suddenly lit up. This news had spread among the army. In recent years, the weapons of the Chongqing army have been updated frequently, almost once every two years.

Even he knew that such a large-scale change of clothes would be a heavy burden on the national treasury.
