Steel Dynasty - Chapter 731

[Chapter 730 Breaking the City]

The roar of the artillery was like rolling spring thunder.

The Korean people may not have known what artillery was a year ago, but during the war with Japan, they finally realized the tremendous power of this weapon.

Their army was retreating steadily under the attack of Japanese artillery and muskets, and they were unable to fight back. If it were not for the reinforcements of the Golden Horde, Goryeo would have been destroyed by now.

“The people of Dayu are coming…”

The Korean people in the chaotic Haigu City panicked and fled in all directions, fearing that the people of Dayu would enter the ancient city of Haigu to avenge Koryo’s humiliation of Dayu over the years.

As a large city on the coast of Goryeo, most of the Goryeo people who went to Dayu to plunder the country in recent years set out from here.

When these Koreans returned from the sea with boatloads of wealth, many Koreans in Haigu City became red-eyed.

As a result, many people in Haigu City joined the act of pretending to be the Japanese country and plundering the Yu Kingdom. When these people came back with gold and silver treasures, more people in Haigu City participated.

It can be said that from top to bottom in every Haigu city, every Korean is aware of the sins they have committed against Korea.

It is for this reason that the people in Haigu City were so frightened when the Great Chongqing invaded, because their hands were covered with the blood of the people of the Great Chongqing.

Li Chengzai ran into the city against the flow of people. He knew very well why Haigu City was in such chaos.

In the past, the country of Dayu was weak, and the Korean people had no scruples. After all, the country of Dayu at that time was like a businessman with no power to restrain a chicken. No one wanted to go up and grab a piece of it.

But now this wealthy businessman is suddenly armed to the teeth and vows to get his stolen wealth back. You can imagine what will happen next.

“Boom, boom, boom…”, the sound of artillery outside the city continued.

After arriving at the North City of Haigu City, Li Chen ran towards an alley.

His mother lived in the house at the end of the alley. When he was still young, his mother was driven out of the capital by his father.

Because in his father’s opinion, it was a shame for him, but although he did not want his mother to stay, his father did not allow his mother to continue to stay in the Jiaofangsi.

So his father sent his mother to Haigucheng to let her live here, away from Liujing City.

Over the years, Li Cheng would come here every time he missed his mother, but he never imagined that he would encounter the Chongqing shelling of the dock.

When he came to the yard, Li Chengzai pushed the door open. At this time, his mother was embroidering. When he saw his mother, Li Chengzai walked quickly and came closer.

“Cheng Zai, why are you here? Why is there such a big problem outside the city?” Li Cheng Zai’s mother was dressed in shabby clothes, and she could tell at a glance that she was living a very poor life.

Seeing his mother like this, Li Cheng was heartbroken. He had been working diligently and cautiously in front of his father all these years, but now he was empty-handed, with nothing left.

He was really unwilling to do so.

“Mom, it’s people from Dayu who are calling us. You should pack your things and leave the city immediately.” Li Chengzai didn’t say much and immediately packed his things for his mother.

Hearing this, Liu Caiying said anxiously: “It’s so dangerous, why are you still here? Why don’t you leave quickly.”

Li Chengzai didn’t say anything, and now he had no time to defend himself.

At this time, the dock outside Haigu City had been occupied, and marines continued to arrive at the dock from the sea.

Yue Yun on the Emperor watched all this, and he said: “Dock the ship at the dock, and send the artillery to them as well.”

While speaking, Yue Yun glanced at the field artillery on the deck, which was owned by the Marine Corps. Equipment, these big guys were hoisted onto the ship before departure, and now it was time to hand it over to the Marine Corps for use in siege.

“Yes.” The deputy general ordered the warship to sail to the dock immediately.

Seeing the flag signal from the Emperor, other warships also headed towards the dock at the same time, but now they had to be careful, after all, the attack just now had turned the place into a sea of fire.

The battleship nimbly passed through the silent battleship group of the Goryeo Navy. After a while, Yue Yun arrived at the dock, and Liu Chen, Xie Yuan and others also arrived.

“General, the dock is now completely under our control, what should we do next?” Liu Chen asked.

Before he could get enough of this naval battle, the Korean navy was beaten to a pulp.

Yue Yun pondered for a moment. In his plan, annihilating the Koryo Navy was just one step. The second step was to occupy Haigu City and force the King of Koryo to open the port.

So he said to Liu Chen: “As soon as the field artillery comes off the ship, you immediately attack the city and take Haigu City.”

“Yes, the general will take the order.” Liu Chen licked his lips excitedly.

What he was thinking now was different from Yue Yun’s. Yue Yun was thinking about how to force Goryeo to open its ports, while he had a deep hatred for Haigu City.

The pirates who have robbed the coast and killed fishermen over the years are all from this ancient sea city. He has been waiting for this day for all these years.

The excitement on his face was palpable, and Liu Chen immediately gathered six thousand Marines, which was almost the entire Marine Corps.

However, although the number of people is small, the equipment of the Marine Corps is not bad. They use rifled muskets that were shipped from the military workshop not long ago, and they are only a team of 6,000 people. They are also equipped with 36 field guns. This equipment The level of excellence is not inferior to that of the Qingzhou Army.

This shows that Xiao Ming now attaches great importance to the Marine Corps.

After gathering, the six thousand people immediately rushed towards Haigu City. At this time, the muskets were in front and the field artillery was behind. It only took about ten minutes for them to arrive at Haigu City.

Because the ancient sea city was built near the city, the ancient sea city was built almost close to the ocean, and the distance between the two was very short.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

As soon as the Marines arrived at the city, sporadic gunfire sounded from the walls of Haigu City.

Liu Chen looked at Haigu City and was surprised that there were artillery in Haigu City, but he no longer worried after just one glance.

Because there are only two cannons in this city, and judging from the shape, they were made by the Golden Horde.

“Knock out those two cannons.” Liu Chen’s eyes were firm. Although he had never seen the barbarian artillery, according to the intelligence, there was no technical improvement in the barbarian artillery in the past few years, and it still stayed at the current battle of Jizhou. .

And just two artillery pieces are nothing to be afraid of.

The artilleryman received the order and immediately lined up the field guns one after another. After correcting the angle, he issued the order for artillery fire.

In an instant, thirty-six field guns sprayed out flames, and black projectiles hit the city wall with stone chips flying.

After the cannon was fired here, the barbarian artillery on the city wall suddenly stopped. At this time, Liu Chen ordered to blast the gate of Haigu City fiercely.

As long as this is broken, victory will no longer be in suspense.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

With the explosions in the distance, the gate of Zhonghai Ancient City suddenly turned into a hornet’s nest. When the second bombardment hit, the gate suddenly shook and fell down.

At this moment, the sound of charging horns resounding outside the city began to hover over the battlefield.
