Steel Dynasty - Chapter 740
[Chapter 739 Barbarian Reinforcements]
“Hahaha…”
There was a burst of laughter in the camp, and Dorgo couldn’t help but have a smile on his face.
Now their path to the west was blocked by the Ottoman Empire, and their plans to recuperate became impossible because of the increasingly cold climate.
Now they only have one way to go south. This is not only a feud between the Golden Horde and the Chongqing Kingdom, but also a battle for the survival of the Golden Horde.
If this war involving the strength of the whole family is lost, the Golden Horde will be defeated by the cold and lack of food from now on, and disappear in the long river of history.
If they win, he will become the second grassland nation to rule the Great Yu Kingdom.
Therefore, now they have no way out, and attacking Dayu has become the only choice for every Golden Horde citizen.
Beishan, Wu Shugu smiled, and Liu Shijing shivered. These beast-like people actually let the Koreans act as human shields.
Although he thought so in his heart, Liu Shijing did not dare to show it at all. Now that the Golden Horde is the suzerainty of Goryeo, and even has the right of life and death over the King of Goryeo, what does he, a little envoy, mean?
“In that case, who is willing to lead the troops to fight this time!” Dorgo looked at his sons.
I can’t remember how many sons he had in his life, but the ones who survived to this day must be the best generals, because this is the rule of the Golden Horde, and only the most powerful Taiji is qualified to inherit the position of Khan.
“Father, let me lead the troops this time.” Bodo said loudly.
Beishan frowned and said, “Korea is under my jurisdiction, Bodo. When will it be your turn to intervene?”
Bodo was not afraid, but said with a hint of irony: “The second brother is in Koryeo and Japan.” After fighting for a year, I finally ceded half of Korea to Japan. Isn’t that shameful enough?”
Beishan’s face was very ugly, and he said, “Stupid, do you think I really can’t defeat Japan in this war? What I really want is the musket technology of Japan. “
“Hakata, Beishan is right. Although he ceded half of Goryeo this time, he obtained the musket manufacturing technology from Japan. Now we have it. A group of slave musketeers, “Dolgo defended Beishan, although the price was a bit heavy for him.
But Goryeo was just Goryeo after all, and the lost land did not belong to the Golden Horde after all.
Wu Shugu said at this time: “Bodo has been stationed in the Western Region, and it is understandable that he does not understand the situation here.”
Dorgo nodded after hearing this, “You are my best sons, and now the Golden Horde is At this critical moment of life and death, you must unite.”
“Yes, Father Khan,” said Bei Shan and others.
After scanning his sons with satisfaction, Dorgo said directly: “Let Beishan go this time, and also try the power of this musket.”
Beishan was also eager to try, the Golden Horde was not ordinary. A grassland tribe, but a country with a complete system.
There are many well-educated officials in this country, so the Golden Horde is not stubborn. They are willing to imitate whether it is artillery or muskets.
Their only purpose is to use these weapons to defeat his enemies.
“Thank you, Father.” Bei Shan said excitedly. The humiliation of the Jizhou War always lingered in his mind. Every time he fell asleep, he would kill the prince of Dayu Kingdom hundreds of times in his dreams.
After settling the matter, Dorgo said to Liu Shijing: “This time the Khanate sent 50,000 troops to Haigu City to help you recapture it in one fell swoop.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Shijing immediately knelt down deeply to Dorgo. The next day, he casually With Beishan, he marched towards Korea.
They arrived in Goryeo five days later, and at the same time the army prepared to march to Haegu City.
At the same time, while Beishan was dispatching troops and generals, Haigu City was also busy. When the barbarian army was dispatched, the secret guard quickly passed the news to Yue Yun.
This time when he occupied Haigu City, he had already taken into account the possibility of barbarian intervention, so both he and Liu Chen and others were mentally prepared.
“General, the barbarian army has arrived at Liujing City, and now the Goryeo army is coming to Haigu City.”
Liu Chen breathlessly told Yue Yun the information he had just obtained.
“Who is the general leading the army this time?” Yue Yun asked.
“Bei Shan.”
Yue Yun frowned, “Is this the Bei Shan who was defeated in Jizhou?”
“Yes, this time Bei Shan came with hatred. It is said that he also brought his own artillery and muskets.” Liu Chen Zhengse said.
“Musket? When did the barbarians have muskets?” Yue Yun was frightened.
Liu Chen said; “The technology of matchlocks is no longer a secret. Whether it is King Zhao, King Yan, etc., they all have mastered the art of arquebuses. It is not surprising that the barbarians got it. What’s more, they suffered from the shortage of muskets when they fought with the Japanese country.”
“Fortunately What they brought this time were rifled guns, with a range four to five times greater than that of a matchlock gun. “Yue Yun felt lucky, otherwise they would have suffered if it had been an ordinary flintlock gun.
“Even so, I’m afraid this battle won’t be that easy. This time Beishan brought a full 50,000 troops, and with the Goryeo army, we may not be able to hold on.” Liu Chen was worried.
The two of them were talking when suddenly Li Cheng appeared in front of them. When he got closer, Li Cheng said: “General, the barbarians are coming.”
Li Cheng’s face was obviously worried at this time, and now he could not turn back. If Haigu City is breached, his fate will be death, and the King of Goryeo and those officials will not bypass him.
So now he can only form an alliance with Yue Yun and others, so that his life can be protected.
“I already know about this. How are the trenches outside the city being dug now?” Yue Yun asked.
When he got the news, he asked Li Cheng to dig trenches outside the city gate. These trenches were equivalent to moats and could delay the soldiers’ attack.
He was not at all panicked by this barbarian attack, because the current strategy of Dayu was to burn the war in Goryeo.
To put it simply, their purpose was to fight the barbarians on the land of Goryeo and consume the power of the barbarians. If the barbarians lost this battle, it would mean that they had withdrawn from Goryeo’s sphere of influence. From then on, Goryeo would have to live in Dayu. Under the shadow.
“Back to the general, the trench has been completed and can be used at any time.” Li Chengzai truthfully told Yue Yun the situation outside the city.
Nodding, Yue Yun asked Li Cheng to go back first, and he said to Liu Chen: “Haigu City is not our final goal, Bisha City is the flank of the barbarians. While the barbarians and Goryeo are attacking in large numbers, you can lead some battleships Take the opportunity to seize Bisha City.
“General, what should we do here?” Liu Chen asked worriedly.
Yue Yun said confidently; “Reinforcements will arrive soon.”
ps: I’m sorry that I’ve been busy these days, but I’ll resume updating the four chapters tomorrow.
