Steel Dynasty - Chapter 743

[Chapter 742 The city gate is broken]

The moonlight is bright, and there is no light on the ancient Hai City in the dark night. The dark and huge figure looks like a monster in the night.

Beishan suddenly felt heart palpitations as he looked at the ancient sea city in front of him. The tragic scene of the Jizhou battle appeared in his mind again.

The former Blood Wolf Guard was almost destroyed due to this battle, and his status in the Golden Horde also plummeted. He was invincible and has now become a joke in the eyes of all Taiji.

Clenching his fist fiercely, Bei Shan punched the artillery beside him. The Chongqing Kingdom destroyed him with the artillery, and he also wanted to use the artillery to destroy the Chongqing Kingdom.

The next day, a loud horn sound broke the original tranquility of Haigu City. The barbarians launched an attack on Haigu City after burying pots to make rice.

Ye Qingyun stood on the city wall and watched all this with cold eyes. After last night’s preparations, the ancient sea city had been deployed by him as solid as a fortress.

In particular, after being laid out overnight, trenches made of sandbags were piled up at the city gate. If the city gate was breached, it would become the second line of defense against the barbarians.

“General, General Yue has gone to Bisha City.” While Ye Qingyun was watching the battlefield, a soldier came to report.

Ye Qingyun nodded. The emperor had long expected that the barbarians would aid Goryeo. This battle was to protect Haigu City, and also to attract the attention of the barbarians and Goryeo, and take the opportunity to capture Bisha City.

Once they control this city that can reach directly into the hinterland of the barbarians, the Chongqing Kingdom will no longer just be defensive against the barbarians, but will become offensive.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingyun felt excited in his heart. The Chongqing Kingdom has been bullied so badly by the barbarians in recent years. Now every general is holding a breath in his heart and wants to wash away the humiliation of the Chongqing Kingdom.

What’s more, the barbarians have been threatening the security of Dayu in the north all year round. If the barbarians are not completely destroyed, Dayu will have another security threat on land.

“Get ready to fight!”

Ye Qingyun spat out four words lightly. Yue Yun was originally a naval general. They each had their own division of labor this time. If Yue Yun stayed here, he would be a little restrained.

After receiving his order, the soldiers on the city wall immediately aimed their muskets at the approaching barbarian slave soldiers outside the city.

The artillery was also loaded with shells and ready to bombard the barbarian artillery positions.

But then a scene that horrified them appeared. Just as the barbarian slave soldiers rushed towards the city gate carrying ladders, a group of unarmed Goryeo people stood in front of the artillery, driven by the barbarians.

Every time the barbarian artillery took a step closer to the city wall, they took a step forward to block the barbarian artillery.

“General, the barbarian artillery has been blocked.” Artillery Colonel Zoucheng said urgently. He was once a general under Luo Xin. After the army reform, he was transferred from Luo Xin’s command to Ye Qingyun’s army.

Ye Qingyun also saw this scene. He was not surprised. This was a common tactic used by the barbarians in fighting. To the barbarians, people other than themselves were just like pigs and dogs and were worthless.

“Hit!” Ye Qingyun spat out one word.

A general is unkind. After experiencing so many wars, he deeply understands this truth. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to his own soldiers.

As for these Goryeo people, they can only say that they brought it upon themselves. Since they abandoned the suzerain country of Dayu and continued to add insult to injury over the years, they must bear the consequences.

“Yes, general.” Zoucheng responded and shouted: “Fire!”

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The artillery roared, and the ninety-six artillery spewed out smoke and flames at this moment, and the black shells rushed straight towards the barbarians. direction of artillery.

There was a burst of screams, and the Goryeo people who were blocking the barbarian artillery fell down one after another, with blood and stumps scattered on the ground.

Under such a terrifying scene, the people of Goryeo were horrified. They ran back one after another, but what greeted them was the butcher’s knife of the barbarians.

All the Goryeo Baixin who escaped were killed by the barbarians’ scimitars.

Li Chengzai was also on the city wall. When he saw this scene, he gritted his teeth, his palms were sweating, and at the same time, a strong anger burned in his heart.

The barbarians never regarded the people of Goryeo as human beings. In Ryugyong City, he saw with his own eyes the atrocities committed by the barbarians in the city. This scene is not the first time that this scene has appeared on the land of Goryeo.

When fighting the Japanese, the barbarians also dealt with the Japanese in the same way.

With a feeling of sadness in his heart, Li Cheng looked at the well-dressed soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom. Although the Chongqing Kingdom was also an invader, at least they did not drive away the people as human shields.

The roar of the artillery continued, and the barbarian artillery finally entered the shooting range under the protection of human shields.

At this moment, Ye Qingyun’s heart tightened. This war might be more difficult than he imagined.

Under the city wall, the barbarian slave soldiers continued to rush over despite the fire of muskets, leaving large bodies on the ground.

Seeing the barbarian artillery move from 500 meters to 400 meters, and then to 300 meters, Ye Qingyun’s lips curved into a sneer.

Obviously, the barbarian artillery has not improved at all in these years, and the range is still about five hundred meters. In order for the cannonballs to be powerful enough to cause damage to the city wall, they must bring the artillery closer to the city wall.

But in this case, they will enter the range of the rifled guns, and the artillery will become a target at this moment.

So he said to a general: “Let the rifled gun team shoot at the artillery.”

After receiving the order, the rifled gun team immediately fired in the direction of the barbarian artillery. Now the barbarian artillery has entered the firing range of the rifled gun.

“Bang bang bang…”

The rifled riflemen on the city wall formed an array and fired at the barbarian artillery. The dense bullets immediately knocked down the Korean people who were blocking the barbarian artillery.

Then the first row of soldiers squatted down, and the second row of soldiers continued to shoot.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers had no time to drive away the people and immediately filled the gap. The barbarian artillerymen fell one after another under the second round of shooting.

The dense bullets kept making a clanking sound on the barbarian artillery.

Beishan was shocked when he saw this scene. He looked at the white smoke and fire that continued to emit from the city wall. When did Dayu’s muskets be able to hit people two to three hundred steps away.

Seeing that the artillery was about to blast open the city gate, Beishan shouted hysterically: “Drive all the Koreans over and blast open the gate of Haigu City no matter what.”

Under his order, the barbarian general blew open the city gate again. The melodious horn sounded, and at this time the barbarian cavalry held sabers and drove thousands of Koreans toward the artillery like sheep.

The dense human shields once again blocked the artillery. Taking advantage of this moment, the barbarian gunners immediately loaded the shells and bombarded the gate of Haigu City.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

More than sixty surviving artillery pieces out of a hundred artillery pieces poured shells onto the gate of Haigu City. In an instant, the gate collapsed.

Ye Qingyun almost broke his steel teeth, and the Haigu City Gate finally broke.
