Steel Dynasty - Chapter 744

[Chapter 743: Beaten]

“Kill!”

Bei Shan saw the smoke and dust from the collapse of Haigu City Gate.

There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. For him, the opportunity to wash away his humiliation was right in front of him. At this time, he roared and ordered the army to rush towards the city gate.

Ye Qingyun’s expression was solemn, but he was still calm and composed. At this time, the calm and calm characteristics of a general appeared in him.

After the city gate collapsed, some barbarian slave soldiers and Korean soldiers who tried to climb using ladders began to pour in from the city gate.

At the same time, most of the soldiers were still carrying ladders to attack the city. They were doing this to contain the troops on the city wall.

At this time, Ye Qingyun said to the deputy general: “The city wall is left to you.”

“Yes, general.” The deputy general looked resolute. Relatively speaking, the city wall is much more stable now. Not many enemies can climb it under muskets and bayonets. Climb up.

Ye Qingyun arrived under the city wall, when a sound that was lower than artillery and brighter than muskets suddenly sounded, and the barbarian slave soldiers pouring in from the city gate immediately fell to the ground.

Ye Qingyun had anticipated this situation last night, so he arranged fifty of the one hundred heavy muskets at the city gate, and built the sandbag trenches he learned from the Army Academy at the city gate. .

This kind of sandbag trenches can protect soldiers from being shot by bows and arrows and enemy muskets. Secondly, the layers of trenches can also hinder the movement of opposing soldiers.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers rushed into the city gate and saw a strange scene in front of them.

In front of them stood a wall made of rows of linen bags. On the inside of the wall stood densely packed Chongqing soldiers.

There are also some huge muskets protruding from the wall, and one shot of these muskets will cause massive damage.

“Soldiers, the dignity of Dayu cannot be lost in our hands. Even if we fight to the last man today, we must defend Haigu City and kill!”

Ye Qingyun came to the battlefield in person. The morale of the soldiers in front of the city gate was high. They placed bayonets On the musket, he was always ready for hand-to-hand combat with the barbarian soldiers.

At this moment, they were fighting for the glory of Great Yu.

“Bang bang bang…”

Heavy muskets and rifled guns sprayed flames wantonly. In order to guard the city gate, Ye Qingyun also deployed rifle gunners at the city gate.

Under fierce shooting, the barbarian soldiers who entered the city gate fell one after another, and the city gate was soon filled with corpses.

Time gradually passed, and from early morning to noon, the barbarians made no progress under the fierce firepower.

With the sound of a soft horn, the barbarian siege army, which had left eight thousand corpses behind, began to retreat.

In the barbarian camp, Bei Shan’s face was so gloomy that he could shed tears. He thought that by breaking through the city gate, he would be able to rush into the city and fight to the death with the Chongqing army.

But he was wrong. So far, he had just left a pile of corpses at the city gate. However, the siege army collapsed due to the desperate attack. As a last resort, he could only order a suspension of the attack.

“Taiji, the Dayu people’s muskets fired too far. Many soldiers were killed two hundred steps away. Our artillery gunners also suffered heavy casualties.” Guduo said.

Beishan cracked his knuckles and said angrily, “Why are there so many strange firearms in the Chongqing Congress?”

Guduo’s eyes dimmed and he said, “This is not the most terrifying firearm behind the city gate. Run back.” The soldiers said that there is a large musket there, which can kill more than a dozen people every time it is fired.”

Beishan’s face turned pale when he heard this. The slave soldiers and Korean soldiers were fighting less and less, but now there is no hole in Haigu City. If this continues, only the soldiers of their Golden Horde will do it in person.

Although the soldiers of the Golden Horde are not afraid of death, if they lose too much, they will still be ridiculed by other Taiji.

After all, the Golden Horde has likely lost a large number of people in battles with its enemies over the years.

At this moment, Beishan suddenly regretted his persistence this time. If he failed again this time, there would be no hope for his throne.

While Beishan was anxious, the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom in Haigu City breathed a sigh of relief. They took advantage of the truce at noon to eat immediately to replenish their strength.

“General, this heavy musket is powerful. It fires faster than artillery, and two people can carry it around. It is very convenient for support. This time the barbarians have suffered enough.”

Ye Qingyun and the soldiers sat around Eating scallion pancakes together.

This is the ration they brought from Dengzhou. The ingredients are flour, oil, salt and green onions. It is said that the emperor personally taught Qingzhou military kitchen to make it.

This kind of cake is very fragrant and soft when it comes out of the pan, but it becomes very hard when it is cold. When the weather is not hot yet, it will not get moldy even if you carry it with you for a month. This time when I came to Haigu City, they made Each soldier carries enough scallion pancakes for half a month, which greatly reduces the pressure on logistics.

It is for this reason that now flour pancakes and scallion pancakes have become the staple food when fighting outside.

“This is the emperor’s foresight. This kind of thing is specially used to deal with barbarians.” Ye Qingyun looked relaxed.

According to his observation, the Goryeo soldier was basically frightened all morning and would definitely not attack the city desperately in the next battle.

The barbarian artillery was basically destroyed by them, and the barbarian could only use human lives to fill the hole.

While they were eating, Liang Dahai suddenly appeared with a group of businessmen. Each of these businessmen was followed by seven or eight servants.

Each of these servants was carrying a basket, and the basket was steaming.

Seeing Liang Dahai, Ye Qingyun frowned, “Liang Dahai, we are fighting now, what do you mean?”

Liang Dahai was not angry either. He said with a smile: “General, this is the good intention of the merchants. This time they came from Dengzhou, and their merchant ships were filled with potatoes, chickens, ducks and fish. Now in order to reward the soldiers, they I specially cooked some for you.”

With smiles on their faces, the merchants opened the basket, and there was indeed a sumptuous meal inside, including boiled potatoes, boiled chicken, pork and so on.

The soldiers were immediately greedy when they saw this. Looking at these delicacies, the scallion pancakes in their hands lost their taste.

Zou Cheng licked his mouth and said to Ye Qingyun, “General, there are still fierce battles to be fought in the next few days. Only when the soldiers are full will they have strength.”

Ye Qingyun glared at Zou Cheng, but he did not let go. Instead, he said: “To be courteous for nothing, to be either a traitor or a thief, what do you slave traders want to do?”

A businessman rushed to say: “It’s actually very simple. I hope the general will allow us to take away the injured barbarians and Korean soldiers.” “

Ye Qingyun immediately understood the intentions of these merchants. There were injured barbarians and Korean soldiers everywhere outside the city gate. Some of them were not seriously injured and could be healed with care.

After these people recover from their injuries and then sell them, this can be thirty taels of silver.
