Steel Dynasty - Chapter 792

[Chapter 791 Three Ways to Advance]

“Let the soldiers withdraw and replace one or two regiments!”

Facing the barbarian slave soldiers crazily pouring into the trench, Lu Fei hurriedly ordered.

The barbarians were relying on their numbers to fight him. The soldiers who rushed up just now were two regiments of soldiers. After a fight, the soldiers of this regiment were very tired. They would suffer a lot when encountering this group of energetic slave soldiers.

After receiving the order, the bugler immediately blew the evacuation horn, and the two regiments in the trench immediately withdrew. During the evacuation, they also carried the injured soldiers back and immediately sent them to the medical officer in the camp. Responsible for treating wounds.

The barbarian slave soldiers pursued the two regiments and quickly rushed to the front of the trench. At this time, Lu Fei immediately ordered the musketeers to shoot.

Some barbarian slave soldiers standing on the trench immediately fell down. Seeing this, these slave soldiers immediately got into the trench and did not show their heads again.

At this time, the two substitute regiments took the opportunity to jump into the trench and continued to fight with the barbarian slave soldiers.

The entire battlefield was filled with artillery, musketry and the sound of fighting.

The flag bearer on the rising hot air balloon continuously conveyed the fighting situation to Lu Fei and others in the camp, and then passed the orders of Lu Fei and others to the battlefield.

Because of this flexible transmission method, the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom were very flexible in their operations, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner. There was no chaos at all like the barbarian soldiers losing their command when they left the city.

“It seems that Pingzhou City is really going to become a meat grinder. How long will it take before we can break the city if it continues like this?” Lei Ming said.

Luo Xin was very indifferent and said: “What are you in a hurry? We were originally to protect Qi Guangyi and Ye Qingyun. As long as we can capture Liaocheng and cut off the communication between the barbarians and Goryeo, it will be equivalent to breaking another arm of the barbarians.”

“That’s right, Qi Guangyi is responsible for disrupting the barbarians’ spring plowing, and Ye Qingyun has cut off the barbarians’ access to food from Goryeo. Let’s see how the barbarians fare this winter.” Lu Fei laughed.

…

Huajue Island.

When leaving Pingzhou City before getting the army, Qi Guangyi decided to land near Jinzhou according to the established plan.

The order he received this time was very simple, which was to cause destruction behind the barbarians and plunder the population. This was the same purpose as the barbarians’ invasion of Dayu.

Unlike previous wars, they will focus more on plundering wealth.

“All aboard!”

Qi Guangyi shouted to the soldiers on the island.

Under his order, soldiers led horses one by one onto huge naval battleships. During this war, these battleships will be responsible for transporting soldiers.

But even so, delivering the three people to Qingzhou is still an arduous task. For this purpose, the Chamber of Commerce also provided many large merchant ships to help.

Huajue Island is very close to Jinzhou, the direct distance is only 140 miles, and it only takes them half a day to get there by boat.

In order to save time, they decided to set off in the evening so that they could arrive near Jinzhou early the next morning.

The secret guards have found a concealed and convenient place for them to land, where they will set up a temporary camp.

The next morning.

The mighty fleet appeared on a beach sixty miles east of Jinzhou City.

The barbarian land is sparsely populated, and the settled population is as large as that of Dayu, concentrated near Congcheng. Such remote beaches are also inaccessible.

The cavalry disembarked from the ships and first built camps on the beach. This plunder of the barbarians would be protracted. The task of the caravan was not only to transport soldiers, but also to transport the plundered materials to Beisha City, and then transfer them from Beisha City to Dengzhou.

The first batch of 8,000 cavalry took three days to build a camp near the beach. On the fourth day, along with the last batch of cavalry, there were 3,000 musketeers who would be responsible for protecting the camp.

When everything was ready, Qi Guangyi led the cavalry towards Jinzhou City.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun was marching towards Liaozhou with 40,000 musketeers and 6,000 cavalry.

After staying in Goryeo for nearly a year, Ye Qingyun already knew Goryeo and the barbarian cities very well.

So when he received the order to attack Liaozhou, he admired their emperor very much, because Liaozhou was the gateway for barbarians to control Goryeo.

If Liaozhou was captured, the barbarians would have to travel long distances at the risk of not having supplies if they wanted to attack Goryeo.

Fortunately, Liaozhou is not very far from Besha City, and it only takes three days to get there.

If Liaozhou City is captured, the iron triangle of Goryeo will be formed, and it will be easier for them to control Goryeo.

Three days later, under the guidance of the Korean guide, they arrived outside Liaozhou City.

Facing a strange environment and a strange city, Ye Qingyun was not nervous at all. He quickly sent out cavalry to investigate the surrounding situation.

At the same time, the Korean businessmen he bribed reported the internal situation in Liaozhou.

“Originally there were a lot of cavalry in Liaozhou City, but it was said that there was a cavalry attack from Dayu outside Jinzhou, so the cavalry in the city rushed to encircle and suppress it. Now there are only 20,000 barbarian regular infantry and 40,000 barbarian slave soldiers in the city. .” said the Korean businessman.

Ye Qingyun nodded and said: “Well done, I will tell President Li and give you some business.”

“Thank you, general, thank you, general.”

The Korean businessman said excitedly, now as long as it is with Dayu, All the Korean businessmen who were engaged in business have made a fortune. He also hoped for it day and night, and now it has finally come true.

After waiting for a while, the hunting cavalry who went out to investigate reported that no ambush was found around them. At this time, Ye Qingyun finally felt relieved.

Judging from the actions of the barbarians this time, they also increased their troops in Liaozhou, but it was obvious that they did not pay enough attention.

With a smile on his face, Ye Qingyun ordered, “The first division is responsible for the east gate, the second division is responsible for the south gate, the third division is responsible for the north gate, and the fourth division is responsible for the west gate. Before the sun sets, I want to eat roast lamb in Liaozhou City. “

Yes, Commander!”

The four division commanders responded at the same time, and then they ordered their generals to immediately surround Liaozhou City.

After arriving at their respective positions, they ordered the attack.

Because of the military reform, each division is an independent fighting unit, equipped with musketeers, artillery and cavalry.

After the siege was launched, the rumble of cannons rang out from every city gate.

The barbarian soldiers in Liaozhou City had already discovered the sudden appearance of this group of Chongqing soldiers, and they had sent out scouts to ask for help before the siege.

Now they just hope that reinforcements can arrive quickly.

But the speed with which the Chongqing army conquered the city gate exceeded their expectations.

After the city gate was blasted open by artillery, the musketeers immediately poured into Liaozhou City from the four city gates at the same time, and the sound of killing was loud.

Ye Qingyun showed a satisfied smile. Facing 60,000 barbarian infantrymen armed with swords, he was not worried at all. Such an army, no matter how brave it was, could not block the firearms attack.
