Chapter 850: Naval Sortie

The smoke of gunpowder was still permeating the battlefield, and the Suwon Bridge was littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the bridge was stained red with blood donations, and the blood was flowing down the cracks into the river. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Qu Dong stepped over the corpses of the Japanese soldiers and walked to the bridge, the cruelty of the war made him never show mercy to the enemy, not to mention the slaughter of countless good people along the coast.

"Build fortifications immediately to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking." Qu Dong gave orders in an orderly manner, and in the Army Academy he learned a lot of skills in war.

Twenty minutes later, the remaining 7,000 people arrived at Shiqiao under the leadership of Ye Qingyun, and in addition to the musketeers, they were accompanied by thirty-six artillery pieces.

Their real goal is Suwon Castle, and as long as they take this city, they will have a bridgehead to attack other Japanese kingdoms and occupy the city.

"Yes, the battle was settled so quickly." Ye Qingyun said with a smile, and then he looked at the sky, "It's going to be dark soon, and this Suwon City can only be attacked tomorrow, but you have to be careful tonight to prevent the Japanese from sneaking up on the night." ā€

Qu Dong nodded, this matter really needs to be guarded against, and today's onboard charge of the Japanese still has some impact on him.

If the Woko were allowed to attack the camp at night, they would inevitably get into a hand-to-hand battle with the Woko, and then there would be a lot of damage.

After a pause, he said, "I'll have the soldiers lay some mines on the outside of the camp later." ā€

Ye Qingyun bowed slightly, I have to say that landmines are a good means of early warning.

Turning around, he looked at Suwon Castle, which was only twenty miles away from Suwon Bridge, and this was his next target.

At the same time, the cavalry that reported the news rushed into Suwon Castle, and the news of the attack on Suwon Bridge by the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom soon reached the ears of Edo Kazumei.

"Lord Qiben, this is not a good person in the Great Yu Kingdom, the envoys we sent to Jinzhou have not returned, they must have all been caught, and they are likely to ask about our alliance with the barbarians." Junichi Koizumi said.

Edo frowned, he put away his contempt after the defeat of the barbarians by the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, after all, he was a general and was responsible for the Daimyo of Yamada.

At the same time, they also obtained the captive muskets of the Great Yu Kingdom from the barbarians through the merchants, and they were very shocked by the excellent muskets that were drawn with rifles.

What surprised him the most was the way this musket was ignited, they couldn't understand it at all, but it was certain that this way made the soldiers of the Great Yu State shoot more often than they did.

"We should have cooperated with the Golden Horde sooner." Edo Kazumei walked to the window and looked down at the scenery inside Suwon Castle.

In the city, the people of Goryeo were enslaved by them, shuttling back and forth to carry supplies for them and repair the city.

After a pause, he said: "The range of the firearms of the Great Yu Kingdom is longer than ours, and we will suffer a lot if we still use three-stage shooting, and the only way is to fight them in close combat." ā€

Although they understood the gap between them and Dayu in terms of firearms, this did not mean that they had to withdraw from Goryeo.

No one would be happy to spit out the meat that had been put in their mouths, but now they needed to find a way to hold Suwon City.

"The soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom will not fight with us in close combat, maybe only a sneak attack can get close to them." Junichi Koizumi said.

Edo Kazumei nodded, they thought about the same as Junichi Koizumi.

While the two were discussing how to prevent the army of the Great Yu Kingdom from attacking Suwon City, suddenly a soldier hurriedly arrived in front of him and shouted: "Lord Qimoto, there are warships of the Great Yu Kingdom coming on the sea!" ā€

"What!" Edo was shocked, and he had an even more ominous premonition than just now, "I'm afraid that this time the Great Yu Kingdom is going to completely drive us out of Goryeo, after all, Goryeo is now a vassal state of the Great Yu Kingdom. ā€

Junichi Koizumi's face was gloomy, "On the dock, there are seventy Ataka ships docked with the Japanese Naval Division, which is one-fifth of the number of warships attacking Goryeo, if it is sunk by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the supply of Suwon City will be over." ā€

Of course, Edo Kazumei understood this truth, and his face turned red with anger, "Let the army in the city prepare, I must make the Great Yu Kingdom pay the price." ā€

With that, he led the guards to the docks.

At sea, the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom were heading towards the docks of Suwon City, and the two warships led by them were slightly different from the others.

Because a pillar sticks out of the center of such a battleship, from which black smoke constantly rises.

Compared to other warships, these two warships appeared to be at ease at sea, and their speed was much faster than other warships.

"General, in front of you is the dock of Suwon Castle, and it is through this dock that the Wa Kingdom will transport the wealth looted from Goryeo back to the Wa Kingdom."

Liu Chen pointed to the wharf full of Japanese merchant ships and warships, according to the time, it has been two years since the Japanese occupied southern Goryeo.

In the past two years, the Wa Kingdom has exhausted its talents in looting, and obtained a lot of grain, ore, gold and silver, which were used by the Wa State to purchase firearms.

It was even rumored that British ships were transporting supplies to the Wa Kingdom from the other side of the sea.

For this reason, Yue Yun also sent a warship to search, but in the vast sea, it was an almost impossible task to search for the enemy just by using the naked eye.

"If it weren't for the war with the barbarians, the emperor would have taken this place a long time ago, and let the Wa Kingdom take advantage of it for two years." For the generals of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, Goryeo has now become the backyard of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and no one else is allowed to touch it.

After that, he put away his binoculars and looked calm, "Artillery preparation, blockade of the southern coast of Goryeo will start here." ā€

"Yes, General."

Liu Chen answered, and immediately asked the flag bearer to send a signal, and then the fleet began to change formation, and fifty-two warships pressed towards the dock in a circle.

The steam warships that Yue Yun and Liu Chen were riding on were in the lead, and when they were only three hundred meters away from the dock, they aimed their guns at the ships in the dock.

One by one, fused-filled shells were stuffed into the muzzles.

At the same time as they moved, the warships of the Wa Kingdom also took action, and the Japanese sailors on the Japanese Ataku ship ran around, and the planks on both sides of the ship were lifted to reveal the swarthy muzzles.

"It's amazing." Yue Yun was surprised, the Great Yu Kingdom has been making progress in recent years, but obviously the Japanese Kingdom and Goryeo are also making progress, and the firearms seem to have spread with the foreign conquests of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, so that now the warships of the Japanese Kingdom also have artillery.

Liu Chen was also a little surprised, and he said, "It seems that this Japanese sailor can't stay." ā€

Yue Yun nodded and said coldly, "Fire!"

With his order, the guns on the battleship fired out one shell after another, and the Japanese soldiers habitually looked for a position to dodge.

But they were wrong this time.

The cannonball that hit their battleship exploded with a "boom", and suddenly the sawdust shattered, and the flames soared into the sky.
