Chapter 738: Brave the Humble Sands
"You're smart. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ye Qingyun said lightly, in his opinion, these barbarians and Goryeo's wounded soldiers would also die in the next battle.
After all, the trampling of the siege soldiers was enough to kill them, and there was nothing to give to the merchants like this.
After thinking for a while, he said: "This matter will be agreed, but the soldiers will not provide you with protection, and it is up to you how many wounded soldiers you can bring back." ”
Ye Qingyun's words made the merchants ecstatic, they distributed the food to the soldiers, and then rushed to the city gate.
Taking advantage of the truce between the two sides, they were able to make a lot of money, after all, this slave hunting was a lucrative business, enough for the merchant to risk his life to search for wounded soldiers.
However, the truce lasted only an hour, and in the afternoon the barbarians launched an even more fierce siege.
The soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, who had eaten a full meal, returned to their positions at this time.
Throughout the afternoon, the ancient city of Hai has been staging a barbarian charge, artillery on the city wall, muskets are fired, the barbarians retreat, and then charge again, the process of retreat, in this tug-of-war, the barbarian army lost more and more soldiers.
……
The city of Beisha.
Yue Yun led the battleship to join Liu Chen and the others, and he frowned at this time looking at Beisha City on the mountain.
This city, like the ancient city of the sea, is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be difficult for them to take this ancient city of the sea so easily if they hadn't attacked from the sea.
And this Beisha city is even more of a headache.
"General, this Beisha City is also known as the Great Black Mountain City, the whole city is located on the south two peaks and adjacent ridges of the Great Black Mountain in Liaocheng Prefecture, the former land of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the entire city stretches for more than ten miles."
"According to historical records, this city was built by the Goryeo people in Daheishan a hundred years ago, with cliffs on all sides and the sea on three sides, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack." Liu Chen explained to Yue Yun.
Hearing this, Yue Yun nodded, he picked up the telescope and looked at the big black mountain five miles away, Beisha City was located on top of this mountain, according to his visual measurements, the highest point of this big black mountain was more than six hundred meters, and the surrounding sea area could be seen clearly from above.
"It's really a precipitous city in the world."
At this moment, Yue Yun also had to say that he admired the Goryeo people who really knew how to choose a place.
If they take this city, with the strong ships and artillery of the Great Yu Kingdom, the barbarians will have no way to deal with Beisha City.
He didn't understand it before, but now he finally understands the emperor's will, and having such a fortress is simply inserting a sharp blade in the heart of the barbarians.
However, it will be extremely difficult for them to attack the city.
"Prepare the mortar."
Yue Yun said at this time, no matter how difficult it is for him, he has to gnaw down, and the emperor has entrusted him with this important task, which is his trust in him.
At the request of the order, the accompanying marines immediately raised their mortars, which were most suitable for mountain warfare.
The fleet docked in the sea on the east side of Beisha City, and the marines rowed to the shore in small boats, and between the coast and Beisha City was a large barren tidal flat, and there was not a single person.
After leaving Haigu City this time, he took all the marines with him, leaving a small number of soldiers to guard the fleet, and he and Liu Chen led 5,000 men to Beisha City.
When the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom gathered on the sea, the Goryeo generals of Beisha City had already discovered them.
"It's like a whimsical attack on Beisha City."
Jin Dong, the defender of Beisha City, looked contemptuously at the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom who had already come ashore, and standing on the Great Black Mountain at this time, he could clearly see every move of the Great Yu Army.
"General Jin, Haigu City has been lost, don't be careless at this time." Park Jung-ho persuaded.
Kim Dong glanced at Park Jung-ho lightly, the last time when Bae-sun was in Beisha City, Park Jung-ho did not catch abalone, but lost several warships.
Because of this, the king of Goryeo was greatly displeased, and demoted Park Jung-ho to the rank of deputy general, and made him the chief general of Beisha City.
"This Beisha City is not an ancient sea city, the army of the Great Yu Kingdom can directly enter the city from the sea, but this Beisha City is built on the Great Black Mountain, and they have no way to fly up." Jin Dong is full of confidence.
Not to mention that this Beisha city is very precipitous, but there are 20,000 garrisons in this city, in the war of the Japanese kingdom, the king of Goryeo has wanted to move the royal capital here several times, if it is not for the king of Goryeo greedy for the prosperity of Liujing City, this matter would have been done a long time ago.
Park Jung-ho frowned, if it were an ordinary army, this Beisha City would naturally be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would be difficult for even 100,000 people to break through this place with the help of ladders and swords.
However, the people of Dayu use firearms, so all this cannot be inferred according to common sense.
Just opened his mouth, he didn't say anything in the end, Jin Dong has always been prejudiced against him, he understands that this Beisha City guard will not listen to him.
And he doesn't have any way at the moment, the army of the Great Yu State has already hit, and it is too late to make any preparations.
At the foot of the Great Black Mountain, Yue Yun and Liu Chen walked up the winding mountain road, and the soldiers followed closely behind them with their muskets behind them.
Seeing the precipitousness of this Beisha City with his own eyes, he understood more and more why he wanted to use a mortar that could be lifted by two people, instead of using a field cannon, because it was difficult to go up with hundreds of pounds of field artillery.
After walking along the mountain path for half an hour, the gates of Beisha City appeared in front of them.
The gate of this city is five meters high and about twenty meters long, made of stone masonry, and is flanked by vertical cliffs.
The moment they saw the gate of Beisha City, Yue Yun and Liu Chen's faces changed.
This was the only mountain path leading to the city, and they had to conquer it before they could take it.
"General, what now." Liu Chen looked at the Goryeo soldiers at the city gate and frowned.
Yue Yun frowned, there was no strategy to use in this case, the only way was to attack.
Thinking of this, Yue Yun said: "We don't have much time, once Bei Shan knows that we are in Beisha City, he will definitely rush here to help, and the only way to do this is to attack!" “
"Yes, General." Liu Chen's expression was solemn, and then he immediately asked the soldiers to lift the mortar cannon to the front, "Put on the lime bomb." ”
Under his command, the soldiers stuffed lime bullets into their mortars and threw them at the gate of Beisha in front of them.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
With a few explosions, white lime powder shrouded the Beisha City Gate, and at this time, Liu Chen immediately summoned two soldiers and asked them to rush towards the city gate with powder kegs.
While the Goryeo soldiers lost sight, they lit powder kegs.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the Beisha Gate, which was piled up of stones, was directly blown away, and the rocks fell from the sky and scattered all over the ground.
When the lime powder dissipated, Yue Yun and the others saw the scene behind the city gate, and the narrow passage behind the city gate was crowded with Goryeo soldiers with swords.
