Chapter 865: Beating You Isn't Negotiable
The atmosphere of slaughter permeated the battlefield, and the confrontation between the defenders of Busan and the army of the Great Chongqing Kingdom seemed to condense the air. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
While the Swedes were talking to the British, a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a black tricorne, a red tuxedo uniform, white leggings, and black leather boots walked up to the city wall.
The middle-aged man has brown hair, blue eyes, and a wine trough face that indicates that he is a good drinker.
"Robert, how's your mood right now?" Philip rudely shouted that he was Portuguese and that he was leading the mercenaries this time.
"It's too bad, you're sending us to hell this time, God willing, we'll get out of here alive." The Swede, known as Robert, complained.
Philip's face gradually became embarrassed as he looked at the army of the Great Chongqing Kingdom that appeared outside the city, this army stood five hundred meters away from the city of Busan, each soldier wearing a green vertical collared long shirt, and the shiny black leather boots on their feet were more beautiful than his favorite boots.
The main thing was that in front of just the army were placed thirty-six field guns, which they had never seen in an Asian country.
"It's a bit difficult, but the price we get from the country is very high, as long as we complete this mission, we can go home and enjoy it." Philip encouraged his companions: "Guys, you must stand up, Gru, and we will greet them with our artillery later, the artillery of the Japanese country is really bad." ”
After saying this, Philip showed the same look as a gambler.
Outside the city, the conversation between Ye Qingyun and Wang Xuan had ended, and after informing Ye Qingyun of the situation of the mercenaries in the city, he set off for Haigu City.
There he would continue to be responsible for gathering intelligence on the Wa Kingdom and the West.
Sending away the secret guards, Ye Qingyun and Qu Dong glanced at each other, and he said: "These mercenaries have their own firearms, and their firearms are probably much better than those of the Japanese State, so we need to be careful this time to avoid casualties as much as possible, and in addition, we must let these Westerners taste our strength." ”
Qu Dong nodded confidently, although Busan City is also a big city in Goryeo, but the big city here is too different from the big city of Dayu, the wall of Busan City is only five meters high, not to mention that now they don't care about the city wall and the city gate at all.
Ye Qingyun spoke, and the dispatch of the battlefield was handed over to him, and at this time he ordered the artillery to be reloaded with fuses and shells, as in the past, they first had to solve the artillery on the city wall.
At the same time, he ordered Yi Chengzae to prepare for the siege of the city, and this time he decided to adopt a completely new tactic, with Li Sungzai's Goryeo soldiers attacking the main attack, and his soldiers as a skirmish line to assist Li Sungzai in battle.
He knew very well that these mercenaries were all veterans on the battlefield, and if they used the previous methods, they would inevitably suffer a lot of losses.
When everything was ready, Qu Dong pointed to the front city wall and shouted, "Open fire!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Thirty-six field guns roared, and the shells rushed straight towards the head of Busan Castle.
The moment the cannon fired, the mercenaries instinctively hid under the battlements, expecting that the next would be the impact of solid shells, but the shells exploded immediately after hitting the walls.
The battlements shattered like tofu with great force, and some of the soldiers who had not had time to dodge were concentrated by the fragments of the cannonballs, and their bodies flew out of the air and fell in pools of blood.
"Damn, shit, how they used the flowering bomb." Robert screamed, his ears ringing and he was almost deaf.
Philip was also embarrassed, and now he finally understood why the Japanese would hire them at a bizarre price.
"Stop complaining, fight back now, I don't want to die here." Philip shouted, and he kept pulling the artillery up from the ground, "Kill their artillery positions!" ”
Taking advantage of the gap between the reloading of the artillery shells of the Great Chongqing army, the gunners immediately rushed to the artillery, and these twelve guns were made of British-made cast iron cannons with a range of three miles to the city of Pusan, which followed their ships to the city of Busan.
Instead of shells, they aimed at the artillery positions of the Great Chongqing State under the city, and the shells of the twelve guns whistled away.
At this time, Qu Dong was in front of the artillery position, he had been observing the situation on the city wall, and when he saw a group of Westerners using artillery to return fire, he immediately shouted: "Attention! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, solid black shells rushed at them like lightning, leaving twelve landing points in front of the artillery positions, two of which almost hit their field guns.
At the same time, the Japanese artillery began to roar, but their shells were too close to reach them, and there was little threat when the shells rolled in front of them.
"Cunning Westerners." Qu Dongda frowned, the Western mercenaries did not concentrate their twelve artillery pieces together, but scattered them among the Japanese artillery, which made it difficult for their artillery to counterattack.
"Marksman!" Qu Dong shouted, there was now a cheaper way for him to fight back.
Under his command, ten marksmen crossed the artillery positions in a skirmish line towards the city walls, and at a distance of three hundred meters they fired from the barrier on the terrain.
One of the mercenary soldiers, who was about to reload, was unaware of it, and as they continued to aim, a bullet suddenly concentrated in his chest.
At the same time, several other artillerymen were wounded.
Philip became more and more frightened, he saw what the other party was doing, "It's a distance of three hundred meters, hell, how did they do it." ”
Robert was also stunned at this time, and he said: "Even our rifled musket only has a range of more than two hundred meters, Philip, you are going to kill us this time." ”
Having said that, Robert still only commanded the soldiers to fight back, because they knew the cost of defeat, and now they had to fight hard.
The artillery fire continued to roar on the battlefield, and the artillery of the Great Chongqing Kingdom became more and more ferocious, and every shelling of the city walls took the lives of the mercenaries.
Some of the battlements of the walls collapsed in the explosion, leaving the section of the wall empty, but the exchange of fire from both sides continued.
"Be careful."
Under another round of artillery bombardment by the mercenaries, Qu Dong suddenly pushed the artillery in front of him away, and at this moment, a solid bullet smashed firmly on the wheel of the field gun.
With a "boom", the wheels of the field guns were deformed under the impact of the shells.
Looking at the unbalanced field artillery, Qu Dong said angrily: "Change to lime bombs and let Li Cheng attack the city!"
Under more than a dozen rounds of shelling, the walls of Busan Castle were riddled with holes, the mercenaries lost seven or eight guns, and many people died, and the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
For him, the time had come to storm the city.
On the city wall, the mercenaries cheered as they had hit the artillery of the Great Yu Kingdom, and it was at this moment that they saw the light of the artillery again.
Instinctively crawling down to dodge, they heard only the dull explosion of the shells, which was noticeably different from the previous ones.
Raising his head in surprise, he saw that the city was covered with white powder, and Philip was a veteran, and he instantly realized something, it was a lime bullet.
