"General Ye. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun gave each other a military salute at the Haigu City Wharf.

Glancing at the soldiers coming from the merchant ship, Yue Yun exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and he said; "General Ye, the barbarian army is estimated to arrive in the afternoon, and it depends on the general whether this ancient sea city can be defended."

"General Yue is at ease, the emperor has an order, so that General Ben will do his best to protect Haigu City." Ye Qingyun said.

Hearing this, the expression on Yue Yun's face relaxed.

Then he looked at the merchants on the dock and asked, "What are these people doing?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Qingyun to speak, Liang Dahai added: "These are all slave hunters from Qingzhou, and they all want to take advantage of this opportunity to catch some slaves in Goryeo." ”

This plan to capture slaves was proposed by him, and his original intention was to let Liang Dahai come to Goryeo to participate in the slave hunting, but now this situation obviously surprised him a little.

Seeing Yue Yun's confused look, Liang Dahai told Yue Yun about Xiao Ming's opening of private slave hunting, and Yue Yun understood.

"It's a pity, now the price of a young slave in Qingzhou is at least thirty taels of silver, as long as the slave catching boat only needs to catch a hundred people at a time, the profit will be three thousand taels." Yue Yun said with a deep groan.

Liang Dahai nodded, "Even so, it is in short supply, now Qingzhou is not only merchants and nobles to keep slaves, it is said that the rich people have also begun to cultivate the land with slaves, maybe it is for this reason that the emperor will allow private slave hunting this time." ”

Ye Qingyun looked at those slave hunters at this time, all of them were wearing armor and holding shiny weapons in their hands, as if they were a small army.

Slave hunting was a dangerous task, so many merchants hired some of the most vicious people to do it, and they only needed to provide ships and weapons.

While talking about slaves, the group walked towards Hai Ancient City.

When he arrived in the city, Yue Yun introduced the ancient city of Hai and the current situation in Goryeo to Ye Qingyun.

"It's this Bei Shan again, it's really ghostly, it's a pity that the cannon in Jizhou didn't kill him." Ye Qingyun said regretfully.

"No, this Bei Shan hates the Great Yu Country the most, and now in order to take revenge, he can do anything." Yue Yun said; "There is a person named Li Chengzai in this ancient sea city, and he told us that the reason for the truce between the barbarians and the Wa State this time is that Bei Shan asked for the arquebus craftsmanship of the Wa State."

"Li Cheng is there? Is that the Korean man who surrendered to you? Ye Qingyun asked, he had also read a lot of information before coming.

Yue Yun nodded, "That's right, it's him, his father is in an important position in Liujing City, what he said should be true." ”

"The secret guards don't even know anything about such an important matter, and it seems that the secret guards can't do it." Ye Qingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If they know everything, that's terrible." Yue Yun saw it very clearly.

Ye Qingyun chuckled, he said; "Even if the barbarians have arquebuses, it is not that they have not encountered them on the battlefield, King Yan, King Zhao, and King Liang all have a group of arquebus troops, and they are not beaten by our muskets, and we have also brought some heavy smoothbore guns that have just been made by the military workshop to the ancient city of Hai this time."

Yue Yun showed an interested look, now both the army and the navy are very sensitive to new equipment, after all, the war advantage brought by weapons makes them bigger and stronger.

He couldn't help but say hurriedly: "Let me see what this heavy smoothbore gun is?" ”

Ye Qingyun was like a naughty boy eager to show off, he took Yue Yun outside, and then called a soldier and asked him to transfer the heavy smoothbore gun.

After a while, two soldiers ran towards them, one carrying a huge flintlock pistol, the other carrying a wooden box.

The two stopped in front of Yue Yun, and then Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun; "This is a heavy smoothbore gun, for this war, the emperor personally transferred a hundred such heavy smoothbore guns from the military workshop."

Yue Yun's eyes were glazed, in his opinion, what he was in front of was a large flintlock gun, but in addition to the large one, the heavy smoothbore gun was a little different, that is, there was a support in the middle.

The heavy smoothbore gun can rotate up and down, left and right through this support, so that the heavy smoothbore gun can hit in any direction.

"How powerful is this?" Yue Yun sighed.

"More powerful than a smoothbore gun, it is good against both cavalry and infantry, and it is enough to inflict a lot of casualties on the enemy by erecting this thing on the walls and gates." Ye Qingyun said confidently.

As the two were talking, a scout suddenly came to report and said to Yue Yun: "General, the barbarian vanguard has arrived at the foot of Haigu City, and they are now waiting for the follow-up army to arrive. ”

Hearing this, Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little more solemn.

At this time, Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun: "General Yue, let's take care of this matter of defending the city, this time we are going to let Bei Shan leave his life here." ”

After that, Ye Qingyun rushed to the north gate with his soldiers without looking back, and went up to the city wall, he took out his binoculars and looked at the environment around the ancient city of Hai, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

This ancient sea city faces the sea, and the mountains on the east and west sides are stacked, and the barbarians want to conquer the sea ancient city only by attacking it head-on.

Discovering the characteristics of Haigu City, he decisively deployed soldiers and weapons on the north city wall, and at the same time transported heavy smoothbore guns and field guns to the city wall.

While Ye Qingyun was preparing, the barbarian army arrived at the foot of the ancient city of Hai one after another, and the continuous barbarian army stretched into a long black dragon on the land.

In the evening, the barbarian army seemed to have all arrived, and at this time, Ye Qingyun had also completed the preparations for war, just waiting for the barbarians to attack the city.

"The barbarians have brought in a lot of artillery this time, and it seems that they are ready to use our methods to open the city gates."

Through the color of dusk, Yue Yun saw the artillery in the barbarian army, and there were a hundred of these cannons, which made him feel a layer of pressure immediately.

As far as the artillery is concerned, the gate is basically useless, and as soon as the gate is breached, the barbarians will drive the slave soldiers into the city and defeat them with the advantage of numbers.

So after hesitating, he said to Yue Yun: "You immediately let Li Cheng look for some sand to put in a bag and pile it up at the city gate, as for how to pile it up, I will send someone to tell him personally." ”

Yue Yun's face was heavy, Yue Yun's face made him understand that this battle was not so easy, he nodded, and personally went down the city wall to find Li Chengzai.

He was much stronger than Yue Yun at sea, but he still had to listen to this veteran who had been through a hundred battles in defending the city, and he only hoped to be able to defend the ancient city of Hai now.
