Under the command of Satsuma Kuroda, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese-Korean coalition forces, the enemy harassed us day and night for three consecutive days and nights.
Zhang Yi arranged for the soldiers to take turns to go into battle, using dense arrows to kill the enemy.
In Ryugyong's armory, there are millions of arrows piled up and there is no end to them.
Our army will not fire artillery if it can, and the artillery shells will be fired one round and one short. In this peninsula battle, there will basically be no replenishment.
"How many shells do we have left?" Zhang Yi asked.
"A few days ago, we spent a lot of money in the siege. Now we have about 1,000 rounds of artillery shells of two calibers." Xiao Han replied.
"That's enough." Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
The technology of the artillery and the power of the artillery shells have withstood the test of actual combat. This force has matured rapidly and will definitely be the absolute main force in the southern and northern wars in the future.
"Try to kill the enemy general, Xiao Han," Zhang Yi patted Xiao Han on the shoulder and said, "Once they gather, fire decisively and boldly! There are several large military towns in the southern part of the peninsula. A few hundred rounds are enough.
Now, our biggest goal is to destroy the enemy’s main force.”
"I know, Yi Ge." Xiao Han said with a smile.
The two of them looked towards the north gate of the city.
The engineers have installed the new city gate, which is made of welded iron plates and is indestructible.
There were dozens of enemies scattered across the vast fields.
They were also afraid of shelling, so they broke into pieces and acted in small teams.
Kuroda Satsuma could not be seen at all. He was hiding in the rear and did not dare to show his face.
The artillery's participation in the battle completely stunned the enemy.
Overnight, the rules of war in the cold weapon era were subverted.
Group attacks, turtle formations, death charges, etc., all become living targets when encountering moving steel fortress armored vehicles and ultra-long-range artillery.
Generalissimo Kuroda Satsuma, who has been fighting all his life, suddenly no longer knows how to fight. The problem is that he still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. He dare not launch a large-scale attack and is unwilling to retreat. He is probably depressed.
dead.
Losing Liu Jing's supplies meant that he lost a strong guarantee. If Liu Jing could not be recaptured quickly, he would have to retreat step by step. If he wanted to raise enough food and grass in a short period of time to maintain this large army, it would be more difficult than that.
It’s even harder to reach the sky.
Xiaoliu saw this very clearly.
She smiled and said: "If Kuroda Satsuma is smart, he should abandon the Korean Peninsula and retreat the main army to Japan. However, he will not do this. His situation is very similar to that of Sun. He does not want to advance and does not want to
Back off. So, neither of them will end well."
"Your Highness the Princess said it well, they are in such a state." Fu Xiang agreed.
Zhang Yi smiled.
He picked up the telescope and looked north.
The number of enemy troops increases as you go north, and they are as dense as ants a few kilometers away.
What?
The enemy is digging trenches and building stone walls!
The weather has been bad these past few days and it has been foggy, so it is difficult to see the scene in the distance. Today the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and Zhang Yi discovered this enemy action.
It seems that Kuroda Satsuma wants to completely block Zhang Yijun's retreat.
At the same time, prevent the arrival of reinforcements.
Zhang Yi didn't take this approach of the enemy seriously. The question is, what is the current situation of the legions of Greater China?
This is an unknown quantity.
They are too far apart, and even if a battle breaks out, there is no way to know.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but worry about the soldiers of Greater China, but he had no good solution. If the troops left the city, they would be surrounded by the enemy's superior force. It would be foolish to do so.
He had a bad feeling about Vice Premier Sun.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath and stopped guessing. There was only one option right now, and that was to stay in Liujing City. No one could conquer the city.
If you persist until the enemy collapses without a fight, you can easily capture the entire peninsula.
This is what Zhang Yi thinks, and everyone thinks so.
…
Two more days passed.
The enemy continued to harass, and most of them were shot dead by our troops. They seemed to have come to die, running to the bottom of the city in vain, climbing ladders, and then died amidst desperate cries.
"These fools are clearly here to die, why would they launch a suicide attack?" Xiaoliu asked in confusion.
"It's not stupid, it's a cruel choice," Zhang Yi said clearly. "Kuroda Satsuma is like the devil. He uses Korean sticks to harass us and deliberately let these people die. There are two benefits to this. First,
Reduce his logistical pressure, and secondly, prevent the Korean stick from rebelling."
"It's so insidious!" Xiao Liu glared and said, "The Japanese pirates don't even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of the traitors. Fortunately we have city walls to protect us, otherwise, these guys would rush at them desperately, and it would be really difficult to deal with them.
Woolen cloth!"
This is indeed the case, Zhang Yi deeply agrees.
The city is littered with corpses. It is estimated that tens of thousands of Koreans have been shot and killed in the past few days, and the Japanese pirates are hiding behind to supervise the battle.
Afterwards, the Japanese pirates drove the local people and ran to the battlefield to collect arrows, armor and weapons. A group of skinny men, women and children looked extremely pitiful.
Their only food rations were taken away by Japanese pirates, and they could only die of hunger. They walked unsteadily and could die at any time.
"Yi Ge, I can't stand it anymore." Xiao Liu turned around and said sadly.
"There is no way, Your Highness, this is war. Every time there is a war, it is the common people who suffer." Fu Xiang sighed.
Zhang Yi saw a white-haired old man at the bottom of the city suddenly kneeling to the ground, stretching out his hands to ask for help from the soldiers on the city. A half-clothed child stood beside him, and the two looked desperate.
Heart palpitating.
In the distance, Japanese pirates waved Japanese swords and cursed and screamed.
"Xiao Han, fire at those Japs!" Zhang Yi ordered.
"Brother Yi, those are just ordinary Japs..." Xiao Han felt strange. Suddenly he realized what he was doing and said happily, "I understand, fire at the Japs!"
"Shi Gandang!" Zhang Yi shouted.
"The end is here!" Shi Gandang took a step forward and said.
"Lead the iron army to attack and bring all the people to the city!"
"Follow the order!"
Xiao Han commanded the artillery and fired a fierce blast at the Japanese pirates jumping up and down.
The city gate opened, and more than a thousand Mopan City iron troops rushed out of the city to cover the people who retreated into the city. The children who could not run directly hugged the horses.
By the time the enemy reacted and fired arrows, the city gate had been closed.
Acting quickly and decisively, thousands of people were rescued.
The men, women, old and young were unable to even cry at first, but now that they were rescued, they all knelt down to thank and howled loudly.
"Brother Yi is so benevolent and righteous!" Chen Yi said with emotion.
"Yi Ge is kind and righteous, but it depends on who he is right with, Brother Chen." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
She ran down to the city and ordered the Detachment of Women to provide food and arrange accommodation for these poor people.
