Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 747: Shocked Carter

"Clean up the battlefield and march to Rangcheng tomorrow."

After the war ended, Chang Wei inspected the battlefield.

In this battle, the strength of the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces forward was not much different from that of the Royal Palace's pro-army front.

One is 80,000 and the other is 60,000.

What's more, there are also 30,000 powerful troops involved.

When the ambush started, the soldiers of the Shi clan army surrendered in large numbers.

After all, they knew how the royal army treated prisoners.

There is still a way to survive if you surrender, otherwise there is only a way to death.

They didn't hold back the rest of the Japanese army at all.

However, compared to the powerful army, the Japanese army does have higher morale.

After all, Japan has been hoping to occupy Goryeo for a long time.

The soldiers of the powerful tribe came more to build their momentum, and they were not interested in coming to fight in Goryeo.

Therefore, most of the Japanese soldiers were annihilated, and only more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers chose to surrender.

After ordering this matter, Chang Wei sent people to Ancheng to report the battle to King Yan.

At the same time, he agreed with King Yan to meet at Lin County, Dongchang County, Goryeo.

There are six counties in Goryeo. Due to the narrow land, they are basically cut across the territory from south to north.

Therefore, each county is bordered by the sea on its north and south sides.

This Lin County is on the south coast, only half a day's sea journey from Ancheng.

Rested overnight.

Chang Wei sent two thousand soldiers to escort the prisoners to Qingbo Bridge West and hand them over to Yang Zhen.

He led the remaining soldiers and horses towards Lin County.

The forwards of the Eastern and Turkish Allied Forces were eager to pursue and did not leave a large number of troops to garrison in the captured counties.

Starting from Fengming Mountain, the royal army quickly recaptured Dongchang County.

During this period, Chang Wei's battle report also arrived in Ancheng.

Zhao Xu took a battleship and arrived at Lin County with King Goryeo and Yin Boming.

"General Chang is so majestic. He annihilated 80,000 Eastern-Turkish coalition forces in one fell swoop. It's really admirable." He followed King Yan into Lincheng.

The King of Goryeo saw that the soldiers of the King of Yan were all wearing dark green military uniforms, standing tall and straight, and they were strong and strong, making them look particularly powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a head shorter.

Looking at the rifled guns with bayonets in the hands of King Yan's soldiers, the word "fear" arose in his heart.

Seeing Chang Wei, he couldn't help but bow down and compliment him.

Chang Wei glanced sideways at the King of Korea and ignored him at all.

This time they entered Goryeo to fight for Da Song's benefit, not for Goryeo.

The King of Goryeo is no longer the King of Goryeo, he just manages Goryeo on their behalf.

When the King of Korea saw this, he coughed in embarrassment and did not dare to get angry. He just stood aside like a servant.

"How is the situation in Rangcheng?" Zhao Xu asked at this time.

This ambush battle was fought beautifully, as it should be.

Rifled guns and grenades are all superior to the Japanese army by more than one level.

If it's broken, he will kick Chang Wei's ass.

Therefore, this matter does not deserve his praise at all.

"Back to Your Highness, the Eastern and Turkish Allied Forces are digging trenches outside Yangcheng. They seem to want to use the method of raising the city to deal with us." Chang Wei said.

Although the ambush was a resounding victory, small groups of soldiers fled back.

The generals of the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces in Rangcheng were probably aware of the news that they had entered Goryeo to fight.

Zhao Xu heard this and sneered, "Then let them have a taste of howitzers."

The emergence of trench warfare did cause trouble for the attacking side.

But then came weapons aimed at trenches, namely howitzers and grenades.

Therefore, the Battle of Yangcheng was caused by the fact that the royal army could not capture the trenches dug under the command of the generals of the Western Territories.

He just wanted to take the first step to unify Jiangbei and was unwilling to pay unnecessary casualties under Yangcheng.

After all, in his opinion, the powerful people in Yangcheng must cross Jiujiang to Jiangnan.

Rather than taking Yangcheng without losing a single soldier, why should he let his soldiers die?

Furthermore, at that time, he was worried that the Eastern Turkmen Alliance would blockade Jiujiang and prevent him from going south.

In fact, he was right.

The situation at that time made it even more unnecessary to rush to capture Yangcheng.

Even if they were won in a bloody battle, they would not be able to cross the river for the time being.

Yangcheng.

Haruno Yamada, Carter and Xie An are supervising soldiers digging trenches.

The vanguard soldiers and horses were ambushed in Fengming Mountain, which shocked them extremely.

"Damn it, this King Yan is really a lunatic, there's no way he can figure out his thoughts." Carter kicked the sandbags stacked on the trench hard.

Yamada Haruno's face was as stained with ink as the 50,000 Japanese troops were gone like this, which made his heart feel like a knife, and the fire of hatred in his heart rushed straight to his forehead.

Before sending troops, they also considered King Yan, but immediately dismissed the possibility of King Yan sending troops to Goryeo.

After all, Goryeo was Beidi's sphere of influence. It was completely unreasonable for King Yan to save Goryeo.

But now the hard facts have given them a slap in the face.

King Yan indeed sent troops!

"It is said that King Yan suffered from a brain disease, and he is indeed different from ordinary people. From now on, we can no longer judge him with ordinary people's thoughts." Yamada Haruno said bitterly, "However, since he dares to intervene in Goryeo, let him be trapped this time In the quagmire of the Goryeo War.”

After a pause, he continued: "We still need to reveal this news to Beidi. Beidi is not willing to send troops to rescue Goryeo, but it certainly does not want to see King Yan occupy Goryeo."

Carter nodded after hearing this. If Beidi sends troops, it will definitely distract King Yan's energy, and maybe he can defeat King Yan.

But before that, they must defend Yangcheng.

Xie An's face was full of worry, but among the Eastern-Turkish Allied Forces, his words had no weight.

In his opinion, the best way now is to withdraw from Korea.

Compared with the Japanese and Western natives, they understood King Yan's temperament better.

As long as King Yan decides on something, he will definitely implement it to the end.

Moreover, Ningjin Dusi is adjacent to Goryeo, and the Yanzhou fleet can reach the coast of Goryeo at any time.

It would have been fine if King Yan had not intervened in Goryeo. Since he had intervened, why should he wait to die if he did not run away?

But he could only say this to himself in his heart.

Then he lamented his unlucky fate in being ordered to this damned place.

Three days passed.

The trench excavation outside Yangcheng was completed.

At this time, they finally saw the soldiers and horses of King Yan.

On the city wall, Carter saw the soldiers of King Yan wearing uniforms through the telescope.

His heart sank.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that this army is well trained.

At the same time, the style of muskets carried by the soldiers does not belong to the current equipment of the Western-Turkish army.

Moreover, he also saw horse-drawn field artillery and howitzers.

"God, they are so well-equipped." Carter's heart suddenly twitched, and he was extremely shocked.

Last time in Yangcheng, they only saw the muskets of King Yan's soldiers.

This was the first time he saw field artillery and howitzers.

He swore that compared with the field artillery and howitzers in the Western Turk Army, the two artillery pieces of the King of Yan Army were no different in appearance.

The only thing that remains uncertain is whether these field guns and howitzers are powerful enough.

He touched the cone-shaped bullet in his mouth.

At this moment, he even suspected that some of King Yan's firearms even surpassed those of Xi Tu.
