Iron Dynasty

General Ye.

Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun gave each other a military salute.

Looking at the soldiers coming from the merchant ship, Yue Yun let out a heavy breath and said, General Ye, the barbarian army is expected to arrive in the afternoon. Whether this ancient city of Haicheng can be defended depends on the general.

General Yue is at ease, the emperor has a purpose, so Ben will do his best to protect the ancient city of Hai. Ye Qingyun said.

Hearing this, Yue Yun's expression relaxed.

Then, he looked at the merchants looking around on the pier and asked, What are these people doing?

Without waiting for Ye Qingyun to speak, Liang Dahai added: These are slave catchers from Qingzhou, and they all want to take this opportunity to catch some slaves in Korea and go back.

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

Seeing Yue Yun's confused look, Liang Dahai told Yue Yun about Xiao Ming's private arrest of slaves, which made Yue Yun understand.

Unfortunately, the price of a young slave in Qingzhou is now at least 30 taels of silver. As long as the slave ship only needs to catch 100 people at a time, the profit from this return is 3,000 taels. Yue Yun said after pondering for a while. .

Liang Dahai nodded, Even so, the supply is in short supply. Now Qingzhou is not only a businessman and aristocrat who own slaves. It is said that the wealthy people have also started to cultivate slaves. Maybe it is for this reason that the emperor will allow private slave capture this time. .

Ye Qingyun looked at the slave hunters at this time. All of them were wearing armor and holding shiny weapons, like a small army.

Slavery is a dangerous business, so many merchants will hire some wicked people to do it, and they only need to provide ships and weapons.

While talking about the slaves, the group walked towards the ancient city of Hai.

Arriving in the city, Yue Yun introduced the ancient city of Haicheng and the current situation of Goryeo to Ye Qingyun.

It's this Bei Shan again, he's really haunted. 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 he can do anything to avenge his anger. Yue Yun said; There is a man named Li Chengzai in this ancient city of Hai, and he told us that this time the barbarians The reason for the truce with the Japanese country is that Bei Shan asked the Japanese arquebus craftsmanship.

Li Chengzai? Is that the Goryeo who surrendered to you? Ye Qingyun asked, he also read a lot of information before coming.

Yue Yun nodded, Yes, it's him. His father holds an important position in Liujingcheng, so what he said should be true.

The secret guard doesn't know anything about such an important matter. It seems that the secret guard can't do anything. Ye Qingyun shook his head with a wry smile.

It would be scary if they knew everything. Yue Yun could see clearly.

Ye Qingyun chuckled and he said, Even if the barbarians have arquebuses, it's not like they haven't encountered them before on the battlefield. King Yan, King Zhao, and King Liang all have a group of arquebus troops. The muskets of the slaughtered muskets swarmed, and this time we came to the ancient city of Haicheng with some heavy muskets that were just made by the military workshop.

Yue Yun showed an interested look. Now both the army and the navy are very sensitive to new equipment. After all, the war advantages brought by weapons make them stronger and stronger.

He couldn't help but said anxiously, Let me see what this heavy musket is?

Ye Qingyun was like an urchin who was eager to show off. He took Yue Yun outside, and then called a soldier and asked him to transfer the heavy musket.

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

The two stopped in front of Yue Yun. At this time, Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun, This is a heavy musket. For this battle, the emperor personally transferred a hundred such heavy muskets from the military workshop.

Yue Yun's eyes were sluggish. In his view, he was facing an enlarged flintlock gun, but in addition to being large, the heavy musket was a little different. That was, there was a support in the middle.

The heavy musket can be rotated up, down, left and right through this support, which allows the heavy musket to strike in any direction.

How powerful is this? Yue Yun sighed.

It's more powerful than a musket. It's very good against both cavalry and infantry. Setting this thing up on the city walls and city gates is enough to cause a lot of casualties to the enemy. Ye Qingyun said to himself.

The two were talking when suddenly a scout came to report and said to Yue Yun: General, the barbarian forward has arrived at the ancient city of Haicheng, and they are now waiting for the follow-up army to arrive.

Hearing this, Yue Yun and Ye Qingyun looked at each other, and their expressions became more solemn.

At this time, Ye Qingyun said to Yue Yun: General Yue, let us take care of the defense of the city. This time, we will let Bei Shan keep his life here.

After all, Ye Qingyun rushed to the north gate with the soldiers without turning his head, and climbed the city wall.

This sea ancient city faces the sea on one side, and the mountains on both sides of the east and west are in love.

Discovering the characteristics of the ancient city of Haicheng, he decisively deployed soldiers and weapons on the northern city wall, and at the same time transported heavy muskets and field guns to the city wall.

When Ye Qingyun was preparing, the barbarian army arrived under the ancient city of Haicheng one after another, and the continuous barbarian army stretched into a long black dragon on the ground.

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

This time the barbarians brought a lot of artillery. It seems that they are going to use our method to open the city gate.

By the color of the dusk, Yue Yun saw the artillery in the barbarian army. There were a hundred artillery pieces, which made him feel a layer of pressure.

For the artillery, this gate is basically useless. As soon as the gate is broken, the barbarians will drive the slave soldiers into the city and defeat them with the advantage of the number of people.

So after hesitating, he said to Yue Yun, Let Li Cheng find some sand in a bag and pile it up at the gate of the city. 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 went down the city wall to find Li Chengzai.

He is much stronger than Yue Yun at sea, but he has to listen to this veteran who has experienced many battles in defending the city. Now he only hopes to defend the ancient city of Haicheng.

PS: In case of an emergency, the four chapters will be updated tomorrow, and we will never break our promises.
