Iron Dynasty

A cold wind blew through, and Ye Qingyun couldn't help tightening his clothes.

A few days ago, a whistling from the north came, and it seemed that Goryeo had entered winter overnight.

Commander Ye, Li Chengzai's progress is going well, and now they have controlled twenty-seven cities in South Korea, and now there is only one Busan City left.

Busan City? Ye Qingyun looked at the sand table on the table, which was just created by someone from the General Staff.

From this sand table, he can see the whole island of Goryeo.

Qu Dong nodded, There is a cauldron-shaped mountain behind Busan City, and this city is named for this reason. In addition, according to the order of the General Staff, we will build a dual-use pier in Busan for both military and civilian use. , so that the navy can go directly to the Japanese country from Busan City, thus controlling the sea frontier of the Japanese country.

Ye Qingyun nodded, The emperor once said that this place is very suitable for building a deep-water port, so is there any difficulty for Li Cheng to take Busan now?

Like Suwon City, the Japanese country attaches great importance to Busan City, and compared to Suwon City, this Busan City has been in business for a longer time. There are a large number of Japanese soldiers in the city, which can be said to be a fortress. Qu Dong said.

The cold winter is about to enter. For Ye Qingyun, he does not want to continue fighting in the winter. He said: Busan Castle is now the only stronghold of the Wa Kingdom in Goryeo. As long as this place is removed, the Wa Kingdom will be completely driven out of Korea by us. In order to keep this place, the Japanese country will definitely do everything in its power.

After a pause, he continued: It is estimated that it will be difficult to rely on Li Chengzai to win this city. Since the emperor wants this city, we will directly send troops to Busan City, so that the war can be ended before the cold winter comes, and at the same time. It is also logical to occupy this city.

Yes, Commander Ye. Qu Dong agreed with Ye Qingyun's approach, the cold winter was a test for both soldiers and equipment.

And because it is too cold, sometimes the pier will freeze in winter, which is definitely a disaster for the soldiers far away in Goryeo, because it will mean the difficulty of supply.

After giving the order, Ye Qingyun continued to look at the sand table, and then he planted a dragon flag on Busan Castle.

On November 27th, after the eighth march, Ye Qingyun led 8,000 soldiers to arrive at the foot of Busan Castle to join Li Chengzai's army.

Commander Ye, the number of Japanese soldiers in Busan City is not less than that, and there is also a mercenary composed of Westerners. They fight fiercely and their firearms are more advanced than those of the Japanese.

Seeing Ye Qingyun, Li Cheng trotted all the way to him and vomited bitterly.

Mercenary! Ye Qingyun frowned, he understood that Li Cheng was very worried now, and the defeat in the war made his face pale.

But this excuse still made him a little annoyed, The Japanese country has never had any Western mercenaries.

I didn't have it before, but now I have it. Suddenly a voice came.

Ye Qingyun looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Wang Xuan walking towards him.

You, the head of the secret guard, have appeared here. It seems that Li Cheng is not lying. Ye Qingyun's brows furrowed deeper, Didn't the navy block the coast of Goryeo? How come there are still ships coming here.

Wang Xuan glanced at Busan City not far away. This city was built on a mountain and faced the sea. Only two sides were suitable for siege warfare.

He said: A warship is just a seed falling into a river to the sea. It is impossible for such a large sea area to be without flaws, not to mention that the Japanese nation is mobilizing navy to fight back. Yue Yun can only concentrate on destroying them first.

Ye Qingyun spread his hands, Then let's talk about the mercenaries, what happened to them?

Edo Yiming's body has returned to the Japanese country. This incident has shocked the Japanese daimyo, especially Yamada. He is now estimated to be driven crazy, because the daimyo have always been in conflict. Wang Xuan said: In fact, Yamada is not a famous name with a long history in the Japanese country. He came from a humble background. He used to be a farmer. Later, he followed the Fujiwara family of the Japanese country to conquer the northern mountains. The daimyo still looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, and it is for this reason that Yamada's behavior is so extreme.

Ye Qingyun said lazily: I don't care about his past. Now he is our enemy. Whether he is a big name or a peasant, he has to pay the price now.

Wang Xuan shook his head, As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing yourself can win a hundred battles. You are still a fool. It's one thing to defeat the Japanese country in Goryeo, but it's another thing to attack the Japanese mainland. It is only by taking advantage of the contradictions between the big names. It is the foundation of the disintegration of the Japanese country. Once Yamada Nobunaga loses his prestige, then the Japanese daimyo will probably continue to fight their own way, and it will be much easier to open the Japanese market at this time.

Ye Qingyun rubbed his head painfully. He and Wang Xuan were already familiar with each other. Now the commander of the secret guard is becoming more and more narcissistic, and he always looks like he is teaching others.

He immediately changed the subject, Let's talk about the situation in Busan City, what happened to this mercenary?

It was recommended to him by the British people around Yamada. The death of Edo Izumi has caused a great loss to his reputation. If he loses Busan again, it will mean a complete failure of his plan to send troops to Goryeo, so now he wants to keep it at all costs. Busan City, this mercenary with only 2,000 people entered the Japanese country at this time. According to our understanding, Western countries used a lot of mercenaries in the process of colonization, which was more cost-effective than sacrificing their own soldiers.

Two thousand people? Ye Qingyun's expression relaxed, I might be worried about twenty thousand people, but two thousand people are really insignificant.

While Ye Qingyun and his group were talking, a tall red-haired Swede on the Busan city wall was using a telescope to observe the army outside the city.

After learning about the equipment of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom, he scolded: This is not a simple army.

Beside him was a blond-haired, slightly short Englishman with a short-barreled musket at his waist and a long sword hanging to his right.

After taking the tall man's binoculars, he observed it carefully and said, This time our purpose is not to help the Japanese country to defend the city, but to test the strength of the army of the Great Yu Kingdom. Now, in order to deal with the threat of this country, the whole of Europe is very nervous.

Those goddamn nobles should be nervous. Never before has a yellow-skinned country been so aggressive. Goryeo has now been captured by them. It is estimated that the Japanese country will be the next target for them to swallow, and then I am afraid it will be the European colonies. .
