The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 566

Three days later, Chen Yeqing led two regiments to Busan Port in southern Koryo.

This is the largest port in the south of Koryo. It can go directly to the ports in Fusang and Daedeok, and continue northward to the North Sea and Ross.

The reason why they chose to land here is because the terrain here is relatively open. After landing, it will be a coastal plain, which is convenient for deploying troops and firepower.Secondly, because their ships are relatively large, it is difficult to dock in small ports.

There are some relatively simple coastal fortifications in Busan Port, and there are three old-fashioned red cannons.

Because it is a direct fire gun, the range is relatively short.Chen Yetong put the wild cannons on the deck, and only fired three cannons, one at a time, and knocked out the three red cannons.

As soon as the cannon was knocked out, the other party saw that there were many boats coming, and the rest ran away.

After Chen Yeqing successfully landed, it took only one hour to wipe out the [-] defenders of Busan Province and establish a foothold in southern Koryo.

After the capture of Busan, the troops were divided into two groups.Chen Yetong went north to capture Pohang, and Huangtian Yunxi attacked and occupied Gwangju.

Chen Yetong then went west, Huang Tianyun went north, and the two sides joined forces in Datian.The goal is directed at Seoul, the capital of Korea.

However, they were not in a hurry to attack, but stayed temporarily again, ignoring it.

Huang Tianyun turned his head quietly on a snowy night, ambushed Li Chengxi's [-] brown-clothed troops who came from the southwest, and wiped him out in one fell swoop.

Li Chengxi's brown-clothed army is known as the most heroic army in Goryeo.

Although they fought bravely, they were only movable targets in front of Huang Tianyun's field cannons, flamethrowers and machine guns.

In this battle, Huang Tianyun won a major victory with only a small cost of injuring 32 people and killing eight people.

After the brown-clothed army was wiped out, the southern part of Koryo, all the way to the coastal areas in the east, south, and west directions, was completely pacified.

Huang Tianyun turned back and headed north, and met Chen Yetong secretly in Datian.

At this time, the Koryo Huben Army and Yulin Army from Seoul, a total of 1 people, were confronting Chen Yetong.

At [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, the Huben army launched the first round of attack.

The battlefield unfolded in an open rice field.

The first round of the Huben Army's attack was tentative.After being bombarded by Chen Yetong's field artillery for more than a dozen artillery pieces, more than 100 people broke through the interception of the field artillery fire, and were finally shot by a volley of guns, annihilating the front.

Immediately afterwards, the Huben Army launched its first official attack.

Cavalry in front and infantry behind.After a burst of shelling from the field artillery, the horse-mounted fast Frang machine guns began to shell the infantry behind.

At this time, the Koryo Imperial Army detoured from the left, trying to encircle Chen Yetong's troops.Huang Tianyun appeared suddenly, and after disrupting the cavalry formation of the Royal Forest Army with field artillery, the machine gun opened fire.

It was also the first time that the Imperial Forest Army saw a machine gun, and immediately turned around and fled.Huang Tianyun took advantage of the victory to pursue, but was still a step behind.The Royal Forest Army dropped about a thousand corpses, and the remaining 3000 people completely left the battlefield and fled in embarrassment towards Seoul.

Huang Tianyun couldn't catch up with the Yulin army, so he turned around and surrounded the Huben army, cutting off their retreat.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Huben army was flanked by Huang Tianyun and Chen Yetong, and they were compressed into a small space less than two miles away.

At this time, less than half of the more than 8000 people in the Huben Army were left.In the next more than an hour, six consecutive charges were launched in an attempt to break through the encirclement, but all failed.

At four o'clock in the evening, Chen Yeqing ordered Huang Tianyun to deliberately leave a gap for the Huben army to break through.

After the Huben Army suffered a large number of casualties, nearly 2000 people remained out of the encirclement and lost to Seoul.

In this battle, more than [-] people from the Huben Army and the Yulin Army were wiped out.After the battle, the Beihai Volunteers did not pursue immediately, but rested on the spot.Putting on the posture of attacking Seoul, but not sending it out.

What Chen Yeqing is implementing now is the strategy formulated by Jia Min in advance.After controlling the southern part of Koryo, he threatened Seoul and forced the soldiers and horses in the northern part of Koryo to return to the capital.

The purpose is to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, to mobilize the northern army, to create opportunities for Simeri and their cavalry to annihilate the enemy in motion.

After Chang'an led the fleet to set off, they kept heading north.

When I left Tianjin Wei, it was already late autumn.When he was in Tianjin Wei, although he captured the grain and grass depot, he replenished the grain and grass.However, no winter clothes were found.

At that time, in order to get away from the pursuers as soon as possible, they had to set off in a hurry.

Sailing at sea is inherently cold, and the further north you go, the colder the weather will be.

With more than 1 soldiers and their families and dozens of large ships, the problem of keeping out the cold has become an imminent challenge.

In desperation, Wei Ruoshui proposed to attack Jeju Island in Korea along the way.Restock your winter coats there.

The battle to capture Jeju Island went very smoothly, and there were only more than 300 defenders on the island.In front of more than 7000 people, it is naturally vulnerable.

So Chang'an successfully occupied Jeju Island.

However, Jeju Island is sparsely populated, there is not much population, and materials are relatively scarce.

All the quilts of the residents on the island were requisitioned, and the problem of winter clothes for less than 1000 people was only solved.

Still in desperation, Chang'an, Luo Xingshan and others researched and decided to attack Korea, and after solving the problem of winter clothing, they went north to Beihai.

If the problem of winter clothing is not solved, even if no one pursues them, they will freeze to death on the way north.

Busan is a relatively affluent place in the south of Koryo, and it is also a commercial center.

In the past, when Wei Ruoshui returned to Beihai from France, he stopped at Busan for supplies, so it was decided that Wei Ruoshui would take a few people and pretend to be a caravan to go to Busan for reconnaissance.

The fleet broke down in the open sea, and Wei Ruoshui entered Busan Port in a small boat.

After entering the port, Wei Ruoshui discovered the problem.

"Li Gui, the situation here is not right. Look, those forts have been blown up."

"The fort was blown up, what's so strange? It's a war."

"The defenders here are gone. When I came back here last time, there were still defenders? Who attacked here? There is something wrong with those forts. Let's go and have a look."

The two climbed onto the running platform, and saw that the running platform had been bombed with earth and rocks flying everywhere.

Wei Ruoshui couldn't help but burst into ecstasy.

"Li Gui, look at these earth and rocks, what's unusual?"

"It doesn't look like it was blown up by a Franc machine gun."

"Yes, it was indeed not bombed by the Frang machine. The Flang machine fired solid projectiles, and it couldn't be blown up like this. Maybe our Beihai Autonomous Army did it."

"Beihai Autonomous Army?"

"Only the field artillery of our Beihai Autonomous Army can blow up earth and rocks like this. It is similar to our previous flower bombs, but it is more powerful than flower bombs."

"You mean, Chief Min and the others are here?"

"I don't know yet, go, let's go in and have a look."

I got off the fort by another road, walked twenty feet away, and came to a courtyard, which was the original barracks for the officers and soldiers of the fort.

There was no one in the yard, but a notice pasted on the door caught Wei Ruoshui's attention.

This is exactly a notice from the Beihai Volunteer Army, which means to come here to destroy the Tianshun army stationed in Koryo.

The signature below is Chen Yeqing, commander of the [-]rd Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army.

"Li Gui, brigade commander Chen Yeqing is here, we are saved. Let's go inside and have a look."

Not far into the dock area, I saw a group of about ten soldiers walking towards the dock. Looking at the military uniform and the rifles on their bodies, I knew it was the Beihai Autonomous Army.

A little closer, Wei Ruoshui could see clearly that Huang Tianfeng, Huang Tianyun's younger brother, was leading the team.

At this time, Huang Tianfeng also recognized Wei Ruolan, the two of them were naturally very excited when they met each other, so they went to sit in the room.

It turned out that Huang Tianfeng was leading a platoon to guard Busan Port here.After the two sides exchanged the situation, Wei Ruoshui immediately sent Li Gui back to the fleet by boat and asked Princess Chang'an to land in Busan.It is not only to replenish winter clothes here, but also to meet with Chen Yeqing and Chief Min.

"Platoon Leader Huang, you immediately divide the people into two teams. One team will prepare a camp for His Highness Chang'an and the others to welcome them to land. The other team will raise winter clothes and quilts in Busan. I guess there will not be enough here. So, I Rush to Daejeon, meet Brigadier Chen, and ask him to help raise money. We will return in a few days.”

"Understood, captain of the guard, I will arrange it properly."

Wei Ruoshui didn't stop, and hurried northward to Datian.

At around five o'clock in the evening, when the sun was setting, Chang'an led the fleet to Busan Port.

Huang Tianfeng was already on the pier to greet him.Chang'an was the first to land.

Behind him are Luo Xingshan, Lichun, Zuo Linliang, General Xu, General Qu, Qiu Liang, Li Gui, Liu Huaide and others.

"Huang Tianfeng, platoon leader of the Beihai Autonomous Army, pays his respects to His Highness Chang'an."

With that said, Huang Tianfeng gave Chang'an a military salute.

"Okay, Platoon Leader Huang, thank you for your hard work."

"The residence has been arranged for His Highness, please come with me, Your Highness."

Chang An didn't leave immediately, but looked back at the sea, and then turned around again.look towards land.

Secretly stepped on the ground hard, feeling solid.Looking up to the north, a strange feeling rose in my heart.

I'm coming, see you soon.I didn't expect to meet here, it seems that it is God's will.

Four days after setting off from Phoenix City, Jia Min and his party arrived at Fengjing.Going ashore from Fengjing, he changed to land and arrived in Fenglong County three days later.This is where Middle Earth borders Goryeo.

On the eighth day, we waded across the Tumen River and entered Mushan in Koryo.

Musan is rich in iron ore and has many iron-making workshops.Because the Tumen River can lead to the sea, and there is a Qingjin Port directly adjacent to the sea a hundred miles to the north, so this place has become an important business center.

Not far from Musan is Huining County.The business center is in Huining.

Not long ago, the three major tribal cavalry in North Wendura entered Korea from here.

I found a few businessmen in the local area and asked about it. After spending two taels of silver, I brought Jia Min and his party to Xi Mairui's residence.

So far, Jia Min has successfully reconciled with the three tribes of North Wendura.

When Xi Mailui saw Jia Min, he was naturally surprised, and then he was ecstatic.

"Officer Min, you are finally here. These Korean people are really deceiving people."

As he said that, he came up to hug Jia Min, not even letting Tamara go.He also wanted to hug Miaoyu, but Miaoyu avoided it in time.

"Where are Shaq and Vadagas?"

"Oh, forget it."

"What's the matter? You won't die, right?"

"Although I didn't die, it was more uncomfortable than death."
