Chapter 749 Chasing South and North
"Kill!"
More and more soldiers from the palace rushed out of the trenches. Read М
The Japanese soldiers and the powerful soldiers in the first row of trenches had already been blown to pieces by the howitzers.
During the charge, some of the royal soldiers threw grenades into them, causing a large number of casualties.
When they reacted, they were ready to stand up and shoot.
The first wave of royal soldiers had already jumped into the trenches, stabbing one by one.
The first row of trenches was occupied, and the Japanese soldiers in the second row of trenches reacted.
They hurriedly stood up and shot, but because of the heavy losses in the bombardment of the howitzers, they could no longer form a tight array.
The flintlock rifles were extremely accurate, and only a few of the royal soldiers fell down after a round of shooting.
After firing a shot, they immediately reloaded.
At this moment, the royal soldiers in the first row of trenches threw grenades over.
Many Japanese soldiers were killed.
The soldiers of the palace even passed through the straight road between the two rows of trenches and went to the second row of trenches, fighting hand-to-hand with them.
Although the Japanese soldiers fought back, they were no match for the royal army in terms of size, physical fitness and training.
They were just a little stronger than the powerful army.
In addition, they had never experienced a large-scale war, while the royal army had experienced hundreds of battles, and they were all veterans and elites, and more calm and composed.
Even if they were brave, it would be useless. Once they came into contact, they would continue to fall behind.
What's more, the royal army continued to throw grenades to clear the enemies in the trenches.
Row after row, the royal army's attack was very smooth.
An hour later, one-third of the East Earth Allied Forces' positions were dark green figures.
"Immediately send a team of soldiers to attack the stone bridge from the flank. Don't let them blow up the stone bridge." Zhao Xu said.
The soldiers of the East Earth Allied Forces in the trenches showed a trend of defeat.
Many Japanese soldiers had already fled to Rangcheng.
When these soldiers have almost escaped, they will definitely destroy the stone bridge and hinder his attack.
So he wants to send a team of soldiers to attack the stone bridge, using the range advantage of rifles to prevent them from blowing up the stone bridge.
Conventional responded with a yes and asked the flag bearer to issue an order.
A commando team of 2,000 people immediately went around the flank and attacked the stone bridge along the river bank.
Because the enemy soldiers in the trench position fell into chaos.
The commando team quickly approached the stone bridge.
At a distance of 100 meters from the stone bridge, they were blocked by Japanese soldiers.
Their actions seemed to have attracted the attention of the other side, and their intentions were also understood by the other side.
However, this 100 meters was enough. The river section in front of them was only 100 meters wide at its widest point, which was completely within their range.
Rangcheng.
Carter was packing things in his room.
When the first row of trenches was taken, he knew that the war was lost.
He put most of his troops into the trench position, but now it was easily broken through by the other side.
Once the trench position is lost, it is impossible to defend Rangcheng.
For him, the defense of Rangcheng is not as good as the trench.
After all, the range of the enemy's howitzer has exceeded the effective range of the smoothbore guns of the East Earth Alliance.
These field guns are just like the fate of the field guns in the trench, and can only be bombed.
Therefore, after an urgent discussion, they decided to withdraw from Rangcheng and head south before the trench position completely collapsed.
He came to Fangwai with his things.
Yamada Haruno was already waiting for him, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, "The results we have achieved in a month will be destroyed by King Yan in less than ten days."
"Failure is a common thing in war, General Yamada should not be sad, sometimes retracting your fist is to hit hard." Carter comforted a horse brought by a Japanese soldier.
Yamada Haruno nodded, and this battle slapped him hard.
In the past, he often laughed at the defeat of the Dasong clan.
Now he realized that he was just a pot calling the kettle black.
Neither the Japanese army nor the powerful tribe army was a match for the Yan Wang's army.
Perhaps, the Western army really needed to take action to eliminate the Yan Wang.
Of course, there was another way, that is, the Westerners would not be stingy with their technology.
Pass them all to Japan, so that they could catch up with the level of Yan Wang's firearms.
After all, in his opinion, if Yan Wang had them, the Westerners must have them.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
Carter and Yamada Haruno were relieved.
They had ordered the soldiers to blow up the stone bridge.
Now they could leave here without a hurry.
However, he was not happy for long, and a Japanese soldier came hurriedly, looking panicked, "General, our gunpowder barrels were shot and exploded. The soldiers in the trenches saw that we were going to blow up the stone bridge, and they abandoned the trenches and fled to Rangcheng."
"What!" Carter and Yamada Haruno were both shocked.
"A bunch of trash!" Yamada Haruno gritted his teeth.
Then, he said to Carter: "It's too late, go south quickly."
After that, he, Carter and Xie An rode towards the south gate.
Some soldiers of the East Land Alliance followed them and filed out.
Outside Xiangcheng.
The attack of the royal army became more and more fierce.
The soldiers kept crossing the trenches and attacking in the direction of the stone bridge.
"Bang bang bang..."
Facing the fleeing soldiers of the East Land Alliance, the royal soldiers kept shooting.
The East Earth Allied Forces in the chaos could not organize an effective resistance at all.
They just squeezed onto the stone bridge and fled southward desperately.
Under the shooting of the royal family soldiers, a large number of powerful soldiers saw that there was no escape, and they knelt down and raised their hands.
The Japanese soldiers were unwilling to be captured and continued to flee.
More soldiers were constantly pushed off the stone bridge and washed away by the water.
After another hour of fierce fighting, the royal family soldiers cleared the remaining soldiers on the trench position and crossed the stone bridge to Rangcheng.
At this moment, the East Earth Allied Forces soldiers in the city basically fled.
The royal family soldiers easily controlled the entire Rangcheng.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei came to the gate of Rangcheng.
Behind them were the Goryeo generals and ministers who were crying, including the Goryeo King and Yin Boming.
After entering Rangcheng, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei: "Send 60,000 soldiers lightly and continue the pursuit. We must kill them and drive them directly into the sea."
The battle of Rangcheng must be enough to scare the Eastland coalition.
The rest of the war is just chasing south and north and cleaning up the remaining battlefield.
If they are not stupid, they should get out of his sphere of influence.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei looked at the Goryeo royal city with excitement.
Although the war has not yet ended, taking the royal city, as the King of Yan said, basically laid the foundation for the direction of the war.
From now on, Goryeo will bow down to Daesong.
