Chapter 849: Suwon Bridge Incident

Suwon Bridge.
This is a stone bridge that stretches across the narrowest section of the Datong River. According to Korean historical records, the Suwon Bridge has a long history of 300 years, which is as long as the time when the country was founded.
And because of the barrier of this big river, there are only two ways to reach Suwon City from Haegu Castle, one is from the sea, and the other is Suwon Bridge.
It can be said that this is the only way to go north and south of Korea.
After receiving Xiao Ming's order to expel Japanese pirates, Ye Qingyun's first thought was to take down the stone bridge, otherwise the army would be blocked from going south.
"Commander, Shiqiao has been occupied by Japanese pirates, look."
Hu Ben Second Army Commander Qu Dong pointed in the direction of Suwon Bridge and said that many Japanese soldiers with flintlock guns were patrolling on the bridge.
Ye Qingyun picked up the telescope and observed it, then nodded slightly.
"Commander, the secret guard’s news is very clear. The firearms used by the Japanese nation are only equivalent to the smooth-bore flintlocks we used before, and they can’t compete with our conscripts. Moreover, the Japanese nation lacks cavalry. They are basically infantry. It's not as good. Under such a gap, you can attack boldly." Qu Dong analyzed.
"I think so too, just grab the bridge directly, there is no need to be polite with the Japanese pirates." Ye Qingyun agreed with Qu Dong very much.
This young general graduated from the Qingzhou Army Academy, and he performed well in the attack on Liaozhou, which he highly regarded.
Because he is ashamed of firearms and military tactical applications.
Qu Dong nodded when he heard the words. Now they are still eight miles away from the stone bridge, and they can arrive within half an hour of a normal march.
After getting Ye Qingyun's affirmation, he led a thousand pioneers to leave the team and speed up to the stone bridge.
When they were 500 meters away from the stone bridge, the Japanese pirates guarding Suwon Bridge recognized that this was the army of the Great Yu Kingdom. They shouted one after another. The Japanese pirates scattered on the Suwon Bridge quickly gathered and gathered at the other end of the bridge. Formed a horizontal formation, pointed their guns at the soldiers of the Great Yu State who came towards them, and at the same time, a cavalry galloped toward Suwon City.
Qu Dong and the soldiers stopped at the other end of the Suwon Bridge, keeping the distance between them and the Japanese pirates at 150 meters.
At this distance they can defeat the Japanese musketeers, but the Japanese muskets are not a threat to them.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
When the two sides were in a stalemate, a Japanese pirate walked to the middle of the bridge to question Qu Dong, looking domineering.
In the country of Japan, Yamada Nobunaga has been vilifying the image of the country of Da Yu, calling the people of the country of Da Yu a lowly race, and the people of Da Yu in Xuancheng are not worthy to live in the vast Central Plains, and even told his soldiers that the country should have been the country of Japan. of.
Because of this kind of propaganda, the Japanese people despised the people of Da Yu, and they became even more arrogant because of the one-sidedness of the Korean War.
Although they continue to encounter failures in Ryukyu and the sea, they attribute their failures to the individual rather than being left behind by the great Yu country as a whole.
"We are soldiers of the Dayu Kingdom. We came to look for our lost soldiers. You immediately clear the way. We are going to search for Suwon City." Qu Dong made up a reason casually.
"Are you crazy? How come there are missing soldiers of the Great Yu country here, get out of here, otherwise we will let you know how powerful firearms are."
The soldier of the Japanese country shouted that he had followed the pirates to rob the coast of the country of Da Yu, so he could speak some dialects of the country of Da Yu.
Qu Dong sneered: "Are your ears deaf? We won't go back if we can't find soldiers. Let your people bypass the road, otherwise I will think that you are declaring war on Great Yu country!"
The Japanese soldiers were taken aback. The big hat of Qu Dong made him feel a little at a loss for a moment. Before the barbarians were driven out of Kanto, they had a war plan against the ancient city of Hai.
But because the barbarians failed too quickly, they shelved this plan, and have been waiting for domestic orders while strengthening their occupation of Goryeo.
Now that the soldiers of Dayu Kingdom appeared here, he had an unpredictable hunch. After hesitating, he immediately ran to the other end of the bridge. Obviously, they would not give up the road.
"Fire!"
Qu Dong gave the order at this time, and a thousand soldiers lined up in a horizontal line began to shoot across the bridge.
"Bang bang bang..." Continuous gunshots sounded, white smoke and flames came out of the conquering guns, and the Japanese pirates on the opposite side suddenly fell into a row.
At this distance, the conqueror musket showed excellent range and accuracy, and almost a quarter of the bullets hit the opponent.
The Japanese pirate army across the river was stunned. They were waiting for the soldiers of the Great Yu country to come to them, and then they counterattacked according to the method of array warfare.
However, the soldiers of Dayu had obviously violated their accustomed way of war and launched an offensive outside the range of their muskets.
"Boom boom..."
Before the soldiers of the Japanese country could react, there was another volley on the other side of the bridge, followed by a third time.
The continuous firepower caused heavy losses to the Japanese soldiers arranged in a dense formation, and more than 500 soldiers fell over 200 in an instant.
"Rush over, rush over!"
The Japanese warriors who commanded the Musketeer found that something was wrong, and immediately screamed and rushed to a hand-to-hand fight, because they would not be able to kill the opponent if the entire army was destroyed.
It's just that he just yelled a word, and suddenly felt a heat in his chest. Looking down, he saw blood constantly pouring out.
Across the bridge, a sharpshooter smiled.
Since the Jinzhou City sharpshooters performed well, now each division is equipped with a certain number of sharpshooters to shoot and kill other important figures.
Qu Dong had been observing the battle. He found that the Japanese pirates had suffered heavy losses and had not retreated for a long time, and the remaining soldiers rushed towards them instead of killing them.
"This is the onboard charge of the Japanese pirates?" Qu Dong frowned.
In Haigucheng, they have come into contact with many Korean generals~EbookFREE.me~ They have always been afraid of fighting against Japanese pirates, because the Japanese pirates are not only powerful with firearms, but also will not surrender even when they are at a disadvantage. On the contrary, they will commit suicide. Rush to them.
Many times the immediate victory was defeated by the Japanese pirates, and because the Japanese pirates would call "onboard" when charging, the Koreans called it the onboard charge.
"Kill! Don't leave one!" Qu Dong coldly ordered.
In the fight with the barbarians, he came to a conclusion that the more barbarous the fighting method, the more barbarous they must counterattack, otherwise there is no way to make the other party succumb.
The barbarians are like this, and now it seems that the Japanese pirates are like this too.
Under the continuous gunfire, the soldiers of the Japanese country fell down one by one, and the other one continued to pounce on them. The distance of one hundred and fifty meters was quickly crossed.
At this time, the remaining ten or so soldiers drew out their samurai swords and slashed at the soldiers of Da Yu, but they underestimated the soldiers' melee ability.
The Da Yu soldiers in the front row picked up their bayonets and pierced the hearts of the Japanese soldiers with a sharp spike. A dozen Japanese soldiers fell one by one.
