Iron Dynasty

Commander, the barbarian general who led the ten thousand team this time is called Kuha.

Report to the Governor, now the barbarian 10,000-strong team is less than 100 miles away from Yunzhou.

Reporting to the governor, the barbarian cavalry slaughtered and looted along the way, and the victims of Jizhou suffered heavy casualties.

...

In the Yunzhou camp, the hussars who went out to investigate kept returning to report the news they got.

Crack! After a lot of news came, Lu Fei slammed the table and said angrily: Captain, the barbarians are fighting back with fire. They are going to use the same method as we did on the grasslands to harass the fief.

Niu Ben's expression was solemn, he finally understood why a 10,000-strong team broke away from the main force of the barbarian cavalry and came towards Yunzhou.

Kuha, this name is somewhat familiar? Luo Xin suddenly frowned, The last will remember Wang Xuan once mentioned it.

When Niu Ben heard the words, he suddenly remembered, and he said, This Kuhan is a warrior under Chagatai, but the last time I led my cavalry into the grasslands, I attacked his tribe and took the hordes of his tribe. Men and women, young and old, were slaughtered.

Wang Xuan has been in charge of collecting information on the grassland tribes, and the information on the generals on the grassland has now been provided to the Qingzhou Army.

If this is the case, it will be even more dangerous, and Kuha will definitely take revenge on our people. Lu Fei was worried.

The other generals looked worried at the same time.

Niu Ben pondered for a while, and he said: The barbarians have been collecting intelligence in Qingzhou, and I must have known that I led the troops to destroy his tribe. Kuha came here with hatred. If you knew that I led 10,000 infantry to help Jizhou, you said that he would Won't you take revenge?

Kuha's character is violent, not necessarily, but it's too dangerous for the governor to do so. Lu Fei said.

It's not necessarily dangerous. Korha didn't know that the Qingzhou Army had installed a flintlock gun. His Highness said that he would make a surprise attack while the barbarians were unfamiliar with the flintlock gun. Therefore, we may not lose.

Luo Xin nodded, We found that Coha's 10,000-strong team has lost the opportunity. Maybe we can set up a hollow phalanx on the only road that Cooha must pass, and set up a cover for Cooha.

Niu Ben nodded, he looked at the map, pointed to a place thirty kilometers outside Yunzhou City, and said, The hussars have already surveyed this place. The road is very wide, with grass on both sides of the road, and woods outside the grass. Cooha has to take this road if he wants to enter the hinterland.

The country of Dayu is different from the grassland.

However, in the country of Dayu, the custom of farming civilization is to set up the city in the traffic fortress, and the barbarian cavalry can pass around the city without attacking the city, but they must take a spacious official road.

Of course, the barbarian cavalry can also choose to take the trail to avoid the official road and go straight to the rear city.

But in the case of unfamiliar life, few generals will choose this kind of risky behavior. After all, an army who does not pay attention will face the danger of getting lost.

Based on this, Niu Bencai decided to place the army on the broad official road.

After demarcating the battle site, Niu Ben immediately ordered the musket team, charioteer, and artillery to go to the designated place to prepare for the battle.

After receiving the order, Lu Fei and Luo Xin immediately dispatched troops.

Now, Kuha is only a hundred miles away from Yunzhou City. According to the barbarians' marching speed, they can reach outside Yunzhou City tomorrow, and this is still based on the barbarians marching at full speed.

In fact, a horse is an animal with poor endurance. It can sprint, but a long-distance horse must run for a while and then stop and rest, otherwise it will only ruin the horse's running.

It's just that the barbarians often have one person and four horses, so this time Niuben assumed the fastest marching speed of the barbarians.

That night, Qingzhou City went out of the city overnight and set up a battle on the official road outside Yunzhou City, just waiting for Kuha to come.

At the same time, taking advantage of the reconnaissance, Niu Ben constantly sent hussars to inquire, and hung his flag high to deliberately lure Kuha to come.

At this time, fifty kilometers away from Yunzhou City, Kuha was leading a cavalry brigade to approach Yunzhou City along the official road.

The scouts kept bringing the collected news.

This time, the plan to bypass Yunzhou and directly take Qingzhou City was formulated by Chagatai, and he was the first to undertake this attack plan.

After losing all his clansmen, hatred spreads in his heart day by day.

As long as he can get revenge, he Kuha is willing to lose his life.

Captain Wan, we found the Qingzhou Army twenty miles away, and they seem to have set up a battle and are waiting for us, the scout said.

Kuha frowned, Why does the Qingzhou Army find us in advance every time.

The scouts were silent, and he didn't know either. Now, none of the Qingzhou Army scouts found him, but the Qingzhou Army seemed to know their whereabouts very well, and he also didn't understand.

After hesitating for a while, he said: Ignore them, this time we will bypass Yunzhou City and take Qingzhou directly, and loot the grain and grass near Qingzhou City.

The turmoil in Jizhou gave them an opportunity. Last year, the severe cold on the grasslands froze to death a lot of livestock, and it was the first time that the Golden Horde had food problems.

For this reason, various tribes sold many slaves to save food, and more slaves were killed to save food.

The most important task for them going south this time was looting.

Only when they passed through Jizhou, they saw only barren land, hungry and mad victims, and they couldn't find food at all in Jizhou.

After deliberation, Chagatai asked him to go to Qingzhou to retaliate.

It's just that we have no other way to go except the official road, the scout said.

Idiot, can't you grab a local person to ask for directions? Why don't you go quickly. Kuha said angrily.

The scouts left in response, when another scout arrived and said, Captain Wan, the Qingzhou army in front are all infantry and chariots, with only a few cavalry, and the word Niu Ben is written on the flag in the middle.

Bull Run! The name instantly made Kuha's eyes red.

Now they have understood who was looting on the grasslands, one was Lu Fei, the other was Niu Ben, and Niu Ben was his enemy.

I'm going to kill him... Kuha's chest heaved violently, and he was about to rush out after pulling the reins.

At this time, a commander said: Kuha, this is probably a trap. We can't fall for the tricks of the people of Da Yu.

Kuha gasped violently, and after a long time he calmed down the anger in his heart, calmed down and continued to wait for the scout's news.

An hour later, the scouts came to the news that there was no one in the village outside the city of Yunzhou, and all the people fled.

When Kuha heard the words, his heart burst into arrogance, and at this time another scout came to report that there were only more than 10,000 Qingzhou troops blocking the road ahead.

The consumption of food and fodder for the march was huge, and if the time was delayed here, the soldiers and horses would starve.

Knowing that the Qingzhou Army had only more than 10,000 people and was far away from the city in the wild, Kuha finally made up his mind, Send scouts to find out if there are ambush in the woods on both sides, and the rest will follow me.
