Iron Dynasty

artillery!

Luo Hong's heart jumped.

Zhan Xingchang nodded, According to the information we got, this time the barbarians brought at least 200 artillery pieces. At this time, the artillery that was used to destroy the barbarians should be used. According to His Highness, the artillery sold to Chang'an has the highest range. Far away, it may be able to suppress the barbarian artillery, I don't know how many guns the general brought.

Not at all. Luo Hong said almost biting, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Why is this? His Highness has sent three hundred artillery pieces to Chang'an one after another... Zhan Xingchang glanced, and sure enough, there was no trace of the artillery pieces in the camp.

Luo Hong spat, It's not the timid dog officials sent by the Lord He, they said that the artillery should be used to protect the capital, Jizhou, the Qingzhou Army's artillery is enough, hum, in fact, they just want to It's best to see us die in Jizhou.

When Zhan Xingchang heard the words, he sighed slightly in his heart, and was even more fortunate that he had made up his mind to come to Qingzhou. He said, That's it, I have wronged the two generals this time.

We also recognize the grievances, but our Luo family has been loyal to the country for generations, but now in the court, we are suspected by the ministers... Hey, let's not talk about it. Luo Hong seemed to have some scruples and stopped talking.

Zhan Xingchang is proficient in tactics, and instantly understood what Luo Hong meant. I am afraid it is not just the suspicion of the ministers, but Xiao Wenxuan may also be suspicious of Luo Quan.

In this expedition to Jizhou, the 500,000-strong forbidden army only Jinwuwei came alone. On the face of it, Jinwuwei was extremely powerful. It would be better to say that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, including Xiao Wenxuan, wanted to weaken Jinwuwei.

It is because of seeing through this point that Luo Hong may have this emotion.

He persuaded him: The minister is strong and suspicious. This is an unchangeable thing in the past dynasties. If your majesty does not send Jin Wuwei to the two generals in Jizhou, it is really dangerous. It seems that your majesty at least remembers the benefits of generals.

Luo Hong is a soldier who has always been going straight. At this time, he suddenly realized that he was on-demand by Zhan Xingchang.

But his heart still couldn't accept it, he said, It's just a pity for our soldiers.

Since it is to protect the family and defend the country, the soldiers of His Royal Highness King Qi can sacrifice, why can't the soldiers of the general sacrifice.

Zhan Xingchang was displeased, Jizhou was in danger, and only the imperial court and the King of Qi were devoted to resolving this crisis.

Nowadays, many vassal kings are probably sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the royal family and the barbarians to fight and lose both, so they are waiting for the fisherman to gain.

What's more, the royal family is also not united. Needless to say, King Wei is playing with his heart, and King Yong is even more afraid to fight in Jizhou City.

Now Luo Hong's words made him even more annoyed.

Who doesn't feel sorry for their soldiers, who is willing to go on an expedition.

When Luo Hong heard that he was hit hard, he looked ashamed and said, The lesson of the Inspector's History is how to hide your selfishness even if you are loyal to the country.

After a pause, he said, I don't know what plan is the exhibition governor?

Zhan Xingchang calmed down for a moment. The corruption of the Great Yu Kingdom made him heartbroken. He secretly hated it, thinking that one day he would smash the heads of the southern vassal kings, so that they would understand the word loyalty and righteousness.

He was about to say, when suddenly the voice of woo woo... came.

Hearing this voice, Luo Hong was overjoyed, and he said, At this time, the horn of the barbarian retreat, it seems that the barbarian cavalry is about to withdraw.

We got the news that this time it was only Bei Shan who led the blood wolf tribe to rush forward. The barbarians did not come with soldiers from all over the country, so Bei Shan's soldiers and horses were somewhat insufficient. Your formation, heavy cavalry, will annihilate you in one fell swoop.

If other generals naturally cannot understand the threat of artillery to the infantry battle formation.

But their Qingzhou generals knew this very well. With artillery and barbarian heavy cavalry, Luo Hong might not be able to sustain a round of attack.

Then he asked, How many soldiers do you have to mobilize now?

We also suffered heavy losses in order to compete for food. Now I have only a few hundred cavalry and only 70,000 infantry left. Many soldiers were injured under the harassment of cavalry.

Zhan Xingchang calculated that this time Luo Hong and Luo Quan each sent 10,000 cavalry to come to the rescue, and there were not many 20,000 people left.

And now the one led by Luo Hong has also suffered losses under the harassment of barbarians.

That is to say, they basically only have infantry left now, and using infantry to deal with cavalry in a flat open field is inherently disadvantageous.

Infantry can only reduce losses by forming a tight battle formation, and even so, they can only passively defend and cannot attack. After all, two legs can't run on four legs.

So he said: Now is the time for the barbarians to retreat and move closer to the general. Don't move to Jizhou City alone, or I'm afraid that few of the 70,000 soldiers will be able to return alive.

Luo Hong nodded, Zhan Xingchang's eyes were very poisonous, and without the protection of cavalry, it would be very dangerous for them to go deep alone.

He said, Since that's the case, I'll gather the soldiers to join my father in Fencheng now.

Well, it's not too late, the army gathers, echoes inside and outside, and the battle will be decided in one battle! We must not let Bei Shan's artillery take advantage of it. At this time, only the artillery of the Qingzhou Army can suppress the barbarian artillery fire.

These words made Luo Hong more and more determined to move to Fencheng.

He immediately ordered the entire army to gather and march towards Fencheng, and at the same time he assembled the remaining cavalry and the Qingzhou cuirassiers to guard the flanks.

Although it was divided into two places, it was only 20 miles away from Fencheng. Luo Hong and Zhan Xingchang ordered the soldiers to march quickly, and they arrived outside Fencheng in the evening.

Father!

Seeing Luo Quan, Luo Hong felt at ease. It seemed that only Luo Quan would not collapse on this day.

Luo Quan was also overjoyed at the round of the two armies, he patted Luo Hong on the shoulder, and then looked at Zhan Xingchang.

Luo Hong took the initiative to introduce Luo Quan at this time.

When he learned that Zhan Xingchang came with the Qingzhou Army, he immediately laughed and said, Thank you, Zhan Shishi, otherwise the army led by my father and son will be divided into two places.

It's just a little effort. The general came to rescue the Qingzhou Army and came to admire him. Zhan Xingchang said as he observed the barbarian camp with his binoculars.

Luo Hong was a little envious. Along the way, almost all the generals of the Qingzhou Army had a telescope, and the real Jinwuwei only had Luo Quan alone.

After the observation, Zhan Xingchang said to Luo Quan: General, it's getting late, so it's not suitable to attack now, otherwise I'm afraid that when the internal and external attacks come together, the night will not be able to see clearly and hurt my own people, and the hot air balloon has not returned, wait for them. Come back, we're not too late to attack.

Hot air balloon? Luo Quan was confused.

Luo Hong realized it, and he said to Luo Quan, Father, Your Highness is really amazing. He actually built something that can fly.
