Iron Dynasty

PS: One more chapter to come later.

In Yunzhou City, Xiao Ming looked at He Kui who was kneeling in front of him.

At noon today, He Kui tried to force his way into the city and was caught by the guards of Yunzhou City.

After the collapse of the Shanzi Battalion, some deserters from the Shanzi Battalion came to Yunzhou City one after another, but not many soldiers returned. Compared with the 30,000-strong Shanzi Battalion, only 3,000 soldiers returned.

Most of the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion lost their way after the collapse, and no one knew where they went.

King Qi, what do you want to do, I'm from King Wei, how dare you do anything to me!

At this time, He Kui was being held by two soldiers, and he kept twisting his body trying to break free.

Xiao Ming looked at He Kui.

Bai Bai is fat, with thin skin and tender meat. Obviously, he is not a person who has suffered from hardships. It seems that the flower world in the south does support people.

Let go of me, you are not afraid of King Wei...

A silver light flashed, and He Kui's words came to an abrupt end.

The sharp accessories were unsheathed, and there was a hint of red on the blade. He Kui clutched his neck and looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief.

In the end, he couldn't believe that Xiao Ming dared to kill him.

Throw it into the wilderness to feed the dogs! came Xiao Ming's icy voice.

Not to mention the small mountain-shaped battalion generals now, even if the King of Wei is in front of him, he dares to draw his sword.

This time the grain was hijacked, he was angry and at the same time remorseful in his heart, regretting whether he should let Shanzi Operation deliver the grain, but at that time, the war was urgent, and he had no choice.

Now he naturally hates Shanziying very much. At this time, this He Kui dares to come back. Does it really mean that the sword in his hand is not sharp enough?

The two soldiers dragged He Kui's body out.

At this time, a scout suddenly reined in his horse in front of him, got off his horse and knelt down and said, Your Highness, the barbarians have retreated, and we have lifted the siege of Jizhou?

The barbarians have retreated! Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he continued to ask, Speak more carefully.

The scout was obviously excited too, so he told Xiao Ming about the situation in detail.

Knowing the cause and effect, Xiao Ming's mouth could hardly close, It turned out to be hit by a cannonball, God bless me Da Yu, God bless me Da Yu, hahaha...

After all, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Then he said to Zhao Long and Zhao Hu: Clean up, we will go to Jizhou City immediately. This time Beishan is dead and alive, the blood wolf tribe will definitely be in chaos, and we should take the opportunity to seize Shanhaiguan.

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu nodded and immediately went to pack up.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming went to Jizhou under the escort of the Yunzhou army.

On the way, he finally saw the terrible drought in Jizhou. The land was dry and the cracks were open, and everything that could be eaten was eaten. The lost victims could be seen everywhere on the road.

The corpses of some of the victims were decomposing, the stench filled the sky, and crows were hovering in the sky, a vision of doomsday.

Looking at these victims, Xiao Ming thought of the Qinglong King.

Now that the barbarians are defeated, the next step is to clean up the Qinglong King. He wants to make this account clear with the Qinglong King.

At noon the next day, the group rushed to Jizhou.

When passing through Fencheng, Xiao Ming saw that the soldiers were burying the corpses. His scalp was numb from the dense corpses.

This is the cruel war of ancient times.

Your Highness.

In the camp where the Qingzhou Army was stationed, Xiao Ming saw Niu Ben, Zhan Xingchang and Lu Fei and other generals.

Because the scouts had already informed him of his arrival in advance, they received them outside before Xiao Ming arrived.

Everyone, this war, you have worked hard. Xiao Ming smiled.

This time, he is firmly in the rear, relying entirely on his generals to kill the enemy here, so he is very pleased with these generals.

Niu Ben said: His Royal Highness, this is my duty, Your Highness does not need to be polite.

While talking, the group entered the tent.

At this time, Niu Ben told Xiao Ming about the battle in detail, and finally said: Your Highness, this time Bei Shan is not sure if he is alive or dead. It's time for a group of dragons without a leader to pursue the victory.

This king is also thinking about this along the way. I have sent someone to inform the soldiers in Cangzhou to go to Shanhaiguan. It is not too late. You can start tomorrow, and you can join forces to attack Shanhaiguan.

After a pause, Xiao Ming said, The Cangzhou Army has brought a hundred artillery pieces this time. You have fifty pieces of artillery pieces, and one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery pieces are enough for us to take down Shanhaiguan. If this battle is over, the barbarians will We are imprisoned in the bitter cold of the north.

Niu Ben and the others looked excited when they heard the words.

Outside the city of Cangzhou are the barbarians, which makes them worry all the time, always worried that the barbarians will come over, if the barbarians are locked out of Shanhaiguan, it will be different.

Not to mention that Shanhaiguan is more majestic than Cangzhou City, this is also far away, giving them enough time to prepare.

Yes, Your Highness, the last general will rectify the army now and prepare to set off tomorrow. Niu Ben said, By the way, Your Highness, this time we have also captured 250 barbarian artillery pieces. Do you want to take a look at it?

Really? This king wants to see how the barbarian's artillery is?

At this time, Niu Ben took Xiao Ming out of the camp to an open space, where two hundred and fifty artillery pieces were neatly placed in the open space.

These artillery pieces are all cast in bronze, and the artillery pieces are not as light as the Qingzhou Army’s artillery pieces in both caliber and length.

Your Highness, this is the gunpowder used by the barbarians. Luo Xin came over with a pinch of gunpowder.

This is the most primitive black powder. Seeing this, Xiao Ming nodded. It seems that the artillery level of the Ottoman Empire is just average, and the artillery has no sights and sights. The artillery is at the level of the mid-17th century at most. .

His Royal Highness, we have tested it, and the barbarian artillery is similar to our export-type artillery, and it is too far from us to shoot them. Luo Xin was in high spirits, this time their artillery battalion can be said to have made a great contribution.

Xiao Ming laughed, and he felt at ease.

Then he said to Luo Xin: You artillerymen have done a good job this time, and you have done a great job. It seems that this king will commend you well after you go back.

Hearing this, Luo Xin immediately smiled happily, but he turned his mouth and said: By the way, Your Highness, King Yong came to the barracks several times to ask us for artillery, saying that this is a trophy, and he should have a share, what should I do?

During the battle of Jizhou, Xiao Ming was a little annoyed by King Wei and King Yong, he said: This matter is his own, the king told him, this time, the labor and the cost are huge, it's all because of him, and he won't take off a layer of his skin. , this king will not leave Jizhou so easily.

As soon as his voice fell, all the generals showed a smile, this is indeed the true character of King Qi.

As the group was talking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

A rough voice came, Isn't that kid from King Qi here? Let him come out to see me.
