Iron Dynasty

PS: The fourth shift will be delivered, and I recommend a copy of The Strongest Instructor of the Great Song Dynasty: Transcend into Lin Chong, save his wife, fight against Gao Qiu, collect heroes, and be happy in the world.

Shanhaiguan.

When Xiao Ming arranged the privateer plan, his order to attack the barbarians had already arrived here.

When Lei Ming saw the military order from Qingzhou, he suddenly burst into laughter.

A group of generals of Guan Ning's iron cavalry surrounded him with puzzled expressions, and a captain asked, What is it that makes Governor Ru so happy?

Lei Ming carefully put away the military order bearing the seal of King Qi, and said, The Governor said, His Highness let us go out and kill the spirit of the barbarians.

It's finally going to be a war, hehe, our hands are itching.

That's right, now the barbarians are dishonest again, it's time to give them some color.

Treat them hard and let them understand how powerful our Guan Ning iron cavalry is. The voices of the generals were louder than each other.

Lei Ming stretched out his hand to signal the generals to calm down. He said, It has been five days since this order was issued, but according to what the governor said, this time we only need to stop in moderation, and we can't fight the barbarians to the death. You can retreat if you take advantage.

The excited generals just now slumped, and one general said, It turns out that we didn't continue to fight north.

You think too much. If you continue to fight north, the Qingzhou Army will not be stationed in Shanhaiguan long ago.

Who said that only the Qingzhou army can fight with us, is our Youzhou army trained in vain?

Training is training, but our Youzhou Army has only 3,000 muskets in total, which is not enough.

The generals talked again, and finally everyone looked at Lei Ming, Captain, the equipment of our Youzhou army is really bad, can we ask the chief to tell us, otherwise how can we fight the barbarians?

Lei Ming was a little embarrassed. He has asked Qingzhou this question more than once, but they have only received 3,000 muskets during this time, but now the Youzhou Army has only trained 20,000 muskets after careful selection. People, this does not include Guan Ning's iron cavalry that has been expanded to two people.

I can't say the same. Didn't Qingzhou just send us 10,000 war horses a few days ago? These war horses are all from the fiefs of King Zhao. It can be seen that His Highness still treats our Youzhou army preferentially. Lei Ming explained that he was most afraid The main thing is that the generals have to equip him with it.

Hearing the words, the general immediately felt that it made sense. The 20,000 horses were only given half to the Youzhou army. Because of this, Guan Ning's iron cavalry was expanded to 20,000 people.

After clearing his throat, Lei Ming's expression became serious, and he said: Now we have to immediately carry out the order from Qingzhou. Now you immediately gather troops to set up an ambush outside the city. Once the barbarian scouts come to investigate, they will kill them immediately.

Yes. The generals responded in unison.

After the order was issued, all the generals left one after another. After a while, a rumbling bell suddenly sounded in Shanhaiguan, and the cavalry in the barracks quickly assembled.

Then they set off outside the customs to carry out a plan of attack on the barbarian scouts.

This time, Lei Ming did not lead the troops. At this time, he stood on the city wall of Shanhaiguan and watched the five thousand cavalry disappear into the vast grassland.

Behind him, the city wall that was once destroyed in the war has been repaired, and it is larger and thicker than before.

Now Shanhaiguan is not only difficult to break through on the side facing the north, but also the weak south.

In the granary of Shanhaiguan, three years of food have been stored in the granary, which makes the soldiers in Shanhaiguan no longer have to worry about starvation.

At the same time, the soldiers can also receive salary every month, which makes the soldiers in the army even more enthusiastic, but this is only one of the reasons. The deeper reason is that Xiao Ming promised them that they would take an inch of land just like Youzhou. , this future land will be distributed to the soldiers.

And just as Xiao Ming promised, after recovering Youzhou, they distributed land to Youzhou soldiers, all of which were fertile fields near Youzhou.

This alone makes the soldiers very grateful to King Qi, and because of this, the soldiers and generals are looking forward to fighting, because it is said that there is a very vast land outside Shanhaiguan.

Even if you don't farm yourself, you can make a lot of money by selling the land to merchants.

Watching the soldiers leave, thunder came down the city wall, and he had to think about building a bastion a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.

In the evening, the cavalry who had been out of the city for a day turned back.

The purpose of the cavalry going out of the city this time is to kill the scouts to create conflicts, which is just a very simple task for Guan Ning Cavalry.

After all, with Lei Ming's personality, he would send soldiers to harass the barbarian tribe even if he was okay. This area is very familiar to him now, and he also drew a map for this purpose.

Various terrains and locations of barbarian tribes are marked on the map.

Commander, we have ambushed a team of scouts outside the city. According to your instructions, we deliberately let one person go back to report.

Well, well done. Lei Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of Xiao Ming's order, for them, all he needed was to obey the order.

And just as he was about to send the battle report back to Qingzhou, a large number of barbarian cavalry appeared sixty miles northwest of Shanhaiguan.

The leader is none other than Guertai, the flag leader of the Huyantuo tribe who once lived in Youzhou.

Banner, it is here that we were ambushed. The escaped scout said to Gultai.

Looking at the corpses of hundreds of barbarian soldiers on the ground, Gultai seemed to be able to shoot flames from his eyes.

Lei Ming, you are deceiving people too much. Guertai said angrily, he now knew that the general in Shanhaiguan was Lei Ming.

Because since Shanhaiguan was lost, this Guanning cavalry has always entered the grasslands every three or five times to harass the tribes on the grassland. During this period, they and Guanning cavalry have won each other.

It's just that this mutual victory and defeat not only did not make them feel balanced, but it became more and more worried, because in their opinion, this Guan Ning Iron Cavalry was growing too fast.

No cavalry had ever been able to fight their cavalry on the steppe.

Banner, do we have to continue to endure? If this continues, our tribe will have no way to live here. A captain said.

Guertai looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan and said, You coward, what's so scary, Dataiji said that the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom is dying, and when he dies, the Great Yu Kingdom will definitely be in chaos, and now the Great Yu Kingdom will be in chaos. The king of Liang has secretly sent someone to see the Khan, made him a minister, and recognized the Khan as his father, just waiting for the chaos in the Great Yu Kingdom, so that they can use our cavalry to seize the throne, and we can directly take advantage of that time. If King Liang and the second prince are killed, the Da Yu Kingdom will be ours.

When the generals heard the words, they burst into laughter.
