Iron Dynasty

Hakata looked at the burning village in front of him with a cruel smile in his eyes.

After ordering the slave soldiers to besiege the city of Yizhou, he led 60,000 cavalry to plunder the Bashu territory in six routes.

In the past six months, the Golden Horde has sang the drums of gold, in order to prepare for the plunder of Bashu, the Great Yu Kingdom. Another cold winter is coming soon. No descendant of the Golden Horde wants to see their clansmen in the cold and hunger. died in.

In order to successfully capture Songzhou City, they sent envoys to Tibet half a year ago, and finally promised to loot a quarter of the wealth in exchange for borrowing from Tubo.

Hurry up, hurry up, don't let go of any grain or livestock in the village, there are still many villages to grab! Hakata shouted loudly.

In front of him, barbarian soldiers ran rampant in the village like tigers and wolves. The corpses of the people of Da Yu were lying on the ground, mixed with the screams of daughters and the cries of children. It seemed like a hell on earth.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers were walking back and forth in the village with machetes. They tied everything they could loot to their horses, while the cattle and sheep in the village were driven by them to the next village.

Such a tragic scene made Hakata's eyes flash with excitement, and he would like to thank Bei Shan for being able to pass through Tibet smoothly this time.

Although Bei Shan was punished again by his father Khan for his defeat in Goryeo, but three months after he returned to Shengdu, an Englishman came to Shengdu and began to teach them various tactics. This time, he also borrowed from Tubo. idea.

Fantastic British. Hakata thought, he saved the Golden Horde.

When he was in admiration, a barbarian general came to him and said, Boduo Taiji, the Khan asked us not to stay in Bashu for more than 20 days. Now the time is coming, we should withdraw from Songzhou to the grassland.

Hakata frowned when he heard the words, This time we managed to break into the territory of the Great Yu Kingdom. Isn't it a pity to leave so soon, now the soldiers' horses are not full of food, so we will wait a few more days, and even if When the Great Yu Kingdom rushes to help, it will first solve the siege of Yizhou, and then it will be too late to withdraw after getting the news.”

The general worried: Taiji, once the army of the Great Yu country arrives, we may not be able to leave.

Hmph, are you scared by the army of the Great Yu Kingdom? They are just muskets, but can muskets outrun our horses? Hakata rejected the general's proposal.

Seeing this, the general sighed and stopped persuading.

...

Chang'an, one day after the renovation of the capital of the Great Yu Kingdom, Luo Quan and Qi Guangyi led the cavalry directly to Songzhou.

After Xiao Ming reinstated him, he did not go to Jinling City to meet with Lu Fei, but instead led the cavalry with Qi Guangyi to Songzhou instead of Yizhou for help.

General Luo, it's only a day and a half from Chang'an to Songzhou, don't you really want to go to Yizhou? Qi Guangyi asked.

Luo Quan looked firm, Yizhou has 20,000 musketeers led by Di Ying, and the city has enough food and grass. As long as there is no internal chaos, the barbarian slave soldiers alone cannot conquer it, and this time the barbarian's purpose is to plunder, not Attack the city with heart, once they have plundered enough things, they will withdraw from Bashu, so what we need now is to prevent them from returning to the grassland from Songzhou City, and then join Lu Fei to annihilate this barbarian cavalry in one fell swoop.

Qi Guangyi nodded when he heard the words. The veteran had fought many battles with the barbarians and knew the temperament of the barbarians very well.

Seeing that Qi Guangyi still had doubts, Luo Quan continued: If Bei Shan, who is as cunning as a fox, led the raid this time, maybe they would have returned to the grassland, but the battle report said that it was Bodo who came this time. I am very concerned about this person. Understand, is a very greedy person, he is likely to delay the evacuation time.

In that case, it's better sooner rather than later, General Luo, let's go. Qi Guangyi said, looking at the morning glow.

Luo Quan was a little excited, and returning to the battlefield seemed to make him seem to be alive again.

During the time he lived in Qingzhou, he could be described as boring and important, just to avoid suspicion, he had been enduring it, but when the military reform appeared, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to avoid suspicion at all.

Riding the horse and whipping the whip, Niu Ben and Qi Guangyi hit the road again. Although the journey from Qingzhou to Chang'an was very tiring, the battle was so urgent that they could not allow them to rest too much.

At noon on the second day, Luo Quan and Qi Guangyi led 30,000 cavalry to the foot of Songzhou City. When he saw the barbarian soldiers on the city wall, they were overjoyed.

The general's predictions are as good as God, but I didn't expect that Boduo did not withdraw from Bashu because of his greed for looting. Qi Guangyi said excitedly.

Knowing that Songzhou was broken and the barbarians entered Bashu, all these generals were full of anger. The Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians were a feud, and they just wanted to kill these invaders.

Luo Quan stroked his beard and looked at Songzhou City. He pondered: This Songzhou City is the western gateway to Bashu, with mountains on both sides and a city in the middle. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Attack from here.

After a pause, he continued: Now, you should immediately block Songzhou City to prevent the barbarians from tipping off, and let the soldiers dig trenches outside the city to prevent the cavalry from entering the city.

Qi Guangyi nodded. He looked at Luo Quan in surprise. He didn't expect that the veteran who had not been out for a long time would know how to dig trenches at such a moment.

I have to say that Luo Quan's decision is right now. There are barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City, and Bodo leads 60,000 cavalry outside.

If Hakata comes back, they will suffer greatly under the internal and external attack.

Therefore, digging a trench now can prevent the soldiers from the inner city from raiding, and can also prevent Hakata from taking advantage of the cavalry of the barbarians to attack them.

After conveying Luo Quan's order, the soldiers immediately got off their horses and dug a trench 100 meters away from the city in front of the Songzhou City defenders.

After these trenches are completed, the soldiers led by Lu Fei should also arrive. Even if Hakata arrives first, they can rely on the cavalry to deal with Hakata for a few days.

The current cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom are not afraid of barbarian cavalry.

The barbarian soldiers in Songzhou City were very terrified when they saw the scene outside the city, but they did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Because most of the cavalry went out to loot the city, there are only 8,000 people in Songzhou City now guarding the city to prevent accidents. If they went out to fight, they would probably lose Songzhou City, which was much worse than the trenches in one place.

In such preparations, after four days, Lu Fei led the army to finally arrive, this time including 10,000 soldiers with guns and guns supported by Qingzhou.

This group of heavenly killers went to the Great Yu Kingdom to loot. Today, Grandpa Lu will teach them how to behave. Lu Fei arrived outside Songzhou City, and his first sentence was full of anger.
