Iron Dynasty

Eight thousand men against more than twenty thousand elite cuirassiers.

This war was destined to be a massacre, and the intensively charged cuirassiers drove the horses in three rows and rushed towards the barbarian cavalry.

Moments before the two sides collided, the cuirassiers collectively took out their crossbow arrows and fired them, and then threw the crossbow arrows as weapons at other barbarian soldiers.

The moment they met, the barbarian cavalry fell one after another, causing confusion in the formation.

Seeing this, Qi Guangyi immediately commanded the cavalry to wrap around the barbarian cavalry from both sides to wrap dumplings. After an hour of fighting, the barbaric cavalry was completely destroyed, leaving only wandering horses on the battlefield.

Clean up the battlefield and collect all the horses. Qi Guangyi was covered in blood. Archie didn't know that he died at the hands of the soldier, but he didn't bother to look for it.

Now all he needs is a war horse of the barbarians. As far as he knows, there are 63,000 barbarians entering Bashu this time.

Among them, 3,000 died or fell behind after entering Tubo, and only 60,000 entered Bashu.

But even so, the annihilation of 60,000 barbarian cavalry this time was a huge victory.

Because in previous wars it was mainly barbarian slave soldiers that were eliminated, the real barbarian soldiers died very rarely.

Therefore, the defeat of that kind of war did not have much impact on the Golden Horde at all.

For the barbarians who are now in short supply of food, it doesn't matter how many slave soldiers die. In their eyes, slaves are not people at all, but goods.

But the barbarians who lost 60,000 cavalry this time will definitely feel pain.

On the contrary, now Qi Guangyi will probably wake up laughing when he dreams.

The 60,000 cavalry horses, except for the number of losses, can at least form another 40,000 cavalry. In this way, each army in the Great Yu Kingdom can be equipped with a sufficient number of cavalry.

Looking at the horses on the battlefield with a smile, Qi Guangyi suddenly remembered something, and he immediately called the soldiers and asked him to pass the good news of Aqige's execution back to Qingzhou.

In this way, the Bashu rebellion was completely pacified.

Five days later, the news arrived in Qingzhou.

After reading the news sent by Qi Guangyi, Xiao Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was the continued destruction of the Great Yu Kingdom by these cavalry.

Now that all these people have been cleaned up, the country in Dayu has become stable.

Your Majesty, you can rest easy now, no one thought of what happened this time. Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded. The Great Yu country is very big, so there are so many loopholes to be drilled. In the past, he did not pay enough attention to Bashu, and the precautions against Tubo were too low.

Now he has to be vigilant and stabilize the country in the southwest, because this is not only the place of Tianfu in Dayu Kingdom, but also the area with the highest chromium storage in Dayu, especially the location of Tubo is where the rich ore is located.

And the reason he needs chrome is simple.

Because the development of firearms in Dayu Kingdom has now reached a bottleneck period, according to the test data provided by Song Changping, these flash cap firing guns have a low probability of exploding after using smokeless gunpowder.

This phenomenon had never happened before. Xiao Ming had already anticipated this issue, so he asked Song Changping to strictly limit the dosage of smokeless gunpowder, produce a small amount of smokeless gunpowder paper-cased bullets, and still use black gunpowder on a large scale. Carton Bullets.

The reason is very simple. He expected that the quality of the barrel would not be able to withstand the explosive dose of gunpowder. After all, with the emergence of smokeless gunpowder bullets, firearms began to use chrome-molybdenum steel and other barrel materials, and this material is currently unmanufacturable.

Therefore, when this alloy suitable for gun barrels cannot be produced, the muskets of Dayu Kingdom may only stop there.

Technically, it can only be developed to the breech, which requires precision parts to achieve.

After thinking through these issues, Xiao Ming felt that it was time for the layout. The southwest direction of the Great Yu Kingdom is also a rich area of ​​various rare metals in contemporary times. He must firmly control this place in his own hands.

And if he wants to do this, he has to deal with the enemy in the southwest, Tubo. This time, Tubo's release of the Golden Horde into Bashu is giving him a reason for war.

Once he has time to fight against Tibet, he can take it out and use it at any time.

Although the Bashu rebellion has been quelled, the culprits are still at large. I will take care of them one by one. Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.

After a pause, he continued: By the way, this time Qi Guangyi captured 60,000 barbarian slave soldiers. These slave soldiers are the strong labor that the mines need. Talk to the Mineral Department and ask them to send someone to Bashu. And Tubo, secretly looking for chrome ore.

Qian Dafu is proficient in mining, and he naturally understands this. He said: Yes, the emperor, the old minister will go to the Mineral Department later. These 60,000 people can't be wasted. Now the slaves of the Great Yu Kingdom are in short supply.

Xiao Ming decided to find the ore, and Xiao Ming felt that he had to go to Lutong. After the chrome ore was found, it would be related to smelting, which had to be done by them.

...

In the vast grassland, the merchants from Shanhaiguan have arrived in Shengdu, and along the way, they have also publicized the method of executing the barbarian generals of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Khan, this is Hakata Taiji's corpse. The businessman fell to the ground and howled.

In front of the Golden Horde, Dolgo's face was as pale as paper, and Hakata's biological mother, who had arrived after hearing the news, was already crying, and at the same time, many nobles of the Golden Horde also cried sadly.

This is the first Taiji of the Golden Horde who died in the Great Yu Kingdom since the war with the Great Yu Kingdom.

Wu Shugu, Bei Shan, Anba and other Taijigu were all present, and they were silent when they looked at Bodo in the shroud.

Hakata has been dead for a month, and now the body has changed shape, but they still recognized it at first sight as Hakata.

Khan, Bodo died for the Khanate, you must avenge Bodo! Bodo's mother cried while hugging Dolgo's leg.

Dolgo has always liked Bodo very much, so he sent him to Bashu this time. He thought it would be easy this time, but he didn't expect such a mistake.

At this time, he looked at Bei Shan, who showed no guilt.

He knew that he couldn't blame him, because this time it was Hakata himself who was greedy and delayed the evacuation time.

Because according to the agreed time, Hakata should have led the army to withdraw from Songzhou City, but the soldiers outside did not see them come out at the appointed time.

My son, Father Khan will kill the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom with his own hands to pay homage to you. Dolgo's nails were embedded in the flesh because of too much force, and a strong anger was brewing in his heart.

Since he ascended the throne of Khan, all the humiliation he has suffered has been brought by the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and now he will lead his empire to destroy the enemy who killed his son!
