Iron Dynasty

Uuuuuu...

On the chaotic battlefield, the barbarians sounded their horns of retreat.

The barbarian soldiers who were fighting with the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom no longer wanted to fight, but turned their horses and headed for Jinzhou City.

For a time, the battlefield was full of fleeing barbarian cavalry.

Lei Ming was overjoyed, and he immediately led the cavalry under his command to pursue the pursuit.

It's just that the barbarian cavalry evacuated quickly, and in order to prevent the cavalry from the Dayu country from pursuing, Wu Shugu deliberately left a part of the cavalry behind.

Kill all these barbarian cavalry responsible for the break, and when the thunder looks again, most of the barbarian cavalry have already run a long distance.

Commander, do you want to continue the pursuit? a cavalry division commander asked.

No need, although Wu Zhugu has withdrawn, but the strength is still there, rushing to pursue is afraid that Wu Zhugu is in the middle. Now you go to clean the battlefield and count the casualties. Lei Ming said.

The cavalry division commander led the way. At this time, Lei Ming went in the direction of the chariot formation. At this time, Luo Xin also came out of the chariot formation.

Thunder, we won.

Luo Xin didn't shout, his tone was calm, as if he was saying a very common thing, but anyone could see from his trembling hands how excited he was now.

Lei Ming nodded lightly. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said, Yes, ours won. We defeated the barbarians on the grassland, and we will continue to win from now on.

The two looked at Pingzhou City at the same time, looked at each other, and went into the city.

After fighting for several days, the city on the grassland finally fell into their hands.

Inside the city, Lu Fei was surrounded by cheering soldiers, who fought from the south of the city to the north of the city, and now the city of Pingzhou is completely under their control.

Looking at the excited soldiers, Lu Fei laughed loudly, Niu Ben gave them three days, and now they broke Pingzhou City in just one day.

With this city on the steppe, they have since then had a fortress to attack the barbarian hinterland.

However, he was not carried away by the victory. After the city was broken, he still had a lot of things to do, and the barbarians might make a comeback at any time. Now he needs to repair the city wall and turn Pingzhou City into a fortress of the Great Yu Kingdom.

So he summoned his generals and explained their various tasks before he felt at ease.

At this time, Luo Xin and Lei Ming also arrived in the city. The three of them looked at each other and laughed. These days of fighting together made the three of them more and more familiar.

Now you can sleep soundly. Lu Fei said.

Lei Ming yawned, and he said, If you say that, I'm really tired. These days are really hard.

No matter how difficult it is, I have already dispatched cavalry hunters to send the battle to Shanhaiguan. I don't know what the emperor will order next. Luo Xin said.

Lu Fei looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. At this time, the dim light shrouded the entire battlefield. The gunpowder smoke, the broken flags, and the wounded soldiers who supported each other and cleaned the battlefield formed a tragic picture after the war.

After pondering for a while, he said: This time the barbarians have suffered heavy losses, and our casualties are not small. The soldiers need time to rest. This Jinzhou City is different from Pingzhou City, and it will be more difficult to take it down.

Lei Ming and Luo Xin nodded. Although the barbarians were defeated this time, they still retained a lot of troops. If these troops were to be assembled in Jinzhou, it would be a hard fight again.

...

The next day, cavalry hunters from Pingzhou rushed into Shanhaiguan, shouting the victory of Pingzhou City.

The soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan shouted wildly after hearing the news, and the news quickly reached the ears of Xiao Ming and others.

Hearing this news, Xiao Ming immediately called Niu Ben and Luo Quan over.

The three of them planted the Dragon Flag of the Great Yu Kingdom on the Pingzhou City on the sand table at the staff headquarters, which will now be the land of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Something's wrong, why did the barbarians send reinforcements to Jinzhou as soon as Luo Hong's people set out? Although he won, Niu Ben was still very confused.

Xiao Ming said: It's very simple, it must be Qi Guangyi who did what we want to do. This general has always been skilled and daring, which allowed us to recover Pingzhou City two days ahead of schedule.

Niu Ben nodded, this is the only possibility now.

Luo Quan looked excited. At first, he had pessimistic thoughts about the Northern Expedition, because in his opinion, the military strength of the Great Yu Kingdom was almost the same as that of the barbarians.

Da Yu had muskets, but the barbarians had excellent cavalry. He was a little surprised by how the war was now.

Now that Pingzhou City has been captured, Liaozhou City should be taken down if there is no accident. This Jinzhou City is equal to being attacked on both sides. Your Majesty, do you want to launch an attack on Jinzhou now? Luo Quan asked.

After thinking for a moment, he said: Stop the attack for the time being, this time the barbarians lose their morale, and they won't be as mad as before, and although we won, according to the cavalry hunters, Lu Fei and the others also lost a lot. , the most important thing is that Liaozhou and Pingzhou are not stable enough, don't forget the barbarians in this city, they will seize every opportunity to cause chaos.

The emperor said very much that continuous fighting will make the soldiers dissatisfied. It is better to let Lu Fei and the others rest in Pingzhou City for a month before waiting for an opportunity to act. Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming also means this, and he has another purpose. He said: I have received news that the military workshop has produced the first batch of scopes, and I need time to train a group of sharpshooters.

Luo Quan and Niu Ben looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what a scope was, they knew that it would definitely help in the war.

The three were talking when suddenly a cavalry hunter came out of the door and said loudly: Report to the emperor, Commander Ye Qingyun has news that they have successfully captured Liaozhou.

Hahaha... Ye Qingyun didn't disappoint us. Niu Ben picked up the dragon flag and planted it on Liaozhou City.

Xiao Ming showed a smile. The city of Pingzhou is in the south, the city of Liaozhou is in the north, and Jinzhou is in the middle. If he wins Jinzhou, then half of the northeast is under his control.

Looking down at the sand table, Xiao Ming was very ambitious. The victory of the war gave him hope of taking back the entire Northeast. For him, this was the source of the urgent shortage of slaves.

At the same time, it is also the strong foundation of the Golden Horde. Once lost, the barbarians will lose 90% of the population and become pure nomadic tribes again.

By then, the barbarians will no longer have enough population to wage wars of attrition with him.

Thinking of this, he said to the hunting cavalry: Go back and tell Ye Qingyun that the barbarians in Liaozhou City will stay if they are available, and all those who are not available will be escorted back to the Great Yu Kingdom.

Yes, Your Majesty. The cavalry hunter led the way.

At this time, Xiao Ming said: The war is going well, I will not stay here for a long time in Shanhaiguan. I will go to Pingzhou City to condolence to the soldiers in the past two days and prepare to return to Qingzhou. This time the barbarians are defeated, they will inevitably turn to the defensive. After the rest, they will attack Jinzhou. A respite for the barbarians.
