Iron Dynasty

Chapter 798 Frontline

Winter is coming to spring, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.

After getting good news one after another, Xiao Ming was in a good mood. He left the staff, and Niu Ben and Luo Quan followed, claiming that they were.

Obviously, it is impossible to capture the six cities in a short period of time. The war will take time, and this vast land in the northeast will take several months to circle from south to north.

However, because of this vast area, if the entire northeast is under the control of the Great Yu Kingdom, the rich resources and land of this land will provide a lot of assistance to the industry of the Great Yu Kingdom.

The three climbed up the Shanhaiguan city wall along the steps, and Niu Ben continued to ask: Your Majesty, if this is the case, what will Qi Guangyi do?

Now that the barbarians are newly defeated, they must be panicked and have no intention of attacking Qi Guangyi. Not to mention that the Luo Hong people have gone, which means that Qi Guangyi now has a solid camp, so there is no need to worry about supplies and retreats. Therefore, let him stay in Jinzhou to continue. Let’s disturb the spring farming of the barbarians, but this time, he can expand the scope a bit and go to loot farther places.” Xiao Ming said.

Luo Quan also said: Yes, and Liaozhou and Pingzhou are in our hands. Qi Guangyi can also go to these two cities at any time. If the three cities are connected together, the life of the barbarians will be even more difficult.

After all, the three of them laughed at the same time.

The strategy of occupying the Northeast was set. At noon that day, Xiao Ming and Niu Ben, Luo Quan and the three went to Pingzhou City under the protection of the guards. At the same time, Xiao Ming asked the accompanying newspaper reporters to pass back the news of the great victory of Pingzhou City. Qingzhou.

This war has touched the hearts of countless people up and down the court, and it's time for them to cheer.

At noon the next day, Xiao Ming and his party arrived at Pingzhou City.

After a busy day, the Pingzhou battlefield was basically cleaned up. Except for the blood on the ground, the place returned to normal.

Knowing that Xiao Ming came to Pingzhou, the three of Lu Fei were already waiting outside the city.

Chen and others see the emperor.

In front of the city gate being repaired, the three of Lu Fei bowed and saluted.

Free gift!

Xiao Ming looked at the trench in front of the city gate, and this scene made him frown.

The army seldom used trenches in the cold weapon battle array, but it is not without history. After all, the trenches dug by the barbarians are not comparable to the trenches during the First World War.

To Xiao Ming, this is nothing more than a battle of trenches in the history of 627 years.

During this year, the Bedouin Otufang tribe and the Jewish mercenaries of Khaybar, led by Abu Sufyan, laid siege to Medina.

Under the disparity, the guardian Muhammad organized the siege of the city by enemy cavalry and infantry by digging trenches around the suburbs of Medina.

So in his view, it is not surprising that this method was passed on to the barbarians by the British, after all, Europe has historically been entangled in that region.

This is the trench of the barbarians? Xiao Ming sighed.

Lu Fei nodded, Exactly, if these trenches hadn't stopped our attack, it wouldn't have taken us so long to take Pingzhou City.

Have you seen the British in this battle? Xiao Ming asked.

I see. At first, this Englishman has been hiding in Pingzhou City and did not show up, but after we entered the city, we saw him fleeing on horseback in a hurry. This man's appearance is very different from the barbarians, so he can't be wrong. Lu Fei was firm.

Lu Fei's words reconfirmed that the British were involved in the war between the Great Yu Kingdom and the barbarians, which was nothing short of provocation for him. Because of the malice of the British, he now paid more than ever to defeat the barbarians.

Clenching his fist tightly, Xiao Ming's teeth itch with hatred. When he stabilizes East Asia, he will fight against Western powers. At that time, he must make the British lose everything.

While talking, Xiao Ming and his party walked towards the city. The soldiers along the road all showed excitement when they saw Xiao Ming's arrival, and stood on both sides of the road to salute Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming smiled and returned it with a military salute. Now he is the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom and the commander-in-chief of this campaign.

After the battle in Pingzhou City, the soldiers all settled in the city. In order to console the soldiers, Xiao Ming walked around the city with everyone.

When he came this time, he also asked Niu Ben to prepare a lot of mutton and pork. Every time he went, he would ask Niu Ben to distribute the meat to the leading generals, and let them cook porridge and distribute it to the soldiers.

Along the way, Lu Fei and the others couldn't keep their mouths shut.

The most chilling thing for a soldier is to bury his bones in a foreign country but no one cares. Now that the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom came to Pingzhou City to see the soldiers in this battle in person, how could they not be excited?

After condolences to the soldiers, Xiao Ming went to the camp of the three of Lu Fei.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked a serious question, How many barbarians were killed and injured in this war, and how many soldiers were killed or injured by us.

When talking about this issue, the joy of victory faded from everyone's faces, and Lu Fei said after a moment of silence: Yesterday we cleaned the battlefield, this time the barbarian cavalry lost more than 40,000 people, and our cavalry casualties were about 8,000 people. In terms of infantry, the barbarians, including slave soldiers and barbarian soldiers, found a total of 170,000 corpses, and we lost 13,600 people.

Niu Ben heard the words and said, Your Majesty, this is already unbelievable for the war.

Yes, Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Yu Kingdom, no one has ever been able to kill more than 200,000 barbarians at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties. Luo Quan said excitedly.

They thought that the casualties would also be great, but the result was beyond their expectations.

Xiao Ming felt a little distressed, these were all his soldiers, but he also understood that in war, people would die, and his soldiers could not be invulnerable.

We must return the bones of every fallen soldier, and don't let the families of the soldiers feel chills.

Xiao Ming said solemnly, he understands that the ratio of losses in battle is very exaggerated. The ratio of losses between the two sides has basically reached the level of ten to one. To achieve such a huge strategy with such few casualties, any emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom will probably wake up with laughter.

But this is not enough for him, after all, this is only a barbarian in the age of cold weapons. If he fights against the Japanese country, he will suffer even greater losses in the fight against the Western powers.

At this moment, he finally understood how much his ancestors paid to win a peaceful and prosperous world.

Yes, Your Majesty. Lu Fei replied, According to what the Emperor said, every soldier now has his own military badge around his neck, and we will find their family members based on the badge.

Xiao Ming nodded. This military badge is also known as a dog badge in modern times, in order to identify the soldier's identity.

Looking at Lu Fei's map spread out on the table, Xiao Ming's expression became firm, This time we must eliminate the northern frontier, and no longer let the people of the Great Yu country suffer from slaughter, and the blood of the soldiers must not be shed in vain.
