Iron Dynasty

Jinzhou.

After a few days of rest, the Northern Expedition Corps headed towards Yingzhou, Raozhou and Jianzhou according to Niuben's plan.

At the same time, the news from the secret guards also spread to the staff in Jinzhou.

The barbarians are evacuating the people in the city. Niu Ben was a little surprised, this was the news just sent by the secret guard.

The secret guard who came to send the information said: You can't be wrong, the news comes from Shengdu, and now the barbarian khan has ordered the slaughter of slaves and the burning of the city.

Beasts! Niu Ben slammed a group on the table, and the barbarians after the defeat were even more cruel and violent.

Walking out of the tent, Niu Ben called a group of cavalry hunters and said, You should immediately inform Luo Xin, Lei Ming and Niu Ben, and let them speed up their march and occupy the three cities as soon as possible.

Yes, General. The cavalry hunters turned around and left. It wasn't long before the army set off, and they could still catch up.

After giving the order, Niu Ben turned around to return to the camp, when a group of cavalry suddenly arrived.

The cavalry stopped in front of Niuben and threw the five people tied to their horses on the ground. The cavalry company commander in the lead said, General, we found five sneaky Japanese people during our patrol.

Niu Ben frowned slightly, and he looked at the five people on the ground. These five people were dressed as businessmen, and they were not tall.

What did they say? Niu Ben asked.

The cavalry company commander said depressedly: General, we asked, but we don't understand the bird language they said at all, so let the court send an interpreter.

Qingzhou is too far away, it will take half a month to go back and forth. Now you go to Liaozhou and ask Ye Qingyun, he has been in Koryo, and he must know a few people who understand the language. After all, Koryo and Japanese pirates have always been on the same page.

The cavalry company commander responded and turned to go to Liaozhou. Jinzhou is very close to Liaozhou, and it only takes a day and a half to ride a horse.

Watching the cavalry leave, Niu Ben instructed: Take care of the five people strictly and must not let them die.

Yes, General. The guards immediately took the five people down.

At the same time, the hunting cavalry out of the city chased the three-way army respectively.

An hour later, Luo Xin, who went to Raozhou, got Niuben's order, and he immediately ordered to speed up to Raozhou City.

However, in his opinion, even if he accelerates, he may only get an empty city at that time, but the news of the secret guard is very timely, and now there may be hope in a race against time.

Compared with Luo Xin's worries, Lei Ming who went to Yingzhou was very calm, because Yingzhou was too close to them and too far from the barbarians, so they could easily arrive earlier.

And Lu Fei is more indifferent than the two, because Jianzhou is the most barren of the six cities, and he does not expect any supplies from Jianzhou City. What Dayu Kingdom wants is only this city to show its sphere of influence, and at the same time As a bridgehead to attack the steppe and develop northward.

But even so, Niu Ben's orders had to be obeyed, and he also issued an order to march quickly.

After his order was issued, the soldiers immediately trotted. Rapid marching was a must-train item during recruit training.

So in the face of orders, the soldiers were very calm.

Three days later, the army led by Luo Xin appeared in Raozhou, which should have arrived in four days.

Qi Guangyi, who arrived first, said, After the barbarians evacuated Raozhou City yesterday, the barbarian soldiers began to burn the city in the city. After our cavalry arrived, some barbarian cavalrymen withdrew from Raozhou City without fighting with us. Some of the barbarian cavalry and footsteps did not withdraw.

Luo Xin said: Since the barbarians have moved westward, they will definitely not fight to the death with us in Raozhou City. If the city gate is broken, they will panic and flee. You will not be too late to send cavalry to hunt them down.

Qi Guangyi nodded.

This time Niuben sent him to Raozhou City for a purpose. Now the barbarian city has basically been taken away, and the rest are only the barbarian tribes on the grassland. If you want to expel these barbarian tribes, you will need their cavalry. .

After all, the cavalry's mobility on the grasslands is too strong, and ordinary walking feet can't keep up.

The two made a plan for the battle. At this time, Luo Xin asked the artillery to set up the battle, and there was a burst of artillery fire on the gate of Raozhou City.

Under the power of the new type of shells, the city gate of Raozhou City was vulnerable, and two shells blew the entire wooden gate to pieces.

Blow up the horn! Luo Xin was confident. The victory of Jinzhou City made him see the fact that the barbarians were just paper tigers. Before absolute force, the barbarians could only retreat.

As soon as his voice fell, the sound of the charge horn sounded, and the soldiers who were high morale because of the continuous victory screamed and rushed to Raozhou City.

Soldiers, we can take a good night's sleep after taking Raozhou City. Luo Xin shouted.

His words stimulated the soldiers who marched in a hurry for three days, and they rushed towards the city with their last strength.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers in the city were already startled, and the soldiers who escaped from Jinzhou City described the firearms of the Great Yu Kingdom as terrifying, and the terrible legends about earth fire also spread.

Run, Da Yuguo is calling.

Some barbarian soldiers ran away when they saw the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom with muskets. Now all the clansmen in the city have withdrawn, and the remaining orders are to massacre and burn the city.

But compared to their own lives, they are obviously not willing to risk the slaughter of slaves who are as cheap as grass in their eyes.

Bang bang bang...

The troops of the Great Yu Kingdom who entered the city were almost chasing after the barbarian soldiers. After shooting at close range, they charged with bayonets.

At this time, in the city of Raozhou, both the number of soldiers and the combat effectiveness were dominated by the Great Yu Kingdom. In the face of the fierce offensive, the barbarian soldiers continued to withdraw from the east gate to the west gate.

Two hours later, the army of the Great Yu Kingdom fully occupied Raozhou City, but under the destruction of the barbarians, the city was full of fire, and the soldiers once again threw themselves into the firefighting operation.

Outside the city, Qi Guangyi had long been waiting for the barbarian soldiers who escaped from the city. He roughly estimated that there were only more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers who escaped from the city.

And most of them were infantry.

Looking at the billowing smoke in the city, Qi Guangyi's eyes became cold, and he would also be cruel to the cruel barbarians.

Kill, leave no one behind! Qi Guangyi urged him to sit down on his horse, and one person rushed to the chaotic barbarian soldiers.

In an instant, the high-speed rushing warhorse directly knocked the barbarian soldiers into the air, while Qi Guangyi slashed left and right, and the barbarian soldiers kept wailing before dying.

Behind him, 30,000 cavalrymen rolled like a torrent from the escape route of the barbarian soldiers, leaving no armor wherever they went.
