Iron Armored Emperor

A few days after the dream, Di Qiye was worried about the situation on the front line, so he chose to march day and night.

Facts have proved the correctness of this decision.

The whole line of the Ural River was frozen into solid ice, and the continuous heavy snow covered the ice with a thick layer of snow, which provided a natural shortcut for the southern criminals of the Yier cavalry.

The general in white and iron armor stood on his horse and looked out in the howling wind and snow, with his back straight like a pine and his eyes like a torch.

Behind him, the dilapidated Shuatu City was as silent as if it had already died in such a wind knife and snow sword.

"General!" The guard who came to report to the horse had a rough and hoarse voice.

Di Qiye looked down at him: "How is it?"

Jinwei gritted his teeth and said, "Ten households, Jiukong!"

The barbarism of the Yier tribe was beyond the expectations of the governor's office in Yizhou. Because Di Qiye attacked five cities in a row and frightened away the Yier cavalry without a single soldier, so they all thought that the Yier tribe There is nothing to be afraid of, and even think that His Majesty's sending Ding Guohou is superfluous, and he will know that it is not good until he really hands it over.

They failed to defend Yegeng City and suffered heavy casualties, so they had to retreat to Shuatu City, which eventually fell.

If Di Qiye hadn't led his troops to arrive in time and attacked them in one fell swoop when they were retreating again, not only would they have killed the Siyaers who were about to continue to invade the south, and even recaptured Shutu City in one go, I am afraid that even the three cities behind The city was not spared either.

But after entering Shutu City, even the oldest Chu soldiers couldn't help crying.

Everything that could be robbed was robbed.

All that could be killed were killed.

Shutu City became a lifeless dead city.

This was the case for Shuatu City, which had just been occupied by the Yi'er people for a few days. Yegeng City, which was the first to be breached, had no room for optimistic guesses.

Whether it was the elite soldiers who followed Di Qiye to the north, or the remnants of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were silent.

"Let's go."

Di Qiye turned his horse's head and faced the northeast: "Let's go and take Yegeng City back. Let the blood of the Yier people stain the banks of the Ural River red!"

Roaring, the soldiers got on their horses in unison, followed their God of War, and rushed to Yegeng.

At the same time, the nobles and generals of the Ayir tribe who were beaten back to Yegeng City were arguing.

The tribal nobles and generals were divided into two factions with different opinions.

One faction believes that the fact that they were beaten by the Chu army yesterday and fled was only because the Chu army that joined later was beyond their expectations, not because that Chu army was so strong, and they should fight back and eliminate that Chu army. Soldiers, continue to invade south.

The other faction believed that they had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Some of them still remembered Di Qiye, especially Di Qiye's black war horse.In yesterday's encounter, they were surprised to find that every horse of the Great Chu cavalry was taller and stronger than the Mongolian horses they were proud of.They should have withdrawn from Dachu with their loot in time.

They once went on an expedition to Europa and took down one city after another. They killed wherever they went. They had no civilization, and they only conquered and looted. more ruthless.

Just like the way they conquered these cities, breaking through with brute force, never retreating, life or death.With absolute ferocity and barbarism, kill those foreigners who claim to be civilized.

Even though they were beaten back to their hometown in despair by foreigners, they still thought that they could still beat these weak neighbors on the southern continent.

The same arrogance in the bones makes the two factions quarrel endlessly and refuse to give in to each other.

"My lords," the slave soldier Kneeling on the ground crawled in, "Da Chu, the general in white, is calling!"

"what?!"

The aristocratic generals of Assassin hurriedly put on their furs, stepped on their swords, and rushed outside to have a look.

Thousands of troops came, and the Chu flag stood firm in the wind and snow. The one who rushed to the forefront was the general in white who beheaded their countless slave soldiers and three noble generals yesterday.

The big black horse that made them jealous, hissed angrily, and with a kick of its front hoof, it smashed through the chest of the slave soldier in front of him. The big black horse kicked out.

The blood splashed on the man's jade-like face.

He raised his head during the killing, looked in their direction, and then urged the black horse to dismount and gallop towards them.

The aristocratic generals of Sair were terrified, they hurried on their horses, and called on the slave soldiers to back them up.

Di Qiye's heart was burning with anger.

The assassins have committed unforgivable crimes of aggression.

He said that the Ural River would be stained red with the blood of the assassin cavalry, and he would definitely do it.

"kill----!"

This battle lasted for two days and two nights.

The snow on the banks of the Ural River was dyed red, then turned black, and was then trampled into mud by the fighting horses from both sides.

In the end, the Chu soldiers won.

The nobles of Asiya were frightened by the beating, and led the remnant slave soldiers onto the frozen surface of the Ural River in a hurry.

Some of the booty they plundered from Shuatu City and Yegeng City had been sent back to the other side of the Ural River, while the rest were discarded by them by the river bank, and they never had a chance to be transported back to the Siyaers.

What puzzled them was that the general in white had prepared archers, but did not release the arrows for a long time.

Could it be that Da Chu was afraid of the strength of the Yi'er tribe and dared not really do it?While wondering, they urged their horses to run wildly, wishing they could cross the wide surface of the Ural River in one step.

When most of the Argentine cavalry reached the center of the river, Di Qiye lightly raised his forearm and made a gesture.

The sharp arrow whose head was wrapped with kerosene cloth strips was ignited and shot out quickly.The flaming arrows fell into the snow one by one, causing the Siyaers to stop even more suspiciously.

What's the use of shooting an arrow into the snow?

Suddenly, a raging fire shot up into the sky, and the fire melted the snow. Wherever the snow spread, it burned. The assassin cavalrymen who were close to them turned into fireballs in the raging fire. Rolling to put out the fire, the pungent smell of kerosene in the snow water will declare that their vitality is completely cut off here.

In just a few short breaths, more than half of the Astrid cavalry were trapped in the raging fire on the ice, rolling and howling. The Astrids who landed in time were terrified, and could only watch helplessly as the river seemed to be going forever. A flame that never goes out.

According to the local chronicles of Shutu City, there is a black water spring in the north of Shuatu City, which is not drinkable, but can be used for cooking, so it is also called fat water and fire oil.It can also be added to ink to develop ink sticks, which are darker and brighter than pine smoke ink, so it is also called lacquer water and stone lacquer.

Thousands of years later, it became known as petroleum, one of the most widely used energy sources in human history.

Gu Lie did not expect Di Qiye to fight as fast as ever.

He originally wanted to find a reason to set up the Beibin Daotai to pave the way for Di Qiye to help Jiang Tong prepare the Northern Territory Protectorate, but it was a Daotai after all, and it was impossible to just do it. The second city was slaughtered, the dispatch of the population to appease the hearts of the people and other issues followed one after another, and he didn't have time to do it at all.

As a result, the news of the great victory came, and two days later, the magistrate of Yizhou carefully posted a note, saying that Beibin Daotai had a heavy responsibility in the fall of Suitu City, and was taken to the city gate by Ding Guohou and chopped down.

It is said that the officials participated in the use of lynching by the Marquis of the country.

Gu Lie said with a straight face, Dingguohou is not waiting for generals, the widow let him do things cheaply, how can he be so pedantic in wartime.

The speaker was slapped with pedantic words by His Majesty, and he didn't recover for several days.

Some colleagues persuaded him, saying that you don't even look at who you are joining. It has been four years since the reign, when did you see His Majesty get angry with Marquis Dingguo?

Gu Lie was more than angry.

Gu Lie was so proud of his general.

How long did you fight in the previous life?A whole year.How much food and silver did you spend?More than ten times.

This is called having a good wife at home.

Gu Lie couldn't say this to the outside world, he could only sigh to Jiang Yang in a vague way: "Dingguohou, Xianye."

Jiang Yang also cupped his hands and said, "I am the God of Soldiers in Chu, so naturally I am unparalleled in the world."

"The Wushuang war horse also made great achievements," Gu Lie loved Wuji, and praised Wushuang as well.

"Yes," Jiang Yang, who saw His Majesty's embarrassment, pinched his nose and echoed, "Horses are good, people are better."

The historian wrote on the paper: Your Majesty is very pleased.

"I don't know when I will return to Beijing."

"As soon as possible, at the end of this month or early next month," Jiang Yang is the prime minister, and he naturally knows the preparation progress of the Northern Territory Protectorate. Di Qiye only needs to help Jiang Tong figure out the general system and regulations, so he speculated , "At the latest, it should be in the middle of next month."

The historian wrote on the paper: Your Majesty thinks about it very much.

"General," Jiang Tong tried to dissuade Di Qiye again and again, feeling a little ashamed, "You helped me day and night, and you didn't have much rest. You'd better recover from your injury for a few days before leaving."

Di Qiye kept his right arm still, grabbed the rein with his left hand, and quickly got on the horse: "No need. I'm in the capital, and I have important things to do."

Jiang Tong chose the next best thing: "Then at least change to a carriage."

"No need," Di Qiye bent down and rubbed Wushuang's head, "I'll accompany this old man on another long journey."

One more long run, or one last long run?The Great Chu Bingshen, such a good general, why did he have to go back, trapped in the capital, and become a prince of Dingguo.Jiang Tong felt a suffocation in his heart, and knelt down beside the horse, his voice sounded like he was choking.

"General."

"Let's say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see you again."

"The mountains are high and the waters are far away. I hope there will be a time in the future. I hope the general will take care of you, and my subordinate Jiang Tong will bid farewell!"

Di Qiye didn't know how to explain him like this, so he didn't explain it at all.He was in a hurry to go back to see Gu Lie.

Amidst the sound of falling snow, there was a sudden neigh, followed by the sound of neat hooves.

The general in white armor rode a black horse and led dozens of guards, broke into the vast snow, gradually drifted away, and rushed towards the capital.
