Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1074

[Chapter 1074 Strategy]

“Yes, Khan!”

Ulanba’s voice fell, and Beidi generals shouted.

“Huh?” Ulanba was not happy when he heard the generals calling him Khan, but frowned.

“Yes, Admiral.” The generals reacted one after another and corrected their names.

After this period of restructuring, not only did Ulan Ba have the title of Admiral, but they were no longer Langlu and Commander-in-Chief, etc., but were replaced by Colonels, Majors and the like.

Emphasizing some of the rules of war, Ulan Ba let the generals leave.

Although under the guidance of the officers of the Ross State, the discipline of their Beidi army is still not as good as that of the Ross State Army and the Dasong Army, which is also a headache for him.

Therefore, before the battle, he summoned the generals to tell him about this matter. . .

For him, the era when Beidi cavalry relied on personal bravery to be invincible in the world is over.

In the future, they will integrate into the country of Ross and become part of the army of the country of Ross, and only fight in accordance with the fighting methods of the army of the country of Ross.

For the next six days, the battlefield was exceptionally quiet.

The armies of both sides are doing their own things without interfering with each other.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

And this tranquility didn’t last long, and the seventh day came to an end with the roar of artillery.

In the early morning of this day, the artillery of the Central Army assembled 320 howitzers and 42 rifled guns, and shelled the trench fortifications in Beidi.

“Swoosh…boom…”

One after another, the shells rose into the air, fell into the trench and exploded again, raising mud and grass leaves all over the sky.

At the moment when the shelling started, Beidi soldiers crouched in the trenches, eager to get into the ground for fear of being hit by shells.

The moment the cannon sounded, Ulanba and Ivan rushed out of the camp.

In their field of vision, the entire trench position was covered by artillery fire.

The shells kicked up clouds of dust like raindrops on dry dust.

Mixed with the dust is the smoke produced by gunpowder, making the entire battlefield look foggy.

“Damn Dasong people!” Looking at the battlefield full of artillery fire, Ulanba almost gritted his teeth.

The opponent’s artillery range is too far, and they don’t even have the ability to fight back in the face of shelling.

But in order to hold on, they had to endure it.

For a general, this kind of situation of being beaten but unable to fight back can drive people crazy.

Ivan also looked embarrassed.

They couldn’t see the position of the opponent’s artillery at all, indicating that their artillery was far away from the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, he finally understood why the Ross army fled in embarrassment on the Yongzhou battlefield.

“Wars are always like this.” Ivan said to Ulanba at this time.

In fact, even if the artillery ranges of the two sides are similar, they have to bear the shelling of the other side.

The only difference is that now they are suffering the casualties alone, and the latter will have casualties for each other.

But their advantage is that, relying on the Khan Court, they have more manpower and material resources.

At present, in order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, some Beidi herdsmen have been asked to enter the trenches.

There will be a herdsman on each side of each soldier, acting as a meat shield for Beidi soldiers.

For them, as long as they lose, these old, weak, sick and disabled will either be killed by Dasong soldiers, or become prisoners of Dasong people.

Instead of this, it is better to be a human shield on the battlefield to resist shelling.

It is even possible to directly use its corpse as a sandbag and as a cover.

“En.” Ulanba nodded, pursing his lips tightly.

The purpose of the Dasong army to kill and injure their soldiers in large numbers through shelling must be discounted after all.

This is his determination. In this war, he will use all means.

“Boom boom boom…” The shelling continued.

It’s just that the two ignored it and returned to their tents.

at the same time.

In the central military camp, Chang Wei, Bai Shang and other generals are discussing the details of the night attack.

Originally, he launched a night attack three days after he planned to bombard.

But in the past few days, the cavalrymen who were searching for other king’s tents on the grassland suddenly captured the Beidi herdsmen of Dasong.

So Chang Wei had an idea and ordered the Lancers to keep only the cattle and sheep, but put the Beidi herdsmen into the Khan Court.

As for the bombardment, they will continue, but for a longer period of time.

This has his own purpose.

Arranging the direction of attack for Bai Shang and the three, Chang Wei picked up the binoculars and observed the battlefield for a while.

In the binoculars, there is only the picture of the shells kicking up dust on the trench, and the rest is very peaceful.

“Bei Di must be very uncomfortable with this shelling.” Bai Shang laughed at this moment. “In Yongzhou, facing the shelling, Mu Lehong really dared to charge the cavalry. Now they can only shrink back.”

“That’s right. Knowing how powerful the machine guns and Lancers are, they know they can’t do anything.” Chen Hu pinched his waist.

None of them were nervous about the war.

Because, they knew that this was nothing more than a battle to suppress bandits, and Beidi would not make a big disturbance in Yongzhou, nor would it cause trouble in Khan Court.

The only thing they need to do is take Khan Court down with as few casualties as possible.

“However, these bastards are ruthless to me. They drove many people into the trenches. I’m afraid they are used as human shields.” Lu Chang snorted at this moment.

The movements of the Beidi people were clear to them, and they naturally saw the picture of the Beidi people being driven into the trenches.

“The madness before death.” Chang Wei snorted coldly.

By doing this, Ulanba can certainly reduce the casualties of his own soldiers, but Beidi soldiers are also the sons of Beidi people.

They are vicious to Dasong people, but they love and protect their relatives very well.

I’m afraid that some general Beidi will feel cold-hearted.

Even intimidated by Ulan Ba’s authority, they kept silent.

But if the battle is unfavorable, they must be the first to lose the will to fight.

While everyone was chatting, the sun rose step by step.

At noon, the shelling stopped, and the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield was suddenly replaced by the rich aroma of rice.

Each army began to eat alternately.

In addition to steamed buns, these rich rice aromas are also canned food.

The cooks in the army took apart the cans and poured them into a cauldron to heat them.

The smell of braised horse meat suddenly wafted far away.

In addition, there are canned potatoes, canned yellow peaches and so on.

The soldiers of the Central Army ate hot steamed buns and delicious dishes, and they ate deliciously one by one.

It is these rich supplies that allow them to maintain ample physical strength until now.

The rich aroma of these meals floated to the trenches of Beidi people, and many Beidi soldiers immediately swallowed their saliva.

In fact, in the month since the Dasong Lancers besieged Khan Court, their situation has become increasingly difficult.

Especially a few days ago, the Dasong Lancers only took the cattle and sheep, but let the herdsmen in.

This caused Khanting’s supplies to be consumed at an alarming rate, and their food was getting worse day by day.

So, suddenly smelling such an alluring fragrance, they couldn’t control their saliva at all.
