Steel Dynasty - Chapter 774

[Chapter 773 Hunting]

Gunpowder and gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield.

Being besieged by an enemy six times his own size, Hakata could no longer hold on any longer, and the cavalry began to retreat steadily.

This time, he was completely behind the Chongqing army in terms of numbers and weapons. Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, he became more and more desperate.

When the main gate was breached, the other three gates of Yazhou City were also breached one after another. The cavalry and musketeers swarmed in along the gate, constantly compressing the barbarian cavalry line.

From the morning fighting to noon, Hakata’s men and horses became less and less, and finally only a few hundred horsemen were left besieged in the center of the city.

At this time, they were pointed at by the musketeers. As long as they gave an order, they would die immediately.

Sixty thousand people versus ten thousand people, this was a war without any surprises. Luo Quan, Lu Fei and Qi Guangyi appeared outside the encirclement at this time.

Luo Quan recognized Bodo at a glance.

“I haven’t seen Bodo for a long time. I didn’t expect that we would meet here today.” Luo Quan said with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.

He often fought against Bodo on the grassland.

Bodo heard the sound and looked at Luo Quan. His pupils dilated and returned to normal. He said to Luo Quan: “It’s you.”

Luo Quan snorted coldly, “It’s me! I’m sure you won’t be so fast this time.” Just leave Bashu, you are still the same greedy Bodo, you haven’t changed at all.”

Bodo’s eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: “I didn’t expect that one day I would be defeated by you.”

“You are not. The defeat was in my hands, but in the hands of the soldiers of Dayu. The era when the barbarians could run amok has passed,” Luo Quan said calmly.

Bodo suddenly laughed, “Luo Quan, you said this too early. Do you really think that the Chongqing Kingdom can defeat the Golden Horde with firearms? Don’t forget, the Golden Horde spans the entire Silk Road, we are far less wealthy than you think.”

“Gold can’t be used as food,” Luo Quan said sarcastically.

“But it can be traded.” Bodo smiled evilly.

Seeing this, Lu Fei said angrily: “You will soon know that what you owe to the country of Chongqing will be paid back immediately.”

Bodo looked at Lu Fei and said meaningfully: “At that time, both sides suffered losses, and you, Chongqing, The country will also be unable to protect itself.”

After saying that, he stopped talking.

Lu Fei snorted coldly, “I’m afraid you won’t see that day.”

After that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers were ordered to open fire on Bodo and the remaining cavalry. After a burst of gunfire, all the remaining barbarian cavalry fell. Under bullet.

The hatred in the hearts of the soldiers had not yet melted away. They rushed forward, picked up their bayonets, and stabbed Bodo’s body repeatedly.

Luo Quan and the other three watched this scene quietly. On their way here, they passed dozens of villages, and these villages were undoubtedly the exceptions to the looting by the barbarians.

The village was burned down, and the villagers who had no time to escape were massacred. From Songzhou to Yazhou, the soldiers witnessed too many tragedies.

Now there is always a fire in their hearts. It is this butcher who ordered the massacre of the people of Great Chongqing. How can they not hate it in their hearts.

After annihilating Bodo and the cavalry he led, Luo Quan and Lu Fei did not relax because there were still 50,000 barbarian cavalry and nearly 60,000 barbarian slave soldiers coming towards Yazhou.

They immediately began to repair the city wall, and based on the news from the scouts, they set up an ambush outside the city overnight.

At the same time, in order to disrupt the morale of the barbarian cavalry, Luo Quan ordered Bodo’s head to be cut off and hung on the city wall. The barbarian cavalry might resist when they see Bodo dead, but the barbarian slave soldiers will definitely collapse quickly when they see this.

…

Yizhou.

Not even an hour after the barbarian slave soldiers evacuated, a hunting cavalry entered the city.

“What, Lu Fei and General Luo Quan have captured Songzhou City!” Di Ying was overjoyed.

The third prince also had a smile on his face. They had been on tenterhooks every day these days, and now that the army was rushing to help, the crisis would surely be resolved soon.

“It’s just a pain for the people of Bashu. This time it must be very miserable for the barbarians.” Xiao Zhen sighed sadly.

He is responsible for the government affairs of Yizhou Prefecture, and now he has a strong affection for this place. First it was King Zhao, and now it is the barbarians. Why is this land of abundance so difficult?

Di Ying now has no time to be pitiful with the third prince. If the barbarians in Bashu are not eliminated, the people here will continue to suffer.

He said to the deputy general: “Gather your troops immediately and leave five thousand people to defend the city. The rest follow me to Yazhou, and together with General Luo Quan, we will kill all the barbarians.”

“Yes!” the deputy general shouted, they are really useless these days. Trapped in Yizhou City by the barbarian slave soldiers, now he finally had a chance to vent his anger.

After gathering the troops, Di Ying set out immediately. Luo Quan’s order was for them to attack the slave soldiers from both front and rear.

After two days of trekking, seeing that Yazhou City still had half a day to arrive, Di Ying suddenly discovered a large number of barbarian slave soldiers fleeing in their direction.

He looked carefully and saw Qi Guangyizheng leading the cuirassiers to drive away these slave soldiers like ducks.

Seeing this, he grinned and immediately ordered his soldiers to cooperate with the cuirassiers to round up the slave soldiers.

Qi Guangyi also discovered Di Ying’s army at this time. He rode up and said sternly: “Di Ying, quickly seize these defeated troops. Now you still have a chance to atone for your sins. Otherwise, you will return to Qingzhou, you kid.” Just prepare to take off this military uniform.”

Di Ying’s face darkened, and he sighed and said, “Thank you, but I believe that the emperor has his own decree.”

After saying that, he led his soldiers to immediately surround these slave soldiers.

With Di Ying, Qi Guangyi no longer focused on the slave soldiers. Just as Luo Quan thought, the will of the slave soldiers was already weak. Now that Bodo is dead, they immediately collapsed.

However, in order to prevent these broken soldiers from causing chaos, they had to arrest all these slave soldiers.

Escaped from the task of capturing slave soldiers, Qi Guangyi led the cavalry towards Songzhou City.

Before Di Ying arrived, two teams of ten thousand people had arrived. When they saw Bodo’s head hanging at the city gate, these barbarian cavalry were briefly confused.

But at the same time, they also fell into the trap set by Luo Quan. Qi Guangyi, who was ambushing outside, led the cavalry to attack the barbarian cavalry. The musketeers in the city cooperated with them and made dumplings for 20,000 people.

The battle went smoothly because the horses of these barbarian cavalry were hung with looted things, which now became their burden.

The cattle and sheep they were driving now also became a roadblock for them.

After Bodo’s death and being flanked from both sides, the barbarian cavalry lost their morale and had no intention of fighting, causing chaos.

After half a day of fierce fighting, the barbarian cavalry suffered 8,000 casualties and 12,000 prisoners. At this time, they learned that another three 10,000-man troops had arrived directly at the foot of Songzhou City.

Now Qi Guangyi is preparing to rush to Songzhou City to encircle and suppress this group of barbarian cavalry.
