Steel Dynasty - Chapter 795

[Chapter 794 Pretend to attack Jinzhou]

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the battlefield, and the figures of the returning soldiers are very long in the dim light.

During this period, soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom and barbarian soldiers fought repeatedly here, making this place a veritable meat grinder.

The trenches in front of Pingzhou City have been dyed red with blood. The soil in the trenches is damp and stained with the blood of soldiers from both sides.

In such a back-and-forth war, the morale of the soldiers is extremely important. Now the two sides are competing to see who can’t hold on in the end and the whole line collapses.

In the camp, Lu Fei, Lei Ming and Luo Xin sat down around a low table. Each of them had sloppy beards and their bodies were dirty.

During the several days of fighting, they rarely slept. They either personally led the soldiers to fight against the barbarian cavalry, or they made plans for the left-center battle in the camp. Sometimes they could not sleep until midnight because of different opinions.

“The ones who rushed out today were barbarian soldiers, not barbarian slave soldiers. So there shouldn’t be many soldiers left in the city.” Luo Xin said, looking in the direction of Pingzhou City.

“The trouble is Wu Shugu’s cavalry. Every time we are about to attack, he will lead troops to attack the camp to contain our troops.” Lei Ming frowned, “We can no longer protect the cavalry. Now we must let them work together.” The barbarian cavalry has to fight hard, otherwise the barbarian troops will keep coming, and this place will be a bottomless pit.”

Lu Fei remained silent, Wu Shugu was very cunning, and he used the mobility of the cavalry to not face the enemy directly with the musketeers.

Instead, he always waits for an opportunity to look for chaos in the array and rush over.

“Thirty thousand people are not enough to squeeze the teeth of the Wushu bone cavalry.” Lu Fei glared at Lei Ming and said: “The only one we can count on now is Qi Guangyi. I hope this kid can make some big moves to knock out the barbarian cavalry. It will be difficult to attract him away.”

Luo Xin and Lei Ming looked at each other after hearing this, and Luo Xin said, “Qi Guangyi is brave and resourceful, I hope so.”

In

the Jinzhou camp, Qi Guangyi was formulating a plan.

Simple looting and destruction can no longer meet the effect he needs now, because according to the news he has received, more barbarian troops are still heading towards Pingzhou City, which is simply ignoring his existence.

“Attack Jinzhou!” When Qi Guangyi revealed his plan, all the generals thought he was crazy.

“Commander Qi, we are cavalry, and horses cannot fly up the city wall.” said the commander of a cavalry division.

“Horses can’t fly up, but people can climb up.” Qi Guangyi’s eyes were deep, “There are three thousand musketeers and sixteen artillery pieces in the camp. We only need one thousand musketeers and eight cannons to blast away The city gate of Jinzhou.”

The commander of another cavalry division said: “It’s just that even if we open the city gate, Jinzhou is said to be a huge city with 600,000 barbarians living there, and we can’t capture it just by ourselves.”

“This general did not say that we wanted to capture Jinzhou City. Our purpose is still to rob. Obviously, word of our plunder in Jinzhou has spread. Many barbarians have fled into Jinzhou City, and you have also seen that some villages are already here. With strong walls and clear fields, we will gain nothing in a few days.” Qi Guangyi reminded.

The generals nodded when they heard this. They had indeed gained a lot when they first arrived. Now as time goes by, they have captured fewer and fewer barbarian people.

Now they can only obtain prisoners by fighting with reinforcements, but this will cause heavy casualties.

Looking at the generals, he continued: “And now the barbarians are focused on Pingzhou City. Jinzhou City seems to be strong, but in fact the defense is very weak. Even if we cannot rob more slaves by then, we will still attract The barbarian soldiers in Pingzhou City returned to defense. “

Yes, Commander Qi.”

The generals nodded, and Qi Guangyi’s last words convinced them.

The next day, Qi Guangyi ordered his troops and horses and headed for Jinzhou City. He had seen through the weak nature of Jinzhou. He had no scruples now, not to mention that this move was more of a bluff.

The dispatch of the army immediately attracted the attention of the barbarian scouts, who continued to pass the news to Jinzhou City.

When he learned that the musketeers and artillery of Dayu had appeared near Jinzhou City, the leader of the barbarian bannermen in Jinzhou City was shocked. He immediately sent scouts to Pingzhou City to ask for help.

Because in his opinion, this must be Dayu’s plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west. The real purpose of Dayu is to attack Jinzhou City.

Compared with the nervousness of the barbarians, Qi Guangyi seemed to be at ease. He led the cavalry to assemble outside Jinzhou City, and then asked the artillery to aim the artillery at Jinzhou City.

However, he did not rush to attack the city, but prepared to put on a show for the barbarians. That night, he asked a thousand musketeers to leave during the night, and then return early the next morning to create the illusion of constant reinforcements from musketeers.

Seeing this scene, the banner leader of Jinzhou City was even more frightened, and the cavalry continued to ask for help.

…

Pingzhou City, after a night’s rest, was once again plunged into fighting as usual the next day.

In the morning, Lu Fei received an order from Niu Ben, telling them to capture Pingzhou City within three days.

In the order, Niu Ben mentioned that Luo Hong’s army had rushed to Jinzhou by boat. They would join Qi Guangyi. The Holy Order would ask Qi Guangyi to pretend to attack Jinzhou with them to attract barbarian troops.

“The emperor was cruel this time. He didn’t expect to mobilize half of Luo Hong’s troops.” Lei Ming said excitedly, but they didn’t know that Qi Guangyi had already acted in advance.

The battlefield is now in a state of anxiety, and Luo Hong’s troops will officially break the stalemate once he arrives.

But what surprised them was that less than a day after Niu Ben’s order arrived, 30,000 barbarian cavalry suddenly headed towards Jinzhou, leaving less than 90,000 cavalry in Pingzhou City.

Although I don’t know why, this is definitely good news for Lu Fei and the other three.

Lu Fei immediately ordered a fierce attack on Pingzhou City. Lei Ming personally led the cavalry into battle, while Luo Xin commanded the remaining chariots to form a vehicle formation to protect the flanks of the infantry.

Niu Ben’s order only gave them three days, and now they had to fight hard.

Looking at the sudden formation of the Chongqing army in Pingzhou City, Bei Shan punched the city wall hard.

Best said pessimistically: “The enemy you are facing is excellent in terms of weapons and tactics. This is the right time to attack Jinzhou. If Jinzhou is lost, you will be attacked from both sides.”

“Shut up!” Beishan’s chest felt violently. Ups and downs, Pingzhou City attracted most of the Khanate’s troops, and now they are very tired. Dayu’s attack on Jinzhou at this time is even worse for them.

Best was not intimidated by Beishan. He continued: “Pingzhou City is too small and the city wall is not thick enough. The wise choice now is to retreat to Jinzhou City to rest.”
