Steel Dynasty - Chapter 798

[Chapter 797 The Power of Victory]

“Woooooooooo…”

On the chaotic battlefield, the barbarians blew the horns to retreat.

The barbarian soldiers who were fighting with the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom no longer wanted to fight, but turned their horses and headed towards Jinzhou City.

For a time, the battlefield was filled with fleeing barbarian cavalry.

Lei Ming was so happy that he immediately led his cavalry in pursuit. Some barbarian cavalry who could not escape were killed by cuirassiers.

It’s just that the barbarian cavalry retreated quickly, and in order to prevent the cavalry from the Great Yu Kingdom from pursuing them, Wu Shugu deliberately left a part of the cavalry behind.

Killed all the barbarian cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear. When Lei Ming looked again, most of the barbarian cavalry had already run a long way away.

“Commander, do you want to continue the pursuit?” asked a cavalry division commander.

“No need. Although Wu Shu Gu has withdrawn, his strength is still there. If we pursue him rashly, we may play into Wu Shu Gu’s hands. Now you go clean the battlefield and count the casualties.” Lei Ming said.

The cavalry division commander took the order and left. At this time Lei Ming went towards the direction of the car formation, and at this time Luo Xin also came out of the car formation.

“Thunder, we won.”

Luo Xin did not yell. His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, but anyone could see from his trembling hands how serious he was now. Excited.

Lei Ming nodded slightly. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said: “Yes, we won. We defeated the barbarians on the grassland. From now on, we will continue to win.”

The two of them looked at Pingzhou City at the same time and looked at each other. At a glance, they headed towards the city.

After several days of fierce fighting, the city on the grassland finally fell into their hands.

Inside the city, Lu Fei was surrounded by cheering soldiers. They fought from the south of the city to the north. Now Pingzhou City is completely under their control.

Looking at the excited soldiers, Lu Fei laughed loudly. Niu Ben gave them three days, and now they only took one day to break through Pingzhou City.

With this city on the grassland, they had a fortress to attack the barbarian hinterland.

However, he did not let the victory go to his head. After breaking the city, he still had many things to do. The barbarians might come back at any time. Now he needed to repair the city wall and build Pingzhou City into a fortress of Dayu.

So he summoned his generals and explained their various tasks before he felt at ease.

At this time, Luo Xin and Lei Ming also arrived in the city. The three of them looked at each other and laughed. These days of fighting together made the three of them more familiar.

“Now I can have a good sleep.” Lu Fei said.

Lei Ming yawned and said, “When you say that, I’m really sleepy. It’s been really hard these days.”

“No matter how hard it is, it’s over. I’ve sent the hunting cavalry to send the battle to Shanhaiguan. I don’t know what the emperor’s next order will be,” Luo Xin said.

Lu Fei looked at the smoke-filled battlefield. At this time, the dim light shrouded the entire battlefield. The smoke, broken flags, wounded soldiers supporting each other, and soldiers cleaning the battlefield formed a tragic post-war scene.

After pondering for a while, he said: “The barbarians suffered heavy losses this time, and our casualties are also not small. The soldiers need time to rest and recuperate. This Jinzhou City is different from Pingzhou City. It will be more difficult to capture it.”

Lei Ming and Luo Xin clicked. Nodding, although the barbarians were defeated this time, they still retained a lot of troops. If these troops were assembled in Jinzhou, it would be a hard battle again.

…

The next day, the hunting cavalry from Pingzhou rushed into Shanhaiguan shouting a great victory in Pingzhou City.

The soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan shouted wildly after receiving the news, and the news quickly reached the ears of Xiao Ming and others.

After receiving the news, Xiao Ming immediately called Niu Ben and Luo Quan over.

The three people planted the dragon flag of the Great Yu Kingdom on the Pingzhou City on the sand table at the staff headquarters. This will now be the land of the Great Yu Kingdom.

“Something’s wrong. Why did the barbarians send reinforcements to Jinzhou as soon as Luo Hong’s people set out?” Even though he won, Niu Ben was still confused.

Xiao Ming said: “It’s very simple. Qi Guangyi must have done what we want to do. This general has always been highly skilled and bold, which allowed us to recover Pingzhou City two days in advance.”

Niu Ben nodded, and now This is the only possibility.

Luo Quan looked excited. At first, he had pessimistic thoughts about the Northern Expedition, because in his opinion, the military strength of the Chongqing Kingdom was almost the same as that of the barbarians.

Dayu had muskets, but the barbarians had excellent cavalry. It really surprised him that the war was going like this.

“Now that Pingzhou City has been captured, Liaozhou City should also be captured if there is no accident. This Jinzhou City is equal to being attacked from both sides. Your Majesty, do you want to launch an attack on Jinzhou now?” Luo Quan asked.

After thinking for a while, he said: “Stop the attack for the time being. Once the barbarians are defeated this time, their morale will inevitably disappear and they will not be as rampant as before. Moreover, although we won, according to the hunting cavalry, Lu Fei and the others also suffered a lot.” “The most important thing is that Liaozhou and Hepingzhou are not stable enough. Don’t forget the barbarians in this city. They will seize every opportunity to cause chaos.”

“What the emperor said is that continuous fighting will make the soldiers dissatisfied, so it is better to let Lu.” Let Fei and the others rest in Pingzhou City for a month before taking action,” Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming also meant the same, and he had another purpose. He said: “I got the news that the military workshop has produced the first batch of sights. I need time to train a group of sharpshooters.”

Luo Quan and Niu Ben Looking at each other, although they still didn’t understand what a sight was, they understood that it would definitely help the war.

The three of them were talking when suddenly a hunting cavalry came outside the door and said loudly: “Your Majesty, Commander Ye Qingyun has sent news that they have successfully captured Liaozhou.”

“Hahaha… Ye Qingyun really didn’t give in. We are disappointed.” Niu Ben picked up the dragon flag and placed it on Liaozhou City.

Xiao Ming showed a smile. Pingzhou City is in the south, Liaozhou City is in the north, and Jinzhou is in the middle. If Jinzhou is captured, half of the Northeast will be under his control.

Looking down at the sand table, Xiao Ming was ambitious. The victory of the war gave him hope of taking back the entire Northeast. For him, this place was the source of the urgent need for slaves.

At the same time, this is also the strong foundation of the Golden Horde. Once lost, the barbarians will lose 90% of their population and become pure nomadic tribes again.

By that time, the barbarians will no longer have enough population to fight a war of attrition with him.

Thinking of this, he said to the hunting cavalry: “Go back and tell Ye Qingyun that the barbarians in Liaozhou City will be kept as long as they are usable, and all the unusable barbarians will be escorted back to Dayu.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The hunting cavalry accepted the order. And go.

At this time, Xiao Ming said: “The war is going well, so I won’t stay here for a long time in Shanhaiguan. I will go to Pingzhou City to express condolences to the soldiers in the past two days and prepare to return to Qingzhou. This time the barbarians are defeated and will inevitably turn to the defensive. After resting, they will attack Jinzhou. If they don’t A breathing space for the barbarians.”
