Steel Dynasty - Chapter 815

[Chapter 814 Internal strife]

The flickering fire in the treasury made the figures of the generals flicker.

After seeing clearly the reserves accumulated in the treasury, Lu Fei said: “General Niu originally asked us to wait for food and grass before attacking Yingzhou, but now it seems that it is not necessary. With the food and grass left by the barbarians, we can rest for a few days. Send troops to Yingzhou to completely cut off the communication between the barbarians and Goryeo.”

Lei Ming said: “You are right, I will send people to Shanhaiguan to deliver the message.”

“No need!”

His voice was slightly hoarse. The voice rang outside, and then Niu ran to Jinzhou City surrounded by guards.

“General.”

All the generals bowed and saluted when they saw Niu Ben.

This time the Northern Expedition was led by Xiao Ming, and Niu Ben was the leading general of the legion, so he was still a step above him in terms of position.

Niu Ben’s eyes swept over the generals and said: “You did a good job this time. It only took one day to knock down Jinzhou City. This is really beyond my expectation.”

“General, This is all due to the new artillery shells, mines and sharpshooters. Without these, we would have to pay tens of thousands of casualties to capture Jinzhou City,” Lu Fei said seriously.

Niu Ben nodded. He had seen the power of these shells when he was at Shanhaiguan. Because of this, he went to Jinzhou City in advance, but obviously the speed of attacking the city was faster than he thought.

“Hahaha, you don’t have to be humble. The emperor said that it is the soldiers who decide the use of weapons. This shows that you have trained your soldiers well.”

After saying that, Niu Ben glanced at the piled grain and grass. The warehouse was full of food and supplies. He went on to say: “Since you don’t have to worry about food and grass now, I will give you a new order.”

“Yes, General.” The generals said excitedly. This momentum of rapid progress made each of them All devoted themselves enthusiastically to the war.

After checking the supplies in the warehouse with the generals, Niu Ben and everyone returned to the camp. He then said: “The battle at Jinzhou City has just stopped. I will give you three days to rest. After that, Commander Lei Ming marched to the camp with 30,000 steps.” Set off from Zhouzhou and take Yingzhou together with Ye Qingyun.”

After a pause, Niu Ben continued: “Luo Xin, you lead 40,000 musketeers and 30,000 cavalry to Raozhou City, Lu Fei, the northernmost Jianzhou. I’ll leave the city to you.”

“Yes, General, I always like to chew hard bones.” Lu Fei laughed.

Among the three cities, Jianzhou is undoubtedly the most difficult to attack. Unlike Raozhou and Yingzhou, Jianzhou is located in an extreme place. This place is very cold even in spring.

According to the map provided by Xiao Ming, the Siberian Snowfield is marked 1,600 miles north of Jianzhou. Attacking this city requires not only trekking a long distance, but also defending against the cold winter.

This is one of the reasons why the Military Aircraft Department decided to launch the Northern Expedition in the spring. It is now June. If it continues to be delayed until winter, their soldiers will not be able to adapt to the severe cold climate.

After all, most of their soldiers came from south of the Great Wall.

After deciding on the next strategy, a group of generals began to prepare for the war. Niu Ben was now responsible for the household registration affairs of Jinzhou City.

The emperor attaches great importance to the lands outside the Guan and the people of Guandong who have regained their freedom.

These soldiers living in a bitter cold land have adapted to the climate here and are very suitable for fighting on this land.

Although they conquered the barbarian cities one after another in a short period of time, they are still unable to completely encircle and suppress the barbarian grassland power. Now they need soldiers to protect the six cities outside the pass.

Obviously, the Kanto people are the best suited to play this role.

And they have a more ambitious plan, which is to turn Siberia in the far north into the land of Great Chongqing, but before that, they still have a lot to do.

The next day, the Dayu cavalry, which had been chasing the barbarian cavalry for a day, returned to Jinzhou City under the command of Qi Guangyi.

Seeing Beishan’s body, huge cheers resounded in Jinzhou City. The three most capable Taijiju under the command of the Barbarian Tian Khan were all killed. This alone was enough to make the Barbarians shake their muscles and bones.

…

Shengdu, the once peaceful and prosperous Golden Tent has become no longer peaceful.

The news of the fall of Pingzhou caused shock here and the aftermath has not dissipated. The fall of Jinzhou City was like a bolt from the blue, dealing a heavy blow to the leaders of the grassland tribes.

“I will no longer waste the lives of tribal warriors to stay in the city and fight against the Great Chongqing Kingdom. This is simply too stupid.”

The golden tent was filled with banner heads from the grassland tribes. This was different from the previous enfeoffment of the Great Chongqing land. There was a festive atmosphere, and now the faces of every flag leader were very solemn.

“Beishan, Bodo, and Wushu Gu, they destroyed everything in the Golden Horde. Now less than 30% of the cavalry of our tribe have returned. If we continue to fight like this, only women and children will be left in the tribe. This war cannot be repeated. The fight is over.”

“We can’t fight on anymore. Dayu has occupied Jinzhou. How can we fight?”

“…”

The banner leaders in the golden tent were quarreling.

Dorgo was sitting on the Khan’s seat, and he punched his fist down hard. “You only lost soldiers. Now my three beloved sons are dead. Are you satisfied with this?”

The news of death that came one after another almost made people sad. Dorgo went crazy. Those were his sons. Although he was very harsh on them on weekdays, this was completely a father’s encouragement to his sons.

But now, everything is a thing of the past.

There was deep hatred hidden in his eyes, and a voice shouted in his heart, “Revenge!”

But this hatred gradually subsided in the cowardly words of the flag leaders, revenge? Does he still have the ability to take revenge now?

“Shut up, everyone.” Dorgo yelled.

The banner leader was shocked by Dorgo’s voice and everyone fell silent.

At this time, Dorgo said: “We can’t just give up. Once we leave here, I’m afraid we won’t be able to come back.”

As soon as his voice fell, a strong tribal flag leader stood up and looked directly at Dorgo’s head. Eyes, “Continue? Dorgo, aren’t you ashamed? It was you who brought the Golden Horde to destruction. My tribe will no longer obey your orders, and you no longer deserve to be called the Sky Khan.”

“Gertu is right. We will no longer send soldiers to follow you to die. The soldiers are frightened. They would rather die on the grassland than in the cold city. There are still large areas in our grassland and the Western Regions.

“

Territory, these territories combined are larger than the Great Yu Kingdom, this is the place we should defend. “A banner leader followed.

Dorgo looked at Geertu. He was the leader of the Grassland Goshawk Tribe and the only large tribe that could stand side by side with the Blood Wolf Tribe. Ever since the Blood Wolf Tribe suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jizhou, Geertu had always been unruly. Untamed, after the Blood Wolf Tribe suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jizhou, he became more and more arrogant, vaguely not taking him seriously as the Heavenly Khan.
