Steel Dynasty - Chapter 821

[Chapter 820: Taking charge of Kanto]

Lei Ming is observing Yingzhou through the telescope.

After arriving at Yingzhou City, he did not rush to order an attack. Instead, he asked the soldiers to set up camp around Yingzhou City and rest for one night before attacking the city.

The hunting cavalry who arrived outside Yingzhou City in advance yesterday killed a group of barbarian cavalry heading to Yingzhou. These cavalry were the ones who were ordered by Yutian Khan Dorgo to come to Yingzhou to deliver orders.

After learning the news, he naturally had no need to rush to attack, but let the tired soldiers rest before making plans.

Compared with the six barbarian cities in Guandong, Yingzhou City is the smallest among them. Only more than 30,000 people can live in the city, and the four walls are not stone walls, but earth walls.

Such a city is too weak for Lei Ming, and it only takes half a day to capture it.

However, this time Niu Ben asked him to attack Yingzhou obviously not only for Yingzhou, but also his task was to cooperate with Ye Qingyun to form a high-pressure situation against Goryeo.

Because Dayu will take action against Goryeo next.

After a night’s rest, Lei Ming launched an attack as planned the next day. Under the artillery of Dayu, the walls of Yingzhou City were simply vulnerable.

In the flying dust, the mud walls collapsed in pieces. After just a short period of shelling, huge gaps appeared in the four walls of Yingzhou City.

At this time, the five thousand barbarian soldiers in Yingzhou City were desperate. Facing Dayu’s superior firearms and tens of thousands of people, they had no chance of winning, but they still did not choose to surrender.

“Blow the charge horn.”

Lei Ming lost patience. They would no longer tolerate the barbarians. At this time, tens of thousands of musketeers roared and rushed towards Yingzhou City.

For the soldiers, this was a battle of merit. They could easily seize the city without having to fight hard.

An hour later, the dragon flag of Dayu was raised in the city. Looking at the flying flag, a smile appeared on Lei Ming’s lips. The days when Dayu was bullied were gone forever.

At the same time, the army led by Lu Fei was on its way to Jianzhou. Compared with Raozhou and Yingzhou, Jianzhou was far away.

But this did not affect the soldiers’ enthusiasm. Two days later, on June 7, the army arrived in Jianzhou.

Although it has entered summer, the weather in Jianzhou is still very cool in the morning. Facing this northernmost city in the Chongqing Kingdom, Lu Fei’s eyes flashed with nostalgia.

In the history of Dayu, the farthest sphere of influence extended to Jianzhou, and now he has returned with the army of Dayu.

“Commander, we are a step too late. Jianzhou is already an empty city.”

Before arriving at Jianzhou City, Lu Fei saw the gate of Jianzhou City wide open. He was confused and sent soldiers into the city to investigate.

“Damn it, I still want to fight hard.” Lu Fei said a little depressed.

Compared with Yingzhou, Jianzhou is only slightly larger, and because of its remote location, it is sparsely populated, and there are not many barbarians in Jianzhou City.

On the way here, he had already thought about how to capture the city quickly, but now all his plans were ruined.

“Enter the city.”

Lu Fei ordered with a slight snort. Even if the barbarians ran away, they still had a lot of things to do. This Jianzhou City was the bridgehead in the north of Dayu. After the war, the people from Guandong would migrate here.

Moreover, he also wanted to leave some soldiers stationed in Jianzhou City to guard against barbarian attacks.

Just as the soldiers said, there is no one in Jianzhou City now. Slaves who died miserably on the streets can occasionally be seen. The whole city is like a ghost town.

Let the soldiers find the location of the Jinzhou City military camp, and Lu Fei immediately ordered the hunting cavalry to spread the news of the capture of Jianzhou City back to Jinzhou.

Four days later, the news about Lu Fei reached Niu Ben. Niu Ben had been waiting for this information for three days.

Because Luo Xin and Lei Ming had already sent back the battle report three days ago.

“This war is basically over.”

Luo Quan, a member of the staff, glanced at the six cities in Kanto. Now they have completely occupied the Kanto region. The barbarians were driven to the grasslands by them, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Niu Ben put down Lu Fei’s battle report and smiled, “The Great Yu Kingdom has finally restored its largest territory, and the emperor is really Han Wu.”

Luo Quan nodded lightly, and the Great Yu Kingdom that was almost destroyed came to Xiao Ming He was brought back to life by his own hands, and now he has driven the Golden Horde in the north back to the grassland. Such great achievements have not been achieved even by the great ancestor Xiao Yuanzhi.

“You are right. Our emperor is really a rejuvenating king. But depending on the emperor’s intentions, the Great Yu Kingdom will continue to expand its territory.” Luo Quan said excitedly.

Niu Ben was also looking forward to it, “No one knows how much foundation the emperor can lay for the Great Yu Kingdom.”

After a pause, he said: “By the way, this news must be sent to Qingzhou as soon as possible. Although the barbarians have moved westward, some Xiao Xiao still needs to clean up.”

“Are you talking about Japan?” Luo Xin asked.

Niu Ben nodded, “Ye Qingyun transferred an interpreter from Haigu City. After being tortured, these five Japanese people said everything. They were envoys sent by the Japanese Kingdom to Jinzhou with the purpose of forming an alliance with the barbarians. East and West They jointly attacked our Northern Expedition army. Unfortunately, they arrived a little late. The barbarians were defeated as soon as they arrived. “

Humph, a small country wants to covet the territory of my country. It’s just looking for death.” Luo Quan was angry. Hum.

Now, although he and Niu Ben are not arrogant, they are very confident. The army of Chongqing is no longer the old, weak, sick and disabled it used to be.

For the two men, they are not afraid to fight any army.

Having said this, Niu Ben stopped talking and sent someone to send the battle report to Qingzhou, and then he and Luo Quan studied the map.

There are currently two armies located on the border of Goryeo. One is Ye Qingyun’s army in Liaozhou, and the other is Lei Ming’s army in Yingzhou.

The two armies combined have more than 70,000 musketeers and more than 40,000 cavalry. If they want to attack Goryeo, they can attack Goryeo at any time.

…

Ryugyong City.

The Golden Horde lost Jinzhou and Yingzhou one after another. The news of Raozhou has reached here through merchants.

For a time, the court of Goryeo was shaken, and all the officials and military officers were panicked.

In the palace at this time, the King of Korea was holding a sword and his body was covered in blood. Lying on the ground was the princess who had an affair with Beishan.

“Don’t you like this thief Beishan? Go to the underworld and have a private meeting with him! Bitch, bitch!” The King of Koryo’s face was distorted. Every time he shouted, the King of Koryo would pierce the Princess of Koryo’s body with his sword.

The rich smell of blood in the entire dormitory made the maids and eunuchs dare not take a breath.

When the King of Goryeo was acting like a madman, a group of officials appeared at the door of the palace. Huang Zixiu, who was in charge of political affairs, said loudly: “Your Majesty, all the ministers are here.”
