Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 410

[Chapter 410 Incompetent Fury]

Yongzhou.

On the north bank of the Jin River.

Beidi soldiers are crossing the river. They are not using boats or rafts, but a special kind of river crossing device – sheepskin rafts.

After ordering Xiliang to send the third prince back, they started making sheepskin rafts.

The purpose is to cross the Jinhe River from the Hetao Plain and go down to attack the Dasong Northern Expeditionary Army by surprise.

They don’t build warships because they are worried that their plan to go south will be discovered by Da Song’s eyeliner.

The raft is not used temporarily because the raft cannot carry heavy things, such as artillery.

But the sheepskin raft is not easy to be found by the enemy, but also can carry heavy loads.

This kind of raft has existed in ancient times, and the manufacturing process requires high slaughtering skills.

The whole piece of sheepskin must be cut perfectly without any damage.

Afterwards, the sheepskin is depilated, blown to make the skin swell, and then a small amount of clear oil, salt and water are poured into it, the head, tail and limbs of the skin are tied tightly, and dried for a period of time.

Finally, the wood is trapped on the sheepskin tire with hemp rope.

Previously, the Jinhe River was guarded by the Majia Navy, and this kind of raft against warships was tantamount to courting death.

But now, they don’t have to worry about anything, just cross the river.

But even so, it was still difficult for them to cross the Jin River, which was three or four miles wide and turbulent.

And this is the narrowest part of the Jin River in the Yongzhou section.

At present, they have a hundred sheepskin rafts.

The smallest sheepskin raft consists of forty sheepskins and can carry twenty people at a time.

The largest sheepskin raft has 600 sheepskins, which can carry 200 people at a time, or 6 artillery pieces, or 80 war horses, about 30,000 catties.

However, at most it is a medium-sized sheepskin raft composed of a hundred sheepskins.

Even so, in order to make these sheepskin rafts, they deliberately slaughtered 80,000 to 90,000 sheep.

After all, usually the grassland would not be so completely skinned.

But even so, nearly half of the 70,000 to 90,000 sheep failed to be cut.

That’s why they ended up with only a hundred or so sheepskin rafts.

If there were more, the grassland would not be able to bear it.

After all, cattle and sheep are the precious property of grassland people.

“Plop!” Suddenly, there was a loud noise of heavy objects falling into the water on the busy river.

The Iron Wood Tower has been supervising the soldiers crossing the river.

He turned his head and saw a sheepskin raft consisting of 300 sheepskins scattered.

The sheepskins flowed in the muddy river.

He remembered that the sheepskin raft had a cannon and fifty soldiers on it.

“Damn it!” Tiemuta yelled, “Kill all the slaves who checked this sheepskin raft.”

In order to ensure the safety of the artillery, the sheepskin raft must be checked every time it returns from crossing the river, and it will continue to carry things if there is no problem.

Now that a cannon fell into the Jin River, the sheepskin raft was broken, and fifty soldiers were swallowed by the river, his heart was bleeding.

Even if all the sheepskin rafts are busy, fewer than 20,000 Beidi soldiers can reach the opposite side every day.

The sheepskin raft was damaged, and their speed of passing troops had to be slowed down, not to mention they still had a lot of luggage.

Any delay will affect their plan to encircle the Great Song Northern Expedition with Xiliang.

After receiving his order, some generals galloped away, and after a while, there were several screams.

Tiemuta was still angry, when a cavalryman came to him, “Tiemuta, Your Majesty, the Khan has summoned you.”

Nodding, Tiemuta turned around and came to the golden tent by the river bank.

“How many soldiers have you passed now?” Mu Lehong leaned back on the chair with a lazy expression.

“Returning to Khan, since the last time someone from Xiancheng came to inquire, 30,000 soldiers, 80 cannons, and 3,000 horses have passed. Now there are 130,000 soldiers, 50,000 horses, and 196 horses on the south bank. Artillery.” Tiemu Tower said.

Mu Lehong really frowned.

The Beidi army that crossed the south of the river to Weicheng totaled 300,000.

So barely, it’s only less than half of it.

He said: “It’s too slow. From now on, we can cross the river day and night, and the sheepskin raft can carry as many people as it can, as long as it doesn’t sink into the bottom.”

“It’s just that, I’m afraid many soldiers will drown. “Tiemu Tower was a little worried.

“How can there be a woman’s benevolence in marching and fighting? If you can wipe out the Dasong Northern Expedition in one fell swoop this time, it will be nothing if you drown a few people.” Mu Lehong said angrily.

“Yes, Father Khan!” Tie Muta lowered his head for training.

Changing to a half-lying position, he said again: “You immediately send someone to tell Ulan Ba that he can lead the Koli Navy to the south, and then I want to see whether he, the King of Yan, saved Yanzhou or saved him. Father.”

It will take about ten days to rush from here to Korea without stopping.

At that time, most of Beidi’s soldiers and horses had almost crossed the river.

This battle can really begin, and they will destroy the Northern Expeditionary Army in the west.

Ulan Ba wiped out King Yan in the east!

Then, he ordered a king’s tent at the foot of Yin Mountain to set off, bypassing Xiliang and leaving Xiaoguan.

In this way, the north-south attack will become a trend.

“Emperor Dasong, let us see whose sword is sharper this time.” Mu Lehong looked to the south and sneered again and again.

…

Yanshan North.

Enke fled for a day and a night, and returned to the grassland where the Black Iron King’s Tent was located.

At this time, there were only 3,000 people left around him, and the remaining soldiers and horses either died, fled, or failed to keep up.

“what……”

Looking back at Yanshan Road, Enke clenched his fists with all his strength and let out a shrill cry.

At this moment, he finally understood that his father was not not brave, but just like the fiasco he suffered at Qingfengkou, he was just unwilling to be defeated by King Yan.

For every Beidi people, Beidi people are wolves, while Dasong people are sheep.

Beidi has always been contemptuous of Dasong, and regards Dasong as just a piece of fat that will be swallowed in his mouth sooner or later.

But now, under the command of King Yan, they defeated this flock of sheep.

A wolf was defeated by a sheep, even the words “shame and shame” cannot describe his current mood.

“My lord, what should we do now!” Gordan and the other two wolf masters turned their attention to Enke.

They had never seen the look of panic on Enke’s face, but this time they did.

“Invading Yan County is a death order given to us by Khan. Even if there is only one person left in the Black Iron King’s Tent, we must continue to the end.” Enke’s eyes suddenly became firm again.

After a pause, he continued: “Even if we can’t invade Yan County, even if we pay for our lives, we must continue to kill the soldiers of the King of Yan. The King of Yan only has 120,000 soldiers. If you die, there will be fewer. King Lamba has a better chance of winning.”

“Yes, King!” Gordan and others said.

Enke nodded, “I’ll give you three days to rest. After three days, attack Qingfengkou again.”

Everyone agreed.

Gordan and others escorted Enke back to the king’s tent, and then they divided into several groups and went back to their own tribes to rest. Gordan led his own tribe’s 500 cavalry directly to his own tribe.

Gradually entering the depths of the grassland, when he passed a small tribal pasture, he suddenly saw a faint blue smoke floating not far away, feeling a little strange in his heart, and said, “You guys go over and have a look.”

The three cavalrymen went away in response, and after a while, the three cavalrymen returned in horror, and one cavalryman said: “Master Langlu, the people of the Keqin tribe are all dead, their cattle and sheep are gone, and all the camps have been burned!”

” What!” Gordan was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately rode his horse towards the Keqin tribe.

When he got close, he saw a terrifying scene that he had never seen in his life. At this moment, all the tents of the Keqin tribe were burned, and charred bodies could be clearly seen in the black ashes.

“Who did this! Who did this.” Goerdan yelled like a madman.

He is not unfamiliar with this kind of scene. During autumn hunting, they often kill all the villagers in the village of Yan County, and then burn their huts to the ground.

Every time they do this, they feel that the blood in their bodies is burning, and the wildness in their hearts is boiling.

But now, what they saw was the Beidi people of their own tribe, and they suddenly felt as if they had fallen into a thousand-year-old cold pool.

“Meet our tribe immediately.” Gordan vented for a while, and suddenly thought of something, the hairs on his body stood up.

He was about to lead the troops to continue northward when he suddenly saw Wolf Lumidai galloping towards them with the cavalry of the tribe.

Midai’s eyes were scarlet, and he came to Gordan and said to him: “Gordan, my tribe is finished, my wives are all dead! Our Black Iron King’s tent is finished.”

Gordan was ashamed Bash.

He felt as if his body had been petrified, and a bad premonition swept through his mind.
