Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 954

[Chapter 954 Iron Horse Glacier]

Yong City.

The three of Mule and Hongzhen were rejoicing because of the colder weather.

Ma Han and Chen Hu were also looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky.

At this moment, the two are in Yongcheng.

Originally, Yongzhou and Qinzhou were the defense areas of the White Tiger Army.

Now in order to deal with Beidi, the Lancers led by Chen Hu were also dispatched here.

If a section of the Jin River in the Hetao Plain freezes on a large scale.

In order to deal with it across the board, the Xuanwu Army based on the Ningjin Army will support 60,000 people to Yongzhou.

At the same time, the Central Army based on the royal army will also support Yongzhou.

Because the railway has been extended to the Jin River on the east bank of Yongzhou.

They will support Yongzhou very quickly.

“If this continues, we must ask for support from the Xuanwu Army and the Central Army.” Ma Han said to Chen Hu in the Yongcheng Mansion.

They were prepared in the narrow section of the Jin River.

But if the weather continues to be cold, I am afraid that the wider river will also freeze.

In this way, when encountering obstacles in the narrow river section, Beidi will definitely choose to pass through the spacious river section.

“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Chen Hu’s eyes lit up, “The Beidi cavalry is no match for the Lancers now. This time I want to let the Beidi people understand that their cavalry is useless.”

Ma Han smiled.

He knew very well that Chen Hu was not bragging.

Cavalry with carbine is simply the nemesis of traditional cavalry.

The Lancers could use the range of their carbine to attack beyond the range of the Beidi cavalry’s bow and arrow.

The other party only has to be kited.

However, in his opinion, it is better to be more cautious because the Beidi cavalry is coming aggressively this time.

He promised Chang Wei that he would never let Beidi soldiers cross Yongzhou, and only controlled the battlefield in the northern part of Yongzhou.

Because the northern part of Yongzhou is very desolate and almost uninhabited.

But to the south, more people settled down.

In addition, there are many plantations developed by the Royal Pioneering Corps.

There are also hard-working workshops in various counties and counties.

So he said, “I don’t want to be scolded by General Chang and His Royal Highness King Yan, when something goes wrong, not to mention I’m sorry for the people, I can’t keep this military cap.”

Chen Hu chuckled twice , he is just like a child who got a new toy, wanting to show it off in front of Beidi people.

But when it came to the war itself, he didn’t dare to mess around.

Most importantly, after this period of investigation, they found out Beidi’s true intentions.

Songyangguan, Xiaoguan, and Ningjindusi are nothing but smoke bombs.

The real danger lies on the other side of the Loop.

Some time ago, when the weather wasn’t too cold, Chang Wei’s plan for them was to defend the narrow river section.

But now that the weather has changed drastically, we have to adapt to the situation and request the implementation of the second plan.

That is to request the support of the Xuanwu Army and the Central Army.

“Then send a telegram to Yancheng.” Chen Hu put away his smiling face and said seriously.

Mahan nodded, turned and went back to the house.

The cable telegraph battle in the Yamen of Yongzhou Prefecture.

Through the telegraph station, they can communicate with Yancheng at any time.

…

Yancheng.

Mahan’s telegram was sent out, and the military department of Wuji Palace received it.

The telegraph operator translated Mahan’s request.

Yang Feng left for the palace.

Obviously, this heavy snow spread to the north at almost the same time.

Chang Wei has already set off for Yongzhou.

He must report to King Yan immediately so that King Yan can make strategic adjustments.

“My king guesses that we have to send more troops to Yongzhou.” Zhao Xu glanced at the telegram and said, “You immediately requisition steam locomotives and send troops to Yongzhou.”

One of the reasons why Chang Wei kept calm before was, It is because of the railway that the north has been able to quickly deploy troops.

Therefore, there is no need to place the army in Yongzhou in advance, which will only increase consumption.

If there is an emergency, they can definitely let the Xuanwu army arrive in Yongzhou within three days.

It only takes two days for the Central Army to assemble in Yongzhou.

There is no need to worry about the transportation capacity.

Usually, a steam locomotive normally carries about 1,500 people.

This is a situation where passengers are seated strictly according to their seats.

In wartime, a steam locomotive can carry three times the number of people, and one can carry about 5,000 people.

“Yes, Your Highness, the old minister will go back and make arrangements.” Yang Feng responded and exited the study.

Watching Yang Feng leave, Zhao Xu said to Feng’er, “During this time, you should keep an eye on the telegraph station in front of the palace, and send any news to the study as soon as there is any news. The king will command this war in the study.”

Feng’er Nodding, she said with a smile, “This cable telegram is really good. From now on, His Highness doesn’t need to go to the battlefield, so he can understand the situation on the battlefield and command the battle.”

Like Yang Susu, she and Luan’er naturally don’t want Zhao Xu to be in a dangerous battlefield every now and then. .

But they couldn’t stop it.

Now that there is something that allows King Yan to command across thousands of miles in his study, they are naturally overjoyed.

After all, she happily went to the front yard and greeted the telegraph station.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.

Then, he took out a blueprint and spread it on the table. According to the information provided by the Fourth Court, he marked the strength and deployment direction of Dasong, Beidi, Jiaozhi, Puman, and the Western Land Allied Forces on the blueprint.

This siege is just like the so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body.

If due to this cold wave, the Jin River in the Hetao Plain will freeze earlier and in large areas.

The war is about to start.
