Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 960

[Chapter 960 Confrontation]

“Boom boom boom…”

Shells exploded in the Beidi army, bursting into flames, blood, flesh and snow splashing at the same time.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, Beidi soldiers became a mess and fled northward in a swarm.

And the confusion caused the soldiers to huddle together.

A single shell landed in a crowded area, sometimes killing as many as thirty people.

The shelling and chaotic escape lasted nearly half an hour.

The Central Army kept chasing them until they were out of range of the artillery.

When the Beidi soldiers within the range of the artillery became sparse, the shelling stopped.

“Check the casualties!” Mule Hongzhen escaped from the shelling range under the protection of Ba Mudan and other kings.

Looking at the five-mile road full of Beidi soldiers’ corpses, his hand holding the rein kept shaking, and he was extremely angry.

Just now, he was high-spirited and eager to conquer Lingwu County with the will to win.

But now he ran away in a desperate situation.

The huge contrast made him feel that he was severely humiliated by the Dasong army.

Ba Mudan and others were also disheartened.

It can only be said that they were lucky to escape the bombardment range of the artillery alive.

If there were no soldiers to guard them tightly in the middle, they would have been injured if they hadn’t said it.

After receiving Mule Hongzhen’s order, Bamdan and others immediately dispatched the wolves under his command to integrate the army.

Another half an hour later, the wolves returned one after another and reported the number of casualties.

“Khan, three langlu were killed, 73 other generals and more than 3,600 soldiers were killed or injured,” a langlu replied.

Mu Lehong really clenched his fists and was furious: “Before the battle was fought, more than 3,600 people were lost. Okay, very good. When Lingwu County is conquered, I will take all the Dasong soldiers here. Stay, kill them all!”

Looking fiercely towards Lingwu County, he said: “Set up camp ten miles away, and send servants to dig a nearby trench at night.”

If you dig a trench from ten miles away, you will only Afraid that it would take more than ten days, he naturally didn’t want to wait for such a long time.

When it is dark and soldiers on both sides cannot observe the battlefield, they can send people to dig near the trenches of the other side to avoid being attacked.

After deciding on this matter, Mu Lehong really snorted heavily.

At the same time, even though he didn’t want to admit it, he still felt a sense of horror.

It is unbelievable and unimaginable that King Yan’s artillery can reach a distance of ten miles.

Central Army trench positions.

Bai Shang couldn’t help laughing when he saw Bei Di set up camp ten miles away.

Turning around, he took out a finger-thick brown object from his pocket, lit it by the campfire in the ditch, and began to puff.

This is exactly the cigar that Zhao Xu brought back from Luzon.

Returning to Yancheng from Nanzhanzhou, he rewarded Liu Fu, Chang Wei, Yang Feng and others with the hundred cigars he brought back, and also gave Zhao Heng a few to try.

Because Luzon has a large number of high-quality tobacco plantations left by Frangji.

While preparing to continue the Luzon cigar industry, he also transported tobacco back to Da Song to produce cigarettes.

After all, this is the same as liquor, a lucrative business.

“General Bai, your skin is itchy, you dare to steal from the General.” When Huo An saw the cigar in Bai Shang’s hand, his eyes straightened.

Because the cigars that King Yan brought back were few, they didn’t get any of them this time.

On the contrary, their general Chang Wei has ten roots.

Originally, Chang Wei also smoked secretly, but when they were reporting the affairs in the army, they bumped into him.

Only then did I understand what a cigar is.

Bai Shang looked intoxicated for a while, “If you can taste it, it’s worth being beaten.”

On weekdays, he often smokes Hanyan, but the shredded tobacco of Hanyan is obviously not as good as Luzon’s premium shredded tobacco.

As soon as he tasted it, he realized it.

Huo An was worried about Bai Shang at first, but he immediately showed curiosity, “What taste? Let me taste it too.”

Huo An laughed twice, took another one out of his bosom, and threw it to Huo An Ann, “Take it.”

Huo An was shocked again, and wanted to say, “You actually stole two.” But after thinking about it, the matter will be revealed by then, anyway, it will be Bai Shang who will be scolded.

He lighted the fire with peace of mind, and imitated it.

“Ahem…” Bai Shang coughed before tasting it.

But he was not willing to throw it away, but continued to smoke.

In the end, I did experience a little bit of taste, but unfortunately, I have run out of smoke.

At this moment, Bai Shang took out two cigars from his pocket.

Huo An couldn’t help being stunned, “General Bai, the general will definitely blow your ass open.”

Bai Shang was not nervous at all, he smiled, “I lied to you, I didn’t steal it at all, it was the general One for each of them. These two belonged to Liu Tan and Chu Shifei. The general said that if he smokes, he must fight the battle more beautifully. Give us some benefits.”

Huo An breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed twice, and said: “This face must be earned back for the general, and this route will be led by Mu Lehong himself, and then he will find a way to capture him alive.”

” If you can do this, it will be a great achievement.” Bai Shang’s heart skipped a beat.

Although they have this idea, it is obviously extremely difficult to do it.

Suddenly thought of something, he said: “Let the soldiers be smart at night and prepare flares.”

Bai Shang nodded when he thought of something.

For Beidi, no matter what action to take, it is naturally the most suitable time at night.

At that time, he said that he must send scouts to find out the situation.

The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and night falls quickly.

Because of the reflection of the snow, the outer areas of Lingwu County at night are not completely invisible.

But the visibility is only 20 to 30 meters, and it can’t be seen in places farther away.

Under Bai Shang’s order, a group of scouts climbed out of the trench and walked along the bank of the Jin River to the Beidi camp.

These scouts wore white cloaks to make themselves the same color as the snow.

Just when they were about to arrive at the Beidi camp, they suddenly heard the sound of snow being trampled on.

The scouts immediately raised their vigilance, and then turned back to the trench following the sound of footsteps.

But just over 500 meters away from the trench fortifications, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped.

There was another sound of digging the ground, which made the scouts suspicious.

In the end, they sent a person to crawl towards the direction of the sound.

Because of the white cloak, the soldiers and the snow were mixed together.

The soldiers were still not found when they were 30 meters away from Beidi soldiers.

But the scouts learned about the movements of the Beidi people, who were digging trenches.

After receiving this information, they immediately returned to report to Bai Shang.

“Damn it, I knew they wouldn’t be honest.” Bai Shang scolded.

Immediately he said, “Fire a flare to provide vision for the artillery.”
