Steel Dynasty - Chapter 340

[Chapter 340 Everlasting Hate]

Summer has entered, and the blazing sun is baking Yunzhou City.

But this time, the people on the road felt a chill.

More and more Qingzhou Army soldiers were resting on both sides of the road, eyeing the generals of Shanziying with eager eyes.

They fought bloody battles at the front to resist the barbarians and win a peaceful and prosperous age for these people. What qualifications do they have to shout and drink?

“What do you want to do? Rebellion?” He Kui was the commander of Shanzi Camp, and his expression changed instantly.

The personal guards who rushed over also stopped. They felt a dangerous aura from these soldiers. This is an aura that only those who have experienced life and death on the battlefield can have.

In the past, Lu Fei would have led his men up and beat up these birdmen, but now he must focus on the overall situation.

Although the barbarian army of ten thousand people was defeated in the battle outside Yunzhou City, it was all because the barbarians did not take precautions in advance. The siege of Jizhou still required the cooperation of the three armies.

He said slowly: “The barbarian army is in Jizhou. Lu doesn’t want to have any quarrels with the friendly forces, but he also asks the general to respect himself. The three armies are working together this time to lift the siege of Jizhou. Presumably the general is not here to fight with Qingzhou.” There is trouble in the army.”

After saying that, Lu Fei retreated to one side of the road.

Looking at the strangely dressed Qingzhou Army, He Kui snorted lightly and led the soldiers into the camp to station themselves.

He was naturally full of resentment when he came to help Jizhou this time. No one in King Wei’s army was willing to take on this unfortunate task.

Along the way, he would tremble every time he thought about fighting the barbarians. The terror of the barbarians penetrated into the hearts of these generals.

What’s more, King Wei gave him such an army, and he spoke rudely to Lu Fei out of anger. It was really just to vent his anger for a moment.

Lu Fei informed Shanziying of tomorrow’s itinerary and went back to Daying to organize a trip to Jizhou tomorrow.

These days, Qingzhou has mobilized some more artillery, and this time the number of artillery in the army has reached fifty.

In the military camp, Lu Fei complained to Niu Ben about Shanzi Camp again.

Niu Ben just smiled bitterly. In this situation, he could only break the pot and throw it away. It would be fine when he reunited with the Forbidden Army.

After all, he knew Luo Quan well and knew that this forbidden army could at least fight.

On the second day, Niu Ben led the Qingzhou Army to set off. In the formation of this march, Lu Fei arranged the musketeers in the middle.

On both sides were columns of chariots and cavalry, so that if there was a sudden attack by the barbarians, a chariot formation could be formed immediately for defense.

At this time, Shanziying was walking behind the Qingzhou Army. Just as he thought, Shanziying took the initiative to undertake the transportation of logistical equipment.

Although Niu Ben didn’t believe in Shanziying’s combat power, it was better than nothing this time.

What’s more, with the Qingzhou Army holding down the formation, they can provide support at any time if something unexpected happens.

Except for the boundary of Yunzhou City, after traveling less than thirty miles, the scene on both sides of the road became desolate.

Displaced victims began to appear along the road.

With sad faces on their faces, these victims dragged their families and headed towards Yunzhou City.

“Old man, are you going to King Qi’s fief?” Niu Ben asked.

A skinny old man raised his head and said, “Yes, we can’t survive in Jizhou. A few days ago we met a group of cavalry. They said they were the army of King Qi. They asked them to go to Yunzhou City. They said there were soldiers in Yunzhou City. Food, let them take refuge in King Qi’s fief, and our whole village is ready to go.”

“We are also King Qi’s army. You can go without worry. Yunzhou City has already taken in many victims.”

Niu Ben did not forget this. Another task to do.

The victims’ eyes were filled with joy when they heard this, and they began to be full of hope for the future.

With a smile on his face, Niu Ben led the Qingzhou Army and continued to advance.

He sent Qi Guangyi to gather the victims first, and it seemed to have been effective. Along the way, at least 30,000 to 40,000 victims went to Jizhou.

The severe drought in Jizhou really caused the local people to suffer, and King Yong’s inability to provide disaster relief made him lose the support of the local people even more.

…

Outside Jizhou City, more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers were tied up and kneeling facing the north. Behind them, there were also more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers standing, holding scimitars in their hands, waiting for Chagatai’s order.

Jizhou City has been besieged for more than half a month, and Chagatai has never been besieged.

The troops of King Yong who came to support were constantly annihilated. Eventually, no army dared to come to support anymore.

Just when Chagatai was sure of victory and was just waiting for Beishan’s army to arrive, news came that the Kuhawan troops had collapsed, and at the same time, two thousand returning cavalry were detained by Chagatai.

“If the commander abandons the soldiers, behead him!”

“If the soldiers abandon the commander, behead him!”

“If the soldier disobeys the military order and retreats without permission, behead him!”

Two ruthless military laws of the Golden Horde came out of Chagatai’s mouth.

The cavalrymen kneeling on the ground looked numb. They knew they would die when they chose to retreat.

At that time, they were really frightened by the strange weapons of the Qingzhou Army, which led to the greatest defeat of the Golden Horde since its founding.

At this moment, they became a disgrace to the Golden Horde, and their families would live in ridicule.

The Golden Horde built its country on bows and horses and attached great importance to honor, and this concept of honor was engraved in the hearts of every Golden Horde person.

Without waiting for Chagatai’s order, a commander who was kneeling on the ground stood up. He straightened his chest and said to Chagatai: “Flag leader, we are the shame of the Golden Horde. Please give us a chance to wash away our shame.” We are willing to rush into battle first and shed our last drop of blood for the Golden Horde Khanate, rather than die under the sword of our own people.”

When these cavalrymen fled back, Chagatai was furious. No soldier in the Khanate could come back alive after losing his commander.

This is the iron law of the Golden Horde. It is precisely by virtue of this harsh military law that the Golden Horde was able to conquer the entire northern country.

There was a crunching sound when his hands were squeezed, and Chagatai suppressed the anger in his heart.

After this group of cavalry came back, they told about Qingzhou’s strange formations and weapons. In his opinion, his soldiers were not afraid of death, but were afraid of the flame-breathing weapons.

“The devil’s weapon.”

Jaghatai said to himself, and the shaman’s warning suddenly echoed in his ears. Those killed by the devil will not be able to ascend to the Heaven of Everlasting Hatred, and the souls of those who died fighting for the honor of the tribe will be in the sky. Changhentian gets eternal life.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Golden Horde were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of the legendary devil. In his opinion, someone in panic triggered the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, which led to this defeat.

But whatever the reason, these soldiers must be executed.

But he was not a pedantic person. It was better to let these two thousand people die on the way to charge than to die in front of him.

“That weapon is somewhat similar to artillery. It is not a devil’s weapon. You cowards, I will give you another chance to prove your bravery to me with your blood.”
