Steel Dynasty - Chapter 347
[Chapter 347 Rushing to Rescue]
Fencheng, Niu Ben, Lu Fei, Luo Xin and other generals were discussing how to deal with the upcoming war in a private house.
When they were stationed in Fencheng waiting to join the Forbidden Army, reinforcements from the barbarians suddenly arrived, and 80,000 cavalry surrounded the small Fencheng.
Shanziying collapsed without a fight, and the city only had 15 days of food and grass. The barbarians learned about the situation in the city from the captured Shanziying soldiers, so they decided to adopt siege tactics.
“Commander, fight out. The barbarians must have the same idea as Jizhou City. They are planning to trap us to death and at the same time eliminate the reinforcements that come to our aid. Now the news that we are under siege must have reached His Highness. Are we waiting? Are they coming here to die?”
There was no fear on Lu Fei’s face, only determination.
Niu Ben was silent in thought. The barbarian cavalry outside the city were Beishan’s reinforcements. He didn’t know whether Beishan was in the army, but the barbarian artillery had indeed arrived.
Luo Xin stood up at this time and cursed: “Let’s not talk about other things, at least kill the barbarian artillery. Otherwise, the barbarian artillery will pose a great threat to the car formation. This group of barbaric dogs actually bombarded Fen with their own artillery.” “This will let them know how powerful our artillery is.”
“That’s right, general, let’s fight. You can’t wait to die in Fencheng,” other generals said.
After pondering for a while, Niu Ben said: “Now is not the time. We cannot rush into battle without the imperial army. I believe Luo Quan. He knows what to do now. Beishan wants to besiege us. We may not be able to give him a flanking attack.” “
Is the Forbidden Army really good?” Lu Fei didn’t believe in the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.
Luo Xin said at this time: “The Forbidden Army may not be as good as our Qingzhou Army, but the Jinwu Guards led by my father are also the first-class elite soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom. At least they will not run away like those cowards from the Shanzi Camp.”
“Can we fight? Goodbye on the battlefield,” Lu Fei snorted.
He was slightly dissatisfied with the arrival of the imperial army too slowly. If this continued, once the food and grass were exhausted, they would probably starve to death.
Niu Ben frowned. Now Fencheng was besieged and he had lost contact with the outside world. He didn’t know how many barbarians had come.
…
Bei Shan was sitting in the center of the barbarian camp outside Jizhou City. Chagatai, Gu Duo and other leaders of the Blood Wolf tribe gathered in the camp.
This time the Blood Wolf Tribe came out in full force, with 150,000 Blood Wolf Riders plus 200,000 slave soldiers, and an army of 350,000 people came. Beishan was very ambitious.
The rebellion in Jizhou greatly weakened King Yong’s energy, and he was unable to take care of their coming. This time their army entered Jizhou without encountering any decent resistance.
This made Beishan more confident.
“Taiji, Jizhou City has been besieged by us for more than a month. Now the morale is low. It is time to attack the city. Take Jizhou City at this time, destroy the main force of the Qingzhou Army, and use Jizhou as a stronghold. The King of Qi will no longer be able to fight back. .”
Chagatai said respectfully.
“No, King Yong is already a mouse in his pocket. He can’t survive for a few days. The most important thing now is the 30,000 Qingzhou Army in Fencheng. If they attack from behind when attacking Jizhou, we will be attacked from both sides.” Bei Shan Said slowly.
Chagatai laughed when he heard this and said: “What Taiji said is very true, brilliant, brilliant.”
“Taiji, the imperial army of the Chongqing Kingdom is thirty miles away. I think we can no longer wait at this time and should attack Fencheng with all our strength. Destroying the Qingzhou Army, Kuha’s death in this battle shows the strength of the Qingzhou Army, and it is said that the Qingzhou Army also possesses strange weapons. If King Qi is given a few more years to develop, this King of Qi may be the Khan of our Golden Horde. The country is in serious trouble,” Gu Duo said loudly.
Bei Shan looked at Gu Duo, “You mean to attack Fencheng now.”
“Yes, Taiji.” Gu Duo lowered his head.
Bei Shan lightly glanced at Gu Duo and said: “The Forbidden Army is just a bunch of rabble. There is nothing to worry about. All you need to do is send a group of cavalry to block the Forbidden Army’s reinforcements. Now the Qingzhou Army’s food and grass can only last for half a month. By then Without food, they will be in chaos.”
Guduo frowned. The Blood Wolf Tribe had never fought against the Forbidden Army, but the Huyantuo Tribe said that Luo Quan was not a simple person.
He opened his mouth, but saw Bei Shan’s stern eyes and finally said no more.
…
Thirty miles away, Luo Quan led the Jinwu Guards and came towards Fencheng.
At this moment, a scout came to report: “General, the Qingzhou Army is besieged in Fencheng, thirty miles away from Jizhou City, and the situation is critical.”
“What!” Luo Quan’s expression changed drastically, and he asked, “The barbarians are coming. “How many troops are there?”
“At least 150,000 cavalry and 200,000 slave soldiers.”
Luo Quan’s face became more and more ugly. Beishan’s Blood Wolf Tribe was one of the most powerful cavalry of the barbarians, and these 150,000 people were all out.
Bei Shan wants to seize the northern kingdom in one fell swoop.
After pondering for a while, Luo Quan said: “Continue to monitor the movements of the barbarian cavalry, and rush to Fencheng immediately.”
This time Luo Quan can be said to have brought all the elite of the Chongqing Forbidden Army.
Among them were 60,000 cavalry, 30,000 spearmen, 40,000 sword and shield bearers, and 20,000 archers.
These soldiers are all Jinwu Guards, elite soldiers trained by him personally.
“Yes.” The scout responded and left immediately.
The army continued to move forward, but within ten miles suddenly a scout came urgently to report that 70,000 barbarian cavalry were coming towards the army.
Luo Quan frowned when he heard this. The barbarians were trying to stop them outside Fen City. He could see through their thoughts at a glance.
At this time, Luo Hong said to his father: “Father, General Niu Ben’s delay in moving in Fencheng should be waiting for us to attack the barbarian cavalry in front and back. At this time, my father should send 60,000 cavalry to detour to Fencheng. I and 90,000 The infantry will stand firm.”
Luo Quan looked at his eldest son with admiration. Luo Hong showed his wisdom and wisdom in those days. He said: “Leave ten thousand cavalry with you, so I will leave this place to you. I will lead the cavalry first.
Luo Hong nodded with a solemn expression, “Please take care of yourself, father.”
A
trace of concern flashed in Luo Quan’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything after what he wanted to say.
Luo Quan mobilized his horses and led most of the cavalry towards Fencheng.
As soon as Luo Quan left, Luo Hong’s expression immediately became resolute, and he began to issue orders. The spearmen were in front, the crossbowmen were behind, and the swordsmen and shieldmen were protecting the formation. “
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately began to change their formations. After a while, the 90,000 infantrymen turned into a large formation of 90,000 people.
Just as the formation was completed, dust suddenly rose in the distance, and the barbarian cavalry quickly arrived in front of them.
Come to stop them .
The cavalry of the Forbidden Army was led by Chagatai himself, and Beishan was in charge of the overall situation in Jizhou City.
He led the cavalry to a stop in front of the formation. Chagatai looked at the formation of nine thousand people with a trace of disdain on his face,
in such a place .
Cavalry warfare is simply seeking death.
