Steel Dynasty - Chapter 356

[Chapter 356 Communication across eras]

The north wind is howling, which indicates that the seasons of the year are about to change again.

In the camp, Bei Shan was wearing armor and carrying a knife, his brows furrowed.

How many cattle and sheep will freeze to death in the Golden Horde this year? When will the tribal leaders understand that the bitter cold land in the north is no longer suitable for survival.

Sighing, he walked out of the tent.

Yesterday, he asked Chagatai to withdraw his troops and deliberately lured the Forbidden Army to support Jizhou City. However, his plan failed. Instead of coming, the Forbidden Army merged with the Forbidden Army in Fen City.

But in his opinion, it was nothing, he just needed to waste more time.

Their troops still have the upper hand, and this time they will eliminate the Qingzhou Army and the Jinwu Guards of Dayu once and for all. From now on, no army in Dayu will be able to pose a threat to him.

For this reason, he would not hesitate to lose the entire blood wolf tribe.

In the camp, the generals of the Blood Wolf Tribe are arranging soldiers. Now that Dayu’s army has merged, there will probably be a big battle today.

Looking across the way, Beishan looked towards Fen City. At this time, 250 cannons were divided into four city gates.

The muzzles of these artillery were aimed at the city gate. As long as the Qingzhou Army rushed out from the city gate, they would be fired by the artillery.

Quite confident in his own setup, Beishan then deployed his cavalry to arrange his troops.

Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on the vast yellow land and had to form a formation before they could go to war.

This is a principle that any general who understands the art of war will follow. Being able to fight in large armies is also a sign of judging the level of a general.

He didn’t dare to take it lightly. Opposite him was General Luo Quan of Dayu. This name often appeared in his father Khan’s golden tent.

Under his command, slave soldiers, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and cavalry formed phalanxes and gathered outside Fencheng.

At the same time, the scouts brought news that the Forbidden Army and the Qingzhou Army were also arranging their troops.

“Taiji, that strange thing in the Forbidden Army has risen again, and there are people on it.” A scout reported.

Beishan frowned. Just as he didn’t know what the fire-breathing weapons of the Qingzhou Army were, he also didn’t know what the thing flying in the sky was, so that he kept worrying in his heart.

Now that this thing appeared in front of the Forbidden Army again, he had to worry.

“Keep an eye on that thing.” Beishan had no other choice.

At this time, the strange thing mentioned by the barbarian scouts had risen into the sky, and was flying higher and higher.

There were four people standing on the hot air balloon, Liang Yubin, He Cheng, Luo Quan and a flagman.

“Higher, higher.” Luo Quan kept ordering.

Liang Yubin followed the general’s orders to heat the hot air balloon from time to time and increase the height of the hot air balloon.

Under the hot air balloon, a hundred soldiers pulled the rope like a tug of war to prevent the hot air balloon from floating away.

Once an order comes from above, they have to pull the hot air balloon to move, or loosen the rope in their hands to make the hot air balloon higher.

“Hahaha… This hot air balloon is a magic weapon. Now the barbarians’ arrangements cannot escape my eyes.” Luo Quan laughed while holding the telescope.

At this time, seventy meters above the ground, Luo Quan was carefully observing the situation of the barbarian army with a telescope.

Today’s weather is clear and cloudless, and the field of vision is extremely clear. At this time, the two armies are only five miles apart. Looking down from a hundred meters, the barbarian army can be seen in full view.

With the telescope, he could even see clearly what the soldiers in the barbarian camp were doing.

“There are artillery at the gate of the city. This Bei Shan is really insidious.” Luo Quan frowned.

At the same time, he saw about two thousand cavalry placed at the front of the center, followed by heavy cavalry, and behind them were slave soldiers holding swords.

Seeing this, he said to the flagman: “Send a flag in the direction of Fencheng and tell them about the artillery situation at the city gate.”

The flagman nodded when he heard this and kept playing flags in the direction of Fencheng.

At this time, Luo Quan shouted to the people below again, “Tell Zhan Xingchang the layout of the barbarians.”

Zhan Xingchang listened while drawing the layout of the barbarians on top, with the generals of the Jinwu Guard surrounding him on both sides.

Knowing the barbarian’s formation, they can deal with it at any time.

“Zhan Xingchang, the barbarian central army has deployed two thousand cavalry, and there are heavy cavalry behind it. Wouldn’t it be very dangerous for the Qingzhou Army to be placed in the central army.”

Zhan Xingchang frowned. Generally, the soldiers placed in the central army are The most elite, because once the Chinese army is defeated, half the war is won.

After thinking for a while, he said: “If the barbarians arrange it like this, our Qingzhou Bureau cannot withdraw. It is strange for these two thousand cavalry to be alone. Based on our understanding of the barbarians, these two thousand cavalry are likely to be dead soldiers.”

Luo Hong nodded .

He nodded and thought deeply, “How about I send another five thousand spearmen and two thousand crossbowmen to you?”

Zhan Xingchang was not so excited that he could deal with such an arrangement of the barbarians with his own strength.

Now that the barbarians deployed such a central army, he could only strengthen his offense and defense. He had no objection to Luo Hong’s arrangement.

While the Forbidden Army was discussing how to fight, Niu Ben in Fen City was observing the hot air balloons in the sky with a telescope.

In his field of vision, the flag head continued to play semaphores one after another. These semaphores clearly stated the arrangement and strength of the barbarians.

“Beishan actually placed artillery at the door.” Luo Xin also had a telescope in his hand. He put away the telescope and Luo Xin said happily: “Captain, we can destroy the barbarian’s artillery by surprise.”

“Tell me how to destroy it?” Niu Ben said.

At this time, he threw the flag on the hot air balloon to observe, and at the same time sighed in his heart that Xiao Ming was really a genius, he could think of such a way to convey the message.

Now the barbarians have no idea that they are communicating with each other.

“The flag says that this artillery is placed directly opposite the city gate, but we have the final say when the door opens. As long as we fire at the moment the door opens, we will have the advantage and we will definitely be able to knock out part of their artillery. “

Niu Ben nodded, “That makes sense, we will arrange it this way later.”

After finishing the semaphore on the hot air balloon, Niu Ben began to draw the layout of the barbarians outside the city.

Lu Fei and other generals gathered together to discuss how to attack, and sent the plan back with flags, and the two sides cooperated with each other.

“Now the heavy troops of the barbarians are preparing for a head-on battle with the Forbidden Army at the north gate. At the same time, hundreds of artillery pieces are blocking the door. We can’t go here, otherwise we will suffer heavy casualties.”

“How can we cooperate inside and outside without going through the north gate?” Lu Fei said.

“Luo Quan found the location of Bei Shan’s silver tent and captured the thief and the king. Let’s go through the west gate and kill directly at Bei Shan’s silver tent. If the barbarian soldiers learn that their commander is in danger, their morale will inevitably be in chaos. Luo Quan will Then we can seize the opportunity.”

The other generals suddenly understood.

Standing up, Niu Ben said: “Assemble the whole army. If we can relieve the danger in Jizhou, we will fight here!”
