Steel Dynasty - Chapter 360

[Chapter 360 Heading north]

PS: There is another chapter coming soon.

In Yunzhou City, Xiao Ming looked at He Kui kneeling in front of him.

At noon today, He Kui tried to force his way into the city and was caught by the guards of Yunzhou City.

After the defeat of Shanzi Camp, some deserters from Shanzi Camp arrived in Yunzhou City one after another, but not many soldiers came back. Compared to the 30,000 Shanzi Camp, only more than 3,000 people came back.

Most of the Shanzi camp soldiers lost their way after the collapse, and no one knew where they went.

“King Qi, what do you want to do? I am the king of Wei, how dare you do anything to me!”

At this time, He Kui was being held by two soldiers. He kept twisting his body and trying to break free.

Xiao Ming looked at He Kui.

He is fair and plump, with thin skin and tender flesh. He is obviously not a person who has experienced hardships. It seems that the colorful world in the south is indeed nourishing.

“Let me go, you won’t be afraid of King Wei…”

A silver light flashed, and He Kui’s words suddenly stopped.

The sharp accessory was unsheathed, with a hint of red remaining on the blade. He Kui covered his neck and looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief.

After all, he couldn’t believe that Xiao Ming dared to kill him.

“Throw it into the wilderness and feed it to the dogs!” Xiao Ming’s cold voice came.

Not to mention the current small Shanziying generals, even if the King of Wei is in front of him, he dares to draw his sword.

This time the grain and grass were hijacked, he was angry but also blamed himself, regretting that he should not have let Shanzi Camp transport the grain and grass. However, the war was urgent at the time and he had no other choice.

Now he naturally hated Shanziying very much. At this time, He Kui dared to come back. Did he really think that the sword in his hand was not sharp enough?

Two soldiers dragged He Kui’s body out.

At this time, a scout suddenly reined in his horse in front of him, dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said, “Your Highness, the barbarians have retreated. Have we lifted the siege of Jizhou?”

“The barbarians have retreated!” Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he continued to ask: “The barbarians have retreated!” Tell me more carefully.”

The scout was obviously very excited, so he told Xiao Ming the details of the battle.

After learning the cause and effect, Xiao Ming could hardly close his mouth, “He was actually hit by a cannonball. God bless me Dayu, God bless me Dayu, hahaha…”

After saying this, he suddenly laughed.

Then he said to Zhao Long and Zhao Hu: “Pack it up, we will go to Jizhou City immediately. This time Beishan does not know whether to live or die, the blood wolf tribe will definitely be in chaos, and we should take the opportunity to seize Shanhaiguan Pass.”

Zhao Long and Zhao Hu nodded and immediately went to clean up. thing.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming went to Jizhou under the escort of Yunzhou Army.

On the way, he finally saw the horror of the drought in Jizhou. The land was dry and cracked, everything edible was eaten, and victims who had lost their lives could be seen everywhere on the road.

The corpses of some victims were already rotting, the stench was filling the air, and crows were circling in the sky. This was a scene of doomsday.

Looking at these victims, Xiao Ming thought of the Azure Dragon King.

Now that the barbarians are defeated, the next step is to deal with the Qinglong King. He wants to settle this account with the Qinglong King clearly.

At noon the next day, the group rushed to Jizhou.

When passing through Fencheng, Xiao Ming saw soldiers burying corpses. Seeing the densely packed corpses made his scalp numb.

This is the cruel war of ancient times.

“Your Highness.”

In the camp where the Qingzhou Army was stationed, Xiao Ming saw Niu Ben, Zhan Xingchang, Lu Fei and other generals.

Because the scouts had informed him of his arrival in advance, they were outside to meet Xiao Ming before he arrived.

“Everyone, you have worked hard in this battle.” Xiao Ming smiled proudly.

This time he was firmly in the rear, relying entirely on his generals to fight the enemy here, so he was very pleased with these generals.

Niu Ben said: “Your Highness, this is our duty, Your Highness, there is no need to be polite.”

As he said that, the group entered the camp.

At this time, Niu Ben told Xiao Ming the details of the battle, and finally said: “Your Highness, I don’t know whether Bei Shan is alive or dead this time. It’s time to pursue the victory. After all, Bei Shan governs Youzhou and other places. At this time The leaderless army is the time to pursue the victory. “

“I was also thinking about this along the way. I have sent people to inform the soldiers in Cangzhou to march towards Shanhaiguan. Without further delay, you can set out tomorrow and join forces to attack Shanhaiguan. .”

After a pause, Xiao Ming said: “The Cangzhou Army brought a hundred artillery pieces this time, and you have fifty artillery pieces. One hundred and fifty artillery pieces are enough for us to take down Shanhaiguan. If this battle is successful, the barbarians will be here. We will imprison him in the bitter cold in the north.”

Niu Ben and others looked excited when they heard this.

There are barbarians outside Cangzhou City, which makes them always on tenterhooks, always worried that the barbarians will attack. It would be different if the barbarians were locked up outside Shanhaiguan.

Not to mention that Shanhaiguan is more majestic than Cangzhou City, but it is also far away, giving them enough time to prepare.

“Yes, Your Highness, the general is reorganizing the army now and preparing to set off tomorrow.” Niu Ben said, “By the way, Your Highness, we also captured 250 barbarian artillery pieces this time. Do you want to see it, Your Highness?”

“Really? ? How about this barbarian’s artillery? “

At this time, Niu Ben led Xiao Ming out of the camp to an open space. At this time, there were 250 artillery pieces neatly placed in the open space.

These artillery pieces are all made of bronze. The caliber and length of the artillery pieces are inferior to those of the Qingzhou Army. They are light artillery pieces.

“Your Highness, this is the gunpowder used by the barbarians.” Luo Xin came over holding a pinch of gunpowder.

This is the most primitive black powder. Seeing this, Xiao Ming nodded. It seems that the artillery level of the Ottoman Empire is only average, and there is no front sight and rear sight on the artillery. This artillery is at most the level of the mid-17th century. .

“Your Highness, we have tested it. The barbarian artillery is almost the same as our export-type artillery. It is far behind our ability to shoot at them.” Luo Xin was very high-spirited. This time, their artillery battalion can be said to have made a great contribution.

Xiao Ming laughed, and he felt relieved.

Then he said to Luo Xin: “You artillerymen performed well this time and made great contributions. It seems that I will commend you well when you get back.”

Hearing this, Luo Xin suddenly beamed with joy, but he changed his words and said: “Yes. Your Highness, King Yong came to the military camp several times to ask for the artillery, saying that it was a spoil of war and he should have a share of it. What should we do? “

During this battle in Jizhou, Xiao Ming was a little angry with King Wei and King Yong. He He

said: “I have told him about this matter. The huge effort and huge expenditure this time are all because of him. I will not leave Jizhou so easily if I don’t peel off a layer of his skin.” As soon as

his words fell. , all the generals smiled, this was indeed the true character of King Qi.

While the group was talking, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.

A rough voice came, “Isn’t that boy from King Qi here? Let him come out to see me.”
