Steel Dynasty - Chapter 602

[Chapter 602 All-out Attack]

Qingzhou.

A sudden spring rain announced that the long winter was coming to an end.

Sitting at the door of the dormitory, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er were eating melon seeds and chatting.

Since he ordered the capture of Jinling City, his nerves have been very nervous every day, fearing that the battle of Jinling City will be a disastrous defeat.

“Your Highness has been frowning these past few days. Are you still worried about the affairs of Jinling City?” Fei Yue’er popped out the melon seeds and put them on a plate. When there were too many, she ate them with Xiao Ming.

The same goes for Xiao Ming. The husband and wife have a tacit understanding.

“Yes, speaking of which, Ye Qingyun has also set out for twelve days. Regardless of success or failure, the news should come back.” Xiao Ming sighed slightly. The war with Wei has been on and off for a year, and now it is also The time has come for him to fully occupy Wei.

According to the news from Wang Xuan, King Zhao finally broke through Jianmen Pass half a month ago with the cooperation of barbarian fire and artillery. Since then, the door of Bashu has been wide open. Facing King Zhao and the barbarian cavalry, he believes that King Shu will not be able to hold on for long. This will lead to the loss of this world’s granary.

From then on, King Zhao will occupy the city of Chang’an, and with Bashu as his granary, he will be able to advance and retreat freely. Moreover, Wang Xuan also mentioned that King Zhao used the musketeers this time. King Zhao has been producing matchlocks since the Chang’an Rebellion. This time he attacked Jianmen Pass. A 15,000-strong musketry team was used.

Although these muskets were part of what Xiao Ming had originally sold to him, the number was enough to show that King Zhao had copied many matchlock guns, and what worried him most was that King Zhao would hand over the matchlock technology to the barbarians.

After all, a person would lose all his bottom line for the sake of royal power. King Zhao has surrendered to the barbarians, and there is nothing he can’t do now.

While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came, “Your Highness, Jinling City has been captured. Ye Qingyun sent people to deliver all the royal seals of King Wei.”

This voice sounded in the distance, overpowering the patter of rain .

There was a sound of rain, and then Niu ran towards the main hall under the light rain.

When they got closer, Niu Ben bowed and said, “I’ve met the princess, and I’ve met your highness.”

“I’ve met your highness, Governor Niu.” Xiao Ming said, while Fei Yue’er nodded and walked into the palace. She always chose not to do anything about government affairs. put one’s oar in.

Niu Ben saluted and said, “Your Highness, General Mo has just received good news from Jinling City. Ye Qingyun has captured Jinling City, and King Wei is also imprisoned in the prison of Jinling City.”

“Really?” Xiao Ming stood up from his chair. He stood up. This time he couldn’t help but be excited, because the capture of Jinling City basically meant that the war in Wei was coming to an end.

“It’s absolutely true.” Niu Ben smiled and handed the royal seal in his hand to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming took the king’s seal carved out of jade, with the word “Wei” engraved on the bottom. He laughed out loud. Today was the happiest day for him in the past three years. Although his feudal kingdom had developed somewhat in the past three years. , but the overall wealth is still not as good as that of Wei.

Moreover, Wei has many cities and a large population, which in itself is a huge wealth.

As long as the land of Wei is captured, not only will his products expand the sales market, but the financial problems of the feudal country will also be solved. This land of Wei is not as good as a world granary, but most of the granaries are still comparable.

“In this case, Lu Fei was immediately ordered to attack Chuzhou. King Wei was captured and Xiao Han was trapped in Chuzhou City. If Xiao Han is captured again, Wei will be completely leaderless. This time we will capture the remaining cities in Wei in one fell swoop. “Xiao Ming said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Niu Ben nodded heavily.

After turning around and leaving, Niu Ben asked his scouts to send the news to the Chuzhou front line in the rain. After receiving Niu Ben’s order, Lu Fei officially prepared to launch an attack on Chuzhou City.

“General, do you want to continue to starve the soldiers in the city for a few days?” Luo Hong said to Lu Fei.

Lu Fei held the military order in his hand. He looked at the listless soldiers in Chuzhou City and said, “No need. The soldiers in the city are probably going crazy with hunger now. Now let the logistics prepare porridge in front of the camp, and at the same time send someone to tell the people in the city. Soldiers, as long as you surrender, you will have porridge.”

“Yes.” Luo Hong nodded.

“Ye Qingyun, this kid is really quite capable, but I won’t lose to you.” Lu Fei chuckled.

The reinforcements sent by the King of Wei came to Chuzhou City a few days ago, but before they arrived at Chuzhou City, they seemed to have received news that Jinling City had been destroyed. The reinforcements that rescued Xiao Han did not want to fight in the first place, and they were dilly-dallying along the way. Damn, now they are just like birds and beasts scattered, there is no need for them to do anything.

At that time, he only suspected that something had happened to Jinling City. Now Niu Ben’s military order confirmed the news that Jinling City had been destroyed, so he was not prepared to attack immediately, but was prepared to have a mental battle first.

Soon, the cook of the Southern Expeditionary Army carried the big iron pot to the front of Chuzhou City and cooked rice porridge in front of the Chuzhou defenders. The soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army formed a square formation to guard the surrounding area.

They lit a fire and cooked porridge, and soon the thick aroma of rice drifted to the Chuzhou city wall along the north wind. The already hungry defenders immediately looked longingly at the iron pot outside the city.

At this time, a soldier holding a loudspeaker took a few steps forward. The loudspeaker was similar to a cone and was rolled up by iron sheets. The soldier’s voice was transmitted far through the loudspeaker.

“Brothers in the city, are you hungry? If you are hungry, come out and eat porridge. Our general said. As long as you put down your weapons, we will never kill you. We have just received news that Jinling City has been captured. Your King of Wei has also been arrested. The Kingdom of Wei is already dead, why do you need to sacrifice your life in vain?”

A loud voice reached Chuzhou City, and the soldiers immediately shouted,

“Jinling City has been captured? Maybe?” The soldiers on the city came from Jinling City and were reinforcements from Jinling City. The words of the Southern Expeditionary Army made them confused.

“How is it impossible? The firearms of the Southern Expedition Army are so powerful. There are not many troops left in Jinling City. How can they stop the attack of King Qi’s army?” said a soldier.

“Then what should we do? King Wei has also been arrested. I don’t want to die here in vain.” Another soldier cried.

Along with the cries, other reinforcements soldiers also felt sad. The problem they faced now was not that the city was besieged by the Southern Expeditionary Army, but that the food in the city had been almost eaten in more than half a month.

A small Chuzhou city is crowded with hundreds of thousands of troops. There is not enough food and grass in the city to eat. They are already eating one meal a day, and they will probably have no food in a short time.

While the soldiers were discussing, suddenly there was a sound of fighting at the Chuzhou City Gate, and then the Chuzhou City opened, and the Chuzhou Army soldiers ran out of the city first.

These soldiers were all Chen Wei’s subordinates. They were dissatisfied with Xiao Han when Chen Wei was imprisoned. In such a desperate situation, they had no intention of fighting again.

“Shoot arrows and kill them!” the captain on the city wall ordered.

But after his order was issued, none of the soldiers on the city wall took action, and they all looked at him with strange eyes.
