Steel Dynasty - Chapter 638

[Chapter 637: The Breaker]

“You bastard!”

Cui Huai was furious in the camp. The collapse of the musketeers caused chaos in the front army. They could not allow the troops behind to charge forward and fight hand-to-hand with the Yunzhou army, so they had to temporarily return to the camp to regroup. Soldiers fight again.

The second prince’s face was gloomy. It was his idea to set up a military governor, but even so, he still could not save the defeat. He said: “All deserters will be killed without mercy. All the musketeers who returned will be killed.”

“Kill them all .

“We have less than two thousand musketeers left in the Yan Kingdom.” Cui Huai felt extremely distressed, and now he regretted believing the second prince’s words.

If it weren’t for this group of warlords, how could his musketeers have suffered such serious losses.

“You have two thousand people left in the Yan Kingdom, but we in the Liang Kingdom don’t have a single musketeer left. Your military governor is really good at it, and he is merciless.” The second prince sneered.

Now that all his musketeers have been destroyed, it will be difficult for him to explain when he returns. After all, whether it is Yan or Liang, these musketeers are elites, and these elites are vulnerable to the Qi army.

Cui Huai heard this and said angrily: “Second prince, what do you mean? This governor is not your idea. The governor of Yan State supervises Liang Jun, and the governor of Liang State supervises Yan Army. This is what you said.”

Only Zhao Ang participated in this battle .

There was no loss. He was secretly amused and pretended to persuade: “You two, stop arguing and think about how to attack the city. Although we were defeated today, we only lost 30,000 people. We still have 30 people.” Thousands of people.”

“General Zhao really doesn’t feel hurt when he stands and talks. It’s not your cavalry that’s being lost. Of course you don’t feel bad. General Zhao likes to fight so much. How about letting the Xuanjia cavalry break up the Qi army’s camp tomorrow?”

“This It’s an idea, the musket reloads very slowly, and the cavalry can reach them within a few hundred meters in an instant.” The second prince also agreed.

Zhao Ang’s expression suddenly changed, and he said: “Don’t forget that the Yunzhou Army also has cavalry. If the Xuanjia cavalry is gone, how will you deal with their cavalry.”

This time the three kings’ coalition appointed King Yan as the commander of the coalition .

, Ji Huai said: “General Zhao, this is an order.”

Zhao Ang looked extremely ugly when he heard this, and he snorted and left the camp.

Cui Huai and the second prince looked at Zhao Ang’s leaving figure and both showed a cruel smile. How could they let Zhao Ang watch the show comfortably after they had lost so many people.

Yunzhou Army Camp.

After Niu Ben and other generals had a simple dinner, they gathered in the camp again. They were preparing early in the morning to start the battle at noon and to withdraw their troops in the evening.

Although they had a lot of advantages using firearms, hundreds of soldiers were still killed and injured under the firing of desperate coalition musketeers.

This battle loss is still acceptable to them, because the losses of the coalition forces are greater.

“General, it will be troublesome if the Three Kings Alliance keeps fighting in this desperate way. Now their musketeers should be finished, and now it’s time to use cavalry and infantry to kill!” Lu Fei analyzed.

All the generals nodded.

Luo Hong said: “The distance of three hundred meters is only a few breaths for the cavalry, and even the infantry can rush over in only twenty breaths.”

Niu Ben deeply agreed, and he naturally knew that if If this head-on confrontation continues, they will eventually lose tens of thousands of people, because once the coalition forces charge and turn into hand-to-hand combat, it will be very detrimental to them. After pondering for a while, he said: “We will not be able to hold out from tomorrow, and we will spend some time with them.” , to sharpen their spirit.”

Qi Guangyi said: “General, I asked you to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack their baggage.”

Bai Mu said: “General, I am also willing to go with you.”

Niu Ben nodded, “Remember, theirs. Burn the food and grass if you can, but don’t be reluctant to fight.”

“Yes, general,” Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu said at the same time.

After a pause, Niu Ben continued: “The general has decided to hold on for five days from tomorrow. After five days, we will use the vehicle formation as the basis to surround the coalition camp. In this way, we can take advantage of the firearms and don’t have to worry. Charge on foot.”

Lu Fei and other generals nodded after hearing this. Today they were just luring the musketeers of the coalition to fight with them. In their opinion, King Yan and King Liang were too confident in their musketeers, thinking that with these Musketeers can be exchanged for one in equal numbers.

In fact, these soldiers were just targets. They only exchanged most of the coalition’s musketeers at a small price.

The next day.

When Cui Huai, the second prince and Zhao Ang led the army to arrive at Yunzhou City again, they found that all the soldiers who lined up in front of the city yesterday were on the city wall.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Ang was naturally relieved, while the second prince and Cui Huai had gloomy expressions.

There are only two roads in front of them now, one is to attack the city, and the other is to bypass Yunzhou City. However, if they bypass Yunzhou City, it means that their grain road is completely exposed under the eyes of Yunzhou City.

Once the food route is cut off, it will be a disaster for them.

So after careful consideration, they finally chose the first route to siege the city. This time, with an army of 350,000 people gathered, they had to get a satisfactory result.

It was only when they attacked the city that they discovered that there was no difference in difficulty between attacking the city and detouring around Yunzhou City.

When the artillery on the city wall began to roar, they knew that today would be a futile return. Just as they thought, at night, they left nothing but corpses under the city and even a brick on the wall of Yunzhou City. None of them were pried up.

Then came the second day, and the third day…

At the same time, while the coalition forces were still fighting fiercely under Yunzhou City, King Yong’s army took advantage of Liang’s empty troops and arrived at Bingzhou City.

The general leading the Yongzhou army this time was none other than Chen Xinran, the family general of King Yong, and the army going to Bingzhou was an elite division trained by him. This army consisted of 20,000 musketeers, 40,000 infantry, and 10,000 infantrymen. Composed of five thousand cavalry.

The Liang Kingdom bordered the fiefdom of King Yong. After receiving King Yong’s order, they set out from Jizhou all the way to Bingzhou. They encountered no resistance at all on the way.

“General, ahead is Bingzhou City.” A general said, pointing to the city in front.

Chen Xinran nodded and said to his general: “Immediately ask people to push up the artillery. Now His Highness King Qi is about to ascend the throne. His Highness King Yong has asked us to capture Bingzhou City. This is what King Yong gave to the future emperor.” Big gift.”

“Yes, General.” The general immediately went to inform the artillery.

At this time, Chen Xinran looked at Bingzhou City, which bordered the land of King Yong. King Yong and King Liang had had many conflicts here before.

And now they can finally attack Bingzhou City openly and openly.
