Become a feudal king from today - #958 - Chapter 970 Iron Horse Glacier
Yongcheng.
Muller, Hong Zhen and the other two were just happy because the weather was getting colder.
Ma Han and Chen Hu were also looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky.
At this moment, the two were in Yongcheng.
Originally, Yongzhou and Qinzhou were the defense areas of the White Tiger Army.
Now, in order to deal with the Northern Di, the Lancers led by Chen Hu were also dispatched here.
If a large-scale ice freezes in a section of the Jin River in the Hetao Plain.
In order to deal with the whole line, the Xuanwu Army based on the Ningjin Army will support Yongzhou with 60,000 people.
At the same time, the Central Army based on the Wangfu Army will also support Yongzhou.
Since the railway has extended to the Jin River on the east bank of Yongzhou.
They will support Yongzhou very quickly.
“If this goes on, we must request support from the Xuanwu Army and the Central Army.” Ma Han said to Chen Hu in the Yongcheng government office.
They have prepared for the narrow section of the Jin River.
But if the weather continues to get colder, I am afraid that the wider river will also freeze.
In this way, if they encounter obstacles in the narrow river section, the Northern Di will definitely choose to pass through the wide river section.
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Chen Hu’s eyes gleamed. “The Beidi cavalry is no match for the lancers now. This time I want to let the Beidi people know that their cavalry is useless.” Ma Han smiled. He knew very well that Chen Hu was not bragging. Cavalry carrying carbines are simply the nemesis of traditional cavalry. Lancers can use the range of carbines to launch attacks outside the range of Beidi cavalry’s bows and arrows. The opponent can only be kite-flying. However, in his opinion, the Beidi cavalry is coming with great momentum this time, so it is better to be cautious. He promised Chang Wei that he would never let the Beidi soldiers cross Yongzhou and only control the battlefield in the north of Yongzhou. Because the north of Yongzhou is very desolate and almost uninhabited. But to the south, there are more settled people. In addition, there are many plantations developed by the Royal Development Group. There are also workshops built with great effort in each county. So he said, “I don’t want to be scolded by General Chang and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. If I make a mistake, I will not only let down the people, but also lose my military cap.” Chen Hu chuckled twice. He was just like a child who got a new toy and wanted to show off in front of the Beidi people. But when it comes to the war itself, he dare not act recklessly. The most important thing is that after this period of investigation, they have figured out the real intention of the Beidi. Songyang Pass, Xiao Pass, and Ningjin Dusi are just smoke bombs. The real danger is on the other side of the Hetao. Some time ago, when the weather was not so cold, Chang Wei gave them a plan to defend the narrow river section. But now that the weather has changed suddenly, they have to adapt to the situation and ask for the implementation of the second plan. That is to request support from the Xuanwu Army and the Central Army. “Then send a telegram to Yancheng.” Chen Hu put away his smile and said seriously. Ma Han nodded and turned back to the house. The wired telegraph war in the Yongzhou government office. Through the telegraph station, they can contact Yancheng at any time. …
Yancheng.
Ma Han’s telegram was sent out, and the military department of Wuji Palace received it.
The telegraph operator translated Ma Han’s request.
Yang Feng left for the palace.
Obviously, the heavy snow spread to the north at almost the same time.
Chang Wei has set off for Yongzhou.
He must report to the King of Yan immediately so that the King of Yan can make strategic adjustments.
“I estimate that we have to send more troops to Yongzhou.” Zhao Xu took the telegram and glanced at it, and said, “You should immediately requisition the steam locomotive and transport troops to Yongzhou.”
One of the reasons why Chang Wei remained calm before was that the north could quickly mobilize troops because of the railway.
Therefore, there is no need to place the army in Yongzhou in advance, which will only increase consumption.
If an emergency occurs, they can let the Xuanwu Army arrive in Yongzhou within three days.
The Central Army can assemble in Yongzhou in just two days.
There is no need to worry about transportation capacity.
Usually, a steam locomotive normally carries about 1,500 people.
This is the case when passengers are seated strictly according to their seats.
During wartime, a steam locomotive can carry three times as many people, about 5,000 people.
“Yes, Your Highness, I will go back and arrange it.” Yang Feng responded and left the study.
Watching Yang Feng leave, Zhao Xu said to Feng’er, “During this period, you keep an eye on the telegraph station in front of the palace, and send the news to the study immediately. I will command this war in the study.”
Feng’er nodded and smiled, “This wired telegraph is really good. In the future, Your Highness will not need to go to the battlefield to understand the situation on the battlefield and command the war.”
Like Yang Susu, she and Luan’er naturally did not want Zhao Xu to be in a dangerous battlefield every time.
But they could not stop it.
Now there is something that allows the King of Yan to command across thousands of miles in the study, so they are naturally very happy.
After that, she happily went to the front yard and greeted the telegraph station.
Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.
Then, he took out a blueprint and spread it on the table. Based on the information provided by the four academies, he marked the forces and deployment directions of Dasong, Beidi, Jiaozhi, Piaoman and the Western Land Coalition on the blueprint.
This siege is like a chain reaction.
If the Jin River in the Hetao Plain freezes ahead of schedule and over a large area due to this cold wave.
War will be imminent.
