Become a feudal king from today - #962 - Chapter 974 Red Snow
“Zhizhizhi…”
This is the sound of horse hooves on the snow. ReadМ
Mulehongzhen issued an order, and 10,000 Beidi cavalry, led by Lang Lu, headed to the southwest of Dukou Village.
By this time, the heavy snow had stopped, but the sky was still overcast and the wind was freezing.
After half an hour of trekking, they arrived at Dukou Village.
The name of Dukou Village is very straightforward. It is called this because it is the narrowest section of the Jin River.
People on both sides of the Jin River want to communicate with each other, so they call a ferry to cross the river here.
But now, Duhe Village is quiet. The village is filled with thick snow. There are no human footprints, only traces of wild beasts.
Before the Beidi army arrived, the people here evacuated.
At the same time, mines were laid in the village and on nearby roads.
“Dong dong dong…”
As the Beidi cavalry crossed the river, the creaking sound turned into a muffled drum-like sound.
The Beidi cavalry crossed the river.
The first group of cavalrymen to cross the river was a group of more than a hundred people, and they immediately came to Dukou Village.
At this moment, these Beidi cavalrymen all looked fierce, holding the scimitars in their hands tightly.
Now, they just want to kill every Dasung person they see.
To them, these bugs deserve to be crushed to death.
But these bugs actually bit them, killing their respected King Temuta.
Several wars also destroyed their royal tents one after another, causing countless Beidi warriors to die tragically.
Some of these Beidi warriors are their brothers and some are their fathers.
They have a deep hatred, and this time they want to get it back.
Mobilizing their war horses, they were eager to kill the village and wanted to vent their anger by killing people.
But just when this group of cavalry arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a sudden thunder on the ground.
A cavalryman’s horse stepped on a mine, and a ball of fire burst out from beneath their feet, sending mud and smoke flying.
Red blood and minced meat sprinkled down like raindrops, dyeing the snow on the ground red.
The explosion directly killed eight cavalrymen closest to the center of the explosion, and seventeen more were wounded.
Some of the war horses were surprised and ran away from the cavalry in the direction of Jinhe River.
After the explosion, the only sounds left at the entrance to the village were the wails of Beidi’s injured cavalry and the screams of war horses.
“Damn it!” Lang Lu, who was crossing the river, cursed when he saw this scene and immediately told his cavalry to stop marching.
King Ashur’s leg was destroyed by this kind of firearm that could explode underground.
There are examples, so they naturally have some understanding of this kind of firearm.
There is no doubt that King Yan’s army laid mines in Dukou Village to prevent them from crossing the river.
And he finally understood why there was no army of King Yan stationed here.
“Lord Langlu, what should we do now?” A Beidi general looked angry, “Dasong’s army is really despicable and shameless. They can only play these mean tricks.”
“Report to Khan, our precious cavalry cannot be wasted here and let the servants go on their way.” Lang Lu ordered.
The general responded and immediately led a group of cavalry back to Yinshan.
When Mule Hongzhen learned about this, he hesitated for a while and rejected the matter.
“Even servant soldiers are very important now and cannot be wasted casually. Obviously, the Jin River is very long. It is impossible for Dasong’s army to lay mines near every river section. They must have only laid mines near the narrowest section of the river. After waiting another three to five days, more rivers would freeze, and their tactics would fail,” Mullerhonzhen said.
Ashur nodded, “Yes, the Dasong Army’s plan finally failed. God chose to help us this time.”
In another five days, the cavalry patrolling both sides of the Jin River brought another section of the river that was passable.
These river sections are widely distributed, with hundreds of them.
On this day, Mule Hongzhen ordered all the Beidi army to march towards Yongzhou.
After breaking away from the stronghold, more than a million Beidi soldiers divided into three groups and marched towards Yongzhou.
Among them, Muller Hongzhen personally led 300,000 Beidi cavalry and 350,000 infantry on the west route towards Lingwu County.
Ashur commanded 150,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry and marched towards Yulin County.
The remaining 80,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry were led by Ulanba, and marched towards Dingyuan County with the 30,000 Russian infantry.
After discussion, they believed that the Russian infantry was more suitable for mountain warfare.
The mighty army set off, with long black dragons winding on the white snow.
The cavalry went in front and the infantry walked behind. At the same time, the infantry were also responsible for driving cattle and sheep.
For this battle, Beidi has scrimped on food and clothing in the past two years and saved a lot of cattle and sheep, just for this battle.
On the battlefield, no matter where they went, they could slaughter cattle and sheep for meat on the spot.
at the same time.
The Xuanwu Army, the Central Army, and the White Tiger Army all arrived at the garrison location and dug trenches and fortifications at the same time.
Chen Hu sent out one lancer patrol to the direction of Jinhe to conduct reconnaissance.
The Beidi army came out in full force, and the news was quickly sent to Ma Han, Bai Shang and the commander of the Xuanwu Army, Di Ying.
The three armies are all waiting for work, waiting for the war to come.
Yongcheng.
Chang Wei also got this information.
Looking at the sand table, he snorted coldly, “Mu Lehongzhen, it was easy for you to come this time, but it’s not that easy to leave.”
Then, he asked people to send information about the battlefield to the Yancheng Palace.
After Zhao Xu received the news, he immediately marked Beidi’s troop deployment on the drawing.
This time Chang Wei’s arrangement was correct.
Mule Hongzhen naturally knew the importance of Lingwu County, so he concentrated the strongest soldiers and the largest number of troops.
The victory or defeat of this war lies only with Lingwu County.
So, he only replied with three words, got it.
I will not accept your order from the outside king.
He didn’t want to interfere too much with Chang Wei’s command, because it would make the command more confusing.
Three days later.
The army led by Mule Hongzhen arrived in the north of Lingwu County.
Sitting on the horse, he picked up his binoculars and observed the trench fortifications in front of Lingwu County for a while, with a firm gaze and no fear at all.
In this battle, he had already risked his life, and his generals and soldiers also drank blood wine and swore an oath.
He knew very well that the current Dasong army was difficult to deal with, and the Dasong army relying on trench fortifications was even more difficult to deal with.
But this is not a reason to stop him from going south.
Because he had no choice but to tear a gash in Da Song’s back.
In this way, they can finally win the entire war.
“Our strength should be five times theirs.” Under observation, Muller Hongzhen said slowly. This was good news for him.
“The number of Dasong’s troops in other places will only be smaller.” Acting with Mule Hongzhen were six kings from the six royal accounts.
At this time, Bamutuo, the king of the Blood Wolf King’s tent who was guarding the Khan’s court, narrowed his eyes. “Just as Khan thought, Dasong’s army was partially restrained by the south and was unable to do anything. This victory will belong to us.”
