"We won! We won..."

The Beidi cavalry fled in panic, and the soldiers in the chariot array burst into huge cheers. Read

The infantry held up their flintlock rifles, and the artillery stood in front of the artillery with their hands raised high.

The cavalry pointed their sabers to the sky.

This was their first time to go deep into the grassland, and it was also their first time to fight with such a large number of Beidi cavalry.

Before setting off, everyone knew that this would be a difficult battle, and they had the belief of dying on the battlefield in their hearts.

Now, they won, and it was a big win.

After years of miserable life of being plundered by Beidi, they finally raised their heads and got rid of this bad breath.

"Woo woo woo..."

The warm cheers were mixed with the faint crying of some soldiers.

They cried with joy, and the spirits of their relatives in heaven would be comforted at this moment.

Chang Wei's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Lu Chang, Qin Shan, Wei Qun and others.

These generals had tears in their eyes.

They cried because they loved their homeland in the four northern counties.

This victory made them realize that they had the ability to protect this land and the people on this land.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

At this time, Zhongli and Chen Hu led the cavalry back, their faces excited, waiting for Chang Wei's next order.

"You should immediately encircle and suppress all the tribes on the grassland of the Black Iron King's Tent. Take back all those that can be brought back to the four northern counties, and burn all those that cannot be brought back." Chang Wei waved his hand.

The Black Iron King's Tent was defeated. If they don't take the opportunity to seize their cattle, sheep, and horses, and rescue the people of Dasong who were enslaved by them, when will they wait?

"Yes, General!" The two took the order and left.

Then the cavalry rushed to the densely packed white tents in the north.

"Lü Chang, Qin Shan, Wei Qun, each of you will lead a part of the troops to cooperate with the cavalry. I will give you six days to return to the bastion fortress after six days." Chang Wei continued to give orders.

Six days is enough time for the cavalry of the Black Iron King's Tent to come with reinforcements.

Although he won this time, he was not blinded by the victory.

The victory was so smooth this time, firstly due to the harassment by Chen Hu and Zhongli, which angered the Black Iron King's Tent.

The Black Iron King's Tent got so excited that they chose to fight a decisive battle with them.

Secondly, the soldiers on the hot air balloon unexpectedly bombed Enke, causing the cavalry to go crazy and lose their way in fighting.

If they continue to go deep into the grassland, their food supply will be lengthened.

Once the Beidi reinforcements arrive, their cavalry can easily cut off their food supply and trap them in the grassland.

At that time, the royal palace's soldiers will be in a desperate situation.

Therefore, this time their goal is only to stop at the grassland of the Black Iron King's Tent.

This is also what the King of Yan told him before going to Yanguan.

Watching the cavalry rushing into the Beidi camp, Chang Wei looked at the soldiers who were groaning in the car formation.

Although their faces were painful, many soldiers had smiles on their faces.

He could understand the feelings of these soldiers.

They were not afraid of being injured or bleeding, but they were afraid that no one would lead them to victory.

And now, a person has taken root in their hearts.

This is the King of Yan.

Not only a soldier, he now also trusts the King of Yan immensely.

When the King of Yan chose him as the general, he might have had some utilitarianism.

But now, he loyally supports His Royal Highness the King of Yan until his death.

...

At this moment.

Yanguan.

Zhao Xu is looking at a vast expanse of white tents on the city wall.

These tents are two miles away from Yanguan and extend for more than ten miles.

In the tents, soldiers from the Northern Di come and go.

Because it is evening, wisps of smoke rise straight into the sky, and are dyed a bright red by the sunset.

After arriving at Yanguan, he has been waiting for news from the sea while checking the defense of Yanguan in the past few days.

At the same time, there are also the movements of the Yuan family.

After all, the black iron king's tent in Yanshan is just a small wave in this war.

Yanguan is the real goal of the Northern Di.

Once Yanguan is taken, the Northern Di can attack or defend from then on, and will be invincible.

"This time, the Northern Di are really aggressive. Fortunately, Your Highness noticed the Northern Di's conspiracy in advance, otherwise Yanzhou would be in danger this time." Mo Yu was beside Zhao Xu, holding a telescope in his hand.

This reconnaissance weapon is now basically in the hands of generals above the level of lieutenant.

In addition, it is allocated to scouts and soldiers responsible for investigation.

However, in order to prevent the telescope from falling into the hands of the Northern Di, the army requires that if there is a possibility of capture, the telescope must be destroyed immediately.

After a pause, he suddenly frowned again, "It's just that the war in the northwest is going so smoothly, it's really very strange."

Just now, people from the Fourth Academy came and delivered news of the war in the northwest.

The Northern Expedition Army successfully captured Wengcheng, and it was very easy to capture it.

"Now the Northern Expedition Army, from the emperor, the powerful generals to the soldiers, are all superstitious about the power of artillery. Taking Wengcheng will only make them more convinced of this, and this is very dangerous." Zhao Xu said bluntly.

Because the distance between Qinzhou and Yanzhou is about the same as the distance between Yanzhou and Jinling.

So this news is delayed, and he doesn't know what stage the war in the northwest has reached.

"Not to mention the emperor and the powerful families, even the generals and soldiers in the palace at that time were very superstitious about artillery, thinking that everything would be fine if they had artillery." Mo Yu smiled.

If it weren't for the King of Yan repeatedly emphasizing in the army that the fundamental of war is people, I'm afraid this impetuous atmosphere in the army will continue to grow.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, not to mention that Beidi now also has artillery.

Just talking about cavalry, before the appearance of machine guns and tanks, it has always been the king of field battles.

The high mobility of cavalry is unmatched by other arms.

This is also the reason why he ordered Chang Wei to stop his attack this time.

During an attack, the soldiers carry fixed provisions and ammunition.

When the ammunition is gone, the flintlocks and artillery become scrap metal. When the food and grass are used up, the soldiers will collapse without a fight.

This requires a steady stream of supplies to continue to maintain.

But the excessively long supply line was a fatal flaw exposed to the Beidi cavalry.

After all, his cavalry was unable to protect such a long supply line.

His four northern counties cannot recruit a large number of civilians in order to maintain such a long supply line.

This will seriously affect the development of the four counties.

"I hope the emperor can trust General Yang, otherwise this Northern Expedition will only be disastrous." Zhao Xu said lightly.

He could only say that Beidi Khan Mulehun was really a formidable opponent.

On the east and west sides, the Northern Expeditionary Army and he were unable to take care of each other and defeated each other.

He just didn't know what would happen to the Northern Expeditionary Army, but Beidi's plot in Yanzhou had no chance of succeeding.

The two were talking when a soldier hurried to the city wall and handed a letter to Zhao Xu.

"Your Highness, this is the news just sent from Jinghai County. There is movement in the navy of Goryeo." The team member said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu immediately tore open the envelope.

After a quick glance, he frowned, "After waiting for so long, Beidi is finally coming from the sea. It seems that the decisive battle between the east and west is coming."
