Chapter 22: Barbarian move westward

Jinzhou.
After a few days of rest and reorganization, the Northern Expedition Army marched towards Yingzhou, Raozhou, and Jianzhou according to Niu Ben's plan.
At the same time, news from the secret guard also spread to the general staff in Jinzhou.
"The barbarians are evacuating the people in the city." Niu Ben was a little surprised. This was the news just sent by the secret guard.
The secret guard who came to send the information said: "It's not wrong. The news comes from Shengdu. Now the Barbarian Khan has given orders to slaughter slaves and burn the city."
"Beast!" Niu Ben fiercely hit the table, and the barbarians after the defeat were more cruel and violent.
Out of the camp, Niu Ben called a team of cavalry hunters and said: "You immediately notify Luo Xin, Thunder and Niu Ben, let them speed up their march and occupy the three cities as soon as possible."
"Yes, General." The cavalry chasers turned and left, and they could still catch up not long after the army had set off.
After giving the order, Niu Ben turned around to return to the camp, when a team of cavalry suddenly arrived.
The cavalry stopped in front of Niu Ben and threw the five men on the horses to the ground. The leading cavalry company commander said: "General, we found five sneaky Japanese people while patrolling."
Niu Ben frowned slightly. He looked at the five people on the ground. These five were dressed as businessmen and were not tall. At first glance, they were not much different from the people of Dayu.
"Did they say anything?" Niu Ben asked.
The cavalry company commander depressed: "General, we asked, but we don't understand the bird language they said, so let the court send an interpreter."
"Qingzhou is too far away. It will take half a month to go back and forth. Now you go to Liaozhou and ask Ye Qingyun. He has been in Goryeo, and he will probably recognize a few people who know how to speak. After all, the pirates of Goryeo and Wa have been fighting together. "
The cavalry company commander responded and turned to Liaozhou. Jinzhou is very close to Liaozhou, and it only takes a day and a half to ride a horse.
Watching the cavalry leave, Niu Ben ordered: "Strictly take care of the five people and never let them die."
"Yes, General." The guard immediately led the five people down.
At the same time, the cavalry chasing out of the city chased the three-way army.
An hour later, Luo Xin, who went to Raozhou, received Niu Ben's order, and he immediately ordered to speed up to Raozhou City.
But in his opinion, even if he accelerates forward, he will only get an empty city by then, but the news of the secret guard is very timely, and there may be hope for racing against time.
Compared with Luo Xin's worries, the thunder when heading to Yingzhou is very calm, because Yingzhou is too close to them and too far from the barbarians, so they can easily arrive early.
And Lu Fei was more indifferent than the two, because Jianzhou was originally the most barren of the six cities. He didn't expect that Jianzhou City could provide any supplies. What the Great Yu Kingdom wanted was this city to show its sphere of influence. As a bridgehead to attack the grassland and open up north.
However, even so, Niu Ben's order had to be listened to, and he also gave the order to march quickly.
After his order was issued, the soldiers immediately started trotting. During the training of the recruits, the rapid march was a must-training item. In addition, there were also heavy-loaded attacks.
So facing the order, the soldiers were calm.
Three days later, the army led by Luo Xin appeared in Raozhou, which should have arrived in four days.
Qi Guangyi, who arrived first, said: "After the barbarian people evacuated from Raozhou city yesterday, the barbarian soldiers began to burn the city in the city. After our cavalry arrived, some of the barbarian cavalry evacuated Raozhou city without fighting us. Some of the barbarian cavalry and footsteps did not withdraw."
Luo Xin said: "Since the barbarians have moved westward, they will certainly not fight to the death with us in Raozhou City. Once the gate is broken, they will inevitably panic and run away. You will not be too late to send cavalry to hunt down."
Qi Guangyi nodded.
This time Niu Ben sent him to Raozhou City for a purpose. Now the city of the barbarians is basically taken away, and what is left is the barbarian tribes on the grassland. Then they will need their cavalry to expel these barbarian tribes. .
After all, the mobility of the cavalry on the grassland is too strong, and ordinary footsteps simply cannot keep up.
The two set up a battle plan. At this time, Luo Xin asked the artillery to put down the battle, and there was a burst of shelling against the gate of Raozhou City.
Under the power of the new type of shells, the gate of Raozhou City was vulnerable to a single blow, and two shells blasted the entire wooden gate to pieces.
"Blow the charge!" Luo Xin was confident. The victory of Jinzhou City made him see the fact that the barbarians are just paper tigers. Before absolute force, the barbarians can only retreat.
As soon as his words fell, the voice of the Charge horn sounded, and the morale soldiers rushed towards Raozhou City because of successive victories.
"Soldiers, we can sleep comfortably after taking down Raozhou City." Luo Xin shouted.
His words stimulated the soldiers marching in a hurry for three days, and they squeezed their last bit of strength into the city.
At this time, the barbarian soldiers in the city were already like frightened birds. The soldiers who had escaped from Jinzhou City described the firearms of the Dayu Kingdom as terrifying, and terrible legends about "earth fire" spread.
"Run, Da Yuguo is here."
Some barbarian soldiers ran away when they saw the soldiers of the Great Yu State with muskets. Now the tribesmen in the city have all withdrawn, and the remaining orders are massacre and burn.
But compared to their own lives, they are obviously unwilling to take the risk to slaughter those slaves who are as cheap as grass in their eyes.
"Boom, boom..."
The Da Yu country army entering the city was almost chasing the barbarian soldiers. After shooting at close range, they mounted the bayonet and rushed up.
At this time, both the number of soldiers and the combat effectiveness in Raozhou City were superior to that of Da Yu, facing a fierce offensive ~EbookFREE.me~The barbarian soldiers continued to withdraw from the east gate to the west gate.
Two hours later, Dayu's army fully occupied the city of Raozhou, but under the destruction of the barbarians, there was fire everywhere in the city, and the soldiers were again engaged in fire fighting operations.
Outside the city, Qi Guangyi had been waiting for the barbarian soldiers to escape from the city. He probably estimated that there were only more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers who escaped from the city.
And most of them are infantry.
Looking at the billowing smoke in the city, Qi Guangyi's eyes became cold, and he should treat the cruel barbarians equally.
"Kill, don't keep one!" Qi Guangyi urged to sit down on the horse, and one person rushed into the chaotic barbarian soldiers.
In an instant, the horses rushing at high speed directly smashed the barbarian soldiers into flight, and at the same time Qi Guangyi slashed left and right, the barbarian soldiers kept wailing before they died.
Behind him, thirty thousand cavalrymen rolled along the route of the barbarian soldiers' escape like a billowing torrent, leaving no piece of armor wherever they went.
