Iron Dynasty

Chapter 774

A faint yellow afterglow fell into Yazhou City from the western sky.

On the street, the musketeers carried their muskets and marched neatly towards Songzhou City. They had just ended their ambush against the two barbarians.

Now they can't rest, and they have to continue to hunt down the remaining 30,000 people.

At this time, the morale of the soldiers was high. Seeing that all the invaders were about to be wiped out, they already had the joy of victory in their hearts.

Luo Quan did not set out with Lu Fei and Qi Guangyi. He would be responsible for the custody of the prisoners in Yazhou City. Today, the ambush battle outside the city was very beautiful.

In addition to the barbarian cavalry, 50,000 barbarian slave soldiers were captured, and he and Diying would prevent these slaves from causing chaos in the rear.

Originally, he could have killed these people like the barbarians in Songzhou City, but his reason finally made him choose to keep these prisoners.

This time, Bashu was damaged so badly by these people that it is better to leave them as lifelong hard labor to serve in Bashu than to kill them.

Of course, this was only aimed at ordinary barbarian soldiers, and none of those barbarian generals could escape the judgment of the Great Yu Kingdom.

Watching Lu Fei lead the soldiers away, Luo Quan said to Di Ying: "Send Bodo's body and the rest of the barbarian generals to Qingzhou, and ask the emperor to judge."

"Yes, General."

Di Ying responded, he led the soldiers to drive all the barbarian generals into the prison cart, and sent soldiers to send these people to Yizhou, and then from Yizhou to Qingzhou by boat.

...

Songzhou City.

Facing the trench in front of him, Archie frowned. Although he lost a lot of scouts, there was still a group of scouts who returned to tell them about Yazhou City.

Knowing that Yazhou City had been breached, Aqige and even Bodo had no chance of surviving. After the round with the remaining two 10,000-strong teams, they went straight to Songzhou, which they thought was weak in defense, and prepared to return to the grasslands.

Archie had long been dissatisfied with Hakata's greedy character, and his plans before departure were all messed up by Hakata.

It's just that this time they are led by Hakata and they can only obey orders, but since Hakata is either dead or captured, he can no longer take care of him.

Winter is coming soon, and if they can't bring the looted food back to the grasslands, they will kill more people this winter.

Thinking of this, Archie's eyes became fierce, and he shouted loudly: "Dismount, we must take Songzhou City."

Now he only has cavalry under his command, but cavalry cannot attack the city, so he can only order the soldiers to abandon their horses and attack the city on foot.

When he decided to come to Songzhou, he judged that there must be not many people defending here, because most of them were in Yazhou to encircle and suppress Hakata.

Looking at the soldiers on the city wall that were not very dense, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, maybe he could return to the grassland this time.

But he soon discovered something was wrong. After his soldiers charged, layers of muskets suddenly protruded from the trench in front of the city gate.

With the sound of "bang bang", the barbarian soldiers who charged fell in batches, and at this time the soldiers on the city wall were also shooting from a long distance.

The bullets flew, and the barbarian cavalry were like moths to the flames, but no matter how fierce they were, the soldiers who hadn't touched the Great Yu Kingdom often fell on the road to charge.

At this moment, the expedition musket gave full play to its long-range advantage. The soldiers in the trenches and the soldiers on the city wall covered and shot each other, and the barbarian soldiers suffered heavy losses for a while.

Archie was stunned, and the first 4,000 soldiers who charged all fell before reaching the ditch.

His body was trembling, and then he ordered the second batch of soldiers to charge. Now he has no way out. If Songzhou City is not broken, he will never be able to return to the grasslands.

It's just that the 5,000 people who charged this time repeated the fate of the first wave of soldiers. In the intensive shooting, these brave enough barbarian soldiers still fell in a pool of blood.

In an hour's time, two consecutive attacks failed, and Archie was cold.

The Da Yu army he encountered this time was obviously different from the past. The advantage of this weapon made him have no way to win.

Looking at Songzhou City in silence, Aqige glanced desperately at the remaining barbarian cavalry, and he reined his horse and went in the direction of Chang'an.

The remaining barbarian cavalry followed closely.

A day after Aqige left, Qi Guangyi led his cavalry to the city of Songzhou.

Looking at the corpses of the barbarian soldiers in front of Songzhou City, he realized that he was late.

"General, the cavalry hunters have been following the barbarians, and they are heading towards Chang'an." A soldier reported to Qi Guangyi.

Hearing this, Qi Guangyi snorted angrily and said, "They are seeking their own way. Their horses have no forage to eat. I see how far they can go."

After all, he led his troops to chase after him, and met a cloud of dust in front of Songzhou City. The number of remaining barbarian cavalry was not enough to be afraid of, which made Qi Guangyi even more bold.

When Qi Guangyi continued to encircle and suppress the barbarian cavalry, the Songzhou City defender also sent the news to Yazhou City.

Knowing that the remaining barbarian cavalrymen were still fleeing, he frowned, and then he called a cavalry hunter general and said, "Send three teams of cavalry hunters immediately, and one of them will go to Yizhou, and tell the people along the way, With the head of the barbarian soldiers, they can go to each state government to receive a reward of fifty taels. The other team goes to Chang'an to spread the news. The remaining team goes directly to Juyongguan to notify Luo Hong and let him send cavalry to search for the remaining barbarian cavalry. ."

"Yes, General." The cavalry general responded and walked out.

Luo Quan waved his hand and asked him to quickly convey the order.

The only reason why he did this was to completely eliminate the barbarian soldiers in Bashu. Although they captured a lot of barbarian soldiers in yesterday's war, some soldiers were still at large.

Bashu is very big, and these barbarian soldiers can be anywhere, so only by asking the common people to find the participating barbarian cavalry can they quickly eliminate those remaining soldiers in one fell swoop.

And going to Chang'an is also a reason. There are more wealthy families there, and they will be happy to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the current emperor.

After ordering this matter, Luo Quan planned to rest for three days before returning to Qingzhou. The army was exhausted outside, and Bashu suffered this disaster again. He was unwilling to add another burden to this place.

At the same time, Lu Fei naturally fluttered outside the city of Songzhou. According to the predetermined plan, he continued to lead his troops to the north. What happened? After resting in Chang'an, return to Jinling City.

However, in order to prevent the Tubos and barbarians from coming to Songzhou again, this time he decided to have the musketeers led by Di Ying stationed in Songzhou City and wait for the Yizhou government to train a group of soldiers before replacing them.
