Chapter 1082 Siege
Grassland.
When the Central Army was making intensive arrangements.
Chen Hu and his party appeared near the Northern Di Khan Court.
"General, the Northern Di Khan Court has not migrated, and the troops of other royal tents are gathering towards the Khan Court." A team of cavalry responsible for reconnaissance returned and reported the situation to Chen Hu.
Chen Hu looked at Zhong Fang and sneered, "The Northern Di people are going to fight with us in the Khan Court."
"Then it makes sense that other royal tents suddenly migrated to the Khan Court." Zhong Fang said. .
In theory, the Northern Di King's Tent exists to protect the Khan Court.
What they have to do is to fight with the Great Song Lancers like the Silver Moon King's Tent, or lead the Lancers to circle around on the grassland like the Blood Wolf King's Tent.
Suddenly, they no longer entangled with the Lancers, but went to the Khan Court together, which was naturally very strange.
It is probably the same as Chen Hu's judgment.
"And they also dug a vast trench around the Khan's court and placed artillery. We were shot at by the enemy's rifles." The cavalry general in charge of reconnaissance continued.
As he spoke, he opened his palm, which contained a conical lead bullet. Although the craftsmanship was rougher than the previous conical bullets of Dasong, it was indeed a conical bullet used by rifles.
These days, the pursuit of the Beidi people from south to north made the lancers very confident. Not only were they no longer afraid of the Beidi cavalry, but they had established a psychological advantage.
This also made the lancers' actions much bolder than before.
In order to find out the intelligence of the Beidi Khan's court, the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance once approached the Beidi trench fortifications about 300 meters.
It can be said to be very bold.
It was for this reason that they were attacked by the enemy.
However, as a result, they also had a deeper understanding of the Beidi's arrangements.
Obviously, the current Beidi army is equipped with a large number of rifled guns.
"The range and power of the carbine are not much better than the rifle. If we attack rashly, even if we can win, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses." Zhong Fang clenched his fist and looked at Chen Hu.
He was very annoyed. They wanted to take down the Northern Di Khan Court with the force of the Lancers.
Although this was the wish of their Lancers from top to bottom, there was no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain.
At present, the Dasong army is already a mature army, and every general will not ignore the casualties of the army because of personal achievements.
"I can only ask the army to cooperate." Chen Hu's expression was indifferent.
Although he had some setbacks like Zhong Fang, the war in the southern region was not fought independently by the army and navy, but also the result of the cooperation between the two armies.
In the future, Dasong's foreign wars will see more and more cooperation between the various armies.
The entire Dasong army is a whole, not an independent individual.
Thinking of this, he was relieved.
Then he said to Zhong Fang, "Fighting a tough battle is not what our cavalry is good at, so we will clear the way for the army and control other areas of the grassland outside the Northern Di Khan Court to wait for the arrival of the army."
After a pause, he continued, "Now you send someone back to Tongguan to report the situation to the Defense Department."
"Yes, General." Zhong Fang replied.
Although they were troubled by the trenches of the Northern Di, for the Lancers, the grassland was like water to fish.
With their strength, the grassland was just a forbidden area for the Lancers and the Northern Di Cavalry.
Under their protection, the Dasong army could march safely on the grassland.
Not long after, Zhong Fang's people went south.
For the next three days, they continued to linger around the Khan Court, monitoring the every move of the Northern Di.
On the fourth day, the Lancers led by Xue Jian also returned from the west and joined Chen Hu and Zhong Fang.
Seeing Chen Hu, Xue Jian immediately reported his battle situation in the west to Chen Hu.
"Tusman cavalry?" Chen Hu frowned when he learned that Xue Jian had encountered Tusman cavalry.
Before, they only got intelligence that under the conspiracy of Russia and Britain, Beidi ceded the Tianshan area to the Tusman Empire.
Now Xue Jian and his party encountered Tusman cavalry and fought a battle, and the matter was confirmed.
"Let's not worry about him for now. Let's deal with the Beidi people first, and then we will deal with them. All kinds of cats and dogs want to come up and bite our Dasong, and they don't even consider their own weight." Chen Hu snorted angrily.
"That's right, when the time comes, we will not only let them spit out the Tianshan territory, but also cut them into pieces." Xue Jian echoed, "Dasong is prosperous today, and we should revive the legacy of the Wu Dynasty."
More than a thousand years ago, the Central Plains Dynasty also had an extremely glorious period.
At that time, the grassland under their feet and even the far west of the Tianshan Mountains were the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
Since then, successive dynasties in the Central Plains have not been able to reproduce the civil and military achievements of the Wu Dynasty, and they have only huddled in the heart of the Central Plains.
And now, after the decline of Dasong, they finally rose to the sky under Emperor Zhao Xu.
Every general knew that an era greater than the Wu Dynasty was coming.
This was the glorious era of Dasong, and also the glorious era of every general.
If we don't take advantage of this time to make achievements and leave our names in history, when will we wait?
"Well said." Zhong Fang felt a surge of blood.
The three looked at each other and laughed.
In the next few days, the three besieged the Khan's court in three directions and patrolled the grassland at the same time.
Relying on the cattle and sheep they intercepted, they were also leisurely and comfortable.
On the seventh day, the cavalry they sent out came back and brought information from the same pass.
"The Central Army has gathered at Tongguan. General Chang Wei will lead the expedition in person. They should have set out now." The cavalry said to Chen Hu.
Chen Hu nodded, "The general is here in person, and he is leading the Central Army. The Beidi people can only wait for death."
After that, he said to Xue Jian and Zhong Fang, "You let your cavalry strengthen patrols to prevent Beidi cavalry from sneaking into the south and hindering the supply line."
He said "hinder" instead of "threat", because he did not think that the Beidi cavalry could still cause any harm to the Dasong army, even the infantry.
Besides, the Central Army has its own cavalry.
However, since the grassland is the territory of their Western Regions Protectorate, if the Central Army is attacked, it will be a slap in the face of their Western Regions Protectorate.
How can he have the face to run the Western Regions Protectorate in the future.
"General, don't worry, I won't let a fly slip in. "Xue Jian and Zhong Fang said at the same time.
After that, the two turned around and left, returning to their respective military deployment tasks.
Chen Hu watched the two leave, his eyes surrendered to the position of the Northern Di Khan Court, and fell into deep thought.
These days he has been thinking about one thing, that is, the Western Region Protectorate should also establish a limited army.
Otherwise, facing this situation, it would be a bit troublesome.
While General Chang Wei led the army to fight in person, he wanted to report this matter.
Otherwise, facing the Tusman Empire next, I am afraid I will face a similar situation.
