Chapter 408: Dark Clouds over Yanshan

Grassland. Reading

After Chen Hu, Zhongli and his soldiers also found the camp of the Beidi tribe.

At this time, the soldiers in the tribal camp were gathering.

Seeing this scene, Zhongli immediately asked the soldiers to hide.

Suddenly, all the soldiers immediately let the horses lie down on the ground. This is one of the skills they usually train. At this time, all the horses were lying on the grass, and the soldiers were holding the horses' necks.

Observing the assembled Beidi soldiers with a telescope, he saw the Beidi soldiers leave one after another. After waiting for another hour, Zhongli said: "Get on the horse!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately got up with their horses, turned over and got on the horses, and the sabers in their hands were unsheathed.

At this time, there were only a few Beidi soldiers left in the tribe, which was more than enough to deal with them.

"Attack!" Zhongli roared, leading the charge towards the defenseless Beidi camp, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves came. At this time, the Beidi people looked at the cavalry in silver-white armor.

At this moment, they were all stunned, because no enemy had ever dared to appear on the grassland.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the palace roared in unison, releasing the fury in their hearts.

Over the years, countless people in the four northern counties have died tragically at the hands of the Black Iron King's Tent.

Today, they want to pay blood debts with blood.

...

The Black Iron King's Tent, where the king's tent is.

Enko had no idea that the backyard had caught fire. The cavalry of the palace that attacked their tribe did not leave any survivors, so no news came here.

And the Beidi soldiers who gathered from various tribes to the king's tent were about to launch an attack on the Yanshan Bastion.

So after leaving their respective tribes, they camped near the king's tent and could not get any news from the tribe.

"My king, all the soldiers of the tribe have arrived and can attack Yan County at any time." In front of the king's tent, Wolf Record Gordan bent down to Enko.

Enko nodded, his eyes resting on the twenty bronze cannons in front of him.

This was given to them by Ulanba for the Black Iron King's Tent.

It was to enable them to successfully capture the fortress blocking the entrance to Yanshan Mountain.

Because only by removing these fortresses can their cavalry enter Yan County, pin down the forces of the King of Yan, and allow the king's tents that came south from Goryeo to land smoothly in Yanguan Liao County.

Of course, this can also provide cover for the Beidi soldiers hiding in the Yuan family and create opportunities for them to sneak into Yanguan.

He believed that the King of Yan would be in a mess with the three fires, and they could win in the chaos.

Moreover, their Khan will fight with Xiliang and the Northern Expedition Army of Dasong in the northwest. The King of Yan cannot get any support, and the mere 120,000 troops are simply impossible to deal with the attack of their four kings.

"Ulanba Daxing has ordered two kings to arrive at the city of Yanguan, and another king is led by him personally and went to Goryeo. Before Daxing goes south from the sea, we must attack Yan County and turn the four northern counties of the King of Yan upside down." Enke said.

The two kings went to Yanguan in order to let the King of Yan concentrate his forces at Yanguan.

In this way, the forces left by the King of Yan at Yanshankou will inevitably be less.

They will be able to take down the fortresses at the mouth of Yanshan Mountain more easily.

"Yes, my king." The generals roared in unison upon hearing this.

The Black Iron King's Tent had suffered too much humiliation at the hands of the King of Yan. After washing away this humiliation, they could not let go of this opportunity again.

Even if they paid any price, they would attack Yan County this time.

Enke nodded, "As the saying goes, it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt the index finger. There are five fortresses at the mouth of Yanshan Mountain. If we divide our troops, they will only be defeated one by one. Moreover, the power of our twenty artillery pieces will be greatly reduced if they are separated. So I decided to focus on attacking the fortress at Qingfengkou."

Among the five mountain passes in Yanshan Mountain, the mountain road leading to Qingfengkou is the widest and easiest to march.

It is undoubtedly the most valuable.

"My king, we will listen to you in everything. Now we just want to chop off the heads of the King of Yan's soldiers." A wolf record shouted.

Enke laughed, "Okay, in that case, we will go to Qingfengkou tomorrow and take down the fortress built by the King of Yan at all costs."

This time the Black Iron King's Tent had no choice.

It was not only the honor of the Black Iron Tent, but the Khan also gave them a death order.

Even if the Black Iron Tent fought to the last man, they would die on the way to the attack, because even if they could not take the fortress, they would consume the troops of the King of Yan.

After all, this was a great opportunity for the Northern Di to regain the Great Song.

The next day.

Under the command of Enke, the troops of the Black Iron Tent entered Yanshan one after another.

Because the Yanshan Mountain Road was narrow and long, only three people could march in parallel, which made it difficult to march and would stretch the team very long.

So Enke ordered 30,000 people to set off first, and the remaining 70,000 people stayed in the king's tent. Once the battle in front was unfavorable, the 70,000 soldiers would immediately reinforce.

After all, even if everyone was crowded in Yanshan, the soldiers behind would have to wait when the battle started. If the team was too long, it would be easy to trample due to defeat.

"Captain, the Northern Di army went to Qingfengkou, and there was no danger in the other four mountain roads." Twenty miles outside the Black Iron Tent, when Enke sent troops, a team of 200 cavalry from the royal palace drove their war horses.

They were all Chen Hu's subordinates.

The cavalryman who reported back had a telescope hanging around his neck, pointing to the king's tent.

In order not to be discovered by the soldiers of the Black Iron King's Tent, they kept using telescopes to observe along the way, and they would only pass if they were sure that there were no enemies within dozens of miles around.

Most importantly, the Northern Di people had never expected them to appear on the grassland, and basically had no defense, and there were few Northern Di cavalry patrolling.

"Great, so we can easily transport the war horses back. After we rob the cattle and sheep, we will drive them back to Yan County." The cavalry captain looked at the five or six thousand war horses surrounded by the soldiers with a smug look on his face.

Then he whipped his horse whip and headed for Yanshan.

...

Qingfengkou Bastion.

The scouts kept sending news, and the news that the Black Iron King's tent had sent troops could not be concealed from Chang Wei.

He learned the news the day after the Black Iron King's tent sent troops.

In fact, the distance from Yan County to the Black Iron pasture is very close, and it only takes a day's journey.

It's just that the Yanshan Mountains that are across the road make this section of the road seem very difficult.

But individual scout cavalry can still travel back and forth quickly.

"The ones who are supposed to come are still here, but they don't seem to have found Chen Hu and Zhongli yet." Chang Wei said excitedly.

"This is because they left no survivors." Zhao Xu said.

He did not go back. He has been inspecting the five bastions and arranging defenses these days.

For him, the importance of the bastions is no less than that of Yanguan.

Once the bastion was breached, the Northern Di cavalry entered in large numbers, and his Jianye in the four northern counties would be reduced to ashes under the iron hoofs of the Northern Di.

So after the two Northern Di kings appeared at Yanguan, he sent 60,000 troops to defend, and then he decided to sit in the bastion to resist the Black Iron King.

"Hehe, in this case, we will delay them and let Chen Hu and Zhongli do their best to harm them." Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said.

A sneer appeared on Zhao Xu's mouth. This was his purpose. This time, he wanted to destroy the Black Iron King from the root.

When Enke returned, he would find that the Black Iron King was finished.

"But this battle will not be so easy, let the soldiers cheer up." Zhao Xu said.

He gave 60,000 people in Yanguan and 20,000 people in Jinghai County. While these 20,000 people were guarding against pirates, they were actually guarding against the Yuan family.

So he only had 40,000 soldiers and horses in Wu'an County. 40,000 against 100,000, the difference in strength was more than twice.

Chang Wei knew what King Yan meant and nodded solemnly.
