Chapter 977: Helpless

Northern Di camp. Reading

Mule Hongzhen and six other kings of the royal tents, including Bamudan, are discussing the attack on Lingwu County in the Khan's tent.

Everyone looked serious, still frightened by the bombardment they suffered during the day.

At this time, King Ram of the Bronze Bull Royal Tent said, "If we don't take advantage of this siege to destroy Dasong and kill the King of Yan, in the future, my Northern Di..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.

"Ram is right. Every time we think we have caught up with Dasong in muskets and artillery, they always come up with new muskets and artillery. If this goes on, I don't know what terrible things will appear. This time we must defeat Dasong." King Gebu of the Scimitar Royal Tent said.

His father, Sagoer, was hit by a cannonball and died tragically when he went to Yanguan with Mule Hongzhen for the first time.

After that, he inherited his father's position.

It can be said that the King of Yan had a grudge against him for killing his father.

"So, this time we must take Lingwu County at all costs. Even if 590,000 people die out of 600,000, as long as we enter Qinzhou, we will win." Bamudan said.

In this battle, the King of Yan will certainly gather most of his troops in Yongzhou.

Destroying Yongzhou is equivalent to destroying the King of Yan's troops in the north.

Qinguan, which leads to Sizhou from Qinzhou, and Wuguan, which leads to Jingzhou, are internal passes, and not many soldiers will be stationed there.

The kings of the other three kings nodded and agreed with Bamudan and his three men.

To them, the King of Yan is like a tiger in the mountains.

And it is a tiger that is constantly growing.

Even if it is dangerous to hunt this tiger now, it must be hunted.

Otherwise, when he is really invincible, they will only be eaten by the tiger.

"You are not worthy of being selected by me personally. This is the blood of us Beidi people." Mulehong was really excited.

The bombardment during the day not only did not make them feel frustrated, but aroused their fighting spirit.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly shone through the gap in the tent.

Looking at the white light on the tent, Mule Hongzhen and the kings of the royal tent were all startled and left the tent.

Just to the south of the camp, a dazzling white ball of light was slowly falling from the sky with a tail of smoke, as bright as a sun.

And the place where the sun shone was the location where the Beidi soldiers were digging trenches.

Although it was very blurry, they could see that the Beidi soldiers digging trenches at this moment also stopped.

Even many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"What is this?" Mule Hongzhen felt that the hair on his body stood up.

From childhood to him, he had never seen such a weird thing.

The others also opened their mouths in surprise.

After a while, Bamudan suddenly said, "It must be a good omen from Changshengtian. This time we will definitely defeat the Dasong army."

After that, he began to laugh.

However, his smile soon solidified on his face.

"Boom boom boom..." A thunderous explosion came from the direction of the Dasong army.

Then, they saw the Beidi soldiers under the light were covered by artillery fire, and flames rose.

After one white light in the sky went out, another one would rise into the sky, getting closer and closer to their tents, exposing more Beidi soldiers digging trenches.

Similarly, these Beidi soldiers also suffered ruthless bombardment.

The originally quiet night was immediately filled with explosions, screams, and crying.

Mule Hongzhen and others were stunned, especially Bamudan.

After observing for a while, he finally understood that this was not a blessing from Changshengtian to them.

This thing that can illuminate the sky seems to be from the Dasong army, just like the hot air balloon in the past.

"This war will not be over for a while." Mule Hongzhen narrowed his eyes.

In this way, he can only dig trenches from ten miles away to Lingwu County.

After a pause, he continued, "But this little setback will not change the outcome of the war!"

After saying that, he snorted angrily and turned to enter the tent.

Bamudan and other kings looked at each other with complicated expressions.

With this thing, they not only could not dig trenches at night, but also could not launch night attacks in the future.

This war has become a little more difficult for them.

However, although they were worried, their fighting spirit was not affected.

As they said in the tent, Beidi had no way out.

Only by winning this war can Beidi return to its former peak state.

Thinking of this, they also entered the Khan's tent and asked the soldiers to withdraw.

Instead of letting them die in vain, it is better to leave them to dig trenches tomorrow.

Unlike Mulehong who was really angry.

At this moment, the central army trench was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Generals such as Bai Shang and Huo An laughed at the Beidi soldiers who fled in embarrassment.

"These Beidi people thought that they could defeat us in this siege by begging for some muskets and artillery from the Westerners and receiving training from Western officers. It's just a fantasy." Bai Shang said.

"They probably don't know that the Westerners they admired were beaten and fled in panic by the Marines in the south." Huo An added.

The two looked at each other and spit in the direction of the Beidi camp at the same time.

If it weren't for fighting a defensive battle and reducing the casualties of the soldiers, they would have taken the initiative to charge and would not have given Beidi the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

However, for them, this is not bad.

Let's play a cat and mouse game first.

After exhausting the Northern Di, they tore the Northern Di army apart in one go.

On the second day, there was still a confrontation.

Under the order of Mulehongzhen, the soldiers dug trenches at the entrance of the tent and approached Lingwu County.

Observing this scene, Bai Shang just asked the soldiers to take normal precautions.

He waited for the Northern Di people to dig trenches to the opposite side of their trenches.

In this way, he could kill a large number of the invading Northern Di soldiers and horses.

…

While the tense confrontation in Lingwu County.

The Central Army led by Ulanba and the Eastern Army led by Ashur also arrived in Yulin County and Dingyuan County successively.

Due to the lack of understanding of the artillery of the Dasong army.

They all placed their troops too close and were bombarded.

The result was naturally similar to the situation in Lingwu County.

Ulanba and Ashur both suffered losses in artillery.

However, Ashur, like Mulehongzhen, adopted the tactic of digging trenches to confront and consume.

But Ulanba was not so lucky.

Dingyuan County is located in a valley among the mountains, where trenches cannot be dug.

So after the attack was frustrated, the Northern Di army led by Ulanba could only retreat with 30,000 Russian troops to the out-of-range of the artillery, and was at a loss.

Finally, after Ulanba and Negov discussed, they believed that it was impossible to break through Dingyuan County.

So they decided to give up the attack on Dingyuan County, and the army retreated to Lingwu County, and took Lingwu County together with the Western Army.

This was also what his father Khan told him.

Moreover, they divided their troops into three routes, and they were only trying to break through three routes, but in the end they only needed to break through one route.
