Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 976: Confrontation

"Boom boom boom..."

One shell after another exploded in the Beidi Army, bursting into flames, and blood, flesh and snow splashed at the same time.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, Beidi soldiers became chaotic and fled northward in a swarm.

The chaos caused the soldiers to huddle together.

A shell fell in a crowded place, sometimes as many as thirty people were killed.

The shelling and chaotic escape lasted for nearly half an hour.

The Central Army pursued them until they were out of artillery range.

When the Beidi soldiers within artillery range thinned out, the bombardment ceased.

"Check the casualties!" Muller Hongzhen escaped from the shelling range under the protection of Ba Mudan and other kings.

Looking at the five-mile road covered with the corpses of Beidi soldiers, his hand holding the reins kept shaking, and he was extremely angry.

Just now, he was high-spirited and determined to conquer Lingwu County.

But now he is running away in a desperate state of embarrassment.

The huge contrast made him feel that he had been severely humiliated by the Dasong army.

Bamudan and others were equally disgraced.

It can only be said that they were lucky to escape the range of the artillery fire alive.

If there were no soldiers to guard them tightly in the middle, they would be injured at all costs.

After receiving Mule Hongzhen's order, Bamudan and others immediately sent their subordinates, the Wolf Lus, to integrate the army.

After another half hour, the wolf recorders returned one after another and reported the number of casualties.

"Khan, three wolves were killed. Other generals suffered 73 casualties, and more than 3,600 soldiers suffered casualties." A wolf replied.

Mule Hongzhen clenched his fist and said angrily: "We have lost more than 3,600 people before the battle started. Okay, very good. When Lingwu County is conquered, I will kill every Dasong soldier here." Stay and kill them all!”

Looking fiercely in the direction of Lingwu County, he said: "Set up camp ten miles away and send servants to dig trenches nearby at night."

If the trench was dug from ten miles away, it would probably take more than ten days before it reached Lingwu County. Naturally, he didn't want to wait that long.

When it is dark and soldiers on both sides cannot observe the battlefield, they can send people to dig close to the opponent's trench to avoid being attacked.

After settling the matter, Mulehonzhen gave a heavy snort.

At the same time, even though he didn't want to admit it, he still felt a sense of horror.

King Yan's artillery can actually hit a position ten miles away. This is simply incredible and unimaginable.

Central Army trench position.

Bai Shang couldn't help laughing when he saw Beidi setting up camp ten miles away.

Turning around, he took out a brown object as thick as a finger from his arms, lit it by the bonfire in the trench, and started puffing away.

This is the cigar Zhao Xu brought back from Luzon.

Returning to Yancheng from Nanzhanzhou, he rewarded Liu Fu, Chang Wei, Yang Feng and others with the hundred cigars he brought back. He also gave a few cigars to Zhao Heng for a taste.

Because Luzon has a large number of high-quality tobacco plantations left by Franji.

While he planned to continue the cigar industry in Luzon, he also transported tobacco back to Dason to produce cigarettes.

After all, this is a lucrative business just like liquor.

"General Bai, are you itching? You dare to steal the general's things." Huo An's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the cigar in Bai Shang's hand.

Since King Yan brought back very few cigars, they did not get any this time.

On the contrary, their general Chang Wei has ten abilities.

Originally, Chang Wei was also hiding his cigarette, but they bumped into him when they were returning to report the affairs in the army.

Only then did I understand what a cigar is.

Bai Shang looked intoxicated for a while, "If you can have a taste, it's worth the beating."

On weekdays, he often smokes dry tobacco, but the cut tobacco is obviously not as good as the best cut tobacco from Luzon.

As soon as he tasted it, he realized it.

Huo An was worried about Bai Shang at first, but he immediately showed a curious look, "What does it taste like? Let me try it too."

Huo An laughed twice, took out another one from his arms, and threw it to Huo An, "Take it."

Huo An was shocked again and wanted to say, "You actually stole two.", but then he thought, when the matter is revealed, Bai Shang will be scolded anyway.

He then lit the fire with peace of mind and started smoking like the others.

"Ahem..." Bai Shang coughed as he had not tasted it.

However, he was not willing to throw it away, but continued to smoke.

At the end, I was able to experience a little bit of the flavor, but unfortunately I had finished smoking it.

At this moment, Bai Shang took out two more cigars from his arms.

Huo An couldn't help but was stunned, "General Bai, the general will definitely spread your ass open."

Bai Shang was not nervous at all. He smiled and said, "I'm lying to you. I didn't steal these at all. They were given by the general. One for each person. These two belong to Liu Tan and Chu Shifei. The general said, After smoking, we must fight the battle more beautifully. He will gain face, so he can ask for more from His Highness and give us some benefits. "

Huo An breathed a sigh of relief, laughed twice, and said: "This face must be earned for the general. This road will be led by Mule Hongzhen himself, and we will find a way to capture him alive when the time comes."

"If this can be done, it will be a great achievement." Bai Shang's heart moved.

Although they have this idea, it is obviously extremely difficult to accomplish.

Suddenly something occurred to him and he said: "Let the soldiers be smarter at night and prepare flares."

When Bai Shang heard this, he thought of something and nodded.

For Beidi, no matter what action he takes, it is naturally most suitable at night.

At that time, he said that he would not send out scouts to find out the situation.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and night falls quickly.

Because of the snow, it’s not hard to see outside Lingwu County at night.

But the visibility is only twenty or thirty meters, and places further away can be lost.

Under Bai Shang's order, a group of scouts crawled out of the trench and walked along the bank of the Jin River toward the Beidi camp.

These scouts wore white cloaks to make themselves the same color as the snow.

Just when they were about to arrive at Beidi Camp, they suddenly heard the sound of snow being trampled.

The scouts immediately increased their vigilance and followed the footsteps back to the trench.

But just over five hundred meters away from the trench fortifications, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

The sound of digging the earth came again, which surprised the scouts.

Finally, they sent one person to crawl towards the direction of the sound.

The soldiers were mixed with the snow because of their white cloaks.

The soldier was still not found when he was thirty meters away from the Beidi soldier.

But the scouts learned about the Beidi people's movements and they were digging trenches.

After getting this information, they immediately returned and reported back to Bai Shang.

"Damn it, I knew they wouldn't be honest." Bai Shang cursed.

Then he said, "Fire out a flare to provide the artillery with a field of vision."
