Chapter 733: It Must Be One
Sometimes Zhao Hongyu even felt that it was a waste to use Zhentianlei and the few cannons, so he simply sent troops to charge with shields.
Good steel must be used on the blade. Although the supply of Zhentianlei has been restored in the capital after Chu declared war on the grassland, the journey is far away. It takes many days to transport so much goods from the capital to here. Time.
Moreover, most of the elites on the grassland were taken by Wanyan Khan to attack the state of Zhou, and the defenders facing the Zhenbei army are only second-rate.
And these guarding soldiers were also frightened by the thunder and artillery in the past two days, and they couldn't form any strong resistance at all.
Even some guarding soldiers will flee in the face of the wind.
Sometimes capturing captives is really easier than catching sheep...
The state of Chu has captured more and more prisoners, and the prisoner-of-war camps will be expanded. Of course, these must be built by the prisoners themselves.
It is not easy to be a prisoner of war in the state of Chu. Today's Zhenbei Army does not have the saying that they get something for nothing. Even prisoners of war have to rely on their own strength to feed themselves.
Putting up tents, chopping firewood, stacking haystacks, doing laundry...
Gotta do the same thing, right?
If you don't take any of them, you deserve to starve to death.
As a border guard, Zhao Hongyu was very confused these days.
When did Grassland feel so at ease with Chu State?
Just leave such a few soldiers to guard the place where their grassland borders Chu State?
To be able to put all his eggs in one basket and overwhelm Zhou Guo with all his elite troops?
I have to say that Wanyan Khan is quite courageous, but unfortunately his intelligence still needs to be improved.
They advanced six times in two days, and each time was tens of miles. Those who rode horses were fine, but these soldiers who walked on two legs were too tired to bear it. Wearing such heavy armor, they marched for such a long time It can be described as a huge challenge.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu ordered no further attack, consolidated the transport routes for the rear, and sent out scouts to investigate the enemy's situation ahead.
They have been fighting here for two days, and Khan on the Grassland who is far away in Zhou Kingdom should have received the news, and it is estimated that they will return to help soon.
In the past two days, they have achieved relatively good results. The current situation does not allow them to move forward unscrupulously. They must consolidate their current territory in case the grassland strikes.
You can't think that having firearms means that the world is big, and they let the Chu army rule freely.
Twice in the late autumn and severe winter of last year, enemy bandits on the grasslands came to the Central Plains to plunder food, and after being discovered by the border guards, they ordered to use thunderbolts to fight back.
But there were very few kills, and most of them were actually scared away.
If the war horses in the grassland would not be frightened, and rushed over with all their might, they would most likely reach their firearms camp.
Now that's right, there are countermeasures given by the court, but after all, no one has experience, so we still need to be cautious.
When the soldiers built a solid line of defense, Zhao Hongyu took a few of his own soldiers and changed into the casual clothes that people on the grassland usually wear, and went to inspect the surrounding herdsmen with his lieutenants.
Although Yan Guang reported to himself that the soldiers had done nothing wrong with the surrounding herdsmen, Zhao Hongyu was still a little worried.
He also doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Wangye Calabash.
His attitude towards aliens has always been that they are not my race, and he will be punished even if he is far away.
Especially those people on the prairie, they were killed a lot back then. Since the barren land of the prairie has no use value, let the threat of living here completely disappear.
Who would have thought that the prince would change his gender this time, and it would be such a pleasure to have friends come from afar...began to protect...
Of course, the protection is for the common people, but for some nobles on the prairie, they can live and kill at will without interfering.
No one can figure out what kind of medicine is sold in the prince's Calabash.
Are commoners not steppe people?
Zhao Hongyu and Yan Guang went all the way to the place where ordinary herdsmen graze on the grassland, only to hear a few people sitting not far away talking.
Almost all of them are elderly women, and all the men have gone to war.
They let the cattle and sheep graze on the pasture, while they sat on the ground and chatted with each other.
...
"Didn't Khan want to form an alliance with the Chu State? Why did the Chu State fight over?"
"I heard the news spread that it was the eldest prince of our Khan who bullied their princess of Chu State and injured their princess of Chu State. sent troops."
"So that's the case. According to what you said, the virtuous king of Chu is really a man. His daughter and niece have been bullied. It would be too useless for him to swallow his anger."
"Who says it's not? If you want to blame it, you can only blame our Khan's eldest prince! Why do you mess with other people's daughter?! Our Khan's eldest prince will be miserable. I heard that he was beheaded and killed by the enraged virtuous king on the spot."
"If I kill too! I should kill! At the beginning, the Wanyan tribe was a group of unreasonable animals. At the beginning, they couldn't help but kill a lot of men in our tribe. Our tribe had no choice but to submit to them. Now think about it, the Wanyan tribe originally They are all people of this kind of virtue, and they are worthy of our listening to them and respecting them as khans?"
Zhao Hongyu listened to the conversation of the two women from a distance. He had been guarding the border for many years, so he knew some grassland dialect. Although he was not very proficient, there was absolutely no problem in daily communication.
He also ordered people to spread these news, but in fact they are all facts.
Of course, they just spread the word about how they were wronged by the Chu Kingdom. As for why the eldest prince became angry from embarrassment, why did he bully Princess Gao Ning...
In fact, it was because their Chu State tricked the eldest prince into saying that their Chu State did not have any princes or princesses of the right age...
Right, like these words, all concealed.
Public opinion war, if the cause and effect are fully stated, how can it have the effect of public opinion victory?
Immediately afterwards, the two women's discussions started again.
"It is said that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette. It is really good. When the Wanyan tribe attacked us, they not only killed many of our men, but also robbed many of our young girls. Later, they also robbed our tribe's war horses and other people. Young cattle and sheep, now look at Chu State..."
"That's right, the one sent by the Wanyan Department was called Wanyan Rate, who said he was managing us and letting us live and work in peace and contentment, but in reality? He simply treated our tribe as his slaves! He robbed us of everything!"
"Okay, okay, you also extinguish the fire, where is the beauty rate now?"
"It's gone? It was still there a few days ago."
"It was killed by Chu State yesterday! Many people went to see it, including his family members. They all died miserably. Chu State has avenged our tribe this time."
