He also smiled he, looked at Alipu with ill intentions and said: "Prime Minister, I have heard that in order to capture the first city, you have ordered 20,000 cavalry to be converted into infantry, so don't you say that there are 20,000 war horses left." Of course, it's not in vain for you, but this leader has heard that there is a large horse farm in the south of Shicheng City, and there are hundreds of thousands of war horses in it, and after the city is captured, how about the war horses in it allow your army to pick 40,000 first? ”

It seemed that he was worried that Alipu would disagree, so he first directly offered double the price, and then looked at the other party expectantly. I also believe that this price code can impress the other party.

Alip only groaned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. These 20,000 horses are really useless now, even if this is the case, it is better to take them out and make a trade, once they succeed, they will get more. Moreover, he also hoped to get the help of artillery, otherwise he really didn't know when he would be able to take Shijo after such a siege.

After convincing Alipu, he first called Tengshu, one of the four major generals under him, and asked him to take 10,000 people to Sanbula Chuan City to make a deal. "Remember, 20,000 horses were exchanged for all the artillery shells in the city."

"Yes, Chief. But what if they don't trade with us? Tengshu asked rhetorically.

"Tell them that the artillery is used against Shicheng, and now we are all grasshoppers on a rope, if the five-star army is okay this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably come to the five-star army to turn over the account, if they don't want to see such a result, it is better to make a deal with us obediently. And if they are unmoved in this way, tell them that we will form an alliance with Yang Chendong, and think for themselves what the consequences will be. Pulling a face, he also said in an unkind tone.

Teng Shu left, but to his surprise, the transaction was very smooth, all because it was the eunuch Deng Qiang who was now in charge of Sanbula City. For this person who only has interests in his eyes, even if there is no red-coated cannon, there is no need to keep those shells, it is better to give the Warat Department a change of war horses.

The two sides were trading under the city gate, and when it came to 20,000 war horses, there was a lot of noise, and many people in Sanbula Chuan City knew about it, and Shi Wanshan and other generals also knew about it, but they really couldn't do anything when they were under house arrest.

The members of the security bureau in Sanbula Sichuan City inquired about this matter, considering that the matter was serious, they activated the radio station to send the news to Shicheng, when Yang Chendong saw the news, Wang Shan not only sent this telegram, but also sent a telegram about the Fifth Division of the Sea.

He Gong, commander of the Fifth Division of the Navy's Cold Front, called, they had already passed through the Liaodu area and were now coming in the direction of Shicheng.

"It's better to come early than to come sooner." Looking at this telegram, which can be called a timely rain, Yang Chendong's hearty smile came. If the other party wants to play with firearms with himself, then he will let everyone know who is the originator of firearms.

Under the city of Shicheng, he also began to transfer troops with Alipu first, and each sent out 50,000 cavalry, a total of 100,000 in the northwest of Shicheng, waiting for the appearance of the main cavalry of the five-star army. But at the same time, thousands of miles away to the south, a cavalry of 6,000 men appeared in the Shihe River of Ye'er to the north of Yili Rangli, and they were quietly crossing the river under the banner of the Five-Star Army, with General Narisong as the main general.

This is exactly a surprise soldier arranged by Yang Chendong before the war. They crossed the Luling Ridge and crossed the Jinshan Mountain from the other direction to the outskirts of the Yili country. Next, they will launch an iron-blooded attack to avenge the siege of Fury City led by Alip.

The telegraph operator put away the telegram, came to Na Risong and saluted, and said, "The deputy division commander, the sixth young master, has called and agreed to our operation to enter Yili to attack its hinterland, and requires us to create enough momentum. ”

"Haha, call back the sixth young master, and promise to complete the task." Na Risong laughed excitedly, looked back at the cavalry team that was crossing the river and shouted: "Brothers, work hard, we can draw our sabers and slaughter one-sidedly in two days at most, hahaha." ”

......

Mount Saihan.

This once served as a watershed between the Five-Star Army and the Northern Ming Army. Since the appearance of the coalition forces of Tawarat and Yili Shori, it has become an abandoned land, and from a distance, you can still vaguely see the desolate appearance of the mountain.

"General, are we going to rest here for a night, the brothers are tired from being careful all the way." A commander walked up to General Tengshu with a flattering look.

Tengshu rode on his horse and looked at the continuous light rain that was falling overhead, and when he saw the carriages loaded with cannonballs walking in small rows, he nodded, "It's okay, the brothers have been traveling overnight these days, and they are indeed tired, so let's have a good night's rest." But to give the order, the waterproofing of the carriage must be done well, and the shells must not be allowed to enter the water. ”

"General rest assured, General Xie." The commander thanked him happily, and then went down to convey the military order, and for a time there were bursts of cheers in the ranks of 10,000 people. To say that they are not afraid to hurry, but with these gunpowder, which will explode if they are not careful, their hearts are always hanging high. Seeing that Shicheng is imminent, and there is a light rain in the sky, it is better to stop, take a good rest, and continue to move forward when the weather is fine.

The general gave the order to rest, and the cavalry soldiers took out their tents, and white tents sprung up at the foot of Saihan Mountain. Originally, the Five Star Army built a large road here, because the roadbed was higher than the ground, even a little rain would not get in the way, so it became a good place for the Warat cavalry to rest.

Just as the tents appeared one after another, the two five-star army scout soldiers hidden in the distance quietly retreated and reported the news to their regiment commander Ding Shan.

When the city was closed, Ding Shan and his reconnaissance group did not enter the city, but stayed outside, responsible for finding out all the information outside. When the Fifth Division of the Sea appeared on the grassland, it was the head of Ding Shan who personally led people to greet them and pulled them into an extremely safe dense forest.

Now, Ding Shan was standing in the makeshift military tent with He Gong, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Sea, looking at the map, thinking about how to complete the tasks taught by the Sixth Young Master next.

The Navy's Cold Front 5th Division is an all-firearms armed army, with four regiments and one battalion directly under the division, totaling 8,400 troops. Because when He Gong received the order, he was still maintaining law and order in North Korea Province, so he left the fourth regiment behind when he came. But even if there are only three regiments and one battalion directly under it, its combat power can still be astonishing.

Speaking of which, the Navy's Cold Front Division has its own merits compared with the Army's Cold Front Division. For example, in addition to land warfare, the Army's Cold Front Division also requires learning to ride horses, while the Navy's Cold Front Division requires knowledge of water and not seasickness when walking on the sea.

But it is undeniable that both sides have good capabilities to fight on land. After receiving the task of destroying the 10,000 cavalry sent by Warat to collect gunpowder from the telegram, He Gong has been waiting for the fighter to appear.

"If the Varat cavalry were all walking on horseback, it would not be very easy to annihilate them without life. And once a large number of cavalry escaped, but I don't know if Commander Ding can stop them? Inside the tent, He Gong asked Ding Shan, the head of the reconnaissance regiment, with a serious face.

Although he wanted to say that he would do his best, but the war was not a little sloppy and careless, Ding Shan could only shake his head, "Division Commander He, our reconnaissance group only has two thousand people, if it is within this number, we are confident that we will leave them behind, but if the enemy escapes too much, I am afraid that there will be nothing we can do." ”

"That's right." He Gong took a deep breath, "Then if you want to complete the task, you can only wait for them to stop." ”

Saying this, He Gong didn't have much confidence in his heart, after all, the news he got two hours ago was that the Warat cavalry had almost arrived at Saihan Mountain. From there to the outside of Shicheng City, it is more than a day's journey to hurry, maybe in order to return to the camp as soon as possible, people will not stop at all, and they will not create the most suitable opportunity for themselves to destroy the enemy?

Thinking that the sixth young master had high hopes for the fifth master of the sea, if he couldn't complete the task well this time, where would he have the face to meet people again, He Gong's eyes fell on the map again, and he could only take risks for the sake of the task.

"Report!" It was at this time that the newly sent scouts from outside the tent returned, and at the same time brought the latest news, the shells of the 10,000 cavalry and dozens of carriages brought by Tengshu had stopped at the foot of Saihan Mountain because of the continuous rain.

"Stopped?" After He Gong heard the report, his eyes showed an excited light, and then he laughed and said, "Okay, okay, just stop." Captain Ding, it's time for us to show off our skills. ”

"Yes, Master He, everything will be done according to the previous plan." Ding Shan was also very excited. The cavalry was afraid to move, in which case it would be too difficult to lock on to the target, which would make it more difficult to annihilate them all together. But if they stop, it's a different story.

A division commander and a regiment commander immediately set off with their troops, and the goal was directly at the foot of Saihan Mountain.

At the foot of Saihan Mountain, the 10,000 cavalry led by Tengshu did not know that they had become targets and prey, and the light rain outside had turned into moderate rain.

As the leading general, Tengshu has no intention of reprimanding, the soldiers are very hard, and it is good to have the opportunity to rest more. Not to mention that this place is not far from Shicheng, and he has 10,000 cavalry, so he really can't imagine any danger to rest here. Even if the five-star army appeared, it was not that he had no strength to fight back. Moreover, there was no information that there would be any main force of the Five-Star Army here, which made him have nothing to worry about.
