After a few days of rest, the Northern Expeditionary Corps marched to the three cities of Yingzhou, Raozhou, and Jianzhou according to Niu Ben's plan.

At the same time, news from the secret guards also reached the staff headquarters located in Jinzhou.

"The barbarians are evacuating the people in the city." Niu Ben was a little surprised, this was the news that the secret guard had just sent.

The secret guard who came to deliver the information said: "There is no mistake, the news comes from Shengdu, and now the barbarian khan has issued an order to slaughter slaves and burn the city. ”

"Brute!" Niu Ben hit the table with a group of people, and the barbarians after the defeat were even more cruel and violent.

Walking out of the tent, Niu Ben called a group of chasers and said, "You go and inform Luo Xin, Lei Ming and Niu Ben immediately, and let them speed up their march and occupy the three cities as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, General." , the chasers turned and left, and now that the army has not been set off for long, they can still catch up.

After giving the order, Niu Ben turned to return to the camp tent, when a group of cavalry suddenly arrived.

The cavalry stopped in front of Niu Ben and threw the five men tied to the horses to the ground, and the cavalry company commander at the head said: "General, we found five sneaky Japanese people on patrol. ”

Niu Ben frowned slightly, he looked at the five people on the ground, these five people were dressed as businessmen, they were not tall, and at first glance they didn't look much different from the people of Dayu.

"Did they say anything?" Niu Ben asked.

The cavalry company commander said depressedly: "General, we asked, but we don't understand the bird language they speak at all, so let's let the imperial court send a translator." ”

"Qingzhou is too far away, it will take half a month to go back and forth, you go to Liaozhou now and ask Ye Qingyun, he has been in Goryeo, I think he will know a few people who understand, after all, Goryeo and the pirates of the Wa Kingdom have always been in collusion."

The cavalry company commander turned around and went to Liaozhou, Jinzhou is very close to Liaozhou, and it only takes a day and a half to ride a horse.

Seeing the cavalry leave, Niu Ben ordered: "Strictly guard the five people, and never let them die." “

"Yes, General." The guards immediately brought the five men down.

At the same time, the chasseurs who left the city pursued the three main armies.

An hour later, Luo Xin, who was heading to Raozhou, received Niu Ben's order, and he immediately ordered to speed up his march towards Raozhou City.

However, in his opinion, even if he accelerates, he may only get an empty city by then, but the news of the secret guard is very timely, and there may be hope in the race against time now.

Compared with Luo Xin's worries, Lei Ming, who went to Yingzhou, was very calm, because Yingzhou was too close to them and too far away from the barbarians, so they could easily arrive in advance.

And Lu Fei was even more indifferent than the two, because Jianzhou was originally the most barren of the six cities, and he didn't expect this Jianzhou city to provide any supplies, all the Great Yu Kingdom wanted was this city to show its sphere of influence, and at the same time as a bridgehead to attack the grassland and open up to the north.

But even so, Niu Ben's order could not be ignored, and he also gave the order to march quickly.

As soon as his order was given, the soldiers trotted up, and when the recruits were training, a quick march was a must, in addition to running with heavy loads.

So in the face of orders, the soldiers were calm.

Three days later, Luo Xin's army appeared in Raozhou, which was supposed to take four days to arrive.

Qi Guangyi, who arrived first, said; "After the barbarians evacuated Raozhou City yesterday, the barbarian soldiers began to burn the city in the city, after our cavalry arrived, some of the barbarian cavalry did not fight with us and withdrew from Raozhou City, and now there are still some barbarian cavalry and foot in the city have not withdrawn."

Luo Xin said: "Since the barbarians have moved west, they will definitely not fight us to the death in Raozhou City, as soon as the city gate is broken, they will definitely flee in panic, and it will not be too late for you to send cavalry to chase and kill." “

Qi Guangyi nodded.

This time Niu Ben sent him to Raozhou City for a purpose, and now the barbarian city has basically been wiped out, and the rest is just the barbarian tribes on the grassland, and if you want to expel these barbarian tribes at that time, you will need their cavalry.

After all, the cavalry's mobility on the steppe is too strong, and ordinary footsteps simply can't keep up.

The two made a plan to fight, and at this time, Luo Xin asked the artillery to put down a formation, and there was a burst of artillery bombardment at the gate of Raozhou City.

Under the power of the new cannonballs, the gates of Raozhou City were vulnerable, and two cannonballs blew up the entire wooden gate.

"Blow the trumpet!" Luo Xin was full of confidence, and the victory in Jinzhou City made him see clearly the fact that the barbarians were just paper tigers, and in front of absolute force, the barbarians could only retreat.

As soon as his words fell, the sound of the charging horn sounded, and the soldiers, whose morale was high because of the successive victories, rushed towards Raozhou City with a roar.

"Soldiers, we can sleep comfortably after taking Raozhou City." Luo Xin shouted.

His words spurred the soldiers on the three-day march, and they rushed to the city with the last of their strength.

At this time, the barbarian soldiers in the city were already like frightened birds, and the soldiers who fled back from Jinzhou City described the firearms of the Great Chongqing Kingdom as very terrible, and the terrible legend about the "earth fire" also spread.

"Run, Da Yu is coming."

Some barbarian soldiers ran away when they saw the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom with muskets, and now all the clansmen in the city have withdrawn, and the remaining orders are to slaughter and burn the city.

But they were clearly unwilling to risk slaughtering slaves who they saw as meagre rather than their own lives.

"Bang ......"

The Dayu army that entered the city was almost chasing the barbarian soldiers, and they rushed forward with bayonets after shooting at close range.

At this time, both the number of soldiers and the combat effectiveness in Raozhou City were superior to the Great Yu State, and in the face of the ferocious offensive, the barbarian soldiers continued to withdraw from the east gate to the west gate.

Two hours later, the army of the Great Yu State fully occupied the city of Raozhou, but under the destruction of the barbarians, the city was full of fires, and the soldiers were once again engaged in the firefighting operation.

Outside the city, Qi Guangyi had been waiting for the barbarian soldiers who had escaped from the city, and he roughly estimated that there were only more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers who had escaped from the city.

And the vast majority of them are infantry.

Looking at the billowing smoke in the city, Qi Guangyi's eyes became cold, and he should also be cruel to the cruel barbarians.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Qi Guangyi spurred down the war horse, and rushed to the chaotic barbarian soldiers first.

In an instant, the high-speed rushing war horse directly knocked the barbarian soldiers into the air, and at the same time, Qi Guangyi slashed left and right, and the barbarian soldiers continued to let out a wail before death.

Behind him, 30,000 cavalry rolled like a rolling torrent along the escape route of the barbarian soldiers, leaving no armor behind.
