Become a feudal king from today

"Yes, Khan!"

When Ulanba's voice fell, the Beidi generals shouted.

"Huh?" When Ulanba heard the generals calling him Khan, instead of being happy, he frowned.

"Yes, General." The generals reacted one after another and corrected their calls.

After this period of restructuring, not only did Ulanba's title be general, they were no longer Wolf Lu, Captain, etc., but were replaced by colonel, major and the like.

After emphasizing some rules in war, Ulanba asked the generals to leave.

Although he was guided by Russian officers, the discipline of their Beidi army was still not as good as that of the Russian army and the Dasong army, which was also a headache for him.

Therefore, before the battle, he summoned the generals to warn them about this matter. .

For him, the era when the Beidi cavalry relied on personal bravery to become invincible in the world was over.

From now on, they must integrate into the Russian State, become part of the Russian Army, and fight in accordance with the fighting methods of the Russian Army.

For the next six days, the battlefield was exceptionally quiet.

Both armies were doing their own thing without interfering with each other.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

And this tranquility did not last long, and it came to an end on the seventh day with the roar of bursts of artillery.

Early that morning, the Central Army's artillery assembled 320 howitzers and 42 rifled guns to bombard the trench fortifications in Beidi.

"Whoosh...boom..."

Cannonballs soared into the air, fell into the ditch and exploded, sending up dirt and grass leaves all over the sky.

The moment the shelling started, Beidi soldiers squatted in the trench, eager to get into the ground for fear of being hit by the shells.

The moment the cannon sounded, Ulanba and Ivan rushed out of the camp.

In their field of vision, the entire trench position was covered by artillery fire.

The shells kicked up clouds of dust like raindrops on dry dust.

Mixed with the dust is the smoke produced by gunpowder, making the entire battlefield look foggy.

"Damn the Great Songman!" Looking at the battlefield filled with artillery fire, Ulanba almost gritted his teeth.

The opponent's artillery range was too far, and they didn't even have the ability to fight back when faced with artillery fire.

But in order to hold on, they had to endure it.

For a general, this situation of being beaten without being able to fight back can drive him crazy.

Ivan also looked embarrassed.

They could not see the position of the opponent's artillery at all, indicating that its artillery was far away from the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, he finally understood why their Russian army also fled in confusion on the Yongzhou battlefield.

"War is always like this." Ivan said to Ulanba at this time.

In fact, even if the artillery ranges of both sides are similar, they still have to withstand the other side's artillery fire.

The only difference is that now they are suffering the casualties alone, while in the latter they will suffer casualties on both sides.

But their advantage is that relying on the Khan Court, they have more manpower and material resources.

At present, in order to reduce the casualties of soldiers, some Beidi herdsmen have been asked to enter the trenches.

There will be a herdsman on both sides of each soldier to act as a human shield for the Beidi soldiers.

For them, as long as they lose, these old, weak, sick and disabled people will either be killed by Dasong soldiers or become prisoners of Dasong people.

Instead of doing this, it is better to serve as a human shield on the battlefield to withstand shelling.

They can even use their corpses directly as sandbags to provide cover.

"Yes." Ulanba nodded and pursed his lips tightly.

The purpose of the Dasong army to kill and injure a large number of their soldiers through shelling must be compromised after all.

This is his determination. In this war, he will use all means.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The bombardment continued.

But the two of them ignored him and returned to their tents.

at the same time.

At the central military camp, Chang Wei, Bai Shang and other generals were discussing the details of the night attack.

Originally, he planned to launch a night attack after three days of bombardment.

But in the past few days, the lancers searching for other royal tents on the grassland suddenly captured Beidi herders from Dasong.

So Chang Wei had an idea and ordered the cavalry to keep only the cattle and sheep, but instead released the Beidi herdsmen into the Khan's court.

As for the bombardment, they will continue, but for a longer period of time.

This has its own purpose.

After arranging the direction of attack for Bai Shang and the others, Chang Wei picked up the telescope and observed the battlefield for a while.

In the telescope, there was only the picture of the cannonballs kicking up dust on the trench, but the rest was very peaceful.

"Beidi must have been very uncomfortable with this shelling." Bai Shang laughed at this time, "During Yongzhou, faced with the shelling, Mulehong really dared to charge with the cavalry, but now they can only shrink back."

"No, after understanding the power of machine guns and lancers, they know that they can't do anything." Chen Hu pinched his waist.

None of them were nervous about this war.

Because they knew that this was just a war to suppress bandits. Beidi could not make a big fuss in Yongzhou, nor could it make a fuss in the Khan Court.

The only thing they need to do is to take down the Khan Court while minimizing casualties.

"But these bastards were very cruel to me. They drove many people into the trenches, and I'm afraid they used them as human shields." Lu Chang snorted at this time.

The movements of the Beidi people were clearly visible to them, and they naturally saw the scene of the Beidi people being driven into the trenches.

"The madness before destruction." Chang Wei snorted coldly.

By doing this, Ulanba can certainly reduce the casualties of his soldiers, but the Beidi soldiers are also the sons of Beidi people.

They are cruel to Dasong people, but they are very loving and protective of their loved ones.

I'm afraid some Beidi generals will feel cold-hearted.

Even though they were frightened by Ulanba's authority, they remained silent.

But if the war goes against them, they will be the first to lose their will to fight.

While everyone was chatting, the sun was rising step by step.

At noon, the shelling stopped, and the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield was suddenly replaced by the rich smell of rice.

Each army began to eat alternately.

In addition to steamed buns, these rich rice aromas also come from canned food.

Army cooks opened the cans and poured them into large pots to heat.

The smell of braised horse meat suddenly wafted far away.

In addition, there are also canned potatoes, canned yellow peaches, etc.

The soldiers of the Central Army ate hot steamed buns and delicious dishes, and they all ate deliciously.

It is these abundant supplies that allow them to maintain sufficient physical strength to this day.

The rich aroma of these meals wafted to the trenches of the Beidi people, and many Beidi soldiers immediately swallowed their saliva.

In fact, in the month since the Dashong Lancers besieged the Khan Court, their situation has become increasingly difficult.

Especially a few days ago, the Dasong Lancers only took away cattle and sheep, but let the herdsmen in.

This caused the Khan Court's supplies to be consumed at an alarming rate, and their food was getting worse day by day.

Therefore, when they suddenly smelled such an alluring fragrance, they couldn't control their saliva at all.
