Chapter 403 fell short
You traitors! Dwarf Rape!! You will be punished!!
In the border city, a dirty middle-aged dwarf scolded and was escorted out of a dilapidated house by several Daxia soldiers.
In the face of his scolding, the dwarves standing around him were silent, looking at him with complexity and indifference in their eyes.
The reason why he did this to him was because this guy was most likely a spy for the Romanovs.
He blended in with the refugees in the border cities, and from time to time he would implicitly provoke these refugees in his words.
However, what he didn't expect was that there were actually a few dwarves who felt that this guy had a problem and reported it to the City Lord's Mansion last night, and then there was this scene.
And all of this is thanks to the good deeds that Xia Qi has done before.
In addition, Romanov also overestimated the loyalty of the people to him.
Although he is not a tyrant, he has nothing to do with Mingjun and Renjun.
For the common people, it can only be regarded as average.
Therefore, the people's feelings for him are also average.
If you convert it into loyalty, it's roughly in the range of sixty-five to seventy.
In normal times, he wouldn't make trouble, but because of Delin's forced conscription, the loyalty of the people here began to decline.
It was at this time that the army of Great Xia captured these cities, and through their military discipline, they initially gained the trust of the dwarves.
After that, Xia Qi ordered to build a porridge shed, distribute hot porridge, and relieve the dwarf refugees in winter, which made him successfully brush up on the dwarf group again.
With such a set of moves to win people's hearts, it is impossible for the Romanov spies to make any waves in the city.
As for the dwarven spy he captured, Jin Ming did not plan to carry out a public execution.
After all, although the other party is a spy, he is also a dwarf, and although the public execution can have a deterrent effect, it will also affect the popularity of Daxia that has just risen up among the dwarf group to a certain extent, which is not cost-effective.
So even if you want to deal with it, it's best to deal with it privately, rather than with a lot of fanfare.
Moreover, he now has a better way to deal with it than to be executed directly.
"Then, it's hard work for the two of you and the Goblin King."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu hugged his fists at Jin Ming and the two men in brocade clothes next to him.
These two men, needless to say, must be the people who embroider clothes.
The so-called embroidered clothes, as the name suggests, are gorgeous clothes.
As for the whereabouts of this dwarven spy, it is naturally the prison of the embroidered guard.
For the embroidered guard, the reputation in Great Xia can be described as polarized.
The officials hated them to the core, but they were also afraid to the core, and once they heard the slightest news about the embroidered guards, they would be frightened and tremble, like frightened birds.
Of course, these are limited to corrupt officials.
For Qing officials and officials, embroidered clothes and guards will not come to the door if they are idle.
But among the people, among the common people, the reputation of the embroidered guards is still good, after all, they are arresting some high-ranking officials and men on weekdays.
For these, the people are naturally happy to hear about it.
But now after all, it is in the border city of the front line, and it is inevitable that it will be too troublesome to escort it back.
At the same time, due to the language barrier, the work of questioning had to fall on Jin Ming.
Soon the next day, a confession was sent to the City Lord's Mansion.
As the interrogator, Jin Ming went directly back to his temporary residence in the border city, and he was closed for several days.
Really, the shadow brought to Jin Ming that night was too great.
For days on end, I had nightmares filled with the contents of that night's interrogation and the dwarf's terrible wails.
The information that the dwarven spy knew was extremely limited, and it was less than a page of content, and Zhou Yu glanced at it and read it.
Originally, he wanted to find out if he could extract some useful information from the mouth of the dwarven spy, but it was clear that the Romanov was very cautious and did not tell him all about his plan.
For the time being, it's just a matter of letting him do some stirring up work among the refugees to see how many people are still on his side.
But beyond that, they didn't find nothing, at least two names were tortured from the mouth of the dwarven spy, apparently his accomplices.
At this moment, this winter on the front line suddenly became lively.
In comparison, the winter of Great Summer is much more peaceful.
Of course, this tranquility refers to the tranquility of the people.
After the winter, many people can live a fairly idle life, eat hot pot every day, drink a little wine, chat with the people next to them by the way, read newspapers, and learn about national events.
As for Xia Qi, he was naturally busy as usual.
The emperor seems to be high, but he is not so easy to be in charge, just a year-round, I don't know how many people can be persuaded to retire.
For now, just preparing for war at the beginning of the next spring is a very cumbersome task, enough to spend most of their time.
Coupled with some official reports sent on weekdays, it was enough to completely reset Xia Qi's leisure time to zero.
And just like that, time passed quietly.
The cold winter slipped away imperceptibly in Xia Qi's busyness, and with the gradual warming of the weather, Xia Qi was about to drive the expedition.
At the same time that Xia Qi led the rear army to conquer in person, on the other side, Xiao Ke, who had gathered enough troops in one winter, also began to attack the border of the goblin civilization!
In the sound of the horn of the attack, one after another war elephants were frantically rushing and killing on the battlefield, and the siege equipment was constantly pushing forward, which was completely a posture of forcibly breaking the city.
However, Dunk Joseph does not intend to sit still.
After all, this is not an invasion war, and there is no one-month time limit.
Once the border city is occupied by the enemy, the enemy will not retreat as before, and in that case, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable for him.
Therefore, Dunk Joseph did not hesitate at all, and immediately made a decision to attack Shawk.
For a while, Shock's side was very lively.
On the other side, the infantry troops led by Suo Chao were not in a hurry to make a move, and they temporarily camped dozens of kilometers away from the goblin civilization.
According to the original plan, let the main battlefield fight for a few more days, and then they will start when the other side has almost attracted Dunk Joseph's troops and attention.
When the time comes, while distracting the attention of the other side, you may be able to occupy a city by surprise.
The battle situation on this side really doesn't need Xia Qi to worry about in a short period of time.
But on the side of the dwarven civilization, it is a little difficult.
Just after winter, the vanguard army led by Jin Ming launched a new round of operations based on the four dwarven cities that had been occupied by them.
The continuous sound of gunfire constantly stimulated the eardrums of every soldier, and the fire network formed by the volleys of a large number of dwarven musketeers continued to suppress the Great Xia army that tried to rush up.
During this long winter, the Romanovs ordered to intensify the manufacture of gunpowder and delivered it to the front.
At the same time, he had semi-permanent strong moats erected outside the city, which were directly connected to form an extraordinarily long battle line.
The Ironforge Bomb has already been blown up, so it has to make that big explosion seem meaningful.
The biggest achievement of that big bang was to deprive the vanguard army of nearly eighty percent of its powerful orc units.
As for the panda people transferred by Xia Qizheng, there are also bear people......
The bear people led by Bell entered hibernation when winter came, although they have now woken up, but the long hibernation has caused them to consume a lot of vitality, and their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly, and they can't count on it for the time being.
As for the panda people, although they don't need to hibernate, they can't rely on them alone, because their population is really insufficient.
In this way, the trench has room to play.
At this moment, the Romanovs no longer plan to defend the city.
If he fights a city defense battle, there are three cities on the line behind him, and the army is divided into three, so he can't fight at all.
Therefore, he directly pulled up a semi-permanent trench in that area to protect all three cities behind, and put all the front-line troops into this trench, intending to intercept the army of Great Xia here!
Without those front rows like orc chariots, and now facing the dwarven civilization that relies on the trenches and fights with them in strongholds, this battle suddenly becomes difficult to fight.
If you attack from the top, the cost of casualties will inevitably be too great.
The change in the situation brought the battle of the front, which had been launched in early spring, into a stalemate.
After receiving the battle report, Romanov's always gloomy face finally showed a smile.
Fortunately, he didn't work in vain this winter.
Without the rough-skinned and thick-skinned orc troops, it would be really difficult for the opposite Great Xia to face his tactical play.
"Pass on the king's order, appoint Fielding as the commander-in-chief of the eastern battlefield, and then send an additional 20,000 troops over, and those invaders must not be allowed to break through the eastern battlefield and advance again!"
Before the appointment of the Romanovs arrived, the rash Fielding took the initiative to fight the army of Great Xia.
The dwarves rushed out of the trenches and took the initiative to engage in melee combat with the opposing Bactria army.
Jin Ming, who was originally unable to make contributions because of the trench, how could he bear it when he saw this?
When even the order was launched, a full-scale charge was launched.
Facing the Great Xia army like a wave, the dwarven side was like a seemingly solid rock, and it was washed to pieces in just a few rounds.
"Withdraw! Get out of here!"
Looking at the troops that had fallen into disadvantage, Fielding immediately ordered the horn to be sounded for retreat.
The dwarves, who had been struggling for a long time, immediately turned around and ran towards their own position the moment they heard the sound of the trumpet.
At this moment, what formation, what robes, all were thrown into their minds.
Golden opportunity!
Looking at the dwarven army in a chaotic formation, Zhou Yu immediately let the heavy cavalry troops rush forward, aiming directly at the dwarven trench.
"Calm down! Calm down!!"
"Maintain !! formation"
Fielding looked at the fleeing group of soldiers and was almost mad.
He even wondered, had these guys been trained?
Looking at the army that was still in disarray, Fielding finally made up his mind as the main general.
I saw that he clenched the war knife in his hand, and with a wave of his arm, he killed several dwarven soldiers who fled back one after another.
"Quiet !!"
Fielding's hand successfully deterred these dwarven soldiers, and at this time, the heavy cavalry on the Great Xia side had already rushed not far away.
"The spearmen are in front, raising their spears to meet the enemy. The musketeers are behind, firing non-stop!"
Accompanied by Fielding's order, the dwarven spearmen immediately raised their spears and fought in a line, ready to meet the heavy cavalry troops that were about to rush up.
Because they were all standing in the trenches, most of their bodies were below ground level, with only half of their heads exposed.
This, however, does not provide visibility to the dwarven musketeers behind them, as well as the interval between shots.
"Fire !!"
With Fielding's order, the dwarven musketeers immediately pulled the trigger, and the projectiles immediately flew towards the charging heavy cavalry.
Although the heavy cavalry were fully armoured and even their faces were covered by metal masks, the horses were not like this.
Although the horse also has a certain amount of armor attached to it, it is not a full-body armor.
After all, it is heavy enough to carry a knight with full armor, and if the war horse is also fully armored, it will not be able to carry it.
After being hit by the projectile, the heavy cavalry troops, which were originally charging at full speed, suddenly became chaotic.
As the heavy cavalry rushed into the enemy line, hundreds of horses screamed, all of them stabbed into their bodies with spears.
As for the knights on their backs, the consequences can be imagined.
Qingyang looked at the heavy cavalry that suffered heavy losses in an instant, as well as the follow-up troops who had not arrived for a long time, gritted his teeth, and immediately turned his horse's head and chose to retreat.
In the face of the revitalized dwarven army, her two thousand heavy cavalry is not enough to see, and if she rushes hard, she can only end up with the annihilation of the entire army.
