Moreover, Bai Yutian learned that although the plain here was one of the main battlefields of the Three Northern Kingdoms and Eagle City, most of the people participating in the battle were warriors of the Wuqiang Kingdom.
And these people are far from the core troops and main force of the three northern countries.
Not only that, this part of the battlefield did not receive any assistance from the rebels. It was only used as an auxiliary attack to contain part of the Zhou army.
Although Eagle City is said to be a city, it is actually like a small Great Wall, with a long defense line and many arrow towers, stone castles and other defense fortifications.
There are also some fortifications on the Yuan River.
However, because the barbarian armies of the three northern kingdoms never knew how to build ships, ship construction lagged behind that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the focus of Eagle City's defense has never been on the Yuan River.
However, this time the rebels' assistance completely disrupted Yingcheng's defense plan, and forced Yingcheng to defend Yuanhe at a great cost.
Otherwise, once Yuanhe is broken through by the barbarian army, Yingcheng will be attacked from both sides.
Moreover, the barbarian army could go south from the Yuan River and invade the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Two days later, Bai Yutian arrived at Wuqiang Kingdom.
Yellow sand filled the sky, sweeping across the sky, almost swallowing everything.
Due to Bai Yutian's rapid march, the first batch of troops to arrive was only about 10,000 people.
These ten thousand people are all veterans on the battlefield and the elite of the Zhou army.
Some of them are the elite of the Wind Fire Battalion, and some of them are Kou Wang's soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.
As for Tang He and Fan Yonghao's vanguard troops, they should be able to reach Eagle City in more than a day.
Bai Yutian did not act rashly, but sent people out to find out the news.
These people disguised themselves as Uqiang people and went to the military camp to inquire for information.
The path Bai Yutian took was extremely secretive. Not even the Wuqiang Kingdom, even the Great Zhou Kingdom knew about it.
Therefore, the Uqiang soldiers on the front line had no idea that more than 10,000 Zhou soldiers quietly appeared behind them.
Soon, the scout who went to inquire about the news returned to the camp and reported the news to Bai Yutian.
"Your Majesty, there are about 30,000 people in the military camp of the Wuqiang Kingdom, and they are all the most elite warriors of the Wuqiang Kingdom."
Although there are only more than 30,000 people, their combat strength is at least comparable to 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers.
This is the terrifying thing about the northern barbarian army. They do not have an advantage in numbers or equipment, but they have an absolute advantage in physical fitness and strength.
Relying on their powerful body shape, even the Shanu people who possess tribal secrets cannot gain much benefit.
Of course, the three northern countries claim to have an army of one million, but in fact they cannot reach this number at all.
Otherwise, let alone Eagle City, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty might not be able to stop it.
Bai Yutian nodded and began to discuss countermeasures with the soldiers.
They now only have more than 10,000 people, so it would not be wise to fight head-on.
However, they brought a large number of muskets, which could also cause considerable damage to the Wuqiang army.
At present, Dazhou's artillery still has shortcomings. The killing range is naturally an insurmountable point. In addition, the artillery is either powerful but difficult to carry, or easy to carry but low in power.
For example, when Bai Yutian conquered Shanu Kingdom for the second time, the artillery on the city of Xishengzhou was very powerful but very difficult to transport.
Therefore, except for close combat, Bai Yutian did not use artillery in many battles, or used artillery with low power.
This was also the key to Zhou's ability to defeat the enemy several times, almost wiping out two major rebel armies in succession.
Now, Bai Yutian has the idea of establishing artillery processing plants in various places, but he has not had time to implement it.
"Your Majesty, I think we should still use the old method, with the cavalry and infantry charging forward to cover the musketeers."
"No matter how powerful these barbarians are, how can they resist the power of muskets?"
Kou Wang stood up and said, his eyes firm.
He couldn't wait to return to Eagle City and meet Kou Zaixiong.
Seeing Bai Yutian's intention, Kou Wang immediately said: "Your Majesty, we can't delay it any longer."
"Otherwise, Eagle City will fall and tens of thousands of people will be bullied by the barbarians."
Bai Yutian looked uncertain and sighed helplessly.
Now it seems that the only option is to attack by force.
There are reinforcements behind them, so even if they fail, the situation will not be too tragic.
But if they don't take action, Eagle City may really not be able to sustain itself.
After thinking this, Bai Yutian quickly issued an order to start taking action today.
Just then, another piece of good news came.
"Your Majesty, 20,000 warriors from the Wuqiang Kingdom are going to attack Yingcheng, and another 10,000 people will serve as support and stay at the military camp."
