Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 103

[Chapter 103 Battle]

“Dang, clang…”

A rush of clear bells echoed in Yan City.

Hearing this voice, the expressions of the common people and wealthy families in Yan City all changed.

The people outside hurried home.

The people at home closed the doors and windows tightly, and hid in the house with their families, shivering.

The vendors on the street were in a mess, and they didn’t care about their goods, they dispersed like birds and beasts.

Yan Wangfu.

Zhao Xu is eating dinner.

When the bell rang, Luan’er shook Zhao Xu’s chopsticks, and the mutton fell into the bowl, splashing a little soup on Zhao Xu’s chest.

“Luan’er.” Feng’er snorted coquettishly, and hurriedly wiped Zhao Xu’s face.

It’s just that her face is the same as Luan’er’s, and she can’t hide her worry.

The sound of this bell is different from the sound of morning bells and evening drums, and it is the unique sound of alarm bells.

Alarm bells ringing at this point can only mean one thing.

Beidi people are here.

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhao Xu held the hands of the two of them, “You stay in the palace and wait for the king to come back.”

“Your Highness…”

Luan’er almost shed tears, and Feng’er also looked sad.

They only feel sorry for King Yan’s many disasters.

After being crazy for three years, he was sent to this land of tigers and wolves.

Not long after he recovered from his illness, he met Qiushou from Beidi again.

They just couldn’t figure out why God was so unfair to King Yan.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Xu sighed helplessly.

They don’t know anything about military affairs, they only know that Beidi people have a bad reputation.

Now, the army of Beidi people is besieging the city, and they only feel that there is more danger than good fortune.

“Your Highness, don’t take care of your servants, the soldiers are still waiting for Your Highness.” Feng’er pulled Luan’er and forced a small smile.

Zhao Xu nodded, now is not the time for children to love each other.

Putting on his armor and saber, he strode out of the palace.

At this time, there was a sound of hoofbeats, and Chang Wei rode over.

Jumping down in front of Zhao Xu, he clasped his fists and said, “Your Highness, Beidi people are approaching the city.”

“Let’s go.” Zhao Xu calmly spoke out two words.

At this moment, he couldn’t show any lack of confidence.

But he was still a little nervous, after all, it was his first time facing the war.

However, he was nervous, but a rush of hot blood was circulating in his body.

Yan County is his fief, and as King Yan, he must face the invading enemies.

Yancheng is here, he is here.

Yancheng died, he died.

After getting on the horse, he and Chang Wei went straight to the north gate.

The street was quiet and there was no one.

But Zhao Xu knew that there were eyes watching him behind every window.

They are afraid and full of anticipation.

I only hope that he can lead the royal army to drive the Beidi people away.

“Your Highness!”

At the north gate, Zhao Xu got off his horse, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted him neatly.

The uneasiness on their faces became full of determination at this moment.

The king of Yan came, and the king did not hide in the palace, but let them fight with their lives on the battlefield.

As people from Yan County, what reason do they have to be afraid.

Zhao Xu pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze sharp.

Facing the soldiers, he shouted loudly: “Excuse me, I will fight with you today, and I will never back down!”

Zhao Xu’s voice was heard far away.

The soldiers who heard it were shocked and said in unison: “We will defend His Highness and Yancheng to the death.”

Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu with admiration.

Such a prince is worthy of his allegiance.

Only a coward would hide in a safe place and tremble with fear at this time.

Passing in front of the gatekeepers, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei climbed up the city wall along the steps.

At this moment, the neighing of horses continued to sound from outside.

At the same time, there were taunts and curses from Beidi people.

After climbing up the city wall, Zhao Xu looked out of the city.

I saw that outside Yancheng was a sea of cavalry.

The Beidi cavalry came from the north, and after the front cavalry stopped not far from the north gate, the rear cavalry walked around the city, enveloping the entire Yancheng.

These Beidi cavalry were either wearing leather armor or light scale armor, and they would suddenly shoot arrows at the city wall while galloping back and forth.

Some arrows kept falling on the city wall, or flew over the city wall.

There were also arrows hitting the soldiers on the city wall, making a soft sound of metal strikes.

“As His Highness expected, the Beidi people just tentatively attacked the three northern counties, and then the entire army came directly to Yancheng, with about 20,000 people.” Chang Wei said, looking outside the city.

A figure surrounded by many cavalry caught his attention.

“Well, it seems that they are determined to win Yancheng.” Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked at a place where a middle-aged man was wearing a brocade fur coat, and his imposing manner stood out from the crowd.

In addition to using Yancheng as a bait for his arrangement at the beginning, he also had another consideration.

That is, once Beidi is defeated, the troops of the three counties can form a defense line with Yancheng.

This line of defense is like a pocket, which can maximize the encirclement and suppression of Beidi people.

And when Yancheng’s battle is unfavorable, they can also come to support from the north.

But Bei Di doesn’t seem to care about these.

Perhaps in their common sense, the infantry who left the city to fight them was simply looking for death.

“The horses of Beidi people are really rich.” Zhao Xu suddenly felt emotional.

Many Beidi cavalry have four horses per man, which is unthinkable in the eyes of Dasong people.

Chang Wei clicked his tongue, he was also greedy.

Just when the two were observing the besieging army.

The formation of the Beidi cavalry suddenly changed.

The scattered cavalry formed a neat formation, and the generals of Beidi rode their horses to the front of the battle one by one.

A Beidi general galloped forward and shouted: “Listen, General Dasong in the city, this is Beidi’s black iron king’s tent. My great king personally leads the army to come and destroy your city. If you open the city now and go out to accept surrender, I will spare your lives, otherwise they will attack the city and slaughter the city for three days without leaving a single tile…” When the

voice came, Chang Wei’s face turned red.

He pointed to the middle-aged man in the Beidi army who was protected by many cavalrymen and said, “Your Highness, could that be the king they talk about, Kutu.”

Zhao Xu looked at the man, who seemed to be looking at the city wall as well.

He knew about the Black Iron King’s Tent that Yan County faced directly, and he had also heard of Kutu’s name.

“Xu Lie, shoot an arrow in that direction and give them a response.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

The battle has not yet been fought, but the people of Beidi are playing the game of defeating others without fighting.

But this shows from the side that Beidi people have confidence in themselves. ‘

If the army encircles the cities of other counties, I am afraid that the generals guarding the city will really have to think about it.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Xu Lie took out an arrow from his quiver, bent his bow and put it on, and aimed it at Kutu.

The arrow flew a long distance, and it was almost exhausted in front of Kutu, because the distance was far away.

But this is enough to express the will of Yancheng defender.

Under the city, Kutu looked at the arrow that fell three meters in front of him, and after being surprised, he was ashamed and angry.

“Give Da Song people some color.” He said coldly.

Mutuo went away in response, and a unique sound of horns sounded.

The Beidi cavalrymen on horseback bowed their bows and set arrows one after another.

“Whoosh!”

There was a dull sound of piercing through the air.

Arrows all over the sky rushed towards the city like locusts.
