Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 165

[Chapter 165 The Killer]

Two days later.

Chang Wei led the troops, and on another day, Mo Yu led the troops to Shanggu City.

“Your Highness, the four counties in the north of Shanggu County were all captured by the last general, leaving a battalion of soldiers to garrison each county.” Chang Wei said.

He joined forces and went north to attack the county seat, but he did not encounter much resistance.

After all, the nobles of Shanggu spent all their money in an ambush.

Now, the elite they gathered was defeated, and naturally they were powerless to resist.

“The four counties in the south were also captured, among which Shangyi County of the Zhong family surrendered to the last general.” Mo Yu cupped his hands.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Liu Fu told him about the Zhong family.

If it weren’t for Zhong Shidao, Liu Fu wouldn’t have made the conspiracy of the Shanggu Hao family so clear.

After the war broke out, Zhong Shidao sent a letter to his family ordering the children of the Zhong family to surrender to King Yan.

Zhao Xu still chose to accept the wealthy families who surrendered, and there was no need to push them to the opposite of him.

“It seems that the hardest bone is Gaojiawubao.” Zhao Xu picked up the tea and blew gently, “Gaojiawubao has a high wall and nearly 20,000 wealthy private soldiers gathered inside. A hard attack, I’m afraid there will be a lot of casualties, what do you two think?”

Chang Wei and Mo Yu looked at each other.

When heading to Shanggu City, they left their soldiers on the outskirts of Gaojiawu Fort.

I also saw Gaojiawu Fort in person.

The Gaojiawu Fortress wall is about fifteen meters high, and there are many soldiers guarding it.

Although the two are confident that they can win, siege is different from defense.

Bottom-up will encounter stones, wooden rafts, kerosene and other things.

Although plate armor is hard, it is not very good at protecting against these falling heavy objects.

If there is a strong attack, thousands of people will be killed or injured.

After hesitating for a while, the two seemed to reach a consensus.

Chang Wei said: “Your Highness, the general thinks it’s time to use a cannon.”

Mo Yu nodded.

“This king already knew that you would choose this.” Zhao Xu smiled.

In the past two days, he went to see Gaojiawu Fort and scratched his head as well.

If there is no such thing as artillery, this time it must be a hard attack.

Otherwise, he would have to besiege the city for a long time, which is also not good for him.

After all, the situation in Yanzhou is changing rapidly, and it is not a good idea to put a large number of troops here.

“Then His Highness agreed?” Chang Wei was delighted.

They know the power of artillery, but they don’t know what effect it will have on the battlefield.

So for the two of them, this is a good opportunity to accumulate experience in using artillery.

Zhao Xu nodded, although he wanted to leave the Beidi people with the first time in actual artillery combat.

But there is no need to waste the lives of the soldiers of the palace because of this.

“It still needs to be covered when transporting, so as not to leak the wind.” Zhao Xu added.

“Yes, Your Highness.” The two said loudly.

Then, Chang Wei immediately sent people back to Yan County and ordered the soldiers to send ten artillery pieces to Shanggu City.

…

Fan Yang, the Yuan family.

“Husband, you must save my father.”

In front of Yuan Li, a woman knelt on the ground, weeping.

She is Gao Yuan’s daughter and married Yuan Li as a concubine.

After the tribe told her the news that Wubao was besieged, she immediately came to beg Yuan Li.

Yuan Li’s face was sullen and he didn’t speak.

After Shanggu County was incorporated into King Yan’s fiefdom, he instructed Gao Yuan to deal with King Yan secretly, and it was best to kill him.

Gao Yuan did the same, but unfortunately failed.

Now King Yan defeated the ambush, basically took control of Shanggu County, and besieged Gaojiawu Fort.

Although he was angry in his heart, but the king of Yan sealed the earth, he led his troops away rashly.

Not to mention whether he could scare King Yan and break the siege of the Gao family, he would not be able to justify this matter if it was brought to the court.

But if you don’t save them, what about the rich families in other counties?

The prestige of his Yuan family is bound to plummet.

In the future, that wealthy family will still be willing to work for themselves?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but fall into a dilemma.

“Guo Changshi, what do you think?” Yuan Li looked at Guo Tu.

After several ingenious strategies, Yuan Li now trusts Guo Tu very much, and he is qualified for the post of long history to assist him.

Guo Tu heard this, thought for a while and said, “It’s not true to send troops this time, and it’s not true not to send troops.”

“Exactly.” Yuan Li nodded, and Guo Tu guessed his thoughts right away.

“Just now Gao Neishi mentioned that the Patriarch of the Zhong family, Zhong Shidao, was killed in the flames. Why don’t your lord spread the matter to King Yan, and tell Captain Zhong to seek revenge? In this way, this matter has nothing to do with your lord.” It’s gone.” Guo Tu said slowly, shaking his head.

Yuan Li’s eyes brightened, “That’s right, I’ve long been dissatisfied with Zhongli’s disobedience. I’ve instigated him to go this time. Of course it’s best to save the plateau. If he can’t be rescued, it doesn’t matter if he dies in Shanggu County. Yanzhou The nobles also know that I, Yuan Li, have put my heart and soul into it.”

“That’s exactly what I mean, this Zhongli’s cavalry skills are superb, and there is no match in the Xuanjia army with a long spear, so maybe it can achieve miraculous results.” Guo Tu laughed.

Yuan Li clapped his hands excitedly, and immediately sent someone to call Zhongli.

Not long after, a general in black armor came striding forward.

“See Mr. State Shepherd.” Zhong Li knelt on one knee and said.

Seeing this, Yuan Li sighed, “Lieutenant Zhong Du, I have to tell you something. Your father was killed by King Yan.”

“What!” Zhong Li was shocked when he heard this.

Yuan Li secretly smiled in his heart, but there was grief and anger on his face, “King Yan has no way, and wanted to murder the wealthy family of Shanggu County. After discussing with Gao Yuan, your father returned to the inn, but he was set on fire and killed by King Yan’s men. , led the army to crusade against the King of Yan, but now he is trapped in Wubao by the soldiers of the King of Yan.”

“Is this really the case?” Zhong Li was distraught.

“If you don’t believe me, Captain Zhong can lead his troops to Shanggu City. If it is true, I hope that Captain Zhong can rescue Gao Junshou when he takes revenge.” Yuan Li said.

Zhong Li’s eyes were bloodshot, “The last general will go to Shanggu City.”

…

Shanggu City.

Waited for two days.

Ten artillery arrived at Shanggu City under the escort of more than 500 soldiers.

Also coming are artillerymen who have been training for several days.

They have mastered the firing process of artillery.

“My baby.”

Seeing the cannon, Chang Wei wished he could go up and kiss him hard.

In his view, this is the beginning of a qualitative change in the royal army.

When the artillery in the army is in place, the Yuan family’s 150,000 Xuanjia army is just a pile of meat in front of him.

As for Beidi people, they may not be able to fight in field battles, but they can definitely remain invincible in defending the city.

Mo Yu was more controllable than Chang Wei, but there was also excitement on his face.

“Bring the artillery to Gaojiawu Fort, it’s time to end the chaos in Shanggu County.” Zhao Xu said.

During this period of time, he has noticed and worried about the affairs of Shanggu County.

In his own land, his instructions could not be unimpeded, which reminded him of the bad situation in Yanjun at that time.

Therefore, when the plateau ambush wanted to kill him, not only did he not feel angry at all, on the contrary he was very forthright.

He was finally able to quickly solve the powerful forces in Shanggu County through the violent machine of the army, and he was also famous for his success.

Even if it comes to the court, he is not afraid at all.

“Yes, Your Highness, let’s go!”

Chang Wei slapped the cannon again and shouted loudly.
