Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 302

[Chapter 302 The Despicable Horse Family]

Huai County.

Liu Tan stood on the hill and looked at the Xiliang army not far away.

In the past few days, he led his subordinates to move continuously.

Let the Xiliang reinforcements be led by their tails.

But today, the Xiliang reinforcements suddenly stopped chasing them and chose to march south.

He guessed that the generals of the Xiliang reinforcements must have thought that they had been tricked.

Put down the binoculars.

Liu Tan looked back at the soldiers resting in the forest.

Now, the food bags on the soldiers are almost bottomed out.

Every soldier has tiredness and hunger on his face.

In order to delay the Xiliang reinforcements as much as possible.

He ordered the soldiers to save enough food for ten days, but it dragged on for another three or four days.

But he knew that he couldn’t drag on any longer.

Otherwise, more soldiers will be left behind.

“Return to Hengshan County.” Liu Tan ordered, his task has been overfulfilled.

I only hope that King Yan can take Xincheng smoothly at this moment.

now.

Among the Xiliang army, Ji Li sat on the horse with a gloomy expression.

After wandering around Huaicheng for a few days, he realized that this was not King Yan’s army at all.

First of all, this army marched too fast, and they often retreated immediately before they arrived.

Second, he did not see any pits left by the stove.

This shows that this army has no intention of attacking the city at all.

Otherwise, it is impossible to cook without burying the pot.

After all, it is very difficult to win the city in just a few days.

It’s just that bringing your own dry food to attack the city is the way to death.

In the end, this army was going to attack Huaicheng, but then suddenly went to clear the customs.

After they arrived near Tongguan, the army circled back to Huaicheng.

They rushed back to Huaicheng again, and the army appeared near Ying County again.

This is obviously playing them like monkeys.

Undoubtedly, in his opinion, this must be a trick of making a fuss. ‘

The current King Yan’s army must have been attacking Xincheng and Jincheng.

“Xin City only has more than 6,000 defenders, and I’m afraid it has fallen into the hands of King Yan.” Thinking of this, Ji Li’s eyes became more and more gloomy.

Then he thought of Jincheng.

Murong Wuji is now in Jincheng.

If King Yan attacked Jincheng, Murong Wuji might not be able to escape.

The most important thing is that once Jincheng is lost, their emperor Murong Hao will not let them go.

Back in Xiliang, they feared that they could only spend the rest of their lives in prison.

“Travel day and night, hurry back to Jincheng, and we must not let King Yan’s plan succeed.” Ji Li said to the general beside him: “Quicken up the marching speed immediately.” In a

day and a half, they were still sixty miles away from Jinjun. To the Xiliang scouts who came to pass on the military information.

“Xincheng was conquered by King Yan, and King Yan’s army is besieging Jincheng at the moment, please quickly lead the army to help, attack from both sides, and defeat King Yan.”

After hearing the scout’s words, Ji Li’s heart skipped a beat.

He hit everything.

“Rush to Jincheng immediately without delay,” Ji Li said.

Hearing this, a general said: “Deputy leader, the soldiers are already very tired after marching for days. The last general thinks it’s time to rest for a day and recover enough strength before marching.”

“When you rest and recover, Jincheng may have fallen into Yan In the hands of the king.” Ji Li said angrily, “It’s not too late to rest when you arrive in Jincheng.”

After hearing this, Zheng Jiang hesitated to speak, sighed slightly and retreated.

…

Jincheng.

At this moment the cannons boomed.

After a short rest in Xincheng for half a day, he and Chang Wei led the troops to Jincheng.

After arriving, they found that Jincheng was heavily guarded.

So he ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and at the same time ordered the continuous bombardment of the northern city gate with artillery.

Reinforcements are to be fought, and Jincheng is also to be taken.

Therefore, the shelling was also to prepare for the subsequent attack on Jincheng.

This Jincheng city has high walls and thick walls, so a hard attack will inevitably result in many casualties.

So he planned to use artillery to grab a point on the city wall and bombard it continuously.

As the saying goes, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

Although a day or two may not be able to blow down this section of the city wall.

But as long as you persevere, you will always succeed.

After all, during the contemporary Ming and Qing wars, many city walls were destroyed.

At the same time, he sent scouts to the north to investigate and monitor the movement of reinforcements from Xiliang at any time.

Once Xiliang’s reinforcements enter Jin County, they will be ready.

“Your Highness, the Ma family’s army is currently in Linjun, about 200 miles away from Jincheng. After conquering three counties, they are currently besieging Lincheng, and there are 30,000 Xiliang soldiers in Lincheng.” Zhao Xu was looking at the artillerymen. Bombard the walls.

At this time, a detective came to report.

After entering Jinzhou, he asked Chang Wei to send scouts to monitor the movements of the Ma family.

“There are more than 30,000 people in Lincheng? So there are fewer soldiers and horses in Jincheng than we thought, no wonder Murong Wuji didn’t dare to fight.” Zhao Xu murmured.

“The war has been going on for a month now, and it’s not too late for them to reach Lincheng.” Chang Wei pondered.

Zhao Xu nodded.

Xiliang soldiers and horses are mainly concentrated in the central and northern parts of Jinzhou, while the southern part is sparsely populated.

But even so, the Ma family certainly couldn’t act as quickly as his royal soldiers.

But because the Ma family played pretty well, he felt a little abnormal.

Or is the Ma family sincerely attacking Xiliang with him this time?

After pondering for a while, he threw the matter out of his mind again.

At the moment, it is better to win the reinforcements from Xiliang.

now.

Murong Wuji in Jincheng listened to the burst of loud noise, his face was agitated.

Before, he just heard a lot of rumors about artillery.

In the past two days, Yan Wang’s soldiers and horses used artillery, and he saw the true power of artillery.

With one shot, the walls of Jincheng city walls were shattered.

Soldiers were even more miserable when they were hit directly.

He originally thought of closing the city and ordering King Yan’s soldiers to attack the city, and relying on the strength of Jincheng to consume King Yan’s soldiers and horses.

Unexpectedly, in the past two days, King Yan’s soldiers and horses only besieged the city, but did not attack it.

It’s just that artillery bombarded the city wall of the north gate day and night.

He wants to go out and fight.

But King Yan’s artillery was facing the city gate again, and going out was like courting death.

What’s more, in fact, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city at the moment.

Now, he can only stay in Jincheng, listening to the sound of King Yan’s artillery, unable to do anything.

The only hope is that Geely can come back soon and attack King Yan’s army from behind.

He was fighting out from the city, smashing King Yan’s soldiers and horses.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help feeling a little resentful.

Then I suddenly thought of the Ma family.

Two days ago, the Ma family’s 100,000 troops arrived in Lincheng.

He immediately ordered the defender of Lincheng to send someone to meet with the Ma family.

Since Ma’s family entered Jinzhou, he has taken the initiative to ask the guards in several counties to withdraw after a false fight.

And the Ma family also fulfilled their promise, deliberately letting the Xiliang soldiers in the city retreat.

Now that Jincheng is in crisis, he only hopes that the Ma family will get the news of Jincheng’s siege and find a way to relieve Jincheng’s crisis.

Or let the 30,000 defenders in Lincheng go to Jincheng, or other strategies will work.

However, at the same time he was a little worried.

If the Ma family sees that the situation is wrong, they will definitely regret it.

This time Xiliang was completely defeated in Jinzhou.
