Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 399

[Chapter 399]

Weng City.

When the cavalry of the four northern counties adopted guerrilla tactics against the black iron king’s tent,

the 400,000 troops assembled in Wuguan set up camp here after they set off.

Tents next to each other, like a white ocean, surrounded the dark-colored Wengcheng, leaving only a gap in the north of the Wengcheng.

In the middle of the camp to the south of Wengcheng, a tent that was more than three times the size of an ordinary soldier’s tent stood out.

The colorful embroidery on the clean and tidy cloth is full of dragons and phoenixes.

A circle of golden lines surrounds the tent, and a small golden bell hangs from it.

In front of the tent, soldiers of the Imperial Army wearing silver plate armor rested their long swords on their shoulders and stared ahead.

It makes the tent even more intimidating.

It’s just that right now, the tent doesn’t seem to be very harmonious, and there are waves of quarrels coming from it.

“Your Majesty, although Old General Yang has experienced hundreds of battles, I think that we should not leave a gap in the west to give the Xiliang soldiers a chance to flee, and we should wipe them out in one fell swoop, otherwise they will flee into Xiancheng, and Xiancheng will be even worse. It’s hard to attack.” The second prince Zhao Qu glanced at Yang Feng and said to Zhao Heng who was sitting on the tiger leather chair.

During the Northern Expedition, the Han family agreed to send troops. In addition to Dou Wei’s pressure, there was Dou Wei’s lobbying, and he agreed to go with the army and serve Zhao Heng.

For him, this is an excellent opportunity for him to make military achievements.

Now the third prince can no longer compete with him. If he can make contributions in the Northern Expedition this time, the position of crown prince will be at his fingertips.

It’s just that the command of the Northern Expedition is in the hands of Yang Feng.

All affairs in the army are dispatched by him.

In this way, he seems to be just a decoration in the army.

The outcome of the war has nothing to do with him.

But since he came, how can he go in vain, he must show his talent in front of his father.

Fighting with Yang Feng for military power, the general will take part of the credit on himself.

So after Yang Feng proposed the strategy of encircling three and missing one, he has been opposing it.

In his view, there are more than 400,000 Chinese troops, and the Forbidden Army, the Dou family, the Han family, and the Wang family have a total of more than 300 artillery pieces.

Such a strong force can completely wipe out all Xiliang soldiers and horses in the city.

“The second prince is right.”

“I have an army of 400,000 to fight 100,000. Why should I be so cautious? Even if an ambush is set up in the north, many of them will surely escape.”

“Since it is the first battle, the morale of the Xiliang people must be destroyed. Why bother to shrink back.”

“…”

The other generals in the camp began to chatter.

Zhao Heng frowned when he heard the words. He was not very proficient in fighting, but subconsciously felt that the second prince was right.

Because he also wanted to wipe out the defenders of Xiliang in the city, so that the first battle of the Northern Expedition could be fought more beautifully.

It’s just that since he ordered Yang Feng to be the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, it’s not good to refute his military order in the first battle.

But now that the second prince and a group of generals objected, he couldn’t help being shaken, so he said: “Marshal Yang, tell me your reasoning.”

Yang Feng was silent for a while, glanced at the second prince and the generals, and said: “Your Majesty, according to As the general knows, His Royal Highness King Yan often used this tactic when attacking Jincheng, and the results were often very good. If the enemies in the city were not saved, their resistance would often be fierce and would cause a lot of casualties to our army.”

After pondering for a while, he continued: ” If the damage is too great just in Wengcheng, how will we go to fight Xiancheng next? Furthermore, according to the information sent back by Tan Ma, there is no movement in Beidi, and no movement is the most dangerous, so it is not appropriate to fight to the death in Wengcheng , but should take down the Wengcheng as soon as possible, so that the army can be stationed, so as not to be attacked by Beidi and Xiliang.”

“The old general is right.” Zhao Heng nodded.

“Father, General Yang’s words are wrong. When King Yan attacked Jincheng, he besieged the city from all sides. He wiped out the Xiliang soldiers in the city and killed Murong Wuji. It can be seen that when there is a superior force, there is no need to encircle all three.” The second prince Yang At first, “As for Beidi, we only need to order the scouts to patrol, and if there is any movement, take precautions as soon as possible.”

Zhao Heng’s frown deepened.

The two strikes seemed to make sense, but he didn’t know what to do.

“The siege of the city will last for a long time, and it will easily change after a long time.” Seeing the aggressiveness of the second prince, Yang Feng couldn’t help being a little annoyed.

“If the tiger returns to the mountain, the tiger will only make a comeback.”

“…” The

second prince refused to budge, and the two began to argue sentence by sentence.

At this moment, a middle-aged general said: “Your Majesty, since General Yang and the Second Prince are both reasonable, it is better to take a compromise method and attack the city from all sides first. If Xiliang soldiers fight to the death, our army will be difficult to conquer, so we will withdraw.” On the one hand, we will attack separately.”

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, “What General Dou said makes sense, why not compromise.”

“Your Majesty!” Yang Feng clasped his fists and wanted to say something.

But Zhao Heng just waved his hands, “Okay, you all go out, I’m tired.”

Yang Feng sighed, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The second prince’s expression turned pale, and he left one after another with the other generals.

When everyone went out of the tent, Liang Cheng led a man with his head covered and a cape inside.

The second prince and generals are used to it.

Just glanced at him for a while, the second prince said to the middle-aged general

beside him : “General Dou Xiao, thank you just now.” King Yan fights like this, so is it true that King Yan is the only one who knows how to fight, and I’m just waiting for the wine bag and rice bag?” Dou Xiao snorted coldly.

Although his compromise seems to be a reconciliation, it is actually biased towards the second prince.

After all, it was Yang Feng’s decision on how to fight Wengcheng.

Now there are two sets of methods, and the second prince’s method is still ahead.

“General Dou is too right. Besides, the powerful clans have joined forces with the enemy, so how can Yang Feng be allowed to fight as he wants?” The second prince said, he was trying to win over other powerful clan generals, so Speak on their side.

The powerful generals nodded upon hearing this.

Although they had to fight this time, they couldn’t let Yang Feng control them.

Therefore, they quickly gathered around the second prince, and restrained Yang Feng through the second prince.

After all, they didn’t want to be sent up by Yang Feng to take the lead.

“Hey, I’m afraid this time the Northern Expedition won’t be able to accomplish anything.” Returning to his camp, Yang Feng glanced at the second prince and the generals gathered around the second prince.

Immediately, he let out a sigh.

The first military order issued by himself, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, was opposed. How will he command the Northern Expedition army in the future.

What kind of battle can the Central Route Army fight with such internal intrigue?

“A powerful family is a powerful family after all, even if they are willing to fight, they still have their own ideas.” Yang Feng secretly said.

Then he looked to the east, in the direction of Weicheng.

He felt that perhaps the only good thing about this Northern Expedition was that King Yan was not allowed to come.

Otherwise, King Yan would definitely be caught in an endless battle at this moment, unable to concentrate on fighting at all.
