Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 401

[Chapter 401 Trap]

Weng City.

Qingfengkou is shrouded in the cloud of war, but the battle here has started.

The 400,000 troops were each in charge of attacking one side, and the sound of artillery continued.

The whole war is filled with white smoke.

“Majestic, really majestic!”

Zhao Heng sat in front of the South Camp, listening to the sound of the rumbling cannons, watching the splash of blue bricks smashed by the shells on the top of the city, his eyes glowed with excitement.

Although I have seen the power of the artillery, so many artillery fires are more shocking than a single artillery.

The second prince was by Zhao Heng’s side. Hearing what his father said, he felt sour in his heart.

How did this crazy and stupid King Yan, who was bullied by him all the year round in the capital, open his head, and how did he make these things?

Perhaps it is really a high-level person who helps, but why does the high-level person help a lowly prince like him?

“Father, the king of Yan was able to win consecutive victories only by relying on artillery. Now that our Chinese army has artillery, it is not difficult to capture this Wengcheng. Look at the top of the city, the Xiliang soldiers shrank their heads in fright. ” said the second prince.

Zhao Heng naturally saw this, and couldn’t help showing a complacent expression on his face.

Yang Feng frowned, and the soldiers of the imperial army were filling in the moat.

There are enough ladders and so on, as long as the river is filled, the city can be attacked.

What puzzled him was that a long inner street could be seen from the city gate that was blasted open at this moment.

The Xiliang generals guarding Wengcheng do not appear to have erected barriers at the city gates.

This is a bit weird.

“Boss, it is said that King Yan now sells cannons for profit, so now all of Dasong’s army is equipped with cannons. If things go on like this, it will be really bad for me in Xiliang.” On the

city wall.

Wu Yan and a general hid behind the wall, amidst the sound of the rumbling guns, both of them looked dignified.

Because Ma Jin took refuge in Xiliang, after the Great Song Northern Expedition, this Qinzhou could also be guarded by Xiliang and the Ma family together.

But this time, Beidi did not sit on the sidelines, but discussed the countermeasures with Xiliang from the beginning, and is now taking action.

“Beidi promised us in Xiliang that as long as this battle is fought, he will send us the cannon and the method of casting the cannon.” Wu Yan said with a gloomy expression.

The last time the Tiemu Pagoda came, it made Xiliang humiliate Da Song.

Their Shan Yu Murong Hao naturally knew that this would lead to a war.

Although Xiliang returned the third prince according to Tiemuta’s order.

But everything is just the beginning, the most important thing is the next war.

In order to let Xiliang cooperate with Beidi’s plan, Mu Lehongzhen sent another envoy.

In addition to sending 30 cannons this time, he also promised to teach the art of cannon casting after the war.

It was this huge temptation that made their Shan Yu Murong Hao make up his mind to fight Da Song.

It’s just that their Shan Yu Murong Hao knew that it might not be easy to defeat the imperial army and the powerful army equipped with cannons.

So they and Beidi carefully designed a trap, only waiting for the fish to take the bait.

“Haha, that’s great. With artillery, we can fight back with artillery.” Zheng Jiang looked excited.

Wu Yan nodded, and looked at the trembling soldiers on the city wall.

Among the 300,000 Xiliang troops that entered Qinzhou this time, all the soldiers under his command were recruits.

Most of these recruits are recruits from Xiliang who were forcibly conscripted into the army.

Another 12,000 recruits were from Xiliang.

The remaining 8,000 people are his personal guards.

Including 5,000 elite cavalry, 800 iron kites and 2,200 infantry.

Now, all the guards guarding the city are bumper soldiers. They have just been sent to the battlefield from the farmland. This behavior is perfectly normal.

But no matter how terrified they were, no one escaped from the city wall right now.

Because the ones waiting below are his personal guards, and they are acting as the supervising team at the moment.

“When the Dasong people fill in the moat and enter the city, we will protrude from the north gate.” Wu Yan said.

It is undoubtedly impossible to rely on these recruits to defend the Dasong army with artillery.

Basically, these recruits did not receive much training. They were just given military uniforms and armor, and they were driven into Wengcheng after they were stuffed with weapons.

Indifferently, unlike Anxi’s responsibilities, he is not on the defensive, and can choose to break out at any time.

That’s why he led eight thousand personal guards. As for the remaining recruits, life and death didn’t matter to him.

Two days later.

The narrow moat of Wengcheng was filled with sandbags to create a road.

At this time, with the loud sound of horns, all the Northern Expedition troops on the four walls of the east, west, north, south, and north launched an attack on the city.

Some soldiers rushed in directly from the city gate, while those carrying ladders climbed up the city wall to fight.

Xiliang soldiers began to counterattack.

It’s just that their counterattack was very weak in front of Dasong soldiers.

The archers seem to have not been trained, the arrows have no strength, and they are not accurate when they are shot.

The Forbidden Army soldiers who climbed up the city wall roared, ready to die to fight with Xiliang soldiers.

But when these Xiliang soldiers saw them, they huddled together like sheep meeting a wolf.

Exchanging glances with other Imperial Guard soldiers, they rushed forward.

Soldiers from Xiliang were forced to engage them, but they didn’t wield their swords in any way.

In an instant, the fighting Xiliang soldiers were killed by him.

This excited the soldiers of the Imperial Army. He cut off the ears of the dead Xiliang soldiers, and immediately rushed to the next Xiliang soldier.

As more and more soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the city wall, Xiliang soldiers retreated steadily.

The battle went so smoothly that many soldiers of the Forbidden Army even forgot to fight and began to scramble for his ears.

At this moment, the army of the power clan also suffered the same situation as the soldiers of the imperial army.

Xiliang soldiers were vulnerable, as if they were fighting a group of bandits.

“Hahaha… they have entered the city, they have entered the city.”

In front of the South Gate camp, Zhao Heng stood up, pointing at the imperial soldiers occupying the city wall, his face flushed with excitement.

They will win the first battle.

“Your Majesty, this is a bit wrong. There may be an ambush in the city of Xiliang, so soldiers can’t pour into the city like this.” Yang Feng frowned.

How could it be possible that a city guarded by 100,000 people would be breached on the third day after being bombarded for only two days.

He only suspected that there was a conspiracy in it.

Hearing this, the second prince was dissatisfied and said, “General Yang, shouldn’t my Northern Expedition army have won so easily, and have to be beaten to blood by the Xiliang people? Let me tell you, the Xiliang people must have been frightened by the artillery. With

a slight smile, he continued: “Father, now you should understand why King Yan has won many battles, all because of this artillery. With artillery, you will be invincible, Father!” Everything can be conquered.”

Zhao Heng’s heart became hotter than ever before.

He always believed that King Yan won because of the artillery, and now he is even more convinced.

He said to the second prince: “Well, that’s true, the cannons are so powerful, it really is my Shenwei General.”

Among these cannons was the Shenwei General he named at that time.

Thinking of this, he smiled even more with a relaxed expression.

“Your majesty, be careful.” Seeing that Zhao Heng believed the words of the second prince, Yang Feng became anxious.

“General Yang, don’t be alarmist. Xiliang has been defeated. This is a fact. There can be no ambush in the city.” Seeing that Yang Feng wanted to continue persuading him, the second prince sneered.

Doubts flashed across Zhao Heng’s mind.

He still believed that Yang Feng was a veteran.

Just as he was about to withdraw his soldiers, he sent a small soldier into the city to explore the way. At this moment, a cavalryman came on horseback, got off his horse and said, “Your Majesty, a general from Xiliang has escaped from the north gate.” The

north gate is the Han family. Guarded by the soldiers and horses of the Wang family, the second prince looked embarrassed for a moment, then turned his eyes, and shouted loudly: “Congratulations to father, congratulations to father, great victory in the first battle, since the Xiliang general has escaped, Wengcheng has been taken! As soon as

his words fell, another cavalry came to report, “Your Majesty, the Xiliang soldiers were vulnerable and fled everywhere after being beaten by our army!”

“Win! Really won!” Zhao Heng murmured, the joy in his heart For the first time, joy surpassed the joy of fish and water with Xiao Shishi.

The most important thing is that this meritorious service will be recorded on his head. This is the meritorious service of the emperor. He really chose the right choice for this imperial conquest.

Dasong will destroy Xiliang and Beidi.

“Hahaha…” He couldn’t help laughing out loud.

The second prince showed a smile on his face and did not forget to slander Yang Feng, “Father, my son is right, if it wasn’t for the siege of the city, which made Xiliang soldiers despair and panic, how could they win so easily today?”

Zhao Heng Zheng Xing nodded again and again, “The emperor has some foresight this time, very good, very good.”

“Thank you father for the compliment.” The second prince was overjoyed.

Yang Feng looked at Zhao Heng and his son, and his heart sank into a cold pool.

What the hell is going on here? He really couldn’t figure it out.

It’s just that he knows that after this battle, Zhao Heng will no longer obey his advice.
