Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 402

[Chapter 402]

red sunset covered the sky, and the red halo enveloped Wengcheng.

On a short hill thirty miles away from Wengcheng, Wu Yan and the generals looked back.

After they broke through, Da Song’s army did not come after them.

It seemed clear that this centaur was not as easy to provoke as those weak soldiers in the city.

“I hope they will be fooled by the death of so many son-in-laws,” said a general.

Wu Yan sneered, before the Dasong Northern Expedition army arrived, they made a plan to deal with the Dasong Northern Expedition.

And when the Great Song army arrived at the corresponding location, they responded immediately.

The task of Anxi, the leader in charge of Weicheng in the east, was to block the Ma family’s army.

And his task is to feign defeat and lure the enemy to go deep.

As far as possible, lead the soldiers and horses commanded by Emperor Dasong to Xiancheng.

If Emperor Dasong arrives in Xiancheng, they will continue to lure the enemy to Yongzhou.

Now we just have to see if this group of people will be fooled.

If they don’t fall for it, it’s a little more troublesome.

But with Beidi’s help, he believed that they would not lose in this battle, and they would definitely hit Dasong hard.

“Anyway, the ones who died were Song people, so there’s no pity.” Wu Yan snorted, reined in his horse and headed north, he was going to Xiancheng.

Weng City.

Accompanied by Yang Feng and the second prince, Zhao Heng walked slowly through the city gate.

After Dasong soldiers invaded the city, Xiliang soldiers surrendered in large numbers.

In just two hours, Dasong soldiers took control of the entire city.

“Father, my son thinks that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Xiancheng after a two-day rest. In this way, Qinzhou can be obtained.” Looking at the Xiliang soldiers escorted by Dasong soldiers, the second prince was very energetic.

He thought that this time it was because of his strategy that he took down Wengcheng so easily.

Therefore, his confidence increased greatly, and he wanted to further seize the right to speak of the Northern Expeditionary Army from Yang Feng.

Zhao Heng’s spirits were also uplifted by Wengcheng’s victory.

Now he has the same thought as the second prince, King Yan wins again and again, relying on artillery.

That being the case, he may not be invincible.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

The credit for taking back Qinzhou and Yongzhou is better than that of Jinzhou alone.

“Your Majesty, from the general’s point of view, this is probably Xiliang’s scheme. The general ordered these Xiliang soldiers to be interrogated. They are all new recruits. This is not right.” Yang Feng always felt that this victory came too easy.

“My 700,000 army marched to the north, and Xiliang’s troops must be stretched. It’s normal to recruit new soldiers. General Yang, you must be too careful.” The second prince squinted at Yang Feng, only to feel that the veteran looked more and more obtrusive.

Yang Feng ignored the second prince, he just wanted the Northern Expedition to go smoothly, even if he was despised by the second prince and others, he didn’t care.

Seeing that Zhao Heng was silent, he knew that the emperor was eager to make a conquest for himself.

He said: “Your Majesty, at least you have to wait for the soldiers of the Ma family and the soldiers of the Xiao family, so that they will be safe.” When

Yang Feng mentioned the Ma family, the second prince showed displeasure. The Ma family that Ma Han was in charge of was not what they liked The Ma family, he said: “Father, General Yang has always spoken for the King of Yan and the Ma family in the court, and I think he is afraid that we will take the credit.”

“Second Highness, the Northern Expedition is just a joke, how can you Misleading the emperor again and again, I’m afraid it will cause disaster.” Yang Feng finally couldn’t help it, and yelled loudly.

Zhao Qu’s face was swollen, he was the second prince of Dasong, how could he bear the scolding of a fallen veteran like Yang Feng, “You are the one who bewitched the father, the father took down Wengcheng, and you didn’t have a good word from the beginning to the end, What do you mean?”

“Enough!” Zhao Heng shouted, “This time the Northern Expedition should be a concerted effort, how can it be so noisy.”

Seeing that Zhao Heng was angry, the two shut up and stopped talking.

With a snort, Zhao Heng said: “Even though most of Wengcheng is recruited, it is enough to see Xiliang’s current weakness. Besides, the soldiers are extremely fast. We should take Xiancheng before Beidi’s reinforcements arrive, and then use Xiancheng as a fortress to defend against it.” Beidi.”

Looking to the east, he continued: “Of course, it would be best if the three armies could arrive at Xiancheng at the same time, but if not, it’s okay for the Chinese army to take the first step, just set up camp and wait.”

Then he said: “Yang Feng, you immediately send scouts to contact the Ma family and the Xiao family to find out how their current battle situation is, and then make a decision.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Yang Feng replied yes.

Not long after, the two teams of scouts headed east and west respectively.

…

Qingfengkou.

The frequency of visiting horses and going back and forth is getting higher and higher.

They kept sending the progress of the Black Iron King’s Tent.

In the rest of the day, the distance to visit the horse and report kept getting shorter and shorter.

“Your Highness, there are still seventy miles before they can arrive.”

“Your Highness, they have reached the bastion thirty miles away.”

“Your Highness, they are logging and camping five miles away.”

“Your Highness, we found Beidi soldiers carrying artillery. ”

…”

“Cannon!”

Upon hearing the news, both Chang Wei and Zhao Xu were taken aback.

Chang Wei said, “His Royal Highness is really planning ahead. In this war, Beidi has indeed invested artillery.”

Although he was surprised, he was not afraid, because he knew that the range and power of the improved artillery were much stronger than Beidi’s artillery.

Zhao Xu paid attention to the style of Beidi’s artillery, so he asked, “What do their artillery look like?”

“Your Highness, it’s green.” The soldier replied.

“It really is bronze, the news is correct.” Zhao Xu nodded, so he was relieved.

Then he said to Chang Wei: “Old rules, you are in command of the battle, this time the mortar can come in handy.”

There is no doubt that Enke will definitely let the soldiers attack the city with the artillery this time. At that time, the mortar can play its role.

Chang Wei licked his lips, excited for a while.

This time they don’t need to throw firecrackers anymore, the lime bombs fired by the mortars are large and full.

In the afternoon, thousands of Beidi soldiers suddenly appeared from the mountain road and the woods on both sides of the mountain road, and appeared in front of the bastion.

Although the mountain road is very narrow, the mountains on both sides of Qingfengkou are still very long, enough for thousands of people to attack at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu turned around and said to Chang Wei: “Get ready to meet the enemy!”

Chang Wei responded, and immediately led the soldiers of Ling Wangfu into the battle positions of the bastion.

The artillery general Tang Qing also shouted to the artillerymen at this time: “Everyone cheer me up, this time I have enough ammunition, hit me hard!”

“Yes!” All the artillerymen shouted in unison.

At the same time, he made preparations when he was in charge of the mortar.

Zhao Xu searched the mountain road and the forests on both sides with binoculars. According to Tan Ma’s report, there were 30,000 soldiers who came to Beidi this time. He knew that it wasn’t Enke who thought that only 30,000 soldiers were needed to fight the bastion.

But too many people can’t spread out in Yanshan, and it is easy to cause confusion.

But it is precisely because of this reason that he is not nervous.

The black iron king’s tent has more troops than him, but because they can’t deploy their troops, they actually took advantage of the war.

After all, the special structure of the bastion allows it to accommodate more soldiers with the same length.

The jagged structure of the bastion is now filled with soldiers.
