Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 409

[Chapter 409 Bold Plan]

“Kill!” The soldiers were full of fighting spirit, and King Yan’s shouts made their morale high, and they wanted to shout out their throats.

The sound of rumbling footsteps was beating like a war drum, and the servants who heard the sound put down their weapons and surrendered to the soldiers of King Yan.

When Qin Shan led the soldiers to rush over, he encountered almost no resistance along the way, and there were servants of Beidi kneeling on the ground everywhere.

It was getting brighter and brighter.

Everything in the valley gradually became clear.

On the mountain road, Chang Wei began to order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Because of the night raid, most of the Beidi soldiers did not mount their horses, and a large number of horses were tied to the trees in the mountains and forests.

In addition to the war horses, there are also many slaves from the Black Iron King’s Tent, and these slaves are all the faces of Da Song people.

There is no doubt that they were looted by Enke from Ningjindusi and from Yanzhou.

Cleaning up the battlefield continued until noon, and Chang Wei sent over the battle report.

“Your Highness, more than 13,000 Beidi soldiers were killed this time, more than 9,000 were captured, and the rest escaped. In addition, there were 30,000 horses and more than 3,000 civilians.” Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu nodded.

For him, this night raid was just the beginning.

The four northern counties have become barren due to the annual looting of the Black Iron King’s Tent. This time he wants to get back the debt owed by the Black Iron King’s Tent.

So he said to Chang Wei: “Is this battle comfortable?”

“Of course comfortable.” Chang Wei laughed twice.

Zhao Xu smiled lightly, “There is an even more comfortable battle coming up. You must mobilize your chariots immediately. Before, Beidi always crossed Yanshan Mountain. This time we will also cross Yanshan Mountain once, completely disabling the Black Iron King’s Tent.”

Chang Wei’s eyes widened instantly, and his lips trembled.

For him, this is an unprecedented feat. For Da Song, Beidi is a nightmare.

Day and night defenses are not at ease, and now the King of Yan is going to cross Yanshan Mountain and attack Beidi.

So excited that he even forgot to say anything, Chang Wei ran out and ordered the chariots to be mobilized.

Chen Hu and Zhong Li were still tossing about on the grassland, taking advantage of the defeat of the Black Iron King’s Tent at Qingfengkou, it was the best time to attack.

…

Xiancheng.

Zhao Heng sat in the tent of the Chinese army, looking at the retreating soldiers.

Since the camp was set up, the defenders in Xiancheng took up positions in front of the city and fought with them.

In the past two days, the armies of the two sides fought several times. There were victories and losses.

However, whether it is him or the general in the army, he is still full of confidence now.

Because they knew the number of soldiers and horses in Xiancheng, even if it was wasted, they couldn’t afford it.

“Still nothing was detected?” Yang Feng stood in front of Zhao Heng.

At this moment, a general who was probing the horse came over, and Yang Feng asked immediately.

“Back to the general, there is nothing abnormal around Xiancheng.” The general said.

Yang Feng nodded, but he became more and more confused.

While setting up a village in Xiancheng, he sent scouts to patrol around Xiancheng.

For several days, there is no news about Beidi.

Zhao Heng glanced at Yang Feng, “General Yang, it’s a good thing to be careful, but it’s not a good thing to be too careful. Right now Xiancheng has only 200,000 soldiers and horses. Take it quickly. If you wait ten and a half months as you said , it will really change later.” The

second prince’s face was full of complacency.

He is not stupid. When he was in Wengcheng, he secretly ordered the Han family to go to Xiancheng to investigate.

But everything shows that there are indeed only Xiliang and Ma Jin’s troops around Xiancheng.

Only then did he urge the Chinese army to go to Xiancheng.

Now Yang Feng has inspected for another three days, but there is still nothing abnormal.

This undoubtedly proves that he has made the right decision again.

Now, he even admired himself a little.

It turns out that marching and fighting is so simple.

He should have volunteered to go to Jinzhou to fight Xiliang in the first place.

Yang Feng remained silent, he did not refute, but doubts still abounded in his heart.

The second prince said: “Father, from my son’s point of view, this Xiliang is too arrogant, Wengcheng just used recruits to deal with us, but now he has set up an formation outside the city to fight against us.”

“These years, Da Song and Xiliang Naturally, they underestimated us.” Zhao Heng snorted coldly, “It’s just that today’s Northern Expeditionary Army has artillery and muskets, but it’s not the army of the past.”

Yang Feng remained silent.

The Xiliang people did not stay behind closed doors and guard the city, but chose to fight outside the city. This is because the generals in the city are confident that they can defeat Da Song’s army in the field.

In the previous wars of Dasong, it was not uncommon for the defending side to go out of the city to confront each other.

The second prince has his reasons for thinking so.

Is everything from the exit to the present really so simple?

He didn’t believe it, but he couldn’t produce evidence.

It is said that it is the intuition of a veteran who has fought many battles, but the current emperor’s interest will naturally ignore it, not to mention that there is a second prince who is obstructing it.

Thinking of this, he sighed faintly.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

At this time, the sound of horns resounded across the battlefield.

At noon, the soldiers on both sides had to rest and eat.

We will continue to fight again in the afternoon.

…

Xiancheng.

Gu Le, Wu Yan, and Ma Jin set up a small table under the city wall, and the three of them drank leisurely.

“Gule, this Dasong army is indeed more difficult than before. Many of our soldiers were killed by the opponent’s artillery. If we only rely on our Xiliang, this time it will be really difficult.” Wu Yan drank a glass of wine, His brows furrowed.

Gu Le nodded, with a gloomy expression, “And the arquebus array of the Dasong Forbidden Army also caused our soldiers to eat a lot of bones. Fortunately, it took nearly 30 breaths to shoot one shot.”

From the captured Dasong soldiers From the mouth, they learned that the fire-breathing sticks in the hands of Dasong soldiers were called matchlock guns.

During the battle in the morning, the Dasong army first bombarded them with artillery.

When they approached with casualties, they hit them with matchlock guns.

During hand-to-hand combat, these arquebus soldiers ran to the back again, and the spearmen and sword shieldmen stepped forward to fight with them.

This set of movements was very smooth, interrogating the captives and they knew that the Great Song Imperial Army had been trained by the generals sent by the King of Yan.

“If we continue to fight like this, I’m afraid we won’t last long.” Ma Jin was a little depressed.

Gu Le and Wu Yan looked at each other in the same way. In the two days of fighting, they basically let Ma Jin’s soldiers take the lead.

Ma Jin naturally felt sorry for his soldiers.

It’s just that because of this heavy blow to Da Song, they lost a hundred thousand Xiliang soldiers in Weicheng, so how could they care about Ma Jin’s soldiers.

Gu Le said: “Since it’s acting, it must be realistic. Weng Cheng is a recruit, so he can retreat quickly. If he retreats too fast now, I’m afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Emperor Da Song.”

“Yes, if you can persist How long, as long as it lasts, not to mention that it will take some time for the Beidi army to cross the river.” Wu Yan patted Ma Jin on the shoulder, “Think about it, this time you can’t stop Da Song from taking back Qinzhou and Yongzhou, what will happen to you?”

Ma Jin Jin’s heart tightened, and the Dasong people would naturally not let him go, a traitor to Dasong.

Gritting his teeth, he said: “The only thing we can do is to defeat Da Song, what is it to die!”
