Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 413

[Chapter 413]

“It seems that if you want to break this formation, you have to fight poison with poison, or charge with large-scale elite cavalry.” Gu Le said.

Fighting with the Great Song army these days, they’ve been thinking about how to deal with the combination of artillery and arquebus.

But they found that the shield that can be lifted cannot defend against matchlock guns, and the heavy shield that can resist matchlock guns is very bulky.

Now the facts have proved that in front of the artillery, these heavy shields have become accomplices in taking the lives of their soldiers.

Not as many people are killed by shells as by heavy shields.

Wu Yan nodded. This conclusion is equivalent to saying that the Dasong army is equipped with artillery and matchlock guns, and has mastered the battle formation suitable for firearms. Their Xiliang is no longer Dasong’s opponent.

“Now it seems that the alliance with Beidi may not be a bad thing, otherwise we will really be unable to stop the army of the Northern Expedition.” Wu Yan frowned.

At this time, the soldiers whose heavy shields were blown off by the artillery were routed.

The soldiers turned around and fled into Xiancheng.

“Hahaha…Okay, good fight!”

In front of the camp, Zhao Heng clapped his hands and laughed when he saw the enemy army was defeated.

In the first three days, they and the enemy soldiers in Xiancheng were evenly divided.

But in the next three days, basically they won more and lost less.

A rare smile appeared on Yang Feng’s face.

He could tell that the enemy army in the city was really fighting them.

But they really fell short.

At this time, he couldn’t help admiring King Yan even more.

If it weren’t for the firearms given by King Yan and the battle formation taught, how could the Great Song Imperial Army be as powerful as it is today.

It’s just a pity that the army of this war clan has learned the tactics of the imperial army.

I have learned a lot these days.

The second prince laughed in agreement, “Congratulations, father, congratulations, father, this Northern Expedition, father’s name will go down in history.”

Zhao Heng heard the words, and the laughter that had just stopped resumed.

Then, he said: “Father, after the six-day fight, the opponent has suffered more than 80,000 casualties. I thought that there is no need to fight against them every day. It is better to surround Xiancheng directly, launch a siege, and take Xiancheng.” Come on, after all, they always lose, and the elite must be exhausted, and the remaining soldiers and horses are vulnerable.”

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, very excited.

But seeing Yang Feng by his side, he couldn’t help asking, “What does General Yang think?”

Yang Feng said: “Since the enemy is willing to fight in the field and we have the upper hand, why not continue to fight to consume their strength, and wait until they dare not go out of the city to fight again ? If it is not too late to siege the city, it will also reduce the casualties of Dasong soldiers.”

“It’s just that I don’t want to wait any longer.” Zhao Heng suddenly smiled, “Surround Xiancheng now, and attack the city tomorrow.”

Yang Feng opened his mouth, and finally what Didn’t say anything.

He knew that all the decisions he made after leaving customs were contrary to the situation on the battlefield.

The emperor no longer trusted himself.

Zhao Heng’s order was issued, and the soldiers immediately took action under the leadership of the general.

Like running water meeting a river bank, they separated from the front of Xiancheng, and then wrapped Xiancheng within it.

This scene naturally fell into Gu Le’s eyes.

He and Wu Yan and Ma Jin looked at each other, and he said: “It is time to continue to retreat north, otherwise we will be trapped in Xiancheng, and the plan will fail.”

Wu Yan nodded, even though they wanted to delay it for eight days.

But the situation forced them to advance.

that night.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky in Xiancheng.

The red light illuminates the Dasong camp in Xiancheng.

Just when Dasong soldiers were attracted by the flames.

Suddenly the north gate suspension bridge in Xiancheng was lowered.

A large number of black cavalry rushed out like a beast in the dark night.

Holding torches and scimitars, they killed all the way north.

Behind the cavalry were a large number of Xiliang soldiers.

They were not fond of fighting, they just ran behind the cavalry.

“Your Majesty, Xiliang soldiers and horses rushed out from the north gate and fled towards Yongzhou!”

Zhao Heng was wearing a thick fox fur, and the sky was reddened by the fire in Xiancheng, which naturally woke him up.

Like many soldiers and generals, he was wondering what happened in Xiancheng?

Even he was a little lucky for a time, hoping that there would be a rebellion in the city.

Now that the general came to report, he immediately understood.

It turned out that this was a movement deliberately created by Xiliang to break out of the siege.

“Your Majesty, do you want to pursue?” the general asked again.

“No need, it’s pitch black, how can we tell the enemy from us?” Zhao Heng yawned, “Order the soldiers to guard the camp and enter the city tomorrow.”

Even if he didn’t know anything about war, he knew that it was impossible to chase the enemy at night when he couldn’t see his fingers.

And even if they catch up, once they get into a melee, they will definitely kill many people by mistake.

Generally, only when the attacking party sneaks into the city gate, or the defending party sacrifices his life to break through, will they choose to do so at night.

Chasing is useless.   Yang Feng didn’t speak, but the second prince   scolded

: “Which general are you? Why don’t you even understand this, you idiot!” , His face suddenly became hot, and he shouted: “Go back and guard the camp.”   Yang Feng smiled, turned and left.   next day.   A burning smell filled the air.

The flames in Xiancheng disappeared, but thick black smoke was still floating.

Yang Feng sent cavalry to investigate through the opened north gate.

Confirming that there was no ambush, he ordered the cavalry to open the gates on all sides, and the army entered the city.

“Your Majesty, they burned the granaries in the city.” Yang Feng reported to Zhao Heng after returning from inspection.

At this time, Zhao Heng was sitting in the pavilion by the pond in Ma’s mansion. Opposite her was a charming woman who was Xiao Shishi.

This time the royal driver went on a personal expedition, he purposely made love to her.

At the beginning, he was worried that Yang Feng and the generals would be dissatisfied, so he hid it.

But he has won two games in a row, and now he has won Xiancheng again, he no longer has any scruples, and he is quite proud of who in the world can compete with me.

So what if you fight with a beauty?

He won!

“So, Xiancheng is an empty city now?” Zhao Heng asked lightly.

“It seems so.” Yang Feng said.

“What a cunning guy.” Zhao Heng snorted coldly, “Then let the peasants bring the food and grass quickly.”

Then, he asked, “Is there any news from Yanzhou?”

“Back to the emperor, it is said that King Yan is Yanshan is fighting with Beidi’s black iron king’s tent, this time Beidi seems to attack both sides at the same time.” Yang Feng frowned.

“Really? Humph, Beidi is really arrogant. Send someone to tell King Yan to keep his four northern counties. Here, I will defeat Beidi,” Zhao Heng said.

Now he is more and more convinced that King Yan can fight only because of the artillery.

“Your Majesty is right, who else can defeat Beidi people except you?” Xiao Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zhao Heng was even more delighted and laughed.

Yang Feng glanced at Xiao Shishi, and the disgust flashed in his eyes.

If it weren’t for these seductive women, the emperor would not have abandoned the government and indulged in pleasure.

Although the emperor has done good deeds during this period of time, the old habits of many years are hard to change.

“Your Majesty, even though there are some things you don’t like to hear, the old minister still wants to say that you should be cautious when going north this time.” Yang Feng cupped his hands.

When Zhao Heng heard this, his smile disappeared, and he just replied “Understood” casually, and waved Yang Feng to leave.

After Yang Feng left, Zhao Heng grabbed Xiao Shishi’s hand and held it to his lips, “Do you have anything with you?”   Xiao

Shishi’s eyes were like silk, “It’s natural.”

He poured a glass of wine, and as soon as his nails dipped in the glass, a ball of red powder dipped into the water.

Zhao Heng laughed a few times, his body has been hollowed out all year long, and he is gradually unable to do what he wants.

But Xiao Shishi’s unique medicine powder can revive him every time.

After finishing the wine, he picked up Xiao Shishi and walked to the inner house…to

rest for a day.

The next morning.

The Chinese army set off again and headed for Yongzhou.
