Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 420
[Chapter 420 Northwest Horn]
Anseong Port.
Ulanba looked at the more than 300 warships moored at the port with a sneer on his lips.
Father Khan Mu Lehong really sent the news of going south from the northwest, so he immediately asked the Beidi soldiers stationed in Ancheng to prepare and prepare to board the ship to Liaojun, detour to the south of Yanguan, and take Yanguan from the north and the south.
Of course, it would be best if the Black Tiewei and the Yuan family could successfully take down the south gate of Yanguan from within.
It’s just that the failure of the Yuan family last time also made them pay attention to Bei Di.
The Yuan family’s role in this battle is just icing on the cake, not the key.
The 300,000 Beidi army attacked from the north to the south and the artillery they carried this time are their real capital.
“King Yan, you are destined to be defeated in the northwest, and you will die in my hands and become my future Khan.” In the
cold wind, a silver wolf’s head on the battleship fluttered in the wind.
This is his king’s tent, the banner of the snow wolf king’s tent.
“My lord, these three hundred warships are enough to transport one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. After sending the Beidi army to Liao County, these warships will come back and send my Koryo warriors to Liao County. Together with the Beidi army, they will take Yanguan. .” The Korean generals beside Ulan Ba looked respectful.
In order to transport as many people as possible, Koryo basically built building ships this time.
The ship has three floors and can carry up to five hundred soldiers.
Three hundred ships are enough to transport one hundred thousand people.
Ulanba nodded, looking at the tall ship docked on the pier.
Goryeo used to be a vassal state of Daesong, and they learned from Daesong, so naturally this building boat also learned from Daesong.
But now, it has become Beidi’s sharp weapon to attack Dasong.
“Go south by boat in three days.” Ulan Ba set the time for going south.
Hearing the words, the generals around him all agreed.
At this moment, thirty miles away from Ancheng Port, a sailing warship is watching there.
On the tall watchtower of the battleship, a soldier observed the movement of the port with a telescope.
On the deck, Zhou Yi and Gong Ying, the captain of the battleship Yanjun, looked up at the watchtower from time to time.
Not long after, the navy soldier slid down the mast and told the two of the movements he had observed.
“Are they already loading the baggage?”. Zhou Yi frowned upon hearing this.
“Yes, and there are artillery being transported to the upper ship.” The soldier continued.
Zhou Yi nodded, “Continue to observe.”
“Beidi’s trip to the south this time really cost a lot of money, including building ships and guns. It’s a pity that they are destined to become the prey of sharks in the sea in front of our warships.” Gong Ying sneered again and again, speaking very confidently.
His confidence didn’t come out of thin air.
These days, they tested the combat capabilities of these twelve sailing warships at sea.
First of all, compared with the building boat, at sea, the speed of the sailing warship is compared with the building boat, just like a six-year-old child is compared with an adult running.
Secondly, these twelve warships are not equipped with ordinary artillery, but special naval guns.
When building warships, the Bing Zhansi built naval guns according to King Yan’s request.
Compared with ordinary artillery, the length of naval guns is significantly longer than ordinary defense artillery and field artillery.
The increase in length increases the shooting distance of the artillery.
Moreover, these cannons are also bored by a hydraulic boring machine, and the range is even longer.
They have tested that these naval guns can fly shells as far as ten miles.
However, to exert its maximum power, it still needs to be within 2,500 meters.
For them, this distance is enough.
Zhou Yi was not as relaxed as Gong Ying.
This time, the King of Yan will place a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Although he knew that their warships were much better than Goryeo’s, he didn’t dare to be careless before winning the final victory.
After listening to Gong Ying talking for a while, he didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
Next, he will wait for the order from King Yan.
…
Yong City.
The 400,000 Northern Expeditionary Army has surrounded this place.
Outside the four city walls are endless white tents.
At this moment, the roar of artillery was like thunder.
One after another, the shells hit the gate of Yongcheng.
It’s just that the gates of Yongcheng were all filled with sandbags.
The city gate was smashed, but the army of the Northern Expedition was still unable to enter the city.
Zhao Heng sat in the camp tent to the south, a little bored.
Victory is certainly gratifying, but it has come all the way, and the victory is too easy, which makes the battle seem monotonous.
“Father, Dasong has such a sharp weapon as artillery, and the conquest of Beidi is just around the corner.” The second prince accompanied Zhao Heng, flattering the emperor.
He reminded himself of his existence in front of the emperor all the time.
The third prince will never be able to become the emperor.
Right now, only the deposed prince can compete with him in the court.
And now that I have joined the emperor’s personal conquest and won successive victories, this is the achievement that I can talk about after I go back.
He abolished the prince but supervised the country, how could he compare with himself.
Thinking of this, he felt that the throne was waving to him.
Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and finally showed deep interest.
A little Xiliang plus Ma Jin is really unbeatable.
The second prince’s words aroused extravagant expectations that he had never dared to imagine before.
If Beidi can be pacified, he, Zhao Heng, will be recorded in the annals of history and become an eternal sage.
And this was a temptation he couldn’t refuse.
“To take Yongcheng this time, we must attack Beidi.” Zhao Heng looked firm.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng suddenly walked over with a gloomy face.
“Your Majesty, we must immediately prepare for Beidi’s sudden attack.” Yang Feng said loudly.
The second prince sneered, “Old General Yang, you always say this every time, whether it’s annoying or not, this time the Northern Expedition went so smoothly, but you repeatedly obstructed it, what is your intention?”
Yang Feng didn’t even bother to pay attention to the second prince now, he said : “Your Majesty, the scouts sent out rarely come back. Even if they come back, they don’t find anything. There must be a problem. I’m afraid that Beidi has already stationed troops in the north of Yongzhou. This is a trap set by them.” The
second prince shook his head.
Shaking his head, Yang Feng looked hopeless, “The cavalry in Xiliang has always been superior to my cavalry, and it is not surprising that they were attacked by the cavalry in Xiliang.” The north is the Jin River, can Beidi people swim here?”
Zhao Heng couldn’t help laughing after hearing this, thinking it was very funny.
He was about to reprimand Yang Feng.
At this time, a scout horse suddenly came in a hurry.
Although it was winter, Tanma was sweating profusely at the moment.
“Your Majesty, a large number of Beidi cavalrymen have been found in the north. The number is so large that it is difficult to estimate!”
Tan Ma’s words made everyone sweat coldly in fright.
Zhao Heng trembled, “How is that possible? How could Beidi come from the north.”
Yang Feng looked anxious, and it was too late for the army to withdraw to the south.
How could the 400,000 troops outrun Beidi’s cavalry.
The head of Yongcheng City.
Gule looked to the north, and he heard the sound of horns faintly in the wind.
He is very familiar with the sound of the horn, it belongs to Beidi.
“The Beidi army has arrived, this time we can vent our anger.” Gu Le laughed.
Ma Jin and Wu Yan were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.
They also listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, they heard the dull sound of the horn.
Since the Dasong Northern Expedition army besieged here, several sieges have been launched.
Although they were all repulsed by them, they also suffered a lot of casualties.
If Beidi doesn’t come again and consumes it for a long time, I’m afraid they won’t be able to keep this city of Yong.
And now, Beidi’s army has finally arrived.
The grand plan they negotiated with Beidi can finally be implemented.
