Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 424

[Chapter 424]

“Boom boom boom…”

The roar of artillery on the battlefield covered up the pained groans of wounded soldiers and the roars of soldiers on both sides fighting.

Gunpowder smoke enveloped the battlefield like a layer of mist, making everything blurry.

The imperial army is in the south.

The disbanded soldiers of the tribe who were beaten by Beidi regrouped here.

The arquebus soldiers were regrouped and fired lead bullets at the Xiliang and Ma Jin soldiers rushing over.

Although Xiliang soldiers are equally fierce, they are far less fearful than Beidi soldiers in the eyes of powerful soldiers.

The psychological advantage makes them more able to withstand casualties without breaking apart.

“Damn it! This Yang Feng is simply too cunning.” Gu Le, Wu Yan, and Ma Jin stood at the top of the wall, all gnashing their teeth.

They don’t have artillery, so naturally they can’t cause heavy casualties to Dasong soldiers like Beidi.

And the iron kite is like paper in front of these soldiers’ muskets.

The iron kite charged several times but was repulsed by the muskets.

Iron kites are like this, and the armor of ordinary soldiers is even more fragile in front of the matchlock guns of Dasong soldiers.

They were already in sight of victory, but when these powerful troops arrived, they immediately fell into adversity.

Moreover, although there were many losses under Beidi’s hands, the soldiers and horses of the powerful clan seemed to remain at 130,000 to 40,000.

Outnumbered them, but the muskets made up for it.

“It’s strange, it’s really strange. The soldiers and horses of the powerful clan have always been timid and cowering in battle, so why are they acting desperately this time?” Ma Jin murmured.

As a powerful clan, he is naturally aware of the performance of the powerful clan’s soldiers and horses in previous wars.

He had no idea that Yang Feng would hold Dou Xiao and Han Jun hostage, and behead Wang Bi before he could control the soldiers and horses of the clan.

“Brothers, kill! Beidi’s army is right in front of us, they will soon defeat Dasong’s soldiers and horses, and victory will belong to us.” Wu Yan ordered to Xiliang soldiers.

Encouraged by Wu Yan’s words, the Xiliang soldiers’ offensive became more and more fierce, rushing towards the powerful soldiers and horses wave after wave.

The scorching sun spread from the top of the head to the horizon, and the sun covered the earth.

Looking at the setting sun in the west, Mu Lehong really narrowed his eyes, “The artillery is certainly powerful, but the victory of this battle depends on our cavalry.”

Tie Muta nodded.

In the afternoon’s confrontation, Beidi’s artillery and Dasong’s artillery were almost the same.

Both sides have losses for each other.

He ordered Beidi’s servants to charge several times, but they still failed under the bombardment of the Forbidden Army’s artillery.

Now, Yang Feng seems to have turned the 100,000 forbidden troops into an immovable fortress and dragged them here.

The most hateful thing is that Yongcheng is located on a plain among the mountains.

There is only one road from Yongcheng to Xiancheng.

And Yang Feng placed the army formation in front of the intersection of this road.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Feng might not be able to defeat Yang Feng within two or three days.

The next battle is the consumption of both sides.

Even so, judging from the current military strength, Yang Feng could not consume Beidi.

What’s more, a Beidi cavalry set off from Xiaoguan and cut off Dasong’s grain road.

They only need to fight while waiting, even if they are hungry, they will starve the Dasong army to death.

“Father Khan is right, the 100,000 iron cavalry entering Qinzhou from Xiaoguan will completely cut off the connection between Da Song’s Northern Expeditionary Army and Da Song.” Tie Muta clenched his fist.

Mule Hongzhen nodded, “Yang Feng will definitely lead the troops to retreat to Xiancheng tonight. We just can’t let them go. After eating, we will continue to attack them.”

“Yes, Father Khan.” Tiemu Ta respectfully responded Sound yes.

The night is getting darker.

Seeing that Beidi was no longer attacking, Yang Feng ordered the soldiers of the imperial army to withdraw to the north camp of Yongcheng.

The powerful soldiers and horses entered the three camps of East, West and South to rest and eat.

Fortunately, they built these four camps before Beidi’s army came.

Otherwise they will have to sleep in the open air.

“General, more than 80,000 people were killed or injured by the powerful soldiers and horses, and more than 20,000 people were killed or injured by the imperial army.” Ao Bing reported back to Yang Feng.

Hearing this, Yang Feng frowned.

There were 100,000 casualties, no matter whether they were injured or died, these people would naturally be unable to participate in the war anymore.

In this way, he only has 200,000 soldiers and horses.

“Beidi and Yongcheng still have at least 400,000 soldiers and horses, twice the gap. General Yang, if you persist until now, you can withdraw!” Dou Xiao said anxiously.   Han Yun echoed: “That’s right, if you don’t leave, you really won’t be able to leave. General Yang

, if you don’t listen to us this time, even if you die, we won’t cooperate with you anymore. Anyway, both sides are dead.”

Feng frowned.

One day was enough time for Zhao Heng to flee to Xiancheng.

There is really no need for him to stay here and fight to the death.

After all, Beidi had already cut off the way of retreat.

If he and the soldiers in his hands were dead, the 100,000 troops in Xiancheng would not be able to resist Beidi at all.

If Zhao Heng is captured by then, Da Song will be in chaos.

If he returns to Xiancheng and takes charge of the overall situation, he may be able to persist until the rescuers come.

After thinking about this joint, Yang Feng looked at Ao Bing, “General Ao, the future is in your hands.”

Ao Bing looked serious, he knew what Yang Feng meant.

His lieutenant general is afraid that he will stay behind.

“Old general, this time let the last general tell the people of Beidi that I still have strong men.” Ao Bing said loudly.

Both he and Yang Feng were staunch main fighters in the court.

Now that the army of the Northern Expedition is in danger and the emperor is in danger, he will naturally step forward.

Yang Feng patted him heavily on the shoulder and said nothing.

In his opinion, Bei Di must have expected that they might withdraw to Xiancheng tonight, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses are ready.

In this retreat, he could only lose his own tail like a gecko and escape with his life.

that night.

The moon and stars are rare.

In the middle of the night, the order to retreat spread throughout the four camps.

Under the leadership of the generals, the powerful soldiers and horses quietly withdrew from the camp.

Similarly, in order to prevent Xiliang from pursuing, they also left broken soldiers and horses outside the city gate.

And Ao Bing led 40,000 imperial troops to stay in Beiyingzhai.

really.

As soon as the army moved here, Beidi and the Xiliang soldiers in the city followed the trend.

The sound of killing suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

Yang Feng commanded the rest of the forbidden army and powerful clan soldiers and horses to go along the mountain road without returning to Xiancheng.

He didn’t dare to look back, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and stay and continue the fierce battle.

“Kill!”

Outside the Beiying village, a spear forest formed by spearmen prevented the Beidi cavalry from continuing to advance.

After hesitating for a moment, the Beidi cavalry retreated immediately.

Not long after, the artillery was pushed up by Beidi soldiers.

The roar immediately resounded through the sky.

Because the main force has already withdrawn under the leadership of Yang Feng.

Ao Bing only had thirty-six cannons in his hands, and facing the bombardment of more than two hundred cannons from Beidi, they were obviously in a weak position.

At the same time, under the bombardment of artillery, King Yan’s armor was also powerless.

Ao Bing could only watch helplessly as the soldiers of the Forbidden Army died tragically under Beidi artillery.

Gritting his teeth, he led the supervising team to stand behind the soldiers, intimidating them and delaying their collapse.

But he knew that no matter what he said, his fate and the fate of the remaining soldiers were already doomed.
