Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 426

[Chapter 426]

Yongcheng.

Mu Lehongzhen rode through the battlefield full of gunpowder.

Every time the horseshoe falls, there will be a slight “stain” sound.

At this time, the land north of Yongcheng had been stained red by the blood of soldiers from both sides.

The blood pooled in the low-lying places, forming shallow pools of blood.

“Father Khan, compared with the battle of Ningjindusi, the casualties of our soldiers in Beidi this time are greater.” Tie Muta’s eyes lingered on the battlefield.

The remaining soldiers of the Dasong army were killed and injured in their shelling, infantry fighting and final heavy cavalry charge last night.

Now the battlefield is littered with the corpses of soldiers in silver armor.

Although Beidi undoubtedly won.

But they killed and injured more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 50,000 infantry in this battle.

This did not include the casualties in Xiliang and Ma Jin’s army.

After counting, the Dasong Northern Expedition left about 140,000 dead and wounded soldiers.

In terms of the number of soldier casualties, they are not very different.

Unlike Ning Jindusi, they won almost one-sided victory. They only lost 80,000 horses in the entire war, and they defeated the 400,000 Dasong army.

“It is said that the imperial army on this expedition is equipped with armor and firearms made by the King of Yan, and they are also trained by the generals of the King of Yan.” Mu Lehong really looked at a dying, moaning imperial soldier.

“This time we are mainly because they caused a lot of casualties to us in Beidi.” Mule Hongzhen continued, and at the same time took the bow and arrow from the general around him, drew the bow and shot at the soldiers of the imperial army.

After a “whoosh”, the arrow hit the neck of the imperial soldier, and the imperial soldier’s head drooped.

“Father Khan’s arrow skills are still invincible in the world.” Tie Muta patted the horse at the right time, and then he said, “It is true, the generals said that the servants suffered a lot from the armor of the imperial army, but even so, we really The loss is only more than ten thousand cavalry, and what they lost is the elite soldiers of the imperial army.” The

servants are dead to him, and they are insignificant.

But Dasong’s forbidden army is different.

This battle made them see clearly that only the Imperial Army can fight them head-on.

The soldiers and horses of these powerful clans lack morale, and their equipment is not as good as that of the imperial army.

I’m afraid that the soldiers and horses sent by the Dasong clan are not their elite at all.

The soldiers of the power clan are only worthy of fighting with the newly recruited Xiliang soldiers and Ma Jin soldiers.

“Well, although Yang Feng escaped, the imperial army in his hands is probably only 20,000 to 30,000, and there are not many soldiers and horses left. Now that they have gone to Xiancheng, we can besiege the city with a large army.” Mu Lehong really said.

Now the food road for the Dasong army has been cut off.

For the soldiers and horses in Xiancheng, he only needs to cut off food and water.

He believed that within a month, the Dasong soldiers and horses in the city would have to come out by themselves to accept the surrender.

“Yes, Father Khan.” Tie Muta had a smug smile on his face.

In this battle in the northwest, they are sure to win.

After being complacent for a while, he suddenly remembered the battle in the east, “I don’t know if Ulan Ba has gone south now. If we can successfully take Yanzhou at the same time, Da Song will really be in my Beidi’s pocket.”

Mu Lehong really hoped To the east, the gaze seems to have traveled thousands of miles.

“Ulanba has always acted cautiously, and there should be no mistakes. Besides, there are Korean soldiers and horses to help out. How can King Yan’s troops stop the four kings and Korea.” The Northwest War is going well, and Mu Lehong is confident full.

Tie Muta nodded and followed his father to Yongcheng.

At this time, Gu Le, Wu Yan, and Ma Jin were already waiting for them at the gate of the city.

“Reorganize your troops immediately, and follow my Beidi army to march towards Xiancheng. The battle in the northwest is only for this battle.” Mu Le Hongzhen said, raising his hands and letting the three of them be excused.

“Yes, Khan.” The three of Gu Le were extremely respectful.

This battle made them realize that without Beidi, they would not be Dasong’s opponents, and they would have to perish.

Now they can only follow Beidi closely.

The order is issued.

General Beidi, General Xiliang and Ma Jin went back separately.

An hour later, the army marched towards Xiancheng mightily.

…

At the same time that Beidi’s army set off, Yang Feng was leading the remaining soldiers and horses to march towards Xiancheng in a hurry.

Although the self-cutting of an arm bought the Northern Expeditionary time to escape from the battlefield of Yongcheng.

But he knew the speed of the Beidi cavalry. If they didn’t march fast, they might be overtaken by Beidi before they reached Xiancheng.

It’s just that the war had just passed, and the soldiers had no time to rest.

During the rapid march, soldiers kept falling behind. When they arrived in Xiancheng, there were only 120,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses left.

“General Yang, you are finally here.”

Yang Feng led Dou Xiao and others to arrive, and Zhao Heng came out immediately.

After arriving in Xiancheng, he sent cavalry to investigate.

The Beidi cavalry who came out of Xiaoguan really controlled all the roads going south.

A large number of Beidi cavalry wandered in Qinzhou and attacked Dasong’s Tan Ma, who was unable to send the news to Wuguan.

When he heard the news, it was as if he had been hit with a hammer.

In such a situation, they can only defend Xiancheng.

Thinking that only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses came with him, and there were so many soldiers in Beidi, even if they defended to death, they would not be able to last for a few days, he couldn’t help but despair.

Now, Yang Feng withdrew from Yongzhou, how could he not like it.

Not to mention that Xiancheng has more troops and can last longer.

With this veteran around, he felt more at ease.

The second prince was also beside Zhao Heng, and he was also surprised.

Now he no longer dared to ridicule Yang Feng.

The next battle has to be counted on the veteran to fight.

“Your Majesty, hey…” Yang Feng got up, tilted his head and sighed.

He saw the joy of Zhao Heng and the second prince, but he couldn’t be happy at all.

Ao Bing, the beloved general, died almost all of his life. In the battle of Yongcheng, the army of the Northern Expedition suffered almost ordinary losses.

Even though they joined forces now, they can only stick to Xiancheng.

Seeing Yang Feng like this, Zhao Heng couldn’t help feeling guilty.

Along the way, he was indeed dazzled by the victory and ignored the veteran.   He said: “Old General Yang

, if it is my fault or not, you can get up immediately. All the soldiers and horses in Xiancheng are under the control of the old general. Whoever dares to disobey the general’s order will be killed!”

Send people to Wuguan for help, and His Highness King Yan?”

“Go, go, it’s just that the Beidi cavalry is rampant in Qinzhou, and it’s hard to predict whether they will get the news.” Zhao Heng’s face was depressed.

Yang Feng sighed slightly again, and then he immediately cheered up.

After all, he is a battle-tested veteran. For him, what is more important now is to strengthen Xiancheng’s defenses.

In this way, there is hope of waiting for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent generals to count the food and grass, repair the city, and at the same time transport the only artillery in the army to the city wall.

In the battle of Yongcheng, they lost more than half of their artillery, and some of them were discarded on the way of the rapid march.

Only seventy-three pieces of artillery were brought back.

The Forbidden Army who fled with Zhao Heng only carried fifty-two cannons.

There are a total of 130 artillery pieces in Xiancheng, which is not as good as Beidi.

After receiving Yang Feng’s order, the generals immediately performed their duties.

Even Dou Xiao and Han Yun dare not disobey.

This time they saw the veteran’s methods.

Now that they have the emperor’s orders, they dare not provoke Yang Feng.

A busy night.

In the early morning of the next day, the rising sun dispelled the night.

The soldiers guarding the top of Xiancheng saw dust flying on the road to Yongzhou.

Beidi’s army has arrived.
