Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 451

[Chapter 451 Ascension]

“Enemy attack!”

“Boom boom boom…” On the

city wall, the generals exclaimed, and at the same time the war drum was sounded.

Under the urging of the general, the soldiers who had been resting under the city wall climbed up the city wall one after another.

Yang Feng was also on the city wall, watching the Beidi soldiers rushing over, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

During this time, Beidi has not attacked the city with all its strength.

The fighting has been going on peacefully.

But now Beidi obviously wants to take Xiancheng in one fell swoop.

“What happened?” Yang Feng was a little puzzled.

But the urgent battle did not allow him to think about it, so he immediately dispatched troops and ordered the soldiers to climb to the top of the city to prepare for a deadly battle.

At the same time, the only eighty cannons on the city wall roared.

Black cannonballs flew back and forth on the city wall for a while.

At this moment, the second prince immediately ran back to Ma’s mansion after the initial panic.

Bring the news of Beidi’s siege to Zhao Heng.

“It’s over, it’s over.” Zhao Heng sat down dejectedly.

The Beidi people are not going to talk at this time, but want to capture him alive.

Thinking of this, his whole body trembled slightly with fear.

Since he was young, he has never suffered a little bit of hardship.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of life he would live if Beidi took himself back to the grassland.

“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, what should we do?” The second prince suddenly burst into tears.

Zhao Heng is the emperor, perhaps Bei Di can keep him.

He is just a prince.

Needless to say what happened to the third prince, he couldn’t imagine how Beidi would treat him?

Zhao Heng also wanted to cry, but he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now, we can only wait desperately for the moment when Xiancheng breaks down.

…

in the woods.

Zhongli suddenly pricked up his ears, the grove was only twenty miles away from Xiancheng.

The roar of the artillery can still be heard here.

“Suddenly the sound of the cannons became more intensive. I’m afraid Beidi people are attacking the city violently.” Zhong Li muttered to himself.

“Does Beidi Khan know that his plan to go south from the sea has failed?” He said again.

Then he looked at the red clouds in the sky in the west, and it was going to be dark soon.

After thinking about it, he didn’t change his plan, and decided to let the hot air balloon go up at dawn.

As far as he is concerned, as long as his location is exposed, the rescue plan has failed.

Don’t panic because of the urgency of the war.

Gradually, the sky dimmed.

At night, Beidi seemed to have stopped attacking the city.

But in the middle of the night, suddenly there was a loud noise louder than a cannon.

Everyone was awakened.

Thinking of something, Zhongli’s expression changed, and he said, “Oh no, Beidi blew up the city wall with gunpowder barrels, immediately heat up the hot air balloon.” In the middle of the

night, Beidi’s scouts would basically stop patrolling.

After all, basically nothing can be seen clearly.

He chose dawn, not because it was darker at this time.

It was at that time that they set off, after the emperor was rescued, it happened to be dawn.

In this way, they can let Beidi know that the emperor was rescued by them, and there is no point in besieging Xiancheng.

But it is different now that the city wall may be blown apart.

He didn’t know how long the soldiers in Xiancheng could defend under such circumstances.

After receiving his order, the nine hot air balloon soldiers immediately opened the opening of the balloon and ignited the fuel to heat the air inside.

The fire illuminated a small patch of woods.

Half an hour later, the balloon gradually inflated, but the hot air balloon did not fly away because the basket of the hot air balloon was tied to the stake.

Another half an hour passed, and the hot air balloon was completely filled.

At this time, the hot air balloon soldier climbed into the gondola.

“Be careful, your mission is related to the success or failure of His Highness’s plan.” Zhong Li said to the nine soldiers, his eyes were full of worry.

Using a hot air balloon to save the emperor this time is also an adventure in itself.

Although Wang Chong made a hot air balloon, the hot air balloon is not 100% safe.

The hot air balloon circling around Yancheng has been in danger several times.

Therefore, whether Zhao Heng can be rescued this time depends partly on God’s will.

“Don’t worry, general, we will do our best.” The nine soldiers cupped their hands.

Zhongli nodded and ordered the soldiers to untie the ropes on the stakes.

The restraint was lifted, and the hot air balloon slowly flew into the sky.

In the night, it was like three balls of fire flying out of the woods.

“The rest of the people immediately searched for a place to hide in the woods. If Beidi soldiers approached them, they must not let them escape.” Zhongli said solemnly.

Obtaining his orders, the soldiers took up arms and disappeared into the darkness.

…

Xiancheng.

The East City Gate was blown wide open.

Amidst the sound of shouting and killing, soldiers from Xiliang, Beidi, and Ma Jin rushed here frantically.

Yang Feng had already come down from the city wall, and was keeping an eye on it.

He concentrated all the heavy infantry in the imperial army here.

Since he had cannons and muskets, King Yan no longer concealed the heavy armor he made.

In the court’s trade with him, he provided five thousand sets of such armor to the imperial army.

The armor obtained by the imperial army may not be as good as that used by King Yan himself.

But in war, this kind of armor still performed well in addition to good protection.

Therefore, after the east city was blown open, he immediately mobilized all the remaining two thousand heavy infantry here.

At this moment, these soldiers are like a steel city wall blocking the enemies who try to break into the city.

But even so, his heart was still cold.

Although these heavy infantry were very good, it was clear that Xiliang also learned how to restrain this kind of armor during the battle with King Yan.

He kept seeing Xiliang soldiers with hammers rushing up, beating the heavy infantry violently.

Under the blow of the hammer, the heavy infantry kept falling.

Staring at this scene, his heart sank a little bit.

As a veteran of many battles, he actually knows very well that hammer weapons can restrain any armor.

In contrast, these heavy armors at least have good protection against other weapons.

“Drive the enemy back, the emperor will be in the city, if the emperor is captured, you and I will be sinners.” Yang Feng shouted.

Although very disappointed with Zhao Heng, the Yang family, like the Mo family, has been loyal to the emperor for generations.

Even if there is only one drop of blood left, he will fight for Zhao Heng.

“Kill!” Obtaining his order, the soldiers of the Imperial Army roared in anger.

He has no way out, and there is no other way but to fight to the death.

Beidi Camp.

Mu Lehong really didn’t sleep, he stood behind the artillery and stared at Xiancheng.

For him, the east city wall was breached, and the rest was much simpler.

In terms of military strength, they have a great advantage, not to mention that they are better at fighting than the Dasong army.

It took only one or two days to conquer Xiancheng.

Tiemuta stood by his father’s side, also staring at Xiancheng, at the flickering torches on the city wall.

Half an hour passed, and he was about to persuade his father to sleep in the tent.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the camp.

Many soldiers looked up into space and let out bursts of exclamation.

Tiemu Tower also raised his head, and saw three fireballs in the sky slowly flying towards Xiancheng.

“What is that!” Mule Hongzhen also saw it, and was shocked.
