Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 548

[Chapter 548 Persevere]

sea breeze is blowing, and the waves are raging.

Rest for one night in Leting County.

The next day, Chang Wei ordered the troops of the 60,000 Prince’s Mansion stationed in Leting to board warships and merchant ships and head for Chrysanthemum Island.

On the sea, twelve warships were divided into two teams.

There are six warships in each team, protecting the merchant ships transporting the soldiers of the palace in the middle.

After more than a day, the fleet arrived at Chrysanthemum Island.

“General.”

Yang Zhen saluted Chang Wei at the pier on the east side of Chrysanthemum Island.

In order to avoid detection of this operation, they did not land at the pier on the west side of Juhua Island.

After all, Chrysanthemum Island can be faintly seen from Ningjindusi.

The pier on the east side is completely shaded.

At the same time, the fleet also deliberately chose the deep sea to hide their tracks when sailing.

With a smile on his face, Chang Wei saluted, “General Yang, the battle is imminent, and it’s time for your Ning Jin army to take revenge.”

In fact, he and Yang Zhen have no superior or subordinate relationship.

Strictly speaking, the Ning Jin Army and the Prince’s Army are two different armies, but they are both under King Yan’s command.

At present, the royal army is only assisting Ning Jinjun in training.

When Ning Jinjun can be alone, they will perform their own duties.

But this time in the battle of Ning Jin, Ning Jinjun wants to listen to him.

“The soldiers have been looking forward to this day for a long time. General Chang, even if you leave the most difficult battle to us this time, even if you die, we will vent the anger that has been suppressed for more than ten years.” Yang Zhen looked at Ning Jindu. There seemed to be a flame of vengeance burning in his eyes.

Chang Wei nodded. He knew Yang Zhen’s will to die in this battle.

If the general is like this, Ning Jinjun can be of great use.

Then, he looked past Yang Zhen and looked at the three generals of the Ning Jin Army behind him.

All three of them are captains selected by Yang Zhen.

At this moment, their expressions were as resolute as Yang Zhen’s.

Seeing this, Chang Wei felt more at ease.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chang Wei and Yang Zhen went to the Ning Jinjun Camp.

Next, he will wait for the news here, and at the same time discuss the next move carefully with Yang Zhen.

…

Yanguan.

After Chang Wei left, the fighting here not only did not ease down, but became more intense.

The failure of the night attack trick made the Beidi army decide to adopt the bloodiest and most effective way of warfare, replacing human life with human life.

Trying to consume the soldiers of Yanguan with their huge numbers.

“Anda!”

Yan Guan headed the city.

Just after repelling the charge of Beidi soldiers, another charge followed.

Beidi soldiers came to the city wall, picked up the ladder left by the soldiers in front and continued to attack.

At the same time, the archers mixed among the soldiers took the opportunity to shoot arrows at the top of the city.

Mo Yu watched the battlefield calmly.

The generals on the city wall were also very calm. This type of attack was repeated again and again, and they all figured it out.

“Medical officer, save people!”

In addition to the dense gunshots and gunfire on the city wall, the voice of the general calling for the medical officer sounded from time to time.

These soldiers were basically injured by bows and arrows.

Mo Yu followed the voice and looked over, only to see a soldier clenched his teeth, his arm was shot by an arrow.

Except for this soldier, the medical officer carried other wounded soldiers down from time to time.

A soldier was bleeding from an arrow in the neck as a stretcher passed him.

“With such frequent attacks, if there are only 30,000 people at Yanguan, it really won’t be able to sustain it.” Mo Yu felt a chill run down his spine while feeling sorry for the soldiers.

Beidi also attacked during the day and at night, and they were not allowed to rest for a while.

Fortunately, Chang Wei gave him 60,000 people, so he can arrange 20,000 people at the top of the city, and he can make the soldiers rotate every four hours, so that they won’t be too tired.

As for 30,000 people, the rotation is not enough, and the soldiers will not be killed by then, but will be exhausted by then.

Thinking of this, he continued to look at Yanguan.

Like the previous charge, this charge was quickly defeated in less than an hour under the fierce attack of artillery, mortars and rifled guns.

Left a corpse again.

When the general told him the battle report of more than 300 casualties in this defense.

The next charge began again.

This back-and-forth went on for half a month.

After Mo Yu estimated Beidi’s casualties in the past half month, he ordered the battle report to be sent to Juhua Island.

In his opinion, the time has come to take down Ningcheng.

At the same time, Beidi Camp.

Compared with Mo Yu’s calmness, Gurtu hasn’t eaten or slept well for ten days.

After deciding on a strategy to storm Yanguan, he ordered a storming of Yanguan.

At the beginning, in the face of huge casualties every day, he could still grit his teeth and persevere.

But as the time progressed, whenever he heard the number of casualties, his heart would twitch violently.

Now, he is even afraid that his generals will report the casualties to him.

In recent days, he even wondered if his decision was wrong.

But other than that, what else can he do?

Except for Gu Ertu, Horqin, Gu Le and Wu Yan were also depressed for several days, and became more and more reticent.

They fought during the day and at night, and only took a break at dawn to clean the battlefield and collect the corpses.

Every time they saw the corpses of soldiers under their command, they would feel a chill rise from the soles of their feet.

The casualties were too great, and the gains too little.

Yanguan not far away devoured the lives of their soldiers like a giant beast in the abyss.

And their offense cannot shake it in the slightest.

“Da Xing is here, the Khan’s order has arrived.” In the

tent, four people sat facing each other. When the atmosphere was solemn and dead, a cavalry entered the tent.

“How to say?” Guertu stood up.

For half a month, he had people send information back to Jinzhou every day.

Khan Mulehong really had no objection to his aggressive method.

“Khan said that Yanguan must be at the end of its strength now, but it is struggling to hold on, and the offensive cannot be slowed down due to huge casualties. I hope Daxing will not forget the word “dare to die.” Said the cavalry.

Guertu nodded slowly when he heard the words, and confidence rose again in his heart.

Obviously, Khan Mulehong really believed that Yanzhou was hit hard by the plague.

Yanguan is definitely short of soldiers and ammunition, and it won’t last long.

Half of the soldiers have already been sacrificed, they cannot give up halfway.

Otherwise, the previous soldiers would have died in vain.

Horqin, Gule, and Wuyan looked at Guertu and nodded at the same time.

They are like gamblers, the more they lose, the less they want to stop the gamble.

I always look forward to being able to come back at the last minute.

In the next two days, they launched frequent attacks again.

And Chang Wei’s order also arrived at Yanguan.

“Continue to hold on for six days. Ningcheng will be available within six days. At that time, you can attack northward and attack the general from north to south.” Mo Yu read Chang Wei’s military order, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After half a month, Ning Jin’s key battle is finally about to begin.

…

Chrysanthemum Island.

Both the Royal Army and the Ning Jin Army are preparing for battle.

Under the general’s order, the soldiers began to check the ammunition on their bodies, and then polished the rifled guns.

Finally, they filled their dry food bags to the brim.

Next, they will attack Ningcheng at night.
