Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 553
[Chapter 553]
“Beidi’s troops have moved.” In the
sky above Jincheng, a hot air balloon floated very high.
On the hot air balloon, a soldier stared at the ground with a telescope.
After sending the soldiers to Lianxian Beach, a warship carried a hot air balloon to the north to investigate Jincheng.
Just now, they suddenly noticed that there seemed to be countless ants moving around Jincheng.
The ants in the front went straight to Ning Cheng.
Of course, they knew that this was not an ant, but a cavalry soldier from Beidi.
Discovering the movement of Jincheng Beidi’s army, they immediately floated to the sea, preparing to land on the battleship.
In just half a day, Chang Wei got the news.
At this moment, he is no longer in Lianxian waters.
After Ning Cheng was captured, he ordered the fleet to go to Chrysanthemum Island.
Next, he will take command on Chrysanthemum Island.
“General Chang, the Beidi people were completely led away by us.” Yang Zhen was slightly excited.
At the moment, the battle is proceeding in the direction they expected.
“More than ten years ago, Mu Le Hongzhen took Ningjindusi himself. If Ningjindusi was lost in his hands, his Khan’s face will be gone.” Chang Wei said slowly.
It’s not that he has clever calculations, but that he knows the meaning of Ning Jindusi to Beidi.
Once the Ningjin Dusi is lost, it means that Beidi’s more than ten years of achievements will be lost.
“So, what follows will be a bloody battle.” Yang Zhen looked in the direction of Ning Cheng.
For both sides of the war, they will not spit out the gains achieved.
Then we can only fight to the death.
Chang Wei nodded and looked at Yang Zhen, “In the past, these 60,000 people might not have been able to hold on, but now, I am very confident in rifled guns.”
If only matchlocks and flintlocks could be compared with bows and arrows.
Then the rifled guns simply left them more than one block away.
In front of Beidi people, for the first time, he achieved that the enemy could not hit them, but they could hit the enemy.
This gap is similar to the fact that the Dasong infantry faced the Beidi cavalry before and could only be killed by them flying a kite.
Of course, the premise is that they can rely on city defense.
If it is a field battle, unless they are accompanied by a chariot formation, facing a large number of Beidi cavalry, even if they can win, they will suffer heavy casualties.
Suddenly remembered something, he turned to Yang Zhen, “When Jincheng’s defense is empty, I will let the fleet send you Ning Jinjun ashore, and Jincheng will be handed over to you.”
As long as they take Ningcheng and Jincheng, they will It is equivalent to controlling Ning Jin Dusi.
After all, Ning Jindu Division belongs to the long and narrow terrain.
Holding these two cities is like holding the throat of Ning Jindusi.
It is impossible for Beidi people to bypass these two cities and attack Yanguan directly.
Otherwise, the armies of the two cities could attack at any time and cut off their supply lines.
“Ning Jinjun will not disappoint His Highness.” Yang Zhen looked determined.
After King Yan knew his identity, he never scolded him for losing Ning Jin Dusi more than ten years ago.
After forming the Ning Jin Army, he overcame all opinions and handed over the Ning Jin Army to his command.
Even the most advanced firearms in Yanzhou were given to Ning Jinjun, and everything was no different from that of the royal army.
If he didn’t fight a good fight once, how could he have the face to meet King Yan.
“So, I hope you will come back victorious.” Chang Wei gave Yang Zhen an encouraging look.
King Yan once said that the mourning army must win, and there is no doubt that Ning Jinjun is the mourning army.
From top to bottom, whether it is Yang Zhen or the soldiers, they have all had painful experiences at the hands of Beidi people.
Facing Beidi directly, the hatred hidden in their hearts will make them burst into stronger fighting power.
After discussing some specific details, Yang Zhen left.
Waited for a day.
The hot air balloon responsible for reconnaissance sent back information again.
The Beidi soldiers and horses in Jincheng are almost gone, and only a small number of soldiers guard the city.
This news did not move Chang Wei, he decided to keep Ning Jinjun and wait for the most critical moment.
And he has another layer of worries.
He used this trick to seize Ningcheng at night, and he was afraid that Beidi would secretly prevent him from attacking Jincheng again.
If Beidi sets up an ambush, his strategy will be affected.
Therefore, he decided to let Mo Yu and Ning Cheng consume the Beidi army for a while.
Wait for him to relax his vigilance before letting Yang Zhen and the others land.
…
Ning Cheng.
While Chang Wei made up his mind, Tie Muta led the front cavalry to arrive outside Ning City first.
While ordering the soldiers to set up camp and wait for the follow-up troops, he observed Ningcheng for a while.
Four of the city gates, the south gate and the east gate are all damaged.
However, King Yan’s soldiers and horses in the city did not repair the gate, but piled a large number of stones and sandbags inside the gate to seal the entire gate.
Obviously, the situation behind the other two intact city gates is probably the same.
Relying on the large amount of food and grass in Ningcheng, the use of this King Yan soldier and horse will exhaust them to the end.
“My lord, the soldiers and horses of Gurtu’s troops are still thirty miles away from Ningcheng.” Tie Muta was thinking, and a cavalry dismounted and said.
Tie Muta nodded, and waved for the cavalry to go back.
This time, Jincheng’s 200,000 Beidi cavalry all assembled towards Ningcheng.
Including the soldiers and horses of Guertu’s department, they must have more than 350,000 soldiers and horses, and they still have an advantage over Yanzhou soldiers and horses.
Furthermore, the city wall of Ningcheng is not as tall as the city wall of Yanguan, and there is no strange city wall outside Yanguan.
Most importantly, this army carries limited artillery.
Therefore, with such a disparity in troop strength, the chances of them taking back Ningcheng are very high.
Thinking of this, he finally had a smile on his face.
Next, he just needs to wait until his father Khan arrives with the rest of the troops, and they can attack Ningcheng.
…
Yanguan.
Beidi soldiers and horses withdrew from Yanguan for more than a day.
But Mo Yu hadn’t taken any action yet.
He just sent scouts to keep investigating Beidi’s movements.
“General, are we just watching Ningcheng being besieged like this? Ningcheng is not as high and thick as Yanguan City.” Mo Yu was not in a hurry, but his generals were.
“Don’t be in a hurry, you will only startle the snake if you are in a hurry.” Mo Yu was a little helpless.
If he led the troops over at this time, Beidi’s attention would definitely turn to him.
At that time, Beidi will concentrate on solving them first, and then turn around and return to Ningcheng.
In this case, it is better to let Qin Shan stick to it for a few days.
He traveled day and night, led the troops to the vicinity of Ningcheng, and attacked Beidi’s army by surprise.
Seeing that the generals still wanted to talk, he said coldly: “How is the preparation of the chariot camp?”
“The chariots have been checked and ready to go at any time.” A general said.
“Has the food and supplies been loaded?” Mo Yu asked again.
In this attack, they may fall into the enemy’s siege, so use the tank to bring more things.
“Okay, everyone has brought fried noodles, plus the food in the chariot, even if they are besieged for twenty days, there will be no problem.” Another general said.
Mo Yu nodded, Chang Wei left Che Ying at Yanguan.
For this day.
Next, he only needs to wait for the right opportunity, and then he will set off under the protection of the chariot and become the moving fortress of Ning Jindusi.
