Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 554

[Chapter 554]

Ning Cheng.

Qin Shan stood on the city wall and looked at the Beidi soldiers who were setting up camp.

In this battle, he will be the main general and Guan Tong will be the deputy general.

The other captains obeyed the orders of the two of them.

After discussing with Guan Tong, he decided to guard the north and east gates, and Guan Tong was responsible for guarding the south and west gates.

After the Beidi reinforcements from Jincheng arrived, the Beidi army that attacked Yanguan also arrived.

Through investigation, they found that the Beidi army that had withdrawn from Yanguan was estimated to be less than 200,000.

The Beidi army from the north is now close to 150,000,

but cavalry continue to come later.

He estimated that the Beidi army besieging Ningcheng would be close to 400,000.

“Are you afraid?” Qin Shan patted the shoulder of the general beside him.

This is a captain named Li Yi, who was promoted from school captain to captain because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jinzhou.

Li Yi shook his head, then nodded again, “I’m a little nervous, but I’m not afraid. Ever since I joined the royal family’s army, the general has been living with his head pinned to his waistband.” Hearing the words, the

other two captains all laughed, Vice casual state.

If they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they would not be able to take the position of captain today.

“That’s good. This battle is the key to the battle of Ning Jin. If you hold on, you will win this battle. If you can’t hold on, you will lose everything.” Qin Shan said with a relaxed expression, “If I die, you go back If you die, I, Qin Shan, will also take care of your wives, children and mother.” The

three of them nodded heavily, their eyes slightly red upon hearing this.

“Hahaha, this battle hasn’t been fought yet, why are you acting like a girl, maybe we can beat them to the ground.” Guan Tong laughed and walked over at this moment.

Looking outside the city, he continued: “The Beidi soldiers who came from the south are a bit disheveled, but the ones who came from the north are more energetic. Otherwise, let’s change.”

Qin Shan raised his brows immediately, “That’s a good idea.” , you are not in Nancheng, what are you doing here? If there is a mistake in Nancheng, I will not care about personal interests, and I will punish you anyway.”

Guan Tong shrank his neck and said seriously: “General Qin, the last general thinks that the mortar in Nancheng The artillery can be reduced and moved to the north of the city to deal with the Beidi army from Jincheng.”

“I have already given you twelve field artillery pieces and twenty-four mortar artillery pieces. If you have less, can you do it?” Qin Shan asked .

This time they carried a total of seventy-two light field guns and one hundred and eight mortars.

Neither the number of mortars and artillery nor the number of ammunition is large.

“It can be done.” Guan Tong was still grinning, “The last general has no lies. The Beidi army coming from the south seems to have lost their temper after being beaten by Yanguan’s brothers.” After

hesitating for a while, Qin Shan nodded.

The Beidi cavalry who came from the north were full of energy and murderous, just as Guan Tong said.

This is definitely the elite of Beidi.

It may even be the personal guard king’s account that guards Khan Court.

At the same time, Beidi camp.

As soon as Gu Ertu led the army to arrive, he camped outside the south city according to the order.

He went to the north of the city with Horqin, Gule, and Wuyan, and came to the camp of the Tiemu Pagoda.

After entering the tent, they looked at the man sitting on the opposite chair, and were immediately taken aback.

“Khan!”

Gurtu was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted Mule Hongzhen.

Horqin, Gule and Wuyan recognized the man and bent down at the same time.

Mu Lehong really raised his hand, motioning for the four to excuse themselves.

After Tiemu Pagoda arrived, he arrived in less than half a day.

This time, he will personally lead the Beidi army to take Ningcheng down.

Otherwise, the territory that Beidi has managed for more than ten years will fall into the hands of King Yan, and his prestige in Beidi will decline rapidly.

“Khan, we are guilty. We have not taken Yanguan so far, and we have suffered heavy losses.” Gu Ertu looked sad and angry.

“I can’t blame you. It’s not that you are not brave enough, but that King Yan is too cunning. Even I don’t understand how he gathered so many troops when the plague is rampant in Yanzhou.” Mu Lehong said slowly.

“Khan…” When Mu Lehong really said that, Gurtu and Horqin almost cried.

They really tried their best, but they didn’t achieve any results, and they were always worried about being criticized.

When Mu Lehong really said that, their grievances immediately dissipated.

Sighing softly, Mu Lehong really looked at the four of them, “Don’t mention the battle at Yanguan, the most important thing right now is Ningcheng, no matter what the price is, we must not let the King of Yan seize our Beidi territory. “The

failure to attack Yanguan is at most a failure to advance.

In the past many years, the attack on Yanguan failed many times.

It won’t have much effect on him.

But losing Ningcheng means the decline of Beidi.

Once they can’t get it back, Beidi’s confidence from top to bottom will be affected.

“Yes, Khan.” Gurtu and the others responded.

Mule Hongzhen nodded, and asked Gu Ertu the number of artillery carried.

In order to win Yanguan, he almost gave Gu Ertu all the artillery in Jincheng.

“Back to Khan, we only have eighty-two cannons left.” Gu Ertu carefully looked at Mule Hongzhen.

When attacking Yancheng, their artillery positions were constantly bombarded by Yanguan artillery, and many artillery were damaged.

“Eighty-two gates!” Mu Lehong’s pupils shrank slightly.

Although this number of artillery makes him very dissatisfied, there is no other way now.

There is enough food and grass in Ningcheng, so besieging Ningcheng will not work.

Moreover, Ye Chang had many dreams, so he was not sure what the king of Yan would do next.

Therefore, if Ningcheng only has 60,000 King Yan soldiers and horses to take it back, it will be even more troublesome.

Furthermore, Ningcheng is different from Yanguan, they can only attack one side.

They were besieged on all sides, and they only had an average of 15,000 people on each wall.

But they can deploy 100,000 heavy troops on each side.

With such a superior force, it is not impossible to fight a war.

Thinking of this, he said to Gurtu, “I’ll give you a day to rest.”

The 200,000 soldiers and horses he brought from Jincheng were also on their way without stopping.

Rest is also needed now.

In response, Gurtu and the others turned and left.

morning after a day.

The loud horn sounded in Beidi camp.

Beidi soldiers walked out of the camp slowly under the command of the general, and lined up in front of the gate.

Seeing this, Qin Shan immediately asked the generals to climb the city wall, preparing to resist Beidi’s attack.

“Boom boom boom…”

After a brief preparation between the two sides, Beidi’s sixty cannons gathered at the north gate opened fire first.

A shell hit the city wall heavily.

The blue bricks shattered into dust under the bombardment of the shells.

At the same time, the field artillery on the city gate returned fire.

The shells flew straight into the artillery fortifications built by Beidi.

“Anda!”

At the same time as the artillery roared, Beidi soldiers roared, rushing towards the four walls like a tide, and the momentum was very large.
