Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 561

[Chapter 561 Full Battle]

“Hahaha, it’s just what I want, General Qin, I’ll leave the defense of Ningcheng to you, and the last general will lead the troops out of the city.” Guan Tong cupped his hands.

Qin Shan nodded.

The Beidi army in the south and west all greeted the reinforcements from the palace from Yanguan.

Therefore, the south and west walls do not need too many soldiers to defend.

Only a few thousand people are left to garrison each city wall, and the remaining soldiers can take the initiative to attack and cooperate with the reinforcements to defeat the Beidi army in the south.

As for the Beidi army in the north, he will keep an eye on their movements.

Once he decides to besiege the reinforcements like the Beidi army in the south, he will again send some soldiers out of the city to help.

After Guan Tong got down the city wall, he immediately summoned the generals and issued the task of going out of the city to fight.

In less than half an hour, 20,000 soldiers had assembled at the South City Gate.

Under the leadership of the general, they walked out in an orderly manner.

Outside the door, they skillfully formed a hollow phalanx.

In the military academy, King Yan often mentioned this military formation.

Remind them that if they encounter a large number of enemy cavalry in the field, they can use this formation to respond.

In terms of restraining cavalry, this phalanx is very effective.

Nowadays, soldiers are equipped with rifled guns, and this phalanx will be more agile against cavalry.

Even the chariot formation is nothing more than a variant of the hollow square formation.

It’s just that the car formation uses the car as a shield, so that soldiers can get better protection and reduce casualties during war.

And they can only use their flesh as a shield.

In a quarter of an hour, 20,000 soldiers quickly formed ten hollow square formations.

These ten hollow phalanxes are well arranged and divided into three rows.

There are four hollow squares in the first row, two hollow squares in the second row, and four hollow squares in the third row.

Due to the particularity of the hollow phalanx, soldiers can shoot the enemy in any direction.

Therefore, the first and third rows can change the front and rear rows according to the direction of the enemy’s attack.

There are enemies in front of the first row, and the first row is the main force of the attack.

The enemy attacks from behind, and the third row is the main attack force.

The two rows in the middle can be mobilized at any time according to the battlefield situation.

As soon as the 20,000 soldiers left the city, Beidi’s army in Nancheng noticed it.

Nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses were separated from Beidi’s army and came slowly towards them, including Beidi cavalry.

Guantong is located in the center of the hollow phalanx on the left side of the third row.

Looking at the Beidi soldiers who were rushing towards them, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His purpose is to contain part of the Beidi army.

Now the effect is achieved.

As for the 50,000 Beidi soldiers who came over, he didn’t pay much attention to them.

During this period of time, they defended the city wall to the advantage of the prince’s army’s firearms to consume Beidi’s troops as much as possible and reduce the casualties of their own soldiers.

It’s not that they are afraid of Beidi and dare not fight head-on.

In his opinion, even if he and Qin Shan’s 60,000 people fought against Beidi in the field, they would be able to wipe out more than half of its soldiers and horses.

Therefore, the 50,000 people sent by the Beidi army in the south are not in his eyes at all.

The hollow phalanx can easily defeat them.

Especially when defending the city, they found that the morale of the Beicheng army in the south was significantly lower than that of the Beidi army in the north.

Among them, some of the Beidi army in the south are from Xiliang.

But in his opinion, what was more important was that they had been beaten to the point of losing their courage in the battle of Yanguan.

When besieging Ningcheng, they didn’t get any advantage, and also suffered heavy losses.

While he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a huge roar from the artillery in the south, interspersed with the sound of rifled guns firing.

Obviously, the Yanguan reinforcements are at war with the Beidi army.

As Guan Tong thought.

At this moment, a circular car formation stopped five miles away from Ningcheng.

Beidi soldiers held their scimitars and kept roaring “Anda” as they rushed towards the car formation.

Facing the impact of the Beidi infantry, the artillery in the chariot immediately pulled the artillery to the gap between the chariots, replaced it with grape bullets, and bombarded the Beidi soldiers.

Grape bullets wrapped with more than 30 iron balls flew out of the muzzle, and the surrounding linen broke.

The iron ball turned into a rain of bullets and flew towards the Beidi soldiers who rushed over.

“Puff, puff!” There was a sound of flesh being penetrated.

Beidi soldiers rushing forward fell down one after another.

At the same time, the mortars kept throwing shotgun shells and lime bombs on the heads of Beidi soldiers.

Under the bombardment of artillery and mortars, Beidi soldiers suffered casualties.

The lime bombs even fascinated the Beidi soldiers’ eyes, causing confusion in the charging team.

The Beidi soldiers who were like headless chickens kept bumping into other charging soldiers.

And when these soldiers rushed out within 200 meters, the musketeers pulled the trigger.

The dense bullets streaked through the air like locusts.

A large number of Beidi soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

“Hey! If you continue to fight like this, you will die.” In the

Beidi army’s formation, Gu Le stomped heavily.

Two Xiliang king tents, 200,000 soldiers and horses.

After attacking Yanguan first, and then Ningcheng, after two rounds, the two king’s tents combined have less than 60,000 troops.

Although Guertu and Horqin’s soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, they could only retain half of their troops.

Wu Yan’s eyes are red, all of the king’s tents of Xiliang are men from Xiliang, not even any wild species mixed with Dasong people.

Now, they are slaughtered like animals.

He actually felt it.

Fighting with King Yan’s soldiers and horses is not called fighting, it’s death.

How can Xiliang soldiers with swords fight against Yan Wang soldiers with muskets and cannons?

The most important thing is that these soldiers of King Yan are so fucking strong and powerful.

Even in hand-to-hand combat, their soldiers can’t take any advantage.

Moreover, during the five-six-day siege, the only remaining artillery was completely destroyed in the confrontation with King Yan’s artillery.

They didn’t have any firearms, so they could only fight with their lives.

If there are only a few soldiers and horses in Ningcheng, that’s all.

There are so many of them, they can exchange their lives for it.

But now another 50,000 King Yan soldiers and horses have come, and they seem to be stronger in terms of firearms than those in the city. How are they going to fight!

“We will fight even if we die. We are the king of death. We can die, but we can’t retreat. Khan has given us this reinforcement. We must block it!” Guertu shouted angrily.

He is worse than Gu Le now.

Only King Heitie had seen the chariot formation of King Yan’s soldiers and horses.

After the black iron king’s tent was defeated, he even mocked that the black iron king’s tent was useless.

But after seeing the car formation with his own eyes, he found it so tricky.

The cavalry sent out to harass the chariots had nothing to do with them.

Two hundred meters away, they couldn’t threaten the chariot at all.

After entering two hundred meters, they will be shot by the muskets of King Yan soldiers.

Even if they barely rushed to the front of the chariot formation, the horses would be blocked by the chariots.

The cavalry can’t hurt the soldiers in the car formation at all.

He was upset when he suddenly saw the soldiers who were charging break up.

A large number of soldiers fled back, including not only Xiliang soldiers, but also Beidi soldiers.

Seeing this, Guertu’s heart skipped a beat.
