Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 609

[Chapter 609 Attack!]

“Your Majesty, you really want to go with me, and I accept this matter.” Xie Duan’s eyes flickered.

He originally intended to unite with Qi to resist King Yan.

Unexpectedly, before he made a move, Qi Guo came to the door by himself.

Moreover, he was given a big gift that he could only dream of.

How could he refuse such a great opportunity?

Qi Guo envoy nodded and smiled, which was within his expectation.

No family can resist the temptation of the flintlock.

What’s more, Xie’s family and King Yan have a dispute over imperial lineage.

“In that case, please Your Majesty to sign this contract.” The envoy of the State of Qi took a document from the official beside him and handed it to Xie Duan.

Xie Duan took it and read the document carefully.

The content of the contract is very simple, it is to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance against King Yan.

If one of the contracting parties is attacked by King Yan, the other contracting parties must provide necessary resources such as soldiers and food.

If the majority of the contracting parties agree to attack King Yan, other contracting parties must also send troops to support it.

“Go get the jade seal.” Xie Duan said to the eunuch beside him.

Zhao Gang is just a puppet of the Xie family, and the power of the court is in his hands at the moment, and his approval of this contract is enough.

The envoy of Qi State nodded in satisfaction. He was the first to arrive at the destination of the four envoys, and the first contract was successfully concluded.

This is a lucky head.

In fact, he also knows that there is no essential conflict between the powerful clans, and it is only necessary for Qi Guo, the matchmaker, to complete the alignment at the moment.

at the same time.

The other three envoys are on their way to Wu, Nanliang and Nanping in the south.

Three days later, the envoy of Qi State who was going to Wu State arrived in Lincheng.

Just like the envoys of Qi State in Jinling, after seeing Liang Kai, they first offered flintlock guns and demonstrated them in front of Liang Kai.

This new type of firearm, which is different from the matchlock gun, immediately caused a shock in Wu Guochaotang.

Although Liang Kai was happy to see the people of Qi and Dongying fighting Yan Wang to the death, the temptation of the flintlock was obviously hard to refuse.

This made him realize the gap between Wu Guohugun and Qi Guo.

If this gap cannot be made up, even if King Yan decides the outcome with Qi, Wu’s clumsy muskets will not be able to win Qi’s army with flintlocks, let alone profit from it.

Thinking of this, he signed the contract without hesitation.

“Go back and tell your Majesty that Wu and Qi have worked together to deal with King Yan before, and hope that the two countries will continue to repair and deal with the threat from the north.” Liang Kai said after stamping his own seal on the contract.

Even though he said so, he secretly thought that he would only need to work without exerting himself.

…

Nanliang.

Only two days after the state of Wu, the envoys of the state of Qi arrived in Xiangcheng.

Dou Wei and Dou Mu were overjoyed to learn the purpose and promise of the envoy from Qi State.

After signing the contract and sending the envoy of Qi State away, Dou Mu said: “Father is really wise. He concluded that sooner or later other powerful clans will join forces with our Dou family to attack Yan again. Now it is as expected.”

Dou Wei showed a proud look. This time King Yan attacked Hebei The three cities not only reunited the powerful clans, but also allowed the powerful clans to get flintlock guns, and their strength increased greatly.

Before that, any of them was at a disadvantage against Yan Wangju.

Now, the clans are united, and Nanliang has Beidi to help, and Qi has Dongying to cooperate.

The combined strength of them seems to have greatly surpassed King Yan.

King Yan wants to defeat each of them and unify them all, but it will be as difficult as reaching the sky.

In this way, the countries will be safe.

From now on, even if he can’t unify Nanliang, but

…

outside Pingyuan City.

While the Qi State united with other powerful clans, half of the aerial fortresses here have been built.

During this time, the stragglers were not idle, and kept attacking the Qi soldiers on the city wall.

Other than that, the royal soldiers in the camp were only training as usual every day, and did not take any other actions.

Facing the ever-increasing strange buildings, Han Qi in the city became more and more anxious, but he did not dare to lead troops out of the city to fight.

He knew very well that it was tantamount to courting death.

Another ten days passed.

The eight aerial turrets were finally built and put into use.

On this day, Chang Wei ordered the artillery to pull the field artillery up to the air fort and aimed at the north wall of Pingyuan City.

These aerial turrets are higher than the walls of Pingyuan City.

Today, the artillerymen have changed from looking up to Pingyuan City to looking down on Pingyuan City.

Wait until all the field guns are on the fort.

The war has begun.

“Soldiers, we have enough ammunition this time, don’t be afraid of wasting it, just hit me hard.” On an aerial fort, Chang Wei pointed at Pingyuan City and shouted loudly.

During this time, the King of Yan dispatched a lot of ammunition from Yancheng.

According to him, he was afraid that the royal army’s lack of firepower would cause unnecessary casualties to the soldiers.

Therefore, he ordered a special order to carry out a saturated bombardment of Pingyuan City, making the enemy cry.

The artillerymen all grinned when they heard this.

For them, having enough cannonballs is like eating enough, and the two words are “happy”.

So they answered loudly: “Yes, General!”

Chang Wei nodded, and conveyed the order to the other seven forts.

Of course, this order also applies to artillerymen in charge of mortars, musketeers and balloon soldiers.

Everything was ready, and Chang Wei gave the order to attack.

“Boom boom boom…”

Almost at the same time, the cannons rang out from the eight air forts at the same time.

One after another, the shells flew over a distance of 800 meters and hit the head of the plain city.

At this moment, standing on the fort, the artillery general can clearly see the position of Qi’s artillery on the city wall of Pingyuan City through the binoculars.

They stared at each other’s artillery to suppress it.

Prevent them from causing a large number of casualties to the charging royal soldiers.

When the artillery sounded, the heavy infantry was in front, and the musketeers were behind, slowly walking towards Pingyuan City.

Mortar artillery followed behind the siege soldiers.

When they were 400 meters away from Pingyuan City, they stopped and aimed their mortars at the city wall of Pingyuan City.

Lime bombs and shotguns crossed the curves of the roads in the air, and exploded at the head of the plain city, blooming flowers of flames.

“Damn it, it turned out that that ghost thing was used to house the artillery, how did King Yan’s generals know so many strange things!” On

the steps leading to the city wall in Pingyuan City, Han Qi jumped angrily.

Now, he dared not climb the city wall at all.

Cannonballs came whistling one after another, hitting the city wall directly, and the soldiers touched by the shells were either killed or injured.

“Marshal, the soldiers of Yanzhou are attacking the city.” At this moment, a Qi general came to Han Qi’s side and said anxiously.

“Quickly, let the artillerymen push the cannons to the front, replace them all with grape shells, and beat them hard.” Han Qi shouted.

Then he asked, “Where did General Shi Cun go?”

“General Shi Cun has gone to the city. He said that he will arrange streets and alleys to fight street battles with Yanzhou soldiers.” The general replied.

When Han Qi heard this, his face immediately turned down.

The layout of the city has long been done, so why should he go again.

This Shicun Dahe clearly saw that the situation was not right, and he was unwilling to go to the city to supervise the battle.

The Dongying people are really unreliable.
