[Chapter 668]

.

When the coalition forces against Yan gathered in Lucheng.

After several days of preparation, Ma Han led 100,000 soldiers and horses and arrived at Qinguan.

Standing on the Qin Pass, looking in the direction of Qinzhou, Ma Han looked excited.

Since Qinzhou and Yongzhou fell into the hands of Beidi, his heart has not been at peace for a day.

Although he is now under the command of King Yan, Qinzhou and Yongzhou were lost by his Ma family after all.

Furthermore, the Ma family originated in Qinzhou, and in his heart, Qinzhou will always be his hometown.

More importantly, after the Northern Expedition, Beidi still ordered Ma Jin to guard Qinzhou. His father’s death had something to do with Ma Ji and Ma Jin, and he must avenge this revenge.

Before, he was incapable of taking back Qinzhou and Yongzhou, but now it is different.

At present, his 100,000 soldiers and horses are equipped with the same rifled guns and artillery as the royal army.

King Yan also sent over the most advanced yellow gunpowder and wooden-handled grenades.

At the same time, the generals from Yanzhou have been training the Ma family soldiers during this period.

Although according to the general’s statement, the Ma family’s soldiers are still slightly inferior to the royal family’s army.

But he believed that in the battle to recapture Qinzhou and Yongzhou, the soldiers of the Ma family would definitely fight the enemy bravely without fear of death.

Because many of these soldiers are from Qinzhou and Yongzhou, which is also their hometown.

He kept holding a mouthful of anger in his chest.

“My lord, it’s time to go.” At some point, Dian Zhang came to Ma Han.

In this battle, Ma Han served as the chief general and he served as the deputy general.

Nodding his head, Mahan went down the city wall.

At this time, the city gate opened.

He rode to the outside of the city gate and pointed forward.

The soldiers of the Ma family lined up in a neat line and slowly came out from the city gate.

King Yan’s order to him was to take Qinzhou and Yongzhou as soon as possible, and capture Xiaoguan before Beidi could react, and completely cut off the connection between Beidi and Nanliang.

Wanting to recapture Qinzhou and Yongzhou, Nanliang had no choice but to withdraw his troops and horses and come back to rescue them.

If this is the case, the so-called Allied Forces against Yan will break up, leaving only the Xie family and the Han family to fight against the royal family’s troops.

If Nanliang and Beidi grit their teeth and refuse to come back to rescue them, they will take the next step.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of Nanliang troops, they went straight to attack Wuguan and attack Xiangcheng.

Nanliang was in danger, so he wanted to see if the Nanliang army participating in the alliance could sit still.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nanliang established by Ma Jin and Dou Wei are both enemies of his Ma family.

Now, at last, he was able to swing his sword of vengeance on both.

“Taking Rangcheng in two days, taking Xiancheng in four days, and taking Xiaoguan in ten days.” Ma Han said in his heart.

Then he shouted: “Run forward in small steps immediately!”

Just like the army of the royal family, in order to move forward lightly, the soldiers of the Ma family took off their armor and only wore simple thin clothes, carrying ammunition and fried noodle bags on their backs.

During this period of time, the soldiers of the Ma family also practiced cross-country for five kilometers every day, and the endurance of the soldiers has been greatly improved.

Under his order, the Ma family soldiers started to run in small steps, all of them looked very relaxed.

All of a sudden, dust rose from the dirt road.

As soon as the Ma family soldiers left the city, they were immediately scouted by Ma Jin’s cavalry.

The cavalry returned and immediately brought the news to the generals guarding the city.

“Close the city gates immediately!” the guard of the soil city ordered, and asked the soldiers to block all the city gates on all sides with boulders and sandbags.

At the same time, he sent cavalry to Xiancheng for help.

At present, besides the 200,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Ma Jin after the Northern Expedition, there are also 80,000 Beidi cavalry stationed in Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

Since Rangcheng faced Qinguan directly, Ma Jin stationed 100,000 soldiers and horses here.

The remaining soldiers and horses were mainly hoarded in Xiancheng.

After all, the only thing they need to guard against is Mahan’s soldiers.

After a day’s trek, the Ma family soldiers and horses arrived outside Xiangcheng.

In the last Northern Expedition, facing Xiangcheng, his Ma family troops never conquered it.

This made him feel very ashamed.

This time, when he came to the soil city again, he was full of boundless confidence.

Because the soldiers and horses of his Ma family are no longer the soldiers and horses of the Ma family at that time.

Under the rigorous training of the generals of the royal family.

The Ma family’s army has long since transformed into a pack of wolves from Mianyang.

“Siege the city!” Surrounding the city walls on three sides, leaving only one side to set up an ambush, Ma Han gave the order.

Zhang Zhang led the way.

At this time, he ordered the soldiers to approach the city wall in a skirmish line, and shoot Ma Jin’s soldiers on the city wall within range, especially Ma Jin’s artillery.

Thousands of soldiers dispersed at the order of the decree and headed for the city wall.

“Boom boom boom…” Seeing the Ma family soldiers approaching, the artillery on the city wall of the city opened fire.

The soldiers of the Ma family did not feel afraid. As they advanced, they looked for obstacles to avoid the attack of the artillery on the city wall.

Since each soldier was far apart, the fifty artillery pieces on the front wall did not cause many casualties to the skirmishers.

On the contrary, under the artillery fire, the skirmishers raised their rifles and aimed at the busy artillery on the city wall.

“Bang bang bang…” The gunshots in the hands of the stragglers sounded.

Immediately, the loaded artillery fell down, and the firing speed of the city wall artillery slowed down significantly.

This encouraged the skirmishers, who continued to keep an eye on the walls, striking whenever the artillery appeared.

At the same time, some skirmishers with grenades hanging from their waists kept approaching the city wall along an S-shaped route.

Within fifty meters, they threw the grenade on it.
