Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 679

[Chapter 679 Confrontation]

“Your Majesty, King Yan’s troops are coming to Xiangyang City.”

Wang Xie said to Han Zheng in the imperial study room.

Just as they guessed, after the Nanliang soldiers and horses withdrew, King Yan immediately summoned the soldiers and horses, and immediately took action.

In the past two days, he continued to send cavalry to investigate, and discovered King Yan’s intentions.

However, this was within his expectation. After all, if it were him, he would also choose to attack Yangcheng.

In fact, they also concentrated a large number of soldiers and horses in Yangcheng, preparing to fight against the soldiers and horses of King Yan.

There are also Xie Duan, his younger brother Xie An and Wang Zi’an in the imperial study.

Xie An said: “I dispatched another two hundred cannons to Yangcheng, and now Yangcheng has nearly six hundred cannons.”

Han Zheng nodded, and today he took off his dragon robe.

Han Qi was captured by King Yan, and Han Bi died in battle at Wubao on the South Bank.

At the moment, there is no one available in his Han family.

After deliberation, he decided to let Wang Xie be in charge of commanding the troops.

Xie Anlai was still in charge of Xie’s soldiers and horses.

“This battle is only to drag King Yan under Yangcheng, the longer the better.” Han Zheng said.

Wang Xie and Xie An looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

When the two left, Xie Duan said to Han Zheng: “Brother Han, Brother Wang, don’t hesitate any longer, take everything you can take away, don’t leave it behind, otherwise once Yangcheng is broken, everything will belong to King Yan Yes .” After a

pause, he continued: “Don’t worry, I, Xie Duan, will not take advantage of the fire, after all, I will still count on the two of you to keep warm in the future.”

Han Zheng shook his head, and Wang Zi’an also showed a helpless smile.

After making a plan to delay King Yan’s going south, he decided to transfer the treasury of Qi State to the south, leaving nothing to King Yan.

Afterwards, he will go south with Xie Duan, head to Pengcheng first, and continue to resist King Yan.

If the King of Yan pursued them, they would fight in Pengcheng and then go south until they crossed Jiujiang and arrived in Jinling.

Xie Duan called Brother Han, not disrespecting him.

Instead, he was going to step down from the title of Emperor of Qi and once again become Han Zheng, the patriarch of the Han family, one of the eight powerful families.

After all, once Qizhou was lost, he would no longer have the face to call himself emperor.

And it is also not conducive to the plan that Dongying is operating.

“Brother Xie’s words are slapping me in the face. I, Han Zheng, am not like Dou Wei. I am full of evil ideas. Even if the wealth from the treasury is given to Brother Xie, so what?” Han Zheng said.

Hearing this, Xie Duan burst out laughing, and he said, “Yes, I hope you and I will be honest with each other, and don’t do dirty things like that old fox Dou Wei.” After

finishing speaking, Xie Duan stretched out his hand, and Han Zheng He and Wang Zi’an looked at each other and put their hands on Xie Duan’s. This is mutual trust.

…

Liaocheng.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei set off from Dongping City and arrived here after two days of trekking.

Take a short rest for half a day.

Next, they headed south, and after another day and a half of trekking, they arrived at the foot of Yangcheng City.

Ordering the army to set up camp about 800 meters outside Yangcheng, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei found a raised high slope and looked towards the head of Yangcheng.

Noticing the densely packed artillery on the walls of Yangcheng, the two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

“There is no grass growing in front of this Yangcheng city, and there are rocks underneath. The new general’s new tactics are really useless.” Chang Wei was a little annoyed, but this country of Qi has some smart people who know how to adapt. ”

Zhao Xu nodded, “The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. This is the case in marching and fighting. We can’t let us take advantage of everything. Looking

at Yangcheng in the middle of the mountain road, he said: “The tunnel can no longer be dug, so we will adopt the old method and attack at night.” ”

For him, the difficulty he is facing now is that he cannot take advantage of it like digging a tunnel.

However, relying on their superior firearms to take down Yangcheng is still very easy, but it is slightly more difficult than Pingyuan City.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei said that King Yan wanted to go with him.

With such dense artillery, there will naturally be more casualties in daytime siege.

But it is still possible to let the skirmishers approach the city wall at night and blow up their artillery.

Yangcheng City Wall.

As soon as King Yan’s troops arrived, Wang Xie and Xie An boarded the city wall.

Looking at King Yan’s army that was setting up camp, he and Xie An exchanged glances.

“The army of King Yan should attack the city at night.” Wang Xie said.

“Why?” Xie An looked at Wang Xie, he was not convinced by this young man of the Wang family who was more than 20 years younger than him.

Wang Xie said: “In previous wars, the King of Yan would rather take trouble than order the soldiers to attack the city by force. It can be seen that he cherishes the lives of the soldiers very much, and this time is no exception. The general will have to work hard at night.”

Wang Xie said, Xie An was silent for a moment.

It does seem to be so.

He said: “This is really troublesome. The sky is full of dark clouds today, and at night you will not be able to see your fingers. King Yan’s soldiers and horses always like to send scattered soldiers to harass them. How can we fight this battle?”

Although their mission is to delay the fall of Yangcheng as much as possible. .

But he really has no idea.

Wang Xie said: “Didn’t General Xie study the tactics used by King Yan when he attacked Beidi? Among them is the method of countering Beidi’s night attack.”

Xie An’s face was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

It was just that the battle was ahead, and he only wanted to complete the task, so he said: “Please advise.”

Wang Xie came to Xie An and said a few words to him.

Xie An was overjoyed upon hearing this.

When the two were talking, Zhao Xu watched them clearly through the binoculars.

Zhao Xu said: “The person on the city wall seems to be Xie An. He once came to Yanzhou to pick up King Chun and return to the capital. That young general is Wang Xie?”

During the Northern Expedition, when Zhao Heng came to Yanzhou, Wang Zi’an brought him to Yancheng. seen.

During this period of time, when Tsui Hark was collecting information on the Qi State, he also knew Wang Xie a little bit, saying that he was brave and resourceful.

Thinking of this, he frowned and told Chang Wei a few words.
