Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 824

[Chapter 824]

“Perhaps, this King Yan is really an unpredictable guy. No one knows what his real purpose of mobilizing the army is. The fake may be true, and the real may also be fake.” .” Luther spread his hands.

Brooke’s words were correct. The King Yan’s army equipped with new muskets fighting the Shizu army undoubtedly meant that they used muskets and cannons to bully the natives who knew only swords.

Sometimes, numbers don’t make the difference.

Then he said: “In any case, the defense around Bacheng must be strengthened, and trench defenses must be established on key roads to resist the advance of

King Yan’s army.” Try to take back Jinling, capture King Yan alive, and then cut off the retreat of the royal army, so that it will be done once and for all.” Xie Duan said suddenly, his eyes were a little crazy.

“Brother Xie, I know that you have been heartbroken since you lost Jinling, but we are no match for King Yan in defending the city, let alone attacking the city, it is better to follow the steps.” Liang Kaidao.

“But Jinling has at most 30,000 royal troops, and the remaining 30,000 are distributed in Sioux City and Songcheng. If an army of 300,000 can’t take it down, can’t it be possible that an army of 600,000 can’t take it down?” Xie Duan said, “Furthermore, if we attack Jinling, the troops from the royal palace going west will definitely retreat, and Bacheng will be safe.”

“This…” Liang Kai rubbed his chin when he heard this, and looked at Luther and Brooke.

What Xie Duan said seems to make sense.

Luther and Brooke looked at each other, and Luther said: “This is exactly what I’m going to say next. At first we decided to lure the enemy deep, then capture Jinling, cut off its food roads, and then annihilate the Royal Palace’s own troops. Now the Royal Palace Didn’t the pro-army just come to your door?”

After a pause, he continued: “However, King Yan is cunning. When attacking Jinling, if the situation is not right, he should retreat immediately, and he must not love to fight.”

Xie Duan was overjoyed when he heard this, “We I would like to make the soldiers under my command serve as forwards.”

Liang Kai’s gaze wandered over Luther and Xie Duan.

After pondering for a while, he said: “I think you should pay attention to King Yan’s movements. If he leaves Jinling, it is definitely a conspiracy. Don’t fight this battle. If King Yan stays in Jinling City, this time they are the real ones. I want to hit Bazhou.”

To him, King Yan may be cunning, but he will never put himself in danger.

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.

Brooke said, “In this case, let the Wu army build a trench defense line in the west of Xiangzhou, let the three troops of Wang Hanxie go down the river, arrive at Zhejiang Province, and then go north to attack Jinling.”

Half of Wu’s navy is now In Changcheng.

They can go to Zhejiang along the waterway when they came.

“If we can borrow another 200,000 soldiers, the chance of success may be greater.” Xie Duan said.

At present, Changcheng is stationed with soldiers and horses withdrawn from near Jinling, a total of 400,000 troops.

Wu’s 800,000 troops are stationed in Xiangzhou and Bazhou.

There is no need for so many troops to defend against 60,000 King Yan troops in deep ditches and high fortifications.

What’s more, Nanliang and Nanping can send troops to support Bazhou at any time.

“Then allocate another 200,000 yuan,” Luthor said.

This is also a counterattack in their despair.

They have been forced to retreat by King Yan.

Since King Yan came to the door, they tried every means to defeat him.

After deciding on this matter, Brook said in order to ease the heavy atmosphere, “Now, you are trying to do everything possible to delay the war. Our muskets and artillery will arrive soon. If we can survive until the arrival of the British Army, it will be It’s time for a counterattack.”

“Ambassador Brooke, please rest assured, we will definitely get through this.” Liang Kai resolutely said.

The reason why he agreed to Wang Xie’s suggestion was also for this purpose.

Attacking Jinling is an adventure, but it may also be the beginning of victory.

Of course, as he said, if the situation is not right, they will retreat immediately, and they will not lose much in the end.

Such a thing, why not do it.

In the afternoon, various orders came from Bacheng.

Xiangzhou’s army and Changcheng’s army began to mobilize successively.

Of course, all of this can’t be hidden from the eyes of the Fourth Courtyard.

Information continued to arrive in Jinling.

“Your Highness, this trick is really effective, and the army of the clan has moved.” Chang Wei laughed.

The power clans probably would never have imagined that they were not fighting for war this time, but for returning the migrating people to their hometowns.

No matter how they respond, as long as their army moves, they will fall into the trap.

“Next, we have to look at the Fourth Academy and the Third Army.” Zhao Xu couldn’t help smiling as he was drinking tea.

Most of the people in coastal prefecture in Dasong were coerced to the west.

Among them are mainly the people of three states, one is Zhejiang, which is Zhejiang, one is Haizhou, which is Fujian, and the other is Jinzhou, which is Guangzhou.

The people of Zhejiang and Haizhou were mainly relocated to Jiangzhou, because Jiangzhou bordered these two states.

Jinzhou was mainly relocated to Xiangzhou and Jiaozhou, that is, Guangxi, because it borders these two states.

The four courtyards and the third army went to these three states.

“However, Jiangzhou’s powerful army seems to be preparing to hand over Jinling City, Your Highness…”

“The king will stay here and not go anywhere.” Before Chang Wei could finish speaking, Zhao Xu said, “I don’t want to bear children, and I can’t catch wolves. The king is here to risk himself this time, and let them come to Jinling boldly.”

“Your Highness, this is not a joke.” Chang Wei was anxious.

From the perspective of the clan, there may be 60,000 royal troops near Jinling.

But in fact, there are only 30,000 royal troops near Jinling.

There are only 20,000 people in Jinling City.

The remaining 10,000 people are distributed in Sioux City and Songcheng.

If the city is besieged by a large army, it is still very dangerous.

“Needless to say, Qin-style rifles are not handed over to you as fire sticks. At worst, soldiers from Sioux City and Song City will be transferred to Jinling during the war.” Zhao Xu continued.

He knew very well that once he left, the value of Jinling City would decrease a lot.

He is going to be a piece of meat to attract wolves.

Because this time the plan is very important.

Once the people come back, the powerful clan will never think about wrapping them away again.

In this way, the powerful clans lost their source of troops, and also lost a lot of labor, and their strength was greatly damaged.

He also avoided greater damage to Jiangnan.
