Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 842

[Chapter 842]

“General, Shacheng’s defenses are very lax, and the patrolling soldiers are dozing off.” In the dark, the soldiers

of the First Army and the Second Army quietly completed the siege of Shacheng.

After the investigation, the soldiers under his command reported the situation to Qin Shan and Guan Tong.

The two reported the information to Chang Wei again.

When fighting in peacetime, the two of them are very majestic.

But Chang Wei is here, they still have to be honest.

Chang Wei nodded.

During the day, he had already contacted the eyeliner of the Fourth Court in Shacheng.

According to the information provided by the Fourth Academy, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shacheng.

This small number of people is not enough for their appetizers.

However, attacking during the day will inevitably take a lot of effort to attack the city.

So they chose to raid at night.

Prepare to use the bundled grenades to directly blow open the gate of Shacheng, and then attack Shacheng.

Get Chang Wei’s order.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong went back to make arrangements.

At the moment, the two are each in charge of two city gates.

Not long after, a group of ten soldiers wiped out the gates of each of the four gates.

The ten-man team had a clear division of labor, with the soldier holding the bundled grenade in the middle.

Under the command of the captain, other soldiers aimed their guns at the city wall to prevent accidents.

However, the soldiers in Shacheng obviously did not expect that King Yan’s army would suddenly appear in Shacheng.

So patrolling is just an errand, without the carefulness and vigilance of wartime.

The soldiers at the four city gates easily arrived outside the city gate.

At this time, they stuffed the bundled hand grenades under the door, and then pulled the matchlock away.

“Withdraw!”

Sparks rose, and the soldiers quickly evacuated from the city wall.

In just fifteen seconds, there were thunderous sounds from the four city gates one after another, and flames shot up into the sky.

The wooden city wall gate couldn’t withstand the explosion from a distance, and collapsed.

“Kill!”

At this moment, the soldiers of the palace yelled to kill from all directions.

The Shizu soldiers in Shacheng were stunned by the explosion.

Relieved, he was almost heartbroken.

King Yan’s army has reached Shacheng.

The soldiers who reacted immediately rushed to the city wall, trying to block the city wall.

But it was too late, after blowing up the city gate.

The ten-man team returned to the city wall again, and as soon as the Shizu army appeared, they pulled the trigger and shot the Shizu soldiers.

If there are more soldiers from the Szu clan rushing over, they will throw grenades in the past.

“Boom!” “Boom!” The sound of explosions can be heard endlessly.

Then, other royal soldiers arrived.

Holding Qin-style rifles, they shot into the city while shooting.

The powerful soldiers in Shacheng wanted to stop it, but they were powerless.

They clumsily loaded their flintlock guns.

During this period, they were constantly shot and killed by each other.

In order to ensure the density of flintlock bullets, they lined up with their companions.

But King Yan’s soldiers are as flexible as monkeys in the mountains at this moment, but they don’t have any formation.

As they marched forward, the soldiers of King Yan shot at them from all directions.

Before they could take a few steps, their companions fell down one after another.

What makes them even more desperate is that this kind of attack still comes from outside their range.

So in the clumsy and flexible confrontation, the powerful soldiers quickly felt desperate.

The line formation they usually train has completely failed.

However, King Yan’s soldiers could hide in any corner in any position. When they fired a shot, the opponent had already fired five or six bullets.

The casualties of six powerful soldiers cannot be exchanged for the casualties of one soldier of King Yan.

As more and more King Yan soldiers poured in, they became even more desperate.

They lost the gates, and then they lost the walls, and after that, they lost every street.

After a night of fighting, the gunfire and grenade explosions died down the next morning.

The early morning sun shone in Shacheng, and the streets were full of corpses of powerful soldiers.

More soldiers surrendered. They squatted collectively on the school grounds and were detained by soldiers of King Yan.

In the houses, through the gaps in the windows, the people of Shacheng saw soldiers in dark green uniforms patrolling.

This night, Shacheng has changed.

But the common people are not afraid at all, more are pleasantly surprised.

The heavy taxation of powerful clans made it almost impossible for them to survive. They had long been looking forward to the arrival of King Yan’s army, allowing them to live a life in Jiangbei.

“General, Shacheng has been controlled by us, and the grain and supplies in the city are well preserved. Right now, the soldiers are destroying powerful and rich families,” Qin Shan said.

Chang Wei nodded.

Most of the powerful families who fled from the southeast were in Changcheng, but some fled to Xiangzhou.

After this war going south, they needed a lot of money to build the Jiangnan that was devastated by the war.

And the war is created by the rich and the powerful.

Naturally, their property needs to be rebuilt.

“Clean up the rich and powerful families in the city as soon as possible. We have copied the retreat route of Wu’s army. Now it’s time to clean them up.” Chang Wei said.

The raid on Shacheng was only to cut off the retreat route of Wu’s army, so that they retreated to Shacheng to resist.

But their ultimate goal is to attack from both sides and destroy Wu’s army.

The so-called speed is the most important thing, they want to attack Wu’s army before they can react.

This buried the 600,000 Wu army in Xiangzhou.
