Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 857

[Chapter 857 Prepare for War]

“That’s right, since we can’t hide, let’s fight to the death. Even if our Nanliang is wiped out in ashes, we are willing to drag King Yan into the quagmire of war to buy you time.” Dou Wei looked at Ah Shu Al, Iron Tower and Olsky.

He said this to show his loyalty.

Ashur’s army was stationed in Yiyang, which already made him frightened.

Tie Muta led another 300,000 troops to arrive, and he felt that he was standing on the tip of a knife.

Because as long as Beidi is willing, Nanliang can be destroyed at any time.

In order to keep Nanliang alive, he can only show Ashur and Tiemu Tower that he is a loyal dog.

In this way, the war is won, and Bei Di thinks about their loyalty, and Nanliang can still continue to exist proudly.

If they lose, they can also flee to Beidi, or even the country of Ross, so as not to lose their wealth and lives.

“Hahaha…” Dou Wei’s statement made the three of Ashur feel at ease.

Olsky also put away his doubts, he said: “If Nanliang has such will, maybe he can fight against King Yan.” After finishing speaking

, he looked to the north, “King Yan’s army has already left Jiameng. Guan, we should also bump our fists with them.”

He knew the strength of King Yan’s army, but he also knew that King Yan was a huge threat to the country of Ross.

Especially the extreme north they just got.

If this king of Yan is allowed to grow stronger.

Beidi will perish, the land of the extreme north will be lost, and even the entire east of the Ural Mountains will no longer be safe.

If this day happens.

The territory of Ross State will be reduced by 70%.

This is absolutely intolerable to them.

“Let them continue to go a little further, and when they reach Mian County, teach them a hard lesson,” Ashur said.

Mian County is the northern gateway of Yiyang, only two hundred miles away from Yiyang and three hundred miles away from Jiameng Pass.

Under their strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, King Yan’s army could not get in front of the village or store in the back, and could not get any supplies locally.

Even if they wanted to return to Jiameng Pass, it would take three days.

is the optimal distance for cavalry to attack them.

After all, the area where they fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness was the north of Yiyang.

If King Yan’s army arrived near Yiyang, the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness would fail.

After discussing the matter, everyone acted separately.

Tiemuta returned to the army, rectified the cavalry, and formulated with the generals the tactics of attacking the grain road during the Battle of Mian County.

Ashur led his infantry and cavalry to Cotton County.

After King Yan’s army left Jiameng Pass, some of their soldiers went to Mian County in advance to dig trenches on key roads and bridges.

In addition to Mian County, they also dug many fortifications on the way to Yiyang.

When a fortification is breached, they will retreat to the next fortification and resist steadily.

This time he led the rest of the army to cross with the Nanliang and Nanping troops.

It is to rely on these trench fortifications to block the army of King Yan.

While they were responsible for the frontal attack, the Iron Wooden Tower was responsible for the surprise attack.

In addition, Olsky will command 5,000 Russian troops and more than 20,000 elite soldiers who have prepared front-loading rifles, and cooperate with the Iron Tower to carry out surprise attacks.

Try to wipe out King Yan’s soldiers and horses before they arrive in Yiyang.

…

At the same time, Dongbao County.

The royal army and the Qin army continued intermittently for more than 30 miles on the official road.

In order to facilitate the battle, Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers to march with one army as a unit.

When walking between each army, there is a distance of 100 meters.

The chariots are distributed on both sides of the soldiers, and scouts are arranged nearby for investigation.

If you encounter the Beidi cavalry, you can immediately rely on the chariot to shoot the Beidi cavalry.

“Your Highness, Dongbao County is in front of you. After passing Dongbao County, another two hundred miles is Mian County.”

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei were at the forefront of the team.

Seeing the outline of a city appearing in front of him, Chang Wei pointed forward and said.

“When we arrive at the county seat, let the soldiers rest and eat.” Zhao Xu looked at the sun in the sky, it was noon.

Along the way, apart from the burned huts and barren fields, they didn’t even see half of the enemy soldiers.

It’s almost like no man’s land.

If he didn’t have full confidence in the army under his command, he really wouldn’t dare to let the army go deep here alone.

Otherwise, once there is a problem with the food and grass, the retreat will be cut off by the Beidi cavalry.

The 50,000 Qin army and the 120,000 royal family troops will be buried here.

Not long after, the army entered Dongbao City and began to take out grain from the chariots and bury pots to make rice.

Zhao Xu simply ate a few mouthfuls of fried noodles and drank a few mouthfuls of water, then climbed up the city wall with Chang Wei to observe the surrounding terrain.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers showed discouraged smiles.

Since arriving at Jiameng Pass, King Yan ate the same as he ate.

Sometimes, to save trouble, King Yan even ate worse than them.

For example, right now, they were about to eat hot rice porridge, but King Yan ate a few mouthfuls of fried noodles.

“Leave 2,000 soldiers to guard Dongbao City, plant mines around, remember to mark it, so as not to blow up your own people.” Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.

Starting from Jiameng Pass, Dongbao City was the second county they encountered.

He left a thousand soldiers to guard the first county seat.

Here he decided to leave 2,000 soldiers on guard.

Going forward, he still wants to control this empty city in his own hands when he encounters other cities.

The reason is simple, double protection.

Although he believes that only the chariot can offset the disadvantages of strong walls and clear fields.

However, in order to prevent food accidents, he still had to hoard some food and grass in the cities along the road for emergency.

Therefore, the army walks in front, and the people behind will continue to transport food and grass to these cities.

Until they encounter each other’s army.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied yes, and immediately arranged for the generals stationed in Dongbao City.

Had lunch.

The army briefly rested for a while, and then continued to set off.

After another two-day trek, they took control of another county town a hundred miles away from Miancheng, and then entered Mianjun.

At this time, the detective in charge of the investigation frequently reported that he had found Beidi scouts.

The atmosphere of war instantly became intense.

Just then, a scouting cavalryman returned with a letter.

There was a flame mark on the letter, which was obviously information sent by the Fourth Court.

After opening the letter, Zhao Xu glanced at the contents, pursed his lips, and then smiled disdainfully.

In the letter, the Fourth Court mentioned the Iron Tower, Fan Xinglun, and the arrival of five thousand soldiers from the Ross Kingdom.

Cheves’ “Wait and see.” is here.

“That’s good too, so I don’t have to clean up one by one, this time I will clean up together.” Zhao Xu mentioned the letter to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei saw it and sneered twice.

In his eyes, the five thousand Rus army is really not even a dish.

As for Nanping Kingdom and Tiemu Pagoda, they were just wasting more bullets and would not fundamentally change the situation of the battle.

“Prepare for war!” Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

Since the other party came prepared, he would use blood and fire to give them a cruel reality.
