Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 869

[Chapter 869]

Cotton City.

After Zhao Xu’s order was issued, Tanma arrived here within two days.

These days, Ma Han is taking the next order from King Yan.

He thought he would go to Songyang Pass in the same way, but he didn’t expect to go to Yiyang this time.

“This is His Highness taking care of our Qin army and giving us a chance to show our faces.” Ma Han said to Dian Zhang with an excited expression.

The task of taking down Yiyang is obviously easy and has a lot of credit.

After a pause, he continued to say to Dianzhang: “Let the soldiers sleep well during the day and set off at night. Your Highness will take care of us. We must not embarrass Your Highness. We must fight a good battle.”

Dianzhang nodded and said loudly, “This It is necessary, our Qin army is no worse than the army of the Wangfu.”

Ma Han blushed when he heard this, and laughed twice, “Decrees, this is to cheer up, but there is still a gap between our Qin army and the army of the Wangfu. , but not afraid, just catch up.”

Dianzhang also smiled awkwardly, “What the general said is that our Qin army will definitely be able to catch up, but even so, if we fight Yiyang, it’s the same as playing.”

” That’s not bad.” Mahan straightened his back.

Their Qin army was only slightly inferior to the army under the command of King Yan.

But whether facing Beidi or the powerful clan, they can beat them to the point of crying.

It was agreed upon.

That night, Qin Jun went to Yiyang.

Now, the eyes of the whole Yizhou are on Songyang Pass.

It can be said that Songyang Pass is more important than Yiyang City.

According to the information sent by Yan Wang Ling Tanma.

Dou Wei, including Nanliang Emperor Dou Mu and the core children of the Xiao family, all went to Songyang Pass with the army this time.

Obviously, they had planned for the worst.

As for the 100,000 troops in Yiyang, it was just to appease the nobles in Yizhou, lest they judge that they were abandoned and cause trouble.

Or simply surrender to King Yan.

After three nights of trekking, the Qin army arrived in Yiyang City.

After a day’s rest, at midnight on the fourth day, Ma Han launched an attack on Yiyang.

This time, they did not carry artillery, only muskets and grenades.

Attacking frontally during the day will naturally suffer more losses.

It’s better to have a night raid at night, take the opportunity to occupy the city wall, and fight street battles at dawn.

“The bombardiers are in front, and the ladder team is in the back. Throw three rounds of grenades, immediately climb up the city wall, clean up the enemies on the wall, and occupy the highest point.” Before the battle, Dian Zhang issued an order.

After investigation, Yiyang’s defenses are still very strict.

However, the soldiers and horses guarding Yiyang are obviously third-rate soldiers and horses improvised by the private soldiers of the rich family.

These soldiers wore a variety of military uniforms, some wore armor and carried long knives, and some wore cloth shirts and held matchlock guns.

Only a handful of soldiers carried flintlock guns and wore identical military uniforms.

“Yes.” The order was issued, and the generals immediately returned to their respective armies.

Not long after, the bombardment team touched the city wall in the dark.

Standing at a distance of 30 meters from the city wall, they threw three rounds of grenades at the city wall in a row, and the city wall was suddenly ablaze.

Immediately, other soldiers rushed towards the city wall carrying the temporary ladder made during the day.

Many soldiers followed behind the cloud ladder team.

The ladder leaned against the city wall, and they climbed up immediately.

“Kill!”

“Bang bang bang!”

“…”

Ascending to the city wall, the soldiers of the Qin army took up the Qin-style rifles with bayonets and rushed towards the enemy soldiers, shouting and killing.

When encountering someone who comes close to them, they will stab.

If the distance is far, they raise their guns and shoot.

Three rounds of grenades had almost wiped out the enemy soldiers on the city wall.

The remaining enemy soldiers were quickly cleared.

The soldiers of the Qin army immediately occupied the city wall.

According to the plan.

They controlled the walls of Yiyang and stopped their attack.

Instead, aim the muzzle at the bottom and defend the city wall.

It was night, and you couldn’t see your fingers in the alley.

They don’t know the roads in Yiyang, fighting at night in the alleys at this moment, the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, they just occupied the high ground of the city wall to prevent the opponent’s counterattack.

But to their surprise, after taking down the city wall, the expected counterattack did not come.

After dawn, something even more surprising happened to them.

A large number of powerful generals led the soldiers to the city wall holding white flags and surrendered to them.

“It’s almost there. The civil strife in Dasong is about to be quelled.” Ma Han and Dian Zhang came to the city wall, looked at this scene, and he said with emotion.

Just as King Yan judged, until now, the only ones who will continue to fight with them are the core members of the powerful clan.

They hated the king of Yan for depriving them of their power, and feared that they would lose the war and be captured by the king of Yan and eventually executed.

However, the lower strata of the rich and powerful families have choices.

Seeing that King Yan regained one state after another, the territory controlled by the powerful clan became smaller and smaller.

Now, being squeezed into this small place in the southwest, their confidence was naturally shaken.

Still hanging around with the powerful clansmen, it’s just like being a monk hitting the clock for a day.

As soon as King Yan’s army came to fight, they were so scared that they peed their pants.

It is better to voluntarily surrender than to die in battle.

Although there is no more than a hundred acres of fertile land, at least one’s life remains.

In the future, if the land is divided into six acres, life will be able to survive.

What’s more, in the future, you can enter the workshop to work or do business.

“That’s right, even if Yiyang is like this, I’m afraid the city in the south of Yizhou will fall in anticipation.” Dianzhang nodded, “It’s just a pity that the wealth of the Nanliang treasury has been transported away, and those are the things in the former Jinling city. Ma Han pursed his lips, snorted coldly, and said, ”

Don’t be afraid of this. Your Highness mentioned this matter when we chatted with me. Seeing that the situation is over, the remaining powerful families will definitely flee with a lot of wealth. , and the Western natives are not kind people, and their plan to stir up civil strife in Dasong failed, and they will definitely make a fortune if they can.”

Clearing his throat, he continued, “But as His Highness said, they took No matter how much they have left, they will be compensated ten times, one hundred times, one thousand times in the future. At that time, we will say that we have as much wealth as they have stolen from us.”

Dian Zhang nodded, “It’s still His Royal Highness’s plan, our cheapness is not so cheap. It ‘s easy to occupy.” The

two chatted for a while, and then led the Qin army to take over the entire Yiyang City.

However, although most of the Yiyang army surrendered, some remained stubbornly resisting.

After a few small battles, Yiyang was completely brought under the control of the Qin army.

Immediately, Ma Han left 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yiyang, and ordered Dianzhang to lead the remaining soldiers and horses all the way south to capture other Yizhou cities and completely control Yizhou.

For the next six days, Qin Jun sang all the way.

As they expected, the remaining cities, they often fired a few shots and threw a few grenades, and they surrendered conveniently.

Whether it is a county town or a county town, the three to five thousand or two to three thousand soldiers and horses inside are simply vulnerable.
