Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 98
[Chapter 98]
“Your Majesty, this is where our people were ambushed by King Yan’s army.” In the
Yanshan Mountains, on the narrow mountain road leading to Qingfengkou.
The Beidi cavalry team stretches for dozens of miles, and each Beidi cavalry has four horses and one man.
One horse for riding and three for spare, so that horses can be exchanged constantly for fast marching.
And it is precisely because of the extravagance that one person owns four horses, it is difficult for even Da Song’s cavalry to catch them every autumn hunting.
When they return with a full load, these horses can also serve as transportation functions.
There are also a large number of cattle and sheep behind the team, and these cattle and sheep are their rations for the two days of marching.
Once they entered Yanzhou and their rations were exhausted, they could only rely on the things looted in Yanzhou to satisfy their hunger.
When Kutu heard this, he looked around and found that this place was indeed a good place to ambush.
Looking down at the valley, there are still transport vehicles damaged in the battle, and the dried blood on the stone has also turned black, proving the brutality of the battle that day.
“Hmph, King Yan, this time I will make him pay back ten times.” Kutu’s eyes burst into a sharp light.
In these years, Beidi has never lost so humiliatingly.
Every autumn hunting, although the Yuan family sent troops, it was just a formality. They plundered as much as they wanted, with almost no loss.
But this king of Yan made him lose face.
This incident has spread throughout the grasslands, making him the laughing stock of other tribes.
This time he personally led Qiushou to capture King Yan, cut off his head, and used it as a chamber pot to humiliate him day and night.
“Let’s go.”
With a loud shout, Kutu swung his whip forward.
The huge team moved slowly along the mountain road again.
…
Zhangjia Wubao.
Zhang Kang was teasing the mynah leisurely in the yard. On the streets of Wubao, the Zhang family’s children looked relaxed, and they couldn’t tell that there was going to be a big battle in Yan County.
Compared with the Zhang family, other wealthy families are much more nervous.
Their property was handed over to the palace, and the private soldiers were disbanded.
I can only take the old and the young to Yancheng to escape.
“Husband is in a good mood these few days, what’s the happy event?” Yuan Shi came over at this moment.
Zhang Kang shook his head, “In a few days, King Yan will die, and then Yan County will be our Zhang family’s decision.” The
Yuan family and Zhang Kang’s husband and wife are one, and they are the children of the Yuan family, so they have never treated the King of Yan. favor.
If King Yan died, she would be as happy as Zhang Kang.
So he said with a smile, “You said that father intended to use Beidi people to get rid of King Yan, but when Beidi people kill King Yan, do you think they will hit us in Wubao?”
“Of course not.” Zhang Kang blurted out.
After finishing speaking, he realized that what he said was too sure and would make Yuan doubtful, so he said: “Even if we fight, we still have soldiers. Nothing happened in previous years, and nothing happened this year.”
Yuan nodded. Besiege Zhangjiawu Fort, but the battles are often not very fierce, most of the time Zhangjia private soldiers have the upper hand.
Because of this, she dared to live with Zhang Kang in Wubao, instead of Yancheng, which King Yan focused on defending.
After a few gossips with her husband, Yuan Shi went back.
At this moment, a servant came over, and Fu Er talked to Zhang Kang.
Zhang Kang nodded, followed his family out of Wubao, and came to the mulberry field not far from Wubao.
“Your Majesty’s army will arrive at Yan City in two days. You make the dead soldiers in the city ready. Once the army is stationed outside the city, immediately open the city gate inside.” Tuoba Lie walked out from among the branches.
“Yes, my lord.” Zhang Kang replied cautiously.
Now he has placed 800 dead men in the city. Once ordered, these dead men will attack the city gate to open the way for Beidi’s army.
Then he said: “Don’t your lord attack other counties and come directly to Yancheng?”
“It’s not necessary, King Yan deployed heavy troops in the three counties in the north, and when they reach Yancheng, King Yan will wait for work at ease, which is not conducive to taking Yancheng. ” Tuoba Lie said.
Zhang Kang agreed, Tuoba Lie’s statement was the same as what he found out.
In the past two days, a large number of soldiers of the royal family have left Yancheng.
“However, the king of Yan is full of tricks, and you should be careful to prevent fraud.” Zhang Kang now has a psychological shadow.
After all, he has already been tricked twice by King Yan.
Tuoba Lie frowned, this time he didn’t let the Zhang family investigate at all, but went out by himself, staring at Yancheng with a detailed work.
What I am afraid of is being played like the previous two times.
But this time it seemed to be fine.
Indeed, soldiers from the palace had left. He estimated that there were only about 15,000 people in Yancheng now.
“No amount of tricks are useless under Beidi’s iron hooves. Therefore, the most important thing is to open the city gate. As long as the city is broken, one of us Beidi can stand against ten.” Tuoba Lie spoke confidently.
The ones who were defeated by King Yan last time were nothing more than the servants. The real Beidi warriors will scare King Yan this time.
After explaining Zhang Kang’s matter, Tuoba Lie disappeared in the mulberry field.
When he reappeared, he was already in Yan City.
He also kept a hand with Zhang Kang, now in Yancheng, in addition to Zhang Kang’s 800 dead men, there are also 500 dead men arranged by him.
When Zhang Kang’s people caused chaos, he would also send his dead men to take down another city gate to ensure that the army could enter the city.
After his figure disappeared into the street, a person appeared where he was standing just now.
It was none other than Chai Wu.
The battle clouds in Yan County were dense, and the Yanwei naturally got busy.
Among them, the Zhang family and this Beidi spy made them most worried.
So during this time, they have been staring.
It’s just that the Zhang family and Beidi Xizuo seem to be very confident in their intelligence capabilities, swaggeringly set up in Yancheng, unaware that they have been targeted.
Maybe they didn’t expect that Yan Wang attached great importance to intelligence and had already secretly deployed control.
And besides their Yanwei, Tianxianglou also cooperated with them this time, and shared the news of their investigation with the palace.
With the collection of all kinds of information and the fact that Zhang Kang was plotting, they naturally focused on tracking down the dead men in the city.
…
Wangfu.
Zhao Xu was trying on the armor, and the battle was imminent, so he couldn’t hide in the palace, and just let the soldiers charge forward.
So he decided to take command on the battlefield with Chang Wei himself.
In this way, the morale of the soldiers can be greatly boosted, and it can also increase the psychological prestige of the soldiers.
“Does Your Highness really want to go to the city wall? Swords have no eyes, if Your Highness…we don’t want to live anymore.” Feng’er helped Zhao Xu put on the armor, and the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red.
She listened to the people in Yanjun about the cruelty of the Beidi people every day, and she couldn’t help but feel scared.
Luan’er is similar to Feng’er, without a smile on his face.
They waited for three years, and King Yan’s brain disease was finally healed, but now they were at risk of losing King Yan again.
Although King Yan is full of confidence these days, they understand that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can be sure who wins until the last moment.
Putting on the armor for Zhao Xu, the two looked at each other.
At this time Feng’er suddenly closed the door of the sleeping hall.
The two came in front of Zhao Xu, lightly peeled off their bare hands, and the clothes on their bodies slipped off in an instant.
“Your Highness, the future of this war is unpredictable. I don’t want my servants to be ruined by those Beidi people. I hope His Highness will take pity on you.”
Feng’er’s face was flushed, and water seemed to gush from her eyes.
Zhao Xu looked at the two people who looked like sheep fat jade, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
