Become a feudal king from today

"Dang, Dang..."

A burst of rapid and clear bells echoed in Yancheng.

Hearing this voice, the common people and wealthy families in Yancheng all changed their expressions.

The people outside hurried home.

People at home closed their doors and windows tightly, hiding in their houses with their families, shivering.

The vendors on the street were in chaos and dispersed like birds and animals without caring about their goods.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhao Xu is having dinner.

The sound of the bell sounded, Luan'er shook the chopsticks used to pick up the vegetables for Zhao Xu, and the mutton fell into the bowl, splashing a little bit of the soup on Zhao Xu's chest.

"Luan'er." Feng'er cooed and hurriedly wiped Zhao Xu.

But his face was the same as Luan'er's, unable to hide his worry.

The sound of this bell is different from the sound of morning bells and evening drums. It is the unique sound of alarm bells.

When the alarm bell rings, it can only mean one thing.

The Beidi people are coming.

"Don't be afraid." Zhao Xu held their hands, one on the left and the other on the right. "You guys stay in the palace and wait for me to come back."

"Your Highness..."

Luan'er almost shed tears, and Feng'er also looked sad.

They only felt sorry for King Yan's troubles.

After being crazy for three years, he was sent to this land of tigers and wolves again.

Not long after he recovered from his illness, he met Qiu Shou from Beidi again.

They just couldn't figure out why God was so unfair to King Yan alone.

Zhao Xu sighed helplessly when he saw the two of them like this.

They don't know anything about military affairs, they only know that the Beidi people have a bad reputation.

Now, the Beidi people's army is besieging the city, and they only feel that there is more danger than danger.

"Your Highness, please don't worry about the servants. The soldiers are still waiting for Your Highness." Feng'er pulled Luan'er and forced a small smile.

Zhao Xu nodded, now is not the time for love between children.

Putting on his armor and sword, he strode out of the palace.

At this time, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Chang Wei came riding his horse.

Jumping down in front of Zhao Xu, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the Beidi people have arrived at the city."

"Let's go." Zhao Xu said two words calmly.

At this moment, he couldn't show any lack of confidence.

But he was still a little nervous inside, after all, it was his first time to face war.

But he was nervous, and a stream of warm blood was flowing through his body.

Yanjun is his fiefdom. As the king of Yan, he must face the invading enemies.

Yancheng is here, he is here.

If Yancheng dies, he dies.

After getting on their horses, he and Chang Wei went straight to the north gate.

The streets were quiet, not a soul in sight.

But Zhao Xu knew that there were eyes watching him behind every window.

They were scared and full of anticipation.

I only hope that he can lead the royal army to drive away the Beidi people.

"Your Highness!"

When he arrived at the north gate, Zhao Xu got off his horse, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately knelt down on one knee and gave him a neat military salute.

The uneasiness on their faces turned to determination at this moment.

When King Yan came, their king did not hide in the palace, but only let them fight for their lives on the battlefield.

As people from Yan County, what reason do they have to be afraid.

Zhao Xu put his hand on the hilt of the sword and looked sharply.

Facing the soldiers, he loudly said: "Without courtesy, I will fight with you today and will never retreat!"

Zhao Xu's voice spread far away.

The soldiers who heard this were shocked and said in unison: "We will defend His Highness and Yan City to the death."

Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu with admiration in his eyes.

Such a prince is the one worthy of his loyalty.

Only a coward would hide in a safe place and tremble with fear.

Passing in front of the gatekeepers, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei climbed up the stairs to the city wall.

Waves of horses' neighing sounded from outside.

At the same time, there were also taunts and curses from Beidi people.

Climbing the city wall, Zhao Xu looked outside the city.

I saw a sea of ​​cavalry outside Yan City.

The Beidi cavalry came overwhelmingly from the north. After the front cavalry stopped not far from the north gate, the rear cavalry walked around the city and wrapped up the entire Yan City.

These Beidi cavalry were either wearing leather armor or light scale armor, and they would suddenly shoot arrows at the city wall while galloping back and forth.

Some arrows kept falling on the city wall, or flying over the city wall.

There were also arrows hitting the soldiers on the city wall, making a soft sound of metal clashing.

"As expected by His Highness, the Beidi people only made a tentative attack on the three northern counties. After that, the entire army came directly to Yancheng, with about 20,000 people." Chang Wei said while looking outside the city.

A man surrounded by numerous horsemen attracted his attention.

"Well, it seems that they are determined to win Yancheng." Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked at a place where a middle-aged man wearing brocade qiu stood out from the crowd.

In addition to using Yancheng as bait, he also had another consideration in making this arrangement.

That is, once Beidi is defeated, the troops of the three counties can form a defensive line with Yancheng.

This line of defense is like a pocket, capable of encircling and suppressing the Beidi people to the greatest extent.

And when the battle in Yancheng was unfavorable, they could also come from the north to support them.

But Beidi didn't seem to care about this.

Perhaps in their common sense, infantrymen who leave the city to fight with them are simply looking for death.

"The Beidi people's war horses are really rich." Zhao Xu suddenly felt emotional.

Many of Beidi's cavalry were composed of one man and four horses. This was something that Dasong people simply couldn't even imagine.

Chang Wei clicked his tongue, he was also greedy.

Just as the two of them were observing the siege army.

The formation of the Beidi cavalry suddenly changed.

The scattered cavalry formed a neat queue, and Beidi generals rode up to the front of the battle formation one by one.

A Beidi general rode forward and shouted: "General Dasong on the city, listen, this is the Black Iron King's tent in Beidi. My king personally leads the army and must destroy your city. If you open the city now and go out to accept surrender, I will spare your lives, otherwise I will attack the city and massacre it for three days without leaving a single tile behind..."

Chang Wei's face suddenly turned red when the voice came.

He pointed at the middle-aged man in the Beidi Army who was protected by many cavalry and said: "Your Highness, that could be the king they call, Kutu."

Zhao Xu looked at the man, who seemed to be looking at the city wall as well.

He knew the Black Iron King's Tent that Yanjun was facing, and he had also heard of Kutu's name.

"Xu Lie, shoot an arrow in that direction and give them a response." Zhao Xu said calmly.

The battle hasn't started yet, but the Beidi people have begun to play the game of subduing the enemy without fighting.

But this shows from the side that Beidi people are confident in themselves. ‘

If a large army surrounded the cities of other counties, the generals guarding the cities would really have to think about it.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Lie took out an arrow from his quiver, bent his bow, and shot an arrow at Kutu.

The arrow flew over a long distance and almost failed to reach Kutu because of the great distance.

But this is enough to express the will of the Yancheng defender.

Under the city, Kutu looked at the arrow that landed three meters in front of him. He was surprised, then ashamed and angry.

"Give Da Songren some color to show." He said coldly.

The wooden pallet went away in response, followed by a unique horn blast.

The Beidi cavalry on horseback bent their bows and set arrows.

"Whoosh!"

A dull sound broke through the air.

Arrows all over the sky swooped in like locusts, pouring down on the city.
