Become a feudal king from today

"As long as you kill King Yan, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. Give it to me!"

In front of a slightly higher mound.

Gao Man looked at the palace soldiers who were surrounded by the wealthy private soldiers and felt slightly proud.

In his opinion, he won this battle.

King Yan only had a thousand men and horses, but this time he led more than 12,000 elite private soldiers of wealthy families.

Most of these private soldiers are children of wealthy families and have high fighting spirit.

Ten times more powerful than the enemy, King Yan is doomed this time.

Now, he just needs to wait for his soldiers to kill the palace soldiers one by one.

Gao Man's words floated over the battlefield.

The morale of the wealthy private soldiers was high. Amidst the shouts of killing, the wealthy soldiers holding shields and swords in front rushed towards the spears.

They used shields to block the thrusting spears, and the soldiers behind them ducked under the spear shafts and chopped off the spearmen's legs with their knives.

But in this position, they couldn't use all their strength, and the sword couldn't kill the spearmen when they hit the plate armor.

Seeing this, they bent down and tried to rush into the formation and pounce on the spearmen.

But at this moment, suddenly the second row of spearmen thrust their spears at them.

Immediately, hundreds of wealthy soldiers screamed and fell down.

However, the wealthy soldiers from behind continued to pounce.

They stepped on the corpses of their companions and tried to continue to break the formation. There was a stalemate between the two sides' offense and defense.

Bodies piled up at the perimeter of the defense line, more and more.

"Hold on!"

Lu Chang commanded in the middle of the circular formation.

Within half an hour, a mountain of corpses more than one meter high was piled up outside the circular formation.

The strong armor of the royal soldiers gave them a great advantage in battle.

The noble soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood, but their weapons could not effectively penetrate the plate armor of the royal soldiers.

But fighting is physical work.

There were too many noble soldiers, and the physical strength of the royal soldiers continued to be exhausted, and their movements gradually became sluggish.

Seeing that the swords could not do much harm to the royal soldiers, some noble soldiers stepped on the mountain of corpses and jumped into the middle of the royal soldiers, throwing them to the ground and wrestling with them.

As more and more noble soldiers did this, the edges of the circular formation fell into chaos.

On the mound, Gao Man's heart changed from pride to worry, and from worry to pride.

Seeing that the soldiers of the wealthy clan suffered a large number of casualties in the short period of contact, he was shocked by the combat power of King Yan's soldiers.

But as the saying goes, the number of ants kills the elephant, and over time, they begin to gain the upper hand.

"Come on, come on, the first one to rush into the formation will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." Gao Man shouted.

The wealthy soldiers and generals continued to pass this sentence down.

Seeing that it was possible for their side to break the formation, the morale of the wealthy soldiers was even higher, and they ran one by one towards the circular formation of the royal soldiers.

Under the squeeze of many noble soldiers, a gap appeared in the circular formation.

The wealthy soldiers rushed in and fought with the royal soldiers in the formation.

Gao Man saw this scene and was very happy, "King Yan died here today."

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rumbled.

The noble soldiers looked for a sound and saw in the smoke and dust, one by one, the silver-armored cavalry rushed towards them with their sabers raised.

Seeing this, they were shocked.

Gao Man was so frightened that his face turned pale.

These silver-armored cavalry came not from the official road to the east, but from behind them.

The silver-armored cavalry rushed into the noble soldiers like a tiger into a pack of wolves.

As the war horses galloped, they knocked away the noble soldiers one by one.

The saber rose and fell, blood spattered, and screams were heard everywhere.

"I've been fooled and fallen into King Yan's trap." Gao Man suddenly realized.

These cavalry would not appear for no reason. There is only one explanation, and that is that King Yan was prepared in advance.

The appearance of thousands of cavalry threw the wealthy soldiers into complete chaos.

Morale seemed to collapse in an instant.

But what frightened him even more was that when the cavalry arrived, he heard another cry of killing.

Many royal soldiers poured out from the direction from which the cavalry came.

"Master Gao, retreat, otherwise we will be surrounded." A wealthy general said urgently, covering his wound.

Gao Manzao was so frightened that he said "withdraw" three times and ran towards his fort.

The royal cavalry did not let go of the defeated noble soldiers. They chased them on horseback and chopped the noble soldiers off their horses one by one.

The soldiers of the wealthy clan were miserable. They lost all formation in panic and ran all over the mountains and plains.

"Your Highness, you are finally here." On the official road, Lu Chang looked at the three people riding on horseback and sat down on the ground.

After the circular formation was broken, he fought with the wealthy soldiers for a while.

When these wealthy soldiers saw Chen Hu, they were like a cat seeing a fish, and they rushed over desperately.

He and Chen Hu could only fight desperately.

"Thank you for your hard work, you will be rewarded when you return." Zhao Xu looked at Chen Hu and Lu Chang with a smile.

The two men were covered in blood and were already fighting in person, which showed that they were in a very critical situation at that time.

"If it were the Yanguan Forbidden Army, I'm afraid the whole army would be annihilated this time." Mo Yu once again marveled at the combat power of the royal family's troops.

Although Lu Chang and others were in a panic, most of the soldiers seemed to be just too tired, sitting or lying down to rest, and there were very few casualties.

Chang Wei was slightly proud.

In his opinion, this all depends on the wisdom of King Yan. King Yan said that soldiers should eat well.

Only by eating well can we withstand intense training and improve the quality of individual soldiers.

As the quality of individual soldiers improves, so does the overall combat effectiveness.

Although he had not heard a few words that King Yan said, but he did as King Yan said, and the soldiers in the palace were indeed as fierce as tigers.

However, remembering that the battle was not over yet, he said: "Your Highness, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and wipe out the Shanggu wealthy family in one fell swoop."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.

Now that the wealthy people in Shanggu are raising their troops to rebel, he naturally doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

It would be a long night and many dreams, and the wealthy family in Shanggu would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

So he said: "Chang Wei, you lead the troops to attack the four counties south of Shanggu County. Anyone who participates in the rebellion will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei accepted the order.

"Mo Yu, you lead troops to attack the four counties in the north. Anyone who participates in the rebellion will also be shot to death."

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Yu said loudly.

Zhao Xu nodded and said to Lu Chang and Chen Hu: "Gather your soldiers and follow me to Shanggu City."

Today, he will officially take over Shanggu County.

Gaojiawu Fort.

Gao Yuan is anxiously waiting for the return of his eldest son.

Waiting with him were many wealthy officials.

For them, the success of the ambush is related to the future of Upper Valley County.

"Sir, the young master is back." At this moment, the Gao family disciples on Wubao suddenly pointed to the country road.

Gao Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to open the gate of Uburg City.

Not long after, Gao Man and a group of remaining soldiers poured into Wu Bao.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan's expression suddenly changed.

"Father, the ambush has failed, King Yan's army is heading here." Gao Man dismounted and said sadly.

"What!" Gao Yuan suddenly broke out in cold sweat when he learned that the ambush failed.

"It's over, it's all over, King Yan will not let us go." The officials trembled slightly when they heard this.

At this time, fear filled his heart.
