Become a feudal king from today

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Xiliang cavalry galloped around Hengshan County.

There were constant shouts of defiance coming from his mouth.

Some Xiliang cavalrymen stood on their horses and urinated on Hengshan County, making extremely insulting gestures.

"Damn it." Zhongli's eyes burned with anger when he saw the Xiliang cavalry being so arrogant on the city wall.

Only three days after Hengshan County was captured, these Xiliang cavalry came.

After searching around the county town to no avail, we came to Hengshan County.

"Your Highness, let the general go out to meet them and see who is the real cavalry." Zhongli cupped his fists and asked for orders.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "If you go out, you will fall into their trick of provoking generals."

In his opinion, this Xiliang light cavalry relied on its superb riding skills to lure his cavalry into battle and thereby defeat his cavalry.

To regain some ground in the matter of losing Hengshan County.

But he is very thick-skinned and will not pay attention to them.

After all, the royal cavalry is very valuable and should be used at critical moments rather than sacrificed casually.

"Why do you need to go out to fight and blast the hell with artillery?" Chang Wei and Zhao Xu looked at each other, both showing sinister smiles.

After occupying the county seat, the artillerymen dismantled some large-caliber artillery and transported them to the city wall.

The purpose was to prevent Xiliang from becoming angry and sending troops to attack Hengshan County.

Now, these Xiliang cavalry are three hundred meters outside the city.

Just looking for a fight.

Chang Wei then called the artillery generals and gave them orders.

For a moment, as "boom, boom, boom" came from a distance, the sound of cannons was heard on all four walls.

The artillery shells flew towards the Xiliang cavalry army like meteors.

A Xiliang cavalry horse was hit in the leg. He immediately knelt on the ground and threw the Xiliang cavalry above him off.

There were also Xiliang cavalry who were directly hit by artillery shells, and they fell to the ground after five or six consecutive hits.

After falling, his flesh and blood were bruised, and the armor was deeply dented in the area hit by the shell.

The sudden shelling shocked the Xiliang cavalry.

They no longer cared about provocation, slapped their horses and fled away.

The effective killing range of Wangfu artillery is within 1,500 meters.

The artillery chased the Xiliang cavalry and fired continuously.

Bodies of Xiliang cavalry were constantly left on the fleeing path.

When the Xiliang cavalry disappeared, Zhao Xu said to Zhongli, "I'll leave the rest to you. Keep the good horses for use, and drag back the injured or dead ones to kill the meat for the soldiers to eat."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhongli responded excitedly.

At this time, there were Xiliang soldiers who fell to the ground and were not dead, and there were also Xiliang soldiers who were running on two legs after their horses were hit.

Zhongli's cavalry went out from the city gate and quickly swept away these Xiliang cavalry.

At the same time, the wounded and injured horses were dragged back into the city.

The generals watched the excitement, followed Zhao Xu, and came down from the city wall with smiles.

They could eat horse meat again.

During the Autumn Hunting of Beidi and the Battle of Yanzhou, there were many injured horses of the enemy.

These horses were eventually killed as meat for the soldiers as a reward.

If there is still more, it is dried and the soldiers are often given a little more during training.

Otherwise, the soldiers would not be able to maintain their usual high-intensity training.

evening.

The smell of meat is fragrant in Hengshan County, and dozens of large pots are set up in the camp.

The broth in the pot was boiling and steaming.

However, due to the large number of soldiers, there were more than a hundred dead horses dragged back, and the injured horses were still not enough to eat.

Zhao Xu could only let most of the soldiers drink broth.

But the meat was left to the soldiers led by Liu Tan.

"In this attack from the east to the west, the most important task is you and the soldiers under your command. Huaicheng is three hundred miles away from here. I give you one and a half days of marching time to arrive." Zhao Xu said.

In the battle to capture Luding Bridge, the Red Army marched 240 kilometers day and night. This was the pinnacle of light infantry.

The soldiers of the royal palace need to wear armor and march with heavy loads, so naturally they can't do it because they have to wear scale armor.

After all, if they encounter the Xiliang army, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties without armor.

Therefore, he gave Liu Tan one and a half days.

Arriving at Huaicheng, they set up camp and pretended to attack the city, triggering the mobilization of the Xiliang army.

Liu Tan nodded heavily. Since he had accepted this task, he had to complete it even if he risked his life.

Zhao Xu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Give all the horse meat to Liu Tan's soldiers. When you are full, we will set off tonight."

The other generals had no objections to this.

They will stay in Hengshan County and wait for Liu Tan to make any noise, waiting for the opportunity to make a move.

After receiving the order, they led their soldiers to fish out the horse meat and personally delivered it to Liu Tan's soldiers.

An hour later, the sky gradually darkened.

After eating, Liu Tan and his soldiers gathered at the north gate.

In order to realize the urgent march this time, the soldiers heading to Huaicheng only carried enough fried noodles for ten days.

Apart from armor and weapons, he does not carry any baggage and travels lightly.

After arriving at Huaicheng, they will try their best to drag the Xiliang reinforcements near Huaicheng.

Buy time for Hengshan County's main force to attack Xincheng.

As the night grew darker, Liu Tan bowed to Zhao Xu and turned to leave.

Soon, their figures disappeared into the night.

At this time, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei, "You are also ready to march to Xincheng at night at any time."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded.

The next day.

After a night's march, Liu Tan's army appeared near Ying County.

That night, they traveled more than a hundred miles.

When it was daylight, he ordered the soldiers to space apart and deliberately raise the dust on the official road when walking.

Under the cover of dust, the team of 10,000 people seemed to be marching by 70,000 to 80,000 people.

Their appearance was quickly discovered by the Xiliang soldiers in Ying County.

However, they found that this army had no intention of attacking Ying County.

Instead, they bypassed Ying County and continued to the northwest.

The Ying county guard suddenly realized that they seemed to be going to attack Huaicheng.

He immediately sent people to Jincheng to report back to Murong Wuji.

While Liu Tan was marching, he constantly sent cavalry to investigate.

When they encountered woods, they asked the soldiers to rest in the woods, eat fried noodles and sleep for a while, and then continued the march.

A day and a half later, they arrived near Huai City.

Cut down trees twenty miles outside Huai City, build ladders, and set up camp.

The soldiers and horses of King Yan suddenly appeared in the northwest of Jinzhou.

This caught the Xiliang generals in the northwest cities by surprise.

King Yan's soldiers and horses arrived too quickly, giving them no time to react.

They hurriedly sent people to Jincheng to ask for help.

Two days after Liu Tan arrived in Huaicheng, the cavalry from Ying County arrived.

I learned that King Yan's army appeared in Huaicheng.

Murong Wuji was shocked. To the north of Huaicheng was Tongguan.

If Tongguan is lost, Xiliang soldiers will not be able to march south from the north to Jinzhou, and Beidi will not be able to come to support.

"This King Yan is too cunning. He immediately dispatched an army to Huaicheng. Tongguan must not be captured by King Yan!" Murong Wuji was furious!
