Become a feudal king from today

Huai County.

Liu Tan stood on the hill and looked at the Xiliang army not far away.

In the past few days, he led his subordinates to move around.

Let this Xiliang reinforcements be led by their tail.

But today, the Xiliang reinforcements suddenly stopped pursuing them and chose to march south.

He guessed that the generals of the Xiliang reinforcements must have thought that they had fallen into a trap.

Put down the monocular.

Liu Tan looked back at the soldiers resting in the forest.

Now, the food bags carried by the soldiers are almost at the bottom.

Every soldier had fatigue and hunger on his face.

In order to delay Xiliang reinforcements as much as possible.

He ordered the soldiers to save enough food for ten days, but he delayed it for another three or four days.

But he knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer.

Otherwise, more soldiers will be left behind.

"Retreat to Hengshan County." Liu Tan ordered, and his task had been overfulfilled.

I only hope that King Yan can successfully capture Xincheng at this moment.

now.

In the Xiliang army, Geely sat on his horse with a gloomy expression.

After driving around Huaicheng for a few days, he realized that this was not King Yan's army at all.

First of all, this army marches too fast and often withdraws immediately before they arrive.

Secondly, he did not see any pits left by the stove.

This shows that this army has no intention of attacking the city at all.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make rice without burying the pot.

After all, it is difficult to capture the city in just a few days.

Just bringing your own dry food to attack the city is a way to death.

In the end, this army was originally going to attack Huaicheng, but then suddenly went to pass the customs.

After they arrived near Tongguan, the army circled back to Huai City.

They rushed back to Huaicheng, and the army appeared near Yingxian again.

This is obviously treating them like monkeys.

There is no doubt that in his opinion, this must be a strategy to attack the east and attack the west. ‘

The current army of King Yan must have been attacking Xincheng and Jincheng.

"Xincheng only has more than 6,000 defenders, and now I'm afraid it has fallen into the hands of King Yan." Thinking of this, Ji Li's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Then he thought of Jincheng.

Murong Wuji is now in Jincheng.

If King Yan attacks Jincheng, Murong Wuji may not be able to escape.

The most important thing is that once Jincheng is lost, their emperor Murong Hao will not let them go.

When they return to Xiliang, they are afraid that they will be in prison for the rest of their lives.

"We must travel day and night to rush back to Jincheng. We will never let King Yan's plan succeed." Ji Li said to the general beside him: "Speed ​​up the march immediately."

After a day and a half, they were still sixty miles away from Jin County, when they met Xiliang scouts who came to convey military information.

"Xincheng was captured by the King of Yan. The army of the King of Yan is currently besieging Jincheng. Please lead the deputy leader to rush for reinforcements and attack from both sides to defeat the King of Yan."

After hearing what the scout said, Ji Li's heart skipped a beat.

He got it all right.

"Rush to Jincheng immediately without delay." Ji Li said.

Hearing this, a general said: "Deputy leader, the soldiers have been marching for days and are very tired. The general thought that we should rest for a day to build up our strength before marching again."

"By the time you get some rest, I'm afraid Jincheng will have fallen into the hands of King Yan." Ji Li said angrily, "It's not too late to get to Jincheng and rest."

After hearing this, the general stopped talking, sighed slightly and went back.

…

Jincheng.

At this moment, the sound of cannons was booming.

After resting briefly in Xincheng for half a day, he and Chang Wei led the troops to Jincheng.

After arriving, they found that Jincheng was heavily guarded.

So he ordered his soldiers to set up camp, and at the same time ordered artillery to continuously bombard the northern city gate.

Reinforcements must be fought, and Jincheng must be captured.

Therefore, the shelling was also preparation for the subsequent attack on Jincheng.

This Jincheng city has high walls and thick walls, so a hard attack will inevitably result in many casualties.

So he planned to use artillery to seize a point on the city wall and bombard it continuously.

As the saying goes, it takes time to grind an iron pestle into a needle.

Although it may not be possible to destroy this section of the city wall in a day or two.

But as long as you persist, you will always succeed.

After all, during the contemporary Ming and Qing wars, many city walls were destroyed.

At the same time, he sent detective horses to investigate northward to monitor the movements of Xiliang reinforcements at any time.

Once the Xiliang reinforcements enter Jin County, they will be ready.

"Your Highness, the Ma family's army is currently in Linjun, about 200 miles away from Jincheng. After conquering three counties, it is now besieging Lincheng. There are 30,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses in Lincheng." Zhao Xu was looking at the artillerymen. Bombard the city walls.

At this time, a detective came to report.

After entering Jinzhou, he asked Chang Wei to send detective horses to understand the Ma family's movements.

"There are more than 30,000 people in Lincheng? So there are fewer soldiers and horses in Jincheng than we thought. No wonder Murong Wuji didn't dare to go to war." Zhao Xu murmured.

"The war has been going on for a month now, and it's not too slow for them to reach Lincheng." Chang Wei pondered.

Zhao Xu nodded.

The Xiliang soldiers and horses are mainly concentrated in the central and northern parts of Jinzhou, while the southern part has few troops.

But even so, the Ma family would definitely not be able to move as quickly as his royal soldiers.

But just because the Ma family was playing pretty well, he felt a little abnormal.

Or is the Ma family sincerely attacking Xiliang with him from both sides this time?

After pondering for a while, he put the matter out of his mind.

At the moment, it is better to capture the Xiliang reinforcements.

now.

Murong Wuji in Jincheng looked anxious as he listened to the loud noises.

Before, he had only heard a lot of rumors about artillery.

In the past two days, King Yan's soldiers and horses used artillery, and he saw the true power of artillery.

With one shot, the wall stacks on the Jincheng city wall shattered.

It was even more terrible for the soldiers to be hit directly.

He originally wanted to close the city and order the soldiers and horses of King Yan to attack the city, and rely on the strength of Jincheng to consume King Yan's soldiers and horses.

Unexpectedly, in the past two days, King Yan's soldiers and horses only besieged the city, but did not attack it.

They just bombarded the city wall of the north gate with artillery day and night.

He wanted to go out and fight.

But King Yan's artillery was facing the city gate, and going out would be like seeking death.

What's more, there are actually only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city at the moment.

Now, he could only stay in Jincheng, listening to the sound of King Yan's artillery, unable to do anything.

I can only hope that Ji Li can come back soon and attack King Yan's army from behind.

He fought out of the city and defeated King Yan's troops.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Then he suddenly thought of the Ma family.

Two days ago, the Ma family's 100,000 troops arrived in Lincheng.

He immediately ordered the Lincheng garrison to send someone to meet with the Ma family.

Since Ma's family entered Jinzhou, he has taken the initiative to ask the guards of several counties to retreat after a short period of fighting.

The Ma family also fulfilled their promise and deliberately let the Xiliang soldiers in the city retreat.

Now that Jincheng is in crisis, he only hopes that the Ma family will get the news that Jincheng is besieged and find a way to relieve the crisis in Jincheng.

Or let the 30,000 defenders of Lincheng go to Jincheng, or other strategies.

However, at the same time, he was a little worried.

If the Ma family sees that the situation is not right, they will definitely regret it.

This time Xiliang was completely defeated in Jinzhou.
