Become a feudal king from today

Hengshan County.

In the clear morning light, a long team appeared outside the city.

But the team moved very slowly, and the soldiers moved forward with difficulty.

Many people supported each other, and from a distance, they looked like a defeated general.

They are Liu Tan and his soldiers.

Many days of high-intensity marching exhausted their physical strength.

The remaining rations were not enough to maintain the energy just before departure.

So this time they walked the same distance for nearly three days before returning to Hengshan County.

"Open the city gate quickly!" Bai Shang shouted.

This time he was left to guard Hengshan County, and was also responsible for arranging the grain and grass baggage shipped from Feihu Pass.

Before Liu Tan arrived, Tan Ma had already passed the news to him.

So as soon as Liu Tan arrived, he immediately went out to greet him.

When he came closer, he looked at the palace soldiers with chapped lips and worn-out boots, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.

After grabbing Liu Tan's hand, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Tan just laughed twice and said, "The general has lived up to His Highness's expectations this time. This horse meat is not in vain."

Bai Shang laughed, "Yes, it was not in vain. If it weren't for you, Xincheng would not have been captured so smoothly. Next, His Highness will definitely beat the people of Xiliang to pieces."

Liu Tan nodded, licked his chapped lips, and said, "The Xiliang reinforcements withdrew from Huaicheng on the same day as us, and are now expected to enter Jin County. Your Highness must be informed of this news."

"You should have a big meal now and rest. You don't need to worry about the rest. Tanma will definitely pass the news to His Highness."

…

Jincheng.

After Zhao Xu continued to besiege the city for another day and a half, he received news that the detective horses had returned.

Ninety thousand Xiliang troops entered Jinjun and were marching towards Jincheng day and night.

It is expected to arrive early the next morning.

"It seems they have seen through our plan." Chang Wei said after hearing this.

Zhao Xu nodded lightly.

Counting the days, half a month has passed.

It was normal for Xiliang's army to come back when they realized something was wrong.

"Now that you're back, follow the plan." Zhao Xu sneered.

This time he only left two thousand defenders in Xincheng, and most of them were brought over.

At the same time, five thousand soldiers were transferred from Hengshan County.

Because they are now on the offensive, there is no need to heavily defend the city.

The extracted troops will participate in the ambush of the 90,000 Xiliang army.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei clasped his fists heavily.

There was unconcealable excitement on his face.

After pondering for a while, he said: "According to Tan Ma's opinion, this Xiliang army seems to be marching continuously in order to understand the location of Jincheng. It must be that the men and horses are exhausted. If they continue to march tonight, we will ambush thirty miles north and wait for the arrival of the morning. Attack, if they rest tonight, we will march all night to reach them and attack while they are sleeping."

This was discussed by everyone, and Zhao Xu had no objection. He said: "But in order to prevent the troops and horses in Jincheng from cooperating with the outside world, it is best to leave four thousand troops and cooperate with the artillery to block the four city gates to avoid accidents."

Chang Wei should be.

In the evening, Tan Ma sent back the news again.

The Xiliang army only rested briefly and then continued marching.

Chang Wei immediately decided to adopt the first strategy.

When night fell and darkness covered all traces, he immediately ordered the army to evacuate from Jincheng and go to Lijiazhuang, thirty miles away, to ambush.

This village has long been burned down by Xiliang soldiers, and it is surrounded by deserted villages.

The terrain around Lijiazhuang is flat and there are barren fields as far as the eye can see. Only the official road passes through here.

However, there are dense peach trees growing on both sides of the official road.

At this time, the peach trees were growing new leaves, enough to provide cover for some soldiers.

Only other soldiers will be distributed in the shape of a pocket.

Ambush somewhere far away from the official road.

When the war started, they tightened their pockets.

After withdrawing from Jincheng, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei arrived here after an hour's trek.

This time they ambush Xiliang's 90,000-strong army. They will no longer hold back. Instead, they will devote their fusiliers to this battle to ensure the smooth annihilation of Xiliang's reinforcements.

Therefore, after arriving at Lijiazhuang, Chang Wei summoned the generals to recheck the cooperation matters.

Yiyi waited all night, but the reinforcements from Xiliang did not appear in time the next morning.

The Xiliang soldiers seemed to be extremely exhausted from marching for days and were walking slower and slower.

Upon discovering this, Chang Wei and the generals were even more confident.

It was almost noon.

The Xiliang reinforcements finally appeared on the north side of the official road.

The Xiliang cavalry walked in the front, and the infantry followed.

The queue of 90,000 people was very long and stretched far away.

While the team was marching, Xiliang scouts went to Jincheng to find out the news.

However, when they heard the rumble of cannons and there were soldiers in front of the camp, they thought it was the same as before, so they sent the news back.

In the Xiliang army, Ji Li learned that King Yan's army was still attacking Jincheng and ordered the march again.

Of course he knew that after days of marching, the soldiers were exhausted.

But as long as the siege of Jincheng can be solved, it is worth it even if more soldiers die.

Not long after, more than half of the Xiliang army passed through the peach forest.

At this time, suddenly there was a burst of uniform shouts of killing in the peach forests on both sides.

Prince's soldiers wearing plate armor and holding swords suddenly shot out from the peach groves on both sides.

The Xiliang soldiers were shocked, and then they drew their swords and faced him.

How could they, who were exhausted, resist the energetic palace soldiers?

As soon as they met, the weapons in the soldiers' hands clashed, and the weapons in the hands of some Xiliang soldiers were immediately knocked off.

Before they could recover, they were chopped down to the ground by the royal soldiers.

The soldiers from the royal palace who followed continued to rush into the ranks of the Xiliang Army and fight.

Soon, the Xiliang soldiers were cut off in the middle.

Some of the soldiers from the royal palace were fighting to the north, and some were fighting to the south.

Their mission is to divide the Xiliang army into two halves, so that the head and tail cannot see each other.

Geely's heart sank when he was suddenly attacked.

Judging from the armor of the attacking soldiers, these were King Yan's soldiers again.

Apparently, King Yan's soldiers and horses ambushed them.

But at this moment, he couldn't think about how King Yan's soldiers and horses appeared here.

He immediately ordered the Xiliang soldiers in front to attack the center of the army.

At the same time, the Xiliang cavalry turned their horses and rushed towards the fighting royal soldiers.

At the same time as the killing sound of Taolin rang out, the prince's servants who were ambushing outside Taolin started to move.

Five hundred fusiliers formed a square formation on both sides of the official road to the north and south.

In the square formation, the outermost circle is composed of spearmen, and in the middle are three rows of fusiliers.

The distance between each square array is about thirty meters.

At this time, these phalanxes moved across the plain, tightening like a chain.

At the same time, Zhongli's light cavalry and Chen Hu's heavy cavalry made preparations.

At the same time, there is a reserve team of 10,000 people at any time for emergency response.
