Become a feudal king from today

The next morning.

The bastion gates were wide open.

A thousand heavy infantrymen wearing plate armor, holding a shield in their left hand and a long sword in their right hand marched neatly to the open ground in front of the bastion and lined up. Behind these heavy infantrymen were a thousand fusiliers.

At this time, every soldier looked serious. They had fought with the Xiliang soldiers, but this was their first time fighting in the wild with the Beidi people.

For a long time, the Beidi people had a bad reputation in Yanzhou, which inevitably made them nervous. However, thinking of the solid fortress behind them, they relaxed and felt a sense of fighting spirit in their chests.

The strange movements of the soldiers in the palace were quickly learned by the Beidi people. Enke immediately summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures. He said: "The soldiers of King Yan in the cold castle have been guarding behind closed doors. Now they are suddenly fighting. I'm afraid there are ghosts."

After hearing this, Gordan said: "Your Majesty, King Yan has always been cunning. Now he only uses two thousand infantry to form a battle formation. We must be on guard."

Another Wolf Lu pondered for a while and said, "Did they bury ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides and deliberately use these soldiers as bait?"

"It makes sense. Now you immediately send out scouts to search the mountains and forests." Enke nodded, "Also, gather the soldiers immediately. King Yan's soldiers are hiding in this fortress. We have no choice, but they are too weak to fight with us in the field. Nen, if there is no ambush, we will give King Yan's soldiers a little show this time, and prepare the artillery. "

In the past few days, they had lost almost 20,000 servants.

In order to maintain the strength of 30,000 troops, he continued to mobilize troops from the king's tent. Today, two wolves led 20,000 soldiers just arrived.

Gordan agreed and walked out of the tent with a few wolves.

Then, several groups of Beidi soldiers entered the forest on both sides of the mountain road and searched in both directions.

On the wall of the bastion, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei observed the movements of the Beidi camp through telescopes.

Chang Wei said: "Beidi soldiers have gathered, but they have no intention of attacking for the time being. They seem to suspect fraud."

Zhao Xu nodded. He saw Beidi soldiers entering the mountains and forests on both sides. "Wait a while, they will fight."

This is why he asked Chang Wei to find a guide and take a roundabout way to Qingfeng Mountain through the trails in the mountains.

Both sides of the mountain road are now under the control of the Black Iron King's Tent, making them easily discovered.

"Your Majesty, we have searched the mountains and forests and found no soldiers." Half an hour later, a scout ran over quickly and said to Enke.

"There is no ambush? The soldiers of King Yan are really arrogant. Do they think they can beat my Beidi soldiers head-on?" Enke sneered again and again and said to Gordan, "Since there is no ambush, now you lead the troops to attack!"

"Yes!" Gordan took the order and left.

After a while, he came to the open land. In order not to be discovered, he hid in the woods and gave orders.

Immediately, a servant army of a thousand people rushed out of the woods and went straight towards the royal soldiers arrayed in the city.

"Kill!" Beidi's servants shouted.

Seeing this scene, the royal generals in front of the bastion remained calm. They ordered the heavy infantry to withdraw behind the fusiliers, preparing for the fusiliers to directly meet the enemy.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei also stared at the battlefield.

He asked the fusiliers to go into battle for two purposes. The first was to take the initiative to fight and expedite the consumption of the troops in the Black Iron King's tent. The second was to test how well the fusiliers equipped with bayonets could perform in the hands of the soldiers. power.

The heavy infantry is to cover the fusiliers' evacuation in time when unexpected situations arise.

"Bang bang bang..."

The familiar firelight and white smoke rose on the battlefield, almost making the fusiliers seem to be covered by heavy fog.

Amidst the gunfire, the Beidi soldiers who rushed over fell down one after another.

"Bang bang bang..." Then, within two or three breaths, another burst of gunfire rang out, and then the third gunshot.

After six consecutive rounds of fighting, the Beidi soldiers left corpses on the ground, and only more than a hundred people rushed to the fusiliers.

At this time, the Beidi soldiers raised their scimitars.

"prick!"

The fusiliers in scale armor did not panic; their flintlocks were all equipped with bayonets.

Facing the scimitar that the Beidi soldiers slashed at them, they just picked it up and flew the scimitar away. Then they roared and shot out like sharp arrows. They raised their flintlocks and stabbed the Beidi soldiers in front of them. .

The Beidi soldiers were unable to dodge and fell into a pool of blood.

More than a hundred Beidi soldiers fell in less than a quarter of an hour.

When Gordan in the woods saw this scene, his heart suddenly jumped. He finally understood why King Yan dared to take the initiative to fight.

It turned out to be a stick-like firearm.

They had heard about this kind of firearm, and King Temuta had encountered it when he was in the same pass.

"Pull the artillery over here!" Gordan's eyes narrowed. He knew very well that continuing to let the soldiers charge would only lead to death in vain.

The general received the order and immediately ran back.

Not long ago, six artillery pieces came towards the mountain pass under the cover of Beidi soldiers.

In order to hide these artillery pieces and attack the royal soldiers unexpectedly, General Beidi ordered his servants to march in front of the artillery pieces, cover the artillery pieces, and cover the artillery pieces with branches.

It's just that their little moves couldn't be hidden from Zhao Xu and Chang Wei on the bastion.

Through the telescope, they could clearly see the trajectory of the artillery wheels on the mountain road. This could not be concealed from the two people who were familiar with artillery.

"Kill their artillery!" Zhao Xu said.

The Beidi people obviously wanted to pull the artillery to the open ground and launch a surprise bombardment. He would not give them this chance.

After receiving their orders, the gunners on the city wall aimed their artillery at the advancing Beidi artillery.

"Boom boom boom!"

Amidst the huge roar, the artillery on the bastion spit out flames, and the shells flew towards Beidi's artillery.

"clang……"

A shell hit the covered bronze cannon, making a sound like a bell.

The wheels of the Beidi artillery could not hold up under the huge force, and it immediately fell to the ground. The artillery also rolled out from the branches, revealing its true appearance.

"ah……"

At the same time, some Beidi soldiers were hit by artillery shells and were beaten to a bloody pulp.

"Boom boom boom..."

The artillery continued to fire, and the shells fell into the team pulling the artillery. The actions of the Beidi soldiers could only be stopped under the shelling.

On the bastion, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei both had smiles on their lips.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the woods.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei are very familiar with this loud noise.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Chang Wei, with quick eyes and quick hands, immediately pounced on Zhao Xu. At this moment, a cannonball flew over Zhao Xu's head.

Then several cannonballs hit the city wall again, making a loud "dong-dong" sound.

On the mountain road five hundred meters away from the bastion, Enke had a sneer on his lips.

King Yan's bastion was high and could be seen from miles away, making it easier for them to bombard.

When Gordan sent generals to pull the artillery, he also learned about the battle ahead. At this time, he finally decided to use the artillery.

However, in response to Gordan's request, he only gave six artillery pieces.

He knew that these cannons were likely to be attacked by King Yan's soldiers, so after the cannons were pulled away, he ordered the gunners to remove the branches from the cannons and prepare to bombard King Yan's fortress at any time.

When he heard the sound of cannon on the city wall, he immediately ordered the bombardment.

"King Yan, it's time for you to have a taste of our Beidi artillery." Enke laughed.

However, his smile soon stopped.
