Become a feudal king from today

Yanguan.

Zhongli protected Zhao Heng while heading towards Qinguan.

Zhao Xu has officially taken the final step of this east-west linkage plan.

After Chang Wei returned, he took a brief rest.

On this day, he ordered the Yanguan army to leave the city.

Formed a formation outside the city to confront the Beidi camp.

The same tactics were used when attacking the Black Iron King's tent.

This time, they also used chariots to form a formation and move towards the Beidi camp.

Zhao Xu did not go into battle with the army, but stood on the city wall and looked at the battlefield with a telescope.

Seeing Yan Guan opening the city gate, soldiers filed out.

There was immediate movement in the Beidi camp.

The cavalry poured out of the camp like a tide.

The light cavalry came towards the vehicle formation in two directions: left and right.

However, these light cavalry did not seem to have any intention of attacking the car formation.

Seemingly just to harass the chariot formation, they ran within a hundred meters, fired a round of bows and arrows at the chariots, and then ran away.

Then he came over to harass him again.

But at such a distance, Beidi's arrows had almost no impact on the car formation.

The car formation continued to move forward.

Seeing this, some Beidi cavalry seemed to be trying to get within fifty meters.

At this time, the fusiliers moved from the inside of the vehicle formation to the outside and lined up to shoot.

The Beidi cavalry suddenly fell off their horses.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu showed a smile on his lips.

The combination of chariots and fusiliers is quite similar to contemporary infantry-tank synergy.

While the chariot protects the soldiers, the soldiers also protect the chariot.

When Zhao Xu was observing the battlefield.

Ram was ordering the soldiers in the camp to break up and head towards Ningcheng.

When more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the King of Yan came out of Yan Pass, he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

King Yan sent soldiers to attack Ningjin Dusi, and then sent a large army to confront him.

This is the intention to take back Ningjin Dusi.

At the moment, only his royal account was facing off against King Yan.

If Dasong's other soldiers were here, he would have the confidence to fight with them.

But the Black Iron King's tent had suffered a loss at the hands of King Yan's chariot formation just now, and he did not want to make the same mistake again.

Moreover, he knew very well that Beidi's advantage lay in bows and horses.

In a deadly battle with King Yan's chariot formation, there is no doubt that they will lose the mobility of the cavalry.

Use your own shortcomings to exploit King Yan's strengths.

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision.

Let the cavalry attack and block the chariot formation from advancing towards the camp.

And he planned to withdraw to Ningcheng and lure King Yan to go deep alone.

Once the King of Yan pursued him, he took advantage of the Beidi cavalry and competed with the King of Yan's cavalry for the food route.

When the time comes, he wants to see how King Yan's soldiers and horses respond.

"Humph, King Yan, if you can, let your people come over." Ram sneered, turned and left.

On the city wall.

Zhao Xu noticed the movements of the Beidi camp and saw the Beidi camp breaking up and heading north.

His expression remained calm.

This was within his expectation, unless the King of Beidi in the opposite camp was a fool.

Otherwise, I won’t fight with him.

Keeping him lured deeper is the right decision.

However, how could he really put his troops in danger?

This time he was just creating pressure on Beidi.

Lamu just needs to send the news of his troops leaving Yan Pass to Muller Hongzhen.

Therefore, next, he would march his troops slowly, covering several miles a day, then stop and rest for a day or two, and then continue north.

But this distance will not exceed the safety line in his heart.

…

Qinguan.

While Zhao Xu was pretending to attack Ningjindusi, Zhongli and his party were still running for the road.

After two days of trekking.

At noon on the third day, Zhongli and his party arrived at the foot of Qin Pass.

At this time, many cavalrymen only had one horse left.

Looking at the majestic Qin Pass, Zhongli and many soldiers had wet eyes.

They finally completed the mission assigned by King Yan and returned successfully.

"Sizhou Mumahan meets the Emperor."

As soon as Zhongli and his party entered, Ma Han came over.

In the past few days, he often came to the top of Qinguan City to look eastward, hoping that Zhongli and the others would return smoothly.

But even so, in his heart, he didn't have much hope for Zhongli's trip.

Now that Zhongli had returned and successfully rescued the emperor, he was quite shocked.

"Hahaha...no courtesy." Zhao Heng laughed loudly, not as embarrassed as he was in Xiancheng.

At this moment, he seemed to be Emperor Dasong again, sitting on the dragon throne in Jinling City.

Then he said: "I have traveled a long distance these past two days and am a little tired. Please prepare your retreat and prepare some food and wine."

In Xiancheng, he couldn't eat well or sleep well. In the past two days, he was jostled on a horse and ate the fried noodles carried by King Yan's soldiers.

Ma Han heard the words and said yes.

The second prince also breathed a sigh of relief because he was out of danger.

He straightened his chest and raised his head, regaining the dignity of a prince.

But his service to ordinary people made the generals of the Ma family feel disdainful.

There is no doubt that the second prince wants to pretend to be a commoner and get through.

Zhao Heng noticed General Ma Han's expression, glanced at the second prince, and snorted softly, "Why don't you take off your clothes? It's embarrassing."

The second prince only remembered it at this moment and was greatly embarrassed.

A little embarrassed, he thought to himself, you, the emperor, are not much better.

Wasn't it so scary that you almost wet your pants when you were in Xiancheng?

He said this in his heart but did not dare to show it.

He could only say yes, and went away in despair, asking Ma Han to prepare some clothes for him.

Rested for a day at Qinguan.

Zhao Heng asked Ma Han to prepare a temporary luan chariot for him to drive in Yancheng.

"Father, I still think it's better to go back to Jinling directly, why go to King Yan's fiefdom again." Knowing that Zhao Heng really wanted to go to Yancheng, the second prince kept trying to dissuade him.

He doesn't want to go to Yancheng at all.

The Northern Expedition was a complete defeat, but King Yan managed to turn the tide and achieve such miraculous achievements.

He didn't want to see King Yan's proud face.

Furthermore, he and the Sixth Prince bullied King Yan the most when they were in the capital.

He was worried that Zhao Xu would take the opportunity to retaliate against him.

After all, his formerly cowardly ninth brother was now very courageous.

"Hmph, if you hadn't disturbed my heart during this Northern Expedition, how could I have suffered such a defeat? When I return to the capital, I will argue with you about this debt." Zhao Heng snorted angrily after hearing this.

Then he said: "The war in the Northern Expedition is not over yet. Now I have escaped back to Jinling. How do people in the world view me? Furthermore, King Yan traveled thousands of miles to save me. I can reach his territory in two or three days' journey without going there." , wouldn’t it chill him?”

In fact, he had other concerns in mind.

This war in the northwest was so intense that he even blushed.

When it came to Yanzhou, he also had the idea of ​​taking credit.

Now he is on a personal expedition, and Yanzhou is also a battlefield. After he has gone, part of the credit will naturally fall on him.

If King Yan can break the siege of Xiancheng again, the defeat in the Northern Expedition will not be too ugly.

The second prince's mind was now occupied with meeting Jinling, so he naturally did not consider this.

Hearing this, he had no choice but to shut up.

The next day.

Under the protection of Zhongli and the Ma family's soldiers and horses, Zhao Heng's Luan Jia headed toward Yancheng in a mighty manner.

Because Luan Jia was walking slowly, it took more than five days for the team to reach Yancheng.
