Become a feudal king from today

"Set off!"

At the East Pier of Juhua Island, Chang Wei issued an order.

After a day of preparation, the soldiers were ready to go to the battlefield.

After all 60,000 royal troops boarded the ship, he ordered to go to Lian County in Ningzhou.

After half a day's sailing, the fleet arrived in the eastern waters of Lian County.

The sun has not yet set at this time, and the sunset dyes the sea brilliant red.

Standing on the side of the ship, Chang Wei looked at Lianxian Beach through the telescope.

This position was not picked randomly by him, but was detected by the Propaganda Department last time when they distributed leaflets to Ningjin Dusi.

Although there is no dock in Lian County, the beach is flat and suitable for soldiers to gather here.

"The real battle is finally about to begin." Zhou Yi stood beside Chang Wei. He did not use a telescope to look out, but looked far into the distance, taking in the entire coast.

He was born in Ningcheng and spent his entire childhood in Ningcheng.

Now he can still recall the Wuliang Temple in Ningcheng and the huge ginkgo tree in front of it.

Now, the royal army is about to launch an attack on Ningcheng.

Naturally, he was excited. After all, his family's house was in Ningcheng, and he wanted to go back and see it again.

Chang Wei looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

For more than ten years, no one in Dasong has expected to take back this homeland.

But now, under the leadership of King Yan, they will try to expel the Beidi people from here for the first time.

"Yes." Chang Wei took a deep breath and spit it out, "When it gets dark, let the soldiers land on the beach."

After that, he turned to Qinshan, passed the pass, and waited for the generals. "As soon as the first batch of soldiers arrive at the beach, they will march towards Ningcheng without delay. Gather eight thousand people and you can launch an attack on Ningcheng."

It will take a long time to wait for all the soldiers to land.

Soldiers are very fast on the battlefield, which will undoubtedly delay time.

Therefore, while all the Beidi soldiers' attention is attracted by Yanguan, they must attack quickly and capture Ningcheng.

When they react, turn around and attack them.

Sixty thousand people are enough to reach Ningcheng.

"Yes, General!" Qin Shan, Guan Tong and others responded.

For them, this task is not difficult.

The hot-air balloon soldiers of the royal family have been conducting reconnaissance on Ningcheng.

According to their reports, Ningcheng is currently guarded by only about 10,000 people.

Each city gate had less than 3,000 troops.

There were only sixty cannons on the four walls, and only fifteen on each wall.

If the raid could be successful at night, these artillery pieces would not pose a threat.

What's more, they also carry mortars and the lightest six-pound field cannon.

It is enough to suppress the Beidi artillery.

After giving the order, Chang Wei asked the generals to repeat the steps of the attack before letting them go back to prepare.

In this war, he will not accompany the army either.

Because next, he would have to adjust his strategy based on the movements of Beidi soldiers and horses in Jincheng.

An hour passed and the sky turned completely dark.

At this time, the battleship put two transport boats of different sizes into the sea.

The smaller ones are naturally used to transport troops, while the larger ones are specially used to transport artillery and mortars.

At the same time, some small commercial boats rowed directly to the beach.

Their boats are in shallow water, so they don't have to worry about running aground.

When they arrived at the beach, the soldiers jumped directly from the merchant ship and stepped ashore in water that was up to their knees.

Under the leadership of the general, they did not stop, and after gathering, they headed towards Ningcheng.

At this moment, there was only a narrow crescent moon in the sky, and the dim light made the darkness of the night a little lighter.

By the dim light, the soldiers found their way and marched at a trot.

Qin Shan followed the army.

In order to capture Ningcheng as soon as possible, the first batch of soldiers going to Ningcheng were all required to take off their armor and carry only guns, ammunition and dry food.

Perhaps this would expose them to more casualties.

But if Ningcheng cannot be captured on time, it will lead to the failure of the entire strategy.

At that time, the royal army will sacrifice more soldiers.

After marching for two and a half hours, at midnight, Qin Shan saw a huge black shadow lingering on the ground.

There was still a little bit of firelight on the black shadow.

There was no doubt that they had arrived at the foot of Ning Cheng.

Along the way, they did not encounter Beidi soldiers.

Obviously, the Beidi people were still immersed in the fantasy that Yanzhou was destroyed by the plague, and firmly believed that Yanzhou was basically finished.

Therefore, they devoted all their energy to Yanguan and gave up on guarding the coastline.

Inferring from this, he believed that the Beidi soldiers in Ningcheng must be very lax at this moment.

"Did the artillery keep up?" Qin Shan asked breathlessly when he saw that Ningcheng was only four or five miles away.

The soldiers were lightly armed and walked quickly.

But the artillerymen dragging the artillery forward will not be so relaxed.

"Go back to the general, they are at the back of the team." the general said.

This time they were accompanied by twenty mortars and eight field guns.

The mortar is light and can be carried by soldiers who are constantly changing.

But even a six-pound field gun weighed as much as four people.

Although soldiers were sent to take turns pulling them away, they stopped and waited several times before the artillery could barely keep up.

Otherwise, it would only take more than an hour for them to reach Ningcheng.

After all, the five-kilometer cross-country is a training project that every soldier of the royal palace must pass.

Qin Shan nodded when he heard this.

With the artillery at the end of the team, he felt at ease.

In this way, when he arranged it, the artillery would rush over.

In another two-quarters of an hour, Qin Shan arrived outside Ningcheng.

As he expected, the Beidi soldiers patrolling Ningcheng were in twos and threes and listless.

At this time, he asked the soldiers to slow down and try to avoid making any noise.

Then he asked the soldiers to lower their mortars and aim at the south gate of Ningcheng.

While waiting for the field artillery, he asked his soldiers to cut down the woods and build ladders.

When the soldiers came over with the field artillery, everything was basically ready.

"Place the artillery in front of the south gate." Qin Shan said to the artillerymen.

Then, he gave the order, the cannon sounded, and the mortars also bombarded the city wall.

Once the city gate was knocked down, one group of soldiers rushed in through the city gate, while another group of soldiers used ladders to climb up the city wall and occupy the commanding heights of Ningcheng.

In the night.

The Beidi soldiers had no idea what was happening in the darkness.

They didn't even bother to look into the darkness.

In their minds, it was impossible for King Yan's soldiers to attack Ningcheng while resisting their attack.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly a huge roar sounded.

They were so frightened that they almost jumped up. After a brief moment of shock, they suddenly realized something.

The Beidi general shouted loudly on the city wall and ordered the Beidi soldiers to prepare for enemy attacks.

But only a low roar was heard, and a huge explosion sounded above their heads.

The Beidi soldiers screamed and fell down.

"kill!"

At this moment, the roar of the royal soldiers broke the dead silence of the night.

The soldiers of the royal palace carried rifled guns with bayonets and rushed towards the city gate that was blown down by artillery.

The soldiers on both sides of the city gate rushed toward the city wall carrying ladders.
