Become a feudal king from today

Ningcheng. read

Qin Shan stood on the city wall and looked at the Beidi soldiers who were setting up camp.

In this battle, he was the chief general and Guan Tong was the deputy general.

The other captains obeyed the two of them.

After discussing with Guan Tong, he decided to guard the north and east gates, while Guan Tong was responsible for guarding the south and west gates.

After the Beidi reinforcements from Jincheng arrived, the Beidi army attacking Yanguan also arrived subsequently.

Through investigation, they found that the Beidi army that had withdrawn from Yanguan was estimated to be less than 200,000.

The Beidi army coming from the north is now close to 150,000

However, cavalry continued to arrive later.

He estimated that the Beidi army besieging Ningcheng would be close to 400,000.

"Are you afraid?" Qin Shan patted the shoulder of the general beside him.

This is a captain named Li Yi. He was promoted from a school captain to a captain because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jinzhou.

Li Yi shook his head and nodded again, "A little nervous, but not afraid. Ever since he joined the royal army, the general has been living with his head in his belt."

When the other two captains heard this, they all laughed and looked relaxed.

If they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they would not be able to achieve the position of captain today.

"That's good. This battle is the key to the battle of Ningjin. If you can hold on, you will win this battle. If you can't hold on, you will lose everything." Qin Shan looked relaxed, "If I die, you go back , you must help me take care of my wife, children and mother. If you die, I, Qinshan, will also take care of your wife, children and mother."

When the three of them heard this, their eyes turned red and they nodded heavily.

"Hahaha, this battle hasn't started yet, why are you acting like a girl? Maybe we can beat the shit out of them." Guan Tong came over with a big smile at this time.

Looking outside the city, he continued: "The Beidi soldiers who came from the south are a bit shabby, but the ones who came from the north are more energetic. How about we change."

Qin Shan's brows suddenly raised, "What a beautiful thought. If you are not in Nancheng, what are you doing here? If Nancheng does something wrong, I will not care about personal affairs and will punish you anyway."

Guan Tong shrank his neck and said seriously: "General Qin, I believe that the number of mortars and artillery in Nancheng can be reduced and moved to the north of the city to deal with the Beidi army coming from Jincheng."

"I have given you twelve field guns and twenty-four mortars. Can you handle it no matter how small it is?" Qin Shan asked.

This time they carried a total of 72 light field guns and 108 mortars.

Neither the number of mortars and cannon nor the quantity of ammunition was large.

"It can be done." Guan Tong was still smiling, "The general is absolutely telling the truth. The Beidi army coming from the south seems to have lost its temper after being beaten by the brothers from Yan Guan."

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shan nodded.

Just as Guan Tong said, the Beidi cavalry coming from the north were full of energy and murderous.

This is definitely the elite among Beidi.

It may even be the royal guard guarding the Khan's court.

At the same time, Beidi camped.

As soon as Gurtu arrived with his army, he set up camp outside the southern city as ordered.

He, Horqin, Gule, and Wuyan went to the north of the city and came to Tiemuta's tent.

After entering the camp, they looked at the man sitting on the chair opposite and were shocked.

"Khan!"

Gurtu was taken aback and hurriedly saluted Mulhonzhen.

Horqin, Gule, and Wuyan recognized the man and bent down at the same time.

Mule Hongzhen raised his hand to signal the four of them to excuse themselves.

He arrived less than half a day after Temuta arrived.

This time, he will personally lead the Beidi army to capture Ningcheng.

Otherwise, the territory Beidi has managed for more than ten years will fall into the hands of King Yan, and his prestige in Beidi will decline rapidly.

"Khan, we are guilty. We have not captured Yan Pass and suffered heavy losses." Gurtu looked sad and angry.

"I can't blame you. It's not that you are not brave enough, but that King Yan is too cunning. Even I don't understand how he gathered so many troops when the plague was rampant in Yanzhou." Mu Lehongzhen said slowly.

"Khan..." Mulehong said so, Gurtu and Horqin almost cried.

They really tried their best, but they failed to achieve any results and were always worried about being harshly criticized.

When Mulehon really said this, their grievances immediately disappeared.

Sighing softly, Mule Hongzhen looked at the four of them, "Don't mention the war at Yanguan anymore. The most important thing at the moment is Ningcheng. No matter what the cost, we must not let King Yan seize our territory in Beidi. "

The failure to attack Yanguan is at most a failure of advancement.

In the past many years, the attack on Yanguan failed many times.

It won't have much impact on him.

But losing Ningcheng means the decline of Beidi.

Once he cannot get it back, Beidi's confidence will be affected from top to bottom.

"Yes, Khan." The four Gurtu responded.

Mulehonzhen nodded and asked Gurtu about the number of artillery pieces he carried.

In order to capture Yanguan, he gave almost all the artillery in Jincheng to Gurtu.

"Back to Khan, we only have eighty-two artillery pieces left." Gurtu looked at Mule Hongzhen carefully.

When attacking Yancheng, their artillery positions were constantly bombarded by Yanguan artillery, and many artillery pieces were damaged.

"Eighty-two gates!" Mule Hongzhen's pupils shrank slightly.

Although this number of artillery made him very dissatisfied, there was no other way now.

There is sufficient food and grass in Ningcheng, so besieging Ningcheng will not work.

Moreover, he had long nights and many dreams, so he was not sure what moves King Yan would make.

Therefore, if we don't take advantage of Ningcheng's only 60,000 King Yan troops to recapture it, the following will be even more troublesome.

Furthermore, Ningcheng is different from Yanguan, they can only attack one side.

Surrounded from all sides, they only had an average of fifteen thousand people on each wall.

But they can deploy hundreds of thousands of troops on each side.

With such a superior force, it is not impossible to decide in one battle.

Thinking of this, he said to Gurtu, "I'll give you a day to rest."

The 200,000 troops and horses he brought from Jincheng were also on their way non-stop.

Rest is also needed now.

In response, Gurtu and others turned and left.

Early morning one day later.

A loud horn sounded in the Beidi camp.

Under the general's order, the Beidi soldiers slowly walked out of the camp and formed a formation in front of the gate.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shan immediately asked the generals to board the city wall to prepare to resist Beidi's attack.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a brief preparation by both sides, Beidi's sixty artillery pieces gathered at the north gate opened fire first.

Cannonballs hit the city wall heavily.

The green bricks shattered into dust under the bombardment of the artillery shells.

At the same time, the field guns on the city gates returned fire.

The artillery shells flew straight into the artillery fortifications built by Beidi.

"Anda!"

At the same time as the artillery roared, Beidi soldiers roared and surged towards the four walls like a tide. The sound was very loud.
