Become a feudal king from today

"Hahaha, it's just what I wanted. General Qin, I'll leave the defense of Ningcheng to you. General Qin will lead his troops out of the city right now. Guantong surrenders.

Qin Shan nodded.

The Beidi armies in the south and west all faced the palace reinforcements coming from Yanguan.

Therefore, the south and west walls do not need many soldiers to defend them at all.

Only a few thousand men can be left to garrison each city wall. The remaining soldiers can take the initiative to attack and cooperate with reinforcements to defeat the Beidi army in the south.

As for the Beidi army in the north, he will keep an eye on their movements.

Once he decides to besiege the reinforcements like the Beidi army in the south, he will again send some soldiers out of the city to help in the battle.

After Guan cleared the city wall, he immediately summoned the generals and issued the mission to fight out of the city.

In less than half an hour, 20,000 soldiers gathered at the south gate.

Under the leadership of the general, they walked out in an orderly manner.

When they arrived outside the door, they skillfully formed a hollow square formation.

In the military school, King Yan often mentioned this military formation.

Remind them that if they encounter a large number of enemy cavalry in the wild, they can prepare this formation to deal with it.

This square formation was very effective in restraining cavalry.

Nowadays, soldiers are equipped with rifled guns, and this kind of phalanx will be more effective against cavalry.

Even the car formation is just a variant of the hollow square formation.

However, the vehicle formation uses vehicles as shields, so soldiers can be better protected during battles and reduce casualties.

And they can only use their bodies as a shield.

Within a quarter of an hour, 20,000 soldiers quickly formed ten hollow square formations.

These ten hollow square formations are well arranged and divided into three rows.

There are four hollow square arrays in the first row, two hollow square arrays in the second row, and four hollow square arrays in the third row.

Due to the special nature of the hollow phalanx, soldiers can shoot at the enemy in any direction.

Therefore, the first and third rows can change the front and rear rows according to the direction of the enemy's attack.

There are enemies in front of the first row, and the first row is the main offensive force.

The enemy attacks from behind, and the third row is the main force of the attack.

The two rows in the middle can be mobilized at any time according to battlefield conditions.

As soon as the 20,000 soldiers left the city, the Beidi army in Nancheng noticed it.

Nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses separated from the Beidi army and slowly came towards them, including Beidi cavalry.

Guantong is located in the center of the hollow square on the left side of the third row.

Looking at the Beidi soldiers rushing toward them, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His purpose was to contain part of the Beidi army.

Now the effect is achieved.

As for the 50,000 Beidi troops who came over, he didn't take it seriously.

During this period, they defended the city wall, in order to use the advantage of the royal family's firearms to consume Beidi's troops as much as possible and reduce the casualties of their own soldiers.

It's not that they are afraid of Beidi and dare not fight head-on.

In his opinion, even if he and Qin Shan's 60,000 people fought against Beidi in the field, they could still wipe out more than half of their troops.

Therefore, the 50,000 people sent by the Beidi army in the south were not in his eyes at all.

The Hollow Phalanx can easily defeat them.

Especially when defending the city, they found that the morale of the Beicheng army in the south was obviously lower than that of the Beidi army in the north.

This is partly because some of the Beidi army in the south are from Xiliang.

But in his opinion, it was more that they had been beaten to the point of losing their courage in the Battle of Yanguan.

When they besieged Ningcheng, they didn't get any advantage and suffered heavy losses.

While he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a huge roar from the artillery in the south, interspersed with the firing of rifle guns.

Obviously, the Yanguan reinforcements and the Beidi army are fighting.

Just as Guan Tong thought.

At this moment, circular formations of vehicles stopped five miles away from Ningcheng.

The Beidi soldiers held up their machetes and shouted "Anda" from their mouths as they rushed towards the car formation.

Facing the impact of the Beidi infantry, the artillerymen in the vehicle formation immediately pulled the artillery to the gap between the tanks, replaced it with grape bullets, and bombarded the Beidi soldiers.

Grape bullets wrapped with more than thirty iron balls flew out of the muzzle, and the outer linen cloth broke.

The iron ball turned into a hail of bullets and flew towards the Beidi soldiers who were rushing over.

"Puff, puff!" There was a sound of flesh being penetrated.

The Beidi soldiers who rushed in front fell one after another.

At the same time, the mortars continued to throw shotgun shells and lime bullets on the heads of the Beidi soldiers.

Under the bombardment of artillery and mortars, Beidi soldiers suffered casualties.

Lime bombs even fascinated the eyes of Beidi soldiers, causing confusion in the charging team.

The Beidi soldiers who were like headless flies kept bumping into other charging soldiers.

When these soldiers rushed within 200 meters, the musketeers pulled the trigger.

The dense bullets streaked through the air like locusts.

A large number of Beidi soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Hey! If you keep fighting like this, you will die."

In the Beidi army formation, Gu Le stomped his feet heavily.

Two Xiliang king's tents, 200,000 soldiers and horses.

First they attacked Yanguan and then Ningcheng. After two attacks, the two royal tents together had less than 60,000 soldiers and horses.

Although the soldiers under Gurtu and Horqin also suffered heavy casualties, they could only retain half of their troops.

Wu Yan's eyes were red. All the Xiliang kings were Xiliang men, and there were no bastards mixed with the Dasong people.

Now, they are being slaughtered like animals.

He actually felt it.

Fighting with the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan is not called fighting, it is leading to death.

How can Xiliang soldiers with swords fight against Yanwang soldiers with muskets and artillery?

The most important thing is that these soldiers of King Yan are so damn strong and powerful.

Even in close combat, their soldiers could not take any advantage.

Moreover, during the siege battle on the 5th and 6th day, the remaining artillery was completely destroyed in the exchange of fire with King Yan's artillery.

They didn't have any firearms, so they had no choice but to fight with their lives.

If only there were a few soldiers and horses in Ningcheng, that would be it.

There are many of them, and they can exchange their lives for it.

But now another 50,000 soldiers and horses of the King of Yan have arrived, and they seem to be more powerful in firearms than the soldiers and horses of the King of Yan in the city. How are they going to fight!

"We have to fight even if we die. We are the king's army. We can die, but we cannot retreat. The Khan has given this reinforcement to us. We must block it!" Gurtu shouted angrily.

He is worse than Gu Le now.

Only the Black Iron King's tent had ever seen the formation of King Yan's troops and horses.

After the Black Iron King's Tent was defeated, he even mocked the Black Iron King's Tent for being useless.

But when he saw the car formation with his own eyes, he realized how difficult it was.

The cavalry sent out to harass the chariot formation had no way to do anything against these chariots.

Two hundred meters away, they couldn't threaten the tank at all.

After entering two hundred meters, they will be shot by the muskets of King Yan's soldiers again.

Even if they manage to rush in front of the chariot formation, the war horses will be blocked by the chariots.

The cavalry cannot harm the soldiers in the car formation at all.

He was distracted when he suddenly saw the soldiers who were charging dispersed.

A large number of soldiers fled back, including not only Xiliang soldiers, but also Beidi soldiers.

Seeing this, Gurtu's heart skipped a beat.
