Become a feudal king from today

"Your Majesty, you really have the same idea as me. I agree to this matter." Xie Duan's eyes flashed.

He originally intended to unite the Qi State to jointly resist the King of Yan.

Unexpectedly, before he took action, Qi Guo came to the door himself.

Moreover, he also gave him a great gift that he could only dream of.

How could he refuse such a good opportunity?

The envoy of Qi nodded and smiled, as he expected.

No powerful man could resist the temptation of a flintlock gun.

What's more, the Xie family and the King of Yan had a dispute over the imperial throne.

"In that case, please ask your Majesty to sign this contract." The Qi envoy took a document from the official beside him and presented it to Xie Duan.

Xie Duan took it and read the document carefully.

The content of the contract is very simple, which is to form an offensive and defensive alliance against King Yan.

If one of the contracting parties is attacked by King Yan, the other contracting states must provide necessary resources such as soldiers, food and grass.

If the majority of the contracting parties agree to attack King Yan, other contracting states must also send troops to support.

"Go get the jade seal." Xie Duan said to the eunuch beside him.

Zhao Gang is just a puppet of the Xie family. The power of the court is currently in his hands. It is enough for this contract to be approved by him.

The Qi envoy nodded with satisfaction. Among the four envoys, he was the first to arrive at his destination, and the first contract was successfully concluded.

This is a good start.

In fact, he also knew that there was no essential contradiction between the powerful clans. At present, all he needed was Qi Guo, the matchmaker, to complete the alliance.

at the same time.

The other three envoys are rushing to Wu State, Nanliang and Nanping in the south.

Three days later, the envoys from Qi to Wu arrived in Lincheng.

Just like the Qi envoys in Jinling, after seeing Liang Kai, they first presented flintlock guns and demonstrated them in front of Liang Kai.

This new type of firearm, which was different from the matchlock gun, immediately shocked the Wu court.

Although Liang Kai was happy to see the Qi and Japanese people fighting the King of Yan to death, the temptation of the flintlock gun was obviously difficult to refuse.

This made him realize the gap between Wu's muskets and Qi's.

If this gap cannot be made up, even if the King of Yan and Qi decide the outcome, Wu's poor muskets will not be able to win over the Qi army with flintlocks, let alone profit from it.

Thinking of this, he signed the contract without hesitation.

"Go back and tell your majesty that our Wu and Qi countries have worked together to deal with King Yan before. We hope that the two countries will continue to repair and deal with the threat from the north." Liang Kai said after stamping his seal on the contract.

Although he said this, he secretly thought that when the time came, he would only need to work without exerting any effort.

…

Nanliang.

Only two days after Wu, the Qi envoys arrived in Xiangcheng.

Dou Wei and Dou Mu were overjoyed to learn the purpose and promise of the Qi envoy.

After signing the contract and seeing off the Qi envoys, Dou Mu said: "My father is really wise. He concluded that sooner or later other powerful clans would join forces with our Dou family to attack Yan again, and now it turns out to be true."

Dou Wei showed a proud look. This time King Yan attacked the three cities of Hebei, which not only reunited the powerful clans, but also allowed the powerful clans to obtain flintlock guns, which greatly increased their strength.

Previously, any of them were at a disadvantage when facing King Yan.

Now, the powerful clans are united, and Nan Liang has Bei Di to help, and Qi has Dong Ying to cooperate.

Their combined strength seems to greatly exceed that of King Yan.

If King Yan wants to defeat them one by one and unite them all, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In this way, countries will be stable.

From now on, even if he cannot unify Nanliang, he will still

…

Outside Pingyuan City.

While Qi State was cooperating with other powerful clans, half of the aerial forts here had been built.

During this period, the skirmishers were not idle and kept attacking Qi soldiers on the city wall.

Apart from this, the royal soldiers in the camp only trained as usual every day and took no other actions.

Facing the strange buildings that were growing taller, Han Qi in the city became more and more anxious, but he did not dare to lead his troops out of the city to fight.

He knew very well that it was tantamount to seeking death.

Another ten days passed.

The eight aerial forts were finally completed and put into use.

On this day, Chang Wei ordered the artillery to pull the field artillery to the aerial fort and aim at the northern wall of Pingyuan City.

These aerial forts are taller than the walls of Plain City.

Today, the artillerymen have changed from looking up at Pingyuan City to looking down at Pingyuan City.

When all the field artillerymen were on the fort.

The war begins.

"Soldiers, we have enough ammunition this time. Don't be afraid of wasting it. Hit me hard." From an aerial fort, Chang Wei pointed at Pingyuan City and shouted.

During this time, King Yan transferred a lot of ammunition from Yancheng.

According to him, he was afraid that the palace's pro-army forces would have insufficient firepower, resulting in unnecessary casualties to the soldiers.

Therefore, he specially ordered a saturation bombardment of Pingyuan City to make the enemy cry for father and mother.

The artillerymen all grinned when they heard this.

For them, having enough cannonballs is like having enough food, which can be said to be "happy".

So they shouted, "Yes, General!"

Chang Wei nodded and conveyed this order to the other seven forts.

Of course, this order also applies to artillerymen in charge of mortars, as well as musketeers and hot-air balloon soldiers.

Everything was ready, Chang Wei issued the order to attack.

"Boom boom boom..."

At almost the same time, the sound of cannons rang out from eight aerial forts.

Cannonballs flew over a distance of 800 meters and hit the head of Pingyuan City.

At this moment, standing on the fort, the artillery general could clearly see the position of Qi's artillery on the wall of Pingyuan City through his telescope.

They specifically focused on suppressing the opponent's artillery.

Prevent them from causing heavy casualties to the charging palace soldiers.

When the cannon sounded, the heavy infantry was in front and the musketeers were behind, slowly walking towards Pingyuan City.

The mortar artillerymen followed the siege soldiers.

When they were four hundred meters away from Pingyuan City, they stopped and aimed their mortars at Pingyuan City's walls.

Lime bombs and shotgun shells cut through curves in the air and exploded at the head of the plain city, blooming into flowers of flame.

"Damn it, it turns out that ghost thing is used to install artillery. How do the generals of King Yan know so many weird things!"

On the steps leading to the city wall in Pingyuan City, Han Qi jumped angrily.

Now, he didn't dare to climb the city wall at all.

Cannonballs roared in one after another and hit the city wall directly. The soldiers hit by the cannonballs were either killed or injured.

"Marshal, the soldiers of Yanzhou are attacking the city." At this moment, a Qi general came to Han Qi and said urgently.

"Quick, let the artillery push the artillery forward, replace them all with grape bullets, and hit them hard." Han Qi shouted.

Then he asked: "Where is General Shimura?"

"General Shi Cun went to the city. He said he would lay out the streets and alleys to fight street battles with Yanzhou soldiers." The general replied.

When Han Qi heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.

The city has already been arranged, so there is no need for him to go there again.

Shicun Dahe clearly saw that the situation was not right and was unwilling to go to the city to supervise the battle.

The Japanese are indeed unreliable.
