Become a feudal king from today

"Qi's army withdrew. Read М"

On the city wall, Chang Wei had been watching the battlefield. When he saw Qi soldiers retreating southward, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Pingyuan City was taken.

What followed was just the pursuit and interception of Qi's remaining soldiers.

Turning his head, he said to Qin Shan and Guantong: "You immediately lead the soldiers to take over Pingyuan City."

The two of them, respectively, commanded their troops and entered through the north gate.

South side of Pingyuan City.

Chen Hu and Zhong Li each commanded 10,000 cavalry and ambush on the road that must pass through Pingyuan City's ferry.

When the cannon fire in Pingyuan City stopped, a cavalryman came in a hurry.

"General, the Qi State has been defeated, and a large number of defeated troops are fleeing towards Pingyuan City Ferry."

Zhong Li and Chen Hu looked at each other and nodded.

Returning to their respective armies, they immediately ordered preparations for battle.

In less than half an hour, they saw Wuyangyang's Qi soldiers coming from the north.

When these soldiers entered their ambush range, a gong sounded, and a large number of cavalry rushed out of the woods, waving their sabers and rushed over.

The Qi soldiers who escaped from Pingyuan City could not find their generals. They could not find their generals, and they became a mess.

Now seeing a large number of cavalry charging towards them, they were even more frightened. They didn't care about anything and just wanted to escape for their lives.

For a time, Qi soldiers were like headless flies, running everywhere.

"Kill!" Facing the chaotic Qi soldiers, the cavalry was like a sharp knife inserted into tofu.

They rushed into the middle of the rebels on horseback, slashing them left and right, and one after another Qi soldiers fell under their sabers.

The attack of more than 20,000 cavalry instantly caused Qi's troops to collapse with heavy casualties.

Seeing this, the Qi soldiers were even more panicked. A large number of soldiers threw away their matchlocks and armor, and just ran away towards the Pingyuan City ferry.

Han Qi and Shi Cun Dahe were among the defeated troops.

While the royal soldiers were chasing the Qi soldiers, they were observing the weak positions of the royal cavalry.

Seeing Qi soldiers rushing through a gap in the southeast, he immediately led his cavalry to kill them.

Zhongli had been watching the battlefield and noticed a small group of Qi cavalry trying to escape. He immediately led a thousand cavalry to kill them.

When Han Qi and Shi Cun Dahe broke through the gap, they saw a pair of cavalry surrounding them.

Zhong Li stared at Han Qi and sneered, "Master Han, long time no see."

When he was working under Yuan Li, he met Han Qi many times.

Han Qi's face froze.

If he meets someone else, he may still have hope of escaping.

But facing the cavalry commanded by Zhongli, he was unable to fly.

"Zhongli, you are acting as a traitor to a tiger. Neither King Yan nor you will have a good end. You just wait." Seeing that there was little hope of escaping back to Qi, Han Qi looked fierce and shouted loudly.

Zhongli gave Han Qi a disdainful look and said, "Whoever is doing justice for heaven and who is acting as a swindler will naturally be judged a hundred years from now."

After that, he pointed his spear at Han Qi, slapped his horse and killed him.

Han Qi was shocked and tried to rein in his horse and turn around.

But Zhongli's spear arrived instantly and knocked him off his horse.

Immediately, Zhongli swept his spear and knocked down Shi Cun Dahe who was following Han Qi.

"Catch them all!" Zhongli shouted.

The cavalrymen responded loudly, jumped off their horses, and pushed Han Qi and Shi Cundahe to the ground.

The general was captured, and the soldiers of Qi were completely demoralized.

More and more Qi soldiers simply stopped running away, and instead dropped their weapons and surrendered like the cavalry.

Only a few Qi soldiers escaped from the battlefield.

Annihilating the scattered Qi soldiers in one fell swoop, Zhongli and Chen Hu ordered the cavalry to escort them toward Pingyuan City.

Only a few soldiers were left to clean the battlefield and collect armor, matchlocks, and other items.

At this time, Chang Wei and the generals had arrived at the center of Pingyuan City.

When Zhongli came with the prisoners, Chang Wei and the generals smiled.

Then he said: "Send the battle report to Yancheng immediately and wait for His Highness's instructions."

Two days later.

The news that the royal family's troops had defeated Pingyuan City arrived in Yancheng.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, once Pingyuan City is destroyed, the remaining two cities are nothing more than a piece of cake."

In the reception hall of the palace, Ma Han congratulated Zhao Xu.

Three days ago, King Yan ordered him to go to Yancheng to discuss matters. Today, he just arrived.

Zhao Xu laughed softly after hearing this, "This matter was within my expectation. All I care about is reducing the casualties of soldiers."

Ma Han continued to flatter, "Your Highness loves soldiers as much as his sons. No wonder the royal family's troops are invincible."

Zhao Xu waved his hand, "Okay, I have summoned you here not to listen to your flattery, but to entrust you with something important."

Ma Han's expression suddenly became serious, as if he was all ears.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xu said: "According to the information I have received, Qi State seems to be cooperating with other powerful clans to jointly resist this king."

"I don't care if the powerful clans join forces to attack, but if Beidi and Dongying get involved, it will be troublesome."

"You have also listened to the battle report just now. The Qi army that fought with the royal soldiers this time has already had flintlock rifles. If they are allowed to continue to collude with internal and external forces, the division of Dasong will probably continue for a long time, or even be far away. ”

"So, I am planning to start from two places. The first is to take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou and cut off the connection between Nanliang and Beidi. Secondly, when a new batch of warships are launched, I am planning to let Zhou Yi annihilate the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Navy. The Wufeng pirates cut off the communication between Japan and the Han family, so that we can deal with them with peace of mind. "

Ma Han nodded slowly.

In his opinion, King Yan's decision was very correct.

Now Beidi and Japan are the two initiators of the cholera ode.

They are like evil people who keep feeding meat to tigers.

As long as they are here, the tiger will become stronger and stronger, and it will bite Yanzhou more fiercely.

The most important thing is that the beatings are all internal friction within Dasong.

However, Dongying and Beidi can weaken Dasong by just fighting with each other, which is extremely shameless.

Then, his eyes suddenly lit up. Qinzhou and Yongzhou were a wound in the hearts of every Ma family.

Now, they finally have a chance to take back these two states.

"What does Your Highness want me to do?" he asked.

"I will provide your army with a batch of new muskets and artillery, and will also send generals to assist in training." Zhao Xu said.

During this period, Ma Han had put down the rebellion in Sizhou, and the Ma family that persisted gained his recognition.

From now on, the Ma family's army will not only be the Ma family's army, but also the imperial court's army.

Therefore, he planned to bring the firearms of the Ma family's army to the same level as those of the royal family's army.

After waiting for them to adapt to the new firearms, he would ask Ma Han to lead the Ma family troops to send troops to recapture Yongzhou, Qinzhou.

Ma Han was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Xu nodded, but he changed the topic and said, "But before that, your Ma family army will accept a group of generals from the military academy."

Ma Han was startled for a moment, and then he felt relieved. Since he had surrendered to King Yan, he didn't care about this anymore, so he said: "No problem."

Only then did Zhao Xu reveal a thick smile.

This group of generals is a special group of generals that he has cultivated since he established the military academy.

Their duty is not to lead soldiers in war like Chang Wei and others, but to be responsible for the ideological education of soldiers.

In the military, their power is equal to that of the commander-in-chief, and they can supervise each other.

In this way, he indirectly controls the Ma family's army.
