Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 676 Things are different now

"Boom boom boom..."

Grenade after grenade flew up the city wall. ReadМ

Ma Jin's soldier, who was hiding under the wall due to being shot by skirmishers, saw something like a stick falling in front of him.

Before they knew it the sticks suddenly exploded.

The Ma Jin soldiers who were crowded together suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and bursts of miserable howls could be heard.

But this was just the beginning. Then the sticks were thrown up the city wall and exploded one after another.

After five consecutive rounds of throwing, the artillery on the city wall of Yangcheng stopped moving.

Observing that period through the telescope, Ma Han decisively issued the order to attack the city.

kill! The soldiers of the Ma family let out a roar that shook the sky, and they rushed towards the city wall carrying the ladders.

Under the bombardment of grenades, only a small number of Ma Jin soldiers remained on the east wall of Yangcheng.

And these soldiers were frightened when they looked at the corpses scattered on the city wall.

Unprepared for the grenades, the generals on the walls of Yangcheng were killed and injured, and no one organized resistance.

Soldiers who had never seen a grenade were frightened by the explosions and lost their fighting spirit, just like a frightened bird.

When the shouts of death started, their legs trembled and they forgot about fighting.

At this moment, the ladders leaned against the city wall one by one.

Following the ladder, the Ma family soldiers quickly climbed onto the city wall of Yangcheng, raised their bayonets, and rushed towards the Ma Jin soldiers, shouting at the same time, "Surrender without killing!"

Upon hearing the orders of the Ma family soldiers, many remaining Ma Jin soldiers dropped their swords and knelt on the ground and chose to surrender.

Some Ma Jin soldiers who chose to resist were turned into hedgehogs by bayonets.

In a short period of time, the Ma family soldiers captured the city wall.

Then they went down the steps and controlled the gates on all sides.

Some soldiers shot down the Ma Jin soldiers who tried to compete with them for the city wall.

After half an hour, the sandbags and stones in the city gate were cleared, and the Ma family soldiers opened the city gate.

Upon seeing this, Mahan ordered a full-scale attack.

The Ma family soldiers outside the city suddenly roared and entered the city from the ladder or the city wall.

"It's so happy, it's so happy." Ma Han walked around excitedly looking at the Ma family people pouring into the city.

During Zhao Heng's Northern Expedition, the 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command were still helpless in the face of Rangcheng, and they lost their troops and generals.

But just two years apart, they feel like they are worlds apart.

It only took him two hours to break through Yangcheng.

This result boosted his confidence.

Although Dian Zhang looked calm, his heart was filled with waves.

This stop proved to them the power of Yanzhou firearms.

Equipped with firearms provided by King Yan, and trained by King Yan's generals.

The current Ma family's soldiers and horses are no longer the former Ma family's soldiers and horses, they have simply undergone a qualitative change.

He nodded slightly and said: "The head of the family really made a wise decision at the beginning. If Tonghao had not cut off his seat and joined the command of King Yan, why would we be in this grand situation today?"

He believed that this battle would silence those who had criticized Ma Han's decision forever.

When Ma Han heard this, he felt happy.

At that time, this was indeed a difficult decision. After all, relying on the powerful clans to rule the people, and the powerful clans to rule the powerful clans, has been the law for thousands of years.

To betray this law is to become a public enemy of the wealthy family.

When he was annihilating the rebellious wealthy clan in Sizhou, he dreamed back at midnight that he had doubted whether his decision was correct.

Fortunately, he persisted.

Otherwise, I am afraid that his Ma family will cease to exist today.

Although, now Sizhou has been included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the Ma family's army no longer belongs to the Ma family.

But at least King Yan preserved the prosperity and wealth of the Ma family.

And that's enough.

If this time, he can take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou, kill Ma Jin with his own hands, break through Nanliang and kill Dou Wei, he will have no regrets.

"Boom, boom, boom..." While he was thinking, the explosion of grenades sounded in Yangcheng.

The Ma family soldiers obviously encountered resistance.

He and Dianzhang looked at each other and walked towards Rangcheng.

Climbing the city wall, the two observed the situation on the battlefield through telescopes.

Under the attack of the Ma family soldiers, the Ma Jin soldiers in Yangcheng retreated steadily. Many Ma Jin soldiers knelt down on the roadside and surrendered to the Ma family soldiers.

Most of these Ma Jin soldiers were young men captured by Ma Jin in Qinzhou and Yongzhou, and some of them were handed over to Beidi by Ma Jin to attack the prince's army when Xiliang was destroyed. After all, they were still Dasong people.

When these soldiers gained power, they were still able to obey General Ma Jing's orders and fight with them.

But in the face of their ferocious firearms, the soldiers quickly collapsed out of fear.

Seeing this scene, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They won the battle in Rangcheng.

It lasted until dusk, and then at dawn the next day, the gunfire in Yangcheng gradually stopped.

Just after breakfast, Dian Zhang sent Ma Han a battle report.

"My Lord, in this battle, more than 30,000 people were annihilated, more than 60,000 were captured, and our army suffered 832 casualties." Dian Zhang read out a series of numbers that even he himself did not believe.

If we had not sacrificed 50,000 to 60,000 troops before, it would have been impossible to capture Yangcheng.

But now it took them only one day to capture Yangcheng, with only more than 800 people dead and injured.

How shocking this is.

Ma Hanzheng hesitated for a long time, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of excitement.

He became more and more grateful for his original choice, and at the same time, he felt a sense of awe towards King Yan from the bottom of his heart.

From now on, he must not show any contempt towards this King of Yan, but must be loyal and true to his duty.

"Leave a thousand men to guard Yangcheng, and then dispatch a thousand men to escort the captured soldiers to Sizhou. The others will rest during the day. In the next three days, we will march day and night. We must take it with lightning speed. Xiancheng." Ma Han said.

During this time, he also went to the military academy in Yanzhou from time to time, and mastered many tactics that he had never seen before in the academy.

Some of the tactics listed are the strategies used by King Yan in the Battle of Jinzhou.

This time, he asked the Ma family soldiers and horses to carry only weapons, ammunition and fried noodles, and travel lightly, in order to prepare for the night attack tactic.

After a day's rest, when night fell, the Ma family's soldiers and horses disappeared into the night.

Xiancheng.

On the evening of the second day after Rangcheng was attacked, a pair of cavalry entered Xiancheng.

Passed the news to Ma Jin that the Ma family soldiers and horses were attacking Rangcheng.

"What! Ma Han is so brave that he dares to attack Yangcheng."

In the Yuxiang Tower in Xiancheng, Ma Jin was leading his generals to drink and have fun with General Beidi.

After hearing the news, he slapped the table and stood up, looking angry.

Then he sneered and sat down, "In the Northern Expedition, he spent more than a month unable to break through Rangcheng. What can he do today? Let him lose his troops at long range. In a few days, we will send out a large army and destroy Ma Han. This army."

As if he thought of something again, he suddenly became proud, "Currently, the Yan coalition forces are fighting with King Yan's troops in Qi State. Unfortunately, we have no chance to participate. If we can annihilate Ma Han's troops, it will be a great achievement."
