Become a feudal king from today

"Father, I'm back!" Ma Jin's blood dyed the hem of Ma Han's gown red. read

Looking at the extremely familiar city in front of him, a hot tear fell from the corner of Ma Han's eyes.

Dian Zhang and other Ma family generals looked moved, and they were equally excited.

Over the years after losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou, their deep sense of guilt has kept them awake.

Now, their hearts are finally at peace.

Ma Jin's body was hung at the east gate of Xiancheng for public display.

General Ma Hantong returned to the mansion that once belonged to him.

Taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed down from the pleasure of revenge.

Regardless of circumstances, even if he recaptures Xiancheng, the city will no longer be the private property of his Ma family, but will belong to the imperial court.

His goal is no longer to expand the power of the Ma family and take Qinzhou and Yongzhou as his own.

Instead, they carried out the orders of King Yan, stirred up the northwest of Dasong, and cooperated with the royal army to create trouble for the Yan coalition forces and disrupt their cooperation.

Therefore, he cannot stop here and must continue to implement the plan.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "How many Beidi cavalry were killed in this ambush?"

Ma Lan said: "My lord, after counting, there are more than 33,000 Beidi cavalry casualties, and the remaining Beidi cavalry have all fled."

Ma Han nodded and said to Dianzhang: "The remaining Beidi cavalry is not something to be afraid of. I will give you 20,000 troops to attack Yongcheng. The remaining troops will follow me and we will march day and night to capture Xiaoguan. "

"Yes, Master." Dian Zhang nodded.

After deciding this matter, Ma Han ordered the soldiers to rest for a day.

The next day, he left three thousand soldiers and horses in Xiancheng to guard the city, and led more than 75,000 people to march towards Xiaoguan.

Dian Zhang led 20,000 troops and headed north.

In order to defend against the Ma army in Sizhou, Beidi concentrated its main forces in the two cities of Rangcheng and Xiancheng during this period.

In other cities in Qinzhou, there are only hundreds or even thousands of people guarding the city to maintain law and order.

Ma Han did not capture these cities one by one, but took down the cities he encountered on the way to Xiaoguan.

After all, the troops were very fast at the moment, and they wanted to take advantage of Beidi and Nanliang's failure to react and capture Xiao Pass.

After four days of rapid march, he arrived at Xiaoguan City.

"This is bad." Looking at the Ma family soldiers who suddenly appeared under the city, General Xiao Guan and Beidi looked extremely embarrassed.

Because Ma Han advanced too fast, it took less than ten days to break through Rangcheng, then to Xiancheng, and finally arrived at Xiaoguan.

Moreover, the Beidi cavalry who fled from Xiancheng brought him the news of the fall of Xiancheng only two days ago.

The scouts he sent to Wuwei may have just arrived.

The most terrible thing is that the current territory of Qinzhou and Yongzhou belongs to Beidi territory.

To Beidi, Xiaoguan was just an inner pass. They did not station heavy troops in Xiaoguan at all. On weekdays, they only had 15,000 men on guard.

Even if some of the Beidi cavalry who fled here from Xiancheng were included, there were only more than 30,000 people.

"Siege the city."

Compared with the panic of the Beidi generals, Ma Han was full of confidence.

After fighting all this time, he was full of confidence in his soldiers.

After losing Qinzhou and Yongzhou, the morale of the Ma family was very low.

But now, since they left Qinguan and captured Yangcheng, the morale of the Ma family soldiers is getting higher and higher, and all of them seem to have endless energy.

Therefore, he gave the order to the soldiers to rest for just half an hour.

Before entering Qinzhou, the Fourth Academy provided them with the troop deployment of Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

Therefore, he knew very well that there were not many Beidi soldiers in Xiaoguan.

This is why he dared to divide his troops into two groups, taking Yongzhou all the way and Xiaoguan all the way.

"Boom boom boom..."

On his orders, mortars and field artillery bombarded the city walls.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to aim at the Beidi soldiers on the city wall and hit them whenever the Beidi soldiers showed up.

The solid bullets of the field artillery hit the wall stacks, and the huge power shattered the wall stacks.

The shells of the mortars burst into flames on the city wall.

Lime bombs even covered the city walls in white dust.

Under the fierce bombardment, the Beidi artillery was suppressed by the fierce firepower, causing chaos and causing a large number of casualties.

Only a few Beidi artillery pieces were still shooting at the skirmishers under the city wall.

But their artillery can often only fire one shell per minute.

Such shelling was basically unable to hinder the advance of the skirmishers.

The skirmishers ran in irregular curves.

Each of their waists was hung with grenades.

Thousands of paratroopers were spaced about one meter apart and advanced staggered.

When they came to the city wall, they threw grenades up.

Mortars and field artillery are powerful, but due to their small number, they are not as large as the range of damage caused by dense grenades.

"Boom, boom, boom..." There was an explosion, and almost every position on the front wall was covered in flames.

After the first round of throwing, the sound of cannons on the city wall stopped.

Some of the remaining Beidi archers looked fierce as they leaned towards the city.

Seeing that the Ma family soldiers below the city were about to throw stick-like objects at them again, they bent their bows and drew arrows to shoot at the soldiers throwing grenades.

However, the moment they leaned forward, the soldiers who had been staring at the city wall pulled the trigger and shot them.

Beidi archers were shot and killed one after another.

However, a small number of archers still fired arrows, and the soldiers who threw grenades suffered casualties.

Seeing this, Ma Han immediately sent soldiers to drag the injured soldiers back, and ordered the reserve team to fill the injured soldiers' positions.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The explosion sounded again, then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...

Ma Han squinted his eyes and looked at the Xiaoguan city wall. Compared with Ma Jin's soldiers, the resistance of Beidi soldiers was indeed more fierce.

But their ferocity meant nothing.

At most, it only takes a few more rounds of grenades.

For him, the gap in firearms could no longer be made up for by the bravery of individual soldiers.

The city wall was bombarded indiscriminately for half an hour, until no more Beidi soldiers rushed to the city wall, and the order to attack the city was immediately issued.

At this time, the ladder team who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the city wall carrying the ladder.

The Ma family soldiers followed the Yun Echelon team.

The moment the ladder reached the city wall, they quickly climbed up the city wall using their hands and feet.

At this moment, the city walls were covered with the corpses of Beidi soldiers, and they didn't even have a place to stay.

They could only step on the corpses of the Beidi people and rush to the steps, preparing to seize the city gate.

The moment they climbed onto the city wall, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

The Beidi soldiers hiding under the city wall fired bows and arrows at them, and some soldiers were injured and fell to the ground immediately.

"Son of a bitch." The injured soldier cursed, took off the grenade from his waist, pulled away the match rope and threw the Beidi soldier down near the city wall.

An explosion sounded, and the screams of Beidi soldiers suddenly came.

Other soldiers also threw grenades at the Beidi soldiers, causing explosions in all directions.

As more soldiers climbed onto the city wall, more explosions sounded.

At the same time, intensive gunfire rang out, and the Beidi soldiers who resisted continued to fall in a pool of blood.

Under the cover of other soldiers, a school captain led his five hundred soldiers to kill the city gate.

More than thirty Beidi soldiers hid in the doorway to resist, but were immediately dealt with by grenades thrown at them.

The Ma family soldiers took advantage of the situation and opened the city gate.
