Become a feudal king from today

"Your Majesty, King Yan's troops are coming to Yangcheng. Read"

In the imperial study room, Wang Xie said to Han Zheng.

Just as they guessed, after the Nanliang soldiers and horses withdrew, King Yan immediately summoned the soldiers and horses, and immediately took action.

In the past two days, he continued to send cavalry to investigate and discovered King Yan's intentions.

However, this was within his expectation. After all, if it were him, he would also choose to attack Yangcheng.

In fact, they also concentrated a large number of soldiers and horses in Yangcheng, preparing to fight against the soldiers and horses of King Yan.

Also in the imperial study were Xie Duan, his younger brother Xie An and Wang Zi'an.

Xie An said: "I transferred another two hundred artillery pieces to Yangcheng. Currently, Yangcheng has nearly 600 artillery pieces."

Han Zheng nodded. Today he took off his dragon robe.

Han Qi was captured by King Yan, and Han Bi died in battle at Wubao in Nan'an.

At the moment, there is no one available in his Han family.

After discussion, he decided to let Wang Xie take charge of the troops.

The Xie family's troops were still led by Xie An.

"This battle is all about dragging King Yan under Yang City, the longer the better." Han Zheng said.

Wang Xie and Xie An looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The two left, and Xie Duan said to Han Zheng: "Brother Han, Brother Wang, don't hesitate anymore, take everything you can and don't leave it behind. Otherwise, once Yangcheng is destroyed, everything will belong to King Yan." of."

After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, I, Xie Duan, will not take advantage of the situation. After all, I will still count on the two of you hugging each other for warmth in the future."

Han Zheng shook his head, and Wang Zi'an also showed a helpless smile.

After making a plan to delay King Yan's move south, he decided to transfer Qi's treasury southward, leaving nothing for King Yan.

After that, he will follow Xie Duan south, first to Pengcheng, and continue to resist King Yan.

If King Yan pursues them, they will fight in Pengcheng and then go south until they cross Jiujiang and reach Jinling.

Xie Duan called Brother Han not to be disrespectful to him.

Instead, he was preparing to step down from the title of Emperor of Qi and once again become Han Zheng, the head of the Han family, one of the eight powerful families.

After all, once Qizhou is lost, he will no longer have the face to call himself an emperor.

And it is not conducive to Japan's ongoing plans.

"Brother Xie's words are a slap in my face. I, Han Zheng, am not like Dou Wei, who is full of evil ideas. Even if the wealth from the treasury is given to Brother Xie, what will happen?" Han Zheng said.

Hearing this, Xie Duan laughed and said, "Yes, I hope you and I can be honest with each other and don't do dirty things like that old fox Dou Wei."

After saying that, Xie Duan stretched out his hand. Han Zheng and Wang Zi'an looked at each other and put their hands on Xie Duan's hand. This was a sign of trust in each other.

…

Liaocheng.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei set out from Dongping City and arrived here after two days of trekking.

Had a short rest for half a day.

Next, they walked south, and after another day and a half of trekking, they arrived at the foot of Yangcheng City.

After ordering the army to set up camp about 800 meters outside Yangcheng, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei found a raised slope and looked towards the head of Yangcheng.

Noticing the dense artillery on the walls of Yangcheng, the two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

"There is no grass in front of Yangcheng, and there are rocks below. The general's new tactics are really useless." Chang Wei was a little annoyed. There are some smart people in Qi State who know how to adapt to changes. "

Zhao Xu nodded, "The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. This is what happens when you march and fight. We can't let us take advantage of everything."

Looking at Yangcheng in the middle of the mountain road, he said: "The tunnel cannot be dug, so we will adopt the old method of attacking at night."

For him, the difficulty he faces now is just not being able to take advantage like digging a tunnel.

But relying on their advantage in firearms, it is still very easy to capture Yangcheng, but it is slightly more difficult than Pingyuan City.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei said that King Yan and him had gone to the same place.

With such a dense artillery, there will naturally be more casualties during a daytime siege.

But it is still possible to let the skirmishers get close to the city wall at night and blow up their artillery.

Yangcheng city wall.

As soon as King Yan's troops arrived, Wang Xie and Xie An climbed onto the city wall.

Looking at King Yan's army setting up camp, he and Xie An looked at each other.

"The soldiers and horses of King Yan should attack the city at night." Wang She said.

"Why?" Xie An looked at Wang She, and he was not convinced by this member of the Wang family who was more than twenty years younger than himself.

Wang Xie said: "In previous wars, King Yan would rather go to trouble than force his soldiers to attack the city. This shows that he cherishes the lives of his soldiers very much. This time is no exception. The general will have to work hard tonight."

When Wang Xie said this, Xie An fell silent.

It seems so.

He said: "This is troublesome. The sky is filled with dark clouds today, and I will be unable to see my fingers at night. King Yan's troops always like to send scattered soldiers to harass them. How can we fight this battle?"

Although their mission is to delay the fall of Yangcheng as much as possible.

But he really didn't know what to do.

Wang She said: "Did General Xie never study the tactics used by King Yan when he attacked Beidi? There are ways to counter Beidi's night attack."

Xie An looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

But the battle was ahead, and he just wanted to complete the task, so he said: "Please give me some advice."

Wang Xie came to Xie An and said a few words to him.

Xie An was overjoyed when he heard this.

While the two were talking, Zhao Xu took a real look through the telescope.

Zhao Xu said: "The one on the wall seems to be Xie An. He once came to Yanzhou to pick up King Chun back to the capital. Is that young general Wang She?"

During the Northern Expedition, when Zhao Heng came to Yanzhou, Wang Zi'an took him to Yancheng and he saw it.

During this period, when Tsui Hark was collecting intelligence about Qi, he also got to know Wang Xie somewhat and called him brave and resourceful.

Thinking of this, he frowned and gave Chang Wei a few words of advice.
