Become a feudal king from today

"General, Beidi Tongniu King's Tent is coming towards Qingbo Bridge."

Qingbo Bridge.

Yang Zhen is reading military school textbooks by the river.

Hearing this, instead of being nervous, he became excited.

In the battle of Ningjindusi, his Ningjin army just went through the motions and never fought a tough battle at all.

Therefore, he did not dare to speak loudly in front of the royal generals.

I have long been looking forward to fighting Beidi independently.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

"How many days do they have left?" Yang Zhen asked.

"It only takes a day and a half." Tan Ma said.

Yang Zhen nodded, "Continue to observe. If there are any other changes in Beidi, report to me immediately."

"Yes." Tan Ma gave Yang Zhen a military salute and turned to leave.

After waiting for Tan Ma's figure to disappear, Yang Zhen looked at the ditch in front of Qingbo Bridge with a sneer on his lips.

The trench he dug was arc-shaped as a whole, extending from the south side of Qingbo Bridge to the left side, wrapping the entire Qingbo Bridge in the middle.

There are a total of six trenches extending from the front of Qingbo Bridge to the front part of the trench.

Each trench is 30 meters apart, and the width of the trench is about 200 meters.

The outer edge of the trench at the front was also full of slanting spikes to prevent cavalry from charging.

He wanted to see how Beidi could pass him.

However, at this time, he couldn't help but secretly admire King Yan.

If King Yan hadn't been cautious and considered all possibilities.

Beidi will really launch an attack on the royal troops of Goryeo this time.

Waited for a day and a half.

On the evening of the next day, he indeed saw the mighty Beidi army through the telescope.

After some observation, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Obviously, Beidi has been holding back during this period, secretly accumulating strength.

This can be seen from the flintlock guns and more dexterous field artillery equipped by Beidi soldiers.

If it weren't for the rapid advancement of Yanzhou's firearms.

Facing this Beidi army with only the firearms from the Ningjin Dusi War, he really had to worry.

But now, he is obviously not afraid.

With the defense of the trenches, the Tongniu King's tent could not allow a single soldier to cross the Qingbo Bridge.

That night, Beidi soldiers set up camp.

Yang Zhen ordered the soldiers to enter the trenches and spend the night in the trenches to prepare for Beidi's night attack.

However, it was a peaceful night and Beidi did not launch an attack.

the next day.

In the camp of the Bronze Bull King's Tent, a man who looked like a Russian officer appeared on the battlefield with Ram.

Beidi decided to send troops to Goryeo, so Ivan sent this Russian officer to King Tongniu's tent to cooperate with King Tongniu's tent in fighting, and at the same time, in order to see with his own eyes the combat effectiveness of King Yan's army.

"It's not good, it's very bad." After observing the trench position for a while, Orsky frowned.

To his surprise, King Yan's army was able to lay out such sophisticated trenches.

Simply perfect.

Ram also frowned and said: "Obviously, King Yan has been prepared for our sneak attack for a long time, and now it is too late."

Looking ahead, he said: "However, no matter what it is, we must attack it this time."

Olsky naturally knew their mission this time, and he spread his hands to express his casualness.

Anyway, the person who died was not his, he was just giving advice.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Let the infantry attack first, destroy the thrust in front of the trench, and then let the cavalry charge."

Ram nodded, he thought so too.

These spurs driven into the ground were a nuisance and hindered cavalry charges.

After agreeing on this matter, he ordered his servants to charge forward.

"kill!"

Bursts of roars sounded, and the first batch of more than a thousand servants rushed towards the trench.

"Boom boom boom..."

While the ordinary soldiers charged, the artillery in the trench positions roared.

Grape bullets flew out of the muzzle and sprinkled onto the battlefield.

Under the influence of yellow gunpowder, current field artillery can shoot grapeshot nearly 800 meters.

But because the field of view is too far, the target is too small.

They still put the enemy within a distance of three to four hundred meters and bombarded them.

Long-range artillery fire will only occur when both sides' artillery destroys each other.

Under the bombardment of forty-eight field guns.

The charging servants kept falling into a pool of blood.

On the battlefield between the trenches and the camps, there are fewer and fewer soldiers.

However, nearly half of the servant soldiers still entered within 200 meters of the trench.

In the trench, the sentry responsible for observation has been reporting the distance of the enemy.

At this time, the captain of each squad began to slap the soldiers on the back, making them stand up and shoot.

"Bang bang bang..."

Ning Jinjun soldiers only exposed their heads and shoulders.

They held the loaded rifled gun flat, only about ten centimeters above the ground.

Pull the trigger, and with a burst of fire, the bullets fly towards the rushing servants.

After firing a shot, they handed the rifle to the soldiers behind them.

The soldier behind him handed him another rifle.

This was to maintain trench fire.

One soldier is responsible for shooting, and another soldier is responsible for loading ammunition.

Otherwise, all stop shooting and reload ammunition.

These short ten seconds are enough for the enemy to rush fifty or sixty meters.

"Bang bang bang..."

Gunfire continued, and the servant soldiers who rushed within 200 meters fell one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Beidi's artillery continued to sound.

One shell after another hit the trench, but the solid bullets that flew over hit the ravine of the trench and immediately lost their kinetic energy.

There was no way to cause casualties to the soldiers in the trenches.

Some soldiers even picked up solid bullets as trophies.

Yang Zhen looked at the entire battlefield. After all the servants fell, he nodded with satisfaction.

This is the first time that Ning Jin's army has used trenches to fight. So far, the effect seems to be good.

Compared to Yang Zhen, it was easy.

Ram's expression was solemn, which reminded him of the battle of Ningjin Dusi again.

He finally managed to pull up the Tongniu King's tent that had been crippled by King Yan's soldiers and horses, but he didn't want to make the same mistake again.

Obviously, attacking the trenches was just like when they attacked Ningjin Dusi's city.

However, he had to report to Mu Lehongzhen no matter what.

At the same time, it also allowed Orski to understand the tactics of King Yan's army.

So, he ordered his servants to launch two more charges.

The result was the same. These servants died on the battlefield before they could reach the trench.

Orsky had been observing the battlefield.

He noticed that some stray bullets actually hit an escaping servant soldier about three hundred meters away.

The opponent's artillery shells flew very far.

Even if the grapeshot hits soldiers within 400 meters, the remaining kinetic energy of the cannonball will cause the cannonball to continue to roll far away.

Shocked in his heart, he stopped Ram when he was about to launch his fourth round of charge.

"Withdraw your troops. It's meaningless to continue this battle. Damn it, our country in Russia is in big trouble." Orsky was worried.

He needed to get this information back to Kyiv.
