Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 306 A strange plan

"Hurry up!"

The pontoon was laid on the water, and the generals immediately urged the soldiers to enter the city gate and throw sandbags one by one into the moat. ReadМ

At this time, the Xiliang generals reacted and immediately organized Xiliang soldiers to bring rolling logs and throw stones at them.

Chang Wei faced this situation during the sand table rehearsal.

He immediately asked the artillery to adjust its angle to bombard the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall.

At the same time, he said to Qin Shan: "Let the fusiliers come forward."

This time he besieged the city on all sides, and his purpose was not to let go of any Xiliang soldiers.

So even if you use a flintlock gun, you don't have to worry about the flintlock gun being exposed.

After receiving his order, Qin Shan immediately asked the fusiliers to line up in three large horizontal lines and come to the moat.

"Load!" he ordered.

The order was passed on, and the fusiliers quickly loaded the ammunition.

Then one by one they pointed their guns at the Xiliang soldiers on the city wall.

"Three-stage shooting, fire!" Qin Shan continued to order.

"Bang bang bang..."

Flame and smoke billowed from the muzzles of the flintlock muskets.

The lead bullets flew towards the Xiliang soldiers at the top of the city, and a small cluster of blood mist suddenly burst out from these Xiliang soldiers.

"Second row, shoot!"

The first row of fusiliers finished firing and immediately retreated to the back of the column.

The second row of soldiers stepped forward and continued shooting.

Then came the third row, and then the original first row of soldiers moved forward again.

Continuous firing on the city walls.

Under the firepower of the fusiliers, the Xiliang soldiers were immediately suppressed and unable to raise their heads.

It was not completely bright yet, so they could not see clearly what the Yanzhou soldiers were holding.

Only bursts of shining fire could be seen.

They couldn't even hear it over the roar of the artillery.

But every time the light rang out, one of their soldiers was killed.

A Xiliang general squatted behind the wall, trembling with fear.

There was only a "呲" sound, and another Xiliang soldier fell in front of him with a muffled groan.

There was a hole in the soldier's chest armor, and blood continued to flow from the hole.

This scene made him even more shocked. He squatted and refused to stand up.

Other Xiliang soldiers gradually did not dare to approach the city wall.

They could see clearly that as long as they got close to the city wall, they would definitely die.

When the Xiliang soldiers were suppressed, the royal soldiers at the city gate were still throwing sandbags.

Half an hour later, the last sandbag collapsed, revealing the panicked Xiliang soldiers in the doorway.

The royal soldiers who threw sandbags were exhausted.

They didn't have the strength to fight anymore, so they got out of the way.

Behind them, heavy infantry wearing plate armor and holding long swords had already lined up.

During this rapid march, only eight thousand heavy infantrymen wearing plate armor followed.

Moreover, when they were marching, they took off their plate armor and carried it on their backs for the convenience of marching.

When they arrived at the foot of Xin City, they put it on again.

Seeing the city gate open, they shouted "kill" and rushed towards the Xiliang soldiers.

Because they wear heavy armor, they have always been the main force in attacking fortresses.

With defenses that are inferior to swords, they often have the courage to charge forward and face their enemies head-on.

The Xiliang soldiers looked at each other, neither moving forward nor backward.

At this moment, the heavy infantry rushed in and slashed with their swords.

The Xiliang soldiers also raised their swords and slashed, but they only heard a soft sound of a metal clang.

The soldiers in front of them remained motionless.

At this time, the long swords of the Yanzhou soldiers penetrated through the gaps in their armor.

Suddenly, the Xiliang soldiers in the front row screamed and fell down.

The heavy infantry did not stop. They continued to charge forward like wild bulls, pushing the Xiliang soldiers back through the door.

The heavy infantry followed and quickly occupied the city gate.

More soldiers rushed into Xincheng.

"kill……"

The four city gates were occupied, and the royal soldiers rushed into the city with roars.

Facing the large number of Yanzhou soldiers, the Xiliang soldiers who were frightened at the city wall were defeated like a mountain.

When the sun rose above the willow trees, the entire Xincheng was taken over by the soldiers of the royal palace.

"Hahaha..." Chang Wei laughed heartily as he rode through the doorway.

Zhao Xu smiled, Hengshan County and Xincheng were now connected by a line.

He successfully took control of Xin County.

As for other small counties, there are often only a few hundred or thousands of Xiliang soldiers stationed there, so there is nothing to fear.

Just take it off slowly.

"Stop laughing now, send people back immediately and ask the people to transport grain and grass to Xincheng." Zhao Xu said.

Once the news of the capture of Xincheng came out.

Murong Wuji, who had his army outside, would definitely close the gates of Jincheng to prevent his surprise attack.

The Xiliang army outside must still be led in circles by Liu Tan at this time and cannot rush back in time.

Therefore, now is the best time to transport grain and grass.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei immediately called Captain Tanma and ordered him to send soldiers to Feihu Pass in Hengshan County to mobilize civilians to transport grain and grass.

After Captain Tanma left, Chang Wei said: "Your Highness, upon learning that Xincheng was lost, Murong Wuji must have realized that he had fallen into a trap and would defend Jincheng tightly, so that it would be difficult to fight in Jincheng next time."

"Well, Murong Wuji would think so, but we won't attack Jincheng next time." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei's pupils dilated slightly and he said: "Your Highness, the general has guessed what your highness is going to do next. Please let the general say it first and see if it is right."

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile.

"Surround the area for reinforcements!" Chang Wei blurted out.

"Yes, we have made some progress after all." Zhao Xu laughed loudly, "Next, we have to surround the place and call for reinforcements."

The number of soldiers and horses in Jincheng is definitely not comparable to that of Xincheng. After all, Xincheng is only the administrative seat of Dongmian County and cannot be compared with Jincheng, which is regarded as the lifeblood of Xiliang.

Therefore, attacking Jincheng cannot be won in one or two days.

It is possible to fight for several months.

As time goes by, when the Xiliang army returns to support, they will be attacked from both sides.

From advantage to disadvantage.

After thinking of this, he decided to feint again.

Besieged Jincheng.

After Xiliang's 90,000 troops arrive, they will set up an ambush and annihilate this Xiliang army, and then slowly take over Jincheng.

Soon after the army entered the city.

Then soldiers came to report that they saw Xiliang scouts on the city wall.

When the Xiliang scouts saw the soldiers of King Yan and the flag of King Yan all over the city wall, they immediately headed in the direction of Jincheng.

Jinju and Yanzhou are similar in their terrain, long from north to south and short from east to west.

Xincheng is to the east of Jincheng, and the distance between them is only two days' journey.

After the Xiliang scouts arrived in Jincheng, they immediately informed Murong Wuji of the news that Xincheng had been captured.

At this moment, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Murong Wuji's back.

There were even slight beads of sweat on his forehead.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly sat down and said, "I fell into the trap. This is a strategy to attack the east and attack the west. The Yan King's army in Huaicheng is just a bait."

I thought that King Yan's army was in Xincheng, two days away.

Perhaps he was heading towards Jincheng now. He felt frightened in his heart and immediately shouted: "Put up the suspension bridge immediately and close the city gate tightly!"
