Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 428 Northwest Horn

Anseong Port. read

Ulanba looked at the more than 300 warships moored in the port with a sneer on his lips.

His father Khan Mulhongzhen sent news from the northwest to the south. He immediately asked the Beidi soldiers stationed in Ancheng to make preparations and prepare to board a ship to Liaojun, detour to the south of Yanguan, and capture Yanguan in a north-south attack.

Of course, it would be best if the Black Iron Guards and the Yuan family could successfully capture the south gate of Yanguan from the inside.

It's just that the Yuan family's failure last time also made them, Beidi, wary.

The Yuan family was just the icing on the cake in this war, not the key.

The 300,000 Beidi troops attacking from the north and the south and the artillery they carried this time were their real assets.

"King Yan, you Dasong in the northwest are destined to be defeated, and you will die in my hands and become my future Khan."

In the cold wind, a silver wolf head on the battleship fluttered in the wind.

This is the flag of his king's tent, the Snow Wolf king's tent.

"Your Majesty, these three hundred warships are enough to transport 100,000 troops and horses. After sending the Beidi army to Liaojun, these warships will come back and send my Goryeo warriors to Liaojun to capture Yan Pass with the Beidi army. ." The Korean general next to Ulanba looked respectful.

In order to transport as many people as possible, Goryeo built basically large ships this time.

This ship has three floors and can carry up to 500 soldiers.

Three hundred large ships are enough to transport 100,000 people.

Ulanba nodded and looked at the tall ship docked at the pier.

Goryeo used to be a vassal state of Dasong and learned from Dasong. Naturally, this building was also learned from Dasong.

But now, it has become his weapon in Beidi's attack on Dasong.

"Take a boat and go south in three days." Ulanba set the time for going south.

When the generals around him heard this, they all agreed.

At this moment, thirty miles away from Anseong Port, a sail warship was watching there.

On the high watchtower of the battleship, a soldier observed the movement in the port with a telescope.

On the deck, Zhou Yi and Gong Ying, the captain of the battleship Yanjun, looked up at the watchtower from time to time.

Not long after, the naval soldier slid down the mast and told the two of them what he had observed.

"Are they already loading up?" Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, and there are also artillery being carried onto the ship." The soldier continued.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Continue to observe."

"Beidi spent a lot of money to go south this time, building both ships and cannons. It's a pity that in front of our warships, they are destined to become the food of the sharks in the sea." Gong Ying sneered again and again, speaking very confidently.

His confidence doesn't come out of nowhere.

These days, they tested the combat capabilities of these twelve sail warships at sea.

First of all, compared with a building ship, the speed of a sail warship compared with a building ship at sea is like a six-year-old child running against an adult.

Secondly, these twelve warships are not equipped with ordinary artillery, but with specialized naval guns.

When building warships, the Bingzhan Division built naval guns according to King Yan's requirements.

Compared with ordinary artillery, the length of naval guns is obviously longer than ordinary city defense artillery and field guns.

The increase in length increases the firing distance of the artillery.

Moreover, the bores of these artillery pieces were all machined by hydraulic boring machines, so their range was even longer.

They have tested that these naval guns can fly shells up to ten miles.

However, to exert its maximum power, it still needs to be within 2,500 meters.

For them, this distance is enough.

Zhou Yi is not as relaxed as Gong Ying.

This time King Yan will place the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Although he knew that their warships were far superior to Goryeo, he did not dare to be careless at all until he won the final victory.

After listening to Gong Ying talking for a while, he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Next, he will wait for the order from King Yan.

…

Yongcheng.

Four hundred thousand Northern Expedition troops have surrounded this place.

Outside the four city walls are endless white tents.

At this moment, the roar of the artillery was like thunder.

Cannonballs hit the gate of Yongcheng one after another.

It’s just that all the gates of Yongcheng were filled with sandbags.

Even after the city gate was blown to pieces, the Northern Expedition army still could not enter the city.

Zhao Heng was sitting in the tent in the south, feeling a little bored.

Victory is certainly gratifying, but along the way, victory has been too easy, making the war seem a bit monotonous.

"Father, Dasong has such sharp weapons as artillery, and the conquest of Beidi will be around the corner in the future." The second prince accompanied Zhao Heng and flattered the emperor.

He reminded the emperor of his existence all the time.

The third prince could never become the emperor.

At present, only the deposed prince can compete with him in the court.

And now that he has gone on a personal expedition with the emperor and won successive victories, this is an achievement that he can talk about after he returns.

He deposed the prince and only served as a prisoner of the country. How could he compare with himself?

Thinking of this, he felt that the throne was beckoning to him.

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and finally showed strong interest.

A small Xiliang plus Ma Jin really doesn't stand a chance.

The second prince's words aroused his extravagant hopes that he had not dared to think about before.

If Beidi can be pacified, he, Zhao Heng, will be written into the annals of history and become an eternal sage.

And it was a temptation he couldn't refuse.

"If we take Yongcheng this time, we will definitely attack Beidi." Zhao Heng looked firm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng suddenly walked over quickly, his face as gloomy as water.

"Your Majesty, we must retreat to Wuguan immediately, otherwise it will be too late." Yang Feng said loudly.

The second prince sneered, "Old General Yang, do you bother me every time you say this? This Northern Expedition is going so smoothly, but you have repeatedly interfered with it. What are your intentions?"

Yang Feng was too lazy to pay attention to the second prince now. He said: "Your Majesty, the detective horses sent out rarely come back. Even if they do come back, they don't find anything. There must be something wrong. I'm afraid Beidi has stationed troops in the north of Yongzhou. This It was a trap set by them.”

The second prince shook his head, looking like Yang Feng was hopeless, "Xiliang's cavalry has always been better than our Dasong cavalry. It's not surprising that they were attacked by Xiliang's cavalry."

"General Yang said it was ridiculous that Beidi was stationing troops in the north of Yongzhou. The north of Yongzhou is the Jin River. Can the people from Beidi swim across?"

Zhao Heng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, finding it very funny.

He was about to reprimand Yang Feng.

At this time, a detective horse suddenly arrived in a hurry.

Although it was winter, Tan Ma was sweating profusely at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the Beidi army was discovered twenty miles away to the north. Their numbers are so large that it is difficult to estimate!"

Tan Ma's words immediately made everyone sweat with fear.

Zhao Heng trembled, "How is it possible? How could Beidi come from the north?"

Yang Feng's face was ashen, it was too late now.

How could this 400,000-strong army outrun Beidi's cavalry?

Yongcheng city head.

Gule looked to the north, and he heard the sound of a horn faintly in the wind.

This horn sound was very familiar to him. It came from Beidi.
