Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 434: Trapped in Xiancheng

Yongcheng.

Mule Hongzhen rode through the battlefield full of gunpowder smoke.

Every time the horse's hoof fell, there would be a slight "stain" sound.

At this time, the land north of Yongcheng had been dyed red by the blood of soldiers from both sides.

The blood gathered in the low-lying areas, forming shallow pools of blood.

"Father Khan, compared with the battle of Ningjin Dusi, our Beidi soldiers suffered more casualties this time." Temuta's eyes wandered around the battlefield.

The soldiers left behind by the Dasong army were killed and wounded last night in their artillery bombardment, infantry fighting and the final heavy cavalry charge.

Now the battlefield is full of the bodies of soldiers wearing silver armor.

Although they, Beidi, undoubtedly won.

But they lost more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 50,000 infantry in this battle.

This does not include the casualties in the Xiliang and Ma Jin armies.

After counting, the Dasong Northern Expedition Army left behind about 140,000 dead and wounded soldiers.

In terms of the number of casualties, they are not very different.

Unlike the Ningjin Dusi, they won almost one-sidedly. They only lost 80,000 troops in the whole war and annihilated 400,000 Beidi troops.

"It is said that the imperial guards who went on this expedition were equipped with armor and firearms made by the King of Yan, and they were also trained by the generals of the King of Yan." Mule Hongzhen's eyes stayed on a dying and groaning imperial guard soldier.

"This time, they caused a lot of casualties to our Beidi." Mule Hongzhen continued, while taking the bow and arrow from the general beside him, pulling the bow to shoot at the imperial guard soldiers.

After a "whoosh" sound, the arrow hit the neck of the imperial guard soldier, and the imperial guard soldier's head dropped.

"My father's archery is still invincible in the world." Temu Ta patted the horse at the right time, and then he said, "That's right, the generals said that the servants suffered a lot from the armor of the imperial guards, but even so, our actual loss was only more than 10,000 cavalry, while they lost the elite imperial guards."

For him, the servants died, and it was insignificant.

The imperial guards of Dasong were different.

This battle made them see clearly that only the imperial guards could fight them head-on.

These powerful tribes’ soldiers were not in high morale and were not as well-equipped as the imperial guards.

I’m afraid that the soldiers sent by the powerful tribes of Dasong were not their elite at all.

The powerful tribes’ soldiers were only fit to fight the newly recruited Xiliang soldiers and Ma Jin soldiers.

“Well, although Yang Feng escaped, I’m afraid that the imperial guards in his hands were only 20,000 or 30,000, and there were not many powerful tribes’ soldiers left. Now that they have gone to Xiancheng, we can just besiege the city with a large army.” Muller Hongzhen said.

Now the food supply of the Dasong army was cut off.

For the Dasong soldiers in Xiancheng, he only needed to cut off their food and water.

He believed that within a month, the Dasong soldiers in the city would have to come out to surrender.

“Yes, father Khan.” Temuta’s face was full of smug smiles.

They were sure to win this battle in the northwest.

After feeling proud for a while, he suddenly thought of the war in the east. "I don't know if Ulanba has gone south now. If we can successfully take Yanzhou at the same time, Dasong will be in our Beidi pocket."

Mule Hongzhen looked to the east, and his eyes seemed to travel thousands of miles.

"Ulanba has always been cautious and should not make mistakes. Moreover, there are Goryeo troops to help. How can the Yan King's troops stop the four kings and Goryeo?" The war in the northwest is going well, and Mule Hongzhen is full of confidence.

Temuda nodded and followed his father to Yongcheng.

At this time, Gule, Wuyan, and Ma Jin were waiting for them at the gate of the city.

"You should reorganize your troops immediately and follow our Beidi army to Xiancheng. The war in the northwest will only be fought in this battle." Mule Hongzhen raised his hand to let the three people not to salute.

"Yes, Khan." Gule and the other two were extremely respectful.

This war made them realize that without Beidi, they would not be the opponent of Dasong, and they would only perish.

Now they can only follow Beidi closely.

The order was issued.

The Beidi generals, Xiliang generals and Ma Jin went back separately.

An hour later, the army marched towards Xiancheng.

At the same time as the Beidi army set out, Yang Feng was leading the remaining soldiers and horses to march quickly towards Xiancheng.

Although cutting off one arm gave the Northern Expedition Army time to escape from the battlefield of Yongcheng.

But he knew the speed of the Beidi cavalry. If they did not march quickly, they would be caught up by Beidi before they arrived in Xiancheng.

It was just that the battle had just ended and the soldiers had no time to rest.

During the rapid march, soldiers kept falling behind. When they arrived in Xiancheng, only 120,000 to 130,000 soldiers and horses were left.

"General Yang, you are finally here."

Yang Feng led Dou Xiao and others to arrive, and Zhao Heng immediately came out to meet them.

After arriving in Xiancheng, he sent cavalry to investigate.

The Beidi cavalry coming out of Xiaoguan really controlled all the roads to the south.

A large number of Beidi cavalry roamed in Qinzhou and attacked Dasong's scouts, who were unable to send the news to Wuguan.

Hearing this news, he felt like he was hit by a hammer.

In this situation, they could only be trapped in Xiancheng.

Thinking that there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses coming with him, and there were so many Beidi soldiers and horses, even if they defended to the death, they would not be able to hold on for a few days, he could not help but despair.

Now, Yang Feng has withdrawn from Yongzhou, how can he not be happy.

Not to mention that Xiancheng has more troops and can hold on for a longer time.

With this veteran, he is more at ease.

The second prince is also beside Zhao Heng, and he is also surprised.

Now he dares not ridicule Yang Feng anymore.

The next battle still depends on this veteran.

"Your Majesty, hey..." Yang Feng stood up, tilted his head and sighed.

He could see the joy of Zhao Heng and the second prince, but he was not happy at all.

Ao Bing, his beloved general, almost died. In the battle of Yongcheng, the Northern Expedition army suffered almost average losses.

Although they are united now, they can only defend Xiancheng.

Zhao Heng couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Yang Feng like this.

Along the way, I was indeed dazzled by the victory and ignored the veteran.

He said: "Old General Yang, if it's my fault, then you can get up. All the troops and horses in Xian City are under the control of the old general. Anyone who dares to disobey the general's order will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing this, Yang Feng felt a little comforted in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, can you send someone to Wuguan to ask for help, and also ask for help from His Highness King Yan?"

"Gone, gone, it's just that the Beidi cavalry is running amok in Qinzhou. It's really hard to predict whether they can get the news." Zhao Heng looked decadent.

Yang Feng sighed slightly again, and then he immediately cheered up.

After all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. For him, it is more important now to strengthen Xiancheng's defense.

Only in this way can there be hope for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent his generals to count the grain and grass, repair the city, and at the same time transport the only artillery in the army up the city wall.

In the Battle of Yongcheng, they lost more than half of their artillery, and some of them were abandoned during the rapid march.

Only seventy-three pieces of artillery were brought back.

The Forbidden Army who fled with Zhao Heng only carried fifty-two artillery pieces.

There are a total of 130 artillery pieces in Xiancheng, but this number is no longer as good as Beidi.

After receiving Yang Feng's order, the generals immediately performed their duties.

Even Dou Xiao and Han Yun did not dare to disobey.

This time they saw the veteran's methods.

Now that they have the emperor's order, they dare not provoke Yang Feng.

It's been a busy night.

The next morning, the rising sun disperses the darkness.

The soldiers guarding the top of Xiancheng saw dust flying on the road to Yongzhou.

The Beidi army has arrived.
