Chapter 489 Attacking the Tsarist Kingdom

Hua Rong already knew about the Tsarist Kingdom's surprise attack on Liang's border town, and he was very angry, but without Wu Tian's order, he dared not mobilize troops to the Tsarist Kingdom to take revenge.

Just when he didn't know how to deal with this matter, Liu Tang happily ran in, knelt down in front of him, handed him a letter and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter sent by His Majesty."

Hearing this, Hua Rong felt that the situation was serious, and when he opened the letter, he felt joyful.

"Liu Tang, Your Majesty said in the letter that since the Tsarist Kingdom attacked our Liang Kingdom secretly, our Liang Kingdom must be polite to him. Let us immediately lead the army and capture a few cities of the Tsarist Kingdom first to see what their attitude is. Then, move on to the next step.”

Hearing this, Liu Tang rubbed his fists and said happily, "My lord, I have been waiting for this order for a long time. If these crazed tsarists killed innocent people in our country of Liang, if we dare not fight back!" , How can I hang around here in the future. I will lead the [-] vanguards to fight first."

Said that Liu Tang was about to leave, but was stopped by Hua Rong.

"Don't leave in a hurry. We have to discuss this matter. Although His Majesty asked us to occupy several cities in the Tsarist Kingdom, he didn't say where to occupy them. This is to give us the initiative. Therefore, our battle must be Dasheng, this way it can be a good sign, and secondly, it can also set an example for the brothers."

Liu Tang touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty is right, but I was negligent. Then you say, how many cities should we capture in the Tsarist Kingdom?"

Hua Rong ordered someone to bring up the map, opened it and looked carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the three cities of Ala City, Ma Ye City and Tuni City opposite Yunhai City.

"Look, Liu Tang, these three cities are very close to us. At the same time, this is also the main passage to the eastern part of the Tsarist Kingdom. If we occupy these three cities and hold them, the subsequent army will be able to attack the Tsarist Kingdom along here. east."

Hua Rong pointed to the map and said.

Liu Tang looked at the distances between the three cities on the map. Each city is ten kilometers apart. If there is an emergency, it is a good choice to be able to respond to each other in a short time.

"Okay, let's take these three cities."

"Well, the king will give you another 10 troops, so that you have enough troops to capture the city. In addition, you will be equipped with [-] red cannons and [-] howitzers. This way you can win the battle quickly."

Liu Tang nodded. Now that he has 15 troops and thousands of cannons, taking these three cities will not be a problem at all.

……

After Soningsi massacred the border towns of Liang State, he returned to the Tsarist Kingdom and reported the matter to the Tsarist.

The Tsar also gave him a reply, asking him to monitor the actions of Liang Guo and implement it according to the original plan.

Just when Soningsi was about to send spies out of the city, he suddenly heard a loud noise.

Then a soldier ran in, knelt down in front of him and kowtowed and said, "Lieutenant General, it's not good. General Liang Liu Tang led 15 horses. With the assistance of thousands of artillery pieces, he has already broken through the city of Ala. Now they go straight to the city. Ma Ye City."

As soon as the words were finished, another soldier rushed in and knelt in front of Soningsi: "Lieutenant General, it's not good, Ma Ye City was captured by Liang Jun, and now they are going straight to Tuni City!"

Soningsi was surprised. Originally, he thought Liang State would capture small border cities at most, but he didn't expect that they would capture big cities as soon as they took action, and it was the main road leading to the eastern region.If these places are occupied by Liang Guo, they can follow the avenue and fight westward to enter the eastern core area.

Thinking of this, Soningsi's back broke out in cold sweat.

He began to feel that the tsar's decision to anger Liang was very stupid.

But now is not the time to complain about this. He is currently the highest commander in the eastern region, and he should be responsible for this matter now.If he is able to handle this matter well, it may cause even greater turmoil!
"Quickly, gather troops and horses to follow me to have a look."

Sonningsi issued a transfer order, except for the 10 people in his headquarters, not many people responded.

Although he is currently the supreme commander in the eastern region, the generals in the million-strong army only obey the orders of the general and mobilize the army as a lieutenant general, neither qualification nor position is enough.

Sonning was anxious, and Yi Sitan led 10 troops from his headquarters to join him.

"It's a good thing you're here, Istan. If you don't come, I don't know what to do."

Yi Sitan smiled and said: "I know that Liang Guo will definitely retaliate after you attack, so I gathered all the troops in the headquarters in advance to prepare for the attack. We have no way to mobilize the other troops. Now we are left with you and me." There are 150 artillery pieces in our department, and you should also have 150 artillery pieces. We will concentrate our [-] artillery pieces to face Liu Tang."

"Although there is no guarantee that Liu Tang can be driven out, it shouldn't be a big problem to prevent him from going deep into the Tsarist Kingdom."

Sonningsi nodded, and immediately led the troops to Mud City with Yi Sitan.

At this time, Liu Tangzheng led an army to gather under Tuni City.

The guard on the castle was already dead when he was attacked by the first artillery, and the remaining soldiers were hiding in the rock under the leadership of the young general Cartier.

Seeing them resisting so tenaciously, Liu Tang became even more excited.

"Concentrate the artillery, blow the gate of the castle open for me, and then rush in to occupy the castle!"

Liang Guo soldiers loaded all the red cannons and howitzers with ammunition and aimed at the castle.

After another round of shelling, Tuni City will definitely not be able to defend it.

Cartier also knew very well in his heart that this time, he couldn't hold on to anything.

At this moment, a spy ran up to Liu Tangma, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "General, the tsarist deputy general Soningsi and the partial general Istan led an army of 20 and [-] artillery pieces from the east to support Tu. Nicheng is about ten miles away from us."

When Liu Tang heard Suoningsi's name, a strong murderous look suddenly radiated from his eyes.

He sneered: "Okay, the culprit will come to the door himself, saving me from looking for him."

"General Huang Xin, you command half of the troops and [-] artillery pieces here to continue attacking Tuni City. I will personally lead the other half of the troops and [-] artillery pieces to face Soningsi."

Huang Xin nodded.

Liu Tang divided half of the troops and [-] artillery pieces and headed straight to the east of Tumu City, and occupied the high ground to build a military position and artillery setup before Soningsi.

By the time Sonningsi and Yi Sitan arrived, the advantage had already been lost, and their troops were also exhausted.
