Become a feudal king from today

"Your Majesty, we lost five thousand servants!"

Night gradually enveloped the land, making the woods on both sides of the mountain road even darker.

On the mountain road five miles away from the bastion, the white tents were like a long dragon extending to the north.

"Damn King Yan, I really want to eat his flesh and drink his blood." When Enke heard this, his eyes turned red instantly.

Gordan sighed, "Your Majesty, this time we suffered a loss from King Yan's new firearms. Should we report this to the Khan and stop the attack?"

"No!" Enke was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Khan gave us a fatal order this time. Even if we cannot take these fortresses, our Black Iron King's tent must contain King Yan's soldiers and horses here and protect them. Ulanba landed in Liaojun."

Gordan nodded solemnly.

It seems that even if King Yan knows sorcery this time, they will fight to the end in a bloody battle.

In this case, they will do whatever it takes.

"Prepare the powder keg for a night attack." Enke said after frowning in thought for a while.

In the Battle of Tongguan, King Yan's soldiers and horses used this method to blow up the city wall of Tongguan and gain entry.

This method inspired Xiliang and also inspired them in Beidi.

However, the visibility is good during the day, and the soldiers carrying the gunpowder barrels will definitely be hit by King Yan's artillery.

But at night, the night covered everything, and it was impossible for King Yan's artillery to see in the dark.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing this, the wolves shouted loudly.

Although they suffered heavy losses during the day, they had no other choice in this war.

…

"Better up your spirits at night, the Beidi people might launch a night attack at night."

On the fortress, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked into the depths of Qingfeng Mountain. In the telescope, there was a little light of fire where Beidi was stationed.

Putting away the telescope, Chang Wei suddenly shouted to the general guarding the city.

Zhao Xu nodded and agreed with Chang Wei's statement.

War is not a child's play and they must consider every possibility.

"Continuing to defend passively like this means we are still being led by Beidi. We can't spend our main energy here." Thinking of something, Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and his voice was as cold as winter snow.

He had to admit one thing, Beidi Khan Mullahon really had a vicious vision.

The Yanshan Pass in the north of Yanjun is very important, because once it is broken through, the Beidi cavalry can attack Yancheng directly.

Therefore, Mullahon really let the Black Iron King hold his tent here.

In this way, they could contain him while concealing their true purpose - to attack from the sea.

However, Mulehong really would not have thought that Zhao Xu would no longer defend in this war pedantically, but would adopt an offensive strategy.

After all, offense is sometimes the best defense.

At the same time, a surprise attack is also the easiest to break the enemy's plan.

"Your Highness wants to take the initiative to attack?" Chang Wei asked.

"That's right." Zhao Xu looked at Qingfeng Mountain, "The bastion is just to prevent the Beidi people from entering Yan County, but we must not be lazy just because we have the bastion. If we defeat the Black Iron King's tent quickly, we will have more sufficient troops to deal with it. Beidi soldiers and horses coming from the sea."

Chang Wei nodded slowly.

Zhao Xu continued: "They can attack at night, and we can also attack at night. Find a guide who is familiar with Qingfeng Mountain, lead the soldiers into the mountain at night, and wait for an opportunity to attack."

There seemed to be a light flashing in Chang Wei's eyes.

He was also tired of always being attacked by the Beidi people and then passively fighting back.

This time, he wanted to let the Beidi people understand that the days when they attacked while the four northern counties passively defended were gone forever.

After talking about this, the two went down the fortress wall and Chang ordered Qin Shan to keep vigil tonight.

By midnight.

Qin Shan, who was patrolling the city wall, suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps.

Breaking into a cold sweat, he shouted: "Enemy attack!"

"Lighting oil." The soldiers on the city wall were startled, and the sleepy man immediately opened his eyes wide.

Some soldiers picked up bows and arrows and fired flaming arrows into the ditch outside the bastion.

This is a trench that was dug when the bastion was built to defend against the enemy. At this time, the trench was filled with kerosene, and when arrows fell, a wall of fire rose up.

When the fire illuminated the surrounding space, a figure suddenly appeared in a corner not covered by the flames. A soldier shouted: "There is someone down there!"

Suddenly, soldiers with roller crossbows on the city wall kept shooting at that place, and screams were heard one after another.

Although the artillery is very powerful, the pulley crossbow is more flexible for enemy soldiers who come to the lower part of the city wall, so there is also a certain proportion of crossbowmen on the city wall.

In the arrows, a figure fell down, and another wave of figures ran over.

Qin Shan frowned, picked up a torch and threw it down. The firelight illuminated the dense crowd of Beidi servants.

"Throw away the bombs, quickly!" Qin Shan shouted.

They guessed correctly this time. The Beidi people were so cunning that they attacked at night in order to avoid being targeted by artillery.

After receiving his order, the mortar soldier directly lit the fuse of the explosive shell and threw it down. There was no need to use a mortar at this distance.

"Rumble!" sounded.

This immediately alarmed everyone in the city. Zhao Xu, who had just fallen asleep, immediately got up and climbed onto the city wall. At this time, there were shouts of killing coming from the city.

At the same time, the sound of bows and arrows piercing the sky came from the sky, and Beidi's archers also hid in the darkness and shot.

"Throw the explosive bombs under the city wall." Zhao Xu shouted immediately after getting on the city wall.

The first thing he saw was Beidi soldiers digging into the city wall.

There is no doubt that their purpose was to bury the powder keg under the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The explosion sounded again.

The corpses piled up layer after layer below the city.

"What kind of wall is this? Why can't it be dug?" Withstanding the attack on the city wall, the Beidi soldiers below the city were already having a hard time.

But what made the Beidi soldiers even more desperate was that sparks kept coming out when their axes hit the city wall, but they only damaged a little bit after cutting for a long time.

The battle lasted for an hour.

In the end, the Beidi soldiers only left a hole as big as a bowl in the city wall, leaving corpses on the ground and evacuated.

Returning to the camp, they immediately informed Enke of the situation.

"Tougher than iron! This is nonsense." Enke was furious. "You are making excuses for your failure. Come, drag out and kill all the people who came back."

Then he Gordan said, "Stop another thousand people from burying powder barrels!"

Amidst the cries of injustice, the soldiers who had escaped were dragged down, and then there was a burst of screams.

Enke's face turned frosty. He wanted to tell the next attacker not to come back unless they succeeded.

However, the second attack also ended quickly, and the soldiers who escaped had the same answer as the soldiers who came back once.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. There seems to be something strange in the fortress." Gordan frowned.

Maybe it was an excuse for the first wave of people to say this, but it would be strange for the second wave to say this too.

"Damn it!" Enke almost broke his teeth.

He did not allow a third wave of attacks to be launched, but the strategy of blowing up the city wall with a powder keg could not be implemented, which was really annoying.
