Become a feudal king from today

"It seems that if you want to break this formation, you can only fight fire with fire, or charge with a large-scale elite cavalry." Gu Le said.

These days of fighting with the Dasong army, they have been thinking about how to deal with the combination of artillery and matchlocks.

But they found that a liftable shield could not protect against matchlocks, and a heavy shield that could protect against matchlocks was very cumbersome.

Now it turns out that in the face of artillery, these heavy shields became an accomplice in taking the lives of their soldiers.

More people were killed by cannonballs than by heavy shields.

Wu Yan nodded. This conclusion was tantamount to saying that since Dasong's army was equipped with artillery and matchlocks and had mastered battle formations suitable for firearms, Xiliang was no longer Dasong's opponent.

"Now it seems that forming an alliance with Beidi is not necessarily a bad thing. Otherwise, we might not be able to stop the Northern Expedition." Wu Yan frowned.

At this time, the soldiers whose heavy shields were blown away by the artillery were defeated.

The soldiers turned around and fled into Xiancheng.

"Hahaha... Okay, good fight!"

In front of the camp, seeing the enemy's defeat, Zhao Heng put his hands in his hands and laughed.

In the first three days, they and the enemy soldiers in Xiancheng were evenly divided.

But in the last three days, they basically won more and lost less.

Yang Feng had a rare smile on his face.

He could see that the enemy troops in the city were really fighting with them.

But they really fell short.

At this time, he couldn't help but admire King Yan even more.

If it weren't for the firearms given by King Yan and the battle formations taught, how could the Dasong Forbidden Army be as powerful as it is today.

It's just a pity that the powerful army in this battle has learned the tactics of the Forbidden Army.

I've been doing the same thing these days.

The second prince laughed in agreement, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. In this Northern Expedition, the emperor will definitely go down in history."

When Zhao Heng heard this, his laughter that had just stopped started again.

Then, he said: "Father, after these six days of fighting, the other side has suffered more than 80,000 casualties. I thought that I no longer have to fight against them every day, so why not directly surround Xiancheng, launch an attack, and capture Xiancheng?" After all, they always lose. The elite must be exhausted and the remaining troops are vulnerable. "

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, very excited.

But seeing Yang Feng beside him, he couldn't help but ask, "What does General Yang think?"

Yang Feng said: "Since the enemy is willing to fight in the field and we have the upper hand, why not continue to fight and consume their troops, and wait until they dare not go out to fight anymore, and then lay siege to the city before it is too late, which can also reduce the casualties of Dasong soldiers."

"It's just that I don't want to wait any longer." Zhao Heng suddenly smiled, "We will surround Xiancheng now and attack the city tomorrow."

Yang Feng opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

He knew that all his decisions after leaving the border were contrary to the situation on the battlefield.

The emperor no longer trusted himself.

Zhao Heng's order was issued, and the soldiers took action immediately under the leadership of the general.

Like running water meeting a riverbank, they separated from the front of Xiancheng and immediately wrapped Xiancheng within it.

This scene naturally fell into Gu Le's eyes.

Looking at Wu Yan and Ma Jin, he said: "It's time to continue retreating to the north, otherwise we will be trapped in Xiancheng and our plan will fail."

Wu Yan nodded, even though they wanted to delay it for eight days.

But circumstances forced them to advance.

That night.

Suddenly, fire burst into the sky in Xian City.

Red light illuminated the Dashong camp in Xiancheng.

Just when the Dasong soldiers were attracted by the fire.

Suddenly the North Gate Suspension Bridge of Xiancheng was lowered.

A large number of black cavalry rushed out like a beast in the dark night.

They held torches and scimitars and fought their way north.

Behind the cavalry were a large number of Xiliang soldiers.

They were not eager to fight, they just ran behind the cavalry.

"Your Majesty, Xiliang soldiers and horses came out from the north gate and fled towards Yongzhou!"

Zhao Heng was wearing a thick fox fur, and the light from the fire in Xiancheng reflected the sky red, which naturally woke him up.

Like many soldiers and generals, he was wondering what happened in Xian City?

He even had some luck and hoped for a rebellion in the city.

Now that the general came to report, he immediately understood.

It turned out that this was a movement deliberately created by Xiliang in order to break out of the encirclement.

"Your Majesty, do you want to pursue us?" the general asked again.

"No need, it's pitch dark, how can we distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?" Zhao Heng yawned, "Order the soldiers to guard the camp strictly and enter the city tomorrow."

Even though he didn't understand warfare, he knew that it was impossible to pursue the enemy at night when he couldn't see his hands.

And even if they catch up, once they get into a melee, many people will be accidentally killed.

Generally, only the siege party will sneak attack on the city gate, or the defender team will risk their lives to break through the siege, and they will choose to do so at night.

There is no use chasing.

Yang Feng didn't say anything, but the second prince scolded: "Whose general are you? How come you don't even understand this, you loser!"

The general was startled and hesitated: "The last general, the last general is the general of the Han family."

When the second prince heard this, his face suddenly felt a little hot, and he shouted: "Go back if you don't want to and guard the camp."

Yang Feng smiled, turned and left.

The next day.

A burning smell filled the air.

The flames in Xian City disappeared, but there was still thick black smoke floating.

Yang Feng sent cavalry to investigate through the open north gate.

After confirming that there was no ambush, he ordered the cavalry to open the gates on all sides and let the army enter the city.

"Your Majesty, they burned down the granaries in the city." Yang Feng reported back to Zhao Heng after returning from inspection.

At this time, Zhao Heng was at the Ma family's residence, sitting in the pavilion by the pond. Opposite her was a voluptuous-looking woman, Xiao Shishi.

This time, he led the army in person, and he deliberately took advantage of her.

At first, he was worried about Yang Feng and the generals' dissatisfaction, so he hid it.

But after winning two games in a row, and now taking Xiancheng, he no longer had any scruples, and was quite proud that no one in the world could compete with me.

Even if he took the beauty to fight, so what?

He won!

"So, Xiancheng is now an empty city?" Zhao Heng asked indifferently.

"It seems so." Yang Feng said.

"What a cunning guy." Zhao Heng snorted coldly, "Then let the people quickly transport the food and grass."

Then he asked, "Is there any news from Yanzhou?"

"Your Majesty, it is said that the King of Yan is fighting with the Black Iron King's Tent of Beidi in Yanshan. This time, Beidi seems to have taken action on both the east and west sides." Yang Feng frowned.

"Really? Humph, Beidi is really arrogant. Send someone to tell the King of Yan to let him guard his four northern counties. Here, I will defeat Beidi." Zhao Heng said.

Now he is more and more convinced that the King of Yan can fight, just because of the artillery.

"Your Majesty is right, who can defeat the Northern Di people except you?" Xiao Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zhao Heng was even more happy and laughed.

Yang Feng glanced at Xiao Shishi, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

If it weren't for these charming women, the emperor would not have neglected state affairs and indulged in pleasure.

Although the emperor has made some good moves during this period, it is difficult to change the old habits after many years.

"Your Majesty, although there are some words you don't like to hear, I still have to say that this time we must be cautious when we go north." Yang Feng bowed.

Zhao Heng heard the smile disappear, just replied with a neutral "I know", and waved to let Yang Feng leave.

After Yang Feng left, Zhao Heng grabbed Xiao Shishi's hand and held it to his mouth, "Did you bring the things?"

Xiao Shishi's eyes were as charming as silk, "Of course."

After that, she poured a glass of wine for Zhao Heng, and a ball of red powder dipped into the glass with her nails.

Zhao Heng chuckled twice. Years of drinking and sex had already hollowed out his body, and he gradually became a little powerless.

But Xiao Shishi's unique powder could always restore his masculinity.

After drinking the wine, he picked up Xiao Shishi and walked towards the inner house...

Rest for a day.

The next morning.

The central army set out again and headed for Yongzhou.
