Chapter 309: Sweeping the World
Lincheng. Reading
Ma Jin was drinking in the tent, and in front of him, seven women were dancing.
These women were captured by him from the vicinity of Lincheng, and they were all slightly pretty women.
The army was always boring, and for Ma Jin, he never liked this kind of boredom.
So every time he marched and fought, he had to find some women to have fun.
It was for this reason that he was punished by Ma Xuan that time.
"Brother, didn't you tell me not to have fun in the army? Now I just want to have enough fun, and you turned into a ghost to punish me? Hahaha..." Ma Jin laughed non-stop.
At this time.
A general walked into the tent, looked at the dancing women, and came to Ma Jin and whispered a few words.
"What! The King of Yan is actually besieging Jincheng?" Ma Jin's face changed drastically.
"It's true, our scouts just sent back the news." The general said.
"How is it possible." Ma Jin looked incredulous.
In his opinion, it should be difficult for the Prince of Yan to enter Jinzhou. How could he reach Jincheng in just one month?
He had fought against the Xiliang army, and Murong Wuji was one of the best generals in Xiliang.
Moreover, even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, they could be caught in a month. How could the Prince of Yan reach Jincheng?
The intelligence sent by the scouts should be true.
"This Prince of Yan has repeatedly exceeded people's expectations." Ma Jin narrowed his eyes, "If so, we can't let him get his way."
At the moment, there are two things he is taboo about.
First, although he killed his brother Ma Xuan and took over the Ma family.
But maintaining the interests of the Ma family is unchanged.
If the Prince of Yan is really allowed to take back Jinzhou, the Prince of Yan will definitely make moves in Jinzhou to support his own forces.
And this is very disadvantageous to the Ma family, after all, the Ma family has always wanted to get involved in Jinzhou.
The second is the promise to Dou Wei. If he fails to fulfill it, his fate will be miserable.
Neither of these two points made him sit back and watch the King of Yan fight smoothly in Jinzhou.
That is why he secretly cooperated with Xiliang.
"Send someone to Linshui City to tell the Xiliang generals in the city about this and tell him that they can lead the troops to leave at any time and go to Jincheng." Ma Jin said.
The general agreed and turned to leave.
"Wait." Ma Jin called the general back again.
After a pause, he continued: "Send another person to contact the King of Yan, but in fact secretly spy on the situation in the King of Yan's army and send the news to the Xiliang people. Also, notify the Beidi people immediately, only they can stop the King of Yan!"
After speaking, he pointed to one of the women, "This reward is for you, you must do a good job for me."
The general was excited, "General, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Looking at the woman, he gradually approached, and dragged the woman out of the tent with a lewd smile.
...
Outside Jincheng, Lijiazhuang.
The battle between the soldiers of the palace and the Xiliang reinforcements gradually heated up.
The Xiliang cavalry charged at the Wangfu heavy infantry in the middle that was blocking their team.
Among these cavalry, a thousand Iron Harrier heavy cavalry charged back and forth.
Although the heavy infantry's plate armor was invulnerable to swords and spears, the Iron Harriers had a huge impact on the collision of people and horses.
There would still be casualties if they were knocked down head-on.
For a while, the position in the middle of the team became more chaotic.
But at this moment, the artillerymen took action.
Of course, they did not bombard the middle position.
Because this would accidentally hurt the Wangfu soldiers.
The artillery in the south directly bombarded the front of the Xiliang soldiers.
And the artillery in the north bombarded the tail of the Xiliang army.
In the bombardment of the artillery, the flintlock soldiers continued to advance steadily.
The sound of the cannon sounded.
The attention of the Xiliang soldiers was immediately distracted, and then they found the Wangfu soldiers who were encircling them.
Jili had to transfer some cavalry back from the middle of the team.
Among the 90,000 troops, there were 15,000 cavalry.
The front army was 10,000, and the rear army was 5,000.
Because the team was cut off, they had no idea what was happening behind them.
Now they could only try their best to break through the Wangfu army in front.
Otherwise, once they were surrounded, his 90,000 men would be finished.
"Boom boom boom..."
This time it was the roar of the Xiliang cavalry.
Six hundred Iron Harrier heavy cavalry were transferred from the central part.
They lined up in a straight line and headed towards the Wangfu soldiers' square formation.
The remaining Iron Harriers were still entangled with the Wangfu heavy infantry.
At this time.
Zhao Xu and Chang Wei rode to a slightly higher place.
Through a monocular telescope, they observed the situation on the battlefield.
Now the Xiliang army was completely surrounded by his army.
The middle part was the most chaotic at this time, and the Xiliang soldiers kept trying to open up the connection between the back and the front.
But his heavy infantry was not idle.
After cutting off the Xiliang army, they formed a tight formation, like a steel wall dividing the front and back of the Xiliang army.
The Xiliang soldiers kept attacking, but they couldn't shake it at all.
The light cavalry didn't have a good way to deal with them.
With each charge, the spearmen sandwiched between them would thrust their spears diagonally at them.
Only the Iron Harriers were fully armored, not afraid of the spears, and charged again and again.
But their numbers were small, and they could not change the situation.
Zhao Xu looked away from the middle position and saw the Iron Harriers rushing towards them.
These Iron Harriers were pointing directly at the flintlock formation.
"Let them taste the power of the flintlock." Chang Wei clenched his fists.
A distance of two or three hundred meters was just a breath for the cavalry.
The Iron Harriers heavy infantry of Xiliang ran very slowly at first, but suddenly accelerated at a distance of 100 meters.
At this moment, the six phalanxes of flintlocks that were charging at the Iron Harriers stopped.
They pointed their flintlocks at the Iron Harriers heavy cavalry.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
At the order of the general, the first row of flintlock soldiers opened fire.
More than a hundred of the galloping Iron Harriers heavy cavalry fell off their horses.
But because the iron chains tied their bodies to the horses.
They did not fall off the horses.
It was just that the horses were startled by the flames and noises of the flintlocks, and they ran back to the Xiliang army carrying their bodies.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The second row of flintlock soldiers continued to fire at this time, followed by the third row.
Under the continuous firepower of the flintlocks, the heavy armor of the Iron Harriers was like nothing.
The bodies of the Iron Harriers cavalry hung on the horses, and the horses carried them wandering aimlessly on the battlefield.
After three rounds of gunfire, only a hundred or so Iron Harriers were left and rushed to the flintlock soldiers.
At this time, the spearmen immediately raised their spears and stabbed the Iron Harriers.
Due to the great inertia of the Iron Harriers, the soldiers holding the spears had their knuckles cracked.
However, due to the cooperation of more than a dozen spearmen, who simultaneously pushed their spears towards the Iron Harriers, the impact of the Iron Harriers was alleviated and prevented from rushing into the flintlock soldiers.
After the Iron Harriers' momentum was stopped, a spearman used his spear to pick open the Iron Harriers' helmet, and immediately several spears stabbed the heads of the Xiliang cavalry.
The Xiliang soldiers screamed and fell backwards on their horses.
However, there were also spearmen in one array who failed to defend against the Iron Harriers in time, and the array was cut open by several Iron Harrier cavalry.
But after their momentum stopped, the spearmen immediately surrounded them and killed them.
After killing the Iron Harriers, the general reorganized the formation and headed towards the Xiliang army again.
