Chapter 552: Divide

"Hahaha..."

When Mo Yu was sighing, Chang Wei's hearty laughter came.

Although he stayed in the general's mansion, he had been watching the battle on the city wall.

The enemy troops who attacked at night were all annihilated, and he rushed over.

Seeing Mo Yu, he patted his shoulder heavily, "Well done."

"It's just some tricks to prevent night attacks. The real credit is still the firearms and the outer wall of the bastion." Mo Yu said.

He was very clear-headed. The traps he set were just icing on the cake, not the key to victory or defeat in the war.

If the Yanguan soldiers were holding bows and arrows and long swords at this moment.

Even if they knew about the night attack of Beidi in advance, the next battle would be extremely difficult, not as easy as it is now.

Chang Wei nodded, and he admired Mo Yu's attitude of not taking credit for his achievements.

Patting his shoulder again, Chang Wei looked at the endless night, "From tomorrow, Yanguan will be handed over to you. I will go to Leting County to meet Zhou Yi and wait for the opportunity to take Ningcheng in one fell swoop."

The strategy of this Ningjin battle was formulated by him.

There are many plans to be implemented next, and he can't stay in Yanguan all the time.

And in his opinion, Mo Yu's ability is on par with his own.

There is absolutely no problem in handing Yanguan to him.

Mo Yu naturally understands Chang Wei's plan. The role of Yanguan is just to consume the troops of Beidi.

The subsequent actions will truly determine the outcome of the Ningjin Dusi war.

He said: "Just like what I said last night, with me here, Yanguan will be as stable as a rock."

After a pause, he continued: "And after this night attack, the Beidi people should understand that there is no skill to attack Yanguan. Next, they can only attack by force and exchange human lives."

"That's right." Chang Wei and Mo Yu thought of the same thing, so he decided to leave Yanguan.

The battle at Yanguan below will be boring, as Beidi will continue to charge again and again.

After saying this, the two ordered the soldiers to remain alert and then went down the city wall.

Beidi camp.

The failure of the night attack made Gultu and Korchin silent for a long time.

Gule and Wuyan looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Although they were the kings of the Xiliang King's Tent, they knew that their status in the hearts of the Beidi people was very low.

Interrupting this matter would only make themselves bored.

"At this point, there is no choice but to fight to the death. From dawn, we will launch an endless attack. I don't believe that 400,000 troops can't kill a few tens of thousands of people at Yanguan." Gultu suddenly slammed the table heavily.

Korchin nodded slowly.

They are the King's Tent of Daring to Die appointed by Khan Mule Hongzhen.

If they fail to take Yanguan, they will have no face to go back alive.

As for the Xiliang King's Tent, they don't want the lives of the Beidi people, so how can they live alone?

"Gu Le, Wu Yan, this is your only chance to become a Beidi." Gultu reminded.

"Yes, Da Xing Zai." Gu Le and Wu Yan looked at each other and gritted their teeth.

In fact, they hated the King of Yan as well.

If the King of Yan had not destroyed their Xiliang elite in Jinzhou.

Why would they linger in Beidi today?

So, whether it was a private grudge or a public war, they would vent their anger on the soldiers of the King of Yan.

After deciding this, Gultu's eyes flashed with determination, and he waved his hand to let the three go back to prepare.

The next day.

At dawn, bursts of fire and smoke came out of the Beidi artillery position.

One by one, the shells flew towards the top of Yanguan, and the concrete walls kept clanging.

At the same time, bursts of high-pitched "Anda" rang through the sky.

The Beidi soldiers in the front carried the ladders, and the Beidi soldiers in the middle pushed the huge siege equipment, rushing towards Yanguan like a black tide.

"Boom boom boom..."

Yanguan responded to them with angry artillery.

One after another, the shells flew into the Beidi army with strong winds, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Mortars also kept throwing shotgun shells and lime shells at Beidi soldiers.

Some of the charging Beidi soldiers lost their direction because their eyes were burned, and they ran around in the army and knocked down other soldiers.

The shotgun shells exploded, and the Beidi soldiers within a range of ten meters screamed and fell down.

When they entered a distance of two hundred meters, the deadly bullets of the rifled gun took the lives of batches of Beidi soldiers.

The bodies of the Beidi soldiers soon covered the land of the Yanguan city wall.

When the battle of Yanguan started again.

Chang Wei led a team of cavalry to the south gate.

When he heard the rumbling of the artillery, a scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The more these beasts who wanted to exterminate the entire Yanzhou with plague died, the happier he felt.

Although the people of Yanzhou escaped this disaster because of the wisdom and bravery of King Yan.

But in his heart, this matter did not pass.

Should the murderer's guilt be mitigated if the murder failed?

His answer was no. This time, Beidi must pay a heavy price.

Although the King of Yan did not say it clearly before departure, the generals had already tacitly understood each other.

This time, they did not want Beidi prisoners.

Thinking of this, he reined in his horse and headed for Leting.

Yanguan was just the appetizer of this war, and the real drama had just begun.

...

Yancheng.

While the fierce battle was going on at Yanguan, Zhao Xu and Xu Ke were paying attention to the reactions of the powerful families around Yanzhou.

This time he stayed in Yancheng and did not supervise the battle in person, in addition to the trust of generals such as Chang Wei.

Another reason was to prevent the powerful families from taking the opportunity to deal with him when he was competing with Beidi.

After all, the Dasong clan was completely out of control, and he didn't know what actions these clans would take next.

However, through observations over the past few days, neither the Han family of Qizhou nor the Wang family of Yuzhou had any movement.

"I think this is obviously the result of the plague. They want to make trouble, but they are afraid that they will be infected with the plague if they enter Yanzhou. After weighing it, they can only be honest." Xu Ke smiled.

Zhao Xu nodded, he thought so too.

No army is willing to enter the area where the plague has broken out to fight, which is a way to die.

And this is also the unexpected result of his spreading fake plague.

In this way, he doesn't need to worry during the war with Beidi.

He can deal with Beidi with peace of mind. After solving the Beidi of Ningjindusi, he will surprise these clans.

"What is the situation in the capital?" Zhao Xu asked the most concerned question and thought of the chaos in the capital.

Zhao Heng was under house arrest, and the clans held the emperor hostage to control the princes.

This means that the powerful families are now using the imperial edict to do whatever they want.

When mentioning this, Xu Ke sighed, "I just received news that an imperial edict was issued from the palace, and the governors of the states controlled by the royal family have all been replaced."

"Oh?" Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

This means that the powerful families have divided up the royal territory and further expanded.

"The governor of Bozhou was replaced by the Han family, the governor of Jiangzhou was replaced by the Xie family, the governor of Xiangzhou was replaced by the Dou family, the governor of Liangzhou was replaced by the Xiao family, and the governor of Guangzhou was replaced by the Liang family..." Xu Ke read them out one by one.

The more Zhao Xu listened, the more solemn his expression became.
