Chapter 428 Northwest Horn
Anchenggang.
Ulanba looked at the more than 300 warships anchored in the port, and a sneer was hanging on the corner of her mouth.
The news that his father Khan Mulehongzhen sent someone to send him south from the northwest, so he immediately asked the Beidi soldiers stationed in Ancheng to prepare for it and boarded the ship to Liao County, detour south of Yan Pass, and attacked Yan Pass from north to south to capture Yan Pass.
Of course, it would be better if the Black Iron Guard and the Yuan family could successfully take down the southern gate of Yanguan from the inside.
However, the failure of the Yuan family last time also made them Beidi take care of it.
The Yuan family was just icing on the cake in this war, not the key.
The 300,000 Beidi army attacked from north to south and the artillery they carried this time were their real capital.
"King of Yan, you Dasong in the northwest are destined to be defeated, and you will die in my hands and become my future Khan."
In the cold wind, a silver wolf head on the warship fluttered in the wind.
This is his tent, the flag of the Snow Wolf King's tent.
"King, these three hundred warships are enough to transport 100,000 troops. After sending the Beidi army to Liao County, these warships will come back and send my Goryeo warriors to Liao County, and take down Yan Pass with the Beidi army." The Goryeo generals beside Ulanba looked respectful.
In order to transport as many people as possible, the construction of Goryeo this time was basically all building ships.
This craft has three floors and can carry up to five hundred soldiers.
Three hundred building ships transporting 100,000 people is enough.
Ulaanba nodded and looked at the tall building ship docked on the pier.
Goryeo was once a vassal of Dasong and studied under Dasong, so the boat was naturally learned from Dasong.
But now, it has become a weapon for him to attack Dasong in Beidi.
"Travel south by boat in three days." Ulaanba decided on the time to move south.
When the generals around him heard this, they all responded.
At this moment, thirty miles away from Ancheng Port, a sail warship was watching there.
On the high watchtower of the warship, a soldier was holding a telescope to observe the movements of the port.
On the deck, Zhou Yi and the captain of the Yanjun battleship, Gong Ying, looked up at the watchtower from time to time.
Soon, the navy soldiers slid down the mast and told the two of them what they had observed.
"They are already loading supplies?" Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this.
"Yes, and there are artillery ships that have been transported to the stairs." The soldier continued.
Zhou Yi nodded and "Continue to observe."
"This time, Beidi went south and spent a lot of money. He built ships and cannons. Unfortunately, in front of our warships, they were destined to be the dish of sharks in the sea." Gong Ying sneered repeatedly, and was very confident in his words.
His confidence did not come out of thin air.
These days, they tested the combat capabilities of these twelve sail warships at sea.
First of all, compared with the building boat, at sea, the speed of the sailing battleship is like a six-year-old child running with an adult.
Secondly, these twelve warships are not loaded with ordinary cannons, but special naval cannons.
When building the warships, the Military and Battle Office built naval guns according to the requirements of the King of Yan.
Compared with ordinary artillery, the length of naval guns is significantly longer than that of ordinary city guard artillery and field artillery.
The increase in length increases the firing distance of the artillery.
Moreover, these artillery cannons are also cut through hydraulic boring machines, so the range is even longer.
They have tried that these naval guns can fly shells up to ten miles.
However, to exert the maximum power, it must be within 2,500 meters.
For them, this distance is enough.
Zhou Yi is not as relaxed as Gong Ying.
This time, the King of Yan would put the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Although he knew that their warships were too much better than Goryeo, he did not dare to be careless before winning the final victory.
After hearing Gong Ying say it for a while, he was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Next, he will wait for the order sent by the King of Yan.
...
Yongcheng.
Four hundred thousand Northern Expedition troops have surrounded the place.
Outside the city walls, there are endless white camp tents.
At this moment, the roar of the cannon was like thunder.
Cannonballs hit the gate of Yongcheng.
However, the gates of Yongcheng were all filled with sandbags.
The city gate was broken, and the Northern Expedition Army was still unable to attack the city.
Zhao Heng sat in the camp in the south, a little bored.
Victory is certainly gratifying, but along the way, victory is too easy, making the war seem monotonous.
"Father, Dasong has a powerful weapon like cannon, and the conquest of Beidi in the future is just around the corner." The second prince was by Zhao Heng's side and flattered the emperor.
He reminded his existence in front of this emperor at all times.
The third prince will never become the emperor.
At present, only the deposed prince can compete with him for his strengths and weaknesses.
Now I have followed the emperor to fight and won consecutive victories. This is the achievement that I can show off after I go back.
He deposed the prince but was just a regent, how could he compare with himself?
Thinking of this, he felt that the throne was waving to him.
Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and finally showed a strong interest.
A little Xiliang and Ma Jin were really useless.
The second prince's words aroused his unthinkable hopes before.
If the Northern Di can be pacified, Zhao Heng will be written into history and become the sage king of eternal times.
And this is a temptation that he cannot refuse.
"This time I will take over Yongcheng, I will inevitably attack Beidi." Zhao Heng looked firm.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng suddenly walked over quickly, his face as gloomy as water.
"Your Majesty, you must withdraw to Wu Pass immediately now, otherwise it will be too late." Yang Feng said loudly.
The second prince sneered, "General Yang, you always say this, are you annoying? This Northern Expedition is so smooth, but you repeatedly interfere with it. What is your intention?"
Yang Feng was too lazy to pay attention to the second prince now. He said: "Emperor, few of the stalkers sent out came back. Even if they came back, they had not found anything. There must be a problem. I am afraid that Beidi has already stationed troops in the north of Yongzhou. This is the trap they set up."
The second prince shook his head, looking hopelessly Yang Feng, "The cavalry of Xiliang has always been better than my Dasong cavalry. It's no wonder that they were attacked by Xiliang cavalry."
"General Yang said that the Northern Di stationed troops in Yongzhou North is ridiculous. The Northern Di is the Jinhe River. Can the Northern Di people swim here?"
Zhao Heng couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and felt very funny.
He was about to scold Yang Feng.
At this time, a horse snatched suddenly arrived in a hurry.
Although it was winter, Tanma was sweating profusely at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the Beidi army was discovered twenty miles north of the north, with a large number of them, which is difficult to estimate!"
The words of exploring the horse immediately scared everyone to sweat.
Zhao Heng shivered, "How is it possible? How could Beidi come from the north?"
Yang Feng's face was ashes, and now everything is too late.
How could this 400,000 army run past the Iron Cavalry of Beidi?
The head of Yongcheng City.
Gule looked north, and he faintly heard a horn sound from the wind.
He was very familiar with the sound of the horn, and it was from Beidi.
"The Beidi army has arrived, we can extricate our anger this time." Gule laughed.
Ma Jin and Wu Yan were surprised when they heard this.
They also listened carefully for a while, and sure enough, they could hear the dull sound of horns vaguely.
After the Dasong Northern Expedition Army besieged this place, it launched several sieges.
Although they all repelled, they also suffered considerable casualties.
If Beidi does not come again and consume it for a long time, I am afraid that the Yongcheng and the others will not be able to protect it.
And now, the Beidi army has finally arrived.
