Chapter 560: On the Verge of Breaking Out

"The Northern Di soldiers are moving. Read М"

A hot air balloon was floating high in the sky above Jincheng.

On the hot air balloon, a soldier was staring at the ground with a telescope.

After sending the soldiers to the Lianxian beach, a warship carried the hot air balloon northward to investigate Jincheng.

Just now, they suddenly found that there were countless ants moving around Jincheng.

The ants in the front went straight to Ningcheng.

Of course, they knew that these were not ants, but cavalry from the Northern Di.

After discovering the movement of the Northern Di army in Jincheng, they immediately floated to the sea and prepared to land on the warship.

In just half a day, Chang Wei got the news.

At this moment, he was no longer in the waters of Lianxian.

After Ningcheng was captured, he ordered the fleet to go to Chrysanthemum Island.

Next, he will take command on Chrysanthemum Island.

"General Chang, the Northern Di people are completely led by us by the nose." Yang Zhen was slightly excited.

At present, the war is proceeding in the direction they expected.

"More than ten years ago, Muller Hongzhen personally took over Ningjindusi. If Ningjindusi is lost in his hands, his face as the Khan will be gone." Chang Wei said slowly.

It's not that he is a genius, but he knows the significance of Ningjindusi to Beidi.

Once Ningjindusi is lost, it means that Beidi's achievements of more than ten years will be lost in one day.

"So, the next will be a bloody battle." Yang Zhen looked towards Ningcheng.

For both sides of the war, they will not spit out the results they have achieved.

Then they can only fight to the death.

Chang Wei nodded and looked at Yang Zhen, "If it were before, these 60,000 people might not be able to hold on, but now, I am very confident in rifles."

If matchlocks and flintlocks can still be compared with bows and arrows.

Then rifles are simply far ahead of them.

In front of the Beidi people, he did it for the first time that the enemy could not hit them, but they could hit the enemy.

This gap is similar to the previous Dasong infantry facing the Beidi cavalry, who could only be killed by them like kites.

Of course, the premise is that they can rely on the city for defense.

If it is a field battle, unless there are chariots accompanying them, they will suffer heavy casualties in the face of a large number of Beidi cavalry, even if they can win.

Suddenly remembering something, he turned to Yang Zhen, "When the defense of Jincheng is empty, I will let the fleet send your Ningjin Army ashore, and Jincheng will be handed over to you."

As long as they take Ningcheng and Jincheng, they will be in control of Ningjin Dusi.

After all, Ningjin Dusi belongs to a narrow and long terrain.

Holding these two cities is like holding the throat of Ningjin Dusi.

It is impossible for the Beidi people to bypass these two cities and attack Yanguan directly.

Otherwise, the armies of the two cities can attack at any time and cut off their supply lines.

"Ningjin Army will not let His Highness down." Yang Zhen looked firm.

After knowing his identity, King Yan never blamed him for losing Ningjin Dusi more than ten years ago.

He formed the Ningjin Army and handed it to him to lead against all odds.

Even the most advanced firearms in Yanzhou were given to Ning Jinjun, and everything was no different from the royal army.

If he didn't fight a good battle once, how could he have the face to see the King of Yan.

"In this case, I hope you will return victorious." Chang Wei gave Yang Zhen an encouraging look.

The King of Yan once said that the army of mourning will win, and there is no doubt that Ning Jinjun is this mourning army.

From top to bottom, both Yang Zhen and the soldiers have had painful experiences at the hands of the Beidi people.

Facing the Beidi directly, the hatred hidden in their hearts will make them burst out with stronger combat power.

After discussing some specific details, Yang Zhen left.

Waited for a day.

The hot air balloon responsible for reconnaissance sent back intelligence again.

The Beidi soldiers in Jincheng had almost left, and only a small number of soldiers were guarding the city.

This news did not move Chang Wei, and he decided to keep Ning Jinjun and wait for the most critical node.

And he had another layer of concerns.

He had used this trick to capture Ningcheng at night, and he was afraid that Beidi would secretly guard against him to attack Jincheng again.

If Beidi set an ambush, his strategy would be affected.

Therefore, he decided to let Mo Yu and Ningcheng consume the Beidi army for a while.

When they relaxed their vigilance, Yang Zhen and others would land.

...

Ningcheng.

While Chang Wei made up his mind, Tiemu Ta led the front cavalry to arrive outside Ningcheng first.

While ordering the soldiers to set up camp and wait for the follow-up troops, he observed Ningcheng for a while.

The four gates, the south gate and the east gate were all damaged.

However, the soldiers of King Yan in the city did not repair the gate, but just piled a lot of stones and sandbags inside the gate to seal the entire gate.

Obviously, the other two intact gates were probably in the same situation.

Relying on the large amount of food and grass in Ningcheng, the soldiers of King Yan used to consume them to the end.

"Your Majesty, the Gurtu army is still thirty miles away from Ningcheng." Temuta was thinking when a cavalryman dismounted and said.

Temuta nodded and waved his hand to let the cavalry go back.

This time, all the 200,000 Beidi cavalrymen in Jincheng gathered in Ningcheng.

Together with the troops of the Gurtu tribe, they must have more than 350,000 troops, which is still an advantage over the troops of Yanzhou.

Moreover, the walls of Ningcheng are not as tall as those of Yanguan, and there are no peculiar walls outside Yanguan.

Most importantly, this army carries limited artillery.

Therefore, with such a huge disparity in strength, they have a great chance of retaking Ningcheng.

Thinking of this, he finally had a smile on his face.

Next, he only needs to wait until his father Khan arrives with the remaining troops, and they can launch an attack on Ningcheng.

…

Yanguan.

It has been more than a day since the Beidi troops withdrew from Yanguan.

But Mo Yu has not taken any action yet.

He just sent scouts to continuously investigate the movements of the Beidi.

"General, are we just going to watch Ningcheng being besieged? Ningcheng is not as high-walled as Yanguan." Mo Yu was not anxious, but his generals were anxious.

"Don't be anxious, being anxious will only alert the enemy." Mo Yu was a little helpless.

If he led his troops over at this time, the Beidi's attention would definitely turn to him.

At that time, the Beidi would first concentrate all their efforts to deal with them, and then turn back to Ningcheng.

In this case, it would be better to let Qin Shan hold on for a few days.

He hid during the day and traveled at night, leading his troops to the vicinity of Ningcheng to strike the Beidi army by surprise.

Seeing that the generals were still talking, he said coldly: "How is the chariot camp prepared?"

"The chariots have been checked and can set off at any time." A general said.

"Are the food and supplies loaded?" Mo Yu asked again.

This time, they might be surrounded by the enemy, so they had to use the chariots to bring more things.

"Okay, everyone brought fried noodles, plus the food in the chariots, even if they are besieged for twenty days, there will be no problem." Another general said.

Mo Yu nodded, and Chang Wei left the chariot camp in Yanguan.

It was for this day.

Next, he only needs to wait for the right opportunity, and he will set off under the protection of the chariot, turning into the mobile fortress of Ningjindusi.
