Chapter 634: The Breaker
"Bastard!"
Cui Huai was furious in the camp tent, and the rout of the musketeers caused confusion among the front troops, and they could not let the troops behind charge forward and fight hand-to-hand with the Yunzhou army, so they had to temporarily return to the camp to reorganize their troops and fight again.

The second prince's face was gloomy, and it was still his idea to set up an overseer, but even this still did not save the defeat, he said: "All deserters will be killed, and all these returning musketeers must be killed." ā
"Kill them all? There are less than two thousand musketeers left in our Yan Kingdom. Cui Huai was extremely distressed, and he now regretted believing the words of the second prince.
If it weren't for this group of Overseers, how could his musketeers have suffered such heavy losses?
"There are still 2,000 people left in your Yan Kingdom, but there is not a single musketeer left in our Liang Kingdom, your overseers are really a good means, and they are ruthless." The second prince sneered.
Now that his musketeers are all lost, it is difficult for him to explain when he goes back, after all, whether it is Yan or Liang, these musketeers are elites, and these elites are not vulnerable to the Qi army at all.
Cui Huai said angrily when he heard this: "Second prince, what do you mean? This Overseer is not your idea yet, the Yan State Overseer supervises the Liang Army, and the Liang State Overseer supervises the Yan Army, this is all what you said. ā
Only Zhao Ang did not have any losses in this battle, and he secretly persuaded when he was secretly happy in his heart: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, let's think about how to attack the city, although we lost today, we only lost 30,000 people, and we still have more than 300,000 people." ā
"General Zhao really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, and it's not your cavalry that is lost, of course you don't feel distressed, General Zhao likes to fight so much, how about letting the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry break up the camp of the Qi army tomorrow?"
"That's an idea, this musket is slow to load, and the cavalry is hundreds of meters away in an instant." The second prince also agreed.
Zhao Ang's face changed suddenly, and he said: "Don't forget that the Yunzhou army also has cavalry, if the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is gone, how can you deal with their cavalry." ā
This time, the Three Kings Coalition Army appointed King Yan as the commander of the coalition army, and urged: "General Zhao, this is an order. ā
Zhao Ang's face was extremely ugly when he heard this, and he snorted and walked out of the camp.
Cui Huai and the second prince all showed a cruel smile when they looked at Zhao Ang's departing figure, how could they let Zhao Ang watch the play comfortably after they had lost so many people.
Yunzhou military battalion.
Niu Ben and other generals gathered in the camp tent after a simple dinner, prepared early this morning, started the battle at noon, and collected the troops in the evening.
Although they had a lot of advantages with their firearms, hundreds of soldiers were killed and wounded by the desperate allied musketeers.
This battle loss was still acceptable to them, because the losses of the coalition forces were even greater.
"General, if the Three Kings Alliance has been fighting in this way, it will be troublesome, and now their musketeers should be finished, and they should be killed with cavalry and infantry!" Lu Fei analyzed.
The generals nodded.
Luo Hong said: "The distance of three hundred meters is only a few breaths for the cavalry, and even the infantry can rush over in only twenty breaths." ā
Niu Ben thought so, he naturally knew that if they continued to fight like this, they would eventually lose tens of thousands of people, because once the coalition army braved the charge and turned into hand-to-hand combat, it would be very unfavorable to them, he groaned for a while, and said: "From tomorrow onwards, we will not be able to hold out, and we will spend some time with them to sharpen their spirit." ā
Qi Guangyi said: "General, the last general asked to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack and harass their baggage. ā
Bai Mu said: "The last general is also willing to go with him." ā
Niu Ben nodded, "Remember, their grain and grass can be burned, and at the same time, they must not fall in love." ā
"Yes, General." Qi Guangyi and Bai Mu said in unison.
After a pause, Niu Ben continued: "The general has decided to hold on for five days from tomorrow, and after five days, he will rely on the chariot formation to surround the large battalion of the coalition army, so that we can give full play to the advantages of firearms, and we don't have to worry about the charge of footsteps." ā
Lu Fei and the other generals nodded when they heard this, today they were just luring the musketeers of the coalition army to duel with them, in their opinion, King Yan and King Liang were too confident in their musketeers, thinking that with these musketeers, they would be able to exchange the number of musketeers for one.
In fact, these soldiers were just targets for the delivery, and they only paid for the vast majority of the Coalition musketeers at a small price.
The next day.
When Cui Huai, the second prince and Zhao Ang led the army to arrive at the city of Yunzhou again, they found that the soldiers who were arrayed in front of the city yesterday had all arrived on the city wall.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Ang naturally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, while the second prince and Cui Huai had gloomy faces.
Now there are only two roads in front of them, one is to attack the city, and the other is to bypass Yunzhou City, but if they bypass Yunzhou City, it means that their grain route is completely exposed under the nose of Yunzhou City.
Once the grain route is cut off, it is tantamount to disaster for them.
So after weighing it, they finally chose the first siege route, and this time they gathered 350,000 troops, and they had to get a satisfactory result.
It was only when they attacked the city that they found that there was no difference in the difficulty of this siege and the detour to Yunzhou City.
When the artillery on the city wall began to roar, they knew that the day would be in vain, just as they thought, when the night was over, they did not pry up a single brick on the wall of Yunzhou City except for throwing a corpse under the city.
Then came the second day, the third day......
At the same time, when the coalition army was still fighting under the city of Yunzhou, King Yong's army had arrived at the city of Bingzhou by taking advantage of the emptiness of the Liang State's troops.
The general who led the Yongzhou army this time was none other than Chen Xinran, the general of King Yong, and the army that went to Bingzhou was the elite division he personally trained, which consisted of 20,000 musketeers, 40,000 infantry, and 15,000 cavalry.
The state of Liang bordered the fiefdom of King Yong, and after receiving the order of King Yong, they set out from Jizhou all the way to Bingzhou, and they did not encounter resistance at all on the way.
"General, there is Bingzhou City in front of you." A general pointed to the city in front of him and said.
Chen Xinran nodded, and he said to the generals: "Let people push the artillery up immediately, now His Royal Highness the King of Qi is about to ascend the throne, His Royal Highness King Yong asked me to take the city of Bingzhou, this is a great gift from King Yong to the future emperor." ā
"Yes, General." When the general heard this, he immediately went to inform the artillerymen.
At this time, Chen Xinran looked at Bingzhou City, which bordered the land of King Yong, and King Yong and King Liang had also had many frictions here before.
And now they can finally attack the city in a bright light.
