late at night.
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the night was dark.
The biting cold wind howls,
Yan State in early spring,
The weather hasn't quite warmed up yet.
Especially at night, the howling wind still carries the chill of winter.
North of Jicheng,
In a jungle.
The officers and soldiers of the Qi army have already been assembled and are ready to go.
Huo Qubing rode his horse to the front of the military formation and glanced at the soldiers of the Qi army in front of him. "My fellow soldiers, Yan will be destroyed tonight!"
Without too many words,
Just a short sentence,
This ignited the blood in the hearts of the Qi army soldiers!
Under the cover of night,
Twenty thousand Qi troops quietly arrived at the north gate of Jicheng.
Now,
Due to the threat of Huo Qubing.
Jicheng can be said to be heavily guarded.
only,
Emperor Yan focused his defense on the south gate.
As for the other three gates, although there are a lot of troops stationed there, the vigilance intensity is obviously a little worse.
and,
The North Gate area is still controlled by a general named Qin from Yan State.
Among the people who wrote letters of trust to Huo Qubing in the past few days, the head of the Qin family was also among them.
"General, look, there seems to be movement in the city!"
When the army approaches,
The lieutenant hurriedly pointed in the direction of Jicheng's tower and reminded.
Huo Qubing looked up,
On the city tower, firelight flickered, and there were faint shouts of killing.
Obviously,
There was a fight going on on the tower.
At this time,
Suddenly there was a sound of iron locks stirring,
The suspension bridge at the city gate in front began to slowly descend.
The deputy general was overjoyed: "General, the city gate is open!"
However, before Huo Qubing could give the order to charge, another general reminded him: "General, be careful of fraud. It is better to let the last general lead the troops in first. After confirming that everything is correct, the general will lead the troops in!"
Huo Qubing nodded and agreed to the general's proposal.
Then the general led three thousand soldiers and horses and rushed into the city first.
And quickly controlled the city gate.
the whole process,
It can be said that there is no obstacle.
There was no ambush to worry about.
At this time,
A general of the Qin family came to the Qi army and pointed towards Yaoyao in the city behind him: "General, that direction is where the imperial palace is, and Emperor Yan is there!"
.......
royal palace.
Emperor Yan hugged his two concubines and fell into a deep sleep.
at this time,
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the hall, waking him up.
Emperor Yan shouted impatiently: "Come here!"
"What's happening outside, why is it so noisy!"
The eunuch who heard the shouting hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's the noise coming from the north of the city. I don't know what happened there."
As soon as he finished speaking,
A general ran over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
"The Qin family surrendered to the enemy. They just opened the north gate, and the Qi army has already entered!"
"What did you say?!!!"
The sleepiness on Emperor Yan's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Instead, he was filled with shock and disbelief.
"I treat the Qin family well, but I didn't expect that when the country is in crisis, they would dare to collaborate with the enemy and treason?!"
"traitor!!!"
"They deserve to die!"
Anger appeared on Emperor Yan's face, and he shouted angrily at the top of his lungs.
Angry shouts,
Wake up the concubine on the bed.
In a daze, they only saw Emperor Yan standing in front of the bed. They subconsciously reached out and grabbed Emperor Yan's wrist and pulled back.
"Your Majesty, come back quickly~ I am scared to be alone."
The current Emperor Yan,
Upright.
How can I have the time to indulge in beauty.
He slapped him with his backhand, and the loud slap echoed through the hall.
"roll!"
"Don't bother me!"
At this moment,
North of the city,
Fire shot into the sky, and the ground shook like an earthquake.
After completely controlling the North Gate,
Huo Qubing took the lead, leading the cavalry behind him and rushed into the city.
The people all closed their windows and doors, hiding in their homes and shivering.
The defenders of Yan State, who arrived late, initially planned to block Huo Qubing outside the city.
However, how could those newly recruited soldiers withstand Huo Qubing's fierce offensive.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they were torn apart.
Countless Yan troops were crushed into pulp by iron hoofs.
The elite of Yan State had already been defeated by the Qi army last year, and very few of them were left.
These Yan troops now,
They are all Xiangyong who have been temporarily recruited during this period of time.
Have these people ever seen such a bloody scene?
This group of new troops who had just entered the battlefield were already frightened to death when faced with the tiger-wolf-like Qi army.
The already low morale collapsed in an instant.
The screams of Yan Jun resounded through the night sky.
The blood trail spread from the city gate towards the palace.
Huo Qubing waved the spear in his hand, and wherever the sharp edge passed, all the corpses of the Yan army were left behind.
The Qi army was like a tide, sweeping towards the palace.
At this time, Emperor Yan
He had already put on armor and led the imperial army to support the North Gate.
What caught his eye was that each of his own troops was scurrying around like headless flies.
At this time, the Yan army did not have any will to resist.
Either they were running around holding their heads, or they were kneeling on the ground with their hands raised in surrender.
The point is,
The Qi army was not the only one chasing behind them.
Even the private armies of many aristocratic families also participated in the pursuit of the Yan army.
At this moment,
There were only four words in Emperor Yan's mind: The situation is over!
A sense of sadness emerged in my heart.
once Upon a time,
In his eyes, Qi State is just an ant that can be easily crushed to death.
But now, he was cornered by this ant.
Emperor Yan's mind couldn't help but think of this time last year.
When Qi State ceded territory to itself under the Yan army and asked for peace, I felt so proud at that time.
But now,
With two big losses last fall.
It's all gone now.
Despite the sadness,
An indescribable anger burst out in my heart.
He is not willing to give in!
He was unwilling to let Dayan die in his own hands.
in those days,
He also led thousands of troops and galloped across the battlefield.
He has made great military exploits.
But now as he gets older, his body gradually gains weight and he slowly becomes slacker.
In grief and anger,
Emperor Yan clenched the weapon in his hand and roared unwillingly: "Han Lin, the thief, actually forced me, Emperor Yan, to this point. I will fight with you!"
"All officers and men listen to the order and charge with me!"
Emperor Yan raised his sword high, pointing the sword's edge at the Qi army in front.
The Imperial Guards behind them moved with a bang.
Follow Emperor Yan to charge towards the Qi army's cavalry.
However,
their actions,
It's completely like a mantis trying to trick a car!
The so-called forbidden army is well-equipped.
But they, who had been sparse for a long time, could not compare with the elite division led by Huo Qubing.
As soon as the two armies came into contact,
In the blink of an eye, it was pierced by the Qi army's offensive.
Seeing that his own imperial army was so vulnerable in front of the Qi army.
Emperor Yan seemed to have been poured a bucket of ice water on him, and the blood that had just been ignited in his heart dropped to freezing point.
Just now he was thinking of fighting Qi Jun to the death.
Suddenly he became timid.
Especially looking at the miserable situation of the Yan army beside him under the Qi army's sword.
The fear of death made him no longer as angry as before.
Emperor Yan has only one idea now,
That's escape!
As long as you can escape from here, there are still several cities in the north of Yan State.
He can completely recruit a new army of soldiers and horses to continue to compete with Qi.
"I can't die!"
"As long as I am still alive, the Yan Kingdom will not perish!"
"I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, but I want to keep hope for the future recovery of Dayan!"
With this idea,
Emperor Yan no longer had the will to fight, so he turned around and ran towards the east gate.
