[Chapter 206 Yan City Crisis]

“What’s going on?”

Zhao Xu felt uneasy suddenly.

Xu Ke said: “Since Your Highness went to Yanguan, a soldier from the Yuan family entered Yanjun and killed the people. Although the people of Yanjun tried their best to resist, they were not as numerous and powerful as they were. They fought and failed repeatedly. Now they have surrounded Yancheng Attacking for several days.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xu’s heart sank immediately, “Why didn’t you report earlier.”

He didn’t expect that the Yuan family not only sent troops to stop him, but also played the trick of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

If he got the news early, he would really be distracted.

“Liu Wangfu said that Yanguan is a big matter, and His Highness cannot be distracted. If Yancheng is broken, only one city will be lost, and if Yanguan is broken, the whole game will be lost. The officials saw that Yancheng was in danger, so they hanged down the city wall at night and came here. Looking for His Highness.” Tsui Hark said sadly.

Mo Yu heard the words and said: “Your Highness, the Beidi army has retreated, and the remnants of the Yuan family should be wiped out immediately, and this place can be handed over to the last general.

” County, we should take this opportunity to settle Yuan’s family once and for all, and Yuan Li is still in Fan Yang, so we can’t let him look for opportunities to make trouble.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

There is a high probability that Beidi will retreat, and the strategy of the suspicious soldiers is to retreat and attack again, but Beidi retreated so far that they had sufficient time to prepare.

Now, as Mo Yu and Chang Wei said, the civil strife should be put down immediately.

Otherwise, his land will suffer huge losses.

“Take away 20 field cannons, and leave the other cannons in Yanguan to prepare for unexpected events. The royal family’s soldiers will be divided into two groups. One will follow the king to support Yancheng, and the other will send troops to Fanyang. Surround but not attack. Wait until the two armies meet. Let’s worry about it.” Zhao Xu said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” All the generals of the royal family’s army said in unison.

Nodding his head, Zhao Xu took ten field artillery, ten thousand infantry, Chen Hu’s heavy cavalry, and Zhong Li’s light cavalry and headed for Yancheng.

The others were handed over to Commander Chang Wei and marched towards Fan Yang.

For him, these Yuan family soldiers, the troops he led were enough.

…

Yancheng.

The sound of shouting and killing sounded on the city wall.

The recruits from the royal palace went back and forth on the city wall to fight with the soldiers of the Yuan family who climbed up the city wall.

Liu Fu walked on the city wall with a long sword in hand. Although he was a scholar, he didn’t care about anything at this time.

I can only bite the bullet and supervise the battle at the top of the city.

Outside the city, there was a huge crowd of Yuan family soldiers, shooting arrows at the top of the city continuously.

Only three days after King Yan left, these Yuan family soldiers arrived at the foot of Yancheng.

They formed a formation and attacked Yancheng, with a total of 20,000 people.

It stands to reason that there are more than 20,000 soldiers in Yancheng, so there is no need to worry that the city will be breached.

However, these soldiers are all newly recruited recruits, have not yet been trained, and their morale is low.

Seeing so many people besieging the city, many soldiers were frightened and their legs weakened immediately.

If it wasn’t for being forced up to the city wall by some generals, I am afraid that most of them would have escaped by now.

And even on the city wall, these soldiers just fight by instinct, and they can’t stop orders.

Because of this, the battle was extremely difficult, and the soldiers of the Yuan family used ladders to climb up the city wall many times.

“Give it to me, there is King Yan’s endless wealth in Yan City, grab it and share it with everyone.” A general of the Yuan family shouted.

After receiving Guo Tu’s order, he immediately marched northward.

In their view, Yanguan must not be defended.

At this time, following Yuan’s family is doing meritorious service in front of Beidi.

In the future, when people from Beidi enter the customs, they will naturally be able to live like ducks in water in Yanzhou.

“kill!”

Hearing the general’s shout, Yuan’s soldiers immediately became excited.

They went forward and climbed up the ladder to kill the city wall.

Liu Fu felt anxious when he saw the Yuan family’s soldiers’ attack suddenly became fierce.

He looked at the recruits who dared not fight, but only knew how to hide, and shouted: “Why did you come to join the army, just for the three taels of silver? The Yuan family is right in front of you, and they robbed your land, looted you You lost your wives and daughters, and now you just let them kill you like cowards?”

His hoarse voice sounded from the top of the city, and some recruits heard it, gritted their teeth and rushed up.

It’s just that even though they mustered up their courage, they were still not as good as the trained soldiers of the Yuan family. After a burst of slashing, they were beaten back again and again by the soldiers of the Yuan family.

Seeing all this, Liu Fu has nothing to do.

“Follow me, give me all.” At this moment, Liu Fu suddenly heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head and saw that Lu Ran was leading the Lu family’s children up the city wall.

Behind them, there were Dong Yuan and Yang Cheng, they all came with their children.

“Liu Wangfu, I see that these recruits are not very useful. We have been honored by Your Highness, and we will be honored together with His Highness, and we will all be hurt by each loss. Let us also contribute.” Lu Ran said.

They have been observing the battle situation, but the difference between these recruits and those veterans is not the slightest bit.

Seeing that Yancheng was in danger of falling, he finally couldn’t help but make a move.

“Thank you, thank you very much.” Liu Fu felt unspeakable.

In the past, he was very mean to the three families of Dong Yang and Lv, always thinking that they used to be wealthy and unclean.

Now they were able to come out as substitutes, which really surprised him.

Perhaps, after losing their land, they would really be like him, just the subjects of King Yan.

“No thanks.” Lu Ran said, “Lend us some armor first.”

As he spoke, he pointed at a group of recruits who were trembling at the base of the city wall.

Liu Fu nodded, and immediately called a general to pull off the armor from these recruits.

The armor was so powerful on veterans, it was wasted on these demoralized recruits.

Now he finally understands what King Yan said at the beginning.

The army of the royal family must not only talk about weapons.

Soldiers who master weapons and armor are the cornerstone of the royal family’s army, otherwise soldiers are just the enemy’s transport brigade.

The children of Dong Yang and Lv’s family put on their armor and rushed to the top of the wall immediately.

They each had private soldiers, but they disbanded.

But at that time all the children in the family had been trained in the army.

After reaching the city wall, they immediately fought with the Yuan family soldiers who attacked the city wall, suppressed the attack of the Yuan family soldiers in a short time, and drove them off the city wall.

Nanmen immediately gained an advantage.

It’s just that their number is too small after all, only seven or eight hundred people.

The other three walls are still under tremendous pressure.

From dawn to night, and from night to morning.

The next day, the defense line of the east gate was first broken by Yuan’s soldiers.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Yuan family occupied the city wall and drove the recruits from the palace down.

Then Yuan’s soldiers continued to enter the city through this gap.

They immediately came to the east gate, fought with the soldiers guarding the gate, and tried to open the east gate.

Yancheng suddenly fell into a crisis of breaking the city.

The news quickly spread to the palace.

Feng’er gritted her silver teeth and summoned all the servants of the palace.

At this time, she changed into a neat bunt, took a saber, and said to the servants: “Although I, Feng’er, am a girl, I am by no means a coward. Your Highness is now fighting a bloody battle with the Yuan family and Beidi people in Yanguan.” , Now that Yancheng is under siege, once the east gate is breached, the soldiers of the Yuan family will enter the city to burn, kill and loot, we absolutely cannot give them this chance.” The servants

nodded, all holding swords at this time.

These weapons have always been prepared by the palace, and they are only used when the palace is in crisis.

Obviously, now is the time to use it.

“Let’s go, go to the east gate.” After Feng’er finished speaking, she shouted at Ding Jiao.

“Sister, I’ll go too.” Luan’er walked over at this moment, holding a dagger in his hand.

Feng’er looked serious, “Your hand is similar to holding an embroidery needle, but not a sword.”

After that, she asked the other maidservants to watch Luan’er, and went with her servant.

When she came to the east gate, she suddenly saw a familiar person.

Xu E stared at the east gate with a frosty face, and more than 50 people dressed as ordinary people were fighting with Yuan’s soldiers with weapons.

Tianxianglou got the news at the first time, and she immediately led Tianxianglou’s thugs over.

As far as she is concerned, she cannot tolerate King Yan’s fiefdom being breached by the Yuan family.

Seeing Feng’er bringing her family over, she smiled slightly.

Seeing the anxious battle at the east gate, the servants rushed over immediately.

Feng’er gritted her teeth and wanted to go there, but was suddenly stopped by Xu E, “You delicate daughter can’t beat them.

” Dead.” Feng’er snorted.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a cry of “Get out of the way, get out of the way”. ”

I saw Wang Chong and the craftsmen of the Bingzhang Division leading three horses, each carrying something like a firecracker on the back of the horses.

Stopping in front of them, Wang Chong immediately asked the craftsmen to unload the firecrackers with wheels, and pointed the muzzle at the soldiers of the Yuan family who kept coming down the steps of the city wall.
