Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 682

[Chapter 682 Secret]

“Bang bang bang…”

Under Jicheng, the grenadiers kept throwing grenades on the city wall.

Under the rounds of explosions, the soldiers of the Yuan family on the city wall suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

At the same time, other palace soldiers prepared ladders to climb the city wall at any time.

Looking at the top of Jicheng City, Qin Shan rubbed his chin and murmured: “This kid from the Fourth Court really succeeded, which is a bit interesting.”

Originally, he had no hope for the assassination of Yuan Li by the youth from the Fourth Court.

After all, there must be a large number of soldiers guarding Yuan Li.

But he obviously underestimated the ability of this young man from the Fourth Academy.

Seeing a firework light up in the sky, he knew that the youth of the Fourth Court had succeeded, so he launched an attack immediately instead of waiting until midnight.

After all, Yuan Li’s assassination will definitely cause chaos in Jicheng. If he doesn’t attack the city now, let alone when.

Just as he guessed, the explosion in the city and the fireworks flying into the sky attracted the attention of Yuan family soldiers on the city wall.

When the grenadiers touched the base of Jicheng City, they didn’t take any precautions.

When the grenade exploded on the city wall, Yuan Li was doomed to fail in this war.

“Boom boom boom…” The explosion continued.

The generals of the Yuan family on the city wall were injured and died.

The surviving soldiers rushed to the city for help, but because of the death of Yuan Li and many generals, Yuan’s army was already in chaos, and no one paid any attention to it.

Some Yuan family soldiers even made up their minds when they learned that Yuan Li was dead.

After wandering outside for so long, they got bored and didn’t want to continue running away.

Now, they don’t want to fight anymore, they just want to go back to Yanzhou, their hometown, and live a peaceful life.

The news that King Yan’s soldiers did not kill the prisoners strengthened their belief even more.

The explosion on the city wall lasted for a while, and then the soldiers of the Yuan family in the city heard the screams of killing.

The soldiers of the palace climbed up the city wall through the ladders and rushed into Jicheng. The Yuan family’s soldiers were in chaos and could not organize an effective attack at all.

The piecemeal counterattack was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of Yanzhou soldiers.

Seeing that the situation was over, more soldiers of the Yuan family knelt down on the side of the road and threw their swords and muskets on the ground.

Thirty thousand soldiers from the royal palace fought from the north to the south of the city.

At dawn, they occupied the entire city of Jicheng.

Qin Shan climbed to the south gate of Jicheng, looked down from a high position and looked down to the endless plain.

At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This battle was simpler than he imagined.

The Yuan family’s soldiers and horses without a leader were vulnerable to a single blow in the palace.

“Notify His Royal Highness King Yan immediately that Jicheng has been captured.” Qin Shan said.

Taking Jicheng means that the four southwestern counties of Qi State have been cut open.

They don’t need to fight to the death in Yangcheng, they just need to enter the four southwestern counties from Jicheng and fight towards Lucheng.

“Yes, General.” After receiving the order, a cavalryman set off from the north gate of Jicheng towards Yangcheng.

Two days later, the cavalry arrived at the camp of the royal army outside Yangcheng.

“Jicheng was breached?” Chang Wei couldn’t believe his ears.

This is too fast. It took only five days from the departure of Qinshan to the capture of Jicheng, which is unbelievable.

The cavalry then told about the assassination of Yuan Li.

Zhao Xu nodded upon hearing this. In a trance, he suddenly felt a little funny.

Back then, when he woke up in Yan County Prince’s Mansion, the Zhang family gave him a headache.

Yuan Li was even the giant of Yanzhou at that time, which made him nervous all the time.

But he didn’t expect that Yuan Li’s death didn’t cause any disturbance in his heart.

Because to him, Yuan Li had already become an insignificant figure.

But Yuan Li’s death finally settled his worries.

Over the years, Yuan Li owed countless blood debts in Yanzhou, and now the blood debts have been paid in blood.

Ignoring this matter, his thoughts returned to the current battlefield, and he said to Chang Wei, “Leave 30,000 people to stare at Yangcheng, and the remaining 60,000 people will go to Jicheng and attack Lucheng.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei said.

…

Lucheng.

The news of the fall of Jicheng also reached here, and Han Zheng and Xie Duan were shocked.

“This Yuan Li is really a waste, and your Han family values him too much, how can you let him guard Jicheng?” Xie Duan looked like he hated iron for being weak.

Han Zheng was already agitated, Xie Duan got angry at him, and he said angrily: “It’s useless to say these things now, King Yan is making a lot of noise this time, even if he changes people, he won’t be able to defend Jicheng, don’t talk about it anymore, it’s better Think about what to do.”

Xie Duan sighed.

Indeed, as Han Zheng said.

Even if you change someone, you can’t defend Jicheng.

King Yan marched towards Yangcheng in a big way, fooling everyone.

“At first, I thought that relying on Yangcheng would hold off King Yan’s soldiers and horsemen for more than a month, but now it’s good. In just five days, King Yan has captured Jicheng. I’m afraid that in another five days, they will go to Lucheng. “Xie Duan shook his head, “There is no other way, quickly evacuate to Pengcheng.”

Han Zheng hesitated, because he only moved a small part of the Han family’s treasury.

As the two were talking, Majiu Sato rushed over.

Looking at Han Zheng and Xie Duan, he really wanted to scold them.

He just thought that the Dongying navy was wiped out by the King Yan fleet almost overnight, so he didn’t have the face to say anything.

With a long sigh, he said: “Three months, no matter what, you have to persist for three months. As long as you can persuade Wu Guo, Dongpu and I will be able to facilitate a new alliance. By then, you will be safe, and the King of Yan will not be able to continue to challenge you.” Southern erosion.”

The important thing in the letter is exactly the plan that the Shogun Watanabe Kishi is implementing.

Establish an East-Turk Alliance with Japan as the core, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the situation.

This is like the offshore balancing strategy implemented by Britain in the Western Land.

While keeping Dasong in turmoil and division, do not allow any powerful country to rise and threaten the interests of Japan.

When he received the letter, the British consuls stationed in Japan and the consuls of the country of Sam were both a little moved by the matter.

After all, due to their long-term colonization, Western countries know better how to balance in a region.

For example, Britain’s rule over Tianzhu relies on inciting internal struggles in Tianzhu.

Pull a gang, fight a gang, let them fight endlessly, and get the most benefit from it.

In the past, Da Song was a unified dynasty, and they were still a little afraid.

But since Da Song is split, they naturally don’t want to see Da Song reunite.

A divisive ode is in their interest.

It’s just that they are very clear that they can’t achieve the goal of splitting up with their own family alone.

And they are twisted together, relying on Dongpu has this hope.

Especially Britain, their native parliament, has long formulated a plan against Da Song.

And the country of Sam doesn’t want to see the country of Wu, which has a huge trade relationship with itself, destroyed by Hades.

After deliberation, they decided to bring Wu Guo into their alliance, so that Da Song’s split would become a foregone conclusion.
