The next day, for a whole day, Jicheng was a mess. The gates of the city were closed, and a large number of armor soldiers searched everywhere. Panicked scenes can be seen everywhere. The news of the General's Mansion finally spread. Li Mu, who was personally awarded the title of "Condor General" by Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, was killed by assassins in his sleep last night. There were two corpses, and not even the head was found. Apparently taken by the Assassins.

In Jicheng, all the people who heard this incident were shocked and changed. At this critical moment when the military situation was in full swing and 100,000 people were suddenly assassinated, it was undoubtedly worse, and people immediately panicked.

Fortunately, Li Mu's army has always been strictly organized. The military rules that have been formed for a long time have always been in the hearts of all officers and men, and they have formed a habit of consciously abiding by them. Therefore, even if the supreme command of the general is lost in a short time, there will not be much confusion. Naturally, generals and lieutenants at all levels will strictly restrain their subordinates and carry out the originally scheduled combat orders in the army. Of course, this situation is only temporary. If the fierce war begins again, it is not known what the outcome will be.

Under the situation of the whole city on alert, the people in the city naturally closed their doors and stayed at home and did not dare to go out. Although the news of the loss of the general is sad, these ordinary people seem to have no other way to think of than to wait in fear at home. Even if some people who have lost their confidence because of timidity want to escape, they will not have a chance at all for a few days. Everyone can only have a feeling of uncertainty about life and death, and keep praying to God, asking for a chance to live.

No matter who it is, I know it very well. Once the city is broken, the end will be extremely tragic. I heard that there were nearly 300,000 Hu troops outside the city, and all the ways out had been blocked. In front of these savage and brutal creatures, it is simply impossible to escape their pursuit. Perhaps the only hope now is the army guarding Jicheng. It's just that after their spiritual pillar Li Mu was killed, no one can know how long these soldiers can hold out.

In the world, some people are sad and some people are happy. Moreover, it is not the usual euphoria. It's a big deal! Thanks! Be chuffed to bits!

In a courtyard several stories deep on Beicheng Street, some people are gathering to celebrate with wine. Outside, the whole city was on alert, and there was tension everywhere. But here, everyone is drunk and red-faced, and their blood is boiling, just waiting for the time to hold a big event.

Yan Xue looked at the hundred and ten backbones under her subordinates, and once again raised the wine boldly and drank it with everyone. Even he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The majestic Li Mu was easily cut off his head. Seeing that the great work is about to be completed, how can he not be excited?!

"Brothers, eat and drink to your heart's content. After you have eaten and drunk, you should rest for half a day, and act tonight, and be sure to fight with the enemy. As long as the north gate is opened, it is a great achievement...... Hahaha!"

"General Yan, please rest assured. The brothers are ready. Just wait for the hour to come, and follow the general's orders. Hehe! Li Mu is dead, and Zhao Jun is leaderless. Don't look at the generals and lieutenants who are struggling to support, in fact, the morale of the army has long been weakened. As long as there is civil strife, the defenders have no intention of fighting, and the city gate is at your fingertips!" yes, yes! The general is all about sitting here. On the other side of the north gate, the brothers had already laid an ambush. The Zhao army defending the city probably never imagined that right under their feet, the shining blades were just waiting to harvest their heads...... Hey! Tonight, that's where they will be buried!"

"The city will be broken only tonight! We are willing to work with the general to achieve great things. Kill all the Zhao Jun! Restore the mountains and rivers of Yanguo!"

"Kill all the Zhao army and restore the ...... of Yan Kingdom!"

His henchmen were furious, and they slapped their chests one after another, loudly expressing their determination. If at the beginning, they were still hesitant in their hearts, whether they should risk their lives to come to Jicheng to do internal response. At this point, no one doubts the victory they are about to achieve. It's exciting to think about! As long as the Zhao army is defeated and Jicheng is recaptured, no matter who becomes the king of Yan at that time, these people will be the heroes of the founding of the country! Glory and wealth are just around the corner.

Yan Xueyi's heart was even more excited. If it weren't for the need for secrecy, I was afraid that I would expose the target by surprise in advance. He almost couldn't help but laugh. The general's palace was heavily guarded, and it would have been an impossible task to go in and assassinate Li Mu surrounded by heavy troops. However, Li Mu lost his head in his general's mansion, and no matter how many troops and horses there were, he couldn't save him! With such an unaware method of killing, who else but himself can do it?

The people of Zhao State probably never expected that even if they had already obtained the Jicheng of Yan Kingdom and had been stationed here for several years, they had not conquered this royal city at all!

Just below the most majestic city in the north, there are passageways that connect several secret strongholds. This includes not only the tunnel leading to the original Yanwang Palace, but even a direct access to the North City Gate. At the beginning, some of the Yan royal family escaped, and they fled along this passage.

And since the fall of the royal city, this secret has been known to very few people. For so long, the lurkers of the Yan Kingdom have endured not using these secret passages because they are waiting for the best opportunity. That is what they are very much looking forward to one day, Zhao King Chu Jiangmian can come to Jicheng, so as long as he enters the palace, it will be his death!

And now, instead of waiting for King Zhao, he waited for the army of Hu. Such an opportunity to restore the country, the Avengers will naturally not let it go. The latent force of more than 5,000 people used these tunnels to secretly operate in the city, and gradually gathered to the place where they were waiting for an opportunity to attack. The defenders of the city knew almost nothing about it. Even if their great general was killed because of this, they would not be aware of it. This made the hearts of everyone led by Yan Xueyi swell even more.

After Li Mu was killed last night, his head was immediately sent out of the city. Presumably, it had already been sent to Hu Wang Moke at this time. And the big plan of the inside and outside is on that small group of people. Yan Xue made a promise in person, and at the time of the shift tonight, he will personally lead people to sacrifice the North City Gate, lead Hu Qi to drive in, and break the Thistle City!

"Now, sharpen the knives in our hands and wait for darkness! Hehe, if you don't kill Zhao Jun, you won't be a man!"

This descendant of the Yan royal clan slammed the knife in his hand into the ground and swore to the sky with a fierce expression. Everyone present also patted their chests with him and made an oath. Everyone's face was filled with a heavy murderous aura!

The autumn wind rustles the leaves in the courtyard. Heavy clouds drifted overhead, blocking out the sun. The patrolling armor soldiers stopped, as if they had received some orders...... I don't know when, this quiet street has been full of murderous machines.

Yan Xueyi's speculation was not wrong, and at this same moment, the warriors with Li Mu's head finally came to the Hu people's base camp dozens of miles away after a non-stop trek.

These dozen men haven't had a good rest since last night. But they didn't feel tired at all. After meeting Hu Wang Moke, they immediately presented the head in a wooden box, as well as a letter written by Yan Xueyi herself.

Wang Jun, the envoy of the Qin State who led them to see King Hu, stood aside with a smile on his face, looking very proud. Even this extremely cautious henchman of King Qin felt that Jicheng was already under control at this time. Contacting the Yan people in the city and Hu Qi to join forces to break the city, this matter was almost single-handedly facilitated by him. After defeating Jicheng in one fell swoop tonight, his merits can be imagined. When he returns to Qin, he will definitely gain the trust of King Qin even more. He looked back at the southwest direction, and now he only hoped that the Qin army would also be able to come with good news as soon as possible.

Hu Wang Moke was also very happy after seeing the head. In the past few years, Li Mu has defeated the Hu cavalry army several times, known as the Great Wall, as long as he is there, this line of defense is unbreakable! Especially in the past few days, he personally led his troops to guard Jicheng, causing great casualties to the Hu warriors. So much so that for several days in a row, it was difficult to move forward. This made Hu Wang Moke extremely angry. Now that this man is dead and the obstacle has been removed, the remaining defenders are nothing to fear!

Mo Ke is rude by nature, but he is actually a delicate and cunning person. He was still a little uneasy, and summoned his confidants and generals and ordered them to come and watch Li Mu's head together, is it true or false? Some of these people who had fought with Li Mu's army in the past immediately recognized that this was Li Mu's head!

Seeing that his henchmen were all right, Mo Ke was happy. He immediately asked people to bring wine and meat to reward these men of Yan Kingdom. Although he has always looked down on the people of the Central Plains, since they are of great use now, he naturally wants to give courtesy. And especially when he heard that the city would be broken open tonight. I couldn't help but get up and ask loudly.

"So, Broken Thistle, is it tonight?"

"No longer hesitate, my lord! The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. Another way is that God has given it to take it, but it is to blame! Now that the arrangements have been made in the city, it will be a great success to attack the city and destroy the enemy tonight!"

Before anyone else could say anything, Wang Jun had already stood up and agreed loudly. This envoy of the Qin State was on fire in his heart, and his eyes were shining. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service is just around the corner, and we can't wait for a moment.

"Good! Pass my order, let the crown prince Zuo Du Wang gather the front battalion army of 100,000 and take Jicheng tonight!"

The dust and wind are rising, and the eagles are flying. Hu Ji whimpered, and ten thousand horses competed.

PS: Let's advertise it again. The new book "The Heroes of the World" asks for support! Collections, red tickets, monthly passes, or something...... Hahaha!
