Time goes forward by half a month.

Yue Shuying had already returned to Yandu from Great Xia and told Yan Linglong what Xiao Rui had said, and Yan Linglong began to prepare to go to Yanjiang.

Before leaving, Yan Linglong summoned the three auxiliary ministers and asked them to keep an eye on the situation in Yandu, and at the same time asked Wang Feng's troops and horses.

The scout came to report that after "Wang Feng" was captured, Wang Feng's troops and horses had left Wei and entered Yan State, and the route they took was the westernmost county of Yan State.

Great Xia's soldiers and horses had already invaded the territory of Yan State, so for this enemy army passing through the territory, Yan Linglong and the three auxiliary ministers discussed for a long time, whether to fight or let the other party pass through, and they couldn't make up their minds.

It stands to reason that it should be fought, after all, the Xia army has already invaded the Yan Kingdom. But it is very difficult to fight, because the current strength of Yan State is too small, the main forces are used to attack Wei State, and the rest of the troops are all reorganized and stationed on the south bank of the Yan River, leaving only 80,000 troops to defend Yandu, which is the last guarantee, and other counties almost do not have more than 10,000 troops, so they dare not fight if they want to.

In the end, the result of the discussion between the four of them was to let the other party leave, send scouts to keep an eye on it, and once the other party moved, they could stick to Yandu.

Moreover, the other party does not have siege equipment, and the distance is far, it is impossible to take Yandu, and this time should be enough for Yan Linglong and Xiao Rui to negotiate.

Yan Linglong was full of confidence, with Xiao Qiye's wonderful move, she believed that she could protect Yan Guo and let Xiao Rui retreat!

So Yan Linglong set off for Yanjiang.

It's a pity that Yan Linglong didn't know that Wang Feng's soldiers and horses were indeed very well-behaved from the west, which was far away from Yandu, and would be detected once they attacked Yandu, so this army really had no intention of attacking Yandu. But not all of these soldiers and horses were troops, only more than 200,000.

As early as when the soldiers and horses withdrew from Wei, the troops had already been divided into two routes.

More than 200,000 troops on the main road, under the leadership of Wang Feng and Huo Xingye, obediently withdrew their troops, attracting the attention of the scouts of Yan State.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, with Guo Jia as the military division, and walked east along the northern route of Wei to the southeast of Yandu.

Yan Guo's attention was attracted by the main force of soldiers and horses, and he didn't know that there was still a Xia army in the southeast.

The Xia army immediately changed its costume, disguised as the soldiers and horses of the Wei State, pretended to be the Yan army that destroyed the triumph of the Wei State, and was ordered to go to the north.

For this plan to secretly display the warehouse, Guo Jia was fully prepared. During the time he was a prisoner, why he always went out to investigate, it was to better disguise himself as Yan Jun.

In this way, the Great Xia soldiers and horses entered the Yan Kingdom in a grand manner, and were welcomed by the people of the Yan Kingdom along the way, completely unaware that this was a disguised enemy.

A few days after Yan Linglong set off for Yanjiang, the little emperor Xiao Qiye couldn't bear it, left a letter, and then forced the guards to escort him, and also left Yandu to go to Yanjiang.

After the little emperor left, the three auxiliary ministers almost fainted when their blood pressure rose when they knew the situation. The little emperor is so young, and he is still driving in person, who can he recruit!

At this time, the "triumphant" Xia army had already rushed to the outside of Yandu City in a hurry.

The military department thought it was Du Anze's soldiers and horses, so they sent people to check the information, but they were not alert. There were 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding Yandu, 30,000 in the city and 50,000 outside the city. 50,000 troops were also stationed outside the northwest of the city, which was why Guo Jia chose the southeast position.

Faced with the verification of the officials of the Yan State Military Department, he directly captured the delay, and then took advantage of the nightfall to start the attack.

In this attack, according to Guo Jia's plan, Zhang Fei led 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack the moat camp outside Yandu. The rest of the soldiers and horses attacked Yandu City.

As early as daytime, Guan Yu led a large number of soldiers to infiltrate the city of Yandu, more than 1,000 people, and at night they will open the south gate from the inside to let the army outside the city enter the city. As long as the outer city is occupied, it will be simple to take the inner city when the time comes.

After a few hours, the war began.

Zhang Fei took advantage of the night to lead his troops to attack the Yan army outside the city, with Zhang Fei's courage and good fighting, this battle did not need to be doubted, killing the other party in a panic, flawlessly taking into account the situation in the Yan capital.

At the same time, Guan Yu, who was lurking in the city, led the soldiers to kill the defenders of the south city gate, desperately opened the city gate, and Zhao Yun led the soldiers and horses into the outer city.

There are more troops in the inner city, and when I heard that the outer city was breached, I immediately defended it strictly, but the officials and people in the inner city were blinded, why did Du Anze's soldiers and horses enter the city, could it be that he wanted to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne?

With the courage of the Great Xia soldiers and horses, he quickly took the outer city area, and the next thing was the inner city.

According to Guo Jia's strategy, a group of shield bearers formed a tortoiseshell array with a strong thick shield, approaching the inner city gate, and the Yan army on the city tower shot arrows wildly, but could not penetrate the Xia army in the tortoiseshell array.

In this case, hot oil should be poured down. However, because the Xia army was a surprise attack, the Yan army in the inner city was not prepared at all, and they had to face the dense arrow feathers of the Xia army, so they could not prevent the tortoiseshell formation of Great Xia from approaching the inner city gate.

And the role of the tortoiseshell array near the inner city gate is naturally to place gunpowder.

As I said before, when Great Xia assisted Yan to attack Wei, he never used gunpowder, but Wang Feng carried a batch of gunpowder, and its purpose was for the present.

Although the inner city gate is heavy, it is wood, not steel, after all, and because of the tight time, there are no sandbags and earth and stones inside the city gate, so when the city gate is blown open, the inner city will be exposed.

In this way, the Xia army in the tortoiseshell array placed the gunpowder and then retreated.

Zhao Yun held a strong bow, which was lit with kerosene, and aimed it at the gunpowder placed in front of the city gate.

Sou

The gunpowder hits the gunpowder and detonates instantly.

rumble

A shocking explosion sounded, and the heavy city gate was torn apart, and then, Xia Jun pushed the crashing wood and slammed it into the city gate, completely opening the passage.

"Kill!"

Xia Jun let out a roar, and then rushed into the inner city.

At this time, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 defenders in the city and the forbidden army of the palace, how could they be the opponents of tens of thousands of Xia troops? This battle lasted from night to day and evening, and Great Xia completely captured the twelve gates of Yandu, and attacked the imperial palace, completely taking Yandu.

Then Guo Jia ordered that the civil and military officials of Yan State be imprisoned in the palace, these officials were like mourners, but they did not expect that the most solid capital city would be broken like this, which was really a great shame.

Next, the news began to spread outward.

On the fifth day after Yan Linglong and Xiao Qiye met Xiao Rui, the news of Yandu's breach reached the south bank of Yandu, and in an instant, the soldiers stationed there were panicked.

The national capital is gone?

At this time, the little emperor Xiao Qiye took the initiative to appear, indicating that he had come here to drive the expedition in person.

The emperor and the eldest princess were here, which calmed the restlessness of the soldiers to a certain extent, but then, the Great Xia soldiers and horses on the north shore rode more than 300 warships to the south bank.
