"What?"

"Emperor Yan personally led his army south?"

Xiong Heng suddenly heard the report of the spies, and couldn't help but grasp the sword, Long Yan was nervous, and walked back and forth.

Lin Xiao led the troops to line up outside the city, eyeing the tiger, Yingcheng was in a bad situation.

Lin Feng didn't feel at ease to stay in Wuwei City to celebrate the festival, so he personally led the army south.

As a result, Yingcheng's situation is even worse!

Even, when Lin Feng led the army to come, Lin Xiao intended to show favor to Lin Feng, and sent his elite soldiers to attack him forcibly.

In an instant, Xiong Heng's thoughts were confused, and he froze in place, like a wooden chicken.

In the tense atmosphere, some courtiers secretly looked at Xiong Heng, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and said cowardly: "Your Majesty, the Yan army is powerful, and even Wuwei City was broken by the Yan army.

At this time, Emperor Yan had the idea of recruiting the emperor, if the emperor led his troops out of the city and surrendered, Weichen believed that Emperor Yan would definitely treat the emperor well."

"That's right, the emperor, Xiong Wu was defeated and surrendered, and was rewarded by Emperor Yan, the emperor is in Yingcheng, and there are elite soldiers and good generals under his tent, and he will surrender to Yan State, you can take the opportunity to put forward conditions to Emperor Yan, I believe that Emperor Yan will definitely satisfy the emperor!" Seeing that Xiong Heng had no objections, some Wenchen came out and echoed!

Hearing the sound, Xiong Heng insisted on shaking the handle for a long time!

Surrender?

He surrendered to Yan Kingdom, and he could indeed escape death, be rewarded by Lin Feng, and spend the rest of his life in peace.

It's a pity, what is the difference between returning to Yan Country and sending people under the fence, after all, it depends on other people's faces!

"Surrender!"

"Lin Feng can't wait to cut off my first-class sacrificial flag, how dare this king surrender!"

Having made up his mind, Xiong Heng said sharply, to this day, he still hasn't dispelled the idea of surrendering, but he doesn't dare to surrender!

At this moment, he clutched his sword tightly, swept the courtiers in the hall with cold eyes, and ordered: "Post a notice to inform the soldiers and people of the whole city that the Yan army killed more than 100,000 Chu troops in the pit of Wuwei City, and today the Yan army will break the city and slaughter the people of Yingcheng.

The officials in the city immediately called on the people to go to the city wall to assist the defenders of the city and resist the Yan army!

In addition, send a letter to An Ziran and Li Musheng as soon as possible, instructing them to lead the troops to avoid Lin Xiao's surveillance and choose a good opportunity to enter the city from the south gate!"

The high walls of Yingcheng City are thick, and the food in the city is abundant, if An Ziran, Li Musheng will bring the elite soldiers back to the city!

They gathered troops to defend to the death, and the Yan army may not have the ability to break through the city.

He was afraid!

He panicked!

He wants to protect his life!

What's more, he has Xiong's blood in his body, as the emperor of Chu, how can he survive secretly.

"Your Majesty, if you defend Yingcheng, you will take the lives of the people in the city, as well as the soldiers under General An and General Li!" Youwen Chen was sincerely frightened, his face was pale, and he did not support Xiong Heng's suggestion to defend Yingcheng, and tried to ask: "Weichen is willing to go out of the city in person and negotiate with Emperor Yan to ensure that the emperor will return to Yan and be safe and sound!"

Hum!

Xiong Heng snorted, walked down the jade steps, patted the Wenchen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lord Xia, do you want to negotiate with Emperor Yan on behalf of me?"

"Weichen just wants to protect the emperor's safety!" Lord Xia noticed Xiong Hengpi's smiling and unsmiling look, and was afraid, and replied with chattering teeth!

Bang!

Xiong Heng pulled out his sword violently, snorted, stabbed into Lord Xia's abdomen, and pulled out the sword!

Regardless of the life and death of Lord Xia, he took out a Jinpa and wiped his sword, and said with a face on Yingcheng: "You mention me out of the city, you want to collude with Emperor Yan and murder me!"

Xiong Heng suddenly became furious, and killed the courtiers in the court, which shocked the ministers in the palace to be vigilant, and they didn't dare to talk more in order to protect themselves!

From the mouths of eunuchs and palace maids, many courtiers learned that in recent days, Xiong Heng has killed several palace maids and eunuchs who looked unpleasant.

Today, Xiong Heng killed his courtiers in the palace, making many courtiers feel threatened!

When the ministers were trembling, Xiong Heng wiped off his sword, put the sword into the sheath, and said with a firm expression: "People are inherently dead, what are you afraid of?" Whoever dares to mention the matter of returning to the Yan Army again, there is no forgiveness for killing him!"

The strong attitude did not give the courtiers any chance to resist, which made the courtiers nod their heads, surrender in panic, and dare not stay for a long time.

In Southern Chuzhong, An Ziran, Li Musheng, who led the troops to fight, and the elite Chu army under their accounts, had no idea of surrendering to Yan State.

In the imperial court, many courtiers had the idea of surrendering to Yan Kingdom, and even tried to kill Xiong Heng!

It's a pity that I am afraid that An Ziran, Li Musheng, and their elite soldiers will encounter death threats, and they dare not act rashly.

On the same day, rumors spread in Yingcheng, and news came out from the imperial court that the Yan army was about to go south, preparing to break Yingcheng and slaughter the people in the city.

Gradually the news spread throughout the city, and some among the people believed and some doubted.

However, the people and generals were panicked and anxious, and the Yan army had slaughtered the city in the past!

At present, they are sticking to the city of Ying, and they have not surrendered for a long time in the combination of soft and hard in the forest owl, which may cause the anger of the Yan army.

In addition, it was rumored in the palace that the emperor and Wuwei City lived and died together!

For a time, many panicked people in the city spontaneously went to the head of the city to help the defenders of the city defend the city!

There are also a small number of people, waiting for the changes, choosing to wait for the opportunity to move.

It was night, Li Musheng and An Ziran took the Chu army under the tent, designed to get rid of the surveillance of the spies under Lin Xiao's tent, and in the middle of the night, they quietly entered the city under the cover of night.

The elite soldiers will enter the city, quickly take over the defenders at the head of the city, and carry out strict defense.

The next day, Xiong Heng learned that Li Musheng and An Ziran had elite soldiers to defend the city, and his confidence doubled.

He has soldiers, what is he afraid of!

What's more, the defense of Yingcheng is extraordinary, for hundreds of years, no matter how brave the soldiers of the princes and countries are, in the defense of the Chu army, they have never jumped over the moat, let alone break into the Yingcheng.

The army was stationed, Xiong Heng discussed military affairs with An Ziran and Li Musheng, and deliberately strengthened the defense at the head of the city, and secretly dispatched elites by the way to occupy the water source in the upper reaches of the moat, so as to prevent the Yan army from taking the opportunity to poison and threaten the safety of the people in the city.

Two days later, Lin Feng and Zhang Yu led the troops and appeared outside Yingcheng.

Convergence with Lin Xiao and Meng Kuo's elite soldiers.

Outside Yingcheng, the strength of the Yan army has doubled, and its strength is much stronger.

The Yan military camp alone has a military tent, stretching for more than ten miles, looking at it from the head of Yingcheng, it is extremely spectacular, and it makes the Chu army in the city tremble!

In the military tent, Lin Xiao and Meng Kuo reported to Lin Feng on the front-line affairs, and also reported on the defense of Yingcheng!

In the end, Lin Xiao let out a long sigh and said quite depressedly: "Brother Huang, the State of Chu is the overlord of the south, Yingcheng is the imperial capital of the State of Chu, the city has thick walls, and there is a wide moat, the Yan army stormed Yingcheng, and the casualties of the army must be countless!"

Two days ago, An Ziran and Li Musheng led the elite to return to Yingcheng, at this moment the city was well defended, and the younger brother felt that he had to go through a vicious battle to seize Yingcheng!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly, but he was not anxious!

Before leading the troops south, he had already realized that it was impossible for the Yan army to easily capture Yingcheng and capture Xiong Heng alive.

Now I suddenly heard Lin Xiao's report, although I was not surprised, I was still worried.

If Yingcheng cannot be easily captured and a fierce battle breaks out in Yingcheng, the casualties of the Yan army will be immeasurable.

I couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Second brother, General Meng, when I was in Wuwei City, I rewarded those who assassinated Xiong Heng, could it be that in Yingcheng, there were no officials willing to assassinate Xiong Heng, and no people were willing to open the city gate?"

If this plan doesn't work, the Yan army will have to fight hard to take the city.

Hearing the sound, Lin Xiao looked aggrieved and depressed, and clenched his fists and reported: "Brother Huang, Xiong Heng is in Yingcheng, and he still has the support of the people, not to mention, Xiong Heng suddenly heard the emperor's brother's killing order, and he has already become a bird with a frightened bow, and the younger brother heard that Xiong Heng traveled and wore a sword, and in the past few days, he has killed six or seven ministers, eunuchs, and maids in a row!"

The younger brothers felt that to eradicate Xiong Heng, they had to storm Yingcheng fiercely, so that the officials and people in the city felt panicked, and when they were in danger, and they had no support, they could take the risk and take the risk of assassinating Xiong Heng, or open the city gate."

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the prince's proposal is right, if the defenders in Yingcheng are not forced to the end of the road, he will definitely not take risks and make a desperate bet!" In the military tent, Meng Kuo bowed his head and agreed with Lin Xiao's proposal!

At this time, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "In this way, there is only one battle between the two sides!"

"That's the only way!"

Lin Xiao, Meng Kuo nodded!

Lin Feng did not hesitate, and ordered loudly: "Zhang Yu, send a letter to Hou Mingfeng, Feng Shihu, Zhao Jun, Feng Yi, and Ju Wentai as soon as possible, and tell them to lead the troops to assemble in Yingcheng, Meng Kuo, you lead the mechanical army, try to attack the city, strive to destroy Yingcheng, and create a sense of oppression for the people in the city!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yu, Meng Kuo did not hesitate.

"General Meng, Yingcheng is located in the south, and there is a moat next to it, send a few soldiers to secretly cross the river at night and try to dig the foundation of Yingcheng!" Lin Feng reminded!

Yingcheng is located in the south for hundreds of years, Lin Feng feels that if his guess is correct, Yingcheng must gradually relax, if the ground is soft, maybe dig channels, divert water to wash, catapult onslaught, two-pronged attack, seize the city.

However, his idea is immature, and he still needs to be personally tested by Meng Kuo's troops!

Zhang Yu, Lin Xiao, and Meng Kuo withdrew from the military tent, and Meng Kuo returned to the camp to gather elite generals, carrying all kinds of chariots, and marching towards Yingcheng.

Above Yingcheng, the defenders saw the mechanical army coming violently, as if countless giants wanted to break into Yingcheng, and they were suddenly afraid, and they exchanged their heads and muttered to themselves.

"General, the Yan army is strong, can we stop it?"

"Yes, general, the Yan army is strong in armament, like a giant moving forward, the villain heard that Emperor Yan buried Wuwei City with ordnance and killed hundreds of thousands of elites under Emperor Chu's account!"

"General, if you don't surrender to the Yan army, we will definitely not be able to defend Yingcheng!"

There were soldiers at the head of the city who kept asking Li Musheng, which made Li Musheng's heart frizzy, and shouted: "Whoever dares to grow the morale of others to destroy his own prestige and chew his tongue indiscriminately, Hugh blames himself and will be killed on the spot!"

"Remember, the emperor insists on resisting Yan, no matter whether the Yan army has three heads and six arms, or an iron-armored bronze man, you must defend the city with the general, and if you want to surrender, the emperor should also lead everyone to surrender!"

Hearing the sound, the Chu army at the head of the city shrank his head and was silent, for fear of annoying Li Musheng and inviting death.

However, what should come will always come.

Meng Kuo led the mechanical army to make arrangements and immediately storm Yingcheng!

Although there is a wide moat separated by a mechanical army, the mechanical army cannot climb over the moat and lead the troops to charge, but the catapults and bed crossbows are fired in panic, which still causes a lot of harm to the Chu army in Yingcheng.

"General, we can hurt the Chu army, but we can't threaten Yingcheng, the villain has an immature proposal!" The mechanical army continued to attack the city, and the harvest was very small!

Continuous onslaught, on the city of Yingcheng across the river, but the tiger eats the sky, unable to claw, there are soldiers close to the Mengkuodao.

"Something to say!" Mengkuodao!

"General, when the emperor used stones to fill in the outside of Wuwei City, why didn't we fill in the moat?" The soldier asked.

"Fill in the moat?"

Meng Kuo muttered to himself when he heard this, this is simply impossible!

There was no moat outside Wuwei City, but the moat outside Yingcheng was at least ten zhang, and it was all living water, so it was impossible to fill it up!

Even if it is barely filled, the river overflows, threatening the Yan army instead!

"Instead of filling in the moat, why don't you venture across the river at night and abolish the walls of Yingcheng according to the emperor's proposal?" Meng Kuo muttered!
