Chapter 42 Jimo broke the siege, and the Yan army fell apart

After Yan Zishu took over the Yan army, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Jimo City, but Jimo City was solid under the management of Tiandan, and the Yan army's attacks were frustrated again and again, with heavy losses, and the morale of the Yan army was greatly damaged. Yan Zishu was really angry and angry, and even ordered the soldiers to hang the corpses of the dead soldiers of Qi State on a tree and beat them with leather whips, and after the whipping, they brutally dismembered the corpses this time, hoping to intimidate the soldiers and civilians in Jimo City.

Seeing that the corpses of their compatriots were trampled on by the enemy army in this way, the soldiers and civilians of Qi all wept bitterly, and the city of Jimo was suddenly full of mourning. But what Yan Zishu didn't expect was that his act of exterminating humanity not only failed to deter the soldiers and civilians of Qi State, but aroused their hatred, and they swore more firmly to defend Jimo, the last city of hope of Qi State.

The next morning, thousands of city residents gathered in front of the general's mansion to make a plead to Tiandan, vowing to defend Jimo to the death and avenge the death of their loved ones.

Tian Dan strode out of the house to the front of the gate, and when he saw everyone's excitement, he said excitedly: "Brothers and sisters, I, Tian Dan, swear here today, even if I am broken bones, I will avenge this blood and blood for our relatives and the heroes of our Daqi, the city is in the people, and the city is dead."

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead." Everyone shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the sky for a while, and the spirit was as strong as a rainbow. After the shouting, Tian Dan continued: "Last night, I discussed with the generals to stop the battle and find a plan, which is enough to break the Yan army."

"The general is mighty, and the Great Qi will win." There was another thunderous shout from the field. Tian Dan waved his hand and said: "But this plan still needs the help of the villagers and elders."

"The general is in charge of orders, and I will wait." The crowd quickly boiled, and everyone was gearing up. Tian Dan bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Tian Mou has thanked you here for me first, but I don't need everyone to charge into battle this time, I just need everyone to help me raise some oil, artillery and strong and running cattle."

Everyone looked at each other, thinking to themselves what the general was going to do with these things at this time, but everyone was still ordered to go and find them.

By dusk, everyone had moved all the oil, artillery, and cattle they could find in the city to the general's palace. After Tian Dan thanked everyone, he ordered the soldiers to pour fire oil on the oxen, and hung cannons on the tail of the oxen, ready to stop, and the soldiers drove the oxen to the city gate.

The Yan army outside the city was nervously arranging their troops, preparing for an attack. Suddenly, Tian Dan gave an order, the city gate opened, and the soldiers lit the cannon on the tail of the ox, and suddenly the cannon roared, and the cattle were frightened, and they rushed to the Yan army on the opposite side like crazy.

The soldiers of the Yan army have never seen such a battle, they were all stunned for a while, stunned like a chicken, and only relieved themselves when the ox rushed closer, and they fled one after another like crying dad and shouting mother, poor Yan army soldiers, who were trampled over by the hooves of the ox, and those who trampled on each other were even worse, crying and grabbing the ground everywhere, screaming and wailing. The cannon burned out, the sparks ignited the oil, and the mad bull that rushed into the crowd suddenly turned into huge fireballs, devouring life and burning hope. At this time, the soldiers in Jimo City had already sharpened their knives and were ready to go, Tian Dan saw the situation, drew his sword and shouted to the sky, and the soldiers rushed to the Yan army camp like arrows from the string.

In this battle, the Qi army killed more than 10,000 enemies, and the Yan army escaped except for Yan Zishu and more than ten guards, the whole army was annihilated, and the siege of Jimo was solved.

When Le Yi, who was far away in Jicheng, heard the news, he was immediately furious, and he regretted that he shouldn't have done it in the first place. So he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and hurried to the camp of the Yan army of Qi without notifying him.

When he arrived at the camp, he saw that Yan Zishu and the others were drinking at this time and glad that they had escaped death, Le Yi suddenly became angry, drew his sword and shouted: "Shameless Yan thief, bury my tens of thousands of Dayan soldiers for no reason, I really deserve to be killed." Yan Zishu just wanted to argue, but suddenly felt a cold air coming, Le Yi's sword had slashed across his neck, Yan Zishu's head fell to the ground, and he died of anger, and all the soldiers next to him were dumbfounded.

At this time, in a secret room in the border city of the slippery country, Tian Dan was prostrating himself to Chen Xiang. Tian Dan said: "The Jiang clan of the king of Qi lost his morality, so that the people's hearts turned back, and the heavens and the earth were angry, and now they have been punished. I also hope that the king can have mercy and protect my great Qi foundation, and my thousands of people will be grateful to Dade. Chen Xiang said coldly: "You Qi State is a dignified state of oriental etiquette, but for many years you have been with the Western Barbarian Qin people, and you are the enemy of my Central Plains countries, so that my Central Plains land has almost perished, and your crimes should be punished, and your deeds should be destroyed." Tian Dan wept bitterly when he heard this, and wept and said: "After this lesson, my Qi country has woken up from the beginning, and in the future, we should take the king as the bull's ear, and we will swear to obey each other." After Tian Dan finished speaking, he kowtowed not only to show his determination, but then changed his words and said: "If the Yan Kingdom swallows up my Qi Kingdom, it will inevitably sit big, but the Yan King is an insatiable and capricious person, as long as the Qin State is slightly tempted, it is inevitable that he will not fall into the trap of the Qin State, and turn to embarrass the king and the slippery country." Chen Xiang was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and left.

On the second day, Chen Xiang withdrew all the slippery troops on the grounds that the war in the west was tight, and the Yan army became a lone army in the Qi State; Le Yi, the commander of the Yan army, angered the Empress Dowager Yan and the Yan clan because of his angry beheading of Yan Zishu, and the king of Yan had ordered him to be arrested and sent back for interrogation. The whole army of the Yan army was suddenly panicked, and everyone was at a loss.
