Chapter 319: Offensive and Defensive Battle 1

After Mu Qingyun, the general of Pingnan, and Lexa, the general of Fudong, learned that the Northern Thunder quickly pacified the Northern Army, they immediately put aside all their prejudices, shook hands and made peace, and unanimously decided to capture Yecheng first, and then deal with the Northern Thunder.

The coalition army totaled 50,000, and the starry night march finally arrived at the gate of Yecheng before the Lei family army of the Northern Thunder returned to Yecheng.

Yecheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, the city gate was closed at this time, and the city gate was full of newly recruited soldiers, and the Yan King who Qiu Yan pretended to be also personally stood on the head of the city with hundreds of civil and military officials, looking at the black and oppressive coalition soldiers under the city.

Mu Qingyun and Lexa also saw King Yan at the head of the city, they no longer had any reverence for King Yan at this time, and some just captured Yecheng and controlled the core of Yan Kingdom.

Qiu Yan coldly glanced at the guards beside her, she knew that it was these people who were the generals and the coalition forces that they provoked, and now they were at their own mercy and had to face an army of 50,000.

The guards now regret dying, their original plan was not like this, but unfortunately the situation is developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Mu Qingyun's foreign generals have become stronger and stronger as they have more and more troops in their hands, and they have long disobeyed the orders of the guards, and now there is only one way left in front of the guards to defend Yecheng.

"Mu Qingyun, Lexar and others are deeply favored by the emperor, and they don't want to serve the country and gather people to rebel, you are guilty!" The guards stood at the head of the city and shouted at the coalition forces below.

Yan Wei's words can be said to be emotional, and what he regrets most now is to invite Mu Qingyun, a white-eyed wolf.

"Your Majesty is mediocre, trusts the villain, kills loyal ministers, and the minister Mu Qingyun can't bear to destroy the Yan Guoshe in his hands, so he will raise troops and clear the monarch's side!"

"Lord Han, didn't you inform the general to raise troops? How can you ask this general now! ”

Yan Wei's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, this official is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he have an affair with you!"

Qiu Yan has been watching coldly, she knows whether it is a person or a ghost, but now is not the time to deal with traitors.

"You are a Dayan soldier, but now you are pointing the finger at the national capital, and you are ashamed!" Qiu Yan roared, so that everyone in the rebels could hear his words.

The emperor spoke, and many of the rebel soldiers bowed their heads, not daring to look up at the tower.

"Soldiers, don't listen to the traitors, I hereby promise, as long as I lay down my arms, I will not blame the past!"

After all, King Yan is still the king of Yan State, and most of the soldiers are the people of Yan State, and the education he received since childhood is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.

Mu Qingyun saw that his subordinates' minds were gradually changing, and hurriedly said: "King Yan has no way, kill loyal ministers, don't believe his words!"

"Give me an attack, the one who attacks Yecheng first, and seal the Marquis of Wanhu!"

Inevitably having a long night, Mu Qingyun directly gave the order to attack, and his direct troops began to rush towards Yecheng, and those soldiers who had originally intended to move also followed their companions to attack the city.

"Kill!"

The crowd of black oppressors began to rush towards the gates of Yecheng, and Qiu Yan immediately ordered 3,000 new troops to resist.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A rain of arrows of dense fear fell from Yecheng and shot towards the coalition forces under the city, and the siege of Yecheng officially began.

Dangdangdang

As the coalition ran away, they erected round shields and put them above their heads to ward off the rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows hit the wooden shield, making a clanging sound, but it protected everyone, and seeing that the first wave of people was about to run under the city gate, Qiu Yan immediately changed his strategy.

"Boiling oil!"

With Qiu Yan's order, the soldier put down the bow and arrow in his hand, took out the hot oil, and poured down, this time the shield could no longer block the hot oil, the hot oil flowed in from the gap between the shield and the shield, and the hot coalition soldiers cried and called their mother.

"Mom, it's hot!"

"My face!"

"Help!"

The coalition soldiers rolled into a ball, their bodies bubbling hot, and they couldn't even hold their shields.

"Shoot the arrows again!" Qiu Yan saw the opportunity, the archers rained arrows, and the coalition forces were all targets, and they didn't even need to aim, so they shot them to death and nailed them to the ground.

After a round of attacks, it ended with the upper hand on King Yan's side, but Qiu Yan didn't have a good face, because she found that the attacking side was all the blue-clothed Pingnan army, and the other two armies were not among them.

"Divide 1,000 people to the east gate to support Grandpa Bai!" Qiu Yan immediately thought that the southern army was separated from the eastern and western armies, and the southern army attacked the main gate to attract Qiu Yan's attention, and the other two armies attacked the side gate.

Because Yecheng had less than 3,000 troops at this time, which dwarfed him, Mu Qingyun adopted a strategy of dividing his troops and agreed with Lexa that whoever attacked Yecheng first would open the city gate from the inside.

After Mu Qingyun found that there were traces of the movement of soldiers and horses on the city tower, he immediately launched a general attack, and he had 30,000 horses under his command, and he was confident that he would deal with Qiu Yan's defenders of less than 2,000.

Knock knock

Mu Qingyun personally beat the war drums, 30,000 sergeants began to mobilize, and 5,000 people charged forward, followed by the cloud echelon and the tools used to hit the city gate.

Five thousand soldiers were not afraid of death, covering the siege equipment, neither the rain of arrows nor the boiling oil could stop their footsteps, one person fell and the other made up for it, and the defenders of Yecheng gradually ran out.

When the first cloud ladder was erected above the head of Yecheng City, Qiu Yan knew that he would not be able to make a move.

"Whew!" Qiu Yan took a deep breath, and a cold current erupted in both palms, hitting the city wall, and the cold air went down with the city wall, freezing it.

When the entire city wall and gates were covered with a thick layer of ice, the ladder would slide down as soon as the wall was erected, and the coalition forces could no longer climb to the top of the city.

After the city gate was wrapped in ice, it was like being added a layer of armor, and the coalition forces could not break the ice with siege equipment, so they finally hit a crack, which was quickly replenished by Qiu Yan's cold air.

Because of Qiu Yan's cold power reinforcement, the main gate of Yecheng became impregnable, and the coalition forces could not enter it for a while.

Mu Qingyun saw his own soldiers fall under the city gate one by one, and he immediately became anxious.

"Get on the trebuchet!"

Before, Mu Qingyun was reluctant to destroy Yecheng, and he also wanted to use the hard city wall to resist the Lei family army of the Northern Thunder after capturing Yecheng.

But Qiu Yan's tenacity was beyond his expectations, and it was impossible for Mu Qingyun to lose any more.

Hula!

A boulder was ejected into the sky by a trebuchet, like a cannonball, towards the Yecheng tower, and the ministers were half frightened to death when they saw the boulder.

The stone is huge, once it hits the city tower, the damage caused is incomparable, above the city tower, few people can survive, those Wenchen have never seen such a battle, and they immediately hugged their heads.

"Chilling Glimpse"

At the critical moment, Qiu Yan took out his knife, and the huge ice knife cut through the boulder, and the boulder that was split in half fell quickly towards the earth, killing many soldiers of the Southern Army.

One after another, the boulders were thrown at Yecheng, and they were blocked by Qiu Yan's halfway, and the downstairs of Yecheng was full of boulders split in half, which affected the siege of the southern army and blocked the direction of its attack.

Qiu Yan's toughness made Mu Qingyun have no way at all, although Qiu Yan's side suffered setbacks, but the east gate guarded by Bai Gonggong encountered an unprecedented crisis!
