Chapter 90: Emperor Yan who is greedy for life and afraid of death

Late at night.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the night was dark.

The cold wind howled,

The country of Yan in early spring,

The weather hasn't quite warmed up yet.

Especially at night, the cold wind still carries the chill of winter.

North of Jicheng,

In the middle of a jungle.

The soldiers of the Qi army have already been assembled and are ready to go.

Huo Qubing rode his horse to the front of the military formation, and his eyes swept over the soldiers of the Qi army in front of him, "Soldiers, Yan Yan is tonight!" ”

Without too many words,

Just a short sentence,

It ignited the blood in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qi army!

Under the cover of night,

The 20,000 Qi army quietly came to the north gate of Jicheng.

Right now

Due to the threat of Huo Qu disease.

Jicheng can be described as heavily guarded.

merely

Emperor Yan put the focus of defense on the south gate.

As for the other three gates, although there are also a lot of troops stationed there, the vigilance is obviously a little worse.

And

The North Gate area is still controlled by a general surnamed Qin of the Yan State.

Among the people who have written honesty to Huo Qubing in the past few days, the head of the Qin family is also impressively listed.

"Look, General, there seems to be movement in the city!"

When the great army approaches,

The deputy general hurriedly pointed in the direction of the tower of Jicheng and reminded.

Huo Quzhi looked up,

I saw that on the city tower, the firelight flickered, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

apparently

There's a fight going on on the castle tower.

Then

Suddenly, there was a sound of the iron lock stirring,

The drawbridge at the city gate in front of it began to descend slowly.

The adjutant general was overjoyed: "General, the city gate is open!" ”

However, before Huo Qubing gave the order to charge, another general reminded: "General, be careful of deception, it is better to let the last general lead the troops in first, and after confirming that it is correct, the general is leading the troops to kill!" ”

Huo Quzhi nodded and agreed to the general's proposal.

Then the general led 3,000 soldiers and horses and rushed into the city.

And quickly took control of the city gates.

The whole process,

It can be said that there is no obstacle.

There was no ambush to worry about.

Then

A general of the Qin family came to the Qi army and pointed at the city Yaoyao behind him: "This general, that direction is where the palace is located, and Emperor Yan is there!" ”

.......

Palace.

Emperor Yan hugged the two concubines and had already fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time,

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the hall, which woke him up.

Emperor Yan shouted impatiently: "Someone! ”

"What's going on out there and why is it so noisy!"

The eunuch, who heard the shout, hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's a noise coming from the north of the city, and I don't know what happened there." ”

As soon as the words fell,

A general hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

"The Qin family surrendered to the enemy, just now they opened the north gate, and the Qi army has already killed in!"

"What do you say?!!!"

The sleepiness on Emperor Yan's face instantly dissipated without a trace.

What filled it was a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"I treat the Qin family well, I didn't expect that when the national crisis was at hand, they would dare to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?!"

"Traitor !!"

"They're damned!"

Emperor Yan's face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily.

Angry shouts,

Wake up the concubine on the bed.

In a daze, they only saw Emperor Yan standing in front of the bed, subconsciously reaching out and grabbing Emperor Yan's wrist and pulling it back.

"Your Majesty, come back soon~ The concubine is scared alone."

The current Emperor Yan,

Righteous head.

How can you have the heart to indulge in beauty.

A backhand slap was slapped over, and a loud slap resounded in the hall.

"Get out!"

"Don't bother!"

At this moment,

Cheng

The fire was blazing, and the ground trembled like an earthquake.

After taking complete control of the North Gate,

Huo Qubing took the lead, led the cavalry behind him, and rushed into the city.

The people were all shivering in their homes with their windows and doors closed.

The defenders of Yan State, who were belated, wanted to block Huo Qubing outside the city at first.

However, those newly recruited soldiers, where did they resist Huo Quai's menacing offensive.

As soon as the two armies touched, they were directly torn apart.

Countless Yan troops were crushed into pulp by iron hooves.

The elite of the Yan Kingdom had already been beaten by the Qi army last year, and there was not much left.

Now these Yan troops,

They are all temporarily recruited villagers during this period of time.

These people, when have they ever seen such a bloody scene.

This group of new troops who have just entered the battlefield have already been frightened in the face of the Qi army like tigers and wolves.

The morale that was already small collapsed in an instant.

The screams of the Yan army resounded in the night sky.

The blood path spread from the city gate in the direction of the palace.

Huo Quzhi waved the spear in his hand, and all he left behind was the corpse of Yan Jun.

The Qi army swept away in the direction of the palace like a tide.

Emperor Yan at this time,

has put on his armor and led the forbidden army to support the north gate.

As a result, what caught his eyes was that his own army was like headless flies, hugging their heads and scurrying.

At this time, the Yan army, where is there any will to resist.

Either you are running around with your head in your arms, or you are kneeling on the ground and surrendering with your hands raised.

The point is

There is more than one Qi army chasing in the rear,

Even the private armies of many families also participated in it and pursued the Yan army.

At this moment,

Emperor Yan only had four words in his mind: the general trend has gone!

A sense of sadness surged in my heart.

Not long since

In his own eyes, Qi Guo is just an ant that can be pinched to death at will.

But now, he was forced to a dead end by this ant.

In Emperor Yan's mind, he involuntarily came up with this time last year.

The scene of Qi cutting land to himself and begging for peace under the peak of the Yan army, how proud he was at that time.

But now,

With two big defeats last fall.

Now it's all gone.

In the midst of desolation,

An indescribable anger erupted in my heart.

He was not reconciled!

Unwilling to let Dayan die in his own hands.

Back in the day

He also led thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the field.

He has made great achievements.

It's just that now with the increase in age, his body is gradually getting richer, and he is slowly slacking off.

Under grief and indignation,

Emperor Yan clenched the weapon in his hand and let out an unwilling roar: "Han Lin dog thief, you have actually forced my dignified Emperor Yan to such a situation, I will fight with you!" ”

"All the soldiers obey the order and charge with me!"

Emperor Yan raised the long sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword pointed at the Qi army in front of him.

The Praetorian Guards behind him were in a roar.

Follow Emperor Yan to charge towards the iron cavalry of the Qi army.

however

their actions,

It's completely a mantis arm as a car!

The so-called Forbidden Army, although well-armed.

But they have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, where can they compare to the elite division led by Huo Quzhi.

As soon as the two armies touched,

In the blink of an eye, it was pierced by the offensive of the Qi army.

Looking at his own forbidden army, he was so vulnerable in front of the Qi army.

Emperor Yan seemed to have been doused with a bucket of ice water, and the hot blood that had just ignited in his heart dropped directly to the freezing point.

Just now, he was thinking about fighting to the death with the Qi army,

Suddenly he was afraid.

Especially looking at the Yan army beside him, the tragic situation under the sword of the Qi army.

That fear of death made him no longer have the anger he had just now.

Emperor Yan has only one thought now,

That's to escape!

As long as you can escape from here, there are still several cities in the north of Yan Kingdom.

He can completely recruit a new army of soldiers and horses and continue to compete with the Qi State.

"I can't die!"

"As long as I am alive, the Yan Kingdom will not die!"

"I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the future to recover Dayan and retain hope!"

With this in mind,

Emperor Yan no longer had the will to fight, so he turned around and ran towards the east gate.
