Chapter 652: The death of King Yan

ps: There are five more chapters today, but it will be a little later.
September 16th.
After a five-day march, King Huainan and Cui Shang'an led one hundred thousand Huainan army soldiers to camp under Yingcheng.
After three days of preparations, Cui Shangan ordered artillery to bombard Yingzhou City, and Yingzhou City was in chaos.
"Artillery, it is artillery. How can King Huainan have artillery? It must be Xiao Ming who did it. It must be him."
During the temporary palace, King Zhongyan was furious. The reason he was so confident in Yingzhou City was that there were sixty artillery pieces installed in the city. These artillery pieces were part of his purchase of artillery from Qingzhou.
It is precisely because he is confident in the power of these artillery to defend the city that he will sneer at King Huainan, because he believes that his artillery will destroy King Huainan's army.
But now everything is beyond his expectation. King Huainan not only has artillery, but the range of the artillery is far beyond that of Yingzhou City.
Now Yingzhou City could only be bombarded by King Huainan’s artillery for nothing, but he couldn’t but couldn’t use the artillery to fight back, which made him suddenly furious.
Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming had not sold the real artillery to them from beginning to end.
"Father, if we continue like this, our walls will collapse." Cui Cheng's voice was a bit difficult.
A hundred thousand people besieged the city, and the densely packed soldiers blocked the siege of Yingzhou City. Now they can't beat it, nor can they escape.
"What if it collapses? How could the king's soldiers live by the city wall." King Yan suddenly pulled out his sword at this time, "This time this king will personally lead his army to fight to the death with King Huainan."
After all, King Yan strode towards Nancheng, where it was the key area for King Huainan to attack.
Cui Cheng and Cui Hao didn't rush up with King Chu this time. Cui Cheng looked at Cui Hao and said, "Now the rich family in the city has become disagreeable. They will never fight against King Huainan with our heart, and the father did not listen to the advice to Xiao Ming. How should you become a minister now?"
Cui Hao was full of despair. He said: "I have been in Qingzhou for more than a month. From what I have seen and heard, I still expected that the Three Kings Alliance would be defeated, but I never thought that the defeat is so complete now. Now that Xiao Ming is so powerful, the country of Yan will definitely Bear the brunt."
"What's the use of mentioning this now? I only ask if Xiao Ming told you how he would forgive Yan Guo when you were in Qingzhou." Cui Cheng said eagerly.
"Little brother Xiao Ming did let Pang Yukun tell me about it before he left. He said that unless the king of Yan took the charge of Jing and took the initiative to abandon the king and the state, he would not let the country of Yan go." Cui Hao said.
When Cui Cheng heard this, he was silent. In his opinion, this matter was absolutely impossible. He sighed deeply and drew his sword to chase King Yan.
Seeing Cui Cheng's departure, Cui Hao turned and walked in the opposite direction. When Xiao Ming ascended to the throne, he saw that the Three Kings Alliance might have nothing to do.
Pang Yukun did say that to him, but he also mentioned that if he was willing to help, he would protect his prosperity in the future.
He is only the second son of the Yan Wang, and to him the land of this feudal country will not belong to him anyway. Under such a situation, he is more worried about his own life, not what happened to Yan.
After leaving the temporary palace, Cui Hao walked straight to an alley. When he reached a house, he knocked six times, and the door was opened.
At this time, some wealthy clans had gathered in the yard. These wealthy clans were all opposed to King Yan's continued fight with Huainan. After all, the victory was already divided, and not everyone was willing to die with King Yan.
"Shizi, when will the troops rise?" a patriarch asked.
"My father has already ascended the city, only waiting for King Huainan's artillery to collapse the city wall, then the city will inevitably be in chaos, and that's when I was waiting for the soldiers." Cui Hao's eyes flickered.
He said in his heart: Father, you have treated me unkindly. Don't blame me for being unrighteous. My eldest brother melted in Yan Country, but you sent me to Qingzhou to suffer.
The tycoons nodded after hearing the words, waiting for the city to be broken.
Outside the city, fifty artillery shells continued to bombard the southern city gate. Deep pits appeared under the fragile southern city wall. These pits continued to expand until there was a "boom", and the entire city gate crashed. collapse.
"Father, the city wall is down." Cui Shangan said in surprise, he immediately prepared to lead troops into the city.
"Slow! It's not the time yet." King Huainan looked at the collapsed city gate on the east side of the main gate, and then looked to the west. At this time, the artillery of the west gate was still intact. He said, "Now concentrate the artillery on the west wall. Once the city wall collapses, immediately attack the city."
Cui Shangan realized what he saw when he looked at Xicheng. He said: "The artillery given by the emperor is really powerful. King Yan's artillery can't hit us at all, but we have been hitting us."
King Huainan looked gloomy. He said, "This is the emperor's strength. He has long been wary of us feudal lords, so he sold some inferior artillery to King Yan, King Liang, King Zhao and others."
"Did the emperor see the great chaos in the Great Yu Congress?" Cui Shangan asked in shock.
King Huainan said: "Who knows this? But this alone is enough to see that our emperor is not a simple character."
When the two were talking, the city wall of Xicheng also collapsed under shelling. At this time, King Huainan and Cui Shangan were shocked at the same time.
Immediately after the sound of war drums rang through the entire battlefield, the soldiers of the Huainan Army roared towards Yingzhou City, whose morale was boosted.
In Yingzhou City, King Yan and his guards evaded the collapsed city wall in embarrassment. Through the collapsed city wall, he saw soldiers flooding Yingzhou City like a tide.
King Yan's eyes were blood red, and he held his sword and shouted: "Soldiers, fight to the end with the king and the enemy."
His voice fell. Except for the guards shouting loudly, the other soldiers were insensitive. Some of the strong men who had just been pulled into the army even trembled with fright.
When have they seen a powerful weapon like artillery~EbookFREE.me~ Besides, they were forced to join the army.
"kill!"
Huainan troops poured in from the two collapses at the same time, and the well-equipped soldiers immediately fought with the soldiers guarding the city.
Some tycoons who supported King Yan also took part in a battle with the Huainan army. For a while, the walls were full of howls and slaying, and the corpses of the two soldiers continued to fall on the ground, and blood was flowing on the ground.
King Yan led his personal guards into the battle. Just as he was killing Zheng Nong, a loud shout for killing suddenly sounded in the city, and a group of powerful tribes with red cloth strips on foreheads rushed out of the streets.
It's just that they are not fighting with the Huainan army, but fighting with the Chu army and the powerful tribe who supported him. At this time, the morale of the Chu army collapsed instantly.
King Yan seemed to have lost his strength at this time. Just as he was stunned, a Huainan army general slammed a sharp sword into King Huainan's chest.
Spit out a mouthful of blood, King Yan gradually sank into darkness.
