The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 698: Taking the imperial capital of Yan Kingdom by surprise

Time moves forward by half a month.

Yue Shuying had already returned to Yandu from Daxia, and told Yan Linglong what Xiao Rui had said, and Yan Linglong began to prepare to go to Yanjiang.

Before setting off, Yan Linglong summoned three ministers of the auxiliary state and told them to keep an eye on the situation in Yandu, and at the same time asked about Wang Feng's troops.

The scouts came to report that after "Wang Feng" was captured, Wang Feng's army had already left Wei State and entered Yan State. The route they took was the westernmost county of Yan State.

Daxia's soldiers and horses had already invaded the territory of the Yan Kingdom, so Yan Linglong had a long discussion with the three auxiliary ministers about this enemy army passing through the territory.

It stands to reason that it should be fought, after all, the Xia army has already invaded the country of Yan. But it is very difficult to fight, because the current strength of Yan State is too small, and the main force is used to attack Wei State. It is the last guarantee, and there are almost no troops of more than 10,000 in other counties, so they dare not fight if they want to.

The final result of the four people's discussion was to let the other party leave, and send scouts to watch closely. Once the other party made any changes, just stick to Yandu.

Moreover, the other party did not have the equipment to attack the city, and the distance was far away, so it was impossible to take Yan down. However, during this period of time, Yan Linglong and Xiao Rui should be able to negotiate.

Yan Linglong is full of confidence. With Xiao Qiye's wonderful move, she believes that she can protect the country of Yan and make Xiao Rui retreat!

So Yan Linglong set off for Yanjiang.

Unfortunately, what Yan Linglong didn't know was that Wang Feng's troops were indeed well-behaved and walked through the west, which was far away from Yandu. Once they attacked Yandu, they would be noticed, so this army did not plan to attack Yandu. . But these soldiers and horses are not all troops, only more than 200,000.

As early as when the soldiers and horses withdrew from the Wei State, the troops had already been divided into two groups.

With more than 200,000 troops on the main road, under the leadership of Wang Feng and Huo Xingye, they obediently withdrew, attracting the attention of the scouts from the Yan Kingdom.

The remaining soldiers and horses were led by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia was the military adviser. They walked eastward along the northern line of Wei State, and circled to the southeast of Yandu, Yan State.

Yan Guo's attention was attracted by the main force, and he didn't know that there was Xia Jun in the southeast.

Xia Jun immediately changed his clothes, pretending to be soldiers and horses of Wei State, pretending to be the Yan army who defeated Wei State triumphantly, and was ordered to go north.

Guo Jia has made sufficient preparations for this secret plan. Why he always went out to investigate during the time he was in charge of the army was to better disguise himself as the Yan army.

In this way, the soldiers of the Great Xia entered the country of Yan stately, and were greeted by the people of the country along the way, completely unaware that this was an enemy in disguise.

A few days after Yan Linglong set off for Yanjiang, the little emperor Xiao Qiye couldn't bear it any longer. He left a letter and forced the guards to escort him down. He also left Yandu and went to Yanjiang. He said that he wanted to drive himself to conquest.

After the little emperor left, the three ministers of the auxiliary country almost passed out after their blood pressure rose after they knew the situation. The little emperor is so young, and he is still in charge of the conquest, who can he conscript!

At this time, the "victorious" Xia Jun had already rushed to the outside of Yandu City in a hasty march.

The Ministry of War thought it was Du Anze's soldiers, so they sent people to check the information, but they were not alert. There are 80,000 soldiers and horses guarding Yandu, 30,000 inside the city and 50,000 outside the city. Fifty thousand troops were also stationed outside the northwest of the city, which is why Guo Jia chose the southeast location.

Faced with the verification by the officials of the Ministry of War of the Yan State, he directly arrested and delayed, and then took advantage of the nightfall to start attacking.

For this attack, according to Guo Jia's plan, Zhang Fei led 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack the camp outside Yandu. The remaining soldiers and horses attacked Yandu City.

As early as daytime, Guan Yu led a large number of soldiers into the city of Yandu, a total of more than a thousand people. At night, they would open the south gate from the inside and let the troops from outside the city enter the city. As long as the outer city is occupied, it will be easy to take the inner city when the time comes.

After midnight, the war began.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhang Fei led his troops to attack the Yan army outside the city. With Zhang Fei's bravery and skill in fighting, there is no doubt about this battle.

At the same time, Guan Yu, who was lurking in the city, led the soldiers to kill the soldiers and horses defending the south gate, and opened the gate desperately. Zhao Yun led the soldiers and horses into the outer city.

The inner city has a lot of troops. Hearing that the outer city was breached, he immediately guarded against it, but the officials and common people in the inner city were all confused. Why did Du Anze's troops enter the city? Could it be that he wanted to usurp the throne?

With the bravery of the Great Xia soldiers and horses, the outer city area was quickly captured, and the inner city was next.

According to Guo Jia's strategy, a group of shieldmen formed a tortoise-shell array with strong and thick shields and approached the inner city gate.

In this case, it should be poured down with hot oil. However, because the Xia army was making a surprise attack, the Yan army in the inner city was not prepared at all, and they had to face the Xia army's dense arrow feathers, so it was impossible to prevent Daxia's tortoise shell array from approaching the inner city gate.

The role of the tortoise shell formation near the gate of the inner city is naturally to place gunpowder.

As I said before, when Da Xia assisted Yan State in attacking Wei State, he never used gunpowder, but Wang Feng brought a batch of gunpowder for the present.

Although the inner city gate was thick and heavy, it was made of wood, not steel, and because of time constraints, there were no sandbags or earth and rocks inside the city gate to block it, so when the gate was blown open, the inner city's chest was exposed.

In this way, Xia Jun in the tortoise shell array placed the gunpowder, and then retreated.

Zhao Yun held a strong bow with kerosene lit on it, aiming at the gunpowder placed in front of the city gate.

Whoosh...

The gunpowder hits the gunpowder and detonates instantly.

boom...

There was a shocking explosion, and the thick city gate was torn apart. Then, Xia Jun pushed the wood and slammed into the city gate, completely opening the passage.

"kill!"

Xia Jun roared, and then filed in, rushing into the inner city.

At this time, the only 20,000 to 30,000 defenders in the city and the forbidden army in the palace are the opponents of the tens of thousands of Xia troops? The fight lasted from night to day and evening, Daxia completely captured the twelve gates of Yandu, and broke into the imperial palace, taking Yandu completely.

Then Guo Jia ordered to imprison all civil and military officials of Yan State in the imperial palace. These officials were as if mourning and concubine. They did not expect that the strongest capital city would be breached in this way. It was a great shame.

Next, the news began to spread outward.

 …

Five days after Yan Linglong and Xiao Qiye met Xiao Rui, the news of Yandu's breach reached the south bank of Yandu. In an instant, the soldiers stationed there were panicked.

The capital is gone like this?

At this time, the little emperor Xiao Qiye took the initiative to show up, indicating that he came here to personally conquest.

Both the emperor and the eldest princess were here, which calmed the restlessness of the soldiers to a certain extent, but then, the soldiers and horses of the Great Xia on the north bank came to the south bank in more than 300 warships.
