Chapter 657: The Destruction of the Yan Kingdom (Five Updates)

As night fell, King Huainan and Cui Shangan stopped their attack.

After King Yan was killed in the chaotic army, the Yan army fell into chaos, and they took the opportunity to invade the city, but they never thought that the smooth battle was reversed because of the appearance of Cui Cheng.

This time, King Yan had recruited many strong men to deal with them, and there were 250,000 people in the small Yingzhou.

After a fierce battle, they were driven out of the city again.

"This Cui Guo has some skills, but most of the Yan army has fled during the day, and I am afraid that more soldiers will flee tonight. Just thinking that, the Yan army will definitely spend their energy on blocking the deserters, and they will not think that we will take advantage of this. night attack."

Cui Shangan nodded. He had already prepared 10,000 elites to attack the Yingzhou camp at night. After midnight, he led the soldiers to enter Yingzhou City quietly through the broken city wall.

Just as the King of Huainan had guessed, more and more soldiers entered the Heiye Yan army camp and fled, and the soldiers on patrol were constantly attracted by the fleeing soldiers.

In the dark, the patrolmen could not patrol the deserters or the enemy. In this case, Cui Shangan quickly led the soldiers to the Yingzhou camp.

"Light the arrows." At this time, the Yingzhou camp was brightly lit, and Cui Shangan gave the order.

After receiving the order, more than a dozen torches were lit, and the soldiers took out arrows wrapped in oilcloth at the front and lit them one by one, and the bows and arrows were wound.

"put!"

Following Cui Shangan's order, the sky filled with flaming arrows flew towards the Yan army's camp, and those arrows accurately landed on the head of the Yan army's tent. , the fire spread instantly, and the Yan army camp was brightly illuminated.

When the soldiers ignited the arrows, the Yan army's sentry had already spotted them and immediately shouted loudly, but they had no time to stop them. The arrows of flame flew to the Yan army camp one by one in just a few minutes. The Yan army's camp became a sea of ​​fire.

The sky-high fire lit up the night sky. At this time, King Huainan led the soldiers from outside the city and rushed into the city immediately.

Cui Shangan's purpose was only to disrupt the Yingzhou camp and create chaos.

The Yan army's camp fell into chaos. At this time, the King of Huainan stood up and shouted: "Kill!"

"Kill!" What responded to him was the angry shouts of Huainan soldiers, who rushed into the city of Yingzhou like tigers descending from the mountain.

A Yan Army soldier woke up from his sleep. In the flames that filled the sky, he rushed out of the tent before he could even put on his clothes, but the soldiers of the Huainan Army came all over him. Before he could make any shouts, he felt His chest froze, and then he watched his blood gushing out from his chest, and before dying, the extreme fear made him let out a final scream.

The Huainan Army rushed into the camp like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. As soon as those Yan Army soldiers rushed out of the camp, they died under their swords, and some even had their hearts pierced in their sleep.

Chaos quickly spread in the Yan army camp. The whole camp was filled with the breath of death. Cui Cheng summoned the soldiers under the escort of his personal guards. Three points, a voice was telling him that the Yan army was all over this time. Those Huainan soldiers in armor were like slaughtering cattle and sheep, leaving only cold corpses wherever they went. He had organized several attacks, but he was shocked. The terrified soldiers were quickly disintegrated without any resistance at all.

In the daytime, he was able to repel the Huainan Army because his subordinates did not know about King Yan's death in battle. Now that all the soldiers knew about it, the morale of the Yan Army fell to the bottom.

"Prince, let's go, it will be too late if you don't go!" a general said, covering his arm. At this time, his arm was dripping with blood. It was scratched by a soldier. Help him resist, his life is estimated to be gone.

Cui Cheng looked at the large camp in a sea of ​​flames, stomped his feet fiercely, got on his horse, and fled towards Ximen under the guard of dozens of cavalry.

When Cui Shangan attacked, King Huainan led his soldiers to capture the west gate of the Yan army according to the plan. They still used artillery in the dark night. Although King Huainan had already seen the power of firearms, he did not expect that such weapons could produce huge effects in war. Destructive power, the Yan army soldiers guarding the gate were at least three or four thousand people, but a few rounds of artillery fire knocked down all these Yan army soldiers.

After capturing the west gate, the King of Huainan said to a cavalry general beside him: "General Qi, it's up to you to chase down the routed troops."

"Yes, Your Highness, and then he shouted, soldiers, it's time to harvest the enemy's heads, rush!"

"Kill!" The soldiers fought with high spirits.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was beating like a drum, and when they heard this sound, the soldiers of the Yan Army completely lost their will to fight and fled one after another. Most of them put down their weapons and surrendered to the Huainan Army.

When King Huainan and Cui Shangan entered the barracks, they encountered little resistance along the way, and there were soldiers of the Yan Army kneeling on the ground everywhere.

Leading the cavalry to disintegrate the last resistance of the Yan Army, the soldiers of the Huainan Army did not stop but lit their torches and chased westward directly. They had already learned that Cui Cheng had fled westward.

However, the King of Huainan was not in a hurry, because the West City Gate had already been captured by them, and at the same time other city gates had been captured one after another, and now Cui Cheng had nowhere to escape.

Therefore, he simply ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Because of the raid, most of the Yan army soldiers did not mount their horses, and a large number of war horses were tied in the stables, which made him a great deal.

In addition to the war horses, he also captured many people of the Yan army. He ordered the people who did not resist not to be killed. The number of people captured this time was as high as 50,000 people, plus the soldiers who surrendered and captured nearly 80,000 people. Thirteen thousand Yan people became prisoners.

The operation to clear the battlefield continued until the next morning, when the cavalry of the Huainan Army returned, and General Qi, who was headed, carried Cui Cheng's head in his hand.

In front of King Huainan, General Qi got off his horse and threw Cui Cheng's head on the ground. He said, "Your Highness, Cui Cheng refused to surrender and was killed by the last general."

The King of Huainan nodded. The State of Yan had been oppressing the State of Huainan, so he hated King Yan very much.

Now that King Yan is dead, so is Cui Cheng, but he suddenly thought of a question and said, "This king remembers that Cui Cheng has a younger brother, Cui Hao, where is he?"

At this time, Cui Shangan said: "Father, after Cui Cheng learned that Cui Hao had rebelled, he took his troops and slaughtered the nobles who participated in the rebellion, and Cui Hao was killed by him."

"Really? In this way, King Yan's lineage is completely cut off." The King of Huainan sighed, "This country of Yan is destroyed."
