Chapter 103: On the Verge of Breaking Out

"Captain Li, this is the governor's residence. Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang family residence.

Zhang Yue looked stern but inwardly, but Lieutenant Li in front of him was indifferent.

"Those who surrender will not be killed, and the rest will be killed without mercy." The general, whom Zhang Kang called Li Xiaowei, looked cold.

Before he set off, Chang Wei told him to keep as many witnesses as possible, which would make it easier to convict the Zhang family.

But if they resist, he can do it easily.

Zhang Yue's palms were covered in cold sweat, and he continued to quibble, "What kind of royal law has our Zhang family committed? Aren't you afraid that this matter will cause trouble in the court? Don't forget, our county governor is an official of the court and the son-in-law of the Yuan family. ”

The corners of Lieutenant Li's mouth rose, and his eyes were full of contempt.

Like many soldiers in the pro-army army, he came from an ordinary family in Yan County.

The most hated ones are the wealthy families like the Zhang family.

If their general Chang Wei hadn't had orders, he wouldn't have talked nonsense with him.

"I'll give you one last chance, surrender or die!" Lieutenant Li put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Zhang Yue's eyes narrowed. It seemed that Prince Yan's Mansion had discovered something.

As his mind was spinning, he suddenly took out a dagger from behind and stabbed Lieutenant Li in the abdomen.

Lieutenant Li only leaned back slightly, and then showed a half-smiling smile.

He glanced at the tip of the dagger and saw a small dent in his armor.

"You made my armor imperfect." Colonel Li's voice was like winter ice.

Then he clenched his fist, bent the armor covering his palm into an iron fist, and punched hard.

"ah……"

Zhang Yue screamed, and he felt like he was punched by a hammer.

His face was in severe pain, and the smell of blood filled his mouth. As soon as he vomited, seven or eight of his teeth fell to the ground.

Before he could react, Lieutenant Li's second punch came again.

Zhang Yue was immediately beaten to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he finally failed to get up.

The dead men of the Zhang family standing behind were stunned. Their steps were neither forward nor backward.

"Kill, kill me!" Zhang Yue shouted, "You have no way out, think about your wives and children."

When the dead soldiers heard Zhang Kang's words, they were silent for a while, and then suddenly rushed towards the royal soldiers.

Captain Li sighed in his heart.

This is why he hates these wealthy families.

The wives and children of many people in Yan County were used as threats.

"Kill!" he shouted.

He knew that these dead men were not worthy of dying for the Zhang family.

But now he can only kill them, because only by protecting King Yan can the darkness of Yan County not come back again.

The one-sided battle ended in a quarter of an hour.

All the dead soldiers who resisted in the yard fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, Lieutenant Li squatted down in front of Zhang Yue. He was not dead yet.

Then, he picked up the handle of the knife and smashed it into his mouth.

"Ah, ah..." Zhang Yue screamed.

His teeth were knocked out one by one.

After confirming that Zhang Yue's teeth had fallen out, Lieutenant Li said: "Tie him up and take him away."

He did this to prevent Zhang Yue from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

After all, he is an extremely important piece of evidence.

While actions were being taken at these two locations, encirclement and suppression campaigns were also completed at various other locations.

Before the people of Yancheng, who had slept soundly all night, went out, the soldiers cleaned up their bodies.

It's like nothing happened.

As the sun rises from the horizon to the tops of the willow trees.

Chang Wei came to Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Your Highness, everything has been cleaned up."

Zhao Xu nodded, feeling a stone fall in his heart.

"The people from Beidi are waiting below." He looked to the north.

Yan County is not big, and the Beidi people are marching quickly. The Beidi army should be able to reach Yancheng today.

Chang Wei still didn't know what method King Yan was going to use to trap the Beidi people, so he said: "Your Highness, after killing these dead soldiers, what should we do next?"

Zhao Xu smiled mysteriously and waved to Chang Wei, motioning for him to come closer.

Chang Wei leaned over and Zhao Xu said a few words. When Chang Wei heard the words, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he laughed out loud: "These Beidi people will never think of it until they die."

"You go back and make preparations. Once the Beidi people attack the city, this will be done." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei nodded and walked out happily.

Just as he arrived at the door, Zhao Xu thought of something, "By the way, you order a team of soldiers and horses to surround Tianxiang Tower, and then evacuate after the war is over."

"Tianxiang Tower?" Chang Wei was surprised and rolled his eyes.

Thinking of the recent rumors that King Yan was having an affair with the oiran of Tianxianglou, he just thought it was King Yan who asked him to send troops to protect him.

Smiling lustfully, he agreed.

Zhao Xu smiled bitterly when he saw Chang Wei's look.

He was not trying to protect Tianxiang Tower, but just to make sure nothing went wrong.

Although Tianxianglou is currently cooperating with Wangfu.

But he is not very clear about the details of Tianxiang Tower.

If he was stabbed in the back at such a critical moment, he would be doomed.

…

"Miss, please take a rest for a while. Walking around like this makes me dizzy." Xiaohuan looked at Xu E who kept pacing back and forth, dejectedly.

Xu E stopped, with a deep look of worry on her face, "How can there be such a stupid person? The Beidi soldiers are pressing down on the border, and he actually dispatched most of his troops out of Yancheng to protect the county. How can these Beidi people be easy to deal with? ”

Xiaohuan looked at Xu E and sighed, secretly wondering why her daughter could never forget the favor she received from her.

Now there is a tendency to sink deeper and deeper.

Before she could speak, Xu E smiled again, "But this is what he is. He disregards himself for the safety of the people. This is what a great hero is."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a commotion downstairs.

Xiao Huan heard this and immediately went out to investigate.

When she came back soon, Xiao Huan said angrily, "Miss, your great hero has sent soldiers to surround Tianxiang Tower, saying that during the war, you are not allowed to go out at will. You only miss him, but he is on guard against us."

Hearing this, Xu E sat down at the table, propped up her chin, and smiled foolishly, "This is not necessarily the case. Maybe he is protecting us. Didn't he protect our Tianxiang Tower when Yuan Li came last time?"

Xiao Huan rolled her eyes and really didn't want to say a word.

...

Zhu County.

The Northern Di cavalry passed by here.

A cavalryman came to Kutu and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu County has at least 5,000 elite armored soldiers defending it."

"Wu'an County has 8,000, Yishui County has 5,000, so Yancheng has only more than 10,000 people." Kutu said.

After arriving in Wu'an County, he ordered a feint attack to spy on the county.

If the county was weak, he would take it down and use it as a camp.

But he didn't expect that Wu'an County had a lot of troops, so he had to give up and continue to move south.

Then he came to Yishui County, and another feint attack found out the deployment of Yishui County's troops.

After several rounds, he had determined the approximate strength of Yancheng.

"I don't know if this King of Yan is stupid or arrogant." Mutuo sneered, "Your Majesty, go straight to Yancheng, we can arrive before dark."

Kutu looked to the south.

There has been a rumor about the Northern Di in the Dasong army.

The Northern Di are no more than 10,000, but they are invincible if they are more than 10,000.

Moreover, the troops he brought were greater than those of the King of Yan in Yancheng.

This time, he was determined to take Yancheng.

"March to Yan County!" Kutu shouted.

The horn sounded again, and the Northern Di cavalrymen all over the mountains and plains galloped and headed south.
