Chapter 145 Reinforcements Arrived
After giving instructions on the garrison, Commander Li immediately withdrew and prepared.
Yan Fengxiao then turned his head to look at Yan Liuchen, who had been hesitant to speak.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
Yan Liuchen's expression wasn't very good either. He asked cautiously, "Will you kill me?"
Yan Fengxiao was stunned and pondered for a while.
The time the other party was thinking seemed like a knife hanging on Yan Liuchen's neck, as if it would fall at any time.
Yan Fengxiao finally opened his mouth: "Look at you."
"What do you mean?"
Yan Liuchen was a little confused about Yan Fengxiao's thoughts for a moment.
Yan Fengxiao gave him an answer: "If you choose to be my enemy, then we will end it together. I will never show mercy to my enemies."
Yan Liuchen understood instantly.
He said with some relief: "Don't worry, I won't fight with you, and...I can't win."
He could compete with Yan Xuanjing because Yan Xuanjing was a waste to begin with.
But Yan Fengxiao...
Go take a shower and go to bed.
He still has some understanding of himself.
The four gates of Yanjing City were closed.
The people in the city were in a panic, and they all knew one thing.
That is, Prince Lian plotted rebellion and led his troops to besiege the imperial city, intending to force the emperor to abdicate and ascend the throne.
The imperial edict has been announced. The newly crowned King of Dingbei, Yan Fengxiao, is actually the emperor's exiled prince, with pure royal blood flowing in his body. The emperor personally ordered Yan Fengxiao to be appointed as the crown prince of the current dynasty, guarding the capital!
As soon as this news came out, the people felt relieved instantly.
Does anyone know Yan Fengxiao's reputation?
That was Governor Yan who led the army to break through the Western Desert, and he was also the King Dingbei who was now making the northern border army lose its way!
And now, this person has become the crown prince of their Southern Yan State...
In the eyes of everyone, his name is synonymous with invincibility. When many people think of this, they are no longer afraid.
Prince Lian and his ilk are just traitors. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely continue his winning streak!
The first day when the four city gates were completely blocked.
Prince Lian rode his horse, walking at the front of the crowd, and glanced at the gate of the imperial city from afar.
This is the north city gate, and the terrain here is easier to attack the city.
He deployed a total of 30,000 troops at the other three city gates to contain the enemy and prevent anyone from escaping from the imperial city during the chaos.
The remaining 70,000 people were all blocked here, ready to attack the north gate in one go. As long as they broke in and then entered the palace, the world would be theirs!
He immediately arranged for someone to come forward.
The man who received the order arrived at the city gate and shouted to the defenders, "Open the gates! Prince Lian is following the orders of Crown Prince Yan Xuanjing to assist him in killing the rebels. Yan Fengxiao, as the King of Dingbei, committed treason while in power, falsely conveying the imperial edict and usurping the royal bloodline. He deserves death and must be executed!"
The soldiers defending the city were also a little confused when they heard this.
One of the leaders shouted, "You believe what the rebels say? The Emperor trusts Commander Yan so much now. Commander Yan is the Emperor's biological son. This is completely reasonable!"
"That's true. Besides, Commander Yan is so powerful. He just led his troops to force the Northern Frontier to surrender. How could he be a rebel?"
"Don't believe the nonsense of that person below, everyone prepare to fight!"
"Yes, sir!"
The person shouting below saw that his words did not cause any reaction, and even many archers pointed their weapons at him, and immediately anger appeared on his face.
"What? Are you planning a rebellion too? The eldest prince is the legitimate eldest son of the royal family. Logically, he should be the crown prince, but Yan Fengxiao, a king of a different surname, has become the crown prince. Don't you find it suspicious? Open the city gates immediately, otherwise you will also become rebels of Southern Yan and bear the stigma for the rest of your lives!"
“Whoosh!”
Someone released the bowstring.
An arrow instantly arrived in front of the person who was shouting, and then pierced his forehead directly.
The next moment, his eyes widened, an arrow was stuck between his eyebrows, and he fell straight to the ground.
The archer who had fired the arrow cursed and whispered, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the people's favorite, you are the parasites!"
Obviously, the soldiers at the grassroots level all know who can lead everyone to a better life.
As long as Yan Fengxiao becomes the crown prince, all those grandsons in Northern Xinjiang will have to kneel down. This is inevitable.
If they don't surrender, their country will be destroyed. Over the years, the Southern Yan Kingdom has suffered countless losses. This time, they can finally hold their heads high!
When Prince Lian saw that the person he arranged to make a speech was dead, he narrowed his eyes.
"A bunch of idiots who don't even want to live, kill them!"
He waved his hand.
Tens of thousands of troops rushed forward in unison.
The people in front were carrying siege equipment and slamming the city gate hard.
The soldiers guarding the city walls immediately began to shoot arrows in batches. As the rain of arrows fell, groups of rebels fell to the ground.
All the shield guards under Prince Lian stepped forward to block the rain of arrows, and then the two sides began a back-and-forth offensive and defensive battle.
Hooks flew onto the city wall, and the rebels climbed up under the protection of the shield guards. The original long-range attack and defense turned into close combat. People died every moment. The bloodshed on the battlefield was staged for the first time in so many years in the well-protected imperial city.
Many defenders who had never seen much blood were so frightened that their legs went limp and their faces turned pale. The tragic scene seemed to stimulate everyone's hearts.
Because of the huge disparity in numbers, the defending army soon began to show signs of decline.
When Prince Lian in the back saw this scene, the smile on his lips grew deeper and deeper, and his eyes were almost shining.
It's almost there. If he keeps going like this, in less than two hours, he will be able to...
But, he just thought of this.
The war lasted only half an hour.
The ground suddenly began to shake.
It seemed as if countless soldiers were sweeping in from behind.
The person who reported the news had already run over, stumbling and shaking.
"Your Highness, this is bad, this is bad... A huge army is coming from the rear. It's so huge, I don't know how many people there are!"
The smile on Prince Lian's face suddenly disappeared.
There was some doubt in his eyes.
"How is that possible!"
He mobilized all the people he could mobilize privately.
Now, apart from the border, no one can rush to the capital to help...
No, the border!
It seemed as if a flash of inspiration came into my mind.
At this moment, Prince Lian suddenly thought of something.
But he still couldn't believe it, and murmured: "Yan Fengxiao didn't go to the border in person. If he didn't go, it would be difficult to mobilize a large number of troops, unless..."
A counselor suddenly whispered in his ear, "Not long ago, the princess went to the border to exchange hostages for an antidote, and the eldest prince even sent people to intercept her. That plan failed, and the eldest prince's men were completely wiped out. Did the princess bring the army back with the Dingbei King's tiger talisman?"
Prince Lian felt as if he had experienced an epiphany.
My head is much clearer too.
He had never thought that Yan Fengxiao would dare to do this, mobilizing more troops to return to the capital while the two countries were still fighting on the border.
Isn’t he afraid that the northern border will take the opportunity to attack and put the Southern Yan Kingdom in danger?
Such a person deserves to be called the guardian god of war of Southern Yan Kingdom!
It's a joke!
In a fit of rage, he slapped the counselor in the face.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
