Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 552
Since the Yan army defeated Wuzhong City (Yutian County, Tangshan, Hebei Province), they headed straight for Jicheng.

Veteran general Jia Jian stood firm on the wall, and soldiers from various towns in Hebei came to help. Zhang Shengye came out of the Shanggu Valley and was defeated by Murongde and Xian Yuliang's troops in the Guangning village as soon as he stepped into the boundary of Guangning.

Lu Bo had already received support from Cui Jin and cautiously approached Jicheng to annex Yongnu City.

Murong Ke built a fort in the north of Luoshui (today's Sanggan River).

There was a hint of spring in the cold wind, passing by the Yan Army camp. Thousands of banners with the characters "Murong" and "Yan" were slowly fluttering. The Yan Army camp was extremely crudely built, with wooden stakes stuck crookedly on the earthen ramparts. Not even trenches or antlers were laid out.

As if deliberately waiting for the enemy to attack.

In front of the main tent of the Chinese army, a three-foot-tall toothbrush with a green background and white stripes, decorated with leopard tail, tiger skin and carved feathers, made an extraordinary imposing appearance.

Under the toothbrush stood eighteen strong men from Liaodong, with fleshy faces and murderous intent.

But several suppressed coughs came from the big tent, which greatly reduced the murderous aura and solemnity.

"Li Yue... where is the army now?"

"The Commander-in-Chief, we have just set out. A total of [-] black clouds are riding on horseback, and they have not yet left Yezhong."

"Where are Lu Bozao and Cui Jin?"

"Still in Yongnu!"

"Send the order to raise camp, abandon Jicheng, and march to the upper valley."

"Leader!"

Dozens of messengers rushed away.

Inside the tent, Murong Ke coughed again.

"Grand Governor..." Feng Yi looked worried.

In the past few years, not only was Murong Ke exhausted and exhausted, Feng Yi was also the same, his temples were gray, showing his age.

"It's okay." Murong Ke drank the medicine brought by his guard in one gulp.

In addition to Feng Yi, there were also members of the clan such as Murong Nong, Murong Huan, and Murong Zun, as well as generals such as Yang Xie, Song Huang, Pang Yue, and Zhai Shu.

In this battle, the Yan State mobilized all its elites, leaving Murong Ping to guard Longcheng and Yang Qian to guard the Yan State's disciple river.

"Jicheng and Yongnu are holding back. If our army enters Shanggu, wouldn't it mean that the food route will be cut off?" Feng Yi is also a man who knows soldiers and has led his army in battles.

"For food and grass, you can go to the north of Yinshan Mountain and pass through Yinxiao Village. I have my own way of defeating the enemy. You don't need to worry too much." Murong Ke's face was pale, but his expression remained calm.

The Yan army broke out of their camp and marched westward.

Shanggu County is the starting point of the North Great Wall of the State of Yan. It is bounded by the Yanshan Desert in the north, overlooking the Central Plains in the south by Junjundu, the danger of Juyong Keyiao in the east, Daijun in the west, and the four rivers of Luoshui, Yanghe, Yongding, and Guihe. entangled.

Murong Ke's eyesight was extremely good, and by winning Shanggu, Yan Jun's game was over.

You can advance to attack and retreat to defend, threatening Bingzhou to the west and threatening Zhao to the south.

Zhang Shengye was defeated at the hands of Murong De and Xian Yuliang. The soldiers in his hands suffered many casualties. At this time, there were less than [-] and only [-] less than the Heiyun Army. The Yan Army came in full force and defended Juyang City.

Murong Ke took all the cities including Juyong, Xialuo, Zhulu, Guangning, and Jundu.

Murong Huan and Murong Zun were ordered to attack Juyang fiercely, but the small Juyang City actually withstood the Yan army's two-day fierce attack.

Murong Ke, who had always had a gentle temperament, whipped Murong Huan and Murong Zun in front of the entire army. The screams of the whips and screams resounded throughout the camp.

For a time, the three armies were shocked.

"As a member of the Yan clan, I cannot govern the country and secure it, and I cannot kill generals and carry flags. How can I have the dignity to enjoy the blessings of the country and the people? Now I have deprived them of their titles and become common people!"

There were less than 3000 people in the city, which blocked the attack of 8000 people by Murong Huan and Murong Zun.The key also delayed Murong Ke's plan.

The main force of Heiyun has arrived in Xiangguo, and the vanguard has reached Zhongshan.

"Pang Yue, Zhai Shu, and Kusu Guanwei listen to the order, don't break Juyang, raise your head to see me!" The cold wind blew by, Murong Ke's face was extremely cold, and he who had always been tolerant and generous completely changed his appearance at this time.

"Take your orders!" The three generals held out their hands.

Pang Yue has tribes of the Pang clan, Zhai Shu has Ding Ling tribes, and Kusai Guanwei is also a powerful Xianbei chief. Murong Ke can naturally subdue them if he is alive, but if Murong Ke is not around, these people will pose a great threat. Murong Wei will definitely not be able to suppress them.

The three generals each selected dead soldiers, put on heavy armor, went into battle in person, and surrounded the three towers.

Liang Jun resisted desperately on the city.

But they were originally remnant soldiers. After two days of fighting, they were exhausted. Facing the dead soldiers of Pang Yue, Zhai Shu, and Kusuo Guanwei, they were unable to resist. The city wall fell. Zhang Shengye led hundreds of Heiyun remnants to The bloody battle continued in the city alleys, and eventually all of them died. No one from the Black Cloud Army surrendered. Zhang Shengye was exhausted, with all his swords and spears broken. He did not want to be captured alive, so he committed suicide in the direction of Yecheng...

Although the city was destroyed, it shocked the soldiers of Yan Army greatly.

Even the Yan army cannot fight to this point. Once it is in trouble, many people will surrender.

"Such an elite...rarely seen in the world!" As the name suggests, the Zhai rat people are short in stature, with three short beards and a pair of small eyes.

"No matter how elite he is, he is defeated. With the governor here, this battle will be won." Kusu Guanwei is from Xianbei, and his heart is also on Murong Ke's side.

"I'm afraid that the general will win, but we... will suffer heavy casualties." Zhai Shu looked at Pang Yue.

Pang Yue looked at the blood and corpses on the ground without saying a word.

"You have killed so many Liang people, do you still want to vote for Li Yuecheng? If you vote for him, you will be treated like a dog and a slave!" Ku Lai Guanwei sneered.

The slow sound of horse hooves interrupted their conversation.

More than a hundred spirits came guarding a carriage, and two ruts dragged long bloody traces on the ground.

Although Juyang City was destroyed, there was not much joy on his face. In the past few years, the Black Cloud Army's combat power and will have become stronger. If they faced Li Yue's [-] Black Cloud elites, what chance would they have of winning?

This question lingered not only in Murong Ke's heart, but also in the hearts of all Yan Jun.

"Bury him with honor." Murong Ke's voice came from the carriage, with a touch of sadness, "Three of you are indeed the heroes of our Great Yan. After this battle, Youzhou will be the leader of the three!"

The curtains of the carriage opened, revealing Feng Yi's face. His condescending eyes glanced at the three of them, and then closed again.

Pang Yue stared at the carriage, still silent.

"It is our duty to serve Dayan!" Zhai Shu was overjoyed. He fled from Mobei to this place just for a place to stay. Even if he knew that Murong Ke had other intentions, it didn't matter.

When a country is about to be destroyed, there must be a feast.

Liang and Yan are as powerful as fire and water, and one country will eventually perish.

Ku Lai Guanwei glanced at him sideways, "Grand Governor, please take care of your health. I heard that there is a female doctor in Ye City who can cure human flesh and white bones. If we can break through the [-] black cloud elites in this battle, we, the Great Yan, will surely rise again and annex the Central Plains." !”

The Xianbei chieftains naturally did not know how high the sky was and how high they were, and they also blindly worshiped Murong Ke.

Back then, Shi Hu's 45-strong army was defeated, but now Liang's 6-strong army was easily defeated in his eyes.

"The Lord of Kusiguan City is determined. Our army is united and we don't have to worry about Liang Jun not being defeated and Yan Yan not prospering..."

After saying that, he coughed again.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Jia Jian's tribe in Jicheng, Lu Bozao's tribe in Yongnu, and Li Du's tribe, governor of Liang Zhaozhou, each have thousands of troops and are approaching Shanggu!" Scouts rushed from behind.
