The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 559 Yan State Destroyed
It was night, the sky was dark, and in the vast expanse, only two pieces of light illuminated the light between the heaven and the earth.

One is Yancheng and the other is Caoying. After a day of hard fighting, both sides fell into a deep lethargy. Apart from the necessary vigilance, there was no sign of any activity.

The night was getting darker, and suddenly I heard the south gate opened, and countless soldiers and horses poured out, rushing towards Cao Ying.

However, the movement of the Yanzhou army was quickly discovered by Cao Jun's secret whistle, and fireworks were fired immediately as a warning.All of a sudden, in the southern sky, gorgeous fireworks exploded in the air.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the sky, Qi Rui's eyes showed a solemn look, he hesitated for a moment, and then shouted sharply: "The whole army goes out, kill!"

The nearly [-] cavalry in the lead immediately spread their horseshoes and rushed towards Cao Ying, followed by [-] infantry, charging towards Cao Ying.

After being reminded by fireworks, the police rang loudly in Cao Ying, and countless people rushed out of the tents to assemble.

At this time, at the west gate of Yancheng, a cavalry force of less than a thousand people quietly escorted several carriages and absconded to the southeast.

Qi Rui seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and turned his head to look west deeply.Immediately, she turned her head, her eyes were piercing, no longer the tenderness before.

"Boom boom boom!" The cavalry rushed under the camp and threw countless explosives into the enemy camp. With a burst of roar, the camp wall was blown to pieces and shattered.

The cavalry rushed in quickly along the gap, burning and killing wantonly in the camp.Immediately, [-] infantry rushed in along the gap opened by the cavalry.

At this time, in the camp, Cao Jun's speed was not slow, and he had already laid down a lot of defense lines in the camp.When the cavalry collided with the infantry phalanx waiting in formation, they could no longer move forward.The infantry who came after that kept attacking Cao Jun's phalanx, but they couldn't break it down for a while, and the situation began to shift to the unfavorable direction of Yanzhou Army.

Seeing this, Qi Rui knew that there was nothing to be done, and immediately ordered the army to retreat.But when they arrived at the gap, they saw that countless soldiers and horses of Cao's army had gathered inside and outside the camp, surrounding them.

"Kill over!" Qi Rui's face was gloomy, and he was constantly judging the changes in the situation. When he realized that there was no way out, he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart. It seemed that tonight was his death day.However, he couldn't die at this time, so he had to do his best to hold back Cao Jun and buy time for Zhang Zhongliang and the others.

The few remaining cavalry immediately followed Qi Rui and charged towards the cavalry on the opposite side.

It was Cao Jun's [-] cavalry who stopped them. The disparity in the strength of the two sides is not measured by the will to fight alone.Qi Rui was in the enemy's formation, rushing left and right, always unable to get rid of the enemy's entanglement.

At this moment, a Cao Jun general rushed out and killed him.When the weapons of the two sides intersect, they will be staggered randomly.Qi Rui turned his horse's head, looked at the general, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is under your feet?"

"Hey, I am Gan Zongwang, and I am here to take the head of King Yan." Gan Zongwang looked at him with a sneer and said provocatively.

"Gan Zongwang, the confidant of the Cao family's children?" Qi Rui looked at him with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly, "You are really arrogant. Here is my king's head. Let's see if you have the ability."

As he said that, he immediately mobilized his war horse and rushed towards the opponent again.

Not to be outdone, Gan Zongwang swung his sword and slashed at Qi Rui.

Qi Rui drew his saber to defuse his attack, then leaned forward, and the saber slashed towards the opponent's waist.

Gan Zongwang was shocked, and quickly pulled his mount back, narrowly avoiding the knife.The two staggered again, Qi Rui turned his horse's head and charged at Gan Zongwang again.Gan Zongwang knew that he was not an opponent, so he dared to fight again, so he immediately ran forward on his horse.

"Where are you going!" Qi Rui bit his back tightly, chasing after him.

"Quick, stop him!" Gan Zongwang ordered while fleeing, thinking about the cavalry around him.

Soon, more than a dozen cavalry rushed towards Qi Rui, blocking his pursuit.

"Scatter for me!" Qi Rui roared angrily, desperately killing these cavalrymen.

Panting heavily, Gan Zongwang looked at Qi Rui who was extremely brave, his face turned white and red, he gritted his teeth, immediately took off a hard bow, took the arrow and aimed at Qi Rui.

"Hoo!" With a scream, an arrow appeared on Qi Rui's shoulder.

"Despicable!" Qi Rui's eyes showed raging anger, and he looked at Gan Zongwang with murderous intent.

Seeing this, Gan Zongwang couldn't help sneering, drew out a sharp arrow, and aimed at Qi Rui again.

At this time, Qi Rui had to deal with the enemy troops on all sides, and he had no time to take into account the opponent's back arrows.While fighting, he suddenly felt pain in the arm holding the knife, and then weakened weakly.

"Ah!" Qi Rui roared angrily, pulled out the arrow on his right arm, took over the saber in his right hand with his left hand, and charged at the enemy again.

"Hmph, you're not dead yet!" Gan Zongwang couldn't hold back for a moment, and shot again with his bow.

Qi Rui only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he lowered his head slightly, he saw an arrow piercing deeply into his chest.

"Kill!" Qi Rui supported his body and let out a final roar.

Immediately, the surrounding cavalry swarmed up, adding countless blades.Blood flowed profusely from Qi Rui's body immediately, and he was covered in blood.

Qi Rui turned his head to look west again, with great expectations in his eyes, and then his body slowly fell from his mount.

In this battle, the Yanzhou army was almost wiped out. With Qi Rui's death in battle, the rest of the soldiers would no longer have the will to fight and surrendered one after another.

Cao Ziyan ordered Qi Rui's body to be sent to Yancheng, and ordered the defenders in the city to surrender immediately, otherwise, the city would be massacred for three days.

Seeing that the mighty Lord of Yanzhou had died, the defenders of Yancheng no longer had the courage to stand firm.After a while, the city gate was opened to welcome Cao Jun into the city.

After Cao Ziyan entered the city, he immediately ordered people to search for the whereabouts of Qi Rui's family and Zhang Zhongliang, an important minister of Yanzhou.But after some searching, it was found that all the other parties had disappeared.

In this regard, Cao Ziyan was shocked and furious, and immediately ordered Gan Zongwang to lead the cavalry to search and arrest.

The reason why he cares so much about these people is that he understands that after nearly ten years of Qi Rui's rule in Yanzhou, the people's hearts still exist. If his family members fall into the hands of others, it is very likely to use this to disturb Yanzhou in the future.

Qi Rui's military advisor, Zhang Zhongliang, is the most talented in the world, and Cao Ziyan is also quite envious, hoping to get his help.If not, then kill it, so as not to be obtained by others.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Jun's flag was erected on the top of Yancheng City to show that Yancheng officially changed hands.Cao Jun attacked Yanzhou for nearly a year, and finally defeated Qi Rui and destroyed the Yanzhou forces.

After the order of Yancheng was stabilized, Cao Ziyan immediately ordered a general to lead [-] soldiers and horses to the Wanrenguan camp, recruited more than [-] Yanzhou troops stationed there, and stationed here to guard against the Donghu people.At the same time, spread the message to all parts of Yanbei, announcing the recovery of Yanzhou and returning to the court.

After resting in Yancheng for a day, the 15 troops immediately went south to attack the Mingzhou army.
