"Bang bang bang..."

Under Jicheng, the grenadier team kept throwing grenades onto the city wall.

Under the explosion, the Yuan family soldiers on the city wall were killed and injured in an instant.

At the same time, other soldiers from the royal palace prepared ladders and climbed the city wall at any time.

Looking at the top of Jicheng City, Qin Shan touched his chin and murmured: "This kid in the Fourth Courtyard has really succeeded, it's a bit interesting."

Originally, he had no hope for the assassination of Yuan Li by the young man in the Fourth Academy.

After all, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers guarding around Yuan Li.

But he obviously underestimated the ability of this young man from the Fourth Academy.

Seeing a firework light up in the sky, he knew that the youth of the Fourth Academy had succeeded, so he immediately launched an attack instead of waiting until midnight.

After all, Yuan Li was assassinated, which would definitely cause chaos in Jicheng. If you don’t attack the city at this moment, then when will you?

As he guessed, the explosions in the city and the fireworks flying into the sky attracted the attention of the Yuan family soldiers on the city wall.

When the grenadiers touched the city of Jicheng, they were not wary of it.

When the grenade exploded on the city wall, Yuan Li was doomed to fail in this war.

"Boom boom boom..." The explosion continued.

The Yuan generals on the city wall were injured and died.

The remaining soldiers hurriedly asked for help from the city, but due to the deaths of the former Yuan Li and many generals, the Yuan family's army had been in chaos for a long time and no one paid attention to it.

Some soldiers of the Yuan family even made up their minds when they learned that Yuan Li was dead.

After wandering outside for so long, they were bored and did not want to continue escaping.

Now, they don’t want to fight anymore, they just want to return to Yanzhou, return to their hometown, and live a peaceful and stable life.

The news that the King of Yan soldiers did not kill prisoners strengthened their beliefs.

The explosion on the city wall continued for a while, and then the soldiers of the Yuan family in the city heard the sound of killing the sky.

The soldiers of the royal family climbed up the city wall through the ladder and rushed into Jicheng. The Yuan family's troops were in chaos and could not organize an effective attack at all.

The fragmented counterattack was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the soldiers of Yanzhou.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, more soldiers of the Yuan family knelt down on the side of the road and threw the swords and muskets in their hands to the ground.

Thirty thousand soldiers from the royal palace fought from the north to the south of the city.

At dawn, they occupied the entire Jicheng.

Qinshan climbed to the south gate of Jicheng and looked down at the foot of the mountain. It was a plain that could not be seen at first sight.

At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This war was more simple than he imagined.

The leaderless Yuan family soldiers were vulnerable to the personal army in the royal palace.

"Immediately notify His Highness of Yan that Jicheng has been taken down." Qin Shan said.

Taking Jicheng means that a gap was cut off from the four southwest counties of Qi State.

They don’t need to fight to the death in Yangcheng Shi tribe, they just need to enter the four southwest counties from Jicheng and kill towards Lucheng.

"Yes, general." After receiving the order, a cavalry set out from the north gate of Jicheng and headed towards Yangcheng.

Two days later, the cavalry arrived at the royal palace camp outside Yangcheng.

"Jicheng was broken?" Chang Wei could hardly believe his ears.

This was too fast. It took only five days to set off from Qinshan to capture Jicheng, which was incredible.

The cavalry then told the story of the assassination of Yuan Li.

Zhao Xu nodded when he heard this. In a trance, he suddenly felt a little funny.

Thinking back to the time when he woke up in the Yan County Prince's Mansion, the Zhang family gave him a headache.

Yuan Li was even more powerful than Yanzhou at that time, which made him nervous all the time.

But unexpectedly, Yuan Li's death did not cause any turmoil in his heart.

Because to him, Yuan Li had long become an insignificant person.

However, Yuan Li died, and finally he was worried.

Over the years, Yuan Li owed countless blood debts in Yanzhou, and now he has paid for his blood debts.

After skipping this, his thinking returned to the current battlefield. He said to Chang Wei, "Leave 30,000 people to stare at Yangcheng, and the remaining 60,000 people to Jicheng and attack Lucheng at night."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei said.

...

Lucheng.

News of Jicheng's loss also reached here, and Han Zheng and Xie Duan were shocked.

"This Yuan Li is really a waste. Your Han family attaches too much importance to him. How can you let him defend Jicheng?" Xie Duan looked disappointed.

Han Zheng was already irritated, Xie Duan got angry at him, and he said angrily: "At present, it's useless to say these things. The King of Yan is just arguing with the world. Even if he changes someone, he can't defend Jicheng. Don't talk about these things anymore, but think about what to do."

Xie Duan sighed.

Indeed, just as Han Zheng said.

Even if you change someone, you can't defend Jicheng.

The King of Yan set out toward Yangcheng in a big way and deceived everyone.

"I originally thought that relying on Yangcheng could block the King of Yan's troops for more than a month, but now it's good. In just five days, the King of Yan took down Jicheng. I'm afraid that in another five days, they will fight to the Lucheng." Xie Duan shook his head, "There's nothing to do, hurry up and evacuate Pengcheng."

Han Zheng was a little hesitant, and only a small part of his Han family's treasury was transported.

As the two were talking, Sato Masaki rushed over.

Looking at Han Zheng and Xie Duan, he really wanted to scold the two.

Just thinking that the Japanese Navy was wiped out by the King of Yan fleet almost overnight, he had no face to say anything.

With a long sigh, he said, "Three months, no matter what, you have to persist for three months. As long as you convince the Kingdom of Wu, our Japan will be able to promote a new alliance. At that time, you will be safe and the King of Yan will not continue to erode south."

The important thing in the letter is the plan that the shogunate general Watanabe Kishi is implementing.

Establish the East-Turkey Alliance with Japan as the core to achieve the goal of sing the situation.

This is like the offshore balance strategy implemented by Britain in the Western Land.

While keeping Da Song turmoil and division, it will not allow any powerful state to rise and threaten the interests of Japan.

When he received the letter, the British Consul in Japan and the Consul in Sam, who were stationed in Japan, were a little moved by the matter.

After all, due to long-term colonization, the Western Turkish countries knew better how to make checks and balances in one area.

For example, Britain's rule over India relies on instigating internal struggles in the Indian country.

Give a group and fight a group so that they can fight endlessly and gain the best benefits from it.

In the past, Dasong was a unified dynasty, and they were still a little afraid.

But since Dasong has split, they naturally do not want to see Dasong unify again.

It is in their interest that a split Da Song is in their interests.

However, they knew very well that the purpose of dividing the Great Song could not be achieved by relying on their own family.

And they have this hope to rely on Japan.

Especially in Britain, their local parliament had already formulated plans for Da Song.

The Sam Kingdom did not want to see the Wu Kingdom, which had huge trade with him, be destroyed by the King of Hell.
