"Come here, from today on, the city gate is closed. Without my orders, no one can leave Changcheng." After pondering for a while, Xie An frowned and issued an order.

Afterwards, he looked towards Bacheng, hoping that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

At present, 600,000 troops are stationed in Changcheng, and other cities in Jiangzhou are basically like empty cities.

Taking these cities with the ability of the King of Yan's army was like taking pictures.

I am afraid that in less than half a month, all the northern part of Jiangzhou will fall, and its troops will be directed to Changcheng.

Furthermore, the Changcheng army also has big problems with the food and grass.

Although they collected heavy taxes from the people of Jiangzhou after the summer harvest, the food and grass collected were only enough to satisfy the use of a million troops for half a year.

After all, Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Yuezhou and Guizhou have not many populations, and there are not many fertile land that can be cultivated.

It is really difficult to support a million troops.

Moreover, this time, in order to prevent the food and grass from being looted by the King of Yan again.

Most of the food and grass were transported to Bazhou, and only two months of food and grass were left in Changcheng.

Only when the food and grass are in a hurry will the food be transported from Bazhou.

"If Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou and others are lost again, the defeat will be a definite number." Thinking of the problem of food and grass, Xie Anru was hit hard.

I'm afraid that this is the reason why his eldest son Xie Bi is shaken.

The prefectures and counties that originally relied on participating to collect food and grass for half a year, but they could collect food and grass for another half a year when they waited for the autumn harvest. This could be supported.

But once the King of Yan captured all the prefectures and counties outside Bazhou, even if they had a million troops, it would be useless.

Although Nanliang promised to sell food and grass to them.

But although Yizhou is a place for grain production, it is not so easy to support the Wu army and the Nanliang army at the same time.

What's more, the Qin army of King Yan is now outside Jiameng Pass.

Once they seize Jiameng Pass and burn the war to Yizhou, the farming in Yizhou will be affected, and the food and grass problems will become more prominent.

"The King of Yan really forced us to the dead end." Xie An punched him hard on the table.

But even though the current situation is very unfavorable to the clan, he still has no intention of betrayal.

Like his elder brother Xie Duan, he was unwilling to lose to the Zhao royal family like this.

Especially the defeat to the alien king of Yan.

...

Bacheng.

The army of Yan King arrived here one day later than Changcheng, where he arrived.

The arrival of this news made the entire Bacheng shrouded in a dark cloud.

The first time the Yan King's army advanced westward was to cover their actions to rescue the people.

This time, he has made a real move westward.

At the same time, along with this news, there was also news from Jiameng Pass.

The Qin army of King Yan's Qin army was under Jiameng Pass and could launch an attack at any time.

The territory controlled by their power tribe was attacked by the Yan King's army on both sides.

"Yizhou is handed over to Ashur and Nanliang. We will do our best to deal with the royal family's personal army and immediately let the 600,000 troops of Xiangzhou advance towards Anqing. If the Yan King's army attacks Changcheng, they will attack on both sides and strive to annihilate it!"

In the study room of the temporary palace, Luther raised his fist hard.

Brooke nodded, too.

There is no doubt that after the King of Yan successfully ordered the people to return to the three southeastern prefectures, their strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields failed.

At present, the three southeastern states have become the food and grass supply land for the Yan King's army.

After solving their worries, the King of Yan launched a general attack on them this time.

Now, they are forced into a desperate situation and can only fight with all their might.

Otherwise, they will be defeated by each one and lose even worse.

Liang Kai's face was so gloomy that he could scrape off a layer of frost.

Luther, Brooke and he all hoped to continue dragging with the King of Yan, waiting for the new muskets to be equipped and the Western countries to send fleets and troops from their homeland.

But the King of Yan was obviously impatient to destroy them.

"Brother Liang, the only way to fight back is to lose, lose, the power is destroyed, and win, the world will return to us. I, Han Zheng, are willing to act as a front guard, go up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire." Han Zheng said.

Prince Andu said: "If I can't return to Yuzhou, my prince would rather die in the battlefield."

"And I, Xie Duan. In addition to the traitor of the Ma family, this time we will tie our seven families into a rope and fight to the end." Xie Duan said loudly.

Liang Kaizhong nodded with a key point. In fact, he had a premonition before Xia Seong that the King of Yan would attack them after Xia Seong.

Now, it is true.

He stood up slowly and said, "Okay, let's kill them this time without leaving any armor."

After saying that, he immediately sent people to Yunzhou to ask Fan Xinglun to send troops to support him, and at the same time ordered the Xiangzhou army to set sail towards Jiangzhou.

Then, he ordered Han Zheng, Wang Zi'an and Xie Duan to go to Changcheng.

Among the 600,000 troops in Changcheng, only 200,000 are his Wu army, and the rest are all their three soldiers.

Their heads of the family will surely enhance the morale of the generals and soldiers of the powerful clan.

Later, he ordered Prince Liang Feng to strengthen his defense and speed up the training of the Wu Imperial Guards equipped with British muskets and artillery.

If the Yan King's army attacked Bacheng, he would definitely let the Yan King's army be disappointed.

After agreeing on these things, everyone left.

...

Anqing City.

The personal army of the royal palace arrived here and rested for two days.

On the third day, 80,000 soldiers from the 100,000 royal palace left behind 80,000 soldiers to guard Anqing. The 20,000 soldiers were divided into two routes and attacked south along the banks of Changhu.

"The six counties on both sides of Changhu Lake are few, and the most garrisons are stationed in Dejung. With the ability of the royal palace's personal army, it only takes 500 people to take it. Therefore, the last general can guarantee that it will take only six days to take down all the counties and counties outside Changcheng." Zhao Xu and Chang Wei watched the soldiers leave, and Chang Wei looked confident.

Zhao Xu nodded. He was very confident in the royal family's personal army equipped with Qin-style rifles.

The gap between the current clan army and them is like the first time that the Western natives took a flintlock rifle to the New World and faced the Indians hundreds of years ago.

During the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty paid more than 20,000 casualties, while the other side had less than 500 casualties.

Faced with the army of the powerful clan, he believed that the royal family could also achieve huge results with minor casualties.

Because in addition to the gap in firearms, the morale of the power clan has also dropped to an extreme.

The people from the Fourth Academy even sent him such a funny information.

A member of the Fourth Academy was discovered by Xie An's eldest son Xie Bi when he was inquiring about the news.

Not only did Xie Bi not arrest the member of the Fourth Academy, he negotiated with him through this member of the Fourth Academy.

It can be seen that the unstable people within the Si Clan have already panicked.

After all, ants can live in silence, let alone others.

He did not refuse to divide the enemy, and it was also a means of war.

He promised Xie Bi that as long as he could persuade Xie An to lead his troops to surrender, he could save his father and son's lives.

As for whether Xie Bi can do it, he has expectations, but his expectations are not high.
