Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 121 Burning Ji City
At this time, Yan Wangxi and Prince Dan in Jicheng were not very nervous.From their point of view, the walls of Jicheng are high and thick, and the soldiers in the city are full of fine food. Even if the water source is cut off, there is still enough well water in the city for drinking.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Wang Jian to conquer Jicheng in a short period of time even if Wang Jian had the ability to conquer the sky.

Besides, it is not the first time that Jicheng has been besieged or twice. Not to mention that Zhao Guo has been under Jicheng in the past few years.

The dignitaries in the city are still living a life of debauchery and drunkenness.

The water flows into the Bohai Sea from the northwest to the southeast. There is a water gate in the northwest of Jicheng, which leads directly to the water. The rolling water flows into Jicheng through here, runs through the entire city, and then flows out of the city through the water gate in the southeast.

On this day, Wang Jian, Ziying and other Qin army generals came to the northwest of Jicheng together, watching the soldiers pour barrels of oil into the water.

Yan Jun on the city wall of Jicheng was obviously puzzled by Qin Jun's move, and was even more curious about the buckets of black water.

In Yan Jun's view, poisoning is the biggest possibility for such an action. However, although water control runs through the entire Jicheng in twists and turns, it is running water. No matter how much poison is thrown, it will not take long. Alternate cleanly.

Ten thousand steps back, even after poisoning, Qin Jun cut off the water source.The wells in Jicheng are also sufficient for support.

The soldiers guarding the city did not attract enough attention from the generals of the Yan army after reporting the matter. In their view, the Qin army was just doing useless work.

If General Yan Jun had a certain understanding of the properties of oil, he would not have allowed the oil to slowly float on the water and flow through the streets in Jicheng.

About an hour later, a scout came galloping on horseback from a distance.

"Report, at the southeast water gate of Jicheng, 'black water' has flowed out!"

"Light it up!" Wang Jian ordered, and several soldiers threw the burning torches into the oil-filled water.

The raging fire followed the oil layer and quickly burned towards Jicheng.

"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, let's go back to the camp first!" After Ziying finished speaking, he didn't dare to turn his head to look at Jicheng, and went back to the camp as if fleeing. Purgatory.

Although I didn't kill them myself, it can be said that a large part of the military and civilian casualties in Jicheng were killed indirectly by myself.

"Order the three armies to prepare to attack the city. Jicheng will be destroyed today!" Wang Jian looked at the raging fire with great joy.Immediately ordered the Qin army to launch a new round of offensive.

But at this time in Jicheng, it was a completely different scene.

Building next to water has always been a characteristic of Chinese architecture, and this is also the case in Jicheng.The blaze ignited a residence near the water and then spread to adjacent homes.

What frightened the people in the city was that this time the fire was ignited from the surface of the water, and the water could not be extinguished.

Not long after, Jicheng turned into a sea of ​​flames, and most of the city along the water flowed into flames that soared to the sky.

The whole city was in chaos, and a sergeant who put out the fire accidentally stained his body with oil, and the fire went up, but no matter how he beat it, he couldn't extinguish the flame, so he had to roll in pain on the street, which made Ben even more miserable. Even the chaotic streets are even more chaotic.

The lake and water in the palace of the Yan Kingdom, the water source used is also flood control, and there are many flowers, plants and trees in the palace of the royal family. At this moment, even the palace of the Yan Kingdom is on fire.

"Boom boom boom..." The war drum sounded, and at this moment the Qin army launched the largest attack on Jicheng.Teams of Qin soldiers began to attack the top of Jicheng.

At this time, although the army of Yan State on the top of the city resisted with all its strength, it slowly fell into a disadvantage.

Only part of the Yan army was guarding the city wall, and most of the Yan army was in the barracks inside the city. Usually, once the Qin army attacked the city, they would rush to help.

At this time, the entire Jicheng City was in flames, either the panicked residents on the roads inside the city, or the firefighting sergeants, the barracks were already in flames, and they didn't know where to look for help.

The only guards of the Yan army on the city wall looked at Jicheng, which had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and they were also panicked, unable to concentrate on resisting the Qin army.

In such a state, it didn't take long for the south gate of Jicheng to be breached first.

"Report, the Qin army has broken through the south gate, please make plans early!" A general of the Yan army covered in soot hurriedly reported to King Yan.

"Quickly..., take the south gate back to Gu!" Yan Wangxi said urgently.

The reason why Yan State was able to face the Qin Army for so long was because of the tall city walls. Without the protection of the city walls, the Yan Army was far from the Qin Army's opponent in terms of field battles.

"Now the south gate is on fire, and the streets are in chaos. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take back the situation." The general said helplessly.

"Could it be that the sky wants to destroy my country of Yan!" Yan Wangxi sighed helplessly, then jumped up and grabbed Prince Dan's lapel as if crazy, and said angrily, "It's all your fault. The country of Yan has summoned such a calamity!"

After all, Qin Jun came here this time, playing the banner as revenge for Prince Dan's plan to assassinate Qin, and Yan Wangxi's words are not wrong.

"Qin's greed is endless. Could it be that Zhao and South Korea died because of me? I'm afraid Qin will never give up if they don't occupy all the land in the world." He retorted and suggested: "Now that the city can gather [-] elite soldiers, these troops naturally cannot fight the Qin army to the death.

However, my country of Yan still has the land of Liaodong, where there are many mountains and rivers, which can be used as barriers.The father should go there quickly, so Yan Si may not be cut off, I will personally cut off the heir as my father! "

Although Yan Wangxi was unwilling, he also knew that Prince Dan's proposal was the best strategy at present.

But he had no choice but to board the car and lead the remaining elite soldiers to break out from the east gate where the fire was less intense.

Prince Dan, Tai Fu Ju Wu and others continued to stay at the east gate to gather the soldiers of the Yan army who rushed to the east gate one after another after hearing the news.

"His Royal Highness, it is advisable to leave him quickly. The Kingdom of Yan cannot live without Ju Wu, nor can it live without a prince." Ju Wu hurriedly said to Prince Dan.

The east gate of Jicheng has always been the gap in the three gaps in Qin Guowei. However, according to the escaped sergeant, the Qin army has already entered the city, and it will not be long before they will catch up to the east gate.

"Teacher, take care!" Prince Dan didn't say too much, and bowed heavily to Ju Wuxing, Taifu, and kowtowed several times.Leading some sergeants, fled eastward.

But at this time, there were no more than [-] people under Ju Wu's command who stayed at the east gate of Jicheng and were in charge of breaking the rear.
