"The Beilu are going to attack the city, and the Beilu are going to attack the city!" Accompanied by the sound of trumpets, the soldiers on the top of the city shouted, and the governor of Jiangzhou, King Yongjia, who was supervising the battle on the spot, ordered a catapult to prepare cannons.

The Zhou army erected many catapults outside the city, and there were also many catapults in the city. There were already many stone bullets weighing dozens of kilograms. Chen Yan felt that as long as he responded properly, the Zhou army would definitely be able to return to failure today.

It was already afternoon, but the Zhou army had just begun to attack the city. They either had the confidence to attack the city before sunset or were ready for night battles. Chen Yan knew that the catapult could shoot the city day and night, so he judged that the Zhou army planned to attack the city overnight.

It doesn’t matter, the city is already ready. If you want to fight at night, I will be with you to the end!

There are some special points in night battles when attacking and defending the city. It is pitch black at night. The soldiers cannot see the enemy clearly and cannot shoot arrows. Therefore, they need to light a torch, but they can light a torch at will on the top of the city, which is a living target.

The enemy archers can come to the city in the dark without ignition, and use the figures reflected by the firelight on the city to fire cold arrows. The city is dark and the archers on the city can't aim accurately. In order to avoid this unfavorable situation, the torches guarding the city during night wars must be handled specially.

If the torch is to be poked out of the city wall, it is best to add a "cover" to let the flames shine down so that the defenders can see the movements under the city clearly. Because of the "cover", the flames cannot reflect the figures on the city wall, which can increase the difficulty of aiming for enemy archers outside the city.

There are many preparations to be made in Ye Zhan, and of course Chen Yan could not do it himself, so he planned to ask the Sima Huang Wei of the State to arrange these things, but the other party had already visited the city before, so Chen Yan called Xunyang Prefect 6 Zhongrong and ordered him to urge his subordinates to prepare for the night battle.

"King, will the Beilu attack the city overnight?"

"Be prepared for any trouble. Even if they don't plan to fight at night, our army must be prepared. As long as they defeat the Northern Barbarians and survive the first day, the soldiers will be more at ease."

While he was talking, the Zhou army outside the city had approached the range of the siege aircraft in the city. Seeing that the opponent had all kinds of siege equipment, Chen Yan felt a little frightened. 6 Zhongrong tried his best to persuade him to leave the city to avoid accidents.

"I can't leave. Although the city is dangerous, I can certainly go down to take risks, but what about other soldiers? I have to stay at the city, otherwise how can I inspire the morale of the army?"

Chen Yan thought it very clearly that instead of hiding in a safe place in the city and waiting for others to bring good or bad news, it would be better to take the risk of supervising the battle on the top of the city. At least the progress of the battle can be known as soon as possible. He doesn't want to try it when he sits in a dark place and waits for death.

Seeing that Chen Yan insisted, Zhongrong didn't say much. For some reason, he looked at the south direction of the city. Chen Yan followed his movements and looked at the south side of the city. There was nothing unusual about it.

There was originally a bridge on the Shushui River in the suburbs of the south of the city. Yesterday, after the fortress at the Shushui River was lost, the defenders at the Shushui River burned the bridge. If the Zhou army wanted to attack the city from the south of the city, it would be more troublesome. Although the water level of the Shushui River was not very deep, it could at least block the opponent's progress.

“6 too…”

Before Chen Yan finished speaking, he heard a huge noise in the south of the city. Something seemed to cause an uproar. Chen Yan felt something was wrong and was about to take someone over to see it in person, but he saw thick smoke coming out from the south gate.

It was the city tower burning. It seemed that the south of the city had not received the attack from the Zhou army. Suddenly, the fire broke out, either by water or by... a mutiny!

A mutiny may be caused by the soldiers being dissatisfied with their treatment, or to think that rewards and punishments are unfair, or to resist the fact that they have been exploited too much. At this moment, the government has just passed the money, so it is impossible for the above reasons.

‘Defense comes and goes, but something happened!’ Chen Yan was shocked and immediately led his men to rush towards the south gate along the road on the city wall. He wanted to suppress the mutiny before the rioters opened the door.

Before he could run a few steps, he could hear a vague shouting from the south gate: "It's open! It's open!"

As if his heart was hit hard, Chen Yan staggered and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't understand why there was still someone who opened the door to offer the city.

It’s just that after losing the battle, the two forts outside the city fell, you were scared!

The movements in the south of the city not only gave Chen Yan a wake-up call, but also the defenders and young and strong men on the top of the city were stunned. They did not expect the situation to turn so unexpectedly, and many people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Someone has opened the door to celebrate the city? So what else can I do?

"Quick, go to the south gate immediately, close the door, close the door!!"

Chen Yan shouted at the top of his lungs, shook off the guards' hand to support him, pulled out his sword and called the soldiers to rush to the south gate with him. He felt something was wrong as soon as he walked a few steps: except for the guards of the royal palace, few people followed him.

He stopped, and saw that most of the soldiers were standing still. He thought it was not good in his heart, and asked with luck: "You...why are you doing in a stand-alone manner? The Beilu is about to enter the city, and why are you doing in a stand-alone manner!"

Seeing Xunyang Prefect 6 Zhongrong following him, Chen Yan shouted loudly: "6 Prefect! Ask them to reinforce the South Gate immediately!"

"King, things have come to this..."

"What's up! After closing the South Gate, the Northern Gate cannot enter. If they want to capture the Tangkou, they will have a delusion!"

6 Zhongrong looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression, then smiled bitterly and said, "King! Now that's the matter, the official... is powerless!"

"You...you...you, you want to surrender?!"

Chen Yan looked at the soldiers in front of him, his heart was as if he was shattered. He couldn't understand why such a thing happened. He still had the power to protect himself. As long as everyone worked together, at least he would have a chance to wait until reinforcements arrived.

He has already taken out all the money and silk to reward the army to inspire morale, and has done everything he should do, but the result is...

His chest was filled with resentment, and he didn't know where to start. Chen Yan looked at the indifferent soldiers on the city, and the generals, his eyes were red and then he roared loudly: "You are going to surrender, why are you still facing the reward just now!"

"Coward! Coward! You would rather surrender and be a dog to the Beilu than fight bloody battles!"

Many soldiers silently lowered their heads when they heard this, and no one refuted them because the other party scolded them correctly. This is the truth, but even if they don’t care about themselves, they have to consider their families.

The one-legged bronze man is very cruel, but it is said to be very trustworthy. Since he said he would slaughter the city, he would definitely slaughter the city. Since he said he could save his family, he would just surrender, and as long as the soldiers surrendered, the whole family would be able to save it.

No one is willing to surrender, but the premise is that he can beat him. In the current situation, can the official army beat him?

Can't beat it.

Caishan, Sangluozhou, and Xunyangzhai all went down in one day. How long can the Shukou be kept?

Since you can't beat it, what else can you say?

The sound of horse hooves came, and Chen Yanxu looked in the sound. A large number of Zhou cavalry outside the city were galloping, passing through the southwest corner of the city, and galloping towards the south gate of the city. He was both sneered and shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Shoot, shoot arrows!"

No one took action, and the archers behind the female wall remained silent. Seeing this, Chen Yan waved his sword to slash. The archers did not dare to resist but could not retreat. Seeing that they had no choice but to retreat, they held the sword at their waists tightly.

"King! King! It's over, don't struggle!"

6 Zhongrong rushed forward and grabbed Chen Yan's arm tightly. After a fight, the knife rolled to the ground, while 6 Zhongrong was kicked to the ground by Chen Yan. Seeing that something was going to happen, both followers drew their swords and stepped forward.

"6 Zhongrong! You ungrateful traitor!"

Chen Yan roared, his hairpin fell off his head and caused his head to be dispersed. He snatched the guard's sword and was about to step forward and chop 6 Zhongrong. He was held tightly by the old servant and failed to move forward. Looking at the soldiers around him who gave up resisting the impending surrender, the young Chen Yan couldn't bear it and then burst into tears:

"Coward! Coward! I wish I could kill cowards like me!"

He was disheveled, crying and laughing, Chen Yan shouted and scolded at the top of his lungs, and the old servant hugged him and cried desperately: "It's over now, king, be more decent, be more decent..."

"Decent? Decent... As the eldest prince of Chen, I, Chen Yan, will definitely not surrender like a coward!"

Chen Yan murmured to himself, then he wanted to commit suicide by wielding his sword, but was taken away by his close servants: "Why is this trouble for the king? Now that things have come to this, please protect your useful body..."
