Chapter 174: Watching the Soldier Yanqi

The Han army outside the city had already used up their food. Under the leadership of their respective officers, they sent troops from three sides at the same time and lined up at the foot of Yuanqu City.

"Prepare for two or three sons!"

Wang Hu commanded the siege camp and had already set up a siege, waiting for Zhang Yue's order.

At this moment, the gate of Yuanqu City opened.

Under the leadership of a bearded general, the people in the city rushed out of the gate with the head of King Yanqi.

Then he knelt at the city gate tremblingly, waiting for the Han army to surrender.

Zhang Yue waved his hand and Yi came forward from the cavalry first, controlled the city gate and quickly controlled the city wall...

The one who brought the Yanqi people out of the city to surrender was Yanqi's Grand Commander, Chui Qi.

At this time, he no longer had the majesty and demeanor of his past, and he seemed to have suddenly become dozens of years older.

He fell to the ground, not daring to make any extra moves, for fear of causing misunderstandings from the Han army.

"Bring him here!"

Zhang Yue pointed at Huo Qi with a horse whip.

Soon a team of personal guards stepped forward and took him to Zhang Yue's horse.

"You are the Grand Commander of Yanqi?" Zhang Yue asked casually while playing with the horse whip.

Zhu Qi raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Yue, "It's true that I'm Zhu Qi!"

"Can you know your guilt?"

Zhu Qi said, "I don't know what crime I have committed!"

Zhang Yue looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

It lasted for half a quarter of an hour

Zhang Yue suddenly sighed, "What a beautiful city..."

"Dong"

Na Ziqi fell to the ground after hearing this.

"Please go around Yuanqu and give the people of Yuanqu a way out!"

After saying that, he kowtowed continuously.

Zhang Yue sighed, "Get up, can you know your guilt?"

Zhu Qi crawled on the ground, "I know the crime..."

...

Conquering Cai Qi is only the first step in Zhang Yue's plan, and Yuanqucheng plays an extremely important role in Zhang Yue's plan.

Yuanqu City is not only strategically located and important, but also has iron ore and a large number of craftsmen.

This is also said to be a valuable asset to the Han army in the Western Regions.

In order to shock the Yanqi Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom was completely transformed into a land of the Han Dynasty.

After careful consideration, Zhang Yue prepared to hold a grand entry ceremony in Yuanqu City.

“City-entry style?”

After Zhang Yue proposed his plan, everyone was confused and didn't know what this way of entering the city was.

After Zhang Yue's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Isn’t this just “watching the army”, it’s just that the location and form are different.

"What do you guys think?" Zhang Yue asked again.

Everyone said, "Good!"

Since everyone agreed, it was easy to handle. After some discussion, we quickly prepared the city-style preparations.

On the other hand, Chui Qi, who had completely surrendered, also began to organize the nobles in the city according to Zhang Yue's request, preparing to welcome the Han army into the city.

The next day, after the morning meal, with Zhang Yue's order, the entry of the city began grandly with the ancient war songs.

"Why do you say you have no clothes, you are with me..."

Zhao Yi led his cavalry as the leader, holding up the Han army's Canglong Banner and walking in the forefront of the team.

Following him was a cavalry team composed of all the nobles of the Yuan Yanqi Kingdom.

Their uneven formations contrasted sharply with the leading Han army.

It also allowed the Yanqi people to truly see the strength of the Han army and the gap between the two sides.

The Yanqi noble phalanx followed the Han army infantry phalanx.

The Han army infantry covered in armor exuded a strong murderous aura, which made the Yanqi people on both sides of the road silent.

After the Han army's infantry phalanx, there were cavalry led by Zhang Yue. On that day, Zhang Yue put on the iron armored cloak given by the emperor, rode on the horse, waved to the crowd frequently along the way, and the joy of victory was revealed between his eyebrows.

"Did you see clearly? That's Marquis Yunyang!"

Two people in the crowd were whispering.

Behind Zhang Yue were the cavalry led by Geng Shu, and this cavalry showed a completely different style, which can be seen from their weapons.

The main weapon of this cavalry is actually a horde of air.

"Is this the Han army's elliptical soldiers?"

"I heard that the Han Grand General Sima defeated the Xiongnu Shanyu with this halberd cavalry..."

Walking behind Gengshu's cavalry were the Han army's crossbowmen. The huge crossbow made the Yanqi people who were watching it feel frightened.

The Yanqi people quietly discussed the strength and invincibility of the Han army.

At the same time, we are also grateful for the wise decision of the nobles to surrender.

And by the way, cursed the dead former king.

Then the rest of the Han army also entered the city one after another... The team of people entering the city lasted for 7 or 8 miles. The vanguard troops participating in the city had entered the city garrison, and the troops behind had not yet set off.

The entire entry-to-city ceremony took more than two hours before it ended.

Although it took a lot of time, the city-style effect was also satisfactory.

After entering the city, no one dared to yell at the battle against the Han Dynasty from the nobles to ordinary soldiers in Yanqi.

The Han army completely achieved the effect of defeating others without fighting.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later, and the Han army had completely controlled the entire Yanqi Kingdom.

The Han army's actions went very smoothly, and no one in the entire Yanqi State, from soldiers to civilians, resisted the Han army's actions.

On that day, Zhang Yue and Wang Hu and others led by Zhu Qi, they drove out of Yuanqu City and headed west.

There is exactly where the Yanqi Kingdom smelted and built weapons.

The group walked for almost half a day, and after noon, they arrived in front of a dirty hill.

"Is this the iron mine?" Zhang Yue frowned and asked to Cai Qi beside him.

"This place is Yanqi Iron Mine!"

Zhu Qi gave a positive answer.

Zhang Yue nodded and walked into the mountains first.

Before we walked far, we saw a group of people waiting respectfully in front of a dilapidated pavilion.

"Greetings to the Lord!" These people shouted in unison as soon as they saw Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue frowned and said to Zhu Qi beside him, "What should these people do, what should they do..."

"promise"

Zhu Qi agreed to the Han people.

Then he went forward to let the managers and supervisors of the workshop take the slave workers to continue working.

"Master, where is this smelting located..."

At this time, Wang Hu, who was about to be in the camp, was no longer anxious.

"June, please..."

Zhu Qi did not dare to neglect, so he immediately took Zhang Yue and his party to a wider road to the east.

After turning two turns, it was already a place to smelting.
