The three cities in the south of the Yangtze River have been in chaos recently. Although Jing Yan has not done anything to disturb the people and even tried his best to maintain the peace on the surface of the south of the Yangtze River, major events such as the change of political power and the robbery of rich households cannot be hidden. Ordinary people have already smelled it.
The smell of danger.
During this period, people in Jiangnan went out less often, tried their best to store food at home, and stayed close to home for fear of something happening.
But some things cannot be avoided by fear. No matter how worried the people in Jiangnan are, what should happen will still happen.
That night, ordinary people went to bed early as usual, but in the middle of the night they were awakened by waves of war drums...
"What happened? What happened?" The people who woke up didn't even bother to put on their clothes. They just put on a coat and ran out.
"It's not good, it's not good, there's going to be a war." War drums beat outside the city, waking up many people and making many people cry.
"Wow wow wow..." The screams of women, the panic of men, and the cries of children were intertwined. People who had already turned off their lights stood up and lit them one by one. Some brave men even ran out to ask what happened.
What happened?
"It's a war, it's a war, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming." The streets and alleys that had been quiet due to the curfew suddenly became noisy. Young and bold gangsters were crawling around in the alleys, spreading loudly and spreading propaganda.
Words that scare people.
"Run, run, there's a war, there's going to be a war!"
"The imperial troops are coming, everyone, run away!"
"The rebels have been caught, the rebels have been caught..."
…
Some gangsters shouted along the street, spreading "rumors" about the war. They said they were rumors because they didn't know what was going on. The reason why they shouted everywhere was just to scare ordinary people when they saw an opportunity, and then they took advantage of them.
When the person ran away, he jumped into the house and stole something.
As a result, before the battle outside the city started, chaos broke out in the city. Jing Yan had long expected this possibility, but he did nothing and allowed the chaos in Jiangnan to guard the Jingyuan.
He took the opportunity to bump into Gu Qiancheng.
When Qin Jiyan led his troops outside the city gate, Jing Yan received the news and immediately waited for him at the city gate. When he saw Qin Jiyan coming back with a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the smile on Jing Yan's face became wider and wider.
Indifferent.
The day has finally come!
After fighting this battle, he knew the gap between himself and Da Qin, and he knew how long it would take before he could lead his troops to defeat Da Qin.
"His Royal Highness, long time no see." Jing Yan stood on the city wall, surrounded by soldiers holding torches. The jumping flames shone on his face, and the smile on his face was as gentle as jade. He disappeared.
There was no trace of murderous intent; under the dim light of the fire, he looked like a devil hiding in the darkness. You couldn't see his expression clearly, but you could feel his murderous intent.
Qin Jiyan led a horse in front, followed by a hundred thousand troops. There were not many torches in the army. Although they could barely illuminate, they could not illuminate Qin Jiyan's face clearly. At least Jing Yan, who was standing on the city wall, could not see anything.
Qin Jiyan could only be barely seen.
"Master Jingzhuang, are you alright?" Qin Jiyan replied, his tone cold, but his attitude could be called friendly.
One was on the city wall and the other was outside the city. The two were far apart and their voices were not loud, but everyone present heard them.
"The owner of this village is very good, but Your Majesty the Emperor's Grandson, you were seriously injured before. I wonder if the injury has healed?" Ten days of hard work is enough for Qin Jiyan to recover from his injuries, but the prerequisite is that Qin Jiyan does not run around.
"Thank you very much, Master Jingzhuang, for caring about me. This is just a skin injury. It's not as bad as your injuries, Master Jingzhuang." Jing Yan specifically mentioned Qin Jiyan's injury. He didn't really care about him, but just to tell people on both sides.
Although Qin Jiyan acted like a normal person, he was actually injured, and it was him.
Doing this would not only damage the morale of Qin Jiyan's side, but also boost the morale of his own side. Qin Jiyan knew his intentions, so how could he follow his wishes.
"You really don't suffer at all." Seeing that Qin Jiyan didn't give in at all, Jing Yan knew that Qin Jiyan was probably very angry this time.
Thinking about it, if Qin Jiyan hadn't been so angry, why would he have attacked all night?
After arriving overnight, Qin Jiyan's army was also tired. Although starting a war at this time could catch him off guard, it was not a wise choice. After all, he knew in advance that there was a battle and had already prepared for it.
No matter how chaotic it is, it won't get anywhere.
Qin Jiyan had no time to chat with Jing Yan. When Tang Yong sent word that he was ready, Qin Jiyan ordered the attack without saying a word.
"Siege the city!"
Qin Jiyan gave an order, and Tang Yong immediately rushed forward with 20,000 vanguards. Feng Yuqian and another general attacked from both wings to cover Tang Yong...
"Charge!" Tang Yong raised his sword and took the lead, charging forward...
The firelight flashed across his face. Jing Yan saw the strange yet familiar face and smiled silently, "General Hussar? The general sent by the emperor ended up charging forward for Qin Jiyan. I don't know that the emperor knew this."
How happy would things be?”
Jing Yan seemed to be able to see the internal fight between Qin Jiyan and the old emperor, but unfortunately... he couldn't see it with his own eyes.
Compared with the siege, the defenders had a geographical advantage. Facing the fierce attack launched by Qin Jiyan, Jing Yan took a step back calmly and said, "Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Crossbow arrows with thick arms were shot down from the city wall. They were not densely packed, but their lethality was huge. One arrow could pass through five or six people at the same time. The soldiers hit by the crossbow arrows were struck by the huge impact.
, fell straight back, no one could stand firm,
"It's such a big deal to mount the siege crossbow on the city wall." Feng Yuqian knew at a glance that the weapon Jing Yan used to defend the city was the crossbow cart they used to attack the city. A crossbow cart like this is not easy to make.
The losses are so great that only the armies stationed at the border can equip them.
This time Feng Yuqian also brought dozens of crossbow carts, but they were not as lethal as the crossbow carts Jing Yan was using now.
At first, Feng Yuqian thought that the old emperor was guarding the Feng family and did not distribute the best weapons to the border towns of Northern Qi. Later, when he heard Qin Jiyan's words, he found out that these ballistae were made by Jing Yan, and they were more lethal than the imperial court.
The ballista used is more than three times more powerful, and it is not easy to wear out and is easy to carry. It is a must-have weapon for leading troops in battles and attacking and defending cities!
The reason why Jing Yanzhi was able to create such a high-quality weapon was because his maternal ancestor was a member of the Moh family, a Moh family who was proficient in mechanism techniques!
Even if Jing Yan only learned a superficial knowledge, it would still be more than enough to improve the ballista.
Qin Jiyan has the brave and capable Feng Family Army in his hands, and Jing Yan has powerful weapons in his hands. It can be said that the two sides are almost the same in terms of strength.
In the siege battle that night, although Qin Jiyan's men did not break the city, they climbed up the city wall. If Jing Yan hadn't used kerosene in the end, the result might have been different...
Qin Jiyan did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices. When he saw Jing Yan ordering people to pour kerosene, Qin Jiyan immediately ordered his troops to retreat.
Tang Yong and his party were about to climb the city wall, but fell short at this moment. They felt very depressed. However, they also knew that Qin Jiyan's call to retreat at this moment was for their own good. Otherwise, if the other party got angry, they would have to die.
retreat!
The vanguard troops led by Tang Yong immediately retreated without saying a word, without stopping for even a moment. As soon as they evacuated to a safe area, Qin Jiyan gave the order...
