Qin Jiyan took the arrow handed to him by his men, drew his bow, and pointed it at the city wall...
Of course, the arrows His Highness Qin shot at this time were by no means ordinary arrows, but arrows with sparks. As soon as they touched the kerosene on the city wall, they would immediately burn.
Qin Jiyan held a bow and arrow, stepped forward on his horse, and shot the arrow in his hand within the shooting range.
"Whoosh..." The rocket was like a shooting star, streaking across the night sky and flying towards the city wall.
Of course, when Qin Jiyan came forward with his horse, Jing Yan was not polite and ordered the soldiers on the wall to shoot arrows at Qin Jiyan!
With a "boom" sound, the rocket hit the city wall and immediately ignited the kerosene on it. The entire city wall was like a sea of fire, but Jing Yan just pretended not to see it.
Anyway, if the city wall catches fire, no one will be killed.
"Fire the arrows! Don't let them leave." Jing Yan stood on the city wall, with a hint of coldness on his gentle face.
Although Qin Jiyan was not the only person standing in front of the horse, Jing Yan's target was only Qin Jiyan, and all the crossbow arrows were aimed only at Qin Jiyan.
"Your Highness, be careful." Tang Yong had just retreated. Seeing that Qin Jiyan was in danger, he ran over again and protected Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan didn't say much, and fought and retreated under the cover of his men.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Jing Yan saw that Qin Jiyan was about to leave, so he directly grabbed a chariot, raised it, and put it in front of him, "Your Highness, the Emperor's Grandson, look here!"
Jing Yan called out, and Qin Jiyan looked back and saw that the crossbow in Jing Yan's hand was already aimed at him. The moment he turned around, Jing Yan let go, and the crossbow arrows flew towards him like lightning...
Whoosh... There seems to be an invisible barrier in the air, trying to block the speed of the crossbow arrows, but it is penetrated by the crossbow arrows, and the speed does not decrease by half.
"What a strong arm." In just a blink of an eye, the crossbow arrow was in front of him. Qin Jiyan wanted to dodge it, but it would not be easy.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly..." Tang Yong was beside Qin Jiyan. He rushed over as soon as he saw it, but it was still too late.
The angle of this arrow was very tricky. Unless Tang Yong was right in front of Qin Jiyan, it would be really difficult to block it.
"Your Highness..." Feng Yuqian was some distance away from Qin Jiyan. Seeing this scene, he ran over like crazy and shouted towards the city wall: "Jing Yan, if you dare to hurt His Highness, I will never finish with you."
"It's okay." Different from Tang Yong's fear and Feng Yuqian's nervousness, Qin Jiyan was very excited. Just when the crossbow was only a slap away from him, Qin Jiyan slapped the horse's back with his right hand, jumped up, and then
…
Then he saw Qin Jiyan's feet landing on the crossbow arrow that was moving forward rapidly.
"Your Highness?" Feng Yuqian was dumbfounded.
We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and His Highness Qin has become so powerful?
He and Jiao Xiangdi seemed to be lagging far behind.
Not only Feng Yuqian, but also Tang Yong and others were dumbfounded.
They were very close, and they were very aware of the power of the arrow just now. Normally His Highness Qin really couldn't dodge it, but His Highness Qin not only dodged it, but he also dodged it very beautifully.
"Awesome!" Tang Yong admired him from the bottom of his heart. Originally he was a little hesitant about completely turning to Qin Jiyan, but now he was not worried at all.
Based on Qin Jiyan's martial arts, ordinary people could not kill him, and it was inevitable that he would secure the throne.
"Retreat!" Qin Jiyan did not want to fight. When the crossbow arrow slowed down, he jumped down and fell behind.
"Retreat!" the ordering soldier shouted loudly, and one hundred thousand soldiers immediately retreated, while the soldiers who were killed and injured were carried down by the soldiers in charge of logistics.
"Three people died and more than thirty people were injured." The dead and injured were all Tang Yong's men, so Tang Yong took the initiative to report the matter to Qin Jiyan.
"Well done, let everyone have a good rest and attack the city again tonight." It was already dawn after setting up camp, and Qin Jiyan's words were correct.
"Yes." Although Tang Yong was puzzled as to why Qin Jiyan repeatedly chose to attack at night, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
Although he didn't have much dealings with Qin Jiyan, Tang Yong knew very well that Qin Jiyan was a stickler for his words.
Tang Yong turned around and left. Jiao Xiangdi came in with a letter, "Your Highness, news from the capital."
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan opened the letter and put it down after just one glance.
What the letter said was about the northwest, and he had received the information about the northwest seven days ago.
King Zhao and the people of Xihu completely fell out. King Zhao jointly attacked Xihu and Daqin, but was unable to resist. After the defeat, King Zhao wanted to commit suicide, but Qin Yunchu took the opportunity to seize power and kidnapped King Zhao and Concubine De.
Princess Zhao and her younger brothers handed it over to Prince Pingxi, saying they wanted to go to the palace to plead guilty.
In any case, King Zhao is the prince, and Qin Yunchu is the grandson of the emperor. Although King Zhao's family rebelled, the King of Pingxi County has no right to deal with King Zhao. Qin Yunchu surrendered, and the King of Pingxi County did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation to the emperor.
Knowing this, he sent a large army to send King Zhao and his family to Beijing.
Of the 200,000 troops who had conspired with King Zhao to rebel, there were only 20,000 left. Prince Pingxi did not dare to use them, nor did he dare to kill them. He could only keep them well in the rear and wait for the emperor to make a decision.
The rebellion of King Zhao had been subsided, but Xihu did not retreat.
Xihu and Da Qin have been fighting for so long, and they have gained nothing. They are considering withdrawing their troops. However, at this time, civil strife broke out in Xihu, Emperor Xihu was poisoned, and several princes began to compete for military power.
Everyone in Xihu knew that Feng Yao was not close to any of the princes. He was the emperor's man. Now that the emperor was poisoned, he would naturally lead his troops back to the imperial city to protect the king.
King Qin Baojia was a righteous teacher, and Feng Yao was already well-known, not to mention that after the poisoned Emperor Xihu woke up, he issued three edicts in a row, ordering Feng Yao to lead troops to Beijing, but...
Several princes of Emperor Xihu refused!
Several princes in Xihu who are expected to ascend to the throne have more or less military power in their hands. Even if they don't have military power, they now control the palace, can they directly prepare the imperial edict?
Before the three edicts arrived, the palace issued an imperial edict to bring Feng Yao to Beijing to question him.
Feng Yao refused to admit it. After several negotiations, Feng Yao was forced by several princes of Xihu to have no way out. In the name of Qingjun side, he supported his own troops and quickly occupied three cities at the junction of Xihu and Daqin.
To put it bluntly, Feng Yao rebelled, but he did not rebel because he wanted to be the emperor, but to save the dying Emperor Xihu.
In this way, although Feng Yao's reputation is still not good, it is better than rebelling for selfish desires. At least in the eyes of Xihu civil servants, Feng Yao is not so heinous and even has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the army.
With the chaos in Xihu and Feng Yao becoming independent, the war in the northwest is almost over. However, Prince Pingxi cannot come back because...
One of the three cities occupied by Feng Yao is the city of Da Qin, which is the headquarters of the northwest army. That city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the fortress of Da Qin. They have to take it back!
