Chapter 721 The Empress Kills the Enemy General Alone
"Come on!"
The Yan army soldiers were excited and rushed towards the city gate with their weapons in hand and faces full of excitement.
Yan Fuyao rode her horse forward, but there were too many infantrymen in front of her and she couldn't increase her speed, so she had no choice but to follow behind.
When Shen Changgong saw Yan Fuyao getting on, he immediately rode his horse and followed her. He followed behind her, observing the dangers around him and guarding against hidden arrows or assassins.
The Yan army filed in through the city gate, and then many soldiers ran up the stairs to clear out the enemy troops on the city wall.
More soldiers, led by the general, rushed towards the arms storage area in the north of the city.
According to the intelligence they had obtained, the three blocks in the north city near the city gate had been completely cleared out and used as a military supply transfer point. They immediately rushed into these three blocks, hacked anyone they saw, killed all the guards, and then firmly controlled this location.
Seeing that they had obtained the military supplies, Yan Fuyao ordered his troops to split into three groups and march towards the three city gates. At the same time, he sent a team to control the city lord's mansion.
On the other side, General Wei was still hiding under the city wall, quietly looking out of the city gate, waiting for the Yan army to arrive and give them a head-on blow.
Seeing the shells flying over their heads and landing in the city without hitting them at all, General Wei couldn't help but feel proud. He thought to himself that he was really smart and could think of such a good idea. As long as the Yan army came in, he would be able to give them a severe blow and then repel them.
Once the Yan army is defeated, he can retreat to Jingzhou with his troops and some military supplies, and add another achievement to his list of merits.
However, just when he was feeling proud and complacent, a soldier from the north suddenly came running over and shouted at the top of his voice,
"General! General, this is bad! General, you're finished!"
"I'm alive and well! What are you yelling about?"
General Wei was furious and pointed at the soldier and roared.
"General! Tens of thousands of Yan troops suddenly appeared in the north. Tens of thousands! They came charging at us all of a sudden. Run!"
"What? Where did tens of thousands of Yan troops come from?!"
General Wei felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his blood flowing backwards, and he seemed to have lost all his strength at once. He looked at the soldier in disbelief.
"I don't know, General. They came charging at us all of a sudden, like crazy. There are only a hundred people in the North City, and the enemy army is estimated to be close to a hundred thousand!"
"One hundred thousand troops? Where did the one hundred thousand troops come from?"
General Wei roared and roared,
"Is it necessary to mobilize 100,000 Yan troops to attack a city defended by only 20,000 local troops?"
He felt like the sky was falling and his worldview had completely collapsed. This was something he could not understand at all.
"General? What should we do now? Let's retreat quickly, fight our way out of the south gate, break through the encirclement, there's still a glimmer of hope!"
"Right, right, right! Retreat, retreat! Go and gather the other two people from the city gate!"
General Wei, who was frightened by the Yan army, no longer had the courage to fight to the death, because he had already accepted the idea of retreating after the battle.
He was about to lead his men to rush towards the gate, but suddenly two shells were fired through the gate, killing a large number of Chu soldiers.
Then, the Yan army came rushing in from outside.
These Yan troops occupied the city gate and took the initiative to charge in.
The army that broke into the city from the north also rushed towards this side from the north.
This situation was not only happening in the south of the city, but also in the east and west of the city. The Yan army outside was attacking inside, and the main army in the north of the city that had already entered the city was divided into three routes, and together with the three armies outside, they attacked the Chu army inside from both inside and outside.
There were a total of 20,000 local troops, divided equally among the three city gates, numbering only more than 6,000. Each of them was then attacked from both inside and outside by tens of thousands of Yan troops.
The consequences can be imagined.
"It's over... I've been fooled!"
General Wei muttered to himself.
Only then did he realize what was going on.
The Yan army was clearly launching a feint attack, attacking from three directions to attract his main force, and then sending the main force to launch a surprise attack from the north.
Why launch a surprise attack on the north?
The north is full of military supplies, and the Yan army is interested in them!
"Cunning villain, the Yan thief must die!"
General Wei, who prided himself on his intelligence, was severely tricked by the Yan army. He roared and rushed towards the Yan army behind him.
As a general, his martial arts skills were quite good. He led the Chu army forward and killed several Yan soldiers.
Suddenly, he saw a woman in a dragon robe, riding a white horse, holding a sword, rushing towards him.
General Wei's brain suddenly froze.
No, what's going on? Is the Queen of Yan coming?
The Emperor of Yan State personally led an army of 100,000 to attack a small city defended by only 20,000 local soldiers?
As for that? !
But he suddenly thought of a feasibility, a huge achievement.
If they could capture the Queen of Dayan alive, they would definitely be able to escape and make great contributions.
He immediately yelled,
"Brothers, the Queen of Dayan is right there. If we catch her, we will be saved!"
"Come on!"
General Wei brandished his sword and charged forward, heading straight for the empress.
But there are still many Yan troops among them.
Shen Changgong came to Yan Fuyao and said with a smile,
"See? This is the enemy's reaction when they see you on the battlefield. You are much more attractive to the enemy than to me, the commander."
"Humph, I am the coach today!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I am your bodyguard."
"Watch how I kill the enemy generals on the battlefield!"
"Ah You?"
Shen Changgong looked at Yan Fuyao in bewilderment, and was shocked in his heart. Has Her Majesty the Empress become so arrogant that she doesn't know her own weight?
When he was about to dissuade her, he saw the Empress put the imperial sword in her hand back into the scabbard at her waist, and then she felt behind her, and a short-barreled flintlock appeared in her hand.
Shen Changgong: ???
Is this what you mean by single-handedly killing the enemy general in front of the battle?
The empress held the gun with one hand, closed her left eye, aimed with her right eye, and then pulled the trigger decisively.
The bullet flew out of the chamber in an instant and hit General Wei right between his eyebrows.
General Wei's body suddenly stumbled, and then his eyes were filled with shock, his pupils dilated, and he fell straight to the ground.
Perhaps, he didn't know how he died until he died.
The empress looked at everyone with disdain, raised her gun gracefully, and gently blew away the white smoke from the muzzle.
Shen Changgong was very perceptive and immediately clapped his hands and shouted,
"Good! Your Majesty is mighty!"
"Your Majesty is too strong. You killed the enemy general single-handedly!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The Yan army around him also shouted, praising and praising His Majesty.
This made the empress feel a little embarrassed, and she looked at Shen Changgong fiercely and said,
"Bah, a bunch of treacherous officials, all they know is flattery."
