Chapter 823: Rumors Spread

After receiving the order, the main force of the Jin army immediately built pontoon bridges at many locations on the south bank of the water control to attack the Yan defenders on the north bank of the water.

"Boom, boom, boom ......" With a violent explosion, the arrow towers built by the Yan defenders were blown to pieces, and most of the Yan soldiers on the arrow towers were naturally killed and injured.

The Jin armies on the south bank quickly built pontoon bridges using tree trunks and planks, preparing to cross the water and launch a fierce attack on the defenders of Yan State.

The Jin army suddenly launched a large-scale attack, which made the Yan defenders on the north bank of the water extremely nervous, especially the thunderbolts fired by the thunderbolt on the Jin army's warship, and the huge explosion sound made the Yan defenders even more frightened.

"Fourth brother, the Jin army suddenly launched a large-scale attack." Murong Ba hurriedly rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported loudly.

Murong Ke nodded, and said softly: "I heard it, the Jin army suddenly launched a large-scale attack, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as our army relies on the defense of water control, the main force of the Jin army will never be able to break through the water control defense line, pass the order, let the officers and soldiers of all armies immediately prepare to fight." After speaking, he looked at the subordinate beside him.

"Yes, General." The general clenched his fists and turned to prepare.

Subsequently, the troops and horses of the Yan State immediately defended along the north bank of the water control and resolutely counterattacked the large-scale attack of the main force of the Jin army.

The main force of the Jin army was blocked by the control of the water, and it was unable to form a fatal blow to the Yan army on the north bank, therefore. After the Yan army made comprehensive preparations, the main force of the Jin army seemed to have nothing to do, and it was impossible to break through the water control defense line, but the continuous explosion of the Jin army's thunderbolt bombs still caused a lot of losses to the Yan defenders, and the most important thing is that the violent explosion sound can be transmitted far away, at least, the people of the entire Jicheng can hear the huge explosion of the thunderbolt bomb.

And this huge explosion can tell the soldiers and civilians of SΓΉ Jicheng. The main force of the Jin army has launched a large-scale offensive. Moreover, it is possible to break through the water control defense line at any time and encircle Jicheng.

Just when the explosions on the north bank of the water control sounded one after another, and the people of Jicheng were panicked in their hearts, the Jin army lurking in Jicheng seized this God-given opportunity. In Jicheng, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were spread to force the crossing of the water. The defenders of Yan suffered heavy casualties. News that the water control line is about to be breached.

And after these news were spread by the people of Jicheng, they quickly changed their taste, and the strength of the Jin army was spread to more than one million. The defenders of the Yan State are about to be annihilated, and the water control defense line has been broken through, and the most important thing is that these people are actually rumored that after the main force of the Jin army captures Jicheng, they will take the cruel means of slaughtering the city to retaliate against the huge losses caused to the Jin army by the Yan State when defending the water control defense line.

The terrible rumor that the main force of the Jin army was about to slaughter the city spread rapidly among the people of Jicheng, and soon caused a huge panic among the people of the city.

The people of Jicheng, since they learned that the main force of the Jin army was about to take the means of slaughtering the city, naturally they would not honestly stay in the city and wait for death, so many ordinary people carried the soft at home and poured towards the north gate and east gate of Jicheng, and asked the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate and let them out of the city.

The soldiers of the Yan Army defending the east gate and the north gate did not receive Murong Jun's order, so they naturally did not dare to open the city gate without authorization, but the people at the city gate gathered more and more, if they did not open the door again, these excited people were likely to take drastic actions, and in this way, their lives would be in great danger.

"Open the gates, open the gates." At this time, these Yan soldiers found that they were powerless to stop the people in the city, and they were also convinced that the main force of the Jin army was about to slaughter the city, so they had to open the city gate and flee to the east and north of the city together with these fleeing people, in order to avoid the impending annihilation.

The large-scale flight of the people of Yan naturally attracted the attention of the officials of Yan who was in charge of the security of Jicheng, and he saw that many ordinary people had begun to flee, so he sent his men and horses to dissuade him, and hurriedly rushed to the palace of Jicheng to report the situation in the city to Murong Jun, the king of Yan.

At this moment, in the palace of King Yan, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, was also very anxious, the huge explosion sound coming from the north bank of the water control, he was in the palace, and he could hear it clearly, for such a dense explosion, Murong Jun seemed very worried, and continuously sent his henchmen to the north bank of the water control to understand the situation.

According to the situation transmitted back from the north bank of the water control, Murong Jun learned that the main force of the Jin State had not made any breakthrough, and the army of the Yan State had not suffered great losses, and the news that the water control defense line was impregnable, he was relieved a lot, but the crackling explosion still made it difficult for Murong Jun to feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is wrong." At this moment, the officials of the Yan Kingdom, who were in charge of the security of Jicheng, strode into the main hall.

As soon as Murong Jun heard the bad news, he immediately frowned, and asked with a straight face, "What happened to make you so flustered." ”

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in the city, more than half of the people are fleeing to the east gate and the north gate, and Weichen has sent his subordinates to try to dissuade them, but with little effect." The official of Yan Guo clenched his fists and said truthfully.

Murong Jun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "There are rumors in the city, what kind of rumors are they, and who spread them?" ”

"The people are rumored that the Jin army's million-strong division has broken through the water control defense line, and will take the means of slaughtering the city after capturing Jicheng, as for who spread it, Wechen is still investigating, however, Wechen believes that it must be the Jin army's meticulous ghost, except for them, who will deliberately spread this rumor at this time?" Yan State official said.

When Murong Jun heard this, he said angrily: "The Jin army's meticulous work is really haunting, and it was the rumors they spread a few days ago, but it's a pity that they couldn't be wiped out at that time, so today's disaster." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, what should we do next?" The official of Yan Guo asked.

Murong Jun thought for a moment, looked at the officials in front of him, and said loudly: "This king handed over the first army and horses of the guards to you, you immediately take these horses and horses to arrest those who maliciously spread rumors in the city, and if you find one, you would rather catch a thousand by mistake than let one go." ”

Obviously, Murong Jun had hated the Jin army to the extreme, and was determined to clear all the Jin army in the city.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen knows what to do." The official in charge of Jicheng's security clenched his fists and immediately turned around to prepare.

After his subordinates left the main hall, Murong Jun, the king of Yan, paced in the main hall, facing the current difficult situation, Murong Jun didn't know how long he could hold on, after all, if the main force of the Jin army had been lying on the south bank of the water control and did not leave, the current national strength of the Yan State would not take a few years, and once the water control defense line was breached, Jicheng would inevitably be occupied by the Jin army, so that the Great Yan Kingdom must return to the bitter cold land north of Liaodong, thus completely losing the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains.

On the high platform on the south bank of the water, Hua An, the main general of the Jin army, frowned, seeing that the main army under his command could not make a substantial breakthrough, Hua An's mood was naturally not very good, although this situation had long been expected by him.

At this moment, the only hope that Hua'an can place hope on is a small number of small works lurking in Jicheng, and they will be responsible for spreading rumors in the city after the main army launches an attack, so as to make the people of Jicheng panic, and even, flee from Jicheng because of panic, so that Hua'an's purpose of launching a large-scale feint attack can be regarded as achieved.

"Report, Your Majesty, the scouts have just sent back the news that the east and north gates of Jicheng have been opened, and tens of thousands of people in the city have rushed out of the city and fled to the east and north." Just then, the scouts on the North Shore came with good news.

Hua An was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly: "Okay, it's really good, tens of thousands of people in Yan Country have fled Jicheng, which is a great benefit to our army!" After saying that, his face was full of excitement.

Although among the tens of thousands of Yan people who fled from Jicheng, the population of the army is not large, but the people in Jicheng can provide various logistics support for the army in front, it can be said that tens of thousands of Yan people are tens of thousands of logistics soldiers, and now, a large number of soldiers have fled, which is definitely a big loss for the Yan army, and even, because of the flight of some skilled people, a certain industry in Jicheng will come to a standstill, and then lead to the paralysis of the entire city function.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Imperial Court has sent envoys to announce the decree." Just when Hua'an was proud, the envoys sent by the imperial court arrived at the Jin army camp.

When Hua An heard this, his heart was slightly stunned, the last time the imperial court sent an envoy, it was read out that he would make peace with the army of Yan and establish a boundary with Yishui, of course, Hua An did not listen, this time, the imperial court sent an envoy to announce the decree again, what else could it be besides withdrawing the army?

With doubts, Hua An went to the outside of the Chinese army's tent to accept the holy decree and learned the will of the imperial court.

It turned out that the imperial court still issued an order to let Hua'an withdraw his troops and return to the south, but for Hua'an's disobedience last time, the imperial court did not accuse, but gave Hua'an a great reward for breaking through the Yishui defense line and breaking the army of Yan, and asked Hua'an to take the imperial court as the priority, withdraw the army and return to the south, and not to compete with Yan for the gains and losses of a city and a place.

After Hua'an received the holy decree, the envoy handed over the handwritten letter of Sima Yu, the king of Ji, to Hua'an, and urged Hua'an to withdraw his troops and return to the south. (To be continued......)
