Chapter 96 The Last Struggle

Li Yan was surprised when he learned that Cheng Jian came to surrender. He rushed to the city gate. Qin Huaiyu was escorting about 100 people. When he saw Li Yan, Cheng Jian said: "Your Highness, the lower highness is forced to pretend to be willing to flatter Gao Quan. These are the relatives of Gao Quan and the county magistrates. They found the lower highness to intend to rebel. The lower highness asked the clan members to arrest them all. Please check with your highness!"

After looking at these people suspiciously, Li Yan felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He said, "Do you pretend to be a favor to Gao Quan, I will find out!"

Li Yan ignored him and walked up to the city tower to look at the Cheng clan members who were kneeling on the ground outside the city and constantly shouting for justice for Cheng Jian. He said to Qin Huaiyu: "Prepare Cheng Jian and others to Yizhou prison and take strict supervision!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qin Huaiyu took the order and left. If these were really the leaders of the five prominent clans, then the rebellion of the prominent clans in Yizhou could be avoided, and the group of people without a leader could not do anything big.

The situation in Yizhou was basically stable. Li Yan felt relieved and turned around and saw Wei Tieniu standing on the city wall like a wooden stake. Li Yan smiled and said, "Tie Niu has worked hard these two days, and organized so many people to guard Yizhou City."

"Your Highness, we are all voluntarily. Without you, we can't eat cakes or drink rice porridge. They all said that Your Highness can let us live a good life!" Wei Tieniu said excitedly.

Li Yan looked at these simple people with relief and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you eat and wear warmly, and have the remaining money to buy some wine and drink!"

After Li Yan said that, the people all laughed.

Outside the city, Chai Lingwu was hiding behind the five tribes. The remaining dead men arrived last night and rested for a night, so they asked Cheng Jian to act as planned.

At this time, the clan leader and the supervisor of the five surnames gathered in a dense forest to wait for the signal in Yizhou City. In order to prevent the plan from failing, Chai Lingwu asked the clan leader of the five clans to summon the clan members. If the dead soldiers in the city fail, he would let these people attack Yizhou City and give it a try.

In the Yizhou Prison, Cheng Jian and others entered the cell under the escort of the mansion soldiers. Cold sweat broke out on Cheng Jian's forehead, and success or failure came to another defeat.

Gao Quan and other officials were all detained in the innermost cell, and the soldiers escorted Cheng Jian and walked inside, but they were all retaliated.

Such movements in the cell immediately attracted Gao Quan's attention. He looked at Cheng Jian in disbelief: "Why are you arrested!"

Cheng Jian did not speak, but shook his eyes repeatedly. Gao Quan felt something was wrong. He looked behind Cheng Jian, and there were people he didn't know, which made him even more strange.

However, at this moment, the people who were still lowering their heads suddenly broke away from the rope and rushed to the dozen soldiers who were escorted. It turned out that the knots on these dead soldiers were all buckles, all for the purpose of numbing the soldiers.

These dead soldiers in the army crawled out of the pile of dead people, and it was easy to deal with these unwarranted soldiers. In a few breaths, more than a dozen soldiers lost their lives.

A dead soldier touched the key from a soldier, tried a few times, and opened the cell. The movement inside had attracted the attention of the guards, and there were constant shouts outside, as if summoning soldiers.

With such neatness, Cheng Jian rushed in happily, "Governor Gao, His Highness the King of Wei has sent someone to save us!"

"Really?" Gao Quan and the county magistrates all stood up, and Gao Yuanzhi said: "If the heavens do not destroy my Gao clan!"

At this time, the dead soldier spoke, "Changshi Cheng, are they all here? Are there any missing?"

Gao Quan rushed to say, "No more, everyone is here!"

Several dead soldiers looked at each other, nodded, picked up the weapons of the mansion soldiers, rushed towards Gao Quan, Cheng Jian and others. Suddenly, the screams before death sounded again in prison.

After completing the task quickly, a dead soldier picked up the torch on the wall and threw it into the cell covered with weeds. This was the signal they agreed with Chai Lingwu. After completing the task, the cell was burned and smoke was lit to notify him.

Outside the cell, hundreds of soldiers gathered quickly and began to fight with the dead soldiers at the door. Chai Lingwu did not send all the dead soldiers here. There were only fifty dead soldiers out of the hundred people, and the others were from some Cheng clan members.

Although the dead soldiers were extremely brave, they were no match for the soldiers who formed a battle formation and were all blocked in the prison.

The fire became bigger and bigger, and the dead soldiers at the door kept falling down, and they were almost unable to hold back. The dead soldiers in the prison had a knife on each official's body. After confirming that there was no living person, he placed the knife on his neck, pulled it hard, and blood splattered three feet away.

The officials lying on the ground all died with fear and opened their eyes open. How did they think that the plan Chai Lingwu gave them was actually a complete conspiracy, a conspiracy that led them to death.

The thick smoke began to float from the cell to the sky and rose vertically into the sky, allowing the entire Yizhou City to see. On the city tower, Qin Huaiyu was shocked when the direction of the smoke was floating. He was about to lead his troops. The Cheng clan members who had just cried and robbed the earth outside the city suddenly shouted and rushed towards the city gate. Behind them, more people with various weapons appeared, densely filled with mountains and fields.

Qin Huaiyu looked at these people and understood that he had been fooled by Cheng Jian. He was anxious and annoyed and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Chai Lingwu in the dense forest looked at the corner of the black smoke in the city and smiled. This time the mission was completed. As for these stupid people from the five tribes, let them fight to the death with Li Yan.

"General Chai, our people have already rushed forward, where are your soldiers?" The five tribesmen had already rushed to the city gate, and people kept falling down under the trap. Gao Quan's father felt distressed and asked.

"My soldiers? Aren't they all behind me?"

"Where are there? Aren't these fifty people?"

"Yes, there are only fifty!"

Gao Quan's father changed his color, "General Chai, what do you mean? Didn't you say there are two thousand men?"

"Of course that's a lie to you!"

"You...you..." The clan leader of the fifth clan and the manager looked at Chai Lingwu angrily, while Chai Lingwu looked leisurely and smiled cruelly: "It's time to send you to the road, kill!"

The dead soldiers pulled out their weapons after hearing this. These people were older in the clan, and some even needed help when walking. The dead soldiers did not have much effort to deal with these people. They killed all of them like chopping melons and vegetables. The five tribesmen who rushed towards Yizhou City still staunchly attacked the city gate, not knowing that all the venerables in their clan fell in a pool of blood.

Looking at the densely packed five tribes under the city, Qin Huaiyu also felt a little numb. After all, it was his first time to command such a guard battle.

There are four city gates in Yizhou City. The soldiers of the palace were scattered, and there were not many people in one city gate. The patrol occupied some of the palace soldiers, so there were only four hundred people on this city gate. He had already asked the soldiers of other city gates to support here, but in the face of the impact of so many people, I don’t know how long the city gate can last.
