ps: Today's fifth update, there are two more chapters, but it will be a little later.

September 16th.

After five days of march, King Huainan and Cui Shang'an led 100,000 Huainan soldiers to the camp at Yingcheng.

After three days of preparation, Cui Shang'an ordered artillery troops to launch artillery bombardment on Yingzhou City, and for a while, Yingzhou City was in chaos.

"A cannon, it's another cannon. How could King Huainan have cannons? This must be done by Xiao Ming, it must be him."

The King of Yan was furious in the temporary palace. The reason why he was so confident in Yingzhou City was that sixty cannons were installed in the city, which were part of his purchase of cannons from Qingzhou.

It was because he was confident that the power of these artillery guarding the city that he sneered at the King of Huainan because he believed that his artillery would definitely defeat the King of Huainan's army.

But now everything is beyond his expected range. The King of Huainan not only has artillery, but also the range of artillery is far above the artillery in Yingzhou City.

Now Yingzhou City can only be bombarded by the King of Huainan artillery for nothing, but he cannot use the artillery to fight back, which made him extremely furious.

It was then that he realized that he had been deceived by Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming did not sell the real artillery to them from beginning to end.

"Father, if this continues, our city wall will collapse." Cui Cheng's voice was a little difficult.

Ten thousand people besieged the city, and densely packed soldiers surrounded Yingzhou City. Now they can't fight or escape.

"So what if it collapses? How could my soldiers be born on the city wall?" King Yan suddenly pulled out his sword at this time, "This time I will lead my army to fight to the death with the King of Huainan."

After saying that, the King of Yan took a big stride towards the Nancheng, which was the key area for the King of Huainan attack.

Cui Cheng and Cui Hao did not rush up with the King of Chu this time. Cui Cheng looked at Cui Hao and said, "Now the rich people in the city have a different intention. They will never fight against the King of Huainan with us. The father did not listen to the advice and praised Xiao Ming. What should we do now?"

Cui Hao looked desperate, and he said, "I have been in Qingzhou for more than a month. From what I saw and heard, I still expected that the three kings' coalition might be defeated. But I never thought that the defeat was so thorough now. Now that Xiao Ming is in great power, Yan State will definitely be at the brunt of it."

"What's the use of mentioning this matter now? I only ask if Xiao Ming had told you when you were in Qingzhou, how could he spare Yan State?" Cui Cheng said anxiously.

"Before my brother Yu left, Xiao Ming did ask Pang Yukun to tell me about this. He said that unless the King of Yan apologized for guilt and voluntarily gave up the title of king and vassal state, he would not let Yan State go." Cui Hao said.

Cui Cheng was silent when he heard this. In his opinion, this matter was impossible. He sighed deeply and pulled out his sword to chase King Yan.

Seeing Cui Cheng leave, Cui Hao turned around and walked in the opposite direction. When Xiao Ming ascended the throne, he saw that the coalition of the Three Kings might have achieved nothing.

Pang Yukun did say that to him, but he also mentioned that if he was willing to help him, he would protect him from his wealth in the future.

He was just the second son of the King of Yan. For him, the land of the fiefdom would not belong to him anyway. In this situation, he was more worried about his life, not what happened to Yan.

After leaving the temporary palace, Cui Hao walked straight into an alley. When he arrived at a house, he knocked six times, and the door was opened.

At this time, some wealthy families gathered in the yard. These wealthy families were all those who opposed the continued battle with Huainan. After all, the outcome is decided now, and not everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives with the King of Yan.

"Criminal, when will the army be launched?" asked a patriarch of the noble clan.

"The father has already climbed the city and is waiting for the King of Huainan to collapse the city wall. At this time, the city will inevitably be in chaos. Then it is the time for us to rise up." Cui Hao's eyes flashed.

He thought to himself: Father, don’t blame me for being unkind when you treat me unkindly. My elder brother enjoys all the melting in Yan State, but you sent me to Qingzhou to suffer.

When the rich clans heard this, they nodded one after another, waiting for the city to break out.

Outside the city, fifty artillery gunfires continuously at the south city gate. The fragile southern city walls continued to appear deep pits under the cannons. These pits continued to expand until the entire city gate collapsed with a "boom".

"Father, the city wall has fallen." Cui Shangan said in surprise, and he immediately prepared to lead his troops into the city.

"Slow! Now is not the time." The King of Huainan looked at the collapsed city gate on the east side of the main gate, and then looked to the west side. At this time, the artillery at the west side of the city gate was still intact. He said: "Now the artillery is concentrated to bombard the western city wall. Once the city wall collapses, the city will immediately attack."

Cui Shangan looked at Xicheng at this time and realized something. He said, "The cannons given by the emperor are really amazing. The cannons of King Yan cannot hit us at all, but we have been hit by us."

The King of Huainan looked gloomy and said, "This is the power of the emperor. He has long been wary of us vassal kings, so he sold some inferior artillery to King Yan, King Liang, King Zhao and others."

"Has the emperor seen a great chaos in the Great Chongqing Congress long ago?" Cui Shangan said in surprise.

The King of Huainan said: "Who can know this? But this alone is enough to see that our emperor is not a simple character."

While the two were talking, the city walls of Xicheng collapsed under the shelling. At this time, the King of Huainan and Cui Shang'an were shocked at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield. The soldiers of the Huainan Army, whose morale was greatly boosted, rushed towards Yingzhou City.

In Yingzhou City, the King of Yan and his personal guards hurriedly avoided the collapsed city wall. Through the collapsed city wall, he saw soldiers rushing towards Yingzhou City like a tide.

King Yan's eyes were bloody, and he held the sword and shouted: "Soldiers, fight to the death with me and the enemy to the end."

His voice fell, and except for the personal guards shouting loudly, the other soldiers were insensitive, and some of the strong men who had just been pulled into the army were even scared and trembled all over.

When have they seen a powerful weapon like artillery, not to mention that they were forced to join the army?

"kill!"

The Huainan army poured in from two collapsed places at the same time, and the well-equipped soldiers immediately fought with the soldiers guarding the city.

Some powerful families who supported the King of Yan also fought with the Huainan army with their troops. For a moment, there were screams and fighting everywhere in the city walls. The bodies of soldiers from both sides continued to fall down on the ground, and blood was flowing on the ground.

The King of Yan led his personal guards to fight in person. Just as he was killing, a loud shout of killing suddenly sounded in the city. A group of heroic tribes with red cloth strips on their foreheads rushed out of the streets and alleys.

It was just that they did not fight in the Huainan army, but instead fought with the Chu army and the powerful tribes that supported him. At this time, the Chu army, which was already morale, collapsed instantly.

At this time, the King of Yan seemed to have lost all his strength. Just as he was stunned, a general of the Huainan army stabbed the sharp sword into the King of Huainan's chest.
