Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

As Qin Ming's troops entered Xingjia Pass, thousands of soldiers took the initiative to open the city gates and weaved their way through the nearly 50,000-strong Yan army.

Their combat capability is strong, and combined with the bulletproof vests that have been improved to the third generation, they have reduced combat losses to an extremely low level.

After only three rounds of fighting, Fei Yuanheng's troops were completely defeated!

A misty drizzle fell from the sky, dripping onto the ground and raising clouds of water mist.

Fei Yuanheng sat on the ground helplessly. At this moment, there was no way to break the deadlock. He muttered to himself with a gloomy face:

"How could this be? Is it God's will to destroy us..."

When he suffered a defeat on the battlefield in the rear, Yan Wujiang, who was outside the dock, also faced a great threat.

Originally, the ironclad ship was Qin Ming's trump card.

Yan Wujiang’s tactical plan was to use all means to control Qin Ming’s armored ship, and preferably destroy it.

But when their plan was halfway through, the appearance of Cao Chuan brought them a huge change.

Countless subsequent ships appeared out of thin air.

In just half an hour, Yan Wujiang was beaten back step by step by them.

"Your Highness, retreat!"

The defeat was so severe that it was visible to the naked eye.

Dozens of generals came to Yan Wujiang to ask for orders.

Yan Wujiang doesn't want to live, but they still want to live!

"you……"

Yan Wujiang’s last advantage is Jiaguan.

But with the arrival of Cao Chuan, Xingjiaguan was completely controlled by the enemy.

This meant that if he retreated, he could only retreat to the last line of defense in the east.

"go!"

Before Yan Wujiang could hesitate, several generals rushed forward and pulled down the general's flag on the bow of the ship!

Then he began to swing vigorously!

"Withdraw!"

"Great, retreat quickly!"

The various troops, who had long since stopped fighting, abandoned the battlefield and fled madly the moment they saw the signal.

Some soldiers who had no time to row their boats and were eager to retreat even jumped directly into the surging river, fearing that the Daqian troops behind them would catch up with them.

Seeing this scene, Yan Wujiang felt mixed emotions and couldn't say a word.

At this time, Qin Ming had dispersed his troops and guarded the various entrances to Xingjia Pass.

Yan Wujiang has failed.

From the moment he lost Yanjiang, there was no way for him to recover!

"Don't kill, seize the dock!"

Chenpi reacted quickly. Looking at the troops still chasing in the water, he roared, jumped off in one step, boarded a speedboat, and paddled towards the other side!

Later, more soldiers also reacted.

They abandoned the Yan army that was still fleeing frantically for their lives, quickly rushed to the dock on the opposite bank, and then completely occupied it.

“We won…we won!”

When Chenpi entered the dock and faced the crowded crowd, he felt like he was dreaming.

There are only three tough spots in the east.

Except for the military fortress close to the imperial city, the two military fortresses in front that dominate the entire defense line have been captured by Qin Ming.

From now on, they will be a sword hanging over the heads of the Yan Dynasty royal family!

This war has come to a successful conclusion!

"Your Majesty, we won!"

Inside the city, Cao Chuan and Chang Baishan also noticed the situation outside and were both extremely excited.

Qin Ming looked at the fleeing troops in the distance very calmly and said:

"Chase them again. Don't kill too many people. Force them to retreat. Try to stay away from Xingjia Pass."

After taking over Xingjiaguan, Qin Ming naturally had to reorganize the place.

If Yan Wujiang's troops were too close to this place and were thinking about me all day long, it would affect their retreat.

"Yes!"

Chang Baishan and Cao Chuan nodded immediately and led their troops to chase after them.

Yan Wujiang and Fei Yuanheng, who were originally fleeing, had completely given up on Xingjiaguan and were walking around the location of Xingjiaguan, just hoping to escape and survive.

But even so, the other party seemed unwilling to let them go.

After seeing Qin Ming's troops open the city gate and rush out again.

Be it Yan Wujiang or the troops under his command, they all trembled in their hearts!

"Where to go!"

Chang Baishan and Cao Chuan each led a group of troops to surround the enemy from the left and right sides, and fought very hard!

Over the past few days, Yan Wujiang has had a huge impact on the Daqian army.

Now is the time for revenge.

Although Qin Ming told them that they just needed to scare the people away, but once on the battlefield, who would know how to use their strength?

In this way, nearly 100,000 Daqian troops joined the formation to block the fleeing Yan army and fought for a full seven days!

During these seven days, Yan Wujiang's troops were broken up to the point where they were difficult to reorganize.

The original team of a thousand people became a team of a hundred people, and finally a team of a few people.

Some scattered soldiers even turned around and hid in the mountains.

Yan Wujiang, who finally led his troops away, counted the troops and found that only a few thousand were left of his large army of hundreds of thousands.

The rest are all missing!

This means that all his years of business have come to nothing.

I'm afraid the future fight for the throne will have nothing to do with him.

After the thrilling chase, Cao Chuan, Chen Pi and Chang Baishan all returned to Xingjia Pass.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

As soon as they met, the three of them knelt down in unison.

"You still know about coming back?"

Qin Ming glared at them. His order was to disperse the enemy.

The three of them were so good that they directly expanded the territory of more than ten miles.

All the local nobles and gentry who were unwilling to surrender were tied up and taken to the military camp, and their property was also taken away.

This operation made Qin Ming's troops earn a lot of money in one go, with a surplus of more than 700,000 taels of silver on the books.

The three of them knew they were in the wrong, and this could be considered as compensation for Qin Ming.

Therefore, Qin Ming did not blame them too much. After symbolically fining them one month's salary, he called Cao Chuan out.

"Lao Cao, come here."

"Yes!"

The two walked out of Xingjiaguan and came to the Yanjiang River.

The dock here that was damaged by the fighting has been restored.

There is no scene of thousands of ships passing by the sunken boat in the river channels upstream and downstream as in the past.

This was mainly because of the war between Qin Ming and Yan Wujiang, which made many merchants who wanted to do business in Yanjiang dare not come here, for fear of being implicated in the war.

But after Qin Ming came here, the trade route must be open.

This is almost the main artery of inland shipping in the Yan Dynasty.

If they could control Xingjiaguan, the wealth they would bring in would be incomparable to how many nobles Chang Baishan and his men could rob.

So while they were chasing outside, Qin Ming had already cleared all the upstream and downstream routes.

"This place needs someone to guard it for a while. I will tell you how to arrange it. This task is yours."

Qin Ming patted Cao Chuan's shoulder and spoke slowly.

Cao Chuan asked hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, although Xingjiaguan is under our control, the people upstream and downstream are still from the Yan Dynasty. If they try to obstruct us, won't we..."

Cao Chuan's concerns are justified.

Qin Ming was too bold and dared to do business blatantly in the heartland of Yan Dynasty.

Once someone with ulterior motives takes action, the losses will be enormous.

They had experienced this before on previous voyages.

However, Qin Ming was very clear-headed. Facing Cao Chuan, who was full of doubts, he said calmly:

"You're wrong. They would never do that. Just because they don't want Xingjiaguan to do business, are they going to give up all the businesses upstream and downstream of the Yanjiang River?"
