Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 745: Four-sided blockade, spreading gold to clear the way

"What Cao Chuan said just now is a very good method. If we want to fight, then we should open all four walls."

Qin Ming's method is more violent than what Cao Chuan said.

If they only open one wall, they can only let the troops in through three layers.

But if the walls on all sides are opened, the situation will be different.

Their troops can enter from multiple directions at the same time. By then, no matter how strong Zuo Hu is, he will be unable to turn the tide. Even the retreat of Emperor Yan and his men will be difficult.

As Qin Ming's order was issued, the surrounding troops immediately dispersed again. This time, they carried heavy artillery and fired directly at the city walls. The city walls on all sides were severely damaged. Zuo Hu, who had been waiting inside the city, saw this scene and hesitated.

"General, our first wall is about to be shattered into pieces."

Zuo Hu was extremely confused by his subordinates' report.

At this time, he was standing on the second city wall, watching the enemy's artillery fire continue to bombard him.

The city wall in front of them had already developed spider-web-like cracks.

This crack is still spreading gradually, and it is obvious that if we wait a little longer, the first wall will collapse.

Ye Shoujiang had made a lot of preparations, but in front of Zuo Hu, he felt confident that he could withstand it.

After the actual battle, Zuo Hu always thought so.

But the other party suddenly changed and became extremely terrifying.

Even using gunpowder against them at all costs.

If the fighting continues like this, it is very likely that the entire wall of the imperial city will collapse.

If they come from all directions, how can he take Emperor Yan away?

Thinking of this, Zuo Hu suddenly didn't want to waste time anymore.

"Go inform His Majesty that it's time to leave."

"Yes!"

When they heard this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, many people now understood why they were fighting here. It was purely because Emperor Yan wanted to lose the battle as soon as possible.

But this requires them to pay with their lives, which is very unfair.

Some soldiers in the troops did not have much desire to fight.

Almost everyone thinks this way, except for those extremely loyal special forces.

The news was soon delivered to Emperor Yan. When he saw this scene, his face changed.

"What do you mean? We've only been fighting for less than a whole morning, and you're planning to let me leave."

"Your Majesty, the general said that if we don't leave now, it will be too late to leave after all four walls collapse."

"It's very likely that we won't be able to evacuate. Your Majesty, please reconsider."

I heard that all the city walls on all sides would collapse and I might not even be able to escape.

At this moment, the Emperor of Yan, who was about to explode with anger, immediately stopped.

Although it is important to save face, it is not worth it if you lose your life because of something like this.

After thinking of this, he immediately stood up and prepared to ask people to leave.

"Go and inform those ministers to bring their families and go with me."

When he said this, a cruel look flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.

In order to maintain his rule, he deliberately kept the families of those high-ranking officials in the imperial city.

The purpose was to be able to add another bargaining chip to threaten the Hong family before landing there.

Otherwise, if these guys rebel, I will be controlled by them.

However, after hearing his order, the faces of several men present were a little hesitant. They stammered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He didn't even go down to carry out the order.

See their expressions.

Emperor Yan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Why don't you go?"

"Your Majesty, we have just received news that officials at all levels have left the Imperial City."

"What!? How did they leave? Why did they leave?"

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Yan became furious. He slammed the table angrily and questioned his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, it seems they took the opportunity to clear the road to the north and secretly evacuated from the Imperial City."

Emperor Yan never thought that no one was willing to play with Qin Ming from the beginning to the end.

After thinking about this, he suddenly felt like a failure.

But fortunately, I was able to catch up with those guys.

As long as his large army can preserve its strength, he will have the final say after heading north.

"Hurry up! Tell Zuo Hu to leave!"

Now there was no need for anyone to urge him, as Emperor Yan knew on his own that he had to run away quickly.

In just half an hour, he had packed all his things.

More than thirty carriages set off towards the north gate.

At this time, Zuo Hu also rushed over with his men. He rushed to Emperor Yan with an anxious look on his face and reported the latest situation to him.

"Your Majesty, all his men have gathered at the north gate. We cannot go through the north gate. We must go through the west gate."

"But I have so many things still in the back. If I move them there, I might not have enough time."

Emperor Yan looked back at the huge carriage and spoke in panic.

"I'll help you preserve some of it, but we need to give up some of it."

As he spoke, Zuo Hu rushed directly to the back, carried some gold and silver jewelry on his shoulders, and rushed to the front.

When seeing this scene, Emperor Yan didn't know what he was going to do, but soon he was stunned.

Because Zuo Hu, who was rushing in the front, actually tore open all the bags of gold and silver.

Then it was swung into the air.

The troops that were originally going to attack them were also stopped by gold, silver and treasures at this time.

Zuo Hu forced a path out of him.

"My money! My money!"

Emperor Yan clenched his fists and looked ahead with anger in his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Yan's heart was bleeding.

Any piece of gold that the other party snatched away was like cutting into his flesh!

But at this moment he didn't dare to attack.

Because he knew that if he didn't leave this money to buy his life, he would most likely die here.

After learning about this situation, even he could only grit his teeth and watch the wealth he had accumulated over the years being squandered.

But Zuo Hu still took some care of him.

When breaking out of the siege, they took some effort to save several carts of treasure for him.

But just these few cars reduced Emperor Yan's wealth by half.

Looking at the still chaotic crowd behind him, Emperor Yan breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least they had escaped.

Where there is life, there is hope.

"Your Majesty, should we go and join them first, or head north first?"

After rushing out of the crowd, Zuo Hulike asked Emperor Yan.

"How many of us are there?"

"There's still more than half."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

He already knew how to make up for his lost wealth.

"Go after those officials who left early first."
