Chapter 195: Jiang Chen vs. Prince An, Head-on Confrontation

Looking at the flames rising into the sky, Prince An was overjoyed.
In his opinion, this was a sign that Prime Minister Huo had succeeded!
After burning the granary of the imperial capital’s defenders, the next step was to capture the city gate.
As long as we capture the city gate, Prince An will lead the army to attack from both inside and outside, and the gate of the imperial capital will be within our grasp!
Thinking of this, King An hurriedly put on his helmet and armor and led his 50,000 troops straight to the west gate.
Looking at Prince An's army gradually approaching the city, Du Mingyu swallowed his saliva.
"My Lord, can our plan really work?"
"Don't worry, Commander Du. Didn't you see that Prince An has personally led his troops here?"
Facing Du Mingyu's worries, Jiang Chen smiled and said nonchalantly.
Although I couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness.
But Prince An's flag was indeed flying in the oncoming army of 50,000!
Seeing Jiang Chen was so confident, Du Mingyu had no choice but to shut his mouth and watch quietly.
In the entire west city gate, there were only Jiang Chen's 10,000 Green Camp soldiers and Du Mingyu's 10,000 Blue Camp soldiers.
Jiang Chen also specially mobilized all 30,000 imperial guards and hid them all in the darkness.
Just wait for Prince An’s army to arrive, then close the door and beat the dog!
As everyone waited patiently, King An finally arrived at the city gate with an army of 50,000.
"Where's Prime Minister Huo!?"
"Tell him to come and see the king as soon as possible!"
Looking at the only 500 defenders in night clothes on the top of the city, King An shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. General Huo has gone to investigate the enemy forces in the city."
"You haven't come back yet, so you should go into the city first."
As he spoke, Wang Ergou led several soldiers from the Qing Camp, who were disguised as subordinates of Prime Minister Huo, down the city wall and stood guard at the gate to welcome Prince An into the city.
After listening to Wang Ergou's explanation, Prince An frowned.
Obviously, Prince An was very unhappy about Prime Minister Huo's going to investigate the news.
Prince An has always enjoyed the feeling of controlling others, and he hates it when his subordinates act on their own.
And now is the critical moment for attacking the imperial capital.
However, Huo Yuan took the initiative to hand over the city gate to an ordinary soldier.
How could Prince An be happy and pleased?!
"Forget it. I will settle with him after we capture the palace."
Thinking of this, Prince An did not feel anything strange.
So, after hesitating for a long time, Prince An still led his army and followed Wang Ergou into the city gate.
Just after the 50,000-strong army of Prince An entered the city, the city gate was locked tightly!
Looking at the closed city gate, the worry that had just dissipated in Prince An's heart surged up again.
Before Prince An could understand what was happening, the three thousand soldiers from the Qing Camp who were hiding on the city wall stood up.
Then, they all pointed their strong bows at King An and his 50,000 troops.
At the same time, on the streets near the city gate, the remaining soldiers of the Green Camp, the Blue Camp and the 30,000 imperial guards walked out one after another!
Looking at these troops that suddenly appeared, Prince An was stunned.
He, Yu Anguo, was the battle-hardened Prince An, but he actually fell into the trap set by the imperial capital's defenders!
"I actually fell into the trap?!"
"Hahaha, it seems that after not seeing you for so long, Your Majesty has regressed a bit!"
As this familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded, Jiang Chen, dressed in a Qilin costume, slowly walked out of the darkness.
"I never expected that I would fall into a eunuch's trap..."
Looking at Jiang Chen who came out, Prince An said with a complicated expression.
"However, if you think you can defeat me with a bunch of scumbags like you..."
"Then you guys underestimate this king too much, don't you?!"
Prince An smiled confidently and looked back at the 50,000 troops behind him.
These soldiers who have fought against the Canglang Kingdom for many years have gone through many baptisms of war.
But it is not something that these 50,000 defenders of the imperial capital can easily defeat!
Listening to Prince An's confident words, Jiang Chen waved his hand slowly.
I saw several city-breaking crossbows being pushed out from the top of the city wall!
The defenders under the city directly launched two catapults.
"If there is no preparation, I dare not let you in."
Seeing that everything was in place, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and looked at Prince An.
Sure enough, after seeing these weapons of war, Prince An's originally calm smile disappeared in an instant.
"Good, very good. It has been many years since I have met an opponent like you."
"It seems that today, I will go on a killing spree again!"
"All troops, listen up and prepare to attack."
Following King An's order, 50,000 soldiers drew their swords, raised their spears, and prepared to charge.
"Since His Royal Highness Prince An is determined to fight against the imperial court, then I will not be polite."
"Stop talking nonsense, it's still unclear who will live and who will die!"
After saying that, Prince An rode out on his horse, holding a spear in his hand, and stabbed straight at Jiang Chen.
"kill!"
When the generals saw Prince An rushing out, they all followed him and rushed forward.
Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out throughout the imperial capital!
Looking at Prince An’s army getting closer and closer, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"put!!"
The next second, countless arrows, catapults, and crossbows fell directly on King An's army.
"boom--"
As huge rocks fell into the formation of Prince An's army, countless soldiers of Prince An's army were turned into meat paste.
The crossbows on the top of the city were like the scythes of the god of death. Every time a crossbow arrow was fired, it could instantly take away the lives of some of King An's soldiers.
Under the continuous onslaught of city-breaking crossbows and catapults, King An's army soon lost thousands of soldiers.
Under the suppression of these two weapons of war, the morale of Prince An's army instantly fell to the bottom.
Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"Blue Camp, Blue Camp, Imperial Guards, everyone, attack me!"
As Jiang Chen's voice resounded in the night sky, the three armies that had been waiting for a long time rushed out.
They collided violently head-on with Prince An’s army!
In an instant, countless swords flashed by, splashing blood...
Under the protection of city-breaking crossbows and catapults, as well as archers on the city walls, the morale of the three armies reached its peak.
Although they were unable to completely resist the battle-hardened army of Prince An, they still managed to kill quite a few of the opposing forces.
As his own soldiers became fewer and fewer, one after another fell in a pool of blood.
Several generals under Prince An became anxious. They could die here, but Prince An could not!
If King An died here, there would be no need for them to live in this world.
So, several generals stepped forward and stopped King An.
"Your Majesty, you can't stay here anymore, you must leave the city now !"
