Chapter 196: The Defeat of Prince An

Escorted by his trusted aides and personal guards, Prince An finally reached the city gate.

Looking at Prince An and his entourage fighting their way through the Blue Camp's army, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a breath!

The guards beside Prince An were like sharp swords, chopping down countless Blue Camp soldiers to the ground.

However, even if these people protected King An and reached the city gate, they achieved their goal.

But at the same time, facing two of the five battalions of the Northern Army, which were considered the elite of the Xia State, they also lost most of their troops.

"Soldiers, listen to me carefully."

"Whoever captures His Royal Highness Prince An will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver!"

In order to boost the morale of his soldiers , Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

Obviously, in Jiang Chen's opinion, according to the current situation, Prince An is already trapped.

There were countless archers with bows and arrows on the top of the city. It would be absolutely impossible for King An and others to break through the city gate.

He, Jiang Chen, is going to capture Prince An alive today!

After hearing Jiang Chen's reward, countless soldiers from the Qing Camp worked even harder and ran towards Prince An, who was protected by his personal guards.

Looking at the enemy troops rushing in like a tide, Prince An suddenly became a little panicked.

For the battle-hardened Prince An, he has seen all kinds of storms and waves!

However, he still fell into the trap that Jiang Chen had planned in advance.

Thinking of this, Prince An became even angrier, and he wanted to rush forward with his sword in hand and chop Jiang Chen to the ground.

As if he sensed Prince An's anger, Jiang Chen smiled indifferently and looked at Prince An who was protected by his personal guards behind him.

The two of them looked at each other in mid-air across the armies that were fighting each other.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was not disappointed. "With a large sum of money, there must be a strong man!"

After hearing that there would be a huge reward for capturing Prince An, the soldiers of the Qingzi Camp, who were originally prisoners, became like chickens with their blood pumped up, and displayed endless fighting power!

Under the efforts of the soldiers of the Green Camp and their role as role models, the Blue Camp, under the leadership of Du Mingyu, also burst out with tremendous combat power.

The army formation of Prince An, which could originally hold out for a while, was instantly torn apart by the Blue Camp and the Green Camp.

Faced with this battle situation, Prince An and the two generals beside him were stunned for a moment.

You know, the 50,000 soldiers brought by King An are elite troops who have fought countless bloody battles with the Canglang Kingdom!

But now, they were beaten into this state by the five battalions of 20,000 Northern Army!

Seeing Han Zhong leading his troops and charging towards him, Prince An was suddenly shocked, and his anger towards Jiang Chen disappeared in an instant.

While Prince An was feeling anxious, the two generals beside him gritted their teeth and spoke loudly to the guards.

"Hurry up and escort the prince out. Leave this place to the two of us!"

"Your Majesty, I will go first."

After saying that, the two generals each led a team of soldiers and rushed towards Han Zhong, blocking the offensive of the Green Camp and the Blue Camp.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who had witnessed everything, frowned as he watched Prince An's personal guards begin to open the city gate.

" Prince An, Prince An, if it weren't for the situation, I really wouldn't want to let you go!"

Just like that, when the 50,000 troops of Prince An were almost wiped out, Prince An's personal guards successfully opened the city gate and escorted Prince An to escape.

At this point, the night attack finally came to an end!

Under the escort of a group of personal guards, Prince An finally managed to escape back to the camp.

Of the 50,000 troops that set out at the start, only about 20,000 were left after they were gradually gathered together.

In this one night battle alone, most of Prince An's troops were killed in an ambush!

The army of Prince An, which was once said to have 140,000 soldiers, now only has more than 20,000 soldiers of Prince An, who are fighting against the 50,000 reinforcements of the Canglang Kingdom, and a total of 40,000 soldiers from various tribes who have defected to Prince An.

After these days of attack on the imperial capital, the 40,000-strong army was either killed or injured, and now there are only about 30,000 left.

It can be said that except for the 50,000 troops of the Canglang Kingdom, the force in King An's hands is only about 50,000 people left!

This result means that King An has completely lost the opportunity to sit on the throne and rule the world.

After being schemed against by Jiang Chen, Prince An became even more depressed. He stayed in his tent all day drinking and worrying.

After learning this news, Jiang Chen completely lost interest in Prince An.

Originally, he thought that King An, who was so ruthless as to exchange ten cities and civilians of Xia Kingdom for the help of Canglang Kingdom, was a man of great character.

But he didn't expect that after he defeated King An, he would completely give up on himself!

King An, who once led the soldiers of the Western Border to fight against the Canglang Kingdom for many years, has become a useless man.

However, although Prince An fell into decadence, the several generals who protected him and helped him escape from the imperial capital were still full of hope for him.

Seeing that Prince An had lost his fighting spirit, several generals directly pushed his eldest son to the throne.

I have to say that Prince An’s eldest son has quite a bit of Prince An’s demeanor when he was young!

On the first day of taking charge of the military power, the trusted commander of Prince An's army directly led his troops to rob the granaries of three states and counties near the imperial capital.

This time, the food and grass problem of Prince An’s army was completely solved.

Not only that, the young prince also mobilized 20,000 troops from the western border.

This series of actions made Jiang Chen realize that this young prince was much stronger than his father.

After putting away the information in his hand, Jiang Chen came to the palace.

At this time in the imperial study, the Regent He Jin, wearing a dragon robe, was hugging two beauties and comfortably enjoying the fruits brought to his mouth by the beauties.

"Your Majesty, General Pingyuan requests to see you!"

Just after the Regent swallowed a grape , Su Dingxia walked in respectfully.

"Jiang Chen is here?"

"Then let him in. It just so happens that I haven't rewarded him for the great victory last time, so let's just reward him today!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingxia turned around and retreated.

Not long after, Su Dingxia came in with Jiang Chen.

"General Jiang Chen pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the room, he knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed several times to the Regent.

"Hahahaha, Jiang Chen, get up quickly!"

"You are my trusted and beloved general. You don't need to perform such a great ceremony in the future."

Looking at Jiang Chen's respectful attitude towards him, the Regent nodded with satisfaction.
