#1104 - Chapter 1104: Yanchun is defeated and captured
"Alright, I'll give you all of my and Yan Dong's territories. That way, your strength will surpass Yan Chun's. When that time comes, we'll fight him to the death!" Yan Qiu suggested.
"No, not for now. Just listen to my orders and cooperate with my actions. Let's keep our cooperation a secret for the time being," Yan Xia shook his head.
"I see, that's fine too!" Yan Qiu didn't force the issue.
This idea suited him perfectly.
2 months later.
Year 1288 Before Nata Era of Blue Star, November.
Marquis Yan Dang passed away from illness.
According to Marquis Yan Dang's instructions before his death, the position of leader was passed on to his eldest son, Yan Chun.
Yan Xia led his warriors into a direct battle with Yan Chun.
"Yan Xia! You bastard! I always thought you were an honest and dutiful younger brother, but I never expected you to do such a rebellious thing!" Yan Chun shouted angrily from atop his dung beetle mount.
"Brother, your temperament is tyrannical and will harm the people of Yan Di. Therefore, I cannot let you take over the position of leader," Yan Xia shouted.
"What makes you think I would harm the people of Yan Di? I think you just want to engage in fratricide and fight for the position of leader, right?" Yan Chun shouted.
"When it comes to fratricide, who can compare to you? I heard from our third and fourth brothers that you have publicly declared more than once that you would kill all of us brothers after obtaining the position of leader. Tell me, how can we support a brother like you?" Yan Xia retorted.
"Nonsense! I never said such a thing!" Yan Chun denied.
"Whether you said it or not doesn't matter, the world will judge. Now, enough nonsense, let's fight to the death!" Yan Xia shouted.
"Charge!"
"Huh!"
The warriors from both sides engaged in a chaotic melee, the scene was extremely chaotic.
At the same time, Yan Xia had already ordered Yan Qiu to lead about 2,000 warriors from his and Yan Dong's territories to launch a sneak attack from Yan Chun's rear.
And Yan Dong, according to Cheng Bang's instructions, did not launch an attack in a timely manner after the two sides began to fight. Instead, he hid in a concealed place, waiting for the battle to enter its final stages.
Yan Xia and Yan Chun's forces were about the same size, and in a head-on collision, the probability was high that both sides would suffer heavy losses.
"What on earth is Yan Qiu doing? Why hasn't he launched an attack yet? If this continues, my warriors will all die!" Yan Xia stood at the front, anxiously looking at the situation on Yan Chun's side.
He waited and waited, but there was still no movement.
"Could it be that this kid ran away in fright?" He speculated inwardly.
"Alas! I shouldn't have entrusted such a difficult task to him!" Yan Xia watched his warriors fall one after another, as if his heart was bleeding.
But now that the two armies were facing each other, he had no way to retreat.
Even if he had to grit his teeth, he would have to finish this battle.
The battle between the two sides lasted from morning until dusk.
The entire battlefield was covered with corpses.
Countless warriors died.
Even the survivors were extremely exhausted.
"Alright, Yan Dong, now is the time," Cheng Bang issued the order.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Yan Dong issued the order to the wizard.
Next, the wizard controlled Yan Qiu to issue a combat order:
"Warriors, now is the time for us to take action. Everyone listen to the order, target, Yan Chun, everyone charge!"
After Yan Qiu issued the order, the warriors rushed out in a swarm.
Yan Chun suddenly heard someone charging from behind and looked back in panic.
"Yan Qiu! What are you doing?" Yan Chun shouted.
"Brother, didn't you want to kill me? Now, I'm here. If you have the ability, then kill me!" Yan Qiu shouted.
"Bastard! How dare you use such a despicable method to sneak attack me! See how I deal with you!"
"Men, charge over there and cut off his head!" Yan Chun shouted.
After he issued his order, no one responded.
Because it was obvious that the situation was over.
Yan Chun only had a dozen or so people around him now, while Yan Qiu had nearly two thousand people. The two sides were not on the same level at all, and there was no way to fight.
On the opposite side of the battlefield, Yan Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yan Qiu appear.
Although Yan Qiu was late, causing him to suffer heavy losses, at least he showed up and didn't become a cowardly turtle.
As long as this battle could be won, everything else was a minor matter.
On the battlefield, Yan Chun's warriors were all panicked after seeing their commander being attacked.
The balance of the battle began to tilt, and Yan Xia's warriors began to regain their fighting spirit, using their last bit of strength to launch a counterattack.
Yan Chun's warriors had nowhere to escape and knelt on the ground one after another, raising their hands in surrender.
Yan Qiu did not immediately kill Yan Chun, but instead captured him and sent him to Yan Xia.
"Second Brother, I have captured Yan Chun for you!" Yan Qiu shouted.
