Chapter 350: The Mouse Thrower

"Secret weapon?"

Xiang Yu was stunned, and thought that this Inner Yellow City was so strong, even the most powerful Heavenly Thunder Cannon of his own army could not be broken, and the original Liyang City was the best proof, what other sharp weapons could be broken. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No wonder Duke Liang kept Yuan Tan from killing, it turned out to come in handy at this time." Zhang Liang suddenly smiled, and had already guessed the potter's intentions.

The potter laughed, and then passed down the order, ordering Xiang Yu to gather 30,000 main troops in the south of the city and pose for siege.

In the Liang army's formation, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and 30,000 elite soldiers, under the command of Xiang Yu, set up a formation towards the south of Inner Huangcheng.

In the city, Zhang He had already rushed to the head of the city, looking at the black and oppressive Liang Jun outside the city, his brows were furrowed, and the big gun in his hand was secretly clenched.

"Pottery thief, it took you more than five months to attack Liyang City, and the strength of this Inner Yellow City is only slightly inferior to Liyang, I only have to hold on for ten days, I see how you can attack it." Zhang He's cold face was full of bamboo.

In the south of the city, Xiang Yu's army has finished its formation.

The potter rode into the rear and came to the prisoner car, where Yuan Tan was wearing a cloak and huddled in a corner shivering.

After experiencing the humiliation of being slapped by Fan Xu and the baptism of the people of Liyang, Yuan Tan has completely lost his temper, and he doesn't dare to scold and scream anymore, and he shrinks into this small prison car all day long.

"Yuan Tan, come out and show your old colleagues." The potter said coldly.

Yuan Tan opened his eyes, and when he saw the potter, he didn't dare to scold, but only stared at the potter with a resentful look.

The potter's words made him feel a chill, and he didn't know what was going to happen next, so he huddled tightly in the corner, not daring to move.

The cell door opened, Jing Ke got in, dragged Yuan Tan out like a dead dog.

The pottery merchant sword pointed to the north, "Jing Ke, put our eldest prince Yuan on the opposite floor, and let Zhang He and the soldiers of Yuan take a look at their eldest son's demeanor." ”

Yuan Tan suddenly realized, scarred, ugly face, and immediately swept up deep fear and shame.

Before he could struggle, he was carried up to a building by several soldiers and tied to the topmost torture pillar.

With a creaking sound, the opposite building was pushed forward from the back and pushed to the front of the Inner Yellow City.

Tom tom tom -

The sound of war drums rose to the sky, and the opposite building tied to Yuan Tan was pushed to the Inner Yellow City, and the 30,000 Liang troops followed behind the opposite building, advancing towards the enemy city without hurry or slow.

A moment later, the Liang army approached the enemy city by a hundred paces and entered the range of the enemy's arrows.

Zhang He had already prepared, raised his gun, and shouted: "The crossbowman releases his arrows, blocks the enemy's advance, and shoots me to death!" ”

On the front line of the south gate, more than 1,000 crossbowmen raised strong bows and hard crossbows, aiming at the Liang army outside the city, just waiting for Zhang He's order, and then thousands of arrows were fired.

Zhang He's big gun was slowly raised, his eyes were murderous, and he was ready to swing it when he saw it.

At the critical moment, the deputy general Ma Yan's eyes suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Wait, don't let go of the arrow yet!" ”

"What are you yelling about?" Zhang He glared at him anxiously, "If you don't release the arrows, the enemy army will approach the front of the city." ”

"General Zhang, look, the person who was tied upstairs is not the eldest son!" Mayan pointed ahead.

The eldest son?

Zhang He's body was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at it, swept it carefully, and immediately recognized the ugly face with no ears and nose.

It's not Yuan Tan, who else can it be!

He ...... He's still alive? Zhang He was taken aback, as if he had seen a ghost.

Thousands of enemy troops defending the city on the left and right also recognized Yuan Tan at the same time, and all the soldiers were shocked and shocked, and the crossbowmen were not allowed to open and close the order, so they instinctively put down the bow and crossbow in their hands.

A few hundred steps away, the potters watching the battle couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, and raised their war knives lightly in their hands.

The drums of war intensified abruptly, and the call for siege was issued.

In the front military office, Xiang Yu received an order, and with an order, Li Guang led four thousand archers from the marksman battalion to shoot towards the head of the city one step ahead of the enemy.

Whoosh!

Countless sharp arrows attacked overwhelmingly, and in an instant, the enemy troops at the head of the city shrank under the female wall, and did not dare to show their heads again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Yu scolded the soldiers of the siege team, rushed forward, rushed to the moat generals, and erected the trench bridges one by one.

At this time, Zhang He didn't care about it, and shouted anxiously: "Release the arrows, release the arrows for me, don't let the enemy easily cross the moat." ”

"General Zhang, you can't release arrows, that's the eldest son!" Ma Yan hurriedly persuaded: "If our army releases an arrow, this random arrow has no eyes, if it is the eldest prince who is killed by not having long eyes, if the lord descends to sin, will we not be a capital crime!" ”

Zhang He was suddenly shocked, and his impulsive mind seemed to be poured cold water, and he calmed down in an instant.

He knew that Mayan was right.

Although Yuan Shao was extremely disappointed in Yuan Tan and had given up this useless son, as long as Yuan Tan did not die for a day, he would be the eldest son of the Yuan family for a day.

If Yuan Shao is to blame for the crime of shooting the eldest prince, he will lose his head.

Zhang He was in a dilemma, and could only watch the Liang army calmly erect a moat, and a group of siege soldiers carried a ladder over the moat and calmly approached the city.

That's what the potter wants.

At this moment, Yuan Tan, who was tied upstairs, was extremely annoyed, and he finally understood that the potter kept him alive, not out of kindness, but to use him as a shield.

Thinking that he is the eldest son of the Yuan family, he lost Liyang and put Hebei in danger, and now after becoming a prisoner, he will continue to cause trouble for the Yuan family, "helping" the pottery merchants to attack the Yuan family's city, and he has simply become the first sinner in the fall of the Yuan family.

"Tao thief, you shameless dog thief, you are despicable and shameless-" Yuan Tan, who was ashamed, couldn't help but howl again.

It's a pity that his scolding was drowned out in the earth-shattering drums, and no one could hear it.

Under his cover, the Liang army easily erected the moat bridge, and tens of thousands of Liang soldiers had set up hundreds of ladders and began to climb the city.

The Yuan army finally began to counterattack, blocking the Liang army's ascent to the city with the Muluo stone, but they never dared to use the best weapons such as bows and crossbows to defend the city.

Zhang He didn't dare, Ma Yan didn't dare, and those Yuan soldiers didn't dare, because none of them had the guts to bear the charge of shooting the eldest prince.

Although Yuan Tan was ashamed in his heart, Yuan Jun's scruples made him feel a trace of warmth in his heart, so he thought that Yuan Shao still had feelings for him after all, and he didn't give the order to release the arrows because of the love of flesh and blood.

He didn't know that Yuan Shaoren was not in Neihuang at all, and it was Zhang He who commanded this Yuan army, and the reason why Zhang He didn't dare to release the arrow was not friendship, but fear of responsibility.

Yuan Tan, who was wishful thinking, was moved in his heart, but he also felt deeply guilty, and felt sorry for his father.

Several times, Yuan Tan wanted to roar loudly: "Shoot me arrows!" ”

He would rather be shot to death by his own people than become an accomplice of the potter, and he would no longer have to be humiliated by the potter, and he could also fulfill his integrity with a death.

It's a pity that after several hesitations, he never managed to shout.

The picture of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart kept coming to mind, and every time Yuan Tan wanted to roar out, he was frightened back by the imaginary picture.

In his heart, fear overshadowed his dignity after all.

"I'm not afraid of death, I can't die, I want to live, if I can escape this catastrophe alive, maybe I can take revenge on the pottery thief in the future, I live for revenge, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death......" Yuan Tan continued to comfort himself in his heart, and finally found a reason to live.

Fan Xu, who was watching the formation, said with disdain: "Yuan Tan, this bastard, didn't he keep screaming for death before, now is a good opportunity, as long as he yells a few times and throws arrows at me, why doesn't this mongrel scream again." ”

"If he had the courage to die, he would have committed suicide by biting his tongue a long time ago, and why not stop dying until now, this is his true face."

The pottery merchant sneered, raised his sword and shouted: "The whole army is attacking urgently, before dusk, you must take the Inner Yellow City for me." ”

The order was handed down, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Liang army were in great spirits, all of them were vigorous and vigorous, and they frantically attacked the city.

On the front line in the southwest corner, more than ten soldiers of the Liang Army have climbed to the top of the city, bravely fighting with the panicked enemy soldiers, and launched a fierce close combat.

"General, the enemy has rushed to the city, but I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it." Mayan shouted anxiously.

Zhang He looked at the surging Liang army, looked at the army that was suppressed to the point that he couldn't raise his head, and then looked at Yuan Tan, who was tied upstairs, his face was distorted, and his eyes were deeply embarrassed.

Continue to defend to the death, but can't use a bow and crossbow, can't stop the Liang army's offensive at all, once the city is broken, he and the five thousand defenders will be wiped out.

If he ordered the arrows to be released, Yuan Tan would definitely die in the indiscriminate arrows, and he would have to bear the charge of shooting the eldest prince, but he was afraid that he would still be unable to escape death.

"Yuan Tan, you spineless guy, how can you still survive......"

Zhang He hit the female wall with his fist, gritted his teeth and cursed, hesitated for a moment, and had to say helplessly: "Pass the order, the whole army will abandon the city and retreat from the north." ”

Abandon the city and retreat!

Ma Yan was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "General Zhang, can you think clearly, the lord and the third prince ordered us to defend Neihuang, at least for ten days, and now abandon the city and retreat, if the lord asks the guilt, what should they do?" ”

"It's not that we don't want to keep it, it's that the eldest prince of the pottery merchant is evaluating the shield, we can't keep it, if the lord is to blame, let's move the truth out, otherwise what do you say." Zhang He said with a frown.

Ma Yan had nothing to do, so he had to keep his mouth shut helplessly.

Zhang Hesui decisively gave up the south gate, and when the Liang army did not break the city, he led thousands of remnants of the north general to open the north gate and fled all the way to Ancheng in the north.

Before dusk, the big banner of the word "Liang" has fluttered in the sky above Yecheng on all sides.

The second line of defense of Yecheng, which was not inferior to the city of Liyang, was broken by the Liang army in less than two hours.

The potter climbed to the top of the city, looked at the four non-dancing battle flags, and looked at the soldiers of his own army who entered the city with high spirits, and his young face was full of joy.

"Di, the host wins the Inner Yellow offensive and defensive battle, and obtains a charm value of 0.5, according to the rounding principle, it will not be counted as a charm value, and the host's existing charm value is 80."

I knew it......

In this siege battle, the victory was too easy, and with the urine nature of the system elves, I am afraid that he was reluctant to give charm points, and the result was as he expected.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it, fortunately, Lao Tzu is in a good mood, so I won't care about you in general." The potter smiled generously.

At this time, Yuan Tan had been untied and dragged to him by Jing Ke like a dead dog.
