The next day, Yuan Shang rushed to Ancheng with Yuan Shao's military order, Zhang He and 10,000 soldiers and horses. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This city is already the last line of defense to Yecheng.

On the front line of Yecheng, Yuan Shaoshang left nearly 30,000 main forces, commanded by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two most trusted generals, although he ordered Yuan Shang to take charge of military power, but in fact he did not give up all the power, Yuan Shang could only mobilize Zhang He, a general, and 10,000 Ancheng defenders.

Yuan Shao ignored Yuan Tan's order, and as Yuan Shang was taken to the front line, all the soldiers were shaken, and they were all secretly shaken by Yuan Shao's iron heart.

Two days later, the pottery merchant who captured Neihuang led an army of 70,000 troops, and arrived in a mighty manner, and went down to the village five miles south of Ancheng, forming a threatening trend.

This city is less than 50 miles away from Yecheng, and it can be said that it has penetrated into the hinterland of Jizhou.

In order to resist the attack of the pottery merchants, since the loss of the army in Liyang, Yuan Shao sent a large number of people, and spent a month between Ancheng and Yecheng, building more than 40 large and small barriers, and connecting them with moats, forming a defensive network with a radius of more than 50 miles.

Among these dozens of dock walls, the big ones have 3,500 troops, and the small ones have 7,800 troops, and they are dotted between the entire defense network system.

Ancheng is the key to this defense network, and its solidity is not inferior to that of a fortified city like Liyang.

But the potter had no fear, because he had a killer weapon in his hands.

After the Liang army forced the camp to go down, the potters continued to adopt the same strategy, ordering Xiang Yu to lead 30,000 elite infantry troops to attack, and continued to tie Yuan Dagongzi to the opposite building, which served as his shield for the siege.

In the afternoon, heaven and earth were killed.

In the rumbling drums of war, the 30,000 Liang army, under the command of Xiang Yu, lined up into more than ten military formations, large and small, towards the south gate of Ancheng, rolling and rolling.

In the middle military department, the potter immediately crossed his sword, admiring this siege battle.

At the forefront, on the huge opposite floor, the ugly Yuan Tan was still tied to it, ensuring that every enemy soldier at the head of the city could see it clearly.

"Pottery thief, you despicable and shameless person, if you have a kind, kill me......" Yuan Tan upstairs still scolded the pottery merchant in anger.

Fan Xu once proposed to cut off Yuan Tan's tongue so that this kid could no longer scold, but the potter refused with a smile.

What he wants is to appreciate Yuan Tan's madness, and let the Yuan soldiers and soldiers at the head of the city hear it, so that he can be more sure that the ugly monster tied in front of them is their eldest son Yuan.

With a faint sneer on his face, the potter raised his head in high spirits, smiled at Yuan Tan's shield, and was slowly pushed into the range of Yuan Jun's bow and crossbow.

In front of the South Gate Tower, Zhang He frowned, silently stared at the approaching Liang Jun, and looked at Yuan Tan upstairs, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Although he was a member of the Hebei faction and belonged to Yuan Shang's camp, when he saw Yuan Tan's tragic situation, there was a faint amount of sympathy in his eyes.

Yuan Shang, who was in silver armor and silver helmet, stood next to him, with a pair of cold eyes, but there was no sympathy, only burning disgust.

For Yuan Tan, he is deeply disgusted with his eldest brother.

Although Yuan Shang was ordered by Yuan Shao to be the nominal commander, he was very self-aware, knowing that his level of use of troops was not as good as Zhang He, and if he wanted to hold Ancheng, he had to rely on this Hebei general.

Therefore, today he is called the commander-in-chief, but in fact he only plays the role of supervising the army, and the commander of the former enemy is still Zhang He.

To the south, the Liang army was slowly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, it was within the range of the bow and crossbow.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Yuan family, don't care if I live or die, shoot arrows at me, I, Yuan Tan, would rather die than give in to the pottery thief, let me release arrows-" To Yuan Tan upstairs, he suddenly shouted unexpectedly.

"What's the matter, why did this bastard suddenly become bolder, and even clamored for death." Fan Xu touched the back of his head, looking puzzled.

"Foodie, do you think dogs can change to eat?" The potter sneered disdainfully, "It's just because of the experience in Huangcheng in the previous episode that he thought that Yuan Shao cared about his life and strictly ordered the soldiers not to release arrows, so he dared to pretend to be generous on purpose." ”

Fan was stunned for a moment, his mind turned a few times, and he suddenly understood.

Yuan Tan dared to put on a posture of not being afraid of death, shouting and begging for death, knowing that Yuan Jun would not release arrows at him, in this way, he could gain a reputation for being brave and fearless.

"Grandma's, it's so hypocritical, I thought he wasn't afraid of death." Fan Xu, who suddenly understood, snorted with disdain.

The potter smiled and continued to look up.

Along the front line of the city, more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers and soldiers, facing the eldest prince who generously begged for death, really fell into a dilemma again and were at a loss.

Zhang He's big gun was clenched, his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and the complicated look in his eyes was surging.

Yuan Shang was not moved, and when he saw that Zhang He did not react, he shouted: "General Zhang, why are you stunned, the enemy has entered the range of the bow and crossbow, why don't you give the order to release the arrows?" ”

"Third son, the eldest prince on the other side, you are the elder brother." Zhang He's voice trembled slightly, "If I order the arrows to be released, the arrows have no eyes, and it is very likely to shoot the eldest prince, or even shoot him to death." ”

"So what!" Yuan Shang's face was cold, "Father has strictly ordered us to do whatever we want, do you still want to disobey this time, and you still want to make excuses for abandoning the city and fleeing?" ”

In Yuan Shang's words, it was obvious that the last time, Zhang He did not directly order the arrow to be released, and he held a grudge against Yuan Tan for shooting.

Zhang He's figure shook slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, so he had to take a deep breath, slowly raised his gun, and prepared to give an order.

Yuan Tan was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, he was approaching eighty steps, and Zhang He's big gun was raised for a long time, but it was difficult to make a decision.

"Father's military order is very clear, those who dare to disobey the order will be beheaded all over the house, Zhang He, do you really want to find death?" Yuan Shang scolded eagerly.

Zhang He's body shook violently, and under this threat, fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He knew that Yuan Shao was already angry because he lost Neihuang, and if he lost Ancheng again this time, he would definitely die.

"Eldest son, I don't have a choice, if you want to blame your father and brother for being ruthless, don't blame me for Zhang He......"

In desperation, Zhang He secretly gritted his teeth, and the big gun in his hand slashed fiercely, "Crossbowman, release arrows, stop the enemy!" ”

When the order was issued, more than 2,000 crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows, but no one dared to release the first arrow.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shang was enraged and shouted: "Are you all deaf, General Zhang ordered you to release the arrows, why don't you release them?" ”

The soldiers on the left and right all looked at Zhang He, but still no one released their arrows.

Although Yuan Shang is the third son of the Yuan family, he has not led troops for many years, and his prestige in the army is not even as good as Yuan Tan, let alone Zhang He.

Half of the defenders in this vicinity are Zhang He's subordinates, so naturally they only listen to Zhang He's orders.

Zhang He didn't say a word, pretending not to see it.

The soldiers' disregard for his orders deeply irritated Yuan Shang, and without saying a word, he angrily drew his sword and beheaded a crossbowman.

There was no blood splashing, the head fell to the ground, and Yuan Shang killed Liwei, scaring the soldiers on the left and right so that they all turned pale and dumbfounded.

"Third son, good and dignified, why did you kill your own soldiers?" Seeing Yuan Shang kill his own subordinates, Zhang He said angrily.

Yuan Shang shook the blood-stained long sword and said coldly: "Military orders are like mountains, those who don't obey military orders can't be killed!" ”

"This is my ministry, if you want to kill, I should kill it, and I can't do it by the third son." Zhang He said angrily.

Yuan Shang's eyes were like blades, and he shot at Zhang He angrily, and said in a deep voice: "My father ordered me to command the army of Ancheng, and my son is the head of the whole army. ”

Yuan Shang moved out of Yuan Shao's general pressing, which instantly suppressed Zhang He's annoyance, choking him speechless.

There is no way, who let Yuan Shang be the son of the Yuan family, and he has a soldier in hand, let alone kill a pawn, even if he directly kills him, a general, it is a matter of course.

Watching Zhang He eat turtles, Yuan Shang's face softened slightly, pointed to the Liang army outside the city, and said coldly: "Zhang He, open your eyes and see, the enemy is about to approach the city wall, if you don't give the order to release arrows, if this Ancheng is lost, no one can save you." ”

Zhang He was silent, realizing that he had no choice.

After pondering for a while, he had to sigh secretly, raised the big gun in his hand again, and said loudly: "The lord has an order, and those who dare not release arrows will be killed. ”

The reason why the soldiers didn't dare to release the arrows was because they were afraid that the Yuan family would settle accounts after the autumn, and if they shot Yuan Dagongzi to death, they would be found to be scapegoats.

Zhang He has great prestige in the army, he said that if he carried it, he naturally carried it, and the soldiers had no worries, so they had to grit their teeth and release all the arrows.

Whoosh!

Hundreds of arrows broke through the army and attacked the Liang army overwhelmingly.

Although the Liang army outside the city has Yuan Tan's shield, it has also been mentally prepared for the failure of the shield, and has prepared a big shield in advance.

Upstairs, Yuan Tan's face was already miserable, and he was extremely sad and angry.

He didn't expect that the defenders of the city would dare to shoot arrows at him.

"Without my father's order, they would never dare to fire arrows at me, can they say ......" Yuan Tan's mind suddenly flashed a desperate thought.

His father had decided to abandon him and defend Anseong even if he was killed by mistake.

At this time, the opposite building has approached more than forty steps, and on the city tower opposite, everyone's figures have been seen clearly.

Among the crowd, he recognized Yuan Shang at a glance.

Yuan Shang was present, he must be the commander of Yuan's army, which means that it was Yuan Shang who gave the order to release arrows regardless of his life and death.

"Yuan Shang, you beast, I am your eldest brother, you actually want to kill me, you beast-" Yuan Tan, who was sad and angry, scolded.

The scolding was clearly audible by the soldiers and soldiers at the head of the city, and they were all moved, and their eyes quietly looked at Yuan Shang, their eyes flashing with doubt.

Yuan Shang was like a mang on his back, his face was gloomy as iron, staring at Yuan Tan, who was roaring and scolding in front of him, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.

The arrows whistled past, and the crossbowmen tried their best to avoid where Yuan Tan was, so although the arrows were dense, they did not hurt Yuan Tan for the time being.

However, as the building approached, it was a matter of time before Yuan Tan was killed by his own people's random arrows.

The arrows were still whistling past him, and it was obvious that Yuan Jun was not afraid of shooting him by mistake in order to resist the attack of the Liang army.

"Unexpectedly, they really released the arrows, Yuan Shao is going to shoot his own son......" Fan Hao said in surprise.

The potter didn't have a hint of wonder, everything was as he expected.

Those who do not care about their families for the world, for the sake of the great cause, with Yuan Shao's temperament, sacrifice a mere son, what is it.

What's more, this unassuming son has lost his face, and if he exists in this world for a day, it will be torture for Yuan Shao's spirit and dignity.

"Abandoned by your father and brother, Yuan Tan, you finally feel that life is worse than death now, your punishment is enough, it's time to give you a good time." The potter sighed in his heart, so he ordered the whole army to retreat, relieved Yuan Tan from the upper floor, and brought him back alive.

The potter wanted to torture Yuan Tan to the point that life was worse than death, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, but this did not mean that he was a pervert.

For him, after Yuan Tan was ravaged like this, and after enjoying the pain of being killed by his father and brothers, the torture of him was enough, so he wanted to get him back, behead him, and cut him off.

Moreover, since the role of the shield has been ineffective, if the attack continues, it can only damage the lives of the soldiers, and there is naturally no need for this attack to continue.

The heralds rushed away, and before the sound of gold, the 30,000 soldiers of the Liang army continued to advance towards Ancheng.

"Yuan Shang, you beast, in order to compete for the throne, you actually want to kill your own brother, you will be sent by heaven, you will not die well......"

For Yuan Tan upstairs, he vented all his anger on Yuan Shang's angry scolding, like a shrew scolding the street, roaring wildly.

That foul language also shook out the infighting between the Yuan family brothers and Yuan Shang's innermost thoughts.

The questioning eyes of the soldiers and Yuan Tan's scolding were like needles, which made Yuan Shang extremely embarrassed.

Zhang He, who was beside him, also shook his head slightly, sighing again and again, as if he was secretly complaining that he didn't care about his brotherhood.

Under all kinds of stimuli, Yuan Shang was completely enraged, and shouted angrily: "Zhang He, this son ordered you to pick up a bow and arrow, and shoot Yuan Tan, a traitor, to death with my own hands!" ”
