Chapter 308: Shou Chun Po
After Yang Hong quickly sorted out his thoughts, he immediately said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, we have fallen for Cao Cao's tricks. β
"Yang Hong, do you have a remedy?"
"Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to quickly break through from Shouchun and withdraw troops from Runan County."
Yuan Shu thought deeply when he heard this, because he didn't want to leave Shouchun very much, but the situation had been depressed to this point, and he had to think carefully.
At this time, the Xiahou Department on the north gate finally climbed the city tower.
When Xiahoudun saw that Cao's soldiers had finally ascended the tower, he immediately ordered Le Jin to seize the city gate.
After Le Jin got the order, he quickly followed the soldiers to climb the tower.
Because of Lejin's athletic skills, he quickly climbed the castle tower.
Immediately, Le Jin also rushed into Yuan's army and went on a killing spree.
When Liang Gang found Le Jin's figure, he immediately swung his gun and killed him.
Seeing this, Le Jin also went up to the battle.
After the two fought Sanhe, Liang Gang was also killed by Le Jin, after all, Le Jin was also a first-class general, and Liang Gang belonged to a third-rate general.
With Liang Gang being beheaded, the morale of the Yuan army on the city tower also plummeted.
After Chen Ji saw that Liang Gang Sanhe died at the hands of Le Jin, Chen Ji, who knew that his martial arts were similar to Liang Gang, immediately began to avoid Le Jin.
Le Jin fought on the city tower for a while, and the soldiers of the Cao army also climbed the city tower in a steady stream.
Soon, Cao Jun also took the north gate.
Chen Ji saw that the city gate had been lost, and he immediately ran away with his own soldiers.
As Xiahou took the north gate, he immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the east gate.
Then, Xiahoudun left Lejin and 5,000 men to garrison the north gate.
And Xiahoudun himself led 15,000 people to kill the Shouchun Palace in the city.
After Yuan Shu thought it through, he finally decided to flee to Runan.
Immediately, Yuan Shu immediately ordered Yuan Yin to dispatch 10,000 elites in the palace to escort his family members and began to prepare to evacuate to the West Gate.
Just when Yuan Shu was about to break through, Chen Ji finally fled to the Shouchun Palace to see Yuan Shu.
When Yuan Shu learned that Chen Ji wanted to see him, he immediately summoned Chen Ji and said to him: "Chen Ji, how can you return to the palace when you are not guarding the north gate?" β
"Your Majesty, the north gate has been captured by the Cao army, General Liang Gang was unfortunately killed, and the last general desperately broke through the siege before rushing back to report the news, the Cao army should be killed to the palace immediately."
"What?"
In a hurry, Yuan Shu immediately ordered to start a breakthrough, after all, he only had 10,000 soldiers and horses around him, and once he fell into the chaos, his safety could not be guaranteed.
Just when Yuan Shu began to evacuate, Sun Ce on the south side of the gate also personally took Zhao Fan and Zhou Tai to the city tower.
Then, Sun Ce personally beheaded Zhang Xun, the guard of the South Gate.
With the death of Zhang Xun, the Yuan army at the south gate was also instantly defeated.
When Sun Ce saw this, he immediately ordered his Jiangdong soldiers to open the city gate.
At this time, Zhou Yu outside the city also led the rest of the soldiers and horses into the city.
After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu converged, he immediately asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, Shouchun has been broken, should we continue to hunt down Yuan Shu?" β
"Lord, Yuan Shu is your old master after all, the lord doesn't have to bear the infamy of devouring the lord, we just need to loot the wealth of Shouchun, and Yuan Shu has his own Cao Sikong to deal with it."
Sun Ce thought about it and felt that what Zhou Yu said was reasonable, after all, Yuan Shu had also helped him before.
Immediately, Sun Ce ordered his soldiers to slowly rush towards the Shouchun Palace.
Because of Yuan Shu's haste of escape, he had no chance to inform Ji Ling and Lu Bu at the east gate to evacuate, and Ji Ling and Lu Bu were also abandoned by Yuan Shu.
Besides, after Xu Chu led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the east gate, he immediately launched a surprise attack from inside the city towards the city gate.
When Ji Ling, who was facing the Cao army on the city tower, learned that the Cao army had also appeared in the city, he immediately found Lu Bu and said to him: "General Lu, it seems that the Cao army is attacking in the city, and you should lead your troops to meet the battle." β
When Lu Bu heard this, he was worried about his mother.
Immediately after, Lu Bu also threw down Ji Ling and began to kill towards Lu Mansion.
Because Lu Bu did not listen to Ji Ling's arrangement, Xu Chu's soldiers and horses also quickly captured the city gate.
As the east gate was opened, Cao Jun outside the city also swarmed in.
Seeing this, Ji Ling reluctantly gave the order to withdraw the troops.
Just when Ji Ling went down to the city tower and was about to evacuate, Xu Chu also found Ji Ling's figure and rushed over.
When Ji Ling saw Xu Chu coming, he had no choice but to fight, because Xu Chu's location was just blocking his retreat.
After Ji Ling and Xu Chu fought, the 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao also entered the city and plundered everywhere.
As for Cao Cao, he also entered Shouchun City with his subordinates.
Besides, after Ji Ling and Xu Chu fought for nearly thirty rounds, Ji Ling was also physically exhausted, after all, it took him a lot of energy to hold on to the east gate, and even if he wanted to escape now, he was very powerless.
When Xu Chu saw that Ji Ling's counterattack slowly became weak, he suddenly shouted and swung his knife to make a flat sweep.
If it was Ji Ling, who was in his heyday, he should be able to avoid it, but Ji Ling, whose physical strength had dropped significantly, was finally taken off by Xu Chu's big knife.
With Xu Chu's beheading of Ji Ling, the soldiers of the Yuan army no longer had the heart to resist.
At this time, Xiahou was also killed in the Shouchun Palace.
When Xiahoudun saw that the palace was empty, he immediately said, "This Yuan Shu must have fled to the west gate." β
Immediately, Xiahoudun immediately ordered the army under his command to chase and kill Yuan Shu.
Just when Xiahou Dun's troops rushed to the West Gate, Chen Ji stayed behind at the West Gate to break off Yuan Shu.
When Xiahoudun saw that Chen Ji's army was broken, he immediately ordered a charge against Chen Ji's army.
Seeing this, Chen Ji also personally led his troops to meet him.
As Chen Ji and Xiahoudun fought, Xiahoudun, who was a first-class person, also killed Chen Ji within the Sanhe, because Chen Ji also belonged to the third-rate generals.
After Xiahoudun killed Chen Ji, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Cao Cao.
Turn back to the East Gate.
After Xu Chu beheaded Ji Ling in battle, he also quickly came to Cao Cao and said to him: "Lord, Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu's command has been killed by me, and the Yuan army on the east gate has lost the heart to resist. β
"Good!"
Immediately after, Cao Cao ordered his army to be killed towards the Shouchun Palace.
Halfway through the journey, Cao Cao also received a message from Xiahoudun.
When Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shu had escaped from the West Gate, he immediately sent a letter back to Xiahoudun asking him to hunt down Yuan Shu.
At the same time, Cao Cao also asked the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun to hunt down Yuan Shu together.
After Cao Chun got the order, he quickly took Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu to hunt down Yuan Shu.
As for Cao Cao, he needed to pacify Shouchun's rebellious army.
Besides, after Lu Bu returned to Lu Mansion and saw his own lady, he was also concerned: "Lady, are you okay?" β
After hearing this, Lu Bu's wife Wei hurriedly replied: "Husband, the concubine is fine!" β
Hearing this, Lu Bu was also a little relieved.
Then, LΓΌ Bu asked Wei to follow him on the Red Rabbit Horse.
After the Wei clan sat down, Lu Bu also took the Wei clan to break through, but at this time, the city was full of chaotic troops, and Lu Bu was also trapped for a while.
