Yecheng since Yuan Shao became the master, it began to expand, the original city wall did not fall down, but became the inner city, although not as strong as the outer city, but also has benefits, the outside of the siege equipment can not be deployed in the city.

Therefore, after seeing that the city was broken, Gao Gan and Xianbei and others quickly retreated to the direction of the inner city, wanting to use the narrow terrain in the city to block the attack of the Guanzhong army.

It's just that the outer city has been broken, and the military spirit has been broken, and it is not easy to gather troops and horses in the chaos at this moment to rely on the inner city to block the imposing Guanzhong army.

"Yecheng has been broken, if you don't descend at this time, when will you wait!?"

"The lord has an order, those who kneel and surrender will not be killed, those who have no blades will not be killed, the old and young women and children will not be killed, and those who violate the order will be killed!" In the chaotic night, the generals rode their horses and galloped through the streets and alleys.

Chen Mo entered the city at this time, the first order was not to kill the enemy, but to protect the people, when the city was broken, it was also the easiest time for the soldiers to kill the red eye, and the casualties of the robes accumulated in the heart during the siege of the city needed to be vented, throughout the ages, there were many famous generals who would indulge the soldiers to kill after breaking the city, which was also a way to stabilize people's hearts.

Let's not evaluate it morally, but in the hearts of the army, this trick is very effective, because in the process of slaughtering the city, in addition to the grain and grass needed in the army, the other things that are grabbed are all owned by individuals, and they are also rewards in disguise, but what is the result? According to the information obtained by Chen Mo, Xuzhou is still very repulsive to Cao Cao, and Guangling is still in the hands of the Chen family, ostensibly to defend Cao Cao against Jiangdong invasion, but in fact, the Chen family in Guangling is basically in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.

Even putting aside the gains and losses of these interests, Chen Mo is also very disgusted with this kind of thing of using the people to vent to the soldiers, and it is thanks to this that the city captured by Chen Mo can basically ensure the integrity of the people's livelihood...... The land of the Central Plains has been ravaged by war and devastation, but Guanzhong is gradually populating, although it is worth the troubled times, but the people of Guanzhong can be said to be the easiest and richest compared with the people of other places in the Central Plains.

These generals in charge of heralding orders galloped back and forth in the city, giving orders, and these military orders were not only heard by the officers and soldiers of Guanzhong, but also by the recalcitrant Jizhou army and the people of Jizhou in the city.

Most of the people are shrinking at home at the moment and dare not go out, the worst in the war is always the people, the words of those Guanzhong generals in the city have made these people breathe a sigh of relief, but they have not relaxed their vigilance because of this, after all, this is just an order, and now those Guanzhong generals who kill red eyes can accept the order, there is still between two theories.

And those Yecheng defenders in the city who have begun to collapse are naturally not to mention, as soon as the city is broken, the morale that was originally encouraged has completely collapsed with the city being breached, many people saw the Guanzhong army killing, immediately abandoned their weapons and asked to surrender, and some people panicked according to the instructions of the trumpet, retreated to the inner city to continue to defend.

Fires broke out in many places, and the chaotic battle continued until dawn, when it gradually stopped.

When Chen Mo entered the city, sporadic fighting in the city came from afar, and black smoke from the overflowing houses that had burned out was scattered in all directions of the city, but the war was over by now.

"Lord, the soldiers of our army have occupied important places such as city walls, granaries, and treasury, but the senior cadres and judges led the remnants to retreat to the inner city, and we have no siege equipment, so we can't attack them for a while." Zhang Ji led a group of generals to Chen Mo to return to his life.

"It's good to be able to break the city, the general has been fighting for a day and a night, he must be tired, go back and rest first, and I will handle the affairs in the city." Chen Mo said with a smile as he walked.

"Whoa!" Zhang Ji agreed, bowed and retired.

Soon, Gao Shun took the soldiers of the trapped camp to find Chen Mo.

"The last general, Gao Shun, come to restore your life!" Gao Shun came to Chen Mo and bowed down.

Looking at the soldiers who had fallen into the camp mixed with blood and mud on their bodies and had dried up, Chen Mo was a little distressed, although this battle successfully broke the city, but the damage to the trapped camp was also the most serious.

took two steps forward, helped Gao Shun and said: "This battle can be won, the general and the soldiers of the camp are indispensable, and take the soldiers down to rest, I have ordered the kitchen to prepare broth for the soldiers, eat and sleep again, this battle, the camp is the first merit!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Gao Shun and a group of soldiers in the camp saluted in unison to Chen Mo.

"Go ahead." Chen Mo hugged Gao Shun: "The damage in the camp is serious this time, make up for it for me as soon as possible, the soldiers of the three armies, you can choose." ”

"Whoa!" Gao Shun intervened, and then left with the soldiers in the camp.

Many soldiers around are envious to look at the soldiers of the trapped camp, after this battle, the soldiers of the trapped camp must be promoted to a military marquis level general, but it is only envious, after all, the credit of the camp is exchanged for life, the lone army enters the enemy city, and under the encirclement and suppression of the enemy army, he kills a bloody road and opens the city gate for the army, which is not something that any army can do.

Arrange for the siege soldiers to rest, the army outside the city began to enter the city, and the Yecheng Palace was in the inner city, and the inner city was not down, and the Yecheng was not completely breached.

Chen Mo arranged for the soldiers to rest or go to inspect the city, or to besiege the inner city, and arrange everything in an orderly manner, the command of tens of thousands of people, now Chen Mo is already skilled, and there is no stagnation in mobilization, and at the same time, the surrendered army in the city was also broken up and reorganized by Chen Mo, and people were selected to serve as the commander, the commander and even the team leader, these positions were not held by the generals of Guanzhong, but directly selected from the surrendered army, and invisibly calmed down the defenders of Yecheng, not to mention that they would return to their hearts immediately, but at least there would not be too much chaos.

After doing all this, Chen Mo began to check the inner city, and it was a trouble to fail to grab the inner city, but Yecheng now has a granary and a treasury in the hands of Lu Bu, and there should not be too much grain and grass in the inner city, so Chen Mo did not attack immediately, and the environment in the city is not suitable for a strong attack, the inner city walls are full of residential houses, and it is difficult for large-scale siege equipment to be used here, so there is no need to think about the ladder and the well, even if it is an ordinary ladder, there are only those few roads that can attack.

Standing on the enemy tower of the city wall, Chen Mo looked down at the inner city in the distance, and after a while, Xun You came with a few people.

"Lord, the people in the city have begun to be calmed, and the remaining Jizhou army has also been cleared." Xun You said with a smile.

"These are ......" Chen Mo turned his head, looked at the few people behind Xun You, and wondered.

"Let me introduce below, this is Xun Chen, a famous man from Yingchuan, and he is also an uncle." Xun You invited a person behind him out and smiled.

"It turned out to be Mr. Youruo, when Ci Ming Gong was alive, I often heard Ci Ming Gong talk about it, and I wanted to visit him at the beginning, but unfortunately the times changed, and I didn't see Mr. until ten years later." Chen Mo bowed slightly, Xun Chen is also the hero of the Xun family.

"The name of the general, Chen has admired it for a long time, but he hates not having the opportunity to see it." Xun Chen smiled sideways and introduced: "These are all Yecheng guards, and they are willing to join the generals with them." ”

Chen Mo smiled and bowed his head to these people, if it was five years ago, Xun Chen was willing to come to vote, Chen Mo would definitely welcome him, but now he is poor to vote, although Chen Mo treats each other with the same courtesy, but he is not too enthusiastic, after all, he needs talents at the beginning, and now with Chen Mo's power and territory getting bigger and bigger, it is talents who come to Chen Mo, this situation is different, and the attitude will naturally not be the same.

"A few people came at the right time, now the outer city of Yecheng has been broken, but the inner city is still controlled by the Yuan family, but I don't know how many soldiers, horses, grains and grass are still in this inner city?" Chen Mo took everyone back to the government office and asked with a smile.

"The inner city is mostly a gathering place for Yecheng families and wealthy families, in addition to the palace is also located in the inner city, the palace imitates Luoyang, with the division of the school captain's department, the Yulin military captain and the five schools of the northern army, a total of 6,000 people, in addition to the 1,200 soldiers in charge of the guard and the army and the family private soldiers who fled into the city, now in the inner city, there are 20,000 people." One of the generals replied with some restraint.

There is no way, he is a general, and his confidence is insufficient, especially in the face of Chen Mo, the controller of Guanzhong, Chen Mo's majesty is not only the momentum shown on his body, but more importantly, the great feats, the battle of Muye defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories, and not long ago defeated the famous generals Han Qiong and Zhang He in Jizhou in Chaoge, Yecheng is such a strong city, it only took five days to break through, the momentum brought by this great military prestige made these generals feel a little unable to raise their heads in front of Chen Mo.

"What about the grain and grass?" Chen Mo asked.

"The grain and grass in Yecheng are mostly tun in the north of the city, and now they have been occupied by the lord." Xun Chen quickly found his position, and explained to Chen Mo with a smile: "However, in the palace, there should still be some grain in stock, plus the food in the major families, if it is taken out, it can also support some time." ”

Chen Mo nodded, this is a relatively ideal result, but in fact, it may not be possible to take out all these things, after all, there are eunuchs in the palace, major families, and their own families to feed, it is impossible to take out all the grain and grass, and the outer city has been broken, and the army is already in a state of despair and helplessness, which will not last.

"Mr. Youruo, now that the outer city has been broken and the inner city has been cut off from food and grass, I wonder if I can persuade the defenders in the city to surrender the city?" Chen Mo looked at Xun Chen and asked: "After all, if there is another war in this city, it will be the people of Yecheng who will suffer in the end, and among these people, there should be the wives and children of the soldiers in the city, right?" If you can't fight, don't fight. ”

"It's because of this that I'm waiting for this, do you remember Zhang Yi?" One of the generals laughed.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, he has always had a good memory, how could he not know the person he had just fought not long ago.

"This person is now the guard of the west gate of the inner city, and he has long had the heart to serve the lord."

"I see." Chen Mo nodded and said, "I'm bothering you to tell him that if you can help me attack the inner city, you can seal the inner marquis and promote the official to one level." ”

"Whoa!"
