Chapter 157: Abandon the city and flee
Youzhou is about to be completely captured by the army under his account, and Lu Bu will not be unpredictable, so he naturally does not know that he has received the news, and the warriors and people living in Youzhou are what they think.
Outside Tuyin County, after Lu Bu used a piece of paper to order Cao Bao, Li Ru, Xian Yufu, Tian Yu and others to do what they had to do, he continued to command his soldiers to use 10,000 catapults to project cans of fire oil at the defenders above the head of Tuyin County.
"Boom ......"
"Crackling ......"
Jars of ignited oil were projected by soldiers on catapults to the head of Tuyin County, which turned the city into a sea of fire.
As for the defenders above the city, they died, and those who were lucky not to die did not dare to rise easily.
Faced with the attack of cans of fire oil that could burn them alive, they all shrank and trembled.
made them very desperate, only to feel that the destruction of Jiancheng Tuyin County was coming!
If Tuyin County is broken by Lu Bu's army, will they be alive or dead or an unknown at that time?
Outside Tuyin County, Lu Bu watched his soldiers skillfully operate catapults to project fire oil at the head of Tuyin County, and watched the tragic situation of the enemy defenders, which made Lu Bu extremely satisfied.
Spending a lot of money to make a catapult and letting the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop refine the oil, all this paid made Lu Bu feel very worthwhile!
Otherwise, Tuyin County is a fortified city, with tens of thousands of enemy troops defending the city, and Tian Feng, a wise man, who wants to break through it, I don't know how long it will take?
"Sir, you say, can we break through Tuyin County in one fell swoop today, and then let our soldiers rest in Tuyin County tonight?" At this time, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong on the side.
Hearing Lu Bu's question, Chen Gong first looked at the tragic situation of the enemy defenders above the head of Tuyin County, and then replied with great confidence: "Lord, the palace can be sure that Tuyin County has broken today!" We have been projecting fire oil to attack for so long, and now Yuyang County has been broken by General Cao Bao and Wen You, destroying their grain routes and blocking their retreat! Gong thought, the news has reached the ears of the enemy army in Tuyin County, right? This will definitely greatly damage their morale, and make them have no courage to continue defending the city! Tuyin County, there is no unbreakable truth today! ”
"Haha...... Good! According to Mr. 's words, Tuyin County will be broken today! Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and laughed.
Then, Lu Bu looked at the four generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Liu Yi, and Su Fuyan on the side, and ordered loudly: "Everyone, increase the siege of the city, and break through Tuyin County for Benhou before nightfall!" As for the enemy troops in the city, live or die! ”
"No!" Lu Bu's order, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Liu Yi, and Su Fuyan, the four generals, naturally had no objections, and hurriedly agreed.
Then, the four of them led their respective soldiers, and the momentum was violent, and they intensified the siege of Tuyin County in front of them.
"Boom" Suddenly, cans of fire oil were projected onto the head ......of Tuyin County, and it became more violent.
In addition, while Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Liu Yi, and Su Fuyan commanded the soldiers to project fire oil at the head of Tuyin County, they also ordered the soldiers to carry the ladder and attack the city head while the enemy defenders were now shrinking, and then open the city gate.
Of course, these siege soldiers chose to attack the city without the projection of the oil, otherwise, under the bombardment of so much oil, they would also suffer an unwarranted disaster, and be burned into a burning man by the fire oil projected by their own side, and then cry for their lives!
As Lu Bu's army intensified its siege efforts, the situation in Tuyin County, which was already precarious, became even worse, and they were overwhelmed by the fierce siege of Lu Bu's army!
……
In Tuyin County, Yuan Xi, as the main general, faced a jar of fire oil falling from the sky, which made Yuan Xi afraid.
Therefore, Yuan Xi naturally hid early, so as not to be smashed or splashed by the fire oil that fell from the sky and was burning, and then made him a fire man, and he would be burned to death if he was burned beyond recognition.
As for commanding the soldiers to defend the city, it has reached such a point, how can they defend the city?!
Who has the courage to brave the deadly fire oil that fell from the sky to stand at the head of the city to defend the city?!
At the same time, Yuan Xi now knows the news that Yuyang County is too shou Xian Yu to defect to the enemy Lu Bu.
As a result, Zhang He was captured, 10,000 soldiers were killed, and surrendered and surrendered.
Yuyang County has been occupied by Lu Bu's army, and their grain route has been destroyed.
They now have tens of thousands of troops stationed in Tuyin County, the daily consumption of grain is huge, their grain transport from the counties of Youzhou has been destroyed since then, after that, they can only sit and eat empty, and then, when they eat up the surplus grain of Tuyin County, there will be no more food to supply them.
Without life-saving food, tens of thousands of troops stationed in Tuyin County could only starve to death, which severely damaged the morale of their tens of thousands of troops.
If there is no food, who will serve his Yuan family in the future, let alone use his life to resist the wolf-like army of Lu Bu outside the city!
At the same time, Yuyang County was occupied by Lu Bu's army, which meant that they were trapped in the middle, with no way out, just like turtles in urns, waiting for Lu Bu's army to come and kill them at any time!
What's more, Lu Bu has now increased his siege efforts, making Lu Bu's army like wolves and tigers, not afraid of sacrifice, and they all want to attack the Tuyin County where they are located as soon as possible, kill them, and make immortal achievements!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi was terrified, and he only felt that his life was short!
However, Yuan Xi was not a man who accepted his fate, and was then beheaded by Lu Bu's army or, like Zhang He, captured in humiliation.
In order to be able to survive, Yuan Xi thought of abandoning the city and fleeing.
Anyway, looking at Tuyin County like this, it won't last long!
Yuan Xi felt that his status was noble, so he didn't want to accompany the funeral of this ruined city in Tuyin County!
What's more, Tuyin County is gone, Youbeiping County is gone, Yuyang County is gone, and in Youzhou, he still has Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Dai County, and Zhuo County.
As long as he guards the city when he arrives, and then sends a messenger to ask his father Yuan Shao for help, he may not be able to keep Youzhou.
Even, when his father Yuan Shao sent reinforcements north to rescue him, he might be able to drive away Lu Bu's army by the way!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi's eyes immediately burst out with a strong desire to survive, so he immediately arranged soldiers and prepared to abandon the city and flee.
There were Lu Bu's armies on the east and west, the endless sea in the south, and the direction in which Yuan Xi wanted to escape was the north.
Although there are murderous Xianbei people of different races in the north, the relationship between their Yuan family and the Xianbei people is not bad, if the Xianbei people know his identity, and he himself promises heavy profits to the Xianbei people, the greedy Xianbei people will definitely get out of the way of a road to heaven so that he can lead the remnants of the defeated army to escape safely.
Yuan Xi even felt that under the heavy profits he promised, coupled with the reputation of the Yuan family, it was possible for the Xianbei people to send Xianbei cavalry to escort them away safely, so as to escape the pursuit of Lu Bu's army.
It's just that just when Yuan Xi was ready to lead the army to abandon the city and flee, Yuan Xi encountered a big obstacle.
made it impossible for Yuan Xi to leave Tuyin County, the place of death that frightened him, at the first time!
