He thought about it and finally understood.

Gao Gan didn't dare to ask for it!

He was afraid that Yuan Xi would harm him.

Now that he says this, Yuan Xi will reconsider.

"Sir, go back first. I will lead the army out of the mountains tomorrow and camp at the border of Taiyuan, and when the time comes, I will go to the camp of the lord alone. All the soldiers and horses were arranged by the queen. ”

"Okay..."

Guo Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

..................

..................

Early August.

Yuan Shang is still in Jinyang City.

He plotted with the trial to evacuate Jinyang before Gao Lan's large army arrived. But it backfired, Yuan Xi's troops blocked all the roads, and even the troops they had sent to the camp in advance were monitored. What's even more worrying is that Yuan Xi's giant beast is always staring at Jinyang City. They didn't have any chance to escape.

this day.

Yuan Xi led his troops to the city and prepared to storm the city.

"Lord, the last general is willing to personally lead the troops to attack the city!" Wen Chou rode over and hugged Yuan Xi with his fist.

"You are my guard, the commander of the guards, how can I let you go to the siege of the city?" Yuan Xi said to Gao Ran on the side: "General Gao Ran, Jinyang City is strong, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, which is extremely difficult to capture, are you sure?" ”

"Don't worry, the lord will guarantee that within one day, Yuan Shang will be captured alive and dedicated to the lord!" Gao Ran's confident fist hugging.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Then let's start." ”

"Yes."

For this battle, Gao Ran has been preparing for a long time.

All the siege equipment was transferred from Yecheng, not only a large number of ladders, pontoon bridges, but also siege towers, catapults, crossbow vehicles and so on. The most important thing is that 30,000 infantry troops have just been transferred, and they are all veterans of siege warfare. It would be much easier for them to attack Jinyang.

"The lord has an order, immediately attack the city!"

Gao Ran rode through the military formation and waved the command flag.

Roar, roar, roar...

The siege echelon of 10,000 people went out and marched towards Jinyang City.

The soldiers seemed to be holding back their strength, vowing to take the city.

Rush to the front of the city gate in the blink of an eye.

Pontoon bridges and ladders are set up.

Siege towers, crashing wooden carts, and trebuchets are on the field one after another.

The soldiers climbed up without hesitation.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Throw boulders!"

Whoosh...

Boom!!

Yuan Shang personally guarded the tower and commanded the soldiers to fight.

When the besieging soldiers were halfway up, they were hit by boulders and arrows and rolled down the ladder. But no soldiers retreated, and they rushed to the tower one after another. They don't seem to be afraid of death or bloodshed.

"General Gao."

"Yes." Gao Ran heard Yuan Xi calling him and took two steps forward.

Yuan Xi pointed ahead and said: "This Black Mountain Army is really good, and the battle is extremely brave, a few points stronger than our original Jizhou Army." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Gao Ran replied: "The Black Mountain Army was the Yellow Turban Army in the early years, they moved from Qingzhou to Jizhou, defeated again and again, and survived again and again, and finally gathered in Taihang Mountain and belonged to Zhang Yan. Then they plundered in our Hebei states and confronted the forces of our three states. It can be said that the Montenegrin Army has fought for more than ten years in order to survive, and they are all veterans. ”

"yes..."

Let such an army attack the city and fight a war of attrition, Yuan Xi is really reluctant.

But he was so anxious to break the city, and he couldn't care about that much for the time being.

"Lord, look..." Zhang Jaw pointed to the city tower in the distance: "Is that Yuan Shang?" ”

"Where?"

Yuan Xi poked his head out and really saw Yuan Shang standing on the city tower, directing the battle.

"I didn't expect it.... He went into battle himself. Order the siege troops in front of me not to hurt Yuan Shang, and to capture him alive. Yuan Xi commanded.

"The lord can't do it?"

"After all, it's a brother, there's no need to kill them all. Besides, I have the ability to guarantee his life and take Jinyang City at the same time, why kill him? I don't think my father would have wanted to see this if he was here. ”

"The last will obey."

Gao Ran personally went to the battlefield and conveyed Yuan Xi's orders.

Archers who counterattack the enemy no longer aim their arrows at Yuan Shang.

The siege lasted for more than an hour, and the city was almost broken, but it fell short.

Yuan Xi came to Gao Lan: "In this more than an hour, Yuan has not used fire oil. It can be seen that he does not have oil for fire, and I can safely let the behemoths play. You have 3,000 elite siege echelons ready and 10,000 cavalry. After breaking the city, rush in, take the city, and capture Yuan Shang alive! ”

"No."

Gao Ran had been waiting for Yuan Xi's words for a long time.

Send the behemoth to the field, it is easier to break the city.

Roar!

Oh!

Heehi...

Two quarters of an hour later, the Titans, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Mammoths, who were on standby behind the battlefield, under the leadership of Yuan Xi, helped the siege troops to attack the city. Yuan Shang, who was standing on the city tower, could no longer calm down when he saw the giant beast rushing over for more than ten days.

He subconsciously ran towards the city.

It didn't matter if he ran, he also drove the soldiers under his command.

Even the commander abandoned the city and fled, what are they staying to die for?

As a result, before the giant beasts reached the tower, most of the troops stationed on the tower withdrew. The defense line of the city tower was useless, and the large equipment, arrows, and boulders on it were not taken out to fight back.

It could have lasted for a while, but now it has completely collapsed.

"Rush in!"

The siege echelon entered the city and opened the city gates. Gao Ran drew his sword and shouted. The 10,000 foot cavalry elite, who had been waiting by the side, rushed towards Jinyang City. Li Dian and Zhang Jaw's troops followed.

Wen Chou led the guards to escort Yuan Xi, and finally entered the city.

................

Tens of thousands of troops were scattered throughout the city, collecting defeated soldiers and cleaning up the battlefield.

Yuan Xi took Wen Chou to the city guard mansion.

I thought it would be very chaotic here, and Yuan Shang and the trial must have escaped. But he didn't expect that Yuan Shang and the trial were sitting in the lobby, as if they were waiting for him.

Hey?

Yuan Xi looked suspicious in his heart.

These two people still dare to stay in the city guard mansion?

Aren't you afraid of being a captive?

Wen Chou looked at it, frowned, and said, "Lord, wait for me to take them." ”

"Nope."

Yuan Xi chuckled and said: "People are sitting here waiting for me, there must be something to say, how can I not ask about the indiscriminate and the sword facing each other?" Besides, Jinyang City has been conquered, and Bingzhou is also under our control. Let's see what they say, and then deal with them. ”

"Hmm."

Wen Chou said to the guards behind him: "You rush into the city guard's mansion, search inside and out, and then guard all the key roads." If you find anything abnormal, report it to me immediately. ”

"No..." The guards hurried into the house.

Yuan Xi also walked into the lobby and bowed his hand to Yuan Shang and the judge: "Third brother, Mr. Zhengnan, don't come to harm?" ”

Wen Chou was always like a great enemy, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

He always had a hunch that Yuan Shanghe didn't have any good intentions, maybe he ambushed people in the city guard's mansion, and he was waiting to attack Yuan Xi. As the commander of the guards guarding Yuan Xi, he would never allow any accidents to happen.
