Chapter 165: Storming Yongqiu
Yuan Shu instigated the Snow Shadow Horse to slowly step forward under the escort of Ji Ling, looking at the soldiers and soldiers of Zhang Miao, who were surrounded by his army and still resisted stubbornly against the gate of Yongqiu County, which had been closed, his heart moved, and said: "Pass my order, those who surrender on the spot, don't kill!" ”
"Those who surrender on the spot, don't kill!"
Not long after Yuan Shu's order was issued, a herald passed this order to the ears of the group of trembling Zhang Miao soldiers.
People may perish in a desperate situation, or they may burst out with great power. But this refers to a situation in a desperate situation, where there is a choice, and no one will do anything that will not stop until it is absolutely necessary.
Now Zhang Miao has locked up a large part of Zhang Miao's soldiers outside Yongqiu City, which can be said to have cut off the way of life for these soldiers.
However, Yuan Shu did not do this, but prepared to capture these soldiers, after all, there were quite a few soldiers who were locked up outside Yongqiu City by Zhang Miao, there were thousands of people, even if Yuan Shu was not afraid of the death-defying counterattack of these soldiers, it would be better to have less trouble.
When Yuan Shu gave this order, Chen Zhong and Xun Yan glanced at each other, and they both tacitly agreed that they did not express their own evaluation of this matter. As the outstanding sons of the Chen family and the Xun family, Chen Zhong and Xun Yan don't care about the life and death of these soldiers at all, for the two of them, whether they are killed or surrendered on the spot, they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, and how to choose in the end depends on Yuan Shu's personal intentions.
Since Yuan Shu wanted to capture this group of people, Chen Zhong and Xun Yan naturally would not raise any objections, there were only a few thousand people left and right, and in front of the 50,000 elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, they couldn't make any big waves at all.
After the herald shouted Yuan Shu's order to Zhang Miaojun, who was confronting Yuan Shu's army, he ran a few laps in a row and continued to loudly convey Yuan Shu's order.
In a desperate situation, if there is a trace of possibility, ordinary people will not choose to die and break the net. After Yuan Shu expressed his willingness not to kill, these Zhang Miao soldiers fell into hesitation.
"Bang!"
I don't know who it was, he took the lead in dropping the weapon in his hand, the weapon knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I am willing to surrender, as long as you don't kill me, let me do anything." ”
When the first person has made his choice, there will be a second, a third, the hundredth, and a thousandth. Soon, just like the spread of the virus, the thousands of soldiers outside Yongqiu County who were abandoned by Zhang Miao chose to surrender to Yuan Shu.
There may be many people who have joined Zhang Miao because they admire Zhang Miao's character, but now at the moment of life and death, what is this affection? No matter how good Zhang Miao is, he can be abandoned in this situation.
Seeing that these thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Zhang Miao had chosen to surrender, Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Zhang Miao, who had already arrived at the head of Yongqiu City, Yuan Shu ordered people to collect these and thousands of soldiers who surrendered on the spot, and ordered people to prepare to attack the city.
A small Yongqiu City wanted to block his Yuan Shu, which was really overwhelming.
After thousands of Zhang Miao's soldiers were controlled, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on Zhang Miao at the head of Yongqiu City, and then under Zhang Miao's gaze, Yuan Shu drew his sword and slashed, and ordered loudly: "Siege!" ”
"Rush!"
Yuan Shu gave an order, and 10,000 soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, who had already been ready, rushed to Yongqiu City with the rough cloud ladders that had been urgently built, and put these simple cloud ladders on the walls of Yongqiu City.
Although the siege equipment made by Yuan Shujun temporarily is a little simple, but Yongqiu is just a county seat, not a strong city, if it is Chen Liucheng, then Yuan Shu may still pay attention to it, but if a small Yongqiu is too important, it is completely unnecessary.
10,000 Yuan Shu soldiers launched a fierce offensive against Yongqiu City one after another, and Zhang Miao, who was sitting at the head of Yongqiu City, was not to be outdone, although there were only more than 10,000 soldiers in Yongqiu City now, and Yongqiu City could not stand so many people at one time. Even if Yuan Shujun outside Yongqiu City was menacing, he would not be able to accept it if Zhang Miao was asked to give up Yongqiu like this.
Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao started to fight each other in the morning, and Yuan Shu defeated Zhang Miao and forced thousands of Zhang Miao's remnants to start the siege at noon, and this siege battle was not until the evening before the results came. Yuan Shu's Yellow Turban General Bian Xi was the first to climb the head of Yongqiu City, and then Chen Lan, Lei Bo, He Man and others climbed to the head of the city, and swept away the obstacles on the head of Yongqiu City with bravery, and then He Man killed the gate of Yongqiu City, opened the city gate from Yongqiu City, and welcomed Yuan Shu's army into the city.
When Yuan Shu rode the Snow Shadow Horse from the city gate into Yongqiu City, the entire Yongqiu City was already controlled by Yuan Shujun, but unfortunately before Yongqiu City was broken, Zhang Miao escaped from Yongqiu City under the protection of several cronies, which made Yuan Shu feel a little regretful.
If Zhang Miao can be captured in Yongqiu this time, then the next battle in Chenliu will be much simpler. It's a pity that this Miao is also a little fast.
As if seeing the regret in Yuan Shu's heart, Xu Chu stepped forward with a knife and said, "Lord, the last general is willing to go after Zhang Miao, and he will capture Zhang Miao and bring him back to the lord." ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing Xu Chu's words, Yuan Shu laughed a few times, and then said: "Zhongkang can have this heart, I am very relieved, in this way, I will give you five hundred people, you go to chase Zhang Miao, you can catch up with the best, it doesn't matter if you can't catch up." ”
"Don't worry, lord!" After Xu Chu got the order, he led 500 people to chase in the direction of Zhang Miao's escape, looking like he was bound to win. And beside Xu Chu, although his body is not as burly as Xu Chu, Xu Ding, who is far beyond ordinary soldiers, is also quite eye-catching.
Xu Ding Xu Chu brother is a famous general under Yuan Shu, Xu Chu is the first fierce general under Yuan Shu, in Yuan Shu's view, Xu Chu is a level of fierce general with Guan Yu Zhang Fei who shines under the Tiger Prison, with him to shoot, if he can really catch up with Zhang Miao, then Zhang Miao is destined to fall into his own hands.
Looking around, Yuan Shu instigated the Snow Shadow Horse, walked forward slowly, and ordered: "Fu Yi, you go and arrange all the soldiers under your command, this time you defeat Zhang Miao, you can use some wine and meat to reward." ”
"The last general obeys!" Ji Lingdao.
"Xiu Ruo, a war has just broken out in Yongqiu, and the people's hearts will inevitably be unstable, and the matter of appeasing the people's hearts will be handed over to you."
"My subordinates understand!" Xun Yan said.
"Xiaoxian, you immediately send someone to investigate the situation in the rest of the county town in Chenliu, especially the defense situation, you must find out."
"No!" Chen Zhongdao.
