Under the banner, looking at the dense crowd of people on the city wall in the distance, Yan Shao looked a little surprised, and slapped his hand on the neck of the horse under his crotch, and said with some irony. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "This Cai Qi is so stubborn, does he think he still has any chance of winning..."

Hearing Yan Shao's words, the surrounding generals also laughed.

No way, as a general, the lord has said so, can they not laugh? Are you still going to continue to mix under Yan Shao's account?

Moreover, they also felt that Yan Shao's words were very correct, these Donglai rats were indeed ridiculous, the army had already pressed the border, and they were still counting on these rabble to resist them.

"Lord, you can't be careless for the sake of the three armies..."Seeing that Yan Shao was talking and laughing so easily, Zhao Yun next to him hurriedly admonished.

The so-called do not underestimate the enemy with the weight of the army, do not go against the public with unique opinions, do not take arguments as inevitable, and the disaster is greater than underestimating the enemy. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples of failure because of the underestimation of the enemy, not to mention anything else, Guandu Yuan Shao was underestimated by the enemy, so he lost. Chibi Cao Cao also underestimated the enemy, and then lost. and Yiling too, Liu Bei underestimated the enemy, and in the end not only lost, but even took his life.

Of course, these Zhao Yun didn't know, he just felt that Yan Shao was so light on the enemy, as a courtier, he needed to come forward to persuade him to mention ―――――― by the way, in the battle of Yiling, it seemed that only Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were the most complete.

Zhao Yun's character, to be honest, is actually not very likable.

How to say it, even if many people know that they should be close to loyal ministers and stay away from villains, it is easier said than done. Not to mention anything else, loyal ministers often say in your ear that this can't be done, that can't be done, maybe it's nothing at first, you can read that he is for your own good and tolerate it, and after a long time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tolerate. At this time, there are a few people who are good at flattery, and it is difficult to say who they will get close to.

However, Yan Shao's love for Zhao Yun came from the heart, and he had long known his character, so he didn't mind it, but laughed and said. "What Zilong said is that Shao is indeed too underestimated to the enemy, but Zilong should not be surprised, Shao really can't think of a reason why I will lose..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun sighed helplessly.

It can't be helped, because he can't think of it either. If this Cai Qi is a little more capable, or if he has a capable subordinate under his command or something, maybe this battle can still be a little suspenseful. But from the previous experience under Beihai City, it can be seen that most of Cai Qi's surroundings are wine bags and rice bags, and there is really nothing to be careful about, so it is no wonder that Yan Shao is so proud and complacent.

As for Dong Zhao next to him, he nodded with some satisfaction.

Because he could see that Yan Shao's attitude had not changed, and he still despised Cai Qi strategically and tactically. However, Zhao Yun's words just now did not anger Yan Shao, and he didn't even mind at all. If nothing else, isn't such a lord an excellent choice for a courtier?

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

The siege did not begin immediately, and as an understanding on the battlefield, if you didn't even say a word, it would be too urgent to attack the city immediately. After the army arrived at the city of Huangxian, Yan Shao first ordered his subordinates to set up camp, and then sent people to contact the defenders in the city.

I saw Tai Shi Ci riding alone to the outside of the city wall, taking a bow and drawing arrows, and a letter was tied to the arrow.

The arrow landed right on the city wall, and by chance, it landed beside the scribe, so much so that the scribe and the people around him were startled. But after picking up the arrow, the scribe did not hesitate, and ran directly to Cai Qi's side with the arrow.

"Hmph, this Yan Shao is too deceitful!" Looking at the letter shot with an arrow, Cai Qi slapped the wall in annoyance.

It's no wonder that Cai Qi is so annoyed, what the letter says is very simple, that is, let him surrender the city, for the sake of him being a famous family, you can give him a chance to be a farmer. In short, it is to leave him with only one life and nothing else.

When the scribe discussed with Cai Qi before, he had already talked about this possibility, and Cai Qi secretly accepted it in his heart. But at this time, he still found it difficult to accept, as the Taishou of Donglai County, he was used to that feeling of being superior, especially in today's day when the prestige of the Han family was weakening day by day, he was almost the emperor of Donglai County, and now Yan Shao asked him to be poor again, how could he bear it.

Looking at the annoyed Cai Qi, some of the surrounding generals secretly complained to themselves.

In fact, according to their opinion, this condition can be agreed, after all, most of the princes at this time, except for Yan Shao, who arranged the team early, are the original local officials. These civil and military forces under their hands were not originally their personal team, but were arranged by the imperial court, and they had no loyalty to Cai Qi at all.

In addition, Cai Qi was so bad that he was disappointed before, and now he has only lost his status and power, but he can exchange for the safety of the people in the city, this deal is too straightforward in the eyes of others, and even the scribes around Cai Qi feel that this condition can be considered.

But just look at Cai Qi's appearance, Cai Qi will never choose this...

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, unlike Cai Qi, Yan Shao didn't plan to attack the city in the middle of the night, that would be too disadvantageous. After setting up camp, some soldiers and horses were arranged to be responsible for the inspection, and Yan Shao let his soldiers and horses rest.

Looking at the camp that fell into silence, Cai Qi had a plan.

"You say, what if you go out of the city and attack the camp now?"

I have to say that in order to solve the current crisis, Cai Qi has also made a lot of efforts, at least he has read a lot of military books in the city, and he can be regarded as knowing how many mistakes he has made before, and it is almost normal to fail. It's just that these can only be regarded as temporary cramming, such as now.

Hearing Cai Qi's words, several generals glanced at each other, and finally the eldest of them stood up and said to Cai Qi with his fists in his hands. / "Lord, this, I'm afraid it's a little unrealistic, you see, although the soldiers and horses of Yan Shao's department have just arrived in the city, but the camp is very tight, in addition to the main camp, there are also two camps on the left and right, relying on each other, and there are sergeants responsible for patrolling after nightfall. This Yan Shao is experienced in a hundred battles, and he is the choice of today's famous generals, and it is impossible for Yan Shao not to do such a thing as an attack on the camp..."

At least Yan Shao would never do the kind of thing that allows his subordinates to work day and night in order to grab more loot, exposing his most vulnerable side to the enemy who is plotting against him. This is also the most complained about Cai Qi's subordinates, and some generals have suggested to him before, thinking that it is not appropriate to march so quickly.

Although Tai Shi Ci said that he had betrayed Yan Shao, this just showed that he was not trustworthy, and he was looking for death by exposing his most vulnerable side?

But at that time, Cai Qi and the strategist had been blinded by the wealth in Beihai City, for fear that Tai Shi Ci would enter the city first and snatch everything away...

In fact, their worries are not unreasonable, as the head of the generals of the Beihai, Tai Shici already has a high prestige, and the soldiers and horses under his command are the strongest among the soldiers and horses in the Beihai, maybe they don't even need to do anything to break through the city, and they won't be able to catch anything at that time, which is why Cai Qi is so anxious.

But this reason is impossible to say now, looking at the generals who dissuaded him, Cai Qi said with some annoyance. "Then what do you say, do you just watch Yan Shao attack the city!"

"This..."Hearing Cai Qi's words, several generals were silent, just scolding in their hearts that if he hadn't been so anxious at the beginning, how could he have fallen into such a predicament.

Not to mention anything else, if the previous 3,000 soldiers and horses were intact, no matter how powerful Yan Shao was, he would be afraid of one or two, and it would be impossible to set up the camp under the city wall so arrogantly. It is impossible to be so arrogant and only put forward one condition, but at the moment it is useless to say anything, and the battle that should be fought will be fought. What's more, as warriors, they are also very resistant in their hearts, so they surrender without a fight.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Yan Shao waited all night, and found that there still seemed to be no movement on the other side, and smiled at the generals on the left and right. "Looks like this guy is really planning to be stubborn..."

Everyone else laughed too, and seemed to be in a relaxed mood.

It's no wonder that they will be like this, it's just that the difference in strength between each other is too huge, and they really can't think of a reason why they will lose, and there are too many reasons to win. Even Zhao Yun, who was cautious by nature, was like this, not to mention others.

"Since this Cai Qi is stubborn and plans to resist stubbornly, I will ask the lord to order the siege of the city and teach them a lesson!" Clenched his hands into fists, Tai Shi Ci asked for it.

I have to say that before meeting Yan Shao before, Tai Shici was also a little worried, after all, this thing that Cai Qi made was too disgusting. This is really the easiest strategy to succeed, especially when your subordinates are likely to be successful.

As the head of the generals in Beihai, Tai Shici's prestige is already very high, and he is the one who poses the biggest threat to Yan Shao, but now Cai Qi has another divisive plan. Tai Shici certainly led the troops to defeat the soldiers and horses of Donglai County, but who knows if Yan Shao will mind in his heart? Maybe he has just returned to the city, and he will start to weaken Tai Shici's power.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yan Shao didn't mind at all, not only was he kind and relieved, but he also gave many rewards, only the official position has not been moved+―――――― there is no way, Tai Shici is already a general who leads the troops. Yan Shao himself is just a little Beihai Taishou, even if he wants to be promoted, what can he promote? You can't let Tai Shici take his place as the Beihai County Guard, right? So why did he go by himself?

Even if he wants to give the position of this county guard to Tai Shici, he will wait until he becomes the assassin of Qingzhou.

Anyway, Yan Shao's trust still made Tai Shici grateful. Now he even makes an opening to show his loyalty.

Of course, Yan Shao wouldn't mind his subordinates like this, and he smiled directly after hearing this. "Since that's the case, then I'll bother Ziyi to give that old man a little color to see." Considering the age difference between Yan Shao and Cai Qi, there is no problem at all with the title of the old horseman.

And one thing is particularly important, that is, unlike many princes at this time, Yan Shao's civil and military forces are very young. For example, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are only in their early twenties, even the oldest one among these civil and military forces, that is, Dong Zhao is only in his thirties, and this is really a very young team.

got the general, where would Tai Shici hesitate and immediately ordered.

I saw that dozens of stone carts had already been erected in the camp, crunching in the shouts of the sergeants, and then...

There was a cracking sound, and dozens of stones flew towards the opposite city wall, making a terrifying sound.

is different from the novel, in fact, the stone cart has been there for a long time, at least in the Qin Dynasty, it has been used to fight. It's just that at the time of the Battle of Guandu, the performance of the so-called stone cart was not very good, and in the end, Liu Ye made improvements, and finally became one of the important reasons for Cao Cao's victory――――――.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

With a burst of breaking sounds, the stones made a terrifying sound and landed on the city wall, the volume of these stones is not very large, the largest one is only the size of a watermelon, but the power of these things is amazing, it is good for the city wall, but for people, as long as it is hit, the skin will be opened? It can be smashed into a puddle of rotten meat.

Almost in the blink of an eye, I saw that many soldiers on the city wall were hit by these stones, and as long as they hit, they basically died immediately, without exception.

Looking at a sergeant who had been hit in the upper body, almost no longer human, and the lower body was still twitching, Cai Qi suddenly felt a fishy smell gushing up from the depths of his throat. Before the others could react, they were already leaning on the corner of the wall and vomiting.

As a literati, he had certainly seen some bloody side on the battlefield before, but when he had seen such a disgusting scene, he couldn't help but vomit.

When the other sergeants saw this scene, they certainly felt disgusted, but they were not as unbearable as Cai Qi, and their eyes at Cai Qi were inevitably contemptuous.

The power of these stones is indeed amazing, not to mention the soldiers on the city walls, many of the stones that fell into the city and even some houses collapsed. Occasionally, a sergeant wants to use a shield to resist, but he is completely powerless, each of these stones has a weight of dozens of catties, plus the power brought by falling from a high altitude, how can an ordinary shield block it?

If it weren't for the fact that the stone carts were not powerful enough in those years, I am afraid that the casualties on the city wall would have been enough for the soldiers defending the city to collapse. Even so, it has already caused the morale of the defenders to plummet. Especially those people from the family who were forced to defend the city have already considered the idea of whether to run away or not...

About half an hour later, after throwing out most of the stones he had gotten, looking at the screaming in the distance, Yan Shao nodded at Tai Shici...

At the sound of an order, more than a thousand soldiers and horses who had already been prepared had already rushed up with a ladder.
