0452: Huaixian County is broken
Ding Yuan's mansion, Ding Yuan didn't fall asleep at this time, or he couldn't sleep at all. In my mind, I kept thinking of the enemy army outside, my subordinates, Yuan Shao and some things in the past, irritability, resentment, anger, confusion, remorse, and nostalgia...... All kinds of expressions kept changing on his face.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and after a while, I saw the guard who had picked up the arrow walk in. "General, there is something important to report!"
"Huh?!" Hearing this, Ding Yuan immediately stood up and looked at the guard, "What's the matter?!" Although his tone was hurried, his attitude was much more relaxed, and it was a world away from when he faced those subordinates during the day. The reason is also very simple, he is one of his personal guards, and the five thousand personal guards formed by them are his most trusted troops.
"General, the villain was keeping vigil at the west gate, and suddenly an arrow shot up, and a piece of cloth was tied to the arrow." As he spoke, the soldier presented the arrow.
Hearing this, Ding Yuan quickly took the arrow, took off the fabric, and then unfolded it, and when he didn't look at it much, he suddenly shouted angrily, "Bring Sima Lang for me!" If there is any abnormal movement, kill them on the spot! Ding Yuan snorted coldly when he heard this, his eyes were full of killing intent.
"No!"
Not long after, the guard rushed to Sima Lang's mansion with more than a dozen people, and vigorously banged on the door of the mansion.
"What's going on?!" Sima Lang, who was shocked by the movement, asked in a panic.
"It's General Ding's personal guard!" A servant said in a bit of a panic. Although he didn't know what was going on, his master and a group of generals gathered in the secret room in the middle of the night to discuss, and Na Ding Yuan sent someone to smash the door at this time, how could he not panic?
"Don't let them in!" Sima Lang, who was also confused, shouted anxiously, although he didn't know what Ding Yuan was doing with him so late, but he obviously didn't dare to see Ding Yuan because of his bad intentions. Therefore, after sending the people away, he immediately returned to the secret room and told everyone about it.
"Without further ado, whether Na Ding Yuan finds out or not, let's act immediately!" Sima Lang said with a flustered face, according to his plan, the best time to defect should be the day after tomorrow, no matter whether the Li army besieges or sieges the city, in Sima Lang's opinion, his own troops will continue to decline.
Moreover, Sima Lang believed that as long as Yuan Shao's reinforcements did not appear, Ding Yuan would not have any hope of turning defeat into victory. It's just that now, it's obvious that I can't care so much.
"Good!" The others didn't hesitate when they heard this, after all, they were already in the same boat at this time, what else could they do besides fight? Snitch? Tianxiao can get Ding Yuan's current character, will he cut himself first.
Immediately, a group of people followed Sima Lang out of the courtyard wall not far away, and went straight to the location of the troops under his command.
On the other side, after knocking for a long time and no one opened the door, the leading guard suddenly noticed something unusual, and immediately ordered someone to knock the door open and lead people to rush in. And in this regard, although he was instructed by Sima Lang, in the face of these notorious Ding Yuan's personal guards, where did those subordinates dare to stop them?
Of course, at this time, Sima Lang and the others had already run away, so after getting no results, the personal guard hurriedly arrested all those subordinates, and quickly returned to report to Ding Yuan.
At the same time, inside Tong Fei's tent.
Since nightfall, Tong Fei and Tian Feng have been sitting in the tent, they have not fallen asleep, but are waiting for the opportunity. Although they are not sure if this opportunity will arise, and whether it will appear tonight.
I just waited for a long time, but I didn't get any news, although Tong Fei was a little disappointed, he didn't care too much. "Master Tian, it's going to be dawn in two hours, so it's better to rest early."
"Why don't you wait." Tian Feng thought for a while and said, "Anyway, ...... next" Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the tent, and in an instant, Tong Fei and Tian Feng stood up together, glanced at each other, and then strode out of the tent.
"Report! There was a shout of killing at the west gate. ”
"Pass my order and attack the enemy city immediately!" When Tong Fei heard this, his face suddenly appeared happy, and at the same time, he immediately ordered, "In addition, send fast horses to the north gate and south gate, and tell the two captains Guan and Xu to immediately lead the army to attack the city!" ”
"No!"
After receiving Tong Fei's order, Guan Yu and Xu Huang, who were investigating the situation in the city, immediately led their troops to attack the city. It's not that they don't realize that this is a good opportunity to attack the city, but when the situation is unclear, it is not a good choice to start a siege in the middle of the night.
Inside the city.
"Soldiers, do you still plan to continue to serve Na Ding Yuan? Don't you know how many things he has done to harm the township during his tenure? Now! Li Wushuang's troops are outside the city, as long as the city gate is opened, Ding Yuan will definitely be defeated! Sima Lang kept shouting, inciting the soldiers around him.
At the west, north, and south gates, there were hundreds of soldiers led by generals to try to open the city gates. In the face of their movements, although there were many soldiers around them trying to block them, from their confused eyes and the way they kept retreating, God knew whether they were blocking the enemy or the people behind them.
On the other side, after Ding Yuan received the report, he immediately understood that something was wrong, "Quick, come with me to suppress the rebellion!" Also, arrest all the families of those people! With that, he immediately rushed out.
It's just that at this moment, it is obviously too late, after all, when most of the soldiers on the city wall are confused and afraid of war, and the city is even more chaotic, no matter how much the guards in charge of monitoring try to cut and kill the soldiers, they can't save the doomed defeat.
Countless soldiers of the Li Army rushed to the city wall, shouting "Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed", while constantly brandishing their weapons to kill any enemy who dared to stand in front of them. After a short time, the city gate was finally opened, and at the same time, it was announced that the city of Huai was broken.
"Withdraw! Quickly leave the East Gate! Seeing this, Ding Yuan did not have the slightest idea of continuing to resist, but immediately led the personal guard troops of about 1,000 people around him to retreat towards the east gate. Even though there were still nearly 100,000 troops in the city, he knew that he had no chance of repelling the enemy.
"Don't run away, old thief Ding Yuan!" At this moment, there were shouts not far away, "Those who capture Ding Yuan alive will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars!" Those who offer Ding Yuan's head will be rewarded with thousands of dollars! ”
In a word, Ding Yuan suddenly noticed that there was a commotion among the soldiers who were originally at a loss in the distance.
