Three days later, it was nightfall.

Yecheng West Gate.

Yuan Shao, with the support of Yuan Xi, came to the head of the city, looked at the Su camp outside the city from afar, his expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked down at the bustling city at his feet, with a faint hint of tears in his eyes, and the four words of reluctance were all written on his face.

Of course, he was reluctant.

This is Yecheng, the starting point of his take-off.

In that year, he set out from here, led the army to defeat Gongsun Zhan, captured the three states of Hebei, and became the largest prince in the world.

Back then, he also set out from here, leading an army of 200,000 to the south, wanting to destroy Su Zhe and dominate the world.

It's a pity that a fire, a defeat, burned all his dreams and pushed him mercilessly into the abyss of failure.

Now, all the dreams have come to naught, and he, even the city where his dream took off, can't hold it, and has to give it to Su Zhe.

His heart could not shed blood.

"I, Yuan Shao, which step was wrong, why was I forced to such a field step by step by that traitor from a poor family, why?"

Yuan Shao looked up at the night sky, his face was endlessly confused, and he didn't understand why until now.

The soldiers under the city were all anxious and anxious to get out of the city.

The tragedy of Liyang City had already planted the seeds of fear in their hearts, and they were all worried that Yecheng would become a second Liyang, and they would also suffer the same cruel fate as their comrades who died in battle.

Now, Yuan Shao has decided to let the city go, and of course they can't wait to escape from this place of death.

Yuan Xi on the side saw Yuan Shao in a daze, so he couldn't help but say: "Father, it's time to act, if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid that the news will leak out." ”

Yuan Shao's thoughts returned to reality, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards Gaolan.

"My lord." Gao Ran hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Yuan Shao patted Gao Ran's shoulder and said with anticipation: "Ziguan, you are the last famous general under my command, whether you can break out of the encirclement tonight, the life and death of my Yuan family depends on you." ”

When Gao Ran's chest was neutral, he ignited a wave of pride, arched his hand, and said angrily: "Don't worry, my lord will fight for this life, and I will protect the lord from the encirclement!" ”

Yuan Shao's face was full of emotion, and he waved his hand and said, "It's enough to have your words, without further ado, let's go." ”

Gao Ran arched his hand, strode down the city, turned over his horse, made a move with a big gun in his hand, and shouted: "Brother and brother, if you want to live, follow me Gao Ran to fight to the death and fight a bloody way!" ”

Inside the city gate, nearly 20,000 Yuan soldiers and soldiers, their will to survive was aroused, and their blood was blazing, like a fierce beast about to be released, roaring and screaming.

"Open the gates!" Gao Ran shouted.

The gates were slowly opened, and the hanging suspension bridge fell with a bang.

Gao Ran took a horse and carried a gun, and was the first to rush out of the gate, followed by more than 20,000 soldiers, swarming out of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao was also helped on his horse and stood at the gate of the city, ready to follow Gao Lan out of the city.

And Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other strategists also took their families and prepared to go out of the city.

In a short time, all 20,000 forwards were out of the city.

Yuan Shao suddenly shouted: "Close the city gate and pull up the suspension bridge!" ”

The soldiers were all shocked, and they did not know what he meant, but they did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly closed the city gate again.

Yuan Shao turned his horse and said in a loud voice: "Go, follow me to the north gate." ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Yuan Xi and Xu Yu and other people who knew in advance, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other strategists were all taken aback.

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Isn't the lord preparing to break through from the west gate, why do you want to go to the north gate instead." ”

Yuan Shao was silent.

Xu You asked rhetorically: "Tian Yuanhao, you don't want to think about it, if we all break through from the West Gate, the Su thieves will definitely mobilize a large army to intercept it, do we still have any hope of rushing out?" ”

Tian Feng suddenly realized, his face changed in shock, and he looked at Yuan Shao anxiously: "Does the lord want Gao Ran to be used as a bait to attract Su thieves, so as to take the opportunity to break through from the north gate?" ”

"So far, that's all it can be." Yuan Shao exhaled helplessly.

"But, in this case, wouldn't Gao Ran be certain to die?" Tian Feng's brows were already twisted into a rope.

Yuan Shao was silent again.

Xu You defended him: "The lord is the world, there must be no mistakes, for the sake of the lord, for the sake of the overall situation, only let Gao Ran sacrifice, in addition, do you have any other way?" ”

Tian Feng was dumbfounded, not knowing how to argue, and looked at Yuan Shao, wanting to see if he was really so ruthless.

Yuan Shao didn't say a word, slammed his horse and walked away.

Yuan Xi, Xu You, Guo Tu and others also followed.

Tian Feng shook his head and sighed bitterly, looking at Fu Zhu with disappointed eyes: "Gonghe, this is the lord that you and I are loyal to." ”

There was also disappointment in his eyes, and he sighed bitterly: "The Yuan family can fall to the point where it is today, it is really not wronged at all, that Chu Gong Su Zhe is not in the world, who can still win the world." ”

Tian Feng was thoughtful, and suddenly, his eyes swelled with a look of bitter consciousness.

"Gongyou, do you still want to run away with him?"

"What about you?"

Tian Feng said lightly: "The Yuan family's qi is exhausted, even if they escape, they will only survive for a few more days, I would rather stay in Yecheng and die frankly than follow such a lord to go down." ”

"Brother Yuan Hao thought of going with me." He smiled, "I also want to see the demeanor of that Duke Chu, even if he can't escape death in the end, he will die without shock." ”

The two of them had made up their minds, so they did not follow Yuan Shao to the north gate, but returned to the west gate, stood with their hands in their hands, quietly looked at the Soviet army camp in the night, and waited for the moment of fate.

Outside the West Gate.

Gao Lanzheng led 20,000 soldiers to advance in the dark, and soon arrived at the trench dug by the Soviet army.

Gao Ran gave an order, and the soldiers quickly laid the planks brought by the army on the trench and built a temporary bridge.

Gao Ran led the army over the trench, held his breath, and cautiously approached the Soviet camp, trying to touch the gap between the Soviet camps.

There was silence in the Soviet camp, there was no movement, and there were no Soviet patrols in front of them.

"It seems that the Su thief thought that we would be trapped in Yecheng, so he was unprepared, this is God help me, I hope the lord will also hurry up and follow ......"

Gao Ran hinted in his heart, so he urged the overseer to continue to move forward, thinking that he could touch it smoothly.

He didn't know that the Soviet army in the dark had long been ready for battle.

How could Su Zhe not prevent them from breaking through.

As early as a few days ago, he received the news that Dong Zhuo had launched an attack on Bingzhou and that Cao Cao was marching from Liaodong to Youzhou, and knew that it was impossible for Yuan Shao's two-way reinforcements to rush to Yecheng to relieve the siege.

Su Zhe expected that Yuan Shao would not dare to defend Yecheng to the death, and would definitely break through.

Therefore, he arranged a large number of eyes and ears around Yecheng in advance to reconnoiter the enemy's movements at all times.

Not long after Gao Lan's headquarters left the city, Su Zhe received information and concluded that Yuan Shao wanted to break through, so he immediately gathered troops and horses, and waited for Yuan Shao to throw himself into the net.

"Duke Chu, the enemy army has already sent it to the door by itself, what are you waiting for, the whole army will do its best and destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop." Yan Liang couldn't wait to fight.

The generals on the left and right are all in a fighting spirit, eager to kill.

Su Zhe was not so excited, but a trace of suspicion flashed between his eyebrows.

Yuan Shao just broke through like this, did he really break through from the West Gate?

With deep suspicion in his heart, he closed his eyes, connected the weather satellite with brain waves, and ordered the infrared radiation of the entire Yecheng to be scanned immediately.

Seconds later, the quantum weather satellite sent back a thermal image.

Su Zhe smiled.
