Chapter 277: Breaking the City

Since Yuan Chonghuan returned, he immediately asked the defenders to strengthen the city walls.

At the same time, the camps of soldiers and horses from all walks of life were planning and arranging how to attack the city.

In fact, as early as when he first arrived in Pengcheng, people from all walks of life also thought about forming an alliance, but they did not succeed because of the choice of the alliance leader.

Zhu Jun holds his own seniority, and his official position wants to be the leader of the alliance, plus Jingzhou Huang Zu is strong and ambitious, but Cao Bin, Xu Huang, and Sun Ce will not agree, Cao Bin's Yanzhou army is even better in terms of strength, and Xu Huang represents Liu Bian, and Zhu Jun represents Liu Xie, how can the two sides compromise, and Sun Ce is dissatisfied with everyone.

Soon the first siege battle began, and the four gates attacked at the same time.

The army that obscured the sky and the sun poured into the walls of Pengcheng.

To say that Yuan Chonghuan is definitely a master of defending the city, he is one person who commands the defense of the four gates and blocks the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, which is really amazing.

For several days in a row, Yuan Chonghuan withstood the ferocious attacks of the princes' armies, on the city wall, under the city wall, outside the city, inside the city, corpses were everywhere, and countless soldiers and people died in this battle.

It's a pity that everything changed on the seventh day, and this time it was still Cao Jun who changed the tide of the battle.

Cao Jun brought his new weapon, catapults, and dozens of catapults were laid in front of Cao Jun's formation that day. At the sound of an order, countless boulders flew towards the castle tower.

The huge destructive power made Yuan Jun tremble, a big stone down, if smashed into the pile, several people were often killed on the spot, in addition to the huge power of the boulder, some aging battlements suffered a huge blow, and some could not bear it and collapsed directly.

However, fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan quickly stabilized the situation and quickly organized people to build the city wall.

After using catapults to bomb indiscriminately, he made people spread rumors and bewitched the determination of the soldiers and civilians of Pengcheng to defend the city, day and night.

At such a critical moment, Yuan Chonghuan is not easy to control at all, and once he uses force to suppress it, it is easy to cause a mutiny.

Because of the pressure brought by Cao Bin, Yuan Chonghuan focused on the West Gate and couldn't get out, and slowly the other three doors also became dangerous.

This battle lasted for a month, and it was not over, but it was not far from the end, and the soldiers defending the city in Pengcheng had no fighting spirit and determination, and the city was broken.

On this day, early in the morning, the siege army of the four major city gates was ready to launch the last assault.

The city is broken, just today.

"Soldiers, destroy the rebellion, bring back Yuan Shu's head to your majesty, add officials to the knighthood, and make contributions today." Before the battle, Xu Huang began to agitate the army.

Today, Xu Huang will also become a member of the siege army, in the past he commanded in the back, today he will personally go to the battlefield.

"Knock, knock, knock......" drums beat in unison.

"Kill! Kill! ”

The battle began, and the four gates began to attack in unison.

Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to the precarious walls of Pengcheng.

In the palace, there was chaos, and palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and concubines fled everywhere to rob treasures.

In the Jinluan Palace, Yuan Shu sat on the newly made dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe that had just been made for a short time, with a decadent face, the demeanor of the past, invisible, panicked, scared, and all kinds of expressions.

"Your Majesty, quickly withdraw, Pengcheng is already in danger." One of Yuan Chonghuan's generals came to the Jinluan Palace to persuade Yuan Shu to retreat.

"Yes, yes, retreat, go, go." Yuan Shu, who was in fear, seemed to have found a way out, and hurriedly got up from the dragon chair, stumbling and almost falling to the ground, embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's go!" The panicked Yuan Shu shouted to his subordinates.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Yuan Shu left the Jinluan Palace.

"My beloved concubine, my treasure!" At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly remembered his concubine Feng, and the treasures he had accumulated over the years.

"Your Majesty, stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, your life is at stake, Your Majesty, withdraw quickly, it's too late if you don't leave." The subordinate generals persuaded.

Indeed, as he said, now Pengcheng has not been completely defeated, and there is still a part of the city wall in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, if it is withdrawn now, there may still be a glimmer of life.

"No way!" Yuan Shu flatly refused.

"You, go and bring my concubine immediately, you, go and bring my treasure immediately!" Yuan Shujie pointed at the two generals in succession and ordered.

"Your Majesty......" The two did not move, thinking about persuading Yuan Shu.

But Yuan Shao didn't know how to listen, only to see him pull out the long sword at his waist and roar angrily, "Go quickly, otherwise I will kill you with a sword." ”

The two generals had no choice but to comply, and left with some soldiers.

"Why are you still stunned, don't take me away!" Yuan Shu looked at the soldiers on the side and shouted.

"No!"

In an instant, the soldiers escorted Yuan Shu to a safe place.

East City Gate,

Yuan Chonghuan led the remnants of the team and fought Cao Jun in the final battle.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Countless shouts of killing, as time passed, more and more people fell in pools of blood, blood stained the city wall blood-red, countless corpses piled up, broken weapons, tattered battle flags, everywhere.

One hour, two hours...... Finally, the battle was over, and the Yuan army was annihilated, leaving Yuan Chonghuan alone to stand in the middle of the battlefield with difficulty, surrounded by Cao army soldiers.

A hole was opened in the encirclement of the Cao army, and a general wearing armor and extraordinary bravery walked in.

"Yuan Chonghuan surrenders, you have great talent, Yuan Shu is not the master, my lord, ambitious, broad-minded, resourceful, talented, if you surrender, this will definitely be recommended for you, with your ability to be able to wait for the general. How is it, Yuan Chonghuan, are you willing to surrender? Cao Bin stared at Yuan Chonghuan and persuaded.

"A good woman doesn't marry a second husband, and a loyal minister is not a second master. I, Yuan Chonghuan, have lived a bright and upright life, how can I be greedy for life and fear death, betray my lord for glory, and be this disloyal and unrighteous person! Yuan Chonghuan said angrily.

"Yuan Chonghuan, are you really not going to surrender?" Cao Bin stared at Yuan Chonghuan and shouted in a deep voice.

"It's better to be broken than to be broken!"

"Okay, you Yuan Chonghuan is a man, after you die, I will leave a whole corpse for you." Cao Bin said solemnly.

"Okay, thank you general, Yuan wants to know the general's name, I don't know if you can tell me?" Yuan Chonghuan's face exuded the smile and spirit of the past at this time.

"Ben General Cao Bin!" Cao Bin replied immediately.

"General Cao Bin, thank you!" Yuan Chonghuan had a smile on his face, but unfortunately this was his last smile.

I saw Yuan Chonghuan, waving the sword in his hand and putting it on his neck.

"Lord, the last general will go first!" Yuan Chonghuan looked up to the sky and shouted, and at the same time, the blade slashed, and he died.

At the same time, Yuan Shu, who was fleeing everywhere, seemed to feel something, and looked back at the east gate.

"Your Majesty, let's go, don't delay!" The guard next to him persuaded.

"My beloved concubine is here?" Yuan Shu did not ask Yuan Chonghuan, but asked his woman.

"Your Majesty, don't wait, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid your life is in danger!" When the guard saw Yuan Shu say this, he was very angry in his heart, but he still persuaded him.

"No, I have to wait for Concubine Ai!" Yuan Shu flatly refused.

"Your Majesty, I will be offended!" The guards were furious.

"Someone, take Your Majesty away!" ordered someone to forcibly take Yuan Shu away.

In an instant, several soldiers stepped forward and left with Yuan Shu!

"I won't leave, I will wait for my concubine, wait for my treasure!" Yuan Shu shouted loudly, splashing and rolling like a child.

As everyone knows, Yuan Shu's shouts are bringing disaster to this team, and not far from them, there are two armies nearby.

One of the teams was Sun Ce's men and horses, and after hearing the voice, Sun Ce immediately asked his subordinates to move closer to Yuan Shu, and the other team was Xu Huang's men and horses, and after hearing the sound, Xu Huang immediately ordered people to move closer.

Finally, not long after, the two teams met Yuan Shu and others one after another, one in front and one in the back.

"Yuan Shu, surrender quickly!" Xu Huang and Sun Ce shouted at the same time.

Seeing the two groups of people, Yuan Shu panicked.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Under the shouting of the main guard, the few soldiers of the Yuan army surrounded Yuan Shu and protected him behind him.

Not far away, Tai Shi Ci took out his bow and arrows, stretched out his bow and set up arrows, and shot arrows in an instant, and the arrows hit the guards he commanded before.

This peerless arrow made Yuan Shu and the other guards nervous.

"Kill!" Sun Ce was not to be left behind, and with an order, Jiangdong soldiers and horses immediately rushed towards Yuan Shu and the others.

"Up!" Xu Huang still did not forget Liu Wei's instructions, and immediately ordered someone to step forward to snatch Yuan Shu.
