Chapter 544: Doubtful
Boulders fly high into the sky.
Jizhou Yecheng, across the city wall, arrows flying locust-like, in the fighting shouts of the spread of the soldiers, occasionally someone ran and ran with arrows and fell, the fierce attack and defense no one cared about the injured companion, holding a sword and shield across the body of the painful groan, rushing to the wall to fill the vacancy.
The bloody breath penetrated into the nostrils of the people, and the body of Yin Kui was stained with blood, there were enemies, and there were also soldiers under his command, he led a group of generals to run to the city, "If the enemy is cowardly and does not fight, I should kill them myself, and you can't wait to retreatββ"
The hysterical roar passed through the city, and then it was muffled by the sound of higher fighting, outside the continuous city wall, the Cao army climbing the cloud ladder was like an ant colony, and the black pressure surged upward, and the archers formed a formation to continuously suppress the city, protecting the crash below to the city gate. On the city wall, several Yuan soldiers pushed a cauldron down together, the hot gold juice pulled out a long dragon in the vertical fall, and the Cao soldiers who guarded the collision below raised their shields to block them and splashed around, and there were also soldiers who were directly impacted and even the shields were scalded and curled up on the ground and twisted, letting out a terrible scream, and the skin on the face was torn off by themselves in an instant, and it was bloody.
Soon, a flying boulder fell with a thud, and the corpses were thrown off the city with a final scream, and the broken and scattered bricks were still crushed by the stones.
Cao Cao rode on a snow-white war horse, looking at the Shura-like scene, without too many expressions, only occasionally summoning heralds and ordering a few revised orders, more often, he still said to Cao Pi, who was also riding a horse beside him: "...... Last year, his father was forced by Yuan Shao to be in Guandu Tucheng, relying on 20,000 soldiers to defend to the death, with Yanzhou and Yuzhou behind him, and he couldn't retreat...... Fortunately, it persevered. β
In his sight, the soldiers had spread to the city, and he smiled and continued to his son who turned his face: "...... you see, now everything is reversed, and Yuan Shao's debt is also for his son to taste." β
On the city wall that stretched out, the figures of Cao soldiers formed a formation under the supervision of their respective generals and gained a firm foothold, and then launched a more ferocious offensive around, and the defender Yi Kai held the boulders thrown from afar from time to time, leading the team to defend another section of the wall where Cao soldiers stood on it, "Cao will die-"
Screaming, he pounced on the swinging tiger-headed broadsword.
After a while, he was split into two pieces by the tiger idiot Xu Zhu, stepping over the broken corpse, and the tall and fat body erased a piece of flesh and blood on the blade: "It's boring...... Hey? Squinted his eyes and looked at the side of the city tower - although the judge who presided over the defense of the city was a literati, he was a loyal martyr, and he also had many wounds left after the fight, and he was covered in blood, "Who is the guard over there?" Why did Cao Bing stand upβ"
"General Yi was killed in battle, just killed......."
The judge turned his head, and was meeting the sight of the looker, and pointed his sword over: "Everyone stop that Cao general and drive them down." However, his nephew Xianrong came over with someone to support him, and he was about to retreat: "Uncle, go quickly, it's difficult to defend this side anymore, don't lose your life, go with me." β
"Junior-it's a big deal that the city is ruined and people are dying, how can you abandon it!" The judge pushed away his nephew's support, and roared in a hoarse voice with a sword: "If you can die, I can also die!" Dare to die! β
"Uncle!"
The judge fiercely raised his long sword and pressed it against his neck, and he was furious: "If you say another word, I should kill you first!" β
The battle on the city wall spread to this side, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were covered in blood and led people to kill from another section of the city wall, and when they saw Xu Zhu walking with a knife, they pointed to the direction of the city tower: "Zhongkang's side!" Let's kill the past. β
More and more Cao soldiers rushed away.
"General..... it's too late to go."
After the guards of Xianrong said anxiously, Xianrong looked at his uncle's resolute expression, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet for a moment, and withdrew to the inner city wall with the few remaining subordinates.
"Let's go!"
Xianrong naturally didn't want to die, so he hurriedly rushed down the stone steps and ran towards the city.
Behind him, the wind blew through the city, ruffling the old man's hair bun, looking at the skylight, he slowly took a step, and when he stepped on the sticky and slippery blood, his body staggered a little, and the Cao soldiers at both ends of the city wall were splitting into two branches to kill left and right in this direction. The old man climbed up the wall, stood on it and looked back, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others who were only more than ten steps.
At a certain moment, he said, "The Lord is disgraced when he dies, and he should follow it." β
The gray hair stroking in the wind, the body slowly tilted back, and then fell and jumped, outside the city wall, the dense Cao soldiers were still climbing and surging up.......
In the streets of the city, carriages and pedestrians ran around in panic, some hid in their homes and fastened their doors and windows, the former flowery Yecheng was shrouded in chaos, and Xianrong, who had gone down the city wall, led some soldiers through this crowded flow of people, surrounded by countless hesitant eyes looking at him.
Soon after, he led people into Yuan's mansion quickly.
***********
Another side yard.
Yuan Xi woke up from his dream and saw the woman sitting on the edge of the bed, his heart was a little calm, and 'Zhen Mi' reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead for him: "Have you had a nightmare?" It's okay on the other side of the city wall, even if the city is broken, you will have a chance to walk. β
"What about you?"
For nearly a year, Yuan Xi almost treated this girl as a real wife, grabbed the other party's wrist, and got up from the bed: "...... you don't leave with your husband?" Hurriedly got off the bed and took her hand, "You are a woman, what can you do if you stay?" Don't do anything for Gongsun Zhi, just follow me. β
"...... I'm close to losing Zhen Mi...... You're the only one left, go out of town with me and go far away, okay? β
He repeated in a low voice. The girl on the opposite side smiled at him, she looked good with a pair of dimples, she just shook her head, and did not continue the words, at this time, there was a anxious knock on the door, and before Yuan Xi could react, the door had been pushed open.
Yuan Shang strode in in a military uniform: "Second brother, break through with me." Then he looked at the girl in the room, and there was a look of confusion on his face.
"Cao Jun has entered the city? Don't you say that you can at least hold on to the ...... for more than a month" Yuan Xi didn't continue to say this, he just closed his eyes in pain, once Yecheng was broken, his Yuan family would really collapse, originally he didn't compete for the position of inheritance, with a little less infighting, this city could be defended, at least until the eldest brother Yuan Tan arrived, but in fact, he also misestimated Cao Cao's current strength.
Over there, Yuan Shang was only briefly puzzled, so he turned his eyes away from the girl, and at the critical moment, he didn't have the heart to study anything in detail, so he immediately stepped forward and pulled Yuan Xi and walked out: "This matter will be said after the breakthrough, the siege of the North Gate is still weak, and the family members can't take it, so stay in the city for the time being, the second brother will rush out of the shackles with me, go to the eldest brother first, and then recapture Yecheng after rectifying the soldiers and horses." β
When he was about to reach the door, Yuan Xi stopped and shook his head: "I don't want to leave for my brother....."
"I have to go, if I stay in the city, I can only be the soul of Cao Cao's sword, and the Yuan family will die one less than one, how can I start all over again when the time comes, and take my second brother on the horseββ"
At the gate of the courtyard, a soldier came up, directly held Yuan Xi, pushed on horseback, Yuan Xi kept looking back at the gate on the horse, and saw the figure of the girl chasing out, he shouted: "You wait for me!" β
After several teams of soldiers and horses waiting on the long street ushered in Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, they went towards the north gate of Yecheng, and at the rear of the team, Xian Rong did not take his subordinates to follow, he stopped in place for a while, looked at the girl at the door over there, nodded on horseback, and then pulled the reins and went all the way towards the south gate.
"Is it loyal to the minister, the glory has been exhausted....." He swept over the mentally exhausted subordinates behind him and whispered to them, "..... it's time to save your life, let's open the city gates and surrender." β
The city gate was opened near noon, and after Cao Cao received the letter of surrender, he first glanced at Cao Pi beside him, and then issued an order: "The front army enters the city and takes over all defenses." β
On the fifteenth of June, the army entered the city.
