Chapter 723: The Wind Rises

Rumble!

On a section of the city wall, the wall battlements cracked under the bombardment of stone bullets, twisted and broke loudly with debris falling down the city wall, Xu Huang pushed back with a gray face, several guards under his command held a large shield to seal the front and the top of the head tightly, the flying stone chips, the falling arrows hit the iron sheet, and then bounced away, the shouts and roars of the surrounding soldiers never stopped, and the archers with quivers on their backs stood up again from behind the shield soldiers and the wall battlements, and threw their bows towards the bottom of the city wall.

Siege warfare is not a field formation, or breaking into the enemy formation to capture the flag, at this time, Xu Huang, in the role of a greater degree to maintain morale, military morale, the middle generals and colonels command their respective troops to guard the city they are responsible for, but at present, they have never experienced such a 'shameless' tactics.

Arrows rained down on the city.

There were more stone bullets mixed in with it that streaked across the sky, dozens, hundreds, and rocks the size of millstones fell into the piles of people running, smashing into pieces of figures, some of which were directly bombarded on the soldiers' shields, and even the people with shields pressed on the ground and rolled several times to pull out a long dark red blood blanket.

"Bow and arrow—"

Pushing away the shield in front of him, Xu Huang drew his knife and slashed out, and when a feather arrow broke under his feet, he shouted hysterically: "-Fight back!" ”

In the distance, the towering torsional rubble squeaks continued to creak and even one or two of them were operated too often, and the beams broke and collapsed. The Roman auxiliaries who had obtained the Han nationality seized the time to repair under the reprimand of the commander, and under the banner a little farther away, the overseer Marcusius looked at the white giant wolf banner with some uneasiness at the occurrence of such a thing, and thousands of troops were guarding there, and the wolf king, who held this huge army and horse, sat on a chair under the shade of the tree, looking at the fierce city wall like a flame.

"Yu Poison in the west is almost ready, send him an order, attack the west wall of Yecheng, I want to see the wolf flag hanging on the head of the city before dark!"

The wolf head embedded in the shoulder armor roared like teeth, and in the deep voice, Gongsun Zhi sat under the tree with a golden knife, his hands pressed his knees, the whole person seemed to melt into the shadows, the guard wolf rode left and right, and the formation was in an arc, and on both sides of him were Dian Wei and Li Ke standing, in front of them were stone bullets falling like raindrops to the city wall, countless figures were struggling, running, and fighting back in the falling stones, and everyone desperately resisted, wanting to hold on to the city section in the storm.

During this time, he did not go all out to attack the city, after learning that Cao Cao was seriously ill and retreated back to Xudu, he was also testing along the way to see if the other party had a trick to ambush him, or to attack the baggage in the rear after a roundabout, but such a slow speed to get down the army to Yecheng, he had already been convinced of the fact that Cao Cao was indeed seriously ill, so he made a change in the plan to go south last month, as much as possible without soldiers attacking the city, wanting to delay a little time, once waiting until Xu Du completely exploded in panic and uneasiness, Then at present, the entire Jizhou will no longer need a single soldier to be completely taken.

"Gongsun Zhi! You can't take Yecheng, how can Xu Huang be as unbearable as me-"

"Lord ...... will soon return to the north with his troops, and you will be defeated like Yuan Benchu and flee back to Youzhou to die!!"

……

The sound of roaring and scolding came from the mouth of the two bound Cao generals not far away, it was Li Dian and Le Jin who guarded Wei County and Yin'an, 100,000 soldiers and horses went south, and the cavalry that went first directly cut off the communication between the two cities, with Liaodong infantry as the main force, Guo Yan's Xiliang army covered and forcibly landed in the city, and it was taken in one afternoon, when Le Jin abandoned the city and fled, he was shot off his horse by Zhao Yun and became a prisoner, and Li Dian was directly swept by Huang Zhong with the back of the knife at the head of the city and fell unconscious.

Gongsun Zhi, who was sitting on the chair, only glanced at the two of them occasionally and ignored them. At this time, on the edge of the stretching Northland army, the scouts intercepted several fast horses from the south, examined the letters, and hurried towards the Chinese army. Li Ke then also received it, did not dare to slack off, and walked over quickly.

"Chief, Nan Urgent, it's Cao Cao's people."

The wolf king, who was looking at the city wall, retracted his gaze, opened the silk and took a look, then put it away, and then the person leaning on the back of the chair also fell silent, expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Dian and Le Jin were still roaring, but Gongsun Zhi slowly stood up, and his cloak stroked the chair and dragged him to the ground.

"Gongsun Zhi, there is a kind of killing me-"

"..... me Li Dian....." The words stopped, and the tall figure covered it, blocking the sunlight, and Gongsun Zhi's expression could not be seen under the shadow, but he slowly pulled out the blade along his arm, and then, with a knife, slashed down-

The rope that bound him was broken and fell to the ground, Li Dian was stunned for a moment, then bounced up violently, and swung his fist towards the opposite side, and his hand was only half a distance, and he was pinched by a thick palm, and the terrifying force lifted his whole person off the ground, and when he was hung in mid-air, he listened to Gongsun Zhi's voice that was so flat that there was no emotion.

"You ..... go to Xuchang with me."

The voice drifted away. Soon after, the attack of stone bullets at the head of the city gradually stopped, and the Cao soldiers in the city sat on the ground to rest for a moment, until the afternoon when the sky showed a dim color, and the army outside the city shot a letter to inform them of the news that Cao Cao was critically ill, and Xu Huang tore the message and threw it down the city wall: "This is Gongsun's plan to stop attacking the heart, don't be fooled!" ”

The soldiers continued to rest, and he walked at the head of the city, gritting his teeth.

"Lord...... Lord ......"

The remnant sun is like blood.

The choked voice was extremely low, looking at the direction of Xuchang in the south, reading over and over again, outside the city, the red of the west slope shone on the earth, and Xu Huang saw a 10,000-strong cavalry running south......

********

In the red glow, two long soldiers clashed in mid-air, splashing sparks.

Si Li, Yu Cheng.

In the countless sights above and below the city, two war horses, one red and one yellow, staggered, the sound of gold and iron exploded in the air, the curly-haired red rabbit turned back, with her back to the city wall, and the woman reined in with a halberd: "What does Uncle think of Lingqi's martial arts now?" ”

"It's qualified." Zhang Liao put away his sword and nodded, "But if you want to take Yucheng, it's not just martial arts, and when the time comes, my uncle won't be soft." ”

Lu Lingqi glanced back at the city wall behind her, as well as the three generals Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, and Song Xian above, "Uncle, look, they are all from my state, and so are you." She turned her head and urged the horse to slowly approach the past: "Why do the people of Bingzhou want to fight with the people of Bingzhou, when my father and uncle followed a group of brothers to follow Jianyang Gong out of Bingzhou, didn't they shed enough blood?" ”

"This is different, Liao is now a Cao general, and all the brothers on the city wall are also Cao family generals, not like a child playing right and wrong, Lingqi, don't you understand?!"

"It's you who don't understand—"

As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, a majestic and majestic voice came out from the Xiliang army array behind him, he hurriedly rode his horse back, and opened the array, a black and majestic horse slowly came out, the iron hooves stepped on the ground and made a tinkling sound, and the figure sitting on the reins on it was as tall and mighty as he remembered, the golden lock beast face swallowed the head armor, and the waist carried a Han sword with a thick arm, when the cloak swayed with the wind, it stood in front of people like a mountain, and there was an insurmountable illusion.

"Feng Xian......" he called softly.

The knight who came over stopped at a distance of two feet, the mountain wind stroked the gray hair, a pair of thick eyebrows were inserted under the sideburns, and looked at Zhang Liao with majestic eyes: "Wen Yuan, if the situation has changed today, it's time to make a choice, keep dragging it down like this, in the future, your children and grandchildren will live in this world of beacon fire, human life is as cheap as grass, you said that they will know in the future that they will have the opportunity to live in a peaceful and prosperous world, but they missed it, will they hate you?" ”

“.…... If the world continues to be chaotic like this, how many of the brothers who once came out of the state with us will be able to pay back? Wen Yuan, we have fought enough battles in this life, don't let our juniors follow this path, you don't want them to die on such a battlefield one day in the future, right? We can't repeat what we've suffered! ”

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, who was trembling slightly, calmly, and after that, he raised his head to look at the city wall, and his voice suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice: "....... Where am I and my son! ”

With a pull on the reins, the horse ran under the city, and the majestic voice shouted again.

"Where is the son of the state—"

"Where is the son of the state—"

On the quiet city wall, a soldier of Minghe Prefecture looked at the figure running below, Cheng Lian smashed his fist on the battlement, and responded loudly: "Cheng Lian is here!" ”

Immediately after, Wei Yue also shouted loudly: "--The last general Wei Yue is here!" ”

All around, the dense soldiers and captains heard the shouts of the generals, put away the weapons and bows that were originally aimed below, and then raised them above their heads, their eyes were changing into strong emotions, and the huge voice turned into a stream, roaring out at this moment.

"The people of the state are here—"

The clouds were shaken.

Zhang Liao slowly arched his hand, and said in a slow voice: "Zhang Liao ...... in Bingzhou" and then fell categorically: "-Here!" ”

……

Xu Du, a group of families sent their eyes and ears to gather to listen to the situation, constantly choosing to stand in line, wanting to maximize their own interests, some people married and entangled into a big force, and some people chose imperial power to get rid of the remnants of the Cao family, and the storm surged for a while.

In the Yang Mansion, the old man refused to come to the door of the officials and wealthy families, entered the door again and closed the door, and even stopped Yang Xiu at the general's house, the wind and waves he experienced were very comparable, looking at the outline of the imperial city, he vaguely felt that in addition to changing the sky, there should be a conspiracy hidden under the light of this sunset.....

Cao Mansion, between the courtyard garden full of flowers, the beautiful woman sits on the edge of the pool and watches the cheerful fish in the water, occasionally she drags down the lotus shoes, revealing her delicate and white ankles, touching the water surface, waving a circle of ripples, and her beautiful eyes glance in a certain direction from time to time, revealing a charming state.

The young man hiding behind the rockery was stunned at this moment, and returned to the study in a restless mood, recalling that scene, his whole body was hot, and soon after, he wrote an article...... It's called "Luo Shen Fu".

In the Golden Palace, the Son of Heaven sat majestically to accept the worship of all the civil and military forces, and he finally felt like an emperor without Cao Cao in the court......

In the afternoon at the end of the month, all the people and all the things were happening and converging in the city, until the cavalry that came in the setting sun crossed Yanzhou Chenliu and rushed straight at it, and a crack appeared, and then it was all about to fall down in the following day.
