Chapter 489: The Tragic Guard

Compared with the state army besieging the city wall, the defenders in the city found that their blade armor was too poor, not to mention that the blades were a little rusty, and most of the armor was tattered.

Even if the commander of the guard will win the hearts of the army and be able to speak well, in such a completely asymmetrical battle, the fighting spirit of the defenders is gradually lost.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" This roar made some of the frightened defenders hurriedly discard the blades in their hands, for fear of attracting misunderstanding from the state army.

"My lord, the state army is strong, go quickly." The general holds his fists.

Wei Chang sighed: "This official is the county commander of Wenxi, and he should live and die with Wenxi." ”

The general clasped his fists and said, "Take care, my lord!" Yan Bi discarded the blade in his hand and stood aside.

"You ......" The commander of the guard was speechless, originally thought that his bold words would make the general swear to follow, and then the defenders burst out with strong combat effectiveness and drove the state army off the city wall in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect the general to simply put down the blade in his hand and give up resistance.

"My lord, it's not that my subordinates are unwilling to work hard, but the four city gates are all blocked, even if my subordinates want to take my lord away from Wenxi, it's very difficult to do it." The general said helplessly, this is also the disadvantage of completely blocking the city gate, once the enemy army captures the city wall, they will become the turtle in the urn, there is no way out, either to fight to the death, or to surrender, more people will choose the latter, ordinary soldiers, the most concerned is their own lives, the city changes the owner, as long as they can live, the sentence that the soldier dies for his confidant is not for them, they are not soldiers, they are ordinary soldiers.

The guard chief hung his head helplessly, he had seen more and more soldiers give up resistance, squatting in one place under the order of the Bingzhou army, and the soldiers around him, after the generals gave up resistance, actually aimed their eyes at him, he is Wenxi's county order, it is the Wei Chang who sticks to Wenxi, as long as the Wei Chang is dedicated to the Bingzhou army, it is a great merit.

Several soldiers glanced at each other and scrambled towards the Captain of the Guard.

The swords and guns in front of him also made Wei Chang's heart feel like ashes, he knew that Wen Xi was finished, no matter what happened to Anyi, Wen Xi was broken by the Bingzhou army.

After taking control of the city walls, Wei Yan immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gates.

Removing the boulders piled up at the city gate also made the Bingzhou army spend a lot of effort, and at the same time admired the Wei Changlai, such an act was completely with the idea of co-living and dying with Wenxi.

After the army entered the city, it quickly occupied the government office and the four city gates, and groups of soldiers patrolled the streets, and the resistance of the defenders in the city was almost none.

After Wei Yan entered the city, he was surprised to find that many people's houses were demolished, so that there was a source for so many sassalwood piled up above and below the city, I have to say that this guard commander is really hard enough, in order to guard Wen Xi, not only the city gate was completely sealed, but also the people's houses were demolished, do the people have no opinion on this?

Among the government offices, Wei Yan was at the top, and looked coldly at the bloodstained guard chief, "The traitor doesn't know the destiny of heaven, and he actually resisted the army of Bingzhou, and someone is coming, pull this person out and behead the public." ”

Chen Lan stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "General, the commander of the guard has a lot of prestige in Wenxi, and the people in the city trust him very much, if he is willing to join our army, it will play a very important role in occupying Wenxi." ”

Wei Yan nodded, and immediately showed a smile that he thought was kind, "Commander Wei, General Ben asked you, are you willing to surrender?" ”

Wei Chang snorted coldly: "This official is the order of Wenxi County, how can he be in the company of thieves, if he wants to kill, he must listen to the respect, and you will not be a traitor for long, and attack Hedong without authorization, aren't you afraid of the Holy Lord's condemnation?" These words have also been brewed by Wei Chang for a long time, and he wants to say it righteously when the state army is trying to win him over, even if he loses Wenxi, if Anyi is still in the hands of Wang Yi, his family in Anyi City will not be blamed.

Wei Yan's face immediately turned gloomy, and he shouted, "Behead this person for public display!" ”

Chen Lan also glanced at the Wei Chang helplessly, but she didn't expect that the Wei Chang, who had been quiet, turned out to be a hard bone, but he also called the Bingzhou Army a traitor, it would be strange if such a person could survive.

As if he had seen through the Wei Chief's thoughts, Chen Lan stepped forward and whispered: "Anyi City was breached a few days ago, and the Holy Order is in the hands of the Marquis of Jin!" ”

Wei Chang's face suddenly turned depressed, and there was no need for Chen Lan to lie to him at this time, after all, he was a dying man, and his efforts and persistence came to naught, and all he had in his heart was loss and despair.

When the head of the guard chief hung on the city gate, it also caused a great panic among the people, and the head of the guard treated the people quite generously in Wenxi, and was a rare good official in the hearts of the people, but this is such a person, because the guard Wenxi died under the butcher's knife of the Bingzhou army, and then the people also thought of the various atrocities of the Bingzhou army in the past, and the fear in their hearts can be imagined.

When the army first entered the city, it did not offend the people in the city, which made many people feel relieved, but now the death of the guard commander is a reminder to them.

Some people even wept bitterly at the city gate, these people are people who have received the favor of the guard, and under the drive of these people, more and more people are participating in it, and their feelings are also very complicated, not only are they crying for the guard, but they are not worried about their own safety.

Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, and the people dared to cry bitterly for the dead guard chief at the city gate, and these people would undoubtedly become chaotic people.

Without waiting for Wei Yan's order, Chen Lan stepped forward and said: "General, the commander of the guard is quite prestigious in the city, if he drives the people away, I am afraid it will cause more panic among the people, the Marquis of Jin has always been generous to the people, judging from the news from Anyi, the people of Anyi have gradually trusted the Bingzhou army." ”

Wei Yan was silent, he suddenly thought that he was in the Bingzhou army, how the people of Bingzhou lived, he saw it with his own eyes, and sometimes he couldn't believe that the people had such a good relationship with the soldiers, and what unfair treatment they received, they would ask the soldiers patrolling the streets for help, and the soldiers were also kind and pleasant, in the eyes of the people, he even felt cordial, such a scene had never been encountered in Jingzhou.

"Ziyuan, what do you think?" Wei Yan asked.

"General, our army has just broken through Wenxi, and now there are still many cities in Hedong that are not in the hands of our army, the most important thing is to stabilize the people's hearts, so that the people gradually trust and state the army, you might as well order the Wei Chang to be buried thickly, so that the people's hearts can be reassured." Chen Landao.

"I'll leave this matter to Ziyuan." Wei Yan said.
