Chapter 297: Nanpi
The two armies were not ambiguous, fighting together in the fierce sound of war drums, Wen Chou was very anxious, and marched with the drums vigorously, completely ignoring the life and death of the soldiers, and several generals who were cowering were beheaded by Wen Chou on the spot. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The two armies fought fiercely until dusk, and the Wen Chou army failed to advance a mile.
At this time, Nanpi was already in Jiang Shengjun's pocket, the Qingzhou battalion led by Zhang He was not afraid of death, even if the flesh and blood were blurred by the hot oil poured on the city, they still groped to attack the city, and those soldiers who were on fire directly hugged the defenders at the head of the city, and let the flames burn themselves and the enemy. Chu Yan's cavalry reinforced to the north gate at this time, and was storming the city gate with rushing chariots.
Han Meng led the army to block the city gate, and Chu Yan's army fought each other across the city gate, but the city head had been breached, and thousands of Qingzhou battalion soldiers boarded the city head, and then continued to expand the scope of control, and the defenders were killed and wounded.
Zhang He saw that the Qingzhou battalion was so brave, and he also led his soldiers to climb the city on the ladder, and on the battlefield at the east gate, Gao Shun ordered his soldiers to wear heavy armor, no matter how the defenders of the city moved, there was only one goal: to break through the city gate!
No matter how strong the city gate is, it can't withstand the rush of thousands of soldiers, and soon Gao Shun's army also broke through the east gate, and the crossbowmen guarding the city gate saw that the city gate had been broken, and hurriedly raised a short crossbow to shoot, but Gao Shunjun was heavily armored, and was not afraid of this short crossbow with a little less strength, and shouted "Trapped!" Trapped! β
Just like the tanks of later generations, they attacked bravely, and the soldiers guarding the east gate had never seen the heavily armored infantry who were not afraid of crossbow arrows, and many of them were so frightened that they forgot to retreat, and they were all cut into pulp by Gao Shun's heavy infantry.
When Yuan Shao learned that the city was broken, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground, and the left and right guards hurriedly pinched him. Yuan Shaoxing turned around and said to the people around him: "Today's disaster is my own fault, no wonder you." Now that the city is broken, flee for yourselves. β
Feng Ji said: "Lord, now that Nanpi is irretrievable, let's all escape, stay alive, and it is not difficult to make a comeback." β
Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "The world is so big, where can I be accommodated?" Go away, and I'll stay here and confess." β
Guo Tu said: "What a hero the lord was back then, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, please leave Nanpi with us and live for the time being." The old protΓ©gΓ© of the lord is all over the world, and he will definitely be able to make a comeback, and he must not give up on himself because of today's defeat. β
Yuan Shao pulled out his sword and put it across his neck and said, "If you don't leave, then collect the body for me!" β
Seeing that Yuan Shao was so resolute, everyone wiped their tears and said goodbye, but Guo Tu resolutely refused to leave, and said: "The soldier dies for his confidant, and the lord treats me like a mountain, at this moment, I would rather die than leave!" β
Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? β
Guo Tu said: "It is difficult for subordinates to repay the grace of the lord with ten thousand deaths!" β
Yuan Shao said: "The public is loyal and righteous, how can I Yuan Shao be virtuous, I can have you with you in life and death!" As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down for Guo Tu and said: "I have three sons, Tan, Xi, and Shang, and if they fall into the hands of Jiang Sheng, it will be difficult to survive. β
Guo Tu was shocked, he already knew what Yuan Shao meant, and hurriedly helped Yuan Shao up, crying: "Don't worry, but teach me that Guo Tu has a breath, he must take care of the three sons, and he will definitely avenge the Lord in the future!" β
Yuan Shao said: "Revenge? Don't think so, sir. After you take them away, you have to go incognito, return to the mountains and forests, and live a plain life. Jiang Sheng is a hero in the world, there are countless capable people under his command, there are many generals, revenge is impossible, I Yuan Shao can't be without a queen! β
The master and servant parted between life and death in this city, and Yuan Shao handed over the token of the seal ribbon to Guo Tu, who hurriedly went down the city and went straight to Yuan's mansion.
After Zhang He and Gao Shun's armies entered the city, they immediately sent someone to inform Xu Huang, who ordered his troops and horses, marched lightly, entered Nanpi City from the south gate, and then started a street battle.
Jiang Sheng detailed the training plan for street fighting in the training outline of the training base, and the soldiers under Xu Huang's command were familiar with street fighting and launched operations after entering the city, while other soldiers and horses who were proficient in field warfare took over the defense of Nanpi County and its periphery.
All kinds of soldiers and horses fought fiercely in the city all night, and it was not over until dawn, Xu Huang led his personal guards to search for Yuan Shao, but saw that Yuan's mansion was already empty, and even the servants were gone.
Xu Huang felt that it was impossible for Yuan Shao to escape from the city, so he closed the city gate, organized the soldiers to search for him in the city, and searched for a long time, only to find that Yuan Shao had already killed himself in the battlement tower at the head of the city.
Xu Huang shook his head, he didn't expect that Yuan Shao, who was famous for a while, would end up like this. The illustrious background of the fourth world and the third duke, the leader of the alliance of the princes, actually killed himself, which is really a hero's end, and it is embarrassing.
Yuan Shao was dead, Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to prepare a good coffin, put Yuan Shao's body into the burial, and then searched for Yuan Shao's family again, and the search was unsuccessful for two days, so he had to give up the search, and then send someone to report to Jiang Sheng.
Fifty miles south of Nanpi County, Wen Choujun was dragged by Zhao Yunjun, stayed in place for three days, and got the news that Nanpi City was broken and Yuan Shao was killed.
Wen Chou ordered the whole army to wrap white silk on their heads, to avenge Yuan Shao, and launched an attack on Zhao Yunjun in the afternoon, Zhao Yun commanded the Xuanjia cavalry to respond calmly, and took out the essence of the Xuanjia cavalry training over the years.
Although Wen Chou's army was indignant, but after all, the combat strength was a cut worse, and the three attacks were all defeated, Lu Xiang and Jiang Yiqu persuaded bitterly, but Wen Chou did not listen, and still asked all departments to attack.
The various departments with heavy casualties were unwilling to continue to send them to death, so in the night, Lu Xiang and Jiang Yiqu led people to directly tie up Wen Chou and send him to Zhao Yun's camp, and then ordered the whole army to surrender.
Zhao Yun sent half of the soldiers and horses into the Wenchou camp and officially took over, as for the troops under Wenchou, they performed their duties, stayed in the camp and stood by, and then sent the good news to Yecheng.
Jiang Sheng was overjoyed after seeing the battle report: "The officers and men of all armies used their lives to achieve today's great victory." Wen Ruo, transfer gold and silver from the Jizhou treasury, and reward the three armies to show his merits! β
Xun Yu got the order, and Jiang Sheng said again: "Although Yuan Shao went astray, but for the Han family, he is also a loyal minister, and he should be buried thickly, you arrange to send Yuan Shao's body back to the Yuan family in Ruyang, and bury it with the gift of the marquis; Zhen Yan, you send someone to find the whereabouts of Yuan Shao's heir, look at his words and deeds, if it can be used, then report to Wen Ruo, arrange official positions, give them a way out, if they are cowardly and incompetent, give them a few acres of fertile land, let them spend the rest of their lives in peace. β
Zhen Yan said: "Lord, the grass must be eradicated, if they are spared, the third son of Yuan Shao will become a big disaster in the future!" β
Xi Zhicai, Shi Tao and others also seconded the proposal and persuaded Jiang Sheng to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Jiang Sheng said: "Although Yuan Shao is hateful, his sin is not as good as his family. The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family can be regarded as loyal and good, so let's leave him behind. β
Xun Yu said: "The benevolence of the lord is the blessing of the people of the world!" β
