To be honest, in a short period of time, Han Meng was really in a complicated mood, and he thought of a lot in his mind at once.

Han Meng thought of Han Ju who fell into the hands of Zhu Wei, and thought that now Zhu Wei's army had approached Yecheng, and although there were still 20,000 troops in Yecheng, they were also defenseless, if Zhu Weijun forcibly attacked the city, the result would be difficult to know.

Choosing between being a loyal minister who turned the tide or being a hero who was on the verge of battle, Han Meng finally chose to be on the verge of war.

So when he got to the city wall, he directly allowed Wei Yan to bring a song of personal soldiers into the city, and then the school office beside Han Meng also gave Wei Yan a signal to let Wei Yan know that there was already internal cooperation here.

Everything was simple next, Wei Yan entered the city first with a song of personal soldiers, and quickly controlled the gate of the urn city, while Han Meng directly controlled the military marquis defending the city with his personal troops on the city wall, and threatened the surrounding Yuan army to follow him anyway.

In this way, the north gate of Yecheng was broken through by Zhu Weijun, and Wei Yan took the remnants of the high-ranking cadres pretended to be from the Jingnan battalion and directly entered the northern city.

Soon Zhu Weijun controlled the north gate of the entire Yecheng, and then Zhu Weijun on the one hand divided 8,000 troops led by Wei Yan himself, followed Han Meng to kill the inner city of Yecheng where Yuan Shao was located, and on the other hand, Jiang Wan garrisoned the north city with 5 or 6,000 troops, waiting for Zhang Yan to come over with the Montenegrin army to reinforce the follow-up.

After all, there are still 20,000 Yuan troops stationed in this Yecheng, not including the nearly 3,000 personal guards around Yuan Shao, and most of these troops are also stationed around the inner city of Yecheng where Yuan Shao is located.

Now, in addition to the nearly 8,000 troops stationed at the four gates of Yecheng on rotation, there are at least 15,000 troops stationed in the inner city area of Yecheng.

Among them, Yuan Shao's 3,000 personal guards were directly stationed in the inner city, and the other 12,000 troops were stationed in the barracks on both sides of the inner city, so if you want to take Yecheng as quickly as possible, you need to attack the inner city as soon as possible to capture Yuan Shao.

As for Han Meng, although he is now regarded as a general who Yuan Shang stayed in Yecheng and has the right to patrol the city temporarily, in fact, the army he can control is only a group of 500 soldiers directly under him.

The rest of the military power is in the hands of Xu You, who stayed behind, if it encounters an attack by a foreign enemy, Han Meng can only temporarily have the right to command the defense in a city gate area, and as for the other transfer rights, it can only be transferred by Xu You after reporting to Xu You.

Only then did Han Meng take his own troops to help Zhu Weijun control the North Gate, and then forced down more than 1,000 of the 2,000 defenders at the North Gate and followed Han Meng, which can be regarded as following Han Meng in front of the battle anyway.

But there were still nearly 1,000 Yuan troops who had fled along the city wall, or along the main street in the city, shouting that Yecheng was attacked and that the foreign enemy was attacking.

So what Han Meng can do now is to take Wei Yan to the inner city, assist Wei Yan to persuade the Yuan army on this side, and help Wei Yan attack the inner city, but when Han Meng takes Wei Yan to kill the inner city, this side has already made defensive preparations.

It turned out that this time Wei Yan pretended to be a remnant of the Gao Cadre Army to deceive the door, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and Wei Yan also wanted to take advantage of the twilight sky to make the Yuan army guarding the city not see a little flaw in his own army pretending to be a high cadre army.

According to the information provided by Zhu Wei's military academy, Xu Yu had already returned to the mansion at this time, and he was eating, drinking, and having fun.

The school office even gathered some manpower, that is, they were preparing to rob and kill the heralds who came to inform Xu You, and even took the initiative to assassinate Xu You when Xu You went out of the palace to command the overall situation, so as to prevent Xu You from going to the inner city to command Yuan's army to counterattack.

In this way, the Yuan army in Yecheng can fall into a situation where no one is commanding after being attacked, which will naturally make it easier for Wei Yan and Zhang Yan to sneak attack Yecheng.

But the facts often don't go according to plan, and today is a coincidence, the seriously ill Yuan Shao has recovered some of his spirit today, and Xu Yu has been asking about the battle situation on Liyang's side and various trivial matters in the inner city palace.

As a result, when Wei Yan led his troops to attack the north gate of Yecheng, Xu You still stayed in the inner city and did not leave, and the defeated soldiers on the north side hurriedly ran to warn, and Xu You happened to know the situation at the first time.

Later, Xu You first assigned the surrounding troops to firmly guard the inner city, and then sent people to find Yuan Shang as soon as possible.

After all, now that Zhu Weijun has broken through the north gate of Yecheng, the situation in Yecheng is critical.

This is the emergency message that Yuan Shang received from Yecheng later, but the situation on Yecheng's side is obviously no longer something that Yuan Shang can rescue.

When Wei Yan and Han Meng led their troops to the inner city, the Yuan army had already defended on this side, and even under Xu You's assignment, another member of the Yuan army, Jiao Touch, led 6,000 Yuan troops to directly counterattack the north gate, intending to regain control of the north gate.

So on the main street that connects the four gates of Yecheng, the army led by Wei Yan and Han Meng and the Yuan army led by Jiao Touch met face to face, and the two sides fought together at once.

But Wei Yan is not an ordinary general after all, and Han Meng can be regarded as a fierce general, at this moment, Wei Yan and Han Meng are attacking fiercely together, even if Jiao Yan has the strength of a third-rate general, how can he be Wei Yan and Han Meng's opponent.

As a result, after an engagement, Wei Yan cut Jiao Touch off his horse with a single sword, and the Yuan army, which had lost the command of the main general, soon began to rout under the charge of Wei Yan and Han Meng, and retreated back one after another.

In this process, Han Meng took advantage of the situation and persuaded nearly a thousand Yuan troops to follow him, and then Wei Yan and Han Meng continued to lead their troops to kill in the direction of the inner city, and soon killed the gate of the inner city.

At this time, Yecheng was not the Yecheng that was expanded when Cao Cao was crowned the king of Wei and Yecheng was the king's capital.

Therefore, at this time, Yecheng was much smaller than Yecheng later, and there was no expansion area such as Tongquetai and Wei Wang's palace in the north of the city, mainly because of the old scale of Yecheng built by Qi Huan Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Yecheng was returned to the Wei State during the Warring States Period, when the Marquis of Wei Wenhou took Yecheng as the accompanying capital, so the central area of Yecheng was the palace of the Wei King of the Warring States in the old Warring States, which may also be the origin of Cao Cao's self-proclaimed King of Wei.

Now after Yuan Shao occupies Yecheng, he has turned the former Wei Wang's palace into his private palace, and at the same time, he has also built an inner city in Yecheng with the help of the palace wall.

Of course, this kind of inner city renovated by the palace room naturally cannot be compared with the real city wall, but at this moment, Xu You mobilized the remaining 6,000 Yuan troops to enter the inner city, plus the 3,000 guards who were originally stationed in the inner city, there are more than 10,000 troops who can garrison the inner city.

At the same time, the granaries, arsenals, and money depots in Yecheng are also adjacent to the inner city, and they are also controlled by the Yuan army at this moment, so the Yuan army is not afraid of being trapped in the inner city without food and grass, and can also get sufficient weapons from the arsenal.

And the Yuan army, which was originally stationed in the gate area of Yecheng, also returned to the inner city under Xu You's military order, plus the three or four thousand Yuan troops who had been defeated and retreated, which made Xu You's side increase nearly 10,000 troops.

In this way, Xu You can also use the inner city to hold on for some time and wait for Yuan Shang to come back to rescue......
