Thinking of Wei Yan's unrivaled bravery, Yuan Shu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "If Wei Yan's brigade is out of the nest and attacked, even if it is an ambush, how can we have enough of 20,000 people!" It's better to take those 10,000 people and put them in the southwest corner of the house, and attack Wei Yan all at once! 30,000 should be more than 20,000! ”

Yan Xiang exclaimed: "What should we do about the defense of the northeast corner of the city wall, the east gate, and the south gate, if it is empty, Wei Yan will see that we have seen through his treacherous plan!" ”

Yuan Shu smiled: "Since we are going to requisition these houses in the southwest corner, we will drive the people here to the city wall in the northeast corner, pretend to be our people, and deceive Wei Yan's thieves!" ”

This is also a way that has no choice, Yan Xiang has to agree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As night fell, Wei Yan's central army feasted on war food, and then returned to the tent to sleep.

Yuan Shu's 30,000 horses lay in wait for the Wei army to enter the ambush circle in the southwest corner of the city.

The first watch day passed, and the Wei army did not move, and the second watch day passed, and the Wei army still did not move.

Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang: "Wei Yan's thief won't come, right?" ”

Yan Xiang blinked his little eyes and said with a cold smile: "Now in March, the weather is still very cold, especially at night, we are in the warm quilt in the city, they are in the cold tent outside the city, plus the emptiness behind them, they must be worried that Cao Cao and Liu Biao will attack them, and they must be eager to capture Shouchun City, and from the perspective of their subordinates, Wei Yan will come to attack the city tonight, please wait patiently for a while, there will be movement!" ”

As soon as Yan Xiang's words fell, he heard a shout of killing coming from the northeast corner and the southwest corner, the difference was that there was also a terrible whistling sound of stones crossing the night sky in the southwest corner, and the loud thud of smashing on the city wall sounded, and the shouting and killing sound in the northeast corner seemed to be much thinner.

Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Xiang with great satisfaction: "You really expect the enemy to be like a god!" ”

Yan Xiang said with a smile: "Actually, this can be deduced, the reason why Wei Yan put the thunderbolt in the southwest corner is because the southwest corner is far away from Huaishui, the moat is narrow and narrow, as long as the thunderbolt is pushed to the river, the flying stones can hit the city, and the northeast corner is frequently near the Huaishui, the moat is wide, the thunderbolt cart is pushed to the river, and the flying stones can only hit the root of the wall." ”

The roar of the thunderbolt in the southwest corner gradually dimmed after a while, and the Wei soldiers who were babbling to build the pontoon bridge in the southwest corner gradually fell silent.

Yan Xiang thought it was very strange, so he sent people to venture up to the top of the city to see what the Wei army was doing outside the southwest city.

As soon as he sent people to the top of the city to watch, Yan Xiang heard the louder and louder noise coming from the northeast corner, and then heard the terrible shouts of the people guarding the northeast corner running in all directions.

Yan Xiang suddenly woke up and shouted: "The thief of Zhongwei Yan has a trick!" ”

It turned out that the soldiers and horses that Wei Yan mobilized during the day were all the men and horses that the Wei army could mobilize, but at night, it was 10,000 auxiliary soldiers who quietly marched to protect all the wounded soldiers and sneaked towards the military camp in the southwest corner. Yan Xiang was completely fooled!

In the northeast corner, Wei Yan stood on the cloud car, and at a glance saw that most of the guards on the city wall in the northeast corner were dressed up by ordinary people, and he was secretly overjoyed in his heart, and he still concealed Yuan Shu's plan.

In the middle of the second watch, Guan Hai led 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to pull up a hundred thunderbolt carts and bluffed to bombard stones on the southwest corner of the city wall, while those captives were forced by the auxiliaries to wave their flags and shout, and set up pontoon bridges to pretend to cross the moat to confuse Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang.

In the northeast corner, Wei Yan waited until the thunderbolt in the southwest corner of Guanhai began to roar, and then ordered all the soldiers to go out, carrying the pontoon bridge section that had already been built, so that the soldiers with deep water could jump into the moat and connect the pontoon bridges.

Yuan Shu still put thousands of old and weak soldiers in the northeast corner, and they saw that Wei Yan's army was not a feint, but a real game, and while sending people to inform Yuan Shu, they urged those people to throw stones, pour fire oil, and push ladders down, trying to stop the Wei army's siege.

When the pontoon bridge was built, the elite crossbowmen of the Wei army urgently followed, even standing on the pontoon bridge to shoot at the head of the city, to cover those sword and shield soldiers to climb the ladder.

In particular, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Gan Ning, the three major marksmen, joined forces and flew towards the city together, and the arrows were like meteors, which was not in vain.

Especially Wei Yan, every arrow shot the officers of the Yuan army who showed their heads and forced the people, either it was a headshot, and the strong arrow qi poured straight into the door, and the sharp and dark arrow rain seemed to be a black meteor from the officer's forehead drilled in, and then pierced through the back of the head, or it burst the throat, and the black arrow feathers rushed into the officer's throat, and then rushed out from the back of the neck, the death was very miserable, and some of the Yuan army officers who were shot simply fell from the city, even if they did not die and fell under the three-zhang high city wall, they also died thoroughly.

The rest of the old and weak soldiers and innocent people saw the tragic death of those officers, and either ran to the city in fear, or lay on the ground of the city wall, waiting for an unpredictable fate, and there was not the slightest thought of resistance in their hearts.

In this way, in an instant, Dian Wei, who wielded two large iron halberds, cut down a Yuan soldier who tried to push the ladder and took the lead in the city, and the other soldiers followed, quickly occupying the city wall in the northeast corner.

Dian Wei continued to wave his halberds and slash in the direction of the east gate, leading the elite guards under his command to kill the remnants of the hundreds of Yuan troops guarding the east gate, opening the east gate, and beckoning the Wei cavalry to attack Shouchun City.

Xu Huang led 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Shouchun City first, and Wei Yan led 10,000 elite cavalry of the guards to follow closely behind, attacking the southwest corner of Shouchun City, and Gan Ning led the infantry to quickly follow.

Approaching the houses in the southwest corner, Wei Yan shouted: "Set fire!" ”

Xu Huang led 10,000 elite horsemen, galloped through the ambush circle, lit the torches that had been prepared, and threw them into those houses.

In an instant, the blazing fire illuminated Shouchun City as if it were day, and the smoke was so thick that Yuan Shu's 30,000 horses could no longer carry out the task that Yan Xiang said to continue to lurk and lure the Wei cavalry into street battles, and they rushed out of the houses one by one in a panic.

When they rushed out of the houses, what was waiting for them was the 20,000 elite horsemen and 20,000 crossbowmen that the Wei army was waiting for.

Wei Yan shot a Ming Di arrow, and 40,000 Wei troops followed, shooting arrows that had long been ready to be fired, and the dense arrow feathers were like a downpour, flying down, enveloping the heads of those panicked Yuan troops.

Just after being burned by smoke and fire, and just running out and being baptized by the rain of arrows, I heard the thunder roar of the elite of the 40,000 Wei army: "Disarm and don't kill!" Disarm or kill! ”

The more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers who had recently been arrested were frightened, knowing that they could no longer mix with Yuan Shu, so they put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Yan Xiang hurriedly said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, Wei Yan is powerful and unstoppable, so it's better to rush out of the city and flee to Lujiang!" ”

Yuan Shu was angry, picked up the big knife, and slashed at Yan Xiang: "It's all your rotten Confucianism who harmed me, suffer death!" ”

Yan Xiang had nothing to say, his heart was like ashes, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
