Half a month is not a long time, but it is not a short time. In the past half a month, countless things have happened, big and small, but the thing that worries Gao Ye the most still hasn't happened. Half a month has passed, and Cao Cao of Guandu has made corresponding adjustments in deployment according to the military report sent by Gao Ye, but the trial in Yecheng still has no action against Xu Yu's nephew.

Half a month has passed, and Zang Ba and Xu Shu of Dongwuyang really can't drag it out, so they finally withdrew from Dongwuyang and flooded Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses. The walls collapsed so quickly that less than 10,000 of the 40,000 troops were lucky enough to climb to the top of the walls, in addition to the 2,000 men who were already on duty on the walls. As for the soldiers and horses on the south wall, they have already been buried in the belly of the fish with the collapse of the city wall. Speaking of which Yuan Xi and Xin Bi were also lucky, when the south wall collapsed, the two of them had already felt the vicinity of the north wall, so they hurriedly climbed the city wall under the flood city, and did not die in the rushing water in the city.

Although there is a bright moon in the sky tonight, it is pitch black inside and outside the city, and with the sporadic fires on the city, Yuan Xi's heart is already on the verge of collapse at this moment. 40,000 troops, that is, 40,000 lives, and now if he is careless, Zang Ba has not been eliminated, but he has almost completely annihilated here. Now it was flooded, and the walls were flanked by flooded rivers and the wails of soldiers struggling in the waters. Although the city wall has not yet been submerged, it is almost like an island, and although everyone is safe for the time being, there is also no way to go.

Fortunately, with such a large water potential, Cao Jun was unable to attack, which was the only comfort that Yuan Xi, who was now sitting on the ground with his back to the battlements, could still maintain his sanity. In contrast, on the contrary, Xin Bi was quite calm, and although he was also frightened when he climbed to the top of the city, he still lay on the head of the city and observed the military situation. Xin Bi believes that since Cao Jun can release water to flood the city, he is afraid that he will not let the army easily get a chance to breathe, but he is afraid that there is still something waiting for the army.

Speaking of which, Xu Shu really did not disappoint Xin Bi, although Gan Ning's sailors are all stationed in Puyang, but along the waterway from Puyang to Dongwuyang, it can't even take two hours. The dozen or so ships that had not yet been installed in the newly launched dock of Tateshi had already been transferred to Dongwuyang by Gao Ye. Gan Ning left the flagship and boarded the ship first, and hurried to the battlefield with the ship, and with Xu Shu's boarding and marching, the battle could be regarded as a complete end. Seeing the sporadic fires rushing towards him from the east on the city wall, Xin Bi almost immediately realized the fact that Cao Jun had a naval army, and almost immediately fell into despair.

Seeing that Xin Bi went from standing upright to slowly falling to the ground, Yuan Xi, who had finally eased up, hurriedly stepped forward, squatted beside Xin Bi and hurriedly asked, "Sir, sir, what happened?" ”

Xin Bi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, pointed to the city with his hand, and motioned for Yuan Xi to see it himself. Yuan Xi immediately looked up and saw the firelight outside the city, coming towards Dongwuyang, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. It's just that Yuan Xi has never experienced such a difficult situation, and his brain is still a little confused, and he didn't react to what was going on for a while. Seeing that Xin Bi next to him wanted to stand up several times, but failed several times, he couldn't help but help Xin Bi and let him stand aside with the city wall, and then asked: "Sir, what the hell is going on, Cao Jun, how could Cao Jun come over?" Is this Cao Jun all a dragon in the water? ”

When Xin Bi heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, sighed again, and said almost in tears: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Xin Bi, who smiled bitterly a few times, immediately said: "Then the Cao army must come by boat, the navy, the navy!" Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually built a water army! ”

The word water army completely exploded in Yuan Xi's mind, if Cao Jun has a water army, doesn't it mean that he and others are now only waiting for death! The city wall is now crowded with people, except for those soldiers who have been on duty on the city wall for a long time, many soldiers have not even carried weapons and crossbows. In this way, as soon as Cao Jun's sailor arrives, how will this battle be fought?

Xin Bi, who only listened to the side, seemed to be talking to himself, and said as if he was explaining to him: "I think how Yu Ban won Yangxin unknowingly, and how Zang Ba smuggled Cangtingjin under our noses not long ago, I can't figure it out, and now this answer is in front of me, but unfortunately, it's too late for me to understand, it's too late......"

As the Ganning Navy got closer and closer, the psychological pressure on Yuan Jun, who had just escaped death on the city wall, was also increasing. Xin Bi guessed about the navy just by looking at the little fire, but the other soldiers did not see Cao Jun's warship until they were within reach. Up to now, even people like Xinbi, who are rigid and single-minded, and are praised as no less than Ji Di, are so desperate that they can't stand on their feet, and the hearts of the other soldiers can be imagined.

Yuan Xi on the side was even more slumped to the ground at this moment, and the gray look on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what. Seeing that the ship was getting closer and closer to the city, suddenly a touch of determination flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and Yuan Xi, who couldn't stand up just now, suddenly stood upright, startling Xin Bi, who was holding the city wall on the side.

Although Yuan Xi is now only dressed in a single shirt, without armor or helmet, the long sword is still in his hand. Looking around, there are not a few Yuan Jun who are the same as Yuan Xi, and within the range of Yuan Xi's eyes, there are many people who don't even have weapons. Although there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses on the city, how many soldiers are there who may be fighting? The morale of the army is lost, and the morale is gone, even if they resist with all their might, how long can they resist? The general trend has gone, and there is no way to return to heaven! Yuan Xi closed his eyes helplessly, and pulled out his sword violently, about to wipe it off his neck.

Yuan Xi's move really frightened Xin Bi on the side, and Xin Bi, who was originally weak in his legs, didn't know where he got the strength for a while, so he grabbed Yuan Xi's arm. The guards beside Yuan Xi also hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the long sword from Yuan Xi's hand. Seeing that Yuan Xi was safe and sound, Xin Bi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Second son, what are you doing?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Now that the general trend is gone, there are only these people left, Mr. George, look at it, how do you fight like this, even if you fight, where is Cao Jun's opponent?" ”

"Even so, the second son must not be short-sighted! We can surrender first in order to gain momentum. ”

"Surrender? Hmph, are you the spineless guy of Yuan Xiansi? I am the son of the Yuan family, the son of my father, now that I have been defeated, what is the horse leather shroud, if you want me to grovel and serve Cao Cao, don't even think about it! Yuan Xi almost shouted, "The matter has come to this, this son is just a death!" George, I won't call you any sir anymore, after I die, you can take my body and ask Cao Jun to surrender. ”

Xin Bi frowned when he heard this, and persuaded bitterly: "Second son, you will have nothing to die this time." Even if you live to rely on Cao Cao's snort, lie down and taste the courage, there is still a chance to make a comeback! ”

"Haha, do you think Cao Mengde will give me such an opportunity? If I descend, I will only be placed under house arrest in the compound of the deep house, or I will be beheaded for any reason. Stoop to conquer? George, you underestimate Cao Cao's ruthlessness. Besides, if I die in battle today, millions of people in Hebei will have the same hatred for the enemy. But if I grovel, how can you make my father fight? ”

Xin Bi wanted to persuade again, Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "Besides, above the city, there are only these people left, if I don't die, how can they live, and how can you live, sir?" Seeing the entanglement on Xin Bi's face, Yuan Xi laughed and said: "George, you don't have to be sad, your husband will die if he dies, if he can live for a hundred years, it will not be in vain!" ”

Xin Bier heard what Yuan Xi said heroically, and he himself suddenly felt arrogant, and said with a smile: "Since the second son has made a decision, I will not stop it, let me accompany the second son and go to the underworld." ”

Before Xin Bi's words fell, Yuan Xi's face changed violently, and he said solemnly to Xin Bi: "Absolutely not! If you die, what will happen to the ten thousand soldiers on the city? He said, "I must die for the sake of my father's victory in this battle, or for him to have a chance to make a comeback, but you can't!" Right now, the lives of these ten thousand sons are all on your shoulders. As he spoke, he tore a piece from his underwear, and with a swing of his sword, he cut his finger and wrote on it. While writing, he said: "In the future, if my father kills Cao Cao, George, you take this blood letter, my father will definitely not blame you when he sees it." If...... If the thief wins, alas...... With your talent, you will be reused by Cao Cao, and at that time, my eldest brother will also need your care, and the Yuan family is only afraid that they will have to rely on you to maintain the incense......" Speaking of this, Yuan Xi's eyelids were already wet with tears, and even his voice was a little choked. When Xin Bi heard this, he cried even more.

Yuan Xi trembled his fingertips, wrote a letter of blood, sighed, and then laughed with relief, and then handed it to Xin Bi, who was kneeling aside, and said, "George, put him away." After I die, you can take everyone to surrender, with my corpse here, Cao Jun will not embarrass you too much. ”

Xin Bi on the side threw himself to the ground at this time, holding Yuan Xi's blood book with both hands, and then cried: "Second son, rest assured, Bi will live up to the trust of the son!" After saying that, he reluctantly stood up, looking at Yuan Xi, who was dressed in underwear, his hair was scattered but his arrogance was dry, and for a while Xin Bi felt as if he had re-acquainted himself with Yuan Xi, so proud, so thoughtful, is he still the second son who has been despised by himself! It's a pity, it's a pity!

Yuan Xi nodded when he heard this, took a deep breath, looked at Xin Bi and said, "If you hate to rule the world, you can fight with George sooner or later." Saying this, his eyes drifted out of the city, into the distance. Suddenly, I only heard Yuan Xi shouting angrily: "I hate the great rivers and mountains even more, and I can't enter my arms!" He died at the age of 24.
