Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Wancheng (7)

Previous Chapter

Biyang City is a small city, since the end of the Han Dynasty war has come, there is not much population, the rich have long moved away, the courtyard is dilapidated and unbearable to move in, only one remaining county government has changed hands several times, there are Xiliang Army and Cao Jun to stay, Cao Chunfang lived for less than a few days, and it was too late to repair, it has been the head of the land, but it has left a lot of good things.

Wei Yan led the army into the county office, and after the guards cleaned it, they put the things they found in front of Wei Yan, including brocade robes and cloaks, carved bows and feather arrows, gold and silver honors, and a pile of other utensils, and even one of the general seals.

Wei Yan saw the general's seal, and then glanced at Xu Chu who was trying to test his strength with a bow, his eyes flashed, he got up and picked up the seal, walked in front of Xu Chu, bowed down and raised the seal above his head, held back the smile in his eyes, pretended to be solemn, and shouted loudly,

"General Xu Xu takes the seal"

Xu Chu was looking at the carved bow and was more and more happy, not wanting Wei Yan to come with such a hand, so he put the carved bow in his hand aside and took the seal with both hands.

"Xu Zhongkang's Seal"

"Hahaha"

"Hahahahaha

The two looked at each other and laughed, and their eyes couldn't help but show sympathy for each other......

A day later, Yuan Yao and Chang Nu led the army, and Xu Chu and Wei Yan hurriedly went out to welcome Yuan Yao into Biyang City.

Yuan Yao led the army, but he never thought that Cao Chun would actually lead the army to battle, let alone that Wei Yan would behead Cao Chun in one go, and take Biyang City by chance.

Yuan Yao and everyone sat in the palace and held a banquet. When everyone was drunk and half drunk, Yuan Yao personally poured wine for Wei Yan and Xu Chu, and raised his glass and praised: "Kill the general and seize the city, the tiger of the world will also, Yao often hears of the dove tiger Lu Bu in Huainan, unparalleled in the world, but the view of the long, Zhongkang's bravery, although it may not be reached, but it is not far away."

Yan once heard that Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought in Yanzhou, and finally lost and ran into Pengcheng, placing their fence on Liu Bei. Yan Bucai, willing to defend the prince and break Cao, in the name of frustrating Cao Jun", Wei Yan was full of drunkenness, staggered up to Yuan Yao, knelt on one knee and shouted for his life.

"Good, good, good, Yao Youwen Chang, what more can I ask for!" , Yuan Yao helped Wei Yan up and laughed loudly.

Seeing that the two of them were drunk, Li Feng moved his body lightly to Chang Nu's approach, and asked in a low voice: "Cao is strong and I am weak, I was drunk and arrogant before the war, is it inappropriate for my son to be like this?" ”

Chang Nu patted Li Feng on the shoulder and replied in a low voice: "It is precisely because our army has been repeatedly defeated by the Cao army, and today is a big victory, the prince is so happy, and the lord intends to order the son to take Lu Bu's daughter, the prince is unwilling, if he can defeat the Cao army this time, the lord will not be too persecuted."

When Li Feng heard this, he was dumbfounded for a long time before returning to the table without saying a word.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Yan led the army to Wuyin City, and Yuan Yao led a team of soldiers to push more than a dozen huge 'wooden weapons' and then entered.

Cao Ren stood on the top of Wuyin City, and the killing intent and anger in his eyes could be detected from outside the city. Yesterday, a group of defeated soldiers fled back to Wuyin City under the leadership of a lieutenant, and desperately took the head of his own brother Cao Chun.

"Humph!" Angry, Cao Ren slammed his fist against the rammed earth wall, creating a shallow pit mark. A few people in the Yuan army's camp under the city were still in front of the battle carrying a headless corpse.

"Cao Chun's body is here, can Cao Ren dare to go out of the city to get it?" , Wei Yan saw that Cao Ren was guarding the city, and the swords, shields, and archers on the city were strictly guarding and leading, and he couldn't help but feel a little powerless in his heart, and urged the horse to step forward and sneered loudly.

The soldiers in front of him shouted Wei Yan's words again.

"General", the guards beside Cao Ren shouted angrily to Cao Ren, looking fiercely at the city. They are all Cao Ren's cronies and guards, the two are brothers, and their relationship with Cao Chun is also extraordinary, and now they are furious when they see Cao Chun's body being humiliated.

Cao Ren's fingers were almost embedded in the wall, and he shouted in a deep voice: "If you go out of the city again, cut it!" ”

Wei Yan saw that Cao Ren was sticking to the city and had no intention of leaving the city, so he knew that it was not a way, so he arranged for some soldiers to shout and scold outside the city, and he thought about countermeasures.

Yuan Yao escorted the utensils behind, a journey slower than Wei Yan. Wei Yan had already scolded twice under Wuyin City before he arrived late.

"Is the writer poor?" , Yuan Yao came to the front of the formation, and when he saw Wei Yan's sad face, he couldn't help but smile.

"Yan just saw it today, Cao Chun is a reckless man, but Cao Ren is a turtle", Wei Yan stepped forward and bowed, and scolded in a low voice.

Yuan Yao smiled slightly, pointed to more than a dozen huge 'wooden objects' behind him and said with a smile: "This thing can help Wen Chang break the city."

Wei Yan heard the sound and looked, only to see that on the wooden carts, the three big crossbows were all in the shape of a gibbous moon, and the two spears on the cow tendon string tightened the string. The spearhead of the silver mang pointed directly at the city of Wuyin.

"What is this?" , Wei Yan looked at the Eight Bull Crossbow and sighed in surprise.

Yuan Yao patted him on the shoulder, "Wen Chang, you're ready to attack the city!" Randomly turned back to Chang Nu and said: "Chang Nu, you and lead 800 elite soldiers to the back door, don't leave Cao Ren." ”

Cao Ren saw on the wall that Yuan Jun had launched more than a dozen vehicles in the array, with several big crossbows connected together, and a spear pointed at the head of Wuyin City from afar, and his heart was not good, so he shouted loudly: "Bow down!" ”。

Cao Jun lay down one after another, only to hear the sound of "poof", "poof" from the wall, and there seemed to be a trembling sound from the city wall.

Cao Ren heard the sound of shouting and killing under the city, looked up from the top of the city, and saw two Yuan generals leading a large number of soldiers to run down the city first, and spears were hanging on the city wall.

"Archers, sword and shield bearers, scattered to defend the city," Cao Ren shouted urgently.

Cao saber and shield hand, the archer hurriedly got up, and when he was about to release arrows to the city, he only heard the sound of breaking the air, and a spear stabbed obliquely, and Cao Jun was directly pierced by the spear before he had time to resist.

Cao Ren was anxious, I don't know when the Yuan army had such a strong crossbow to attack the city, only to see more than a dozen corpses of Cao Jun lying on the city, all of them were pierced holes, and most of the Cao army was already exhausted, only dared to lie down at the head of the city, did not dare to draw a bow and raise a knife, and the archers of the Yuan army took advantage of the momentum of the talent to move forward, and the more concentrated arrow feathers fell on the head of Wuyin City, and the Cao army who had just wanted to counterattack could not raise his head.

"Get up and fight! Kill those who bow their heads! Cao Ren glanced at the city wall, and saw that the two generals of the Yuan army had already thrown more than 100 guards and soldiers in armor and were climbing towards the city, and couldn't help shouting loudly, and hurriedly ordered the supervision team to come forward to supervise the battle.

Seeing that the city was difficult to defend, several Cao Jun's cronies and lieutenants came to Cao Ren's approach and persuaded in a low voice: "General, Wuyin City is already difficult to defend, the general is an important minister of the imperial court, there is no room for mistakes, and I hope to evacuate first, and we will hold on until the last moment."

Cao Ren glanced at the city, and saw that the string of the giant crossbow had been pulled away by Yuan Jun, and one of the spears seemed to be pointing at him from afar, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said to several captains: "Wuyin City is entrusted to you, and the young and old in Xuchang's family will be treated kindly!" ”

After Cao Ren finished speaking, he led a few captains and guards to quietly walk towards the city, and the remaining Cao military captains walked towards the edge of the city with swords, and an archer captain who had fled back from Biyang looked at Cao Ren's back with hesitant eyes.

"Kill", "kill", "kill", Wei Yan and Xu Chu, who climbed the city, held short knives and fought to the death with the Yuan army at the head of the city like a tiger returning to the mountain, and the Cao soldiers saw that the two were fierce and abnormal, and they were timid, but they were forced to step forward to fight for their lives by the supervising team behind them with a knife, and the Yuan army who captured a place at the head of the city had to fight for survival and forget to die, just to ensure that Yuan Jun continued to climb the city behind him to help him.

The archer lieutenant summoned a few cronies to protect the left and right, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Cao Ren has escaped!" Cao Ren escaped! ”

Sergeant Cao and the team leader of the battle were flustered when they heard this, and the swords and guns in their hands slowed down, and their eyes just swept back, as if they were looking for Cao Ren's figure.

"Cao Ren has abandoned the city and fled, who are you waiting for!" , Xu Zhu shouted, and with a knife, he split a Cao military captain in front of him in half, and shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Yuan army climbed to the top of the city and shouted one after another, and the momentum of the Cao army had declined to the bottom, and many of the warlords fled one after another, and some threw down their weapons and walked towards the Yuan army.

Two moments later, the Yuan army cleared the Cao army at the head of the city and opened the gate of Wuyin. Yuan Yao glanced at the head of the city lightly, and urged the horse to lead the army to carry the eight-bull crossbow into Wuyin City.

"The last general pleaded guilty, Cao Ren led more than 100 horsemen out of the back door, and the last general failed to intercept it, so Cao Ren escaped with five or six horsemen", in Wuyin City, Yuan Yao was watching Wei Yan count the casualties, and Chang Nu came forward and knelt down on one knee covered in blood and said.

"But if you leave Cao Ren, it doesn't matter, Chang Nu still quickly went to heal the wound", Yuan Yao saw that Chang Nu was covered in blood, and most of the nail leaves on his arm had fallen off, revealing deep bloodstains, and hurriedly relieved and sent someone to help Chang Nu down.

Is it a poor man to chase? Yuan Yao thought secretly.

"Childe", Li Feng walked from the outside.

"Isn't something wrong?" , Yuan Yao had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Childe, please look, Li Feng handed the bamboo slip to Yuan Yao.

Wei Yan and Xu Chu saw that Yuan Yao's eyes were blue and faintly angry, so he couldn't help but ask Li Feng in a low voice, "What is the matter?" ”

"Zhang Xiu has descended", Yuan Yao's face turned pale, and he slammed the letter to the ground.
