Chapter 460: Defending the City
This surprised everyone, even Xu You. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He never expected that Yuan Tan was preached by himself, and he was so angry that he put all the blame for the failure on Ju Yi, and even killed Ju Yi to carry the black pot for him.
Ju Yi also changed color in shock. I didn't expect that. Yuan Tan was furious. and slay him.
That's right. The strategy of taking the initiative is what he offered. He was responsible for this defeat. But in the end, it was Yuan Tan himself who made the decision. To say the greatest culpability. It should also be borne by Yuan Tan himself.
But Yuan Tan in front of him. But he put the responsibility for the defeat on himself. He really didn't expect it.
Ju Yi wanted to work hard for the Yuan family. I want to help Yuan Tan make meritorious contributions. Even lost an arm. But he didn't want Yuan Tan to treat him like this. For a while, it was extremely sad and angry.
The soldiers on the left and right were also dumbfounded. None of them did it. After all, Ju Yi has a lot of prestige in the army. They can do it.
Yuan Tan saw that no one had done anything. More and more embarrassed. yelled: "Ben Gongzi's order." Do you think you are a deaf ear? Don't give it to me yet. ”
Only then did the soldiers come to their senses. Military orders are like mountains. Don't dare to be uncrowded. had to hesitate to move to Juyi.
To know. Although the prestige of Juyi is gone. But Yuan Tan is the main general. If they dare to disobey the order. The next person to be killed. I'm afraid it's themselves.
Ju Yi was stunned for a moment. There was pain in my arms again. Out of proportion. I don't know if it's good. only looked at Yuan Tan sadly. I hope that he will take back his life.
Yuan Tan stood with his hands in his hands. A body of anger. Not at all moved.
Ju Yi's heart unconsciously swelled with an inexplicable sourness. He sighed. Nor resisting. He was left to the soldiers to take him away.
Xu You, who was silent next to him. At this time, his brow was furrowed. His face was full of anxiety.
He knows it well. Yuan Tan killed Ju Yi's move. It's just a cover-up for their own decision-making mistakes. It's just a scapegoat for yourself.
He knows better. With Yuan Tan's ability. If you kill Ju Yi. By his military prowess alone. It is difficult to hold Liyang.
Xu You wanted to intercede for Ju Yi. It's just that I saw Yuan Tan so violent. I was worried that if I interceded. I'm afraid that even myself will be implicated.
I am in a dilemma. Xu Yu suddenly saw it quietly. Yuan Tan's iron-blooded and furious face. There was a bit of anxiety quietly circulating. It seems that he is still secretly glaring at himself.
Xu Yu immediately realized. Yuan Tan didn't want to kill Ju Yi either. This is a hint that he is interceding for Juyi. Let's give him a step down.
"The eldest prince. Rest your anger. General Ju cannot be killed. "Knowingly. Immediately stand up and intercede.
Yuan Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand. Stopped the soldiers from taking Ju Yi away. but glared at Xu Yu again. said coldly: "My son has always had clear rewards and punishments. Ju Yi led to the defeat of our army. Why can't this son kill him? ”
Xu Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Our army is defeated today. General Ju is indeed to blame. But now he's broken an arm. It can be regarded as a punishment for him. Besides, General Ju is a meritorious man in the end. I hope that the eldest prince will look at his past merits. Spare him the death penalty. Give him a chance to make meritorious deeds. ”
Yuan Tan waited for Xu Yu's words. A solemn and annoyed expression. It gradually eased up. The negative hand was silent.
Left and right of those generals. At this time, I also saw Yuan Tan's subtext. Attached. followed Xu Yu to intercede for Ju Yi.
Listen to the pleas of the people. Groaning for a long time. Yuan Tan flicked his hand. sighed: "That's it." For the sake of the plea. Remember your past exploits. and send your capital offenses. If you help my son defend the city, you have merit. to offset your guilt. Otherwise. Sooner or later, my son will take your head. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xu You hurriedly glanced at Ju Yi. Hint at him thanksgiving.
Ju Yi held on to his injured arm. A face of iron blue. Secretly gritted his teeth. Slow to thank.
To know. He is also arrogant. Even in front of Yuan Shao, he is neither humble nor arrogant. Nakatsu once bowed his head to people.
Now. He had to be in front of so many people. bowed his head and pleaded guilty to Yuan Tan. It was a great humiliation for his pride.
"Thank you...... Thank you for the grace of not killing. He hesitated for a long time. Ju Yi finally relented. to save their lives.
Yuan Tan who stood upright. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He also knows that Ju Yixin is arrogant. I'm really worried that Ju Yi won't admit his mistake to himself. I can't get off the stage.
"Go ahead. Let's go and heal first. Yuan Tan didn't look back. He only waved his hand coldly.
Ju Yi was only then supported by the soldiers on the left and right. Trembling bowed back.
Yuan Tan looked back. The face is hideous and solemn. He shouted to the soldiers, "Listen to me." From today. Give me twelve points of spirit to defend the city. Zhang Thief must not be allowed to step into Liyang for half a step. Who dares not to do their best. Don't blame me for the military law. ”
Everyone was intimidated by Yuan Tan's methods. None dared to squeak. Everyone was terrified.
Yuan Tan was satisfied. Rode away.
"The eldest son. That's not how the lord behaves. Where do you have the bearing of a hero? Alas...... "looked at Yuan Tan who was leaving. Xu You shook his head secretly.
……
North Shore.
When Yuan Tan in Liyang City was showing his might. In the camp of the ferry week. The gates of the camp are wide open. More than 10,000 Zhou troops left the camp. Towards the direction of Liyang.
The Zhou army reached the south of Liyang City. Forcing the city to go down. Form a coercive trend.
Yuan Tan in the city at this time. There were still more than 30,000 troops. If it is purely about the number of soldiers and horses. Not above the Zhou army.
But the ferry lost this battle. Yuan Tan's courage has been completely shattered. so that he no longer had the courage to go out of the city. I could only watch Zhou Jun swagger over. calmly forced the city to go down.
Let's go down to the camp. Zhang Yuan sent Pegasus to the south bank. The herald ordered all the soldiers and horses to speed up the assembly and cross the river.
Meantime. Zhang Yuan sent troops and horses for several days. Go to Liyang City to call for battle. Lure Yuan Tan into battle.
For several days. The Zhou army, who called for war, scolded Yuan Tan and his ancestors enough. Although Yuan Tan was very annoyed. But he has always been in the city. Don't dare to fight.
Over time. Five days later. The remaining 60,000 troops all crossed the river. An army of 70,000 gathered under the city of Liyang.
The real siege began.
Zhang Yuan then ordered the troops. Surrounded by Liyang City. Dig deep ditches along the city. Build an earthen wall of the arrow tower. Surround Liyang City into an iron bucket array. Don't even think of a fly flying out.
Followed by. Zhang Yuan mobilized the Heavenly Thunder Cannon. A wild bombardment was launched against Liyang City. I hope to be able to storm the city.
The thunder and artillery bombarded for several days. Liyang City was bombed and scarred. But it still stood still.
Zhang Yuan found out at this time. Liyang City in front of you. It's stronger than he thought it would be.
It looks like the battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao suffered from the Heavenly Thunder Cannon. To Zhang Yuan, a powerful trebuchet. It's been guarded against. After escaping back to Hebei, he mobilized Ding Fu. The city wall of Liyang City was thickened and repaired. Not even the Heavenly Thunder Cannon could break it.
