Chapter 486: Yuan Shang
In the sigh, Yuan Shang's heroic body had disappeared outside the door, and the moment he stepped out of the door, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth rose slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible sneer,
The next day, Yuan Shang rushed to Ancheng with Yuan Shao's military order, Zhang He and 10,000 soldiers and horses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This city is already the last line of defense to Yecheng.
On the front line of Yecheng, Yuan Shaoshang left nearly 30,000 main forces, commanded by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two most trusted generals, although he ordered Yuan Shang to take charge of the military power, in fact, he did not fully delegate power, and Yuan Shang could only mobilize Zhang He, a general, and 10,000 Ancheng defenders.
Yuan Shao ignored Yuan Tan's order, and as Yuan Shang was taken to the front line, all the soldiers were shaken, and they were all secretly shaken by Yuan Shao's iron heart.
Two days later, Zhang Yuan, who had captured Neicheng, led an army of 70,000 troops, and arrived in a mighty manner, and went down to the village five miles south of Ancheng, forming a threatening trend.
This city is less than 50 miles away from Yecheng, and it can be said that it has penetrated into the hinterland of Jizhou.
In order to resist Zhang Yuan's attack, since the loss of the army in Liyang, Yuan Shao sent a large number of people, and spent a month between Ancheng and Yecheng to build more than 40 large and small barriers, and connected them with moats, forming a defensive network with a radius of more than 50 miles.
Among these dozens of dock walls, the big ones have 3,500 troops, and the small ones have 7,800 troops, and they are dotted between the entire defense network system.
Ancheng is the key to this defense network, and its solidity is not inferior to that of a fortified city like Liyang.
Zhang Yuan didn't have the slightest fear, because he had a killer weapon in his hand.
After the Zhou army forced the camp to go down, Zhang Yuan continued to adopt the same strategy, ordering Li Cunxiao to lead 30,000 elite infantry troops to attack, and continued to tie Yuan Dagongzi to the opposite building, as his shield for the siege.
In the afternoon, heaven and earth were killed.
In the rumbling drums of war, 30,000 Zhou troops, under the command of Li Cunxiao, lined up into more than ten military formations, large and small, towards the line of the south gate of Ancheng, rolling and rolling.
In the Central Military Department, Zhang Yuan immediately crossed his sword and admired this siege battle.
At the forefront, on the huge opposite floor, the ugly Yuan Tan was still tied to it, ensuring that every enemy soldier at the head of the city could see it clearly.
"Zhang Yuan, you despicable and shameless person, you kind of kill me......" Yuan Tan upstairs still scolded Zhang Yuan in anger.
Li Dingguo once proposed to cut Yuan Tan's tongue simply so that this kid could no longer scold, but Zhang Yuan refused with a smile.
What he wants is to appreciate Yuan Tan's madness, and let the Yuan soldiers and soldiers at the head of the city hear it, so that he can be more sure that the ugly monster tied in front of them is their eldest son Yuan.
Zhang Yuan had a faint sneer on his face, raised his head in high spirits, smiled at Yuan Tan's shield, and was slowly pushed into the range of Yuan Jun's bow and crossbow.
In front of the South Gate Tower, Zhang He frowned, silently staring at the approaching Zhou Jun, looking at Yuan Tan upstairs, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
Although he was a member of the Hebei faction and belonged to Yuan Shang's camp, when he saw Yuan Tan's tragic situation, there was a faint amount of sympathy in his eyes.
Yuan Shang, who was in silver armor and silver helmet, stood next to him, with a pair of cold eyes, but there was no sympathy, only burning disgust.
For Yuan Tan, he is deeply disgusted with him, the lord.
Although Yuan Shang was ordered by Yuan Shao to be the nominal commander, he was very self-aware, knowing that his use of troops was inferior to Zhang He, and if he wanted to hold Ancheng, he had to rely on this Hebei general.
Therefore, today he is called the commander-in-chief, but in fact he only plays the role of supervising the army, and the commander of the former enemy is still Zhang He.
To the south, the Zhou army was slowly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, it was within the range of the bow and crossbow.
"Listen to the soldiers of the Yuan family, don't care if I live or die, shoot arrows at me, I, Yuan Tan, will not give in to Zhang Yuan if I die, let me release arrows," to Yuan Tan upstairs, suddenly shouted unexpectedly.
"What's the matter, why did this bastard suddenly become bolder, and even clamored for death." Li Dingguo touched the back of his head, looking puzzled.
"Li Dingguo, do you think dogs can change their ability to eat?" Zhang Yuan sneered disdainfully, "It's just because of the previous experience of becoming a city in the city, he thought that Yuan Shao took care of his life and strictly ordered the soldiers not to release arrows, so he dared to deliberately pretend to be so generous." ”
Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, his mind turned a few times, and he suddenly understood.
Yuan Tan dared to put on a posture of not being afraid of death, shouting and begging for death, knowing that Yuan Jun would not release arrows at him, in this way, he could gain a reputation for being brave and fearless.
"Grandma's, it's so hypocritical, I thought he wasn't afraid of death." Li Dingguo, who suddenly understood, snorted with disdain.
Zhang Yuan smiled without saying a word, and continued to raise his eyes to admire.
Along the front line of the city, more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers and soldiers, facing the eldest prince who generously begged for death, really fell into a dilemma again and were at a loss.
Zhang He's big gun was clenched, his brows were furrowed, and the complicated look in his eyes was surging.
Yuan Shang was not moved, and when he saw that Zhang He did not react, he shouted: "General Lu, why are you stunned, the enemy has entered the range of the bow and crossbow, and Zhong will not give the order to release the arrows,"
"Third son, the opposite is the eldest son, you are the lord." Zhang He's voice trembled slightly, "If I order the arrows to be released, the arrows have no eyes, and it is very likely to shoot the eldest prince, or even shoot him to death." ”
"So what." Yuan Shang's face was cold, "Father has strictly ordered us to do whatever we want, do you still want to disobey this time, and you still want to make excuses for abandoning the city and fleeing?"
In Yuan Shang's words, it was obvious that he held a grudge against the last time, when Zhang He did not directly order the arrow to be released and shot Yuan Tan to death.
Zhang He's figure was slightly shocked, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, so he had to take a deep breath, slowly raised his gun, and prepared to give an order.
Yuan Tan was already excited, and in a blink of an eye, he was approaching eighty steps, and Zhang He's big gun raised Zhang Jiu, but it was difficult to make a decision.
"Father's military order is very clear, those who dare to disobey the order will be beheaded all over the house, Zhang He, do you really want to find death," Yuan Shang reprimanded eagerly.
Zhang He's body shook violently, and under this threat, fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He knew that Yuan Shao was already angry in his heart because of his loss of success, and if he lost Ancheng again this time, he would definitely die.
"Eldest son, I don't have a choice, if you want to blame it, blame your father and brother for being ruthless, don't blame me Zhang He......"
Helpless, Zhang He secretly gritted his teeth, and the big gun in his hand slashed down, "Crossbowman, release arrows, and block the enemy." ”
When the order was issued, more than 2,000 crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows, but no one dared to release the first arrow.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shang was enraged, and shouted: "Are you all deaf, General Zhang ordered you to release the arrows, and you will not let go,"
