"Okay, you go down and tell the infantry to rest quickly after eating, the night is their world, don't embarrass the Sky Wolf Army." Lu Bu looked at Zhang Xiu, who was excited, afraid that he would be too excited to wait and affect the battle, so he hurried him back to rest.

"Yes, I promise to take Yecheng and raise the might of my infantry army." After saying that, he ran back to the infantry camp, and it was estimated that he was going to give a lecture.

"Wen Yuan, Zhongyi, let the two of you supervise the ladders and siege towers made by the cavalry, whether they are done well or not, it has been so many days.

"Marshal, it's already ready, just waiting for the infantry brothers to use it."

This is a commonly used thing when attacking the city, and generally high-ranking generals have been trained by Ma Jun and Chu Xiong, so they can, but they have never had the opportunity to use it.

The commonly used ladder is not a simple ladder, in fact, the complex and advanced ladder is similar to the current fire truck, it is a car with a ladder, the car is made of wood covered with cowhide and poured water, and the soldiers who are ready to climb the city first hide in the car, and then climb the ladder along the exit under the city wall, so that the distance of climbing the ladder is shorter, because the car has a height, and the slope of the ladder is not too steep. The ladder head will have a hook that can hook the female wall on top of the wall (the convex and concave jagged wall), so it is not easy for the enemy to overturn the ladder.

There are also "siege towers", which are made of wood like buildings but have wheeled carts underneath, as high as the city walls, or even higher than the city walls, covered with cowhide and watered, on which arrows are placed to suppress the archers on the walls; He even pushed all the way to the edge of the city, and built a wooden bridge directly from above to jump onto the city wall.

The night is already very deep, and the people who have been busy for a day have already entered the dream, but the walls of Yecheng are brightly lit, but the soldiers are a little sleepy and misty on the patrol, and anyone who is besieged for a few days will not be able to sleep well.

"Look, what's that?" A soldier who was about to fall asleep suddenly pointed to the darkness in the distance.

"What's that? Why can't I see it? The soldier next to him asked suspiciously.

"Where! You see that the ground seems to be of different colors, and it will move. The soldier looked at the regular color of the city, not the same as the ground. In fact, those were 2,000 infantry vanguard of the Sky Wolf Army, 2,000 each of the four gates, each of them carrying a large shield on their backs, and slowly moved towards the city. The front part carried grenades, and the latter part carried bows and arrows.

"You're sleeping, this Yecheng is so high, they can't get in during the day, let alone at night. You watch, I squint for a moment. After speaking, I looked for the female wall to rely on.

Suddenly, a thousand people in front of them quickly approached the city wall, threw grenades at the tower, and threw six thousand in a row. This grenade can't deal with this city gate, but it has an obvious effect on people, and in a moment of time, there will be no one on the city tower.

When some of the soldiers in front saw the sudden explosion, they immediately shouted loudly: "The enemy is coming to attack the city!" The soldier's roar came out and the next second it went west.

However, the shouts and explosions also drew out the soldiers who were resting in the castle towers, and the city walls were suddenly busy, and the soldiers hurriedly stood on top of their posts and fired arrows to meet the enemy.

Under the command of Zhang Xiu, the Sky Wolf Infantry Army launched a fierce attack on Yecheng in the middle of the night, and when the vanguard team solved the soldiers on the city tower, Zhang Xiu took the lead in this gap, carrying the ladder and rushing to the front. Chun Yuqiong also came drunk and stood on the city wall to command, with 50,000 defenders, he didn't believe that Yecheng would be lost.

Yecheng was shrouded in darkness, and the fierce shouts and killings on the city wall had already awakened the residents of Yecheng, who listened to the thunder and fighting outside in fear, while some people were full of anticipation and excitement.

In fact, there are a large number of underworld gangs in Yecheng, but they have not been instructed to cooperate, so they still do what they should do, that is, sleep.

Chun Yuqiong suddenly heard a general running in in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "General, the big thing is not good!" The southern wall is a little unbearable! ”

"What? What did you say? How could it be so fast, who led the army, how many men did they have? Chun Yuqiong stood up abruptly and asked loudly.

"The specific situation is not clear, the enemy seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and we were caught off guard, and now the south gate is in danger." Beads of sweat appeared on the general's forehead, and he said in fear.

"What?" Chun Yuqiong woke up in an instant, and his face changed shape with anger, and he said sharply: "What are you doing to eat, now hurry up and lead five thousand men and horses for me to guard the south gate." ”

"General, the leader seems to be called Zhang Xiu, very brave, he rushed up to the city tower, a burst of killing, there is no general, and then the wolf army came up from the ladder not shortly, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, I will immediately go back to guard the south gate."

At this time, a soldier suddenly broke in and said loudly: "Report to the general, the Heavenly Wolf army has entered the city. ”

"What? You dare to lie about the military situation, the Sky Wolf army is still attacking the city, how can you enter the city? Chun Yuqiong was furious and pointed to the attacking Sky Wolf Army outside the city and said.

"General, the south gate was opened by a general named Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu's cavalry quickly rushed into the city, the city has been broken, the general should flee with the lord's family......

"What?" The soldier's words made Chun Yuqiong tremble, and he finally understood why Lu Bu was fearless during the day, and he didn't expect that he still had such a good infantry? For a long time, the world only knew that the Sky Wolf Army was cavalry, but this infantry was ignored. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly trembled, and he commanded in a trembling voice: "Yecheng can't hold it, pass on my order, the army will abandon Yecheng, take the lord's family to break through into the mountain, and then find a chance to fight with the lord." ”

Before the soldiers had time to leave, there was a shout of killing outside the door, and Zhang Ji also rushed from the north gate, surrounding As the gap gradually opened, there were more and more wolf troops on the city tower, and the fight became easier and easier.

Yuan Shao's troops left in Yecheng were the main force of Bohai, and they were naturally loyal, and under the impact of the Heavenly Wolf Army, they were still desperately trying to transfer Yuan Shao's family. It's just that when they went out of the city, it was Zhang Liao who led the Sky Wolf Cavalry to wait for them, and unfortunately all of them were captured.

Early the next morning, Yecheng had regained its tranquility, but the blood stains on the streets told people about the battle last night. The sky is cloudless, the golden sun shines on the earth, covering Yecheng with a thin layer of golden veil, the breeze gently blows through people's cheeks, and the fallen leaves fly with the wind, so that everything can feel the peace of autumn.

The city guard mansion of Yecheng changed its owner overnight, Lu Bu was leaning on the bed triumphantly, with a look of enjoyment, Chen Gong stood next to Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu and other sides of the battle hall. All had serious expressions, and Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Shao's family members were tied with their hands behind their backs, kneeling below, with a look of frustration on their faces.

"Which one is Yuan Tan, stand up and take a look." Lu Bu didn't bother to pay attention to that fool Chun Yuqiong. Go directly to Yuan Shao's son to play.

"Hmph, Lu Bu, you are a hero, there is a kind of rushing at me, don't deal with my son-in-law, you are too young.!" Chun Yuqiong said angrily.

"Bang," Lu Bu clapped a few times and said with a smile: "Yingchuan Chun Yuqiong really deserves its reputation!" Oh, that's faithful. But now is not the time to show loyalty, do you want to surrender?," Saying this, Lu Bu deliberately paused and looked at Chun Yuqiong's face.

Sure enough, Chun Yuqiong's face was happy, thinking that Lu Bu was still planning to surrender him, his heart was settled, and his expression relaxed, who knew that Lu Bu changed his words, and said with a sneer: "Give you tea time, if you don't surrender, I will cut you and feed the wolf!" See how faithful you are. Ha ha. After saying that, he laughed.

Chun Yuqiong looked at Yuan Shao's family next to her, looking at Lu Bu, her heart was very entangled, and she stood there in a daze thinking about whether to surrender, and the time was coming soon. Lu Bu waved impatiently at Zhang Liao and ordered: "Drag Chun Yuqiong out and behead him!" ”

Zhang Liao grabbed Chun Yuqiong's clothes from behind and dragged them away directly, Chun Yuqiong hurriedly surrendered, but Lu Bu ignored it, smiling, and drinking tea calmly.

Chen Gong saw that Chun Yuqiong already had the heart to surrender, and he couldn't kill him like this, because the most important thing for the lord to be fair was talent, after thinking for a while, Chen Gong persuaded him: "Fengxian, Yecheng is newly determined, the lord needs talents, if someone surrenders and does not accept it, who will dare to surrender in the future?" ”

"What the public platform said is the same, keep it first, and together with these Yuan Shao's families, send it back to Youzhou to ask the lord to invite merit, haha." Lu Bu's suggestions for Chen Gong are generally more agreeable.

"Mr. Gongtai, for those big families, how to govern at present, whether you should ask the lord first." Lu Bu also knew that this Jizhou was rich, and he couldn't just go against others when he first came, so he wanted to hear Chen Gong's opinion, and asked again.

"Fengxian, I think that's it, let's first invite the Zhang family, the leader of Jizhou, to talk about it, and come to knock on the mountain and town, and Wen Yuan will go back to the barracks first to deal with the affairs of the army, especially the issue of surrendering troops last night, which must be properly handled." Chen Gong suggested.

Jizhou is located in the current Hebei and Henan parts of the vast plain, fertile land, large population, rich resources, the most developed iron smelting industry, is the richest place in the Han Dynasty. And Zhang's gate valve is the largest gate valve in Yecheng, and it is also the largest gate valve in Jizhou, the current family advocates Ren's father was the assassin of Jizhou, after Yuan Shao seized Yecheng, he sent Feng Ji to Zhang's house to ask for food.

When Zhang Ren heard Lu Bu invite him, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly packed up in person and set off for the state capital, after all, now Lu Bu has a heavy army in his hands and controls the power of life and death in Yecheng.

When Zhang Ren came to the state capital, Lu Bu was already sitting in the lobby waiting for him.

"Grass people, Zhang Ren greets the general." Zhang Ren entered the lobby and saw Lu Bu, so he hurriedly bowed.
