Chapter 6: The Disaster of the Chen Family
At this point, in addition to the Pingyu City guarded by Liu Pi himself, and Li Tong guarded the three counties of Langlingyang'an and Wufang, all the other counties took the initiative to surrender when they heard the news, and Feng Yao's several armies gathered under Pingyu City, with a total strength of 36,000 people, not counting the troops left in the counties.

The total strength of the Yellow Turban enemy soldiers in the city has also reached nearly 30,000, there are thousands of enemy soldiers at each city gate, and the city wall is densely covered with flags, and there are hundreds of short archers on every small section of the city wall!
Feng Yao made some adjustments to the three-way army, placing the main force at the north gate of Pingyu City, and setting up the big tent in Taolinju, five miles away from the city.
After seeing Feng Yao, Thirteen Yi was overjoyed, knelt in front of Feng Yao's horse, and said in unison: "Thirteen Yi greet the lord!" ”
Returning to Taolin Residence again, Feng Yao's heart was full of emotion, it was here that he met Zhou Cang Chenzhi, and it was here that he found his mother, Mrs. Feng, although the cave was simple, but it gave Feng Yao a completely different feeling! Mrs. Feng also pulled Gong Yinglian and entered the room early inside, the two went in to whisper, and more than 30 female slaves brought by Mrs. Feng began to pack up the sundries outside the cave under the leadership of a steward, and Yang Wu and others quickly tied up a big tent in front of the cave, which was Feng Yao's Zhongjun tent.
Feng Yao didn't have time to say anything more to Thirteen Yi, so he only ordered Thirteen Yi to guard the cave first.
The army personally commanded by Feng Yao at the north gate has a total of 24,000 people, Zhou Cang Gong Du each led 6,000 people as the front village, and stood left and right, camped two miles away from the city, led 3,000 people from the Chinese army as the Chinese army, Xu Chu, Dai Ling, Cheng Gu three generals each led the original 3,000 soldiers and horses as the left and right rear villages, separated around, each village except for Zhoucang near the city, the other villages all rely on the high ground where the peach forest residence is located to be closely connected, the distance between the villages is only twenty or thirty zhang, each other is watching.
There are also scouts, archers, and nearly a thousand people such as personal entourage, not counted, and they are also led by Feng Yao himself.
Most of the former army where Zhou Cang was located was replaced by sword and shield soldiers, preparing to forcibly attack the city, and the elite soldiers went to sleep early after eating, just waiting for the siege tomorrow, and the miscellaneous soldiers lit countless torches and cut down trees overnight to build siege equipment.
The east gate was led by Ji Ling, Zhou Zheng, and Wei Yan to lead a total of 12,000 people to the left, middle and right villages, all of which were camped two miles away from the city!
This time to attack Pingyu City, Feng Yao used the method of attacking the east gate and the north gate, and letting go of the south gate and the west gate, the meaning is obvious, that is, the enemy soldiers in the city can see it, and if you don't want to die, flee quickly!
The reason why Pingyu City has become the county governance of Runan County is because Pingyu City is very peculiar, after being surrounded by Yingshui on all sides for a week, it flows to the east, the whole Yingshui mainly starts from Yingchuan County, flows through more than 1,000 miles, if you take a boat, you can go from Nanyang County to Yingchuan, then to Runan, and then to Jiujiang County, until you sit on both sides of the Huai River.
Water transportation is very convenient, and the tax money and grain from all over the country can easily reach Pingyu City through water transportation.
This natural moat brought a lot of difficulty to the attack, in order to be able to quickly cross the river and attack, Feng Yao ordered people to find the trees that grew up and nailed them together every three, which could be carried by hundreds of people together, and directly erected on top of Yingshui, which could be used by a single person.
He also requisitioned hundreds of small boats in the vicinity, and only one or two small boats could carry one or two tithes, and when attacking the city, they could quickly reach the city wall through the moat.
After crossing the moat, you can only use the simplest ladder to climb the city wall, and the casualties must be very large!
All night, not only Feng Yao's army was busy preparing for the siege outside the city, but Liu Bi was also busy responding to the battle inside the city.
The first unlucky were Gong Du's thirteen-year-old son Gong Ming and his adoptive mother Chen, as early as after the news of Gong Du's surrender to Feng Yao reached Liu Bi's ears, Liu Bi did not hesitate to order the two of them to be arrested for nothing.
Then there was the Chen family of Pingyu, the moment Gong Du closed the city gate and hung up the battle-free card, he immediately led a thousand elite yellow turban wrestlers to surround the Chen Mansion, 500 soldiers surrounded the Chen Mansion, and led 500 soldiers to block the gate of the Chen Mansion!
After Chen Ying, the head of the Chen family, learned about it, he was willing to be captured, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to carry out boxes of silver, summoned all the guests, and said: "Today, my Chen family is going to be seen by people again. This time it depends on all the knights again, but this time the reward will be increased to ten times, one hundred taels per person! ”
When the guests heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and said angrily: "If you dare to move the Chen family, you will be like moving our parents!" Don't say it's a thief, it's the officers and soldiers who are coming, and we will kill them as promised!! ”
Hundreds of doormen and hundreds of family soldiers, each armed with swords and weapons, roared angrily, and instantly rushed to the gate of the mansion, and asked angrily: "Who dares to be rude to the Chen Mansion!" ”
Liu Bihaha laughed and said, "You don't know me!" Just call your master!! ”
"Kill them!!" The doorman and the family soldiers came desperately, and seeing that Liu Pibing was only five hundred, where to put it in his eyes, he rushed up with a roar.
Liu Pi was also furious and ordered his soldiers to do it.
In a moment's time, the two sides are fighting together!! The screams and angry shouts were endless, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen people died under the knife, including doormen and yellow turban elite sword and shield soldiers.
These disciples are all martial arts masters, not ordinary people, but these five hundred elite yellow scarves are even better than one in a hundred, and they are all Liu Bi's henchmen and soldiers! And it is a battle array, hundreds of people are lined up together, the big shield is like a wall, the knife in the hand is neat, every time the knife array is neatly drawn, it will immediately take away the lives of several doormen, and at the same time, it will also be broken into the shield wall from an unexpected angle, attacking, the number of casualties is about the same as the dead doormen!!
Liu Pi was taken aback, he didn't expect that his elite soldiers, who were dressed in armor, would not be able to fight these hundreds of doormen who had no armor and no big shields!!
Every time with the death of his elite soldiers, Liu Bi's eyelids jumped!!
However, these hundreds of elite soldiers did not disappoint Liu Bi! Once the sword and shield hand in the front row died, the back row immediately shouted: "Fight to the death!" "Fill in the gaps in front of you immediately and keep the formation intact!
Liu Bi was frightened at the same time, Chen Ying also hid behind the wall in the mansion gate, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't dare to make a sound, Liu Bi's shouting he had already heard, but he hid behind and didn't want to come out, if the situation was not good, he would act again, or he would be slashed and killed, and the enemy would be killed and retreated in the future, so he didn't have to be afraid, in the Pingyu City, it was impossible to dare to move the Chen family without paying a huge price!! According to the current strength of the Chen family, as long as it is not the crime of rebellion of the Chen family, which of the other minor crimes is worth paying more than a thousand lives to take care of the Chen family?
After nearly 100 people died in the battle between the two sides, Liu Bi finally couldn't help it, and summoned his followers behind him, and wanted to send a large army to attack Chen's mansion, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter in Chen's mansion.
"Who am I, isn't this General Liu, isn't there something that actually came to the door of this mansion? And without prior notice! I'm also good to go out to greet you!! Chen Ying, the head of the Chen family, walked out of the mansion with a smile at this time, and then walked to the gate of the mansion, pretending to be surprised, and hurriedly stopped the doorman and the family soldiers, and ordered them to retreat to the gate of the mansion.
Liu Bi's also ordered his elite soldiers to retreat! Such losses are too heavy, if you continue to fight, these thousand elite soldiers may be consumed here, it is better to wait for the army to come and then attack, or see what Chen Ying says it is not too late to act again.
Chen Ying arched his hand at Liu Pi from afar and said, "The hands and feet of this subordinate are neither light nor heavy, so they didn't cause any trouble to General Liu, right?" If there is any offense, please bear with me!! Another day, I must prepare a big gift and send it to the house to apologize!! ”
