Chapter 252: Liu Pi surrenders
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
More than a dozen thunderbolts were launched in unison under the control of hundreds of Jinfan soldiers, and at the same time as a crisp explosion, the boulders weighing hundreds of catties also bombarded Ancheng one after another like meteors falling from the sky.
Thundered!
Rubble splashed, the earth shook, looking at many soldiers on the city wall screaming and being crushed into pulp, Liu Pi, who was hiding at the foot of the city wall, turned pale for a while, not because he was afraid, but because his heart was dripping blood, after all, the thousand soldiers who stayed with him to guard the city were all the most loyal to him in the past, but now, when he watched them die in front of him one by one, he couldn't do anything, this kind of taste, uncomfortable He was almost crazy.
"General, we can't sit still any longer, otherwise even if we are lucky not to be stoned to death by these stones, the courage of the whole army will be lost!" The guards on the side shouted in Liu Bi's ear.
Liu Bi's eyes were red, and he roared fiercely: "Otherwise, what else can I do!?" Kill out of the city? Don't forget that we only have a thousand people, and killing them is not enough to fill the gaps, and we will only die faster when the time comes!! ”
"This ......" The guard hesitated for a moment, then rolled his eyes and suggested, "General, why don't we withdraw!?" ”
"Withdraw?" Liu Bi's heart moved, but in the end he shook his head, "It's not proper, the lord asked us to stay here for an hour, how can we leave our posts without permission?" ”
"What bullshit lord!?" The guard said angrily, "The general thinks he is the lord, but he has already regarded the general as an outcast!" ”
Liu Bi glared at the guard fiercely and scolded, "Shut up." Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, the emperor's uncle is a member of the Han family, and the name of benevolence and righteousness has long been known to the world. How can you say that it is so unbearable!? ”
The guards persuaded bitterly: "General, wake up, that Jinfan has an army of 15,000 troops, and there are siege artifacts such as thunderbolts, how can we survive an hour with just a thousand of us?" And Liu Bei knew that the person who stayed behind would die for life, but he chose the general. Isn't that enough to illustrate anything? ”
"This ......," Liu Bi defended with some confidence, "maybe it's just a coincidence?" ”
"Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences? "The guards stomped their feet in a hurry." The general might as well think about it, since the general's service, most of the soldiers and horses under his command have been incorporated by Liu Bei under various names, and we are the ones who are loyal to the general. Today, he was left behind as an outcast. He is obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to eradicate dissidents, general, you better recognize the reality earlier! ”
Liu Bi's mouth opened slightly, his face was stunned, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, the guards added another force: "The reason why we followed the general to Liu Bei was just to live a better life, and from the root. The general's allegiance is to Duke Yuan, not Liu Bei, so why should we obey his command? ”
That's when it happened. Hearing only the sound of 'boom', a boulder happened to fall in front of Liu Pi's eyes, smashing the ground into a big pit, and Liu Pi was frightened by a spirit, and his soul was almost scattered.
The guard swallowed nervously, and only then did he say in shock: "Will ...... General, it's too dangerous here, let's ...... Let's get out of here! ”
At this moment, Liu Bi seemed to have been moved by the three-inch incorruptible tongue of the guard, and was about to open his mouth to order the evacuation, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly squatted down in frustration, held his head in his hands, and said in annoyance: "Withdraw? Where to retreat? Don't forget that there are cavalry in the Jinfan Army, with the mobility of the cavalry, I am afraid that I have not run far before I have been caught up by the other party! ”
Hearing this, the guard also froze, his face full of horror: "This...... How can this be? Could it be that we are really going to die here today? ”
"Not necessarily!" At this time, Liu Bimeng raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, and there was a hint of perseverance in his eyes, "In fact, there is still a way to save the lives of all of us!" ”
The guard said excitedly: "General, is this true? ”
"Yes!" Liu Bi nodded and said in an astonishing voice, "This road is ...... Drop the sails! ”
"Descend the sails!?" The guard was taken aback, then pondered for a while and said, "It's a good idea, but will people agree?" Wouldn't they kill us all on the spot as soon as we surrendered? ”
"Don't forget Jinfan's origin!" Liu Bi shook his head and said, "Among all the princes, the only one who is likely not to be prejudiced against us is probably Jinfan!" ”
The guards were right when they thought about it, and hurriedly said: "What the general said is very true, since this is the case, let's hurry up and open the city to surrender, so as not to add casualties to the brothers under our command!" ”
Liu Bi slowly stood up, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes: "Hmph, Liu Bei, since you are unkind to me, then don't blame me for being unjust to you, now, you shouldn't have run far, right?" If I tell Jinfan where you are going, see if you can run to Jingzhou smoothly! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Bi suddenly shouted and ordered: "Come on, put the suspension bridge, open the city gate, Lao Tzu wants to descend the brocade sail!" ”
After a few moments, the suspension bridge above Anseong was slowly lowered, and the gate gradually opened with a mechanical 'click' sound.
"Huh?" Outside the city, Wang Chong subconsciously frowned when he saw this, "Isn't it that the other party wants to go out of the city to destroy the thunderbolt?" ”
Jia Xu couldn't help laughing: "There is an iron guard battalion led by General Wang Shuang here, don't say that the other party only has a few thousand people, even if it is tens of thousands, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill in front of the thunderbolt!" ”
Wang Chong smiled, and was about to give the order for the Iron Guard Battalion to attack, but he saw several enemy soldiers at the gate of the city waving excitedly to his side, and it seemed that they were still shouting something, but now the drums were beating and the thunderbolt was still attacking, so he couldn't hear the other party's shouting at all.
"My lord, the situation seems to have changed!" Jia Xu reminded from the sidelines, "Why don't you let the Thunderbolt stop attacking, and listen to what they are shouting!" ”
Wang Chong nodded thoughtfully: "It's okay!" ”
Soon, with Wang Chong's order, the thunderbolt immediately suspended the attack, the sound of drums also subsided, the scene suddenly became extremely quiet, and the words shouted by the soldiers on the opposite side also clearly entered Wang Chong's ears: "General, don't attack again, I will surrender!" ”
"Surrender?" Wang Chong was stunned and asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, is this a fraud?" ”
Jia Xu's brows were deep, and his face suddenly changed: "Isn't it that Liu Bei has abandoned the city and left, and the army in the city is just an abandoned son left by him?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Chong looked at the general at the city gate who was walking towards him with his bare hands and alone, gritted his teeth with a blue face, and said, "Damn, this big-eared thief slipped away so fast!" (To be continued.) )
