Wang Yan stood outside the west gate, listening to the shouts of killing coming from inside the city, and God looked forward to it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This battle has finally come to the end.
"Crossbowman, prepare!"
Outside the west gate, the generals leading the troops shouted loudly.
Soon, the west gate creaked open, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the city gate.
"The enemy is coming, release the arrows!"
The order was given, and the crossbowmen, who had already lined up, pulled the trigger.
Feathered arrows as thick as little fingers shot out of the air. The power and degree of crossbow arrows are far stronger than those of bows and arrows, and the lethality is increased exponentially. After the first wave of crossbow arrows was fired, most of the first wave of Jizhou soldiers who rushed out were killed and wounded in an instant.
This scene frightened the Jizhou soldiers into chaos.
The crossbow bolts, and still going on!
The biggest flaw was the limited number of crossbow arrows, and at this time, another general ordered: "Archer, prepare!" ”
"Put!"
An order was given, and in an instant, a famous archer stepped forward.
In an instant, there was a frenzied sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air.
"Whew! Shout! ”
The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, constantly shooting at the Jizhou soldiers who rushed out of the city gate.
He led 10,000 soldiers to break through from the West Gate, and as soon as his soldiers went out, they were mercilessly shot by feather arrows before they could rush ten paces away. As soon as his soldiers rushed out, they were shot back by a hail of arrows.
The offensive was once again thwarted.
"Wang Yan has already laid a net outside the city, and the gates of the Quartet are the same. This time out of the city to break through, I am afraid it will be difficult. "Frustrated with his brains, trying to figure out a solution to the problem. However, the fire was raging behind him, and the soldiers under his command were restless, and for a while, he couldn't think of an idea to solve it.
With the enemy resisting in front and the sea of fire spreading behind, frustration is already a dilemma.
"Everything is self-inflicted."
Frustrated with emotion in his heart, Yuan Shao did not use the plan of burning Plains City, and Wang Yan would not have made a plan.
"My lord, if you can't rush out, what should I do?"
The lieutenant of the army repeatedly organized the soldiers to rush out, but several charges failed.
"My lord, the soldiers at the back are in flames. The fire is getting closer and closer, and if we don't rush out, we will definitely die. ”
"Please make a decision quickly!"
"My lord, I still have a wife and children and parents in the villain's house, and I don't want to die here."
One by one, the soldiers spoke, with painful expressions in their eyes.
Frustrated, the expression is extraordinarily entangled. If he was forced by Wang Yan alone, he would not surrender, but at this moment, he had the lives of countless soldiers on his shoulders, and he was overwhelmed.
Frustrated with a deep breath, he ordered, "Let the soldiers throw away their weapons outside the city and surrender." ”
A surrender, frustrated and sighed, after all, he was going to surrender.
Will he be the first to surrender?
The mood of frustration is extremely complicated.
Surrounded by soldiers, he walked out in a daze.
Wang Yan looked at the Jizhou soldiers who kept rushing out outside the West Gate, his eyes were sharp. He made arrangements early, even if the Jizhou army continued to break through, it would be useless. Suddenly, Wang Yan heard the words of the Jizhou soldiers surrendering, and saw the Jizhou soldiers throwing away the weapons in their hands one by one.
Seeing this, Wang Yan ordered: "Accept surrender!" "When the war started, Wang Yan didn't know which direction Yuan Shao was going to break through, and accepting the surrender of Ximen would be of great benefit to intercepting Yuan Shao's breakthrough next.
The army outside the west gate stopped attacking, and the Jizhou soldiers threw away their weapons and ran out of the city as fast as possible. They had just escaped from the fire, but they were surrounded again.
It didn't take long for Fu Zhu to be brought to Wang Yan.
Facing Wang Yan, he arched his hand and said: "The defeated general is frustrated, and I have seen the history of Wang Thorn." ”
Wang Yan's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't expect that the leader of the troops was frustrated. Wang Yan said: "The frustrated prince and the talent are outstanding, full of strategy, and the official has long been admired. ”
Frustrated and arrogant, he said: "The army was defeated at the hands of Wang Tingshi, how can there be any strategy." ”
"Just because you lose to me doesn't mean you can't. This may be Yuan Shao's reason. Wang Yan changed his words and asked: "Mr. Fu went to the west gate to break through, then, who are the other city gates who led the troops to break through?" ”
He replied, "The east gate is led by the lord himself? Tian Feng walked through the south gate, and Zhang Jaw walked through the north gate. ”
Wang Yan smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Fu!" ”
"Report!"
At this moment, a scout ran over quickly and reported: "My lord, the north gate opened his jaw and led the army out of the city to surrender. Now, the army under Zhang Jaw has been controlled. ”
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Tell Guan Hai to temporarily garrison at the north gate and not move the army." ”
"No!"
The scout received the order and turned to deliver the order.
Frustrated: "Wang Tingshi learned that the lord was at the east gate, didn't he lead the army there?" ”
Wang Yan smiled slightly and replied: "Naturally, I have to lead the army to go, but what if Yuan Shao can't break through from the east gate, and retreats into the city and breaks through through other city gates?" Although there was a fire in the city, and it was unlikely that after going to the east gate, it was unlikely that he would retreat to other city gates, but it was necessary to put an end to future troubles and prevent Yuan Shao from escaping. ”
"Report!"
The horses galloped, and another scout hurried back.
Scout Hou Yu reported: "Lord Qiyu, the Jizhou army led by Nanmen Tian Feng has all surrendered. Now, Tian Feng and the Jizhou army under his command have all been controlled. ”
Wang Yan instructed: "Pass the order, the army will not move, and it will be temporarily stationed at the south gate." ”
"No!"
The scout turned, and hurried to deliver the order.
Wang Yan left a group of soldiers to garrison at the west gate, and left Fu Zhi and his troops in place, so he led his main force towards the east gate.
The commander of the East Gate is Huang Zhong, and the soldiers under his command are the elite of the army.
In order to prevent the Jizhou soldiers from breaking through, Huang Zhong arranged crossbowmen, archers, pikemen, shield soldiers, and a part of the cavalry to set up a line of defense outside the east gate.
At the same time, the fire in the city spread, which made Yuan Shao and his Jizhou soldiers even more uncomfortable.
"Lord, the Qingzhou soldiers are too elite. Our soldiers could not rush out, and even those who did were killed. ”
Yan Liang stood beside Yuan Shao with an embarrassed expression.
On his shoulder, he was hit by a bow and arrow, and it was even more bloody, and the blood soaked the clothes on his shoulders into a blood-red color. But the situation was critical, and Yan Liang didn't have time to deal with his injuries.
Wen Chou was guarding Yuan Shao's side, his face was tired, and he failed to charge even once.
"My lord, the soldiers in the city are on fire. There were even more coals burning under the city walls, and the heat in the urn city was steaming, and the soldiers couldn't rush out, and they couldn't stand it. Some soldiers are about to mutiny, my lord, we are about to lose control. ”
In addition to the army led by Tian Feng, Zhang Jaw and Fu Zhu, Yuan Shao also had tens of thousands of troops under his command. These tens of thousands of troops are all blocked in the city and cannot rush out, and once there is internal strife, the situation is very dangerous.
Yuan Shao's face looked anxious, and if the army couldn't rush out, he would face a sea of fire.
What to do?
Yuan Shao's heart didn't think of paying attention.
Yuan Shao asked, "Guo Tu, do you have any way?" ”
Guo Tu shook his head and said, "My lord, I can't think of a solution to it." At this time, even if it is Guo Tu, there is no solution to it, so he can only wait for death.
"Is it true that you are going to surrender?" Yuan Shao had no way to escape, and such thoughts were bred deep in his heart. After all, there is no way out inside or outside now.
"Pass the order, surrender!"
Yuan Shao sighed lightly and made the most helpless decision.
Unable to let the soldiers rush out, Yuan Shao had no choice but to surrender, no matter what, save his life first.
When Wang Yan and his army had just arrived at the East Gate, they encountered Yuan Shao's soldiers who ordered him to surrender. Witnessing Huang Zhong's surrender of all the Jizhou soldiers, Wang Yan had a bright smile on his face.
This battle is won!
It didn't take long for Yuan Shao to be brought in front of Wang Yan.
Looking at the embarrassed Yuan Shao, Wang Yan smiled and groaned: "Brother Benchu, don't come to harm?" ”
