Chapter 296: Surrender or Don't Kill

Seeing Wei Yan and Gan Ning going to pursue Feng Ji, Hua Xiong was not idle.

He led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to kill in the direction of the Yellow River beach, where Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were still fighting.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang took the lead, raised the long knife in his hand, and attacked Yuan Jun from behind.

As soon as they saw the arrival of reinforcements, the troops led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were immediately demoralized.

On the contrary, the morale of the Yuan soldiers became extremely low.

Hua Xiong took this opportunity to let his subordinates hold high the handsome flag representing Feng Ji and shouted,

"Feng Ji has fled, you will not kill if you surrender!"

Hearing such a slogan, and then seeing Feng Ji's handsome banner, and the soldiers on the river beach, they completely lost the courage and belief to fight.

They dropped their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.

The battlefield was soon over.

After taking stock, Feng Ji arranged for the 30,000 soldiers who defended on the river beach, 3,000 were killed in battle, and the rest all surrendered.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing three thousand Yuan soldiers and obtaining three thousand merit points."

Hua Xiong listened to the prompt sound of the system, and he was a little numb.

Now he doesn't care how much merit he has.

"Now clean up the battlefield, collect the prisoners, and put the supplies in order.

The rest of the people rested in place, and after an hour, set off in the direction of Yecheng! ”

Hua Xiong commanded in a loud voice.

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Liao's generals ordered him to leave quickly.

After an hour's rest, the army set out on its journey again.

Within a few miles, Hua Xiong met Gan Ning and Wei Yan, who were returning home.

"How?"

Hua Xiong asked.

"Hey, Feng Ji, that kid ran too fast."

Gan Ning said this with a look of regret.

"We have chased ten miles outside Yecheng, if it weren't for the reinforcements in Yecheng, we would have eaten them."

Wei Yan was also full of regret.

Hua Xiong groaned slightly, and said softly,

"Yuan Shang sent troops to attack Yuan Tan, and there must not be many troops in the city.

Let's attack Yecheng now, and we must take Yecheng before Yuan Shang returns to the city! ”

"Whoa!"

The generals responded in unison.

The 100,000-strong army quickened its pace, and finally arrived at Yecheng a few hours later.

According to the usual practice, Hua Xiong walked slowly to a few hundred steps in front of the city gate, and said in a loud voice,

"Those in the city, now put down their weapons and surrender, and protect your glory and wealth."

Seeing Hua Xiong and the 100,000 army behind him, there was a commotion on the city wall.

After a while, an expressionless Feng Ji poked his head out of the city wall.

"Huaxiong, don't daydream, we will fight to the last soldier!"

"Really?" Hua Xiong laughed, "You guys ran faster than anyone else just now." ”

Hearing Hua Xiong mention the battle just now, the anger on Feng Ji's face flashed.

He snorted coldly and said angrily,

"Don't take advantage of your tongue, if you have the ability, come and attack the city!

I have already made it clear to my lord that he will be back from the city of Liyang in a short time.

Then will be your death! ”

Hua Xiong saw that Feng Ji's attitude was so resolute, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore.

He rode back, and with a wave of his hand,

"Siege!"

"Woo......"

A heavy horn sounded, and the army behind Hua Xiong began to move.

On this expedition, the Ordnance Department sent a 3,000-strong engineer baggage team.

Their task is to open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers.

When it comes to siege cities, they are also responsible for manufacturing and assembling siege equipment.

The sappers lined up the large and small parts, and in less than a stick of incense, twenty tall catapults were assembled.

Another chariot with a battering ram attached to it was slowly pushed towards the city gates.

In addition, there are dozens of movable towers, which are full of soldiers under Hua Xiong.

As soon as the turrets were moved to the edge of the city wall, and the planks were lowered, the soldiers would pounce on the city.

Seeing these well-prepared siege equipment, Feng Ji, Ma Yan, and Zhang Yi couldn't help but gasp.

This Nima, Hua Xiong is prepared!

Even if Yecheng has been strengthened by Yuan Shao for so many years, the wall is high and the city is strong, but under Huaxiong's offensive, it is difficult to say how long it can last.

It seems that we can only hope that the Lord will return quickly!

Feng Ji sighed and looked in the far southeast.

At this moment, the drums were already sounding in the Huaxiong army.

Siege warfare, officially begun!

……

Under the city of Liyang.

Yuan Shang glanced at the low Liyang city wall and said disdainfully,

"Which general is willing to come forward and call for battle?"

His voice landed, and a burly general stood up,

"The last general, Lu Kuang, wishes to go!"

"Good!"

Yuan Shang nodded with satisfaction,

"If you make meritorious contributions, I will naturally be rewarded."

Lu Kuang was overjoyed, hurriedly picked up the big knife next to him, and rushed out of the battle on horseback in a hurry.

"Oh, the thief, come out and fight with Lao Tzu!"

Lu Kuang shouted loudly.

Yuan Tan on the city wall looked at Jiang Wei and Deng Ai next to him.

I saw the two of them smiling at the corners of their mouths, looking at the city wall with a calm expression.

Yuan Tan couldn't help frowning.

If he thinks according to his thoughts, then no matter how much Yuan Shangfang shouts, he will never go out of the city to face the battle.

One is to preserve his strength, and the other is to let Hua Xiong fight with Yuan Shang to the death.

But with Deng Ai and Jiang Wei here, it is not easy for him to hang up the war-free card.

Thinking of this, Yuan Tan looked at the generals behind him.

Cen Bi stood up knowingly,

"My lord, I would like to go."

It didn't take long for the gate of Liyang City to open, and Cen Bi rushed out on horseback.

"Lu Kuang Xiao'er, don't be arrogant, let me meet you!"

Lu Kuang looked at it and immediately laughed,

"I thought it was you, but it was you. You're no match for me, go back and let your lord come out. ”

"Is it an opponent, let's see the real chapter in our hands!"

Cen Bi was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lu Kuang, so he slapped the horse and killed him.

The two fought to a single regiment.

Swords and swords, you come and go.

The crowd next to them was so drunk.

At this moment, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei shook their heads in unison.

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly,

"Why did the two generals shake their heads?"

"Cen Bi is defeated."

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei said in unison.

The two didn't expect each other to say that, so they looked at each other and immediately laughed.

But when Yuan Tan heard this, he couldn't laugh at it.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a little displeasure,

"Cen Bi is my general, he is extremely brave, how can he be defeated?"

"If you don't believe me, he'll hold on for five more rounds at most. What do you think, Boyo? Deng Ai chuckled.

"I don't think so." Jiang Wei shook his head and said seriously, "I don't think three rounds can be more." ”

Hearing that the two of them despised Cen Bi so much, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others were a little dissatisfied.

If it had been someone else, Yuan Tan would have been furious.
