Chapter 224: Confrontation at the Palace Gate (1)
With the addition of Zhuang Shaoyou with hundreds of fresh troops, the morale of the whole army was high, and it was finally able to withstand the impact of Yuan Shao's iron cavalry, and even the cavalry general could not exceed the slightest surprise attack, and the casualties on both sides were not small, especially the casualties on the cavalry side were greater.
This made the cavalry general very annoyed, 5,000 iron cavalry against 3,000 infantry, and they couldn't even do it? How is this possible!
At this moment, Yuan Shao's military order arrived again:
"The whole army retreats! Retreat to the Royal Palace! ”
The palace gate was finally breached, Yuan Shao knew that it was impossible to eliminate Zhuang Shaoyou today, so he urged the infantry to go all out to conquer the palace gate, intending to defend the city, even if Zhuang Shaoyou was elite, the number was so small, it was impossible to attack, seize the time to eradicate the ten permanent servants, hold the emperor in his hand, and then use the emperor's name to deal with Zhuang Shaoyou, ten take it firm!
Although the cavalry general had nowhere to vent his anger, and he hated Zhuang Shaoyou to the core, reason told him that it was impossible to eliminate Zhuang Shaoyou today! In desperation, he finally ordered a retreat.
The pressure on Zhuang Shaoyou's side was suddenly relaxed, but seeing that the cavalry quickly broke away from the battle and headed north, Zhuang Shaoyou was suddenly shocked, and the palace was lost! This is the only one possible! But how can it be so fast? There are also tens of thousands of people in the hands of the ten permanent attendants, although the combat effectiveness is almost good, but the palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to conquer it in a short time?
In fact, if Zhuang Shaoyou knew that all this was planned by Yuan Shao, he would not be so confused! Yuan Shao wants to attack the palace, how can he not arrange it in advance? Rushing is only one of its means, there are other conspiracies and conspiracies to cooperate with each other, and it is reasonable to break through the palace!
Although Zhuang Shaoyou wanted to entangle, but the other party was a cavalry, even if he couldn't break through the defense line, but there was still no way to keep it, except for a few unlucky people who were shot off their horses by the bows and arrows in the back, the cavalry brigade still withdrew from the battle in time and flew away in the direction of the palace.
Lejin quickly counted the casualties, in less than two quarters of an hour just now, his side had killed more than 300 people, and the light and serious injuries added up to more than 300!
The numbers came up, Zhuang Shaoyou hated it so much, this damn Yuan Shao, he had never provoked him, he couldn't get along with himself again and again this dog's day, and he definitely couldn't spare him!
At this moment, Zhuang Shaoyou's Yuan army was late, Tian Feng commanded thousands of soldiers to join Zhuang Shaoyou, and all the heavy weapons were brought over, but he was still a step late, if it was a little earlier, maybe he could beat Yuan Shao more painfully, but despite this, Yuan Shao's iron cavalry still paid the price of more than 700 casualties, which was slightly more than Zhuang Shaoyou's side.
Zhuang Shaoyou remembered the purpose of this, and immediately ordered: "The whole army advances to the old siege city!" ”
Tian Feng was immediately anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "The general thinks twice!" Our army is good at positional warfare, attacking the city is its own short and attacking the other's long, the terrain of the palace is dangerous, and the opponent has many people, and the casualties will be great if you attack rashly! ”
Le Jin obviously agreed with Tian Feng's opinion, Zhuang Shaoyou was not an arbitrary person, nodded slightly, and sighed: "The first emperor entrusted the princess of Wannian to this general before his death, although there is a suspicion of design, but this general has promised to protect the princess thoroughly, then the princess will definitely not be lost, and the same is true for the emperor!" ”
Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the general is not the master who insists on going his own way, otherwise this good situation will be ruined! Hearing Zhuang Shaoyou's words, his head started to run quickly, and soon, he had a plan, and whispered a few words in Zhuang Shaoyou's ear, Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"That's it!"
The two armies confronted each other in front of the palace gate, Yuan Shao sent people to clean up the remnants of the palace while letting the elite stick to the palace gate, there were many people on his side, Zhuang Shao and few tourists, as long as he guarded against his long-range weapons, he would definitely not be able to attack!
Everything was arranged, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, but soon changed his mind, if Zhuang Shaoyou came to attack the city, wouldn't it be better? Anyway, these people in their hands are not their own descendants, it doesn't matter if they are killed or injured, and it is easier to integrate, the most important thing is to deepen their hatred with Zhuang Shaoyou again!
But Zhuang Shaoyou is not a stupid person, how can he be allowed to attack the city? Yuan Shao thought hard for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, there is!
"Someone! Send someone to capture the princess of Wannian! ”
His subordinates immediately set about it, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and said to himself triumphantly: "Aren't you known as a lover?" Dare to do anything for a woman, okay, this time see what tricks you can toss! ”
After a while, the men reported:
"My lord, the princess of Wannian is gone, and the Xiehuang and Zhang Rang are gone!"
"What?! You repeat? ”
Looking at Yuan Shao's eyes that were about to eat people, the scout jumped, and stammered: "Big, big, big, my lord, the princess of Wannian is gone, and the Xiehuangye is gone!" ”
Yuan Shao pulled out his sword with a loud voice, pointed it at the scout, and said coldly: "You bunch of waste! What do you want? ”
The soldiers around looked at Yuan Shao in horror, Yuan Shao seemed to feel everyone's strange gaze, pondered, tried to restrain his anger, put his sword back into its sheath, and shouted: "Why don't you send someone to chase after you?" Let the cavalry battalion send a thousand-man team to chase after it! ”
The scout was already soaked, and he was so frightened by Yuan Shao's momentum just now that he peed his pants, he thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to pick up a life, God bless! God forbid! Turn around and run away, this soldier can't be a soldier anymore! But what do you eat if you don't go to the soldiers?
The scout ran to deliver the message while contemplating a way out.
Soon, the people sent by Zhuang Shaoyou to run errands came back, escorting the Yuan family to the gate of the palace, Zhuang Shaoyou walked over to check, there were not many people, but they were all well-dressed, and at first glance they were pampered masters!
"Master Taifu, don't come to harm!"
Yuan Kui, as the most critical hostage, of course couldn't escape, as soon as Zhuang Shaoyou's soldiers arrived at Yuan's mansion just now, the guards still wanted to resist, Yuan Kui immediately stopped the futile actions of the people below after hearing the news for the first time, and became a hostage very cooperatively.
"Hehe, the old man has long wanted to be close to the young master, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes! I didn't expect to have the opportunity to talk to the young master today, but I never thought it would be such a scene! ”
Yuan Kui's words were very reasonable, and Zhuang Shaoyou was also impressed when he heard it, this old man is still very standard, but unfortunately he is already on the same page with the Yuan family, and there is no chance of repair.
"Master Taifu, I have to be offended!"
Zhuang Shaoyou personally escorted the Yuan family's younger brothers to the palace gate, Yuan Shao got a report from his subordinates, and hurriedly came over to check, and saw that the people in front were all familiar, it was dark at this time, but his relatives still recognized it, not to mention that there were so many of them, and his uncle Yuan Kui was also there!
Yuan Shao suddenly became angry: "Zhuang Shaoyou! You despicable villain! Why are you holding my Yuan family hostage? My uncle is the prince of the court, how is it different from rebellion when you do this? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't bother to argue with him, and went straight to the point: "Yuan Benchu, don't talk nonsense, one request, Princess Wannian and Xiehuang, replace!" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was even more angry: "Fart!" There is no princess of Wannian here, and the emperor is nowhere to be seen, what do you ask me to exchange with you? If you want to rebel, just say it, why bother with so many excuses? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Give you a quarter of an hour, if you can't see the Emperor Xiehuang and Princess Wannian, this general will start cutting down the people of your Yuan family, you can do it!" ”
Yuan Shao was shocked and angry, there was really no one in his hands! If there is, it can only be used to replace people, but it is a little unwilling, just a good game of chess today, but it was disturbed by this Zhuang Shaoyou!
"Zhuang Shaoyou! I don't share the sky with you, I Yuan Shao swear today that I will not destroy your clan and swear not to be a human being! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou sneered disdainfully: "There are more people who want to destroy this general's clan, there are no more of you, and no less of you!" General Ben has no grievances with you, you have repeatedly designed to frame General Ben, and General Ben has not settled this account with you! Originally, our grievances could be resolved individually, but since you like to involve the whole clan so much, then okay, let's use the whole clan to make a bet! See who destroys whose people first! ”
After speaking, Zhuang Shaoyou stood there and closed his eyes to recuperate, no longer speaking, let Yuan Shao insult in every way, and no longer answered.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhuang Shaoyou opened his eyes and shouted to Yuan Shao above: "Yuan Benchu, ask you again for the last time, do you want to change or not?" If not, General Ben will keep his promise and start cutting people! ”
Yuan Shao in the city was furious: "Zhuang Shaoyou, don't go too far!" I am the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, if you offend my Yuan family, you are the enemy of the whole world! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't bother to take care of him, turned his head to the Yuan family and asked, "Which of you will come first?" ”
As soon as these words came out, those Yuan family descendants were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and a few timid ones were so frightened that they peed their pants, Zhuang Shaoyou looked at it with contempt for a while, and asked in a cold voice: "What?" None of you foodies are willing to take the initiative to sacrifice themselves for the Yuan family? General Ben really feels sorry for your Yuan family! ”
"Young master, don't scare them, let's come first! The old man still has one thing to ask for, it is the old man's last wish, after the old man goes, please let the young master let them go, I think they will not pose any threat to the young master. ”
Someone finally took the initiative to stand up, this person is of course the head of the Yuan family, Taifu Yuan Kui.
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Yuan Kui with a serious face, and was stunned for a moment, he didn't plan to cut people, but he had to send an arrow on the string, not to mention that even if he really cut people, he couldn't cut Yuan Kui, and now this old man jumped out by himself, it's really tricky, he did it on purpose, it must be!
But Yuan Kui looks righteous and awe-inspiring, so that people can't see any traces of artificiality!
Oscar for Best Actor? There are many talents in Huaxia!
In fact, although Yuan Kui expected that Zhuang Shaoyou would not cut him, but this posture was not all fake, after this series of things, Yuan Kui also saw through, none of the Yuan family could help up, he was originally the most outstanding brother of the next generation, but his mind was too narrow-minded, his strength was insufficient, and he was originally a very good successor, but he was carried away by jealousy!
Now that the world is in chaos, the Han court is obviously approaching, and the Yuan family has no successor, how can they gain a foothold in this troubled era? Instead of sitting and watching the Yuan family exterminate the clan, it is better to die clean!
