Under Changyi City:

Chen Wu ordered the catapults to bombard Changyi City violently. Round after round of catapults were blasted out, leaving craters on the city walls.

The city wall has been broken and damaged in many areas.

Liu Hu and Wang Ye ordered the city defenders to constantly repair the city wall and strive to resist the Xiakou army's attack.

"General Liu, if this continues, the city wall will collapse in a few days. Then we will be in danger without the city wall to rely on."

Wang Yedao.

"There is nothing we can do about it. The Xiakou Army's siege weapons are too powerful, and we have no better way to stop them, unless we lead troops and horses out of the city to fight."

Liu Hu said.

"I heard that Beihai was also attacked. It seems that we cannot defend Qingzhou! Send the message to Governor Liu as soon as possible so that he can be mentally prepared."

Wang Yedao.

"Xiakou Army has set aside a passage specifically for us to use when escaping. I sent someone to check it.

No ambush was found. It seems that the Xiakou Army wants us to abandon the city wall and escape!"

Liu Hu said.

well!

Wang Ye let out a long sigh.

"Where can we escape? Once the two cities of Changyi and Beihai are destroyed, we can only retreat to Linzi.

When the time comes, Xiakou's army will attack from two directions and will be unable to defend it. Even if they don't attack the city, they just need to surround the city.

Once there is a shortage of food and grass in the city, it is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed. Once Linzi is lost, it will be impossible to defend Mount Tai and Le'an."

Liu Hu said.

When Chen Wu bombarded the city wall of Changyi, Zhang Ren and Yan Zhi led a cavalry division to attack the surrounding cities of Changyi.

Those small county towns were not garrisoned by Liu Biao's direct descendants. When they saw the Xiakou Cavalry Division approaching, they all opened their city gates and surrendered.

At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army, bandits, and road bullies gathered in the local area were eliminated, and no room for survival was allowed, and they were eliminated one by one.

When many people in Qingzhou saw that Xiakou's army had captured the city, they not only opened warehouses to stockpile grain, but the newly appointed officials also distributed free fields to the people, which made the people extremely happy.

As the Xiakou Army occupied more and more territory, various policies and guidelines spread, causing unrest among the people in unliberated areas.

As for the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, as soon as they heard that the Xiakou Army was coming to kill them, they immediately fled north and did not dare to fight against them.

Linzi City Lord's Mansion:

"Everyone, there is a letter from Changyi and Beihai saying that the Xiakou Army's attack is very powerful and the two places cannot resist for a long time. Is there any good way for us to save the people in the Qingzhou area and stop the Xiakou Army's attack?"

Liu Biao said.

"Liu Prefect, there is a huge gap in strength between us and the Xiakou Army, and we cannot withstand the Xiakou Army's attack.

Once the two cities of Changyi and Beihai are lost, Xiakou's army will attack Linzi City. Once they are surrounded, we will have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth."

Han Song said.

"Lord Governor, now more than half of Qingzhou's territory has been captured by the Xiakou Army. Once Beihai,

The two areas of Changyi have been lost, and we are left with only four counties, which cannot be defended at all. Especially these four areas belong to the plains.

A flat river. We in Qingzhou are all infantry. How can we defeat the Xiakou Cavalry Division? The Xiakou Army has 40,000 cavalry and is invincible on the plains.

Lord Governor, you should consider your options!"

Wang Candao.

Liu Biao also knew in his heart that without foreign aid, it would be a fool's errand to resist the Xiakou Army's attack.

Liu Biao was confused!

When Jiang Qian was on his mission, Liu Biao was very arrogant and had no surname. He wanted to play tricks on Xiakou's army, but his idea was too naive.

Xiakou's army swept across and crushed them with the force of the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, taking the cities one by one and giving Liu Biao a hard slap on the face.

"Uncle Ji, you are going to Xiakou as an envoy to have a good talk with Qin Qi. Ask Qin Qi what treatment he will give us if we surrender."

Liu Biao said.

Yiji despised Liu Biao in his heart. When Jiang Qian came, he was so arrogant. Now that Xiakou army has sent troops and cannot defeat him, he went to talk about surrender. Under such circumstances, he still wants to get good treatment.

It’s such a nightmare!

"Lord, I can only strive for the best I can. As for what kind of benefits I can get, I don't know what kind of benefits I can get."

Yiji Road.

"Uncle Ji, try your best to fight for it! Also, if you have a chance, you can go and see Queen Mother He and ask her to help fight for it."

Liu Biao said.

Liu Biao once worked as an aide in General He Jin's mansion and had met the Queen Mother He. After all, Liu Biao was also a disciple of the royal family.

"Lord Governor, don't you offer something?"

Yiji Road.

"I will check the warehouse later to see what I can send to Queen Mother He."

Liu Biao said.

Liu Biao was considered an upright official, but he really didn't have much good stuff in his hands.

There are just some books. There is no shortage of books of all kinds in the Xiakou area now, unless there are orphan copies or the like.

"As you command!"

Yiji Road.

"Lord Governor, you know Yuan Shao and your relationship should be good. If that doesn't work, you can consider crossing the Yellow River and surrendering to Yuan Shao. It's also a good choice."

Han Song said.

In terms of relationship, Liu Biao was certainly willing to surrender to Yuan Shao. After all, he knew Yuan Shao but not Qin Qi.

The problem is that now, in the entire world, Xiakou Qinqi has the largest territory and the strongest strength. It is not safe to surrender to Yuan Shao!

"I'll think about it again."

Liu Biao said.

…

Changyi battlefield:

After more than ten days of bombardment, the city wall was in tatters and could no longer stop the Xiakou army's attack.

"The cloud echelon team is up, the city climbing team is following closely behind, we will capture the city in one fell swoop."

Chen Wudao.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"General Zhang, General Yan, the cavalry division is ready. Once the city gate is opened, the cavalry division will rush into the city and take control of the warehouse."

Chen Wudao.

"General Chen, don't worry, our cavalry division is ready."

Zhang Rendao.

A Xiakou infantryman ran down the city wall carrying a ladder.

The catapults stopped bombarding the city, and the archers of the cavalry division stepped forward to use bows and arrows to protect the infantry who climbed the city.

A series of ladders were set up under the city wall.

The infantrymen of the Xiakou Army quickly climbed up the ladders with shields and sabers in hand, heading towards the top of the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall only felt that the catapults were not attacking, and thought that the Xiakou Army's attack was over for the day.

As soon as I stood up, I saw densely packed Xiakou Army soldiers climbing up with shields in their hands, and I was stunned for a moment.

The enemy is coming!

One of the city defenders shouted.

The soldiers of the Xiakou Army were very fast and jumped onto the city wall. Holding a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, they rushed towards the defenders on the city wall.

The sword light lit up.

puff!

One of the city defenders had his body penetrated.

Bang!

The defender stabbed the shield with a spear, causing no damage. The Xiakou Army soldier freed his hand and swung his sword.
