Chapter five hundred and forty-four doubts

The huge rocks fly high into the sky.

In Ye City, Jizhou, on the city wall that spread across the city, arrows shot at each other like locusts. In the midst of the battle and shouting of soldiers, someone occasionally ran and fell down while running. No one could care about his injured companion with the fierce attack and defense. He crossed his painful and humming body with a knife and shield, rushed to the wall to fill the gap.

The invasive bloody smell penetrated into people's nostrils, and Yin Kui's body was covered with blood. Some were enemies and some soldiers under his command. He led a group of generals to the top of the city, "I should kill those who are afraid of the enemy and do not fight, so I will not be able to retreat-"

A hysterical roar passed through the city, and then was covered by higher fighting sounds. Outside the stretched wall, the Cao army climbing the ladder was like an ant colony, rushing upwards in black. The archers formed a formation and continued to suppress the city heading, protecting the car below to the city gate. On the city wall, several Yuan soldiers pushed down a big pot together. The hot golden juice grew and pulled out a long dragon in the vertical fall. The Cao soldiers guarding the car below raised their shields to block it, splashing around. Some soldiers who were directly hit, curled up and twisted on the ground, twisting with their shields, making shrill screams. The skin on their faces was instantly scratched and tore off, and they were covered in blood.

Soon, a flying rock fell down with a bang, and the body threw it off the city with a final scream. There were wreckage crushed by the stone under the broken wall bricks.

Two miles away, flags were flying. Cao Cao rode on the snow-white war horse, looking at the Shura-like scene, without much expression. He only occasionally called the commanders and ordered a few orders to modify them. Most of the time, he still said to Cao Pi, who was also riding a horse beside him: "... Last year, my father was forced by Yuan Shao in Guandu Tucheng, and he relied on 20,000 soldiers to defend the battle. Behind him was Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and he could not retreat... Fortunately, he stood firm."

In his sight, the warhead had spread to the top of the city. He smiled and continued to say to his son who turned his face: "...... Look, now everything is reversed, let his son taste Yuan Shao's debt."

On the city wall that was stretched out, Cao soldiers formed a formation and stood firm under the supervision of their respective generals, and then launched a more fierce attack around. The defending general Yi Kai led the team to defend another section of the wall standing on Cao soldiers, "General Cao was killed-"

He shouted and rushed towards the waving tiger-headed sword.

A moment later, the tiger scammer Xu Zhu broke into two pieces, crossed the broken corpse, and wiped off the flesh and blood from the blade with a tall and fat body: "Born... Huh?" He looked over the city tower with his narrow eyes. Although Shen Pei, who was the head guarding the city, was a literati, was loyal and fierce. He also had many wounds left after fighting, and his body was covered in blood. "Who is the guard over there? Why did Cao Bing stand up-"

"General Yi died in battle and was just killed..."

Shen Pei turned his head and was facing the look of the sight, and pointed his sword at him: "Everyone stopped the Cao general and drove them down." However, his nephew Shen Rong came with someone to support him, and pulled him back: "Uncle, go quickly, it's hard to defend here anymore. Don't lose your life, follow me."

"Junior - at worst, the city will be destroyed and the people will die, how can you abandon the guard!" Shen Pei pushed away his nephew's support, held the sword and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Ju and I can die, I, Shen Pei, can die! I dare to die!"

"uncle!"

Shen Pei suddenly raised his sword and pressed it on his neck, and he was angry and said, "If you say another word, I will kill you first!"

The battle spread across the city wall toward this side. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were covered in blood and led people to this side from another section of the city wall. When they saw Xu Zhu walking with a knife, they pointed to the direction of the city tower: "On the other side of Zhongkang! Kill them together."

More and more Cao soldiers rushed away.

"General... it's too late to go."

After the personal soldiers who were guarding Shen Rong said anxiously, Shen Rong looked at his uncle's resolute expression, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet for a moment, and withdrew to the inner city wall with his few remaining subordinates. At the end of his vision, he waved axe and hook and sickle approached the city tower with his fat body.

"Walk!"

Shen Rong naturally didn't want to die, so he rushed down the stone steps and ran into the city.

Behind him, the wind blew across the city, shaking the old man's hair. Shen Pei looked at the sky light and slowly stepped on her feet. When she stepped on the sticky and slippery blood, her body shook and staggered. At both ends of the city wall, the Cao soldiers were split into two groups and rushed to the side. The old man climbed up the wall and stood on it and looked back. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others were only more than ten steps away.

At one moment, he said: "The Lord died and the minister was humiliated, and he should follow him in person."

The gray-bearded hair and beard were caressing in the wind, and the body slowly tilted backwards, then fell and jumped away. Outside the city wall, the dense Cao soldiers were still climbing and surging upwards...

The streets of the city, carriages and pedestrians ran around in panic, and some hid at home to tighten the doors and windows. The once colorful Ye City was shrouded in a mess. Shen Rong, who had fallen down the city wall, led some soldiers through the crowded stream of people, and countless wandering eyes were looking at him.

Not long after, he led his people to quickly walk into Yuan's mansion.

************

Another side yard.

Yuan Xi woke up from his dream and saw the woman sitting by the bed. He felt a little at ease. "Zhen Mi" reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "Have you had a nightmare? It's okay on the other side of the city wall. Even if the city is broken, you will have a chance to leave."

"What about you?"

In nearly a year, Yuan Xi almost treated this girl as a real wife. He grabbed the other person's wrist and started from the bed: "......Don't you leave with your husband?" He quickly got off the bed and took her hand, "What can you do if you are a woman? Don't do anything for Gongsun Zhi, follow me."

"......I'm almost losing Zhen Mi...you're the only one left. Let's go out of the city with me and go far away, okay?"

He repeated a low voice. The girl opposite smiled at him, looking very nice with a pair of dimples. She just shook her head and did not continue the words. At this time, there was an anxious knock outside the door. Before Yuan Xi could react, the door leaf had been pushed open.

Yuan Shang walked in with military uniform and strode into the air: "Second brother, break through with me." Then he looked at the girl in the room, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Cao's army entered the city? You didn't say that you could last for more than a month at least..." Yuan Xi did not continue to talk about it. He closed his eyes in pain. Once Ye City was destroyed, his Yuan family would be in a slump. Originally, he did not fight for the position of inheritance. Without a little internal strife, the city could be defended, and at least he could persist until his elder brother Yuan Tan arrived. However, in fact, he misjudged Cao Cao's current strength.

On the other side, Yuan Shang had just a brief doubt and turned his sight away from the girl. At the critical moment, he had no intention of exploring anything. He immediately stepped forward and pulled Yuan Xi and walked out: "After breaking through the siege, the North Gate siege is still weak, and the family cannot be taken. Let's stay in the city for the time being. The second brother followed me out of the shackles, first surrender to the eldest brother, and then regained the army and then regained Yecheng."

When he was about to reach the door, Yuan Xi stopped and shook his head: "Brother Wei doesn't want to leave..."

"You have to leave. Staying in the city can only be the dead soul under Cao Cao's sword. One of the Yuan family members dies less. How can you start over again and take my second brother on the horse--"

At the gate of the courtyard, a soldier came up and directly held Yuan Xi and pushed him onto the horse. Yuan Xi kept looking back at the gate there during the war. Seeing the figure of the girl chasing him, he shouted: "Wait for me!"

After several teams waiting on the long street welcomed Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, they went to the north gate of Yecheng. In the rear of the team, Shen Rong did not follow him with his subordinates. He stopped in place for a while, looked at the girl at the door, nodded on the horse's back, and then pulled the reins and headed all the way to the south gate.

"Are you loyal to me? The honor has been completed..." He swept over his subordinates behind him and whispered to them: "... It's time to save your life for yourself. Let's open the city gate and surrender."

The city gate opened nearly noon. After receiving the letter of surrender, Cao Cao first glanced at Cao Pi beside him, and then issued an order: "The front army enters the city and takes over all defenses."
