Chapter seven hundred and twentieth
boom!
On a section of the city wall, the battlements cracked under the bombardment of stone bombs, and made a twisted and broken sound and fell down the city wall with debris. Xu Huang pushed it away in a dusty face. Several of his guards held large shields in front of him, with their heads sealed tightly. The stone chips that were falling from flying, and the arrows hit the iron sheets, and then bounced away. The shouts and roars of the soldiers around him never stopped. The archer carrying the quiver stood up from the shield soldiers, stood up from the battlements, and pulled the bow to shoot down the wall.
The siege was not about placing troops in the field, or breaking into the enemy's formation and killing generals and flags. At this time, Xu Huang's role was to maintain morale and the role of morale to the greater extent. The middle-level generals and officers commanded their respective troops to guard the city section they were responsible for, but at present, they had never experienced such a "shameless" tactic.
Arrows fell on the top of the city like raindrops.
There were more stone bombs mixed with them, and they were pouring down dozens and hundreds of times. Rocks as big as millstones fell into the pile of people running, hitting pieces of figures. Some directly bombarded the soldiers' shields, and the people and shields pressed on the ground and rolled around for several times to pull out a long dark red blood blanket.
"Bow and Arrow"
Pushing away the shield in front, Xu Huang drew his sword and slashed out. When a feather arrow broke his feet, he shouted hysterically: "Get back!"
In the distance of vision, the towering torsional stone throwing rack kept creaking, and even one or two of them were operating too frequently, and the beams broke and collapsed. The Roman auxiliary soldiers who obtained the Chinese were promptly repaired by the commander's scolding. Under the farther banner, Marcusius, who was supervising, looked at the white giant wolf flag with some anxiety about such a thing. Thousands of troops were guarding there, and the wolf king holding this huge army sat on a chair under the shade of the tree, looking at the city wall burning fiercely as flames.
"Yu Du from the west is almost ready. I'm sending him an order to attack the city walls in the west of Yecheng. Before dark, I'll see a wolf flag hanging on the top of the city!"
The wolf head embedded in the shoulder armor seemed to roar. In the sound of a low voice, Gongsun Zhi sat under the tree with a golden knife, pressing his knees with his hands on his knees. His whole body seemed to be integrated into the shadow. The guard wolf cavalry extended left and right, and set out in an arc. On both sides of him were Dian Wei and Li Ke standing. In front of them were stone bullets falling towards the city wall like raindrops. Countless figures struggled, running, and fighting back in the falling rocks. Everyone resisted desperately, trying to hold the city section in the storm.
During this period, he did not do his best to attack the city. After learning that Cao Cao was seriously ill and retreated to Xudu, he also conducted a test along the way to see if the other party had a trick to ambush himself, or circled around and attacked the baggage behind him. However, at such a slow speed, he was convinced that Cao Cao was indeed seriously ill. Therefore, last month he made changes to his plan to go south, and did not need soldiers to attack the city as much as possible. He wanted to delay a little time. Once Xu Du completely exploded in panic and uneasy, the entire Jizhou would no longer need one soldier to completely take it down.
"Gongsun Zhi! If you can't take Yecheng, how could Xu Huang be so unbearable to me?"
"...The lord will soon bring his troops north again. You will be like Yuan Benchu who was defeated and fled back to Youzhou to wait for death!!"
...
The roaring and scolding sound came from the two bound generals of Cao not far away. It was Li Dian and Le Jin who were guarding Wei County, Yin'an, and 100,000 troops heading south. The cavalry that advanced directly cut off the contact between the two cities. The Liaodong infantry was the main force, and Guo Si's Xiliang army forced to climb the city. It was captured in an afternoon. When Le Jin abandoned the city and fled, he was shot by Zhao Yun and became a prisoner. Li Dian was directly swept the iron helmet and fell into a coma by Huang Zhong on the top of the city.
Gongsun Zhi, who was sitting on the chair, only occasionally looked at the two of them and ignored them. At this time, the scout stopped a few fast horses from the south, checked the letters, and rushed towards the central army. Li Ke then took it into his hands, and did not dare to neglect and walked over quickly.
"The leader, the leader, was Cao Cao's man in the south."
Looking at the city wall, the wolf king retracted his gaze, opened Su Bo and put it away, and then leaned against the back of the chair and fell silent, expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Dian and Le Jin were still roaring, Gongsun Zhi slowly stood up, and his cloak was caressed by the chair and dragged it to the ground.
"Gongsun Zhi, I have the will to kill me."
".....I. Li Dian..." After the words stopped, the tall figure covered up, blocking the sunlight. Gongsun Zhi's expression could not be seen in the shadow, but he slowly pulled out the blade along his arm, and then slashed it down with a knife.
The bound rope broke and fell to the ground. Li Dian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly bounced up, waved his fist and hit the opposite side. When his hand reached halfway, he was pinched by a thick palm. The terrifying force lifted him off the ground. When he hung it in the air, he heard Gongsun Zhi's voice that was so calm that he had no emotions.
"You... follow me to Xuchang."
The sound drifted away. Soon after, the attack of the stone bullets on the city gradually stopped. The Cao soldiers on the city grabbed a moment of break and sat on the ground to rest until the afternoon light showed a dim color. The army outside the city shot a letter to inform them of Cao Cao's critical illness. Xu Huang tore the message apart and threw it down the city wall: "This is Gongsun Zhi's plan to attack the heart. Don't be fooled!"
The soldiers continued to rest, and he walked on the top of the city, gritting his teeth.
"Master...Master..."
The setting sun is like blood.
The choked voice was extremely low. Looking at the direction of Xuchang in the south, I thought over and over again. Outside the city, the remaining red slanting westward shone on the earth. Xu Huang saw a cavalry running south...
*******
In the red glow, two long soldiers attacked in mid-air, splashing out Mars.
Sili, Yucheng.
Above the city, in countless sights, two war horses, one red and one yellow, crossed by, the sound of gold and iron exploded in the air, the curly red rabbit turned around, facing the city wall, and the woman halberdly stepped on her horse: "How does Uncle think of Lingqi's martial arts now?"
"It's considered qualified." Zhang Liao nodded, "But taking Yucheng is not just martial arts. At that time, my uncle will not be lenient."
Lu Lingqi looked back at the city wall behind her, as well as the three generals, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian and Song Xian, above, "Uncle, they are all from me, Bingzhou, and so are you." She turned around and pushed the horse to slowly approach the past: "Why did the people of Bingzhou fight with the people of Bingzhou? When my father and uncle followed Jianyang Gong out of Bingzhou with their brothers, didn't they shed enough blood?"
"This is different. Liao is now General Cao. All the brothers on the city wall are soldiers and generals of the Cao family. They are not like children playing houses. Do you still understand Lingqi?!"
"I don't understand it is you"
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, a majestic voice came from the Xiliang army formation behind him. He hurriedly rode his horse back and opened in a row. A black and handsome horse slowly came out, and the iron hooves stepped on the ground made a jingle sound. The body sitting on the reins was as tall and mighty as he remembered. The golden lock beast faces the head-swallowing armor, and a Han sword as thick as an arm on his waist. When the cloak swung in the wind, it stood in front of people like a mountain, with an illusion that it was insurmountable.
"Fengxian..." He called softly.
The knight who came over stopped at a distance of two feet. The mountain wind stroked his gray hair, and a pair of thick eyebrows penetrated under his temples. He looked at Zhang Liao with a star-like eyes: "Wenyuan, if the situation has changed today, it is time to make a choice. If you keep dragging it down like this, your children and grandchildren will live in this world full of wars. Human life is as cheap as grass. Do you say that they know in the future that they have the chance to live in a peaceful and prosperous era, but they have missed it. Will they hate you?"
"...If the world continues to be in chaos like this, how many brothers who came out of Bingzhou with us can repay you? Wen Yuan, we have fought enough wars in this life. Don't let our younger generations go like this. You don't want them to die on such a battlefield one day in the future, right? The suffering we have suffered cannot be repeated!"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao who was trembling with a calm expression. After that, he raised his head and looked at the city wall. His voice suddenly shouted loudly: "...Where is my Bingzhou man?"
After tying the reins, the horse ran up under the city, and his majestic voice shouted again.
"Where is the Bingzhou man?"
"Where is the Bingzhou man?"
On the quiet city wall, a Bingzhou soldier looked at the running figure below. Cheng Lian punched the wall and responded loudly: "Cheng Lian is here!"
Immediately afterwards, Wei Yue also shouted loudly: "The last general Wei Yue is here!"
Around the surroundings, the captain heard the general's scream and put away the weapons originally aimed at the lower part of the weapon, and then raised them above his head. His eyes were changing with strong emotions. A huge voice turned into a roar, and at this moment it roared.
"The people of Bingzhou are here"
The sky was shaken.
Zhang Liao slowly raised his hand, and spoke in a gentle voice: "Zhang Liao, Bingzhou..." and then fell down firmly: "Here!"
...
Xu Du, a group of aristocratic families sent together to inquire about the situation, constantly choosing to take sides, wanting to make their own interests bigger, some people marry into a big force, some people choose imperial power to get rid of the remnants of the Cao family, and the storm surging for a moment.
In the Yang Mansion, the old man refused the officials and wealthy families who came to visit the door, and closed the door again, and even stopped Yang Xiu at home. The storms he experienced were very comparable to. Looking at the outline of the imperial city, he vaguely felt that in addition to changing the sky, there should be a conspiracy hidden under the light of the sunset...
In Cao's Mansion, among the small gardens full of flowers, a beautiful woman sat by the pool watching the cheerful fish in the water. Occasionally, she dragged down her lotus shoes to reveal her slender and white ankles. She gently tapped the water surface and rippled circles. Her beautiful eyes glanced at a certain direction from time to time, revealing her charming look.
The young man hiding behind the rockery was stunned at this moment, and returned to the study in a restless mood. When he recalled that scene, his whole body was hot. Soon after, he wrote an article... called "The Goddess of Luo River".
In the Golden Palace, the emperor sat majestic and upright to accept the worship of civil and military officials. For the absence of Cao Cao in the court, he finally felt like an emperor...
