Xia Houyuan looked at Taishi Ci who was blocking the road, frowning slightly, but quickly looked back at Cao Ang, with a worried look on his face. The Shu army had already entered the city, and it was already very difficult to break out of the city.
"Xia Houyuan, dismount immediately and surrender. I will spare your life."
In the blink of an eye, Taishi Citi came over with his spear. The big iron spear shook in the air, and the spear points swayed, like a cloud of pear blossoms suddenly scattering, or like a heavy rain falling, all densely packed with spear points.
"It's absolutely impossible for me to surrender."
Xia Houyuan sat firmly on the horse, without panicking, and tilted his body to the right, causing the tip of the spear to penetrate the air. Taishi Ci did not hit Xia Houyuan, but a smile appeared on his face.
Taishi Ci tightened his grip on the barrel of the gun and used all his strength to sweep it towards Xia Houyuan's body.
"call!"
The gun barrels swept across and whistled, the sound was terrifying.
Xia Houyuan's expression changed slightly, but he was indeed an experienced battlefield general. He leaned back quickly and lay flat on the horse with a snap, dodging Tai Shici's inevitable shot. Xia Houyuan however
He slapped the horse's belly again, and the horse under him ran forward a few steps to avoid Taishi Ci's pursuit.
At this time, Xia Houyuan remounted and sat firmly on the horse. Taishi Ci caught up with Xia Houyuan, pointed the iron gun in his hand at Xia Houyuan's back, and quickly stabbed it out.
"call out!!"
The iron gun shot out of the air, piercing the air and making a harsh sound.
Xia Houyuan held the gun with both hands and calmly swung it to block.
The two big guns collided together, making a loud clang sound. Taishi Ci did not withdraw the big gun immediately, but pressed the big iron gun firmly on Xia Houyuan's gun barrel, and slowly dragged it out. Xia Houyuan could not get rid of it.
, but was suppressed by Tai Shici, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably.
Taishi Ci gave a low shout and whipped out his big gun. The barrel of the gun spun in a circle in the air, swept out, and hit Xia Houyuan with a loud bang.
This blow was so powerful that it knocked Xia Houyuan off his horse.
"boom!"
Xia Houyuan's body fell to the ground, and his back hurt from the fall. But Xia Houyuan was indeed a veteran. The moment he landed, he immediately put his hands on the ground and prepared to jump up. But before he could get up, Tai Shi Ci's spear tip was already placed on his
In front of his throat. As long as there is a slight movement, the tip of the gun will penetrate his throat.
Taishi Ci said in a deep voice: "Xia Houyuan, you are no match for me."
After saying this, Taishi made a kind gesture, and soldiers immediately came to tie up Xia Houyuan.
On the other side, Gan Ning was fighting against Zang Ba. The two were completely head-to-head, and the fight was extremely fierce. Especially since Zang Ba had been injured in many places and was still fighting desperately.
Cao Ang faced Zhang Liao, and within ten rounds of the fight, he was captured alive by Zhang Liao.
Seeing this, Taishi Ci shouted: "Cao Ang has been captured, and the one who surrenders will not be killed!"
After a pause, Tai Shici shouted again: "Xia Houyuan has been captured, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
The two chief generals of the Wei army, one of whom was the prince of Wei and the other a general of Wei, were captured and no one could take charge of the overall situation. Zang Bazheng was fighting with Gan Ning and when he heard Taishi Ci's roar, his mind was distracted.
Gan Ning immediately seized the opportunity and chopped off his horse with the back of his sword. It was Gan Ning's mercy that prevented him from killing Zang Ba.
As a result, all three generals of the Wei army were captured. Seeing that Cao Ang and others were captured, the other soldiers who were still resisting surrendered one after another. Two hours later, the fighting stopped and the battlefield was cleared.
All the soldiers of the Wei army have been imprisoned, and Cao Ang, Xia Houyuan and Zang Ba have also been imprisoned separately.
Xu Shu led his army into the city and immediately ordered to control the families of Wei officials and all the Cao family members who stayed in Linzi. Next, Xu Shu appeased the wealthy gentry in the city and held a banquet in honor of these people. Battle of Linzi City
After that, Xu Shu, Li Ru and Pang Tong quickly settled the matter in Linzi and then sent their troops to leave.
Over the next two days, the battle continued.
Xu Shu, Gan Ning and others divided their forces to attack Beihai County, Donglai County, and Changyi County in Qingzhou, and captured the entire Qingzhou with lightning speed. Then the army met in Linzi and escorted Wei officials and Cao's family members.
Heading north to Yecheng. Although the army moved very slowly, no one complained.
Because the prisoners being escorted were a powerful weapon that could shake the hearts of the Wei army, they should not be treated lightly. As soon as the army left Qingzhou, Xu Shu had already spread the news to Wang Can who was far away in Yecheng.
…
The Shu army besieged Yecheng. Instead of attacking the city, they set out to deal with Cao Ren and Zhang Jia.
At the beginning, Wang Can sent troops to attack Cao Ren, hoping to capture Cao Ren directly and destroy the Wei army outside Ye City. Because Cao Cao and Zhang Jia supported him at the same time, the Shu army was unable to attack with all its strength. After discussing with his counselors, Wang Can stopped using troops.
, no longer attacking Zhang Jia and Cao Ren, but specifically attacking the food and grass for Cao Ren and Zhang Jia.
The food supplies of Cao Ren and Zhang Jia were cut off, and problems immediately arose for the Wei army stationed outside the city.
Even if Cao Jun sent troops to escort the grain, the Shu army was so outnumbered that it was very easy to destroy the grain transported. As a result, the Wei army stationed outside the city had a food crisis and had to withdraw to Yecheng.
Shu army camp, Chinese army tent.
Wang Can, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other counselors were sitting in the big tent, discussing strategies to deal with Ye City. Compared with the Wei army stationed outside the city, Ye City was a real behemoth and not easy to deal with. Such a fortified city
In the city, even if Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others have great strategies, it is difficult for them to come up with a solution.
Especially Cao Cao, who was in charge of Yecheng, was extremely shrewd and even more difficult to deal with.
At the end of the discussion, we still couldn't come up with a firm charter.
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, Ye City is strong, so let's wait for now. After the news comes from Qingzhou, we will be trapped in Ye City. By then, the people in Ye City will be panicked and the morale of the army will be unstable. Even if Cao Cao has the power to reach heaven,
It’s impossible to stabilize the situation.”
Wang Can sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Suddenly, the tent door curtain rolled up, and Shi A walked in with a happy face.
Wang Can asked: "Shi A, what's the news?"
Shi A replied: "Good news, good news, Your Majesty. After Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Xu Shu and others gathered together, they have captured Qingzhou, captured Cao Ang and Xia Houyuan, and also controlled Cao Cao's family members.
What’s more important is that all the family members of Wei’s ministers are in Qingzhou, and they can be captured in one fell swoop.”
Wang Can raised his eyebrows, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Fazheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Cao Cao is destined to die. Cao Cao's relatives and the family members of his ministers have been captured, which is enough to make Cao Cao lose the courage to resist."
Wang Can nodded and shouted loudly: "Come here, find Lu Meng!"
After a while, Lu Meng hurriedly came to the big tent, bowed respectfully to King Can, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you have come to see the general. Do you have anything important to do?"
Wang Can briefly told the story of the capture of Cao Ang and Xia Houyuan, and the story of the capture of Cao Cao's family and the family members of the ministers of Wei State. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "When we were at Hulao Pass, how many times did you tell Cao Cao
It's up to you to deliver the message this time. Wait until the news reaches Cao Cao's ears and see how he reacts."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Lu Meng laughed twice and left quickly.
When leaving the tent, Lu Meng was already thinking about what Cao Cao's expression would be when he got the news. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and in the end he was laughing while walking in the camp.
Within a quarter of an hour, Lu Meng gathered his soldiers, left the camp, and ran towards Yecheng.
