After an autumn rain, the weather became a little cooler, and the soldiers wore more clothes.
Inside Bao City, the county government hall.
Yan Yan was sitting in his study, handling things in the city in an orderly manner. From the time he killed Deng Fang to the present, Baocheng has been occupied for about ten days. Many things in the city need to be handled by Yan Yan personally to avoid entanglements and the outbreak of civil strife.
This caused flaws in Baocheng's defense. Therefore, Yan Yan has always done it himself, checking everything personally and not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In every city, there are wealthy businessmen and gentry, and there are people who regard wealth as their lives.
In the city, there are also wealthy gentry who are as timid as mice.
Some of these people were people who helped Yan Yan defend the city, and some were people who opened the city gates to fight off the thieves. Yan Yan had to win over the wealthy gentry and handle their affairs well in order to avoid worries.
At the same time, Yan Yan also needs to stabilize the people in Bao City to prevent the people from rioting, making Bao City, which is surrounded by enemies and full of dangers, even more dangerous. It can be said that Yan Yan is walking on thin ice and cautious every step he takes now.
Because Wang Can and his army were stationed five miles away, watching eagerly. The two sides were facing each other. As long as something happened in the city and caused friction, Wang Can might take advantage of it and benefit from it.
"Boom! Boom!..."
The sound of war drums came from outside the city into the city, extremely powerful, and kept echoing in the city.
"woo woo woo woo!……"
The sound of the horn sounded from far to near, high and sharp, reaching straight into the sky.
The sound of war drums and horns mixed together and resounded throughout Baobao City. After hearing this, the soldiers responsible for the defense on the city tower immediately became alert.
In the study room, Yan Yan heard the sound of horns and war drums coming into the city. He suddenly stood up from his seat, put down the book in his hand, quickly picked up the large ring knife placed on the desk, and walked out of the hall.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Yan Zhi hurriedly approaching: "General, drums and trumpets are being blown outside the city. It seems that Wang Can cannot stand still and is going to lead his troops to attack Baocheng."
Yan Yan looked solemn and shouted: "Let's go to the tower to check the situation."
The servants of the county government brought two war horses. They got on their horses and hurried towards the tower of Baocheng.
Outside Bao City, Wang Can stood on horseback in front of the army formation. He was wearing a golden chain mail, a golden helmet on his head, a Han sword hanging on his waist, and a black horse on his crotch. He was carrying a majestic and imposing figure.
Pei Yuanshao is holding a mace and riding a black horse, standing on the right side of Wang Can; Zhou Cang is holding a Han sword in his right hand and riding a brown horse, standing on the right side of Wang Can. The two have been fighting for many years, and they have
They all have beards, their beards stand out like steel needles under their chins, and their dark complexions make them look like two door gods standing on the left and right sides of Wang Can, which further highlights Wang Can's extraordinary appearance.
Wang Can's eyes fell on the tower, waiting for Yan Yan to appear.
"stop!"
Not long after, he saw Yan Yan's figure appearing on the tower. With a wave of his hand, he stopped the soldiers who were beating drums and trumpets. In an instant, the high-pitched and vigorous sounds suddenly stopped, and the world suddenly became quiet and quiet.
Silently. Wang Can was riding on the Wuzui horse with a faint smile on his face. He was not busy shouting, nor did he let the soldiers arrayed behind him rush to attack the city.
This scene fell in Yan Yan's eyes, and her brows suddenly furrowed, her face full of confusion.
Siege?
Or do you have other plans??
Yan Yan shouted: "Wang Can, you led the troops and stationed them outside the city. You didn't give orders to attack the city, and you didn't say anything. What's the point? Could it be that you stayed in the camp all day, got too busy, and deliberately ran outside the city?
Die?"
"Ha ha……"
Behind Yan Yan, the soldiers laughed after hearing this.
Wang Can saw the soldiers on the tower laughing so hard with a joking smile on their faces. He secretly said in his heart: Laugh, just laugh. When I speak, you won't be able to laugh even if you want to.
Wang Can's expression remained calm and unaffected by Yan Yan's words.
Yan Yan was both a man of letters and martial arts. Not only was he proficient in swordsmanship, he was also very good in archery. He also had good eyesight. When he saw Wang Can's calm expression and his faint smile, his heart skipped a beat. Suddenly he saw Wang Can escape from the hands of a soldier.
I picked up something that looked like a funnel. It had a big front end and a small back end. It looked like a funnel.
Yan Yan was puzzled, felt baffled, and filled with doubts.
In fact, what Wang Can took was just a simple trumpet he made temporarily.
The function is not very good, it can only slightly amplify the spoken words.
Wang Can's every move was watched by Yan and the other city guards on the tower. Seeing Wang Can pick up the trumpet and put it in front of his mouth, everyone looked puzzled. Wang Can was heard shouting:
"People on the towers, listen, you are trapped in Baocheng, isolated and helpless. Today Baocheng is an isolated city, surrounded on all sides. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, I will spare your lives. If you continue to resist,
All that awaits you is destruction."
Wang Can's voice was loud and long, clearly reaching the ears of the soldiers on the tower.
After Yan Yan heard this, he was even more angry. Well, you can't break the city, but you even thought of inciting the soldiers to rebel.
However, Yan Yan has confidence in the soldiers under his command. They have been trained by him and are absolutely loyal.
Wang Can's words are destined to be in vain.
However, Wang Can did not give up and continued to yell: "You join the army not only to make achievements, but also to live a good life for your wife, children and children at home. However, your lives are about to be lost, how can your wife, children and children live a good life?"
"
"Wives, children, and children are the ones you care about, and there are also people who care about you. Are you willing to die in Baocheng, leaving your wives and children at home widowed, and leaving your parents and parents alone and helpless? Soldiers, surrender, as long as you surrender
, I will arrange everything for you. If you are willing to return to Yizhou, I will provide you with the money; if you are willing to stay and join the army, I will let you join the army."
Wang Can chattered and said a lot of words.
On the tower of Baocheng, Yan Yan had a livid face.
Wang Can's words touched the hearts of the Yizhou soldiers. There were wives, children, and children at home, who would want to be buried here. For a moment, the soldiers were swayed by Wang Can's words, and their expressions were moved.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Yan shouted: "Wang Can, don't use your evil words to confuse the public."
"My Yizhou soldiers have their roots in Yizhou, and their parents, wives, and children are in Yizhou. How can they surrender to you? You, Wang Can, are just the governor of Hanzhong, and the Yizhou Shepherd Liu is commanding Yizhou. The Yizhou soldiers are all Liu Yizhou
Your people, their parents, wives and children are also living under Liu Yizhou's command. If they surrender to you, wouldn't they be put in danger? Wang Can, my son, has ulterior motives and evil thoughts. Could it be that he wants me, the son of Yizhou, to die quickly?
"
After hearing Yan Yan's words, the Yizhou soldiers immediately became active again.
They were moved by Wang Can because after his death, his parents, wife and children were left alone.
What Yan Yan said was that once they surrender, their parents, wives, and children will immediately be implicated. Comparing the two, the soldiers are certainly willing to resist to the death, so that they can still survive and ensure the safety of their wives, children, and children. Once they surrender,
If the whole family is implicated, wouldn't it mean that they are disloyal to Liu Yan, unfilial to their parents, and become unfaithful and unfilial people?
The ancients said: Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
With the word of filial piety at the forefront, the soldiers gave up the idea of surrender.
Yan Yan stood on the tower and saw Wang Can picking up the funnel-shaped object again and preparing to shout. He snorted coldly in his heart. Wang Can wanted to sway the soldiers to surrender, but there was no way. He shouted: "Take it."
The bow and arrow are coming, and Wang Can is going to have a hard time talking. Humph, he speaks so viciously and has bad intentions, he deserves to be killed, he deserves to be killed!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately went to get their bows and arrows.
After a while, they brought a big bow and a pot of bows and arrows.
Wang Can opened his mouth and pointed at the trumpet, and while he was talking, he saw Yan Yan sneer, pick up a bow and arrow, and want to shoot him. Wang Can sneered, and immediately handed the trumpet to Zhou Cang, comparing bows and arrows, who is afraid of who?
Immediately, he also picked up the Lingbao bow hanging on the right side of the Wuzui horse's belly, took out the bow and arrow, and placed it on the bowstring.
"Wang Can suffers death!"
Yan Yan shouted loudly, took out the bow and arrow in his hand, and shot towards Wang Can.
Wang Can took a deep breath, stared at the incoming bow and arrow, and shouted: "Broken!"
Immediately, he released his right hand, and the bow and arrow on the bow string came out, shooting towards the bow and arrow coming from Yan. The bow and arrow shot through the air, fast and fast, and in the blink of an eye, there was a whistling sound from the two bows and arrows.
They collided together. The arrow tips collided, sparks flew out, and then both bows and arrows fell to the ground.
"good!"
When Pei Yuanshao saw this, he roared and cheered for Wang Can.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers behind Pei Yuanshao also cheered at the top of their lungs.
On the city tower, Yan Yan's face was ashen. He didn't expect that Wang Can's archery skills were so powerful, and he actually fought with bows and arrows. He handed the bow and arrow in his hand to the soldier, and then stared at Wang Can down the city tower, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
For such a long time, Wang Can stood outside the city tower without sending troops to attack the city. Why?
Yan Yan had doubts in her heart, but she could only continue to think.
Wang Can laughed twice, picked up the trumpet again, and shouted: "Yan Yan, I tell you the truth, Yizhou General Pang Xi has been killed, and the pioneer generals Gao Pei and Yang Huai have also been killed, and Liu
Yan sent a large army to land from Brazil, and his intention to approach Hanzhong has been defeated. Today Baocheng is already an isolated city. Surrender. As long as you surrender, I will guarantee that your official position will not be reduced but will be promoted. I will also reward you with thousands of gold and hundreds of acres of fertile land.
, what do you think about giving me another mansion?"
After Yan Yan heard this, his body trembled and his eyes showed panic.
Pang Xi actually died?
Yang Huai and Gao Pei are also dead?
At this moment, Yan Yan's heart was filled with huge waves.
Immediately, Yan Yan quickly recovered and shouted: "Wang Can, don't use your evil words to deceive the people. You led the troops to station outside Bao City and were unable to break Bao City, but you came up with such an unscrupulous strategy to shake down the city."
With the military morale of the soldiers under my command, do you think you can succeed? Don’t even think about it!"
In fact, Yan Yan still feels that Wang Can's words are 70% credible.
It's just that the current situation has deviated from the track. The situation is at stake, and Yan Yan must stabilize the morale of the army.
Wang Can chuckled and continued to yell: "Yan Yan, facts speak louder than words. No matter what you say, Pang Xi has been killed, Gao Pei and Yang Huai have also been killed, and the city you stubbornly resisted is now an isolated city.
, no one came to support you. I will give you four days to think about it, and then you can give me an answer."
After finishing speaking, Wang Can shouted: "Retreat!"
After giving the order, the army immediately retreated.
Yan Yan stood on the tower and shouted: "Wang Can, I will tell you that I will never surrender until I die." However, when Yan Yan spoke, Wang Can had already led his army away.
