Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth hit the nemesis
Liu Xiu said everything that needed to be said, and persuaded everything that needed to be persuaded. He believed that he had done everything he could to be benevolent and righteous. If Deng Feng still persisted in his stubbornness and still wanted to resist him to the end, then there was nothing he could do.
After Liu Xiu retreated to his own formation, he said to the generals who came up to him: "Rest and rest today. Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will attack the city!"
All the generals were refreshed, and they all raised their hands and responded: "I obey your orders!"
Returning to the sleeping tent in the camp, Yin Lihua came forward and asked with concern: "Did your Majesty see Yuan Zhi just now?"
Liu Xiu nodded. Yin Lihua asked: "Yuan Zhihe... he still refuses to surrender?"
"He made two conditions. One is that he wants me to kill Ziyan, and the other is that he wants to be the king of the Han Dynasty with a different surname."
When Yin Lihua heard this, her heart trembled. These two conditions were impossible to accept. She frowned and murmured: "Come to think of it, the resentment in Yuan Zhi's heart is still not gone. After all, Miss Yuan died in
Newfield……"
Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Yuan Feier's death was an accident, but Deng Feng rebelled against me!"
Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu and whispered: "This is the fault of the great Sima..."
Liu Xiu said displeasedly: "Does Lihua also blame me for protecting Ziyan?"
Yin Lihua lowered her head and said: "Concubine..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Xiu said seriously: "Ziyan ordered the massacre of the city at that time, which was purely a helpless act. At that time, the counties in Nanyang were in charge of their own affairs, and everyone wanted to be the king and hegemon. If they all fought to the death to resist our Han army,
, how long will this battle last, and how many soldiers will we lose? Ziyan's massacre of the city is an act of killing chickens to scare monkeys, knocking mountains to shock tigers, how do you want me to punish Ziyan?"
Yin Lihua's eyes turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word. Since he and Liu Xiu got married, they rarely quarreled, but this was their second quarrel because of Deng Feng.
Seeing her with her head lowered, Liu Xiu sighed helplessly. He put his arm around Yin Lihua's shoulders and said, "The people in Xinye who died in vain are not Zi Yan's fault alone, but this damn troubled world."
, because of the selfish desires of those who want to occupy the land and become kings!"
Yin Lihua choked with sobs and whispered: "I only hope that Your Majesty will take note of Yuan Zhi's past achievements and spare his life."
Liu Xiu smiled and said softly: "I never thought of killing him."
Even now, Deng Feng had just proposed two excessive conditions to Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu was angry, he did not have murderous intentions towards Deng Feng.
First, Deng Feng did have merit, and he was kind to Liu Xiu in protecting Yin Lihua. Second, he did not care about the face of others, but he also had to value the face of his own brother-in-law Deng Chen.
After hearing Liu Xiu's words, Yin Lihua felt much relieved. She burst into tears and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I, my concubine!"
Liu Xiu raised her hand, gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said, "If Lihua pleads for Deng Feng again, I can't help but take his head!"
Yin Lihua was stunned for a moment, then, with a blushing face, she pinched Liu Xiu's arm in dissatisfaction and gave him a roll of her eyes.
Liu Xiu laughed, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.
The next day, the Han army began a large-scale attack on the city.
The Great Sima Wu Han was responsible for attacking the North City of Yuyang, the South General Cen Peng was responsible for attacking the South City of Yuyang, the Right General Deng Yu was responsible for attacking the West City of Yuyang, and the West General Feng Yi was responsible for attacking the West City of Yuyang. As for the East City of Yuyang,
Next to the Feishui River, the Han army had no ships and could not attack the city.
More than 200,000 Han troops attacked the city from three sides, really like a stormy sea crashing on the shore.
More than 20,000 defenders led by Deng Feng fought desperately at the head of Yuyang City. The defenders and soldiers tried their best, but the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and it was no longer possible to rely on people's tenacious willpower.
Made up for it.
The one who attacked most fiercely was Wu Han, who mainly attacked Beicheng.
Wu Han issued a death order, and all the soldiers in the army were only allowed to move forward and not to retreat. If anyone escaped from the battle, the soldiers behind him could kill him directly. If he cowered and refused to go forward, the soldiers behind him could kill him directly.
Even if there are piles of corpses like a mountain, you have to climb to the top of the city for me while stepping on the pile of corpses of your comrades.
Wu Han didn't just ask his subordinates to work hard. He also worked hard himself and went into battle himself. The generals had the heart to die, and the soldiers had no desire to survive. The great Sima was taking the lead and risking his life against the enemy. How could he still be embarrassed?
Under the mobilization of Wu Han, the Han army attacking Beicheng went crazy, exerting all its strength, and frantically launched round after round of offensives towards the city head.
At first, Deng Fengjun was still able to resist tenaciously, but as the Han army's offensive became more and more fierce, Deng Fengjun began to be unable to hold on.
Wu Han, the great Sima, personally pushed himself to the ground of the city wall. Seeing that the soldiers climbing the ladder were either shot down by the enemy's arrows or smashed down by the enemy's rolling logs and stones, he gritted his teeth and
He handed the silver halberd in his hand to the guard beside him, took out the sword from his side, picked it up with his mouth, and then used his hands and feet to climb up the ladder.
Seeing Da Sima climbing up the ladder in response to the enemy's arrows, rolling logs, and rocks, the surrounding Han troops seemed to have been beaten to death, shouting and screaming as they climbed up the ladder.
This sudden onslaught made the defenders unable to hold on any longer.
Wu Han was not the first to jump up the ladder to the top of the city, but he was definitely one of the first to attack the top of the city. When he got to the top of the city, he took off the sword in his mouth and roared into the defense.
He thrust his sword into the crowd of soldiers, stabbing a defender in front of him to the point of death. He did not draw his sword at all, but continued to charge forward against the defender until the sword tip stabbed the second defender.
After skewering the two defenders with candied haws on his body, he pulled out his sword and slashed to the left and right.
Two more defenders were struck by swords and fell to the ground.
The guard man on the side was holding a spear and roaring towards Wu Han. Wu Han turned sideways to avoid the sharp edge of the spear, raised his hand, grabbed the defender's neck, raised his arm upwards, and the defender's feet lifted off the ground.
, a body weighing more than 100 kilograms, was lifted into the air by Wu Han with one hand.
He aimed at the dense crowd on the opposite side, shouted loudly, and threw the big guard man over hard. He heard a crash, and the big guard man hit the crowd, smashing it into pieces, and howling sounds could be heard everywhere.
Without waiting for people to get up, Wu Han stepped forward, swung his sword repeatedly, and blood arrows sprayed out among the crowd.
As the defenders' second round of spear thrusts came, Wu Han pulled back and swung his sword forward. Hearing a series of snapping sounds, the spears he thrust broke one after another.
He raised his sword and rushed forward again, and around him, another bloody storm broke out.
Wu Han's sword was also a sword that had been tempered many times, but on such a fierce battlefield, the sword curled up in just a moment.
Feeling that it was getting more and more difficult to kill the enemy, Wu Han shouted: "Where is my halberd?"
"Come...come..." The two guards went up and down, working together to lift Wu Han's halberd up the ladder.
Seeing his mighty silver halberd being carried up by his brothers, Wu Han was overjoyed and his eyes shone brighter. He took three steps in two steps and came to the two guards and grabbed his halberd.
With the halberd in hand, it is like being possessed by a god, and whatever the halberd points at, he is invincible. This is Wu Ziyan of Wu Han on the battlefield.
Wu Han held a halberd in one hand, rounded it, and aimed it at a defender who was running towards him. The defender instinctively raised his spear to block it.
The mantis' arm is like a chariot! How can the wooden shaft of the spear withstand the heavy blow of the tiger's mighty silver halberd?
Click! The spear was cut off, and the soldier under the spear was split from the center, and his body was broken into two pieces. Wu Han stepped over the corpse, picked up the tiger's mighty silver halberd, and charged into the crowd.
What is meant by a tiger among a flock of sheep? Now Wu Han expresses this idiom vividly.
Wu Han rushed into the crowd. All around him, his limbs were broken, or his blood flowed into rivers. There were countless defenders who died under his halberd.
The first batch of Han troops led by Wu Han to attack the city threw the defenders' defense into chaos. The Han troops outside the city also stepped up their offensive. The second batch, the third batch... the Han troops continued to pour in.
At the top of the city, join the battle and engage in face-to-face close combat with the defenders.
If the Han army was outside the city, the defenders could still resist tenaciously for a while, but now that the Han army has attacked the city, the defenders could no longer hold on and were killed in groups and fell to the ground.
The backward rout.
The Han army that stormed the top of the city pursued and killed the defeated defenders from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. The Han army that attacked the north city officially tore apart the defenders' city defense and invaded the city.
The North City was broken, and the news soon spread to the West City and South City where fierce fighting was going on. When the defenders heard the news, their morale plummeted, while the Han army's morale surged even higher after hearing the news, and their offensive became more fierce.
One after another, the Yuyang defense line was in a state of emergency. Listening to the continuous emergency battle reports, Deng Feng lamented in his heart and felt sad. After all, he was still no match for Liu Xiu!
Suddenly, Deng Feng felt that Liu Xiu was the nemesis in his life.
He and Liu Xiu both liked Yin Lihua, but Yin Lihua gave up on him as her childhood sweetheart and chose the latter instead.
He and Liu Xiu followed Liu Yan in the rebellion and took up the banner of the Zhutian Capital Division. However, because he was Liu Yan's younger brother, the latter's glory in the Zhutian Capital Division completely overshadowed that of Deng Feng.
In Nanyang, he defeated Wu Han and Cen Peng successively. However, as soon as Liu Xiu came, his previous series of victories came to naught, and defeats followed one after another.
Deng Feng couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. After all, he still couldn't pass Liu Xiu's test. From the past to now, he had been defeated by Liu Xiu many times. This seemed like the fate of the two of them.
At this time, Deng Feng was already disheartened. The surrounding generals looked at each other, and one of them walked up to Deng Feng and whispered: "General, Yuyang can no longer be defended. We...we should withdraw!"
"
Before Deng Feng could say anything, another general came over and said, "General, if we keep the green hills here, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood. We can still regroup and fight Liu Xiu again!"
"Yes, General, the conscription troops from various counties have not yet arrived in Yuyang. As long as we escape Yuyang first, we will surely be able to regroup and make a comeback!"
Deng Feng slowly looked at the generals around him, looking at the faces full of expectations for him. Deng Feng took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "Pass my general order, all the soldiers in the army, retreat to the east city and follow me to evacuate."
Yu Yang!”
Even though Yuyang was besieged on three sides by the Han army, Deng Fengjun still had a way out in advance, which was to take the waterway.
Just outside the east city of Yuyang is the Feishui River. The ships around Yuyang have already been confiscated by Deng Feng into Yuyang City. The defenders in the city can take the ships to leave Yuyang and get rid of the siege of the Han army.
