Chapter 1014 The Scream of Decay

Seeing that there was only a thin layer of clouds left at the top of the city, Wei Yan felt that the heat was almost there, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Let the prisoners shout to me as planned!"

As soon as the order was given, the prisoners began to cry, "Brothers, surrender, don't fight this war anymore, what's the point of fighting life and death? The common people on the King of Han's side have fields, and there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

With only a basic agricultural tax of 11%, I can return to the fields, have children, and no longer suffer from hunger."

"Brothers, with the King of Han, everyone can study. The government has set up schools, and children study for free for three years. Our descendants can also advance to the next level."

"Brothers, let's not fight anymore. We will fight back and forth. If we die, we won't even receive a pension. How can the orphans and old mothers at home survive?"

These were all taught along the way. When they were shouted at first, they were all chaotic and hard to hear. Chen Deng and others on the top of the city didn't know what they were shouting. But gradually, the sounds began to become unified. After a while,

When Chen Deng heard clearly, his face suddenly turned pale, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out without holding back.

"Mr. Chen Fu, what's wrong with you!" A group of people scrambled to support the shaky Chen Deng.

Chen Deng smiled miserably and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth casually, "Xiapi, it's over!"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Let the prisoners transport the siege equipment!" The last trace of cloud at the top of the city has dispersed. It can be seen that morale has dropped completely. The reason why no one has put down their weapons and surrendered or escaped is because they lack a leader or a signal.

That’s all.

Seeing this, Wei Yan no longer hesitated, "Attack the city!"

After giving the order, the 10,000-strong army that had been prepared in advance began to rush toward Xiapi City with neat steps. The first ones were all heavy shield soldiers holding heavy shields.

These heavy shield soldiers protected the engineers who were responsible for erecting the pontoon bridge and pushed the huge iron cart. On top of the iron cart, there was a long iron ladder extending about twenty meters in front, which was kept balanced by the counterweight behind it.

On top of the city, there were constant shouts and shouts of arrows being fired, but the rain of arrows shot down was dripping, as if there was a blockage in the urinary tract, and had no lethality at all.

And twenty huge river-crossing ladders were pushed into the moat, causing huge splashes of water. The troops carrying the siege ladders rushed up shouting slogans.

Seeing that the moat did not play any role and the siege ladder was put up on the city wall without any hindrance, Chen Deng waved his hand and shook off the crowd. With a look of determination, he pulled out the sword he carried with him from his waist and placed it across his neck, hissing.

Feidi roared: "I, the Chen family, are the descendants of Liu Xu, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. We have inherited the glory of our ancestors and have been the commander-in-chief for generations. We were born noble and educated all the people. We have made great contributions to the world. Now, in vain, do you think of our achievements and want to harm us?"

The same goes for those who are humble. This is a humiliation to us nobles and a humiliation to our ancestors. We nobles will never share the same world with the common people."

After saying that, Chen Deng pulled the sword in his hand fiercely. The sword broke through the thin layer of skin on his neck and cut open the arteries in his throat. Blood spurted out as if he wanted no money. Chen Deng's eyes widened and he refused to do so until he died.

Give up your status as a nobleman and never let yourself die at the hands of those with low status!

For a moment, the city was silent. The people around Chen Deng looked at Chen Deng's body, and the arrogance cultivated by the nobles in their hearts was completely aroused.

If there is a chance of survival, for the sake of family inheritance, they can sacrifice their reputation and endure hardships, hoping for a comeback. But now, looking at the unstoppable situation of the Han army at the head of the city, the fall of Pi is a foregone conclusion.

With Wang Xuan's current methods of doing things, if those small aristocratic families and local wealthy families still have a chance to survive, there is absolutely no reason why they, the truly noble families with a history of more than a hundred years, will be spared.

This is a collision between the old and new systems. There is no room for maneuver at all. In order to implement the New Deal, Wang Xuan must completely destroy big families like them, and big families like them are absolutely unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. In this way, only

It can end with the total destruction of one party.

However, now it seems that it is their side that has failed.

Since death is certain, how could he die so cowardly?

The nobles are the nobles, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Even if they die, they must die heroically and be buried with enough people. Otherwise, it is not enough to show the glory of their family and their uniqueness.

With such a status and status, no matter ancient or modern, how could one die so aggrievedly and humbly?

Everyone returned home. Soon, when the gates of Xiapi City were wide open and Wei Yan led his people into Xiapi City, more than a dozen fires suddenly broke out in the city. The fires were blazing together. It was obvious that they were set deliberately.

Wei Yan's expression changed, he pointed at the fire and asked someone beside him: "Where are those places?"

The man next to him is chubby, wearing a light blue shirt, and has a smile on his face at all times, making it hard for people to feel bad at first sight. This man is the person in charge of the intelligence department who has been ambushing Xiapi for a long time.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Huotou, frowning slightly, "It seems to be the Xu family's mansion in Xiapi."

"Eh!" This man looked at several fires, and his expression became weirder the more he looked at them. Finally, he sighed and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "These places should be the residences of the rich families in Xuzhou. If they are the official residences,

The information is correct, they must have set themselves on fire."

Wei Yan raised his brows and twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't know why but he felt a sick feeling in his heart. It was like the butcher knife he raised. He was about to kill his enemy, but found that his enemy had died of old age...

This is so damn uncomfortable.

At this moment, someone came to the fat and wealthy middle-aged man and reported something. The middle-aged man's face suddenly sank, and he let out a cold snort from his nose. As the chief intelligence officer of a state, this pair was always happy and angry.

It's really rare for him to be invisible.

Wei Yan also noticed the problem and couldn't help but think to him that this man didn't hide anything, so he directly repeated what Chen Deng had just shouted from the top of the city.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's too much!" Wei Yan was furious when he heard this, which reminded him of his experiences before he took refuge with Liu Bei.

He was born into one of those humble people described by Chen Deng. If he hadn't been gifted, and finally joined the army, and achieved some meritorious deeds with his swords and guns, he wouldn't even have had the chance to learn how to read. But even so, his merits would be great.

Part of it was taken away by those who came from aristocratic families.

Otherwise, why he was poached by Wang Xuan with just a letter was not because he could only be a mere team leader. Even though he was already the first soldier in martial arts at that time, he could fight in any battle.

He was the one who was on the front line and commanded the soldiers to fight, and then when he was rewarded for his merits, he could only share the meager amount of credit, or maybe he was only rewarded with some money.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of origin, because he comes from a humble background. No matter how many meritorious services he has made, he will never have a chance to get ahead, especially in a place like Jingzhou where there are many aristocratic families and are deeply rooted.

Really, the more I think about it, the angrier I get, the angrier I get, the angrier I get, the more I think about it, the angrier I get...

"Ah!!!!" Wei Yan looked up to the sky and roared, a sound of Gangqi suddenly rose from his body, and the rage in his chest didn't know who to vent to. Those really big families have all burned themselves to death now, okay?

Well, even the remaining ones are not something that Wei Yan can punish. After all, he is a member of the military and has no qualifications to interfere in such political matters.

The separation of military and political affairs was a national policy set by Wang Xuan. No matter how arrogant Wei Yan was, he would not dare to disobey it at all.

What a bummer!

Wei Yan grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Sword on the victory hook and leapt up from his horse. He slashed the sky with the sword several times. Following Wei Yan's roar, a huge sword dozens of meters long was struck in Xia Pi.

Shooting back and forth over the city, bringing up the roaring wind, Wei Yan, who was going crazy, was like a god descending to earth in the eyes of ordinary people. His majestic power was simply not something that ordinary people could match.

After venting his anger, Wei Yan let out a heavy breath, and with a dark face, he came down from the air and landed on the horse's back. At this moment, the rich middle-aged man's expression also returned to his usual smiling face. After all, those who said this are dead.

, he can't argue with dead people, wouldn't that just give those superior guys more excuses?

The army began to enter the city. Although Xiapi was captured, it rarely caused any chaos. Even the rioters and those who took the opportunity to cause trouble did not appear.

Speaking of which, this credit should also be credited to Wei Yan. This guy just flew into the sky to vent his anger. He was indeed so powerful that he frightened all those who would have taken advantage of the situation. For ordinary people, this is as powerful as gods and demons.

There is no difference. Who knows whether you can pinch or calculate? Anyway, isn't that what legends say? If someone is pinched and figured out, wouldn't it be like lighting a lantern in a manhole - looking for shit?

Therefore, it was rare that Picheng was not chaotic at all, and Wei Yan took over it so easily.

After occupying Xiapi, Wei Yan fell silent. He did not arrogantly start attacking nearby cities and territories, because he knew that once Cao Cao got the news that Xiapi was missing, he would not give up.

Therefore, the top priority is to strengthen the city defense and guard against Boss Cao.
