Suddenly, torches were lit outside the city, and bursts of shouts of killing came towards Yecheng. Before the Wei army could recover, they were all awakened by the noise, and lay on the top of the city in bewilderment, looking down. Xiahou Ba beat him
After a cold war, I knew something was wrong. Someone must have opened the city gate and the Dragon Army was about to enter the city. "What are you doing standing still? Pick up your weapons and meet the enemy!" Xiahou Ba took the lead and ran towards the city.
The sound of gongs rang, and the silent night of Shujian became very lively. Huang Xu held a big sword in his hand and stood guard at the door. No matter how many Wei troops there were, they could not get past him. A dozen soldiers behind Huang Xu were struggling to move Hou Hou.
The city gate opened. At the same time, someone stabbed the rope pulling up the suspension bridge, and sparks flew. It turned out that the suspension bridge in Yecheng was quite heavy, and it was made of iron chains. Someone discovered the mechanism and kicked it.
As soon as I stepped on it, I heard a sudden "crash" and then the sound of the suspension bridge falling heavily to the ground.
"Fire arrows! Fire arrows! We must not let them open the city gate!" Xiahou Ba shouted loudly. But where are the archers? The archers are still on the city, constantly firing arrows outside the city, trying to use their weak strength to stop them
The dragon army continued to advance deeper. Seven or eight archers followed Xiahou Ba down. This was the moment for them to show off their power.
Huang Xu saw the guys in the hands of the archers and smiled. He raised the sword with one hand and thrust it heavily into the ground. He put his hands on his hips and smiled. This move was completely beyond Wei Jun's expectations. Could it be that this man was invulnerable to bows and arrows?
Not afraid. Just when everyone was in a daze, Huang Xu turned around and found a bow in his hand. The bow string was fully drawn, and the five arrows on it glowed coldly.
Huang Xu struck first and didn't give the Wei army any chance. As soon as he loosened his fingers, the bow made a bang sound, and five arrows flew out. The distance between the two sides was too close, and the bows and arrows fired twice. A few people standing in the front row were still preparing.
The archers fell on their backs. The huge force caused the arrows to penetrate their bodies and continue to fly backwards. Huang Xu succeeded in one move and shot more than a dozen arrows in one breath. More than a dozen archers lay quietly.
On the ground, even Xiahou Ba's arm was hit by an arrow.
The Wei army scattered like birds and beasts. They were all composed of dandy boys and civilian men who had just been recruited. They had been on the battlefield and experienced life and death. Seeing that things were not going well, they all ran very fast. Xiahouba still had some skills, so he drew his sword.
After cutting down several of them in succession, the rout of the soldiers was stopped.
"You are all the elites of the Wei Kingdom. If you don't die for the country now, how long will you wait? Give it to me!" Xiahou Ba was furious, and the sword in his hand whirred. The soldiers did not have his determination, although
They couldn't leave, but they didn't charge either. Several hundred Wei troops actually started a confrontation with a dozen Dragon troops at the gate of the city.
"Bang bang! Ka squeak..." As the city gate was opened, the soldiers outside the city were about to come in. The Wei army completely lost their fighting spirit. Some people quietly got into the alley next to Xiahouba and disappeared while Xiahou Ba was not paying attention.
In the dark night.
Cao Pi had just fallen asleep. How could he fall asleep when there was an army of ten thousand dragons outside the city? Tomorrow was the deadline. He had sent someone to inform Sima Yi that maybe Sima Yi could come back tonight. As soon as Sima Yi arrived, the army of ten thousand dragons could not be accomplished.
The climate. However, he was still worried, worried that Long Jun was cheating. Long Fei was known for his cunning, and all his men were insidious.
Cao Pi couldn't sleep tossing and turning, and he didn't know if Cao Chun and others could stop the Dragon Army's attack. He knew that the soldiers in Yecheng were basically the same young masters who were as good as ten in making trouble, and might not be as good as one in ten fighting. If Lu Xun tonight
As for attacking the city, how should he deal with it? But the words are nonsense, maybe this Lu Xun is a man of his word.
"Prince!" The light outside the door flickered, and a waiter knocked on the door gently.
Cao Pi immediately started to do it, and walked towards the door without even putting on his clothes. As he walked, he asked: "What's going on? Is the Dragon Army attacking?" The door opened, the chamberlain stood beside the door, and Liu Ye led the leader at the bottom of the steps.
A dozen ministers looked at Cao Pi with smiles on their faces. Cao Pi frowned: "It's you! What are you doing so late at night?"
Liu Ye did not answer Cao Pi's words. He lifted up his robe and respectfully bowed to Cao Pi three times and kowtowed nine times. He knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Your Highness, we are waiting for everyone to discuss this. Wei Guo cannot live without peace for a day."
Lord, the late emperor has just passed away and has encountered another difficult situation. The country cannot be destabilized. Several ministers have discussed with the Ministry of Rites to hold a coronation ceremony for the crown prince early tomorrow morning in order to comply with the civil and military aspirations of the people!"
At this time, Cao Pi had no idea at all. Tomorrow morning, he still didn’t know if he could stay in Yecheng, but these people were going to hold a coronation ceremony for him. Cao Pi looked at the group of people, especially Liu Ye, who was also the former emperor.
Old minister, loyal. This Liu Ye was originally from the royal family, but after two hundred years, he has become a side branch. In the past, when the Han Dynasty was around, Liu Ye followed Cao Cao, but now that the Han Dynasty is gone, Liu Ye can only follow Cao Cao.
Cao Pi thought for a moment, but he couldn't let go of everyone's good intentions, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Liu! I'm a little tired and want to rest!"
Liu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly agreed: "No!"
Just as Cao Pi was about to turn around, another person rushed in from the door. At the door of the courtyard, he accidentally tripped over the threshold and crawled to Cao Pi's side. When the man knelt down and raised his head, Cao Pi's eyebrows were raised.
Department. This guy is responsible for the little yellow gate at the entrance of the palace yesterday. It was he who brought the bad news one after another, which led to Cao Cao's death. Why is he here again today? Cao Pi felt like it when he saw him
uncomfortable.
Without waiting for Cao Pi to speak, Xiao Huangmen said: "Your Highness, General Cao Chun is outside asking for an audience!"
Cao Pi let out a long breath. At least this time it wasn't bad news: "Please!"
Xiaohuangmen knelt and did not move: "General Cao can't come in. He is seriously injured and dying. Please move outside the door!"
When he heard this, Cao Pi almost sat down on the ground, it was still bad news. No longer caring about the small yellow door, Cao Pi separated from everyone and hurried out of the door. Cao Pi's Prince's Mansion is located on the east side of the palace.
, Lu Xun and others' attack direction was on the west side, separated by a huge palace and a deep courtyard. Lu Xun had no siege equipment, so there was much less movement in Yecheng. Cao Pi didn't hear it at all.
Cao Chun was covered in blood, and his chest was like a hedgehog's back, densely packed with iron needles as thick as a little finger. This was exactly the damage caused by the standard repeating crossbow of the Dragon Army Guards. Two soldiers squatted on Cao Chun's left and right.
, Cao Chun's face turned pale, and he seemed to have no strength to speak. Cao Pi quickly picked him up and shouted loudly: "Quick, send the imperial doctor, quick!" Cao Chun tightly grabbed Cao Pi's arm and opened his mouth wide. Cao Pi understood Cao Chun.
Wanting to speak, he quickly put his ear to Cao Chun's mouth.
By the time the imperial doctor came to Cao Chun with a big medicine box on his back, Cao Chun was already dead. Cao Pi slowly put down Cao Chun, his snow-white coat already stained red with blood, and he stared vaguely as he listened to what was happening.
There were sounds of killing from far and near. Cao Pi paid no attention to anyone and went straight back to his prince's palace. When he came out again, he was already neatly dressed, wearing a yellow scarf and armor. He wanted to choose a sword and a bright red cloak. He was majestic and very majestic.
He has the style of Cao Cao back then.
Liu Ye hurriedly hugged Cao Pi and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The dragon army is powerful and our army is unable to resist. General Cao Chun has been killed in the battle. It will not help if we go! Your Majesty, please think again!"
"I'm not your Majesty, I'm just the prince!" Cao Pi raised his foot and was about to kick Liu Ye away, but he saw Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao walking towards him, holding swords in their hands.
Looking at Cao Pi's family, Cheng Yu knew what he wanted to do, and then looked at Cao Chun who was dead beside him, and said coldly: "The Dragon Army has entered the city, and all other resistance is a useless sacrifice. You guys should immediately
Protect the prince and go through the east gate. I have sent someone to check, but there is no dragon army at the east gate."
Liu Ye agreed, couldn't help but ask someone to pick up Cao Pi, and ran eastward. Cao Pi refused to obey, but was hugged tightly by several soldiers. He couldn't help it at all. Cao Pi watched helplessly as he was being held and ran eastward.
Yelling, Dong Zhao shook his head slightly: "Hey! It seems Yecheng can't stand it any longer. Our army will be defeated in a few hours. What are Brother Zhongde's plans?" Cheng Yu looked calm and said nothing.
, just looking at the soldiers getting closer and closer in the distance.
Opening the east gate, it was dark outside. No one knew if there was an ambush by the Dragon Army. Liu Ye took a look and sent a few soldiers out to check. The news was that no one was there. Liu Ye then took Cao Pi out of the city and quickly went there.
I ran forward. I didn’t know how far I ran in the darkness. I felt that there was no more shouting of death behind me, so I stopped. Looking at Yecheng again, I could only vaguely see the outline of the city wall in the darkness.
Cao Pi cried, crying like a child. The rest of the Cao family were all in the city, and even Cao Cao's body was still lying in the main hall of the palace. Liu Ye didn't speak, waiting for Cao Pi to release the pressure in his heart. After a long time, Cao Pi
He stopped crying, stood up with tears in his eyes, and looked around. The only person following him out was Liu Yehe, a civil servant, and there were only a dozen or so soldiers.
Liu Ye knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Highness, the matter is urgent. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible so that we can continue the glory of our Kingdom of Wei!" As soon as Liu Ye finished speaking, other officials and soldiers all knelt down.
Cao Pi looked up to the sky and sighed: "If the country is gone, who will be the emperor?"
Liu Ye said: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe and sound, Wei will still have a chance. I sincerely ask His Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible!" Liu Ye winked at the people on both sides. Someone went up and pushed Cao Pi down on a big rock. Everyone was sitting in the wilderness.
Lingshan Hu. Although it is simple, all the etiquette is relatively thorough. Liu Ye represents the civil officials and the captain of the guard represents the generals and swears allegiance to Cao Pi. Worshiping the heaven and earth and ancestors are all done in an orderly manner. The voice is not too loud, even the sleeping person next to him.
None of the crickets heard it.
In the barren mountains and ridges, facing north and facing south, Cao Pi, the second emperor of Wei, ascended the throne.
