The sky was already bright and it was a sunny day. In the north, it rarely rains continuously in autumn.
There were clouds like fish scales in the sky. Under the misty clouds, the raging war had begun. The Xuzhou Army's general attack on Shouzhang City began under the leadership of Chu Nan.
The dense rain of arrows fell like meteors on the uncertain battle formation. If you look at the wells, ladders, and chariots like war monsters from a high altitude, they are like reptiles constantly clinging to the city. Some of them are already approaching the city.
Being ignited, people rushed towards the city wall from the ladder or well, like ants.
Life is indeed as small as an ant in war.
The defense force in the city became weak just as Chu Nan expected. Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun, who were responsible for attacking the city, knew this well.
The opportunity to break the city has arrived!
They didn't know where Chu Nan made the judgment, and they didn't need Chu Nan to remind them. After being keenly aware of this, their offensive became even more fierce.
Zhang Liao went into battle in person and came to the city wall to command the soldiers to charge. Gao Shun handed over the command to Ji Ling and personally led the trapped camp to the top of the city. Huang Zhong's three thousand sharpshooters kept releasing meteor-like fire on the city wall.
rain of arrows.
The siege battle entered into a fierce battle from the beginning. Yu Jin tried his best to run between the cities, boosting morale and ordering the soldiers to defend the city. However, the soldiers, whose morale was already low, noticed that Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong,
Generals such as Cao Chun and Le Jin never showed up, and bad suspicions had begun to be planted in people's minds.
No matter how hard they tried to hold up the battle formation defending the city, they eventually collapsed bit by bit.
Even if some famous people in the city came forward to reinforce the city wall and help defend the city, facing the surging troops of Xuzhou Army, they could only stop them for a moment. There was no chance to reverse the defeat.
"Boom~"
The battle formation finally shattered. As the battle formation shattered, roaring stone bullets smashed down the city wall. The stone bullets containing the power of thousands of armies directly made a big hole in the city wall. The female wall shattered, and the soldiers who lost their footing fell directly into the city wall.
It fell down together with the parapet.
He was unfortunate because he happened to be in the position where he was hit by the stone bullet. He was also lucky because the broken pieces of the female wall directly penetrated his body. He no longer had to face the despair when the city was destroyed.
Almost at the same time, Huang Zhong's arrow rain covered the entire city wall like a meteor shower. It was not as powerful as stone bullets, but it was even worse. The entire city wall was smashed into pits under the arrow rain. The arrows were so powerful that as long as they were grazed,
, the muscles and bones may be broken, and if you don't die, you will be useless for the rest of your life.
Wails echoed on the city walls.
Compared to this side, Gao Shun's side is much simpler. The trapped camp had already climbed onto the city and occupied a large section of the city wall before the battle formation was broken. The collapse of the battle formation had a lot to do with the trapped camp's landing on the city.
In this final battle of Shouzhang, the trapped camp ascended first and won the first victory.
Chu Nan was the last one to enter the city. The defeated Cao Jun wanted to withdraw from the north gate and break out, but was stopped by Wei Yan who had been waiting here. This time, Yu Jin failed to break through. Facing this former opponent, in
Their morale was completely depleted and the whole city was defeated. Although they fought hard, they still failed to break out from Wei Yan's hands again, and were eventually captured alive by Wei Yan in the rebel army.
The melee in the city is still going on, but Wei Yan did not enter the city, but waited here, hoping to catch a few more big fish. Without the battle formation, the commander of Cao Ying, no one could escape in front of the fully armed Wei Yan.
.
However, after staring for a day, when the sounds of fighting in the city gradually disappeared, the big fish in my imagination did not appear.
"Where are the others!?" These were the first words Yu Jin said after Zhang Liao and others stabilized order in the city and came out to join Wei Yan.
With Wei Yan's ability, even if he couldn't take down all the generals in Cao's army, there shouldn't be only one Yu Jin.
Wei Yan pointed at the generals who had been captured by him and a large number of surrendered troops. He frowned and said, "They are all here. I have never even seen the others. Did they break through from other directions?"
Zhang Liao and others looked at each other and shook their heads. Naturally, they also paid attention to this, but they found nothing at all.
"The enemy's sudden attack on the camp last night is related to this matter?" Gao Shun suddenly asked.
Last night's night attack was a bit inexplicable, more like suicide.
Wei Yan shook his head, how could he know this?
He quickly ordered people to invite Chu Nan to come over. The battlefield was fierce and dangerous. If he had not led the troops, Chu Nan would not have taken the initiative to join the battlefield. The war was over. After receiving the message from Wei Yan, he brought Zhou Cang here.
Go outside the city gate.
"It seems that he escaped last night!" Chu Nan was a little helpless. He should have arrested someone to ask, but ordinary generals may not know about this kind of thing.
"Let's enter the city first!" Chu Nan suggested. He couldn't think of anything here. If he really left last night, they wouldn't be able to catch up to him even if they knew the direction in which he was escaping.
Everyone agreed and surrounded Chu Nan into the city.
With his broken arm, Chu Nan heard the timid crying of women, the wailing of old people, the children who were afraid of them, and the men with numb expressions. Sometimes Chu Nan would hate that his consciousness was so sharp.
Such a miserable scene was something he didn't want to see, but it was unavoidable in this troubled world.
Although we have tried our best to restrain the soldiers from harming the people, this kind of thing is inevitable when the city is destroyed.
With a low mood, Chu Nan and the generals arrived at the temporary residence of the Cao family.
"You left yesterday?" Chu Nan looked at the frightened maid and asked in as gentle a tone as possible.
"Yes." The maidservant was like a quail: "Yesterday morning, the young master suddenly ordered people to pack up, and left at night with his wife and the two young gentlemen, without taking anyone else with him."
"Go down." Chu Nan waved his hand and motioned for the maid to go down. He looked at everyone and said, "What happened last night must be for this reason."
"Will you go to Xuchang?" Zhou Cang asked.
"Shou Zhang has been defeated, and Xuchang cannot be defended." Zhang Liao answered him. This is a very simple truth. Shouzhang gathered the most elite troops of Cao's army, and even though they had enough troops and food, they could not hold on.
What's the meaning?
"My lord, we finally captured Yu Jin, why not call him for questioning?" Wei Yan said suddenly.
Chu Nan nodded, this may be the only gain from this battle.
After a while, Yu Jin was brought up. He looked sluggish, but it was not because he had suffered any crime. It was just that the battle formation was broken and the blow of defeat made him not in good spirits.
"General Yu, I'm Chu Nan. The name of General has been famous for a long time. I just wish I didn't have the opportunity to meet him." Chu Nan looked at Yu Jin and said with a smile.
"Kill if you want, why bother to say more?" Yu Jin snorted coldly.
"As far as Cao Jun is concerned, the general's loyalty has been fulfilled by staying behind. At this time, the general surrenders. I don't expect anyone to say anything to the general." Chu Nan looked at Yu Jin and smiled and said: "Now the Central Plains has been for me.
What the army gains is the time to employ men, and generals like the general are exactly what our army lacks."
Yu Jin glanced at Chu Nan and sneered: "What? Are you going to use family members to coerce you like Wen Qian again?"
"This is natural." Chu Nan said calmly.
The ban:"……"
Suddenly I didn't know how to answer it, so I just sneered and didn't reply.
"Cao's army left in such a hurry that many members of the Cao family were left behind, let alone the general who was responsible for cutting off the queen?" Chu Nan thought: "And if Cao's army allowed the general to cut off the queen, but then took away the general's family, the general probably wouldn't hold on to his longevity.
Zhang, give them a chance to escape."
"So what?" Yu Jin said disdainfully: "This is the place of benevolence and righteousness."
"Benevolence and righteousness?" Chu Nan smiled, looked at Yu Jin and said, "If they take him away, maybe he is really benevolent and righteous."
"What do you mean?" Yu Jin frowned.
"If the general refuses to surrender, even if we don't embarrass the general's family, they may not be able to live well, and..." Chu Nan looked at Yu Jin and said: "You and our armies have been fighting for several months, and both sides have suffered casualties. General guess
After the general's death, will the family live a good life? The general's greatest value to them is to sever his wife for them. They probably also guessed that the general will refuse to surrender, so..."
"Shut up!" Yu Jin shouted angrily: "Don't try to seize the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. We are brothers and sisters, how can they tolerate such evil intentions?"
Chu Nan looked at Yu Jin seriously, and Yu Jin's scalp was numb. He felt as if he had been seen through. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and said, "What do you think I am doing?"
"General, are you serious about what you said?" Chu Nan looked at him and asked with a smile.
"The general believes it, but after the general's death, he is really useless to them. As for the general's family, they have become a burden. It is better to be buried in Shouzhang City with the general, which can also win the general a beauty that will last forever.
Name." Chu Nan sighed: "I just pity the general's wife and children."
Yu closed his eyes as if he didn't want to talk anymore.
"Well, since the general doesn't want to think this way, I will consider myself a villain for nothing and go and rest. I can tolerate a talent like the general. If the general figures it out and tells me, the general's wife and children don't need to worry.
I'll take care of it for you later." Chu Nan waved his hand, indicating that Yu Jin would be taken away.
"Order someone to take good care of his wife and children." After Yu was banned from leaving, Chu Nan ordered: "Remember, no one, I mean no one, is allowed to do anything to insult his wife and children. He must be treated kindly."
When he said this, a certain power emerged, which made people's hearts sink unconsciously. Even generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who had experienced hundreds of battles felt like their momentum was being oppressed.
"Don't worry, Ziyan." Zhang Liao and Gao Shun nodded and said, "But what about the Cao family?"
"We can't catch up, and most of them have already defected to Jizhou at this time. Our army is pressed for time. We shouldn't put more energy on them at this time. What we should do now is to clear out the remaining evil and stabilize the Central Plains!" Chu Nan shook his head.
Shaking his head, he looked at the crowd and said: "First take down the remaining cities, and then together with Cao Xing and others, check household registrations and measure the cultivated land in various places. In the next period of time, there will be no big battles, but the small battles will not stop. From now on
The matter is left to the generals under your command, and your elite leaders are stationed in various places to guard against the emergence of large-scale rebellion. If there is any sign, suppress it immediately!"
