As soon as the melee began, Yuan Tan, Wang Xiu and their men were at a disadvantage. First, there were few people, and second, the morale of the troops was disorganized. Those soldiers who were not determined when they saw the Feiyu Army rushing over with great momentum, immediately surrendered.
, there was not even symbolic resistance.
Some Zhao soldiers resisted symbolically, but as soon as they resisted, they were killed by the Feiyu soldiers who rushed over.
Yuan Tan led his entourage to one side to break out of the encirclement. He turned around and saw that he and Wang Xiu were separated by the soldiers of the Feiyu Army. He was heartbroken and stopped paying attention to Wang Xiu. He only focused on leading more than a hundred of his entourage.
The cavalry fought fiercely.
Chen Dao swooped down from the high slope and yelled "get out of the way". The Feiyu Army soldiers in front quickly gave way to a path. He rode alone through the path and rushed towards the enemy who was breaking out.
Yuan Tan shouted: "Where to go?"
Yuan Tan heard that he was fighting with the soldiers of the Feiyu Army, and he attacked several times without even killing any enemy soldiers. He couldn't help but cursed secretly. As soon as he finished cursing, he heard Chen Dao rushing over from the front.
, and at the same time, he also heard Chen Dao's loud shout. He thought secretly: "Capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as you kill the enemy general first, the enemy army will collapse and retreat..."
"Whoever wants to run away, come on, I'm not afraid of you." Yuan Tanyi was a brave man. He relied on his own strength to surpass others. With a loud "drive" shout, he rode his horse and ran towards Chen Dao.
The two horses crossed each other, and Yuan Tan made the first move, stabbing Chen Dao in the ribs with the long sword in his hand.
With a crisp sound of "dang", Chen Dao blocked Yuan Tan's attack with the Yuan Dao held in his right hand. He held the horse's belly between his legs and quickly slashed Yuan Tan's neck with the Yuan Dao held in his left hand.
go out.
The sharp Yang Dao emitted a ray of light under the refraction of the sun's rays, stabbing Yuan Tan's eyes unable to open. The light was fleeting, and the Yang Dao slashed across Yuan Tan's neck, and a human head was separated from the body.
, blood spurted out from the arteries in his neck like a fountain, splashing more than two meters high.
Yuan Tan's head was still flying in the air. Chen Dao hurriedly stabbed it out with the mandarin knife held in his right hand, directly hitting the face of Yuan Tan's head. Yuan Tan's head was stuck in the tip of the knife and ran with his horse.
Chen Dao hurriedly reined in his horse, glanced at the chaotic battlefield, raised the mandarin knife held in his right hand high, causing Yuan Tan's head to shine brightly when the tip of the knife was inserted, and shouted loudly: "
Yuan Tan is dead, if you still don’t lay down your weapons and surrender, when will you wait?”
The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking every Zhao Jun soldier present. Seeing Yuan Tan being brought to the head, they lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one by one.
"Let me go!" Wang Xiu couldn't help but yelled loudly as Liao Hua grabbed his body tightly and couldn't break free.
Chen Dao turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiu, then asked, "Who are you?"
"He is Yuan Tan's military advisor. Don't drive Wang Xiu in Qingzhou!" Liao Hua pushed Wang Xiu in front of Chen Dao and said loudly.
Chen Dao glanced at Wang Xiu and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"
Wang Xiudao: "I would rather die than surrender!"
Chen Dao sneered and said to Liao Hua: "This man is a righteous man, General Liao, please let him go."
Liao Hua asked curiously: "Let him go?"
Chen Dao nodded and explained slowly: "Yuan Tan has lost Qingzhou, and Jizhou is about to be split into two. The Yuan family is in doom and gloom. His Qingzhou Biejia alone cannot stir up much trouble. Wang Biejia's
Let him go and let him do what he wants."
Liao Hua let go of Wang Xiu's hand and shouted to Wang Xiu: "Go away, don't let me meet you again in the future."
Not only did Wang Xiu not leave, but he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a mournful face: "I, Wang Xiu, am incompetent and unable to turn the tide, causing Qingzhou to be lost. I am sorry for you, lord..."
"Oh..." Chen Dao suddenly interrupted Wang Xiu's words and said lightly, "I forgot to tell you Wang Biejia. Now your lord is Yuan Xi, not Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao and his youngest son Yuan Shang passed away together.
.Now I kill Yuan again
Tan, Yuan Xi is the only one left in the Yuan family, and they are still surrounded in Ye City. Even if you die, your death will be in vain. No one will see that you died for the Yuan family. I will only tell the outside world.
Announcing that you had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, Yuan Tan found out and killed you..."
"You...you...you are so vicious..." Wang Xiu pointed at Chen Daoxi and was speechless.
"Hahaha! Are you vicious? You so-called celebrities, all day long only know how to improve your reputation, and all day long you only think about how to leave a name in history. If you die today, you will be infamy for eternity.
My lord is currently employing people, and what he needs is scribes like you. If you surrender to my lord, you will not only be able to save your life, but you may also be famous throughout the ages." Chen Dao said with a smile.
Wang Xiu thought about it carefully, then sighed and said slowly: "That's it, that's all, I'm willing to surrender..."
Chen Dao turned over and dismounted, grabbed Wang Xiu's hand, and said with a smile: "That's great. Farewell, Wang. I just have something for you to do. Consider it a great gift for surrendering to my lord."
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "General, there is no need to say anything more. Wang Xiu knows what to do. There are four thousand infantrymen behind him. Give me a horse and I can persuade the uprising with just one mouth."
"Very good, General Liao, prepare a war horse for Wang Biejia and send him out." Chen Dao said with a smile on his face.
Liao Hua said "Promise", then brought a war horse, handed the reins of the war horse to Wang Xiu, and said at the same time: "This is a high-quality war horse, raised by the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall. It is very endurance and can run for you."
A round trip.”
Wang Xiu took the reins of the horse, glanced at Chen Dao, and asked: "General, aren't you afraid that I will never return, or that I will lead the four thousand remnant troops to avenge Yuan Tan?"
Chen Dao laughed and said: "You have your freedom, and this is also the best moment to express your feelings. Even if you lead troops to attack me, all of my subordinates will be equal to a hundred. It is no problem to deal with your infantry.
Their life and death are in your hands."
Wang Xiu sneered and said: "Although the general did not kill me, he has already killed me several times. Every word the general said can make me go to a dead end. I, Wang Xiu, admire it. Before sunset, I
I must bring the four thousand remnant troops to surrender. If I am delayed for a moment, please behead me. General, take your leave now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu got on his horse and left the encirclement under the escort of Liao Hua. Then he rode out alone on the road he came from.
"General Chen, will Wang Xiu really bring his troops to surrender?" Gao Lin rode his horse to Chen Dao's side. When he saw Wang Xiu's retreating back, he opened his mouth and asked.
Chen Dao smiled and replied: "He is a smart man, and smart people have their own way of living. What's more, before leaving, the Lord had told him to recruit more soldiers and celebrities from Qingzhou, and rely on them to fight back to Qingzhou in the future.
.”
Although Gao Lin stayed with Gao Fei for a long time, he was not good at understanding Gao Fei's thoughts. He was just a good soldier who obeyed all orders. Lu Heng was also the person Gao Fei relied on the most. He first served as Gao Fei's personal captain.
Later, his official position gradually rose, and he once became a general guarding Fan Yang. After listening to Chen Dao's words, he could guess what Gao Fei was thinking.
"Take the troops back to camp!" Chen Dao shouted loudly.
In the evening, Wang Xiu came to Chen Dao with 4,000 remnant troops and successfully persuaded them to surrender. Chen Dao saw that Yuan Tan's matter was over, so he decided to lead his troops back to the Yan army camp outside Yecheng.
, prepare to participate in the general attack on Yecheng.
…
There is a vast ocean inside and outside Yecheng. The floodwater pouring down from the Zhanghe River rolled down along the river channel that had been dug. The moat was instantly overflowing with water. After circling the city for a week, the endless flow of floodwater was blocked and could not be found.
Wherever the ferocity of the flood was released, it began to spread to the ground, and soon flowed into Ye City along the gap under the city gate.
Jushou stood on the city tower, looking at the flood pouring down outside. He never dreamed that there would be so much flood. The gap in the city gate was still too small. The flood that could not be vented instantly rose at the base of the city wall. The water level
It rises higher and higher.
He stared at the connected earth walls outside the city, and then took another look at the flood. Only then did he understand. He couldn't help but sigh heavily: "So that's it. Gao Fei's ingenuity is far better than I can count."
Times, it turns out that from the beginning of the siege, we had already planned to use water from the Zhang River to flood Ye City..."
Han Meng stood behind Ju Shou. After hearing what Ju Shou said, he asked: "Strategic Advisor, what did you just say?"
Jushou sneered, raised his right hand, pointed with his index finger at the earthen wall outside and said slowly: "General Han, when you see those deep ditches and high fortresses outside, they were all planned by Gao Fei in advance. His purpose
Not to besiege the city, but to flood Yecheng. You
Look around here. The originally intermittent earth walls have been connected into one. Those deep ditches act as reservoirs when floods come, which can reduce the accumulation of water on the ground. I really admire Gao Fei.
So thoughtful..."
After hearing Jushu's explanation, Han Meng took a look at the earthen walls outside the city. He saw that the earthen walls were high and thick, forming a parallel line with the moat. They also surrounded Yecheng. Although the pouring floods quickly covered the city,
He entered the moat, but it was blocked by this earth wall. The water could not flow out and could only flow towards Ye City. As a result, the water level continued to rise, and more and more water flowed at the city gate.
"Military advisor, is Gao Fei really that amazing?" Han Meng asked in confusion.
Jushu said: "General Han, you are now the backbone of the entire Zhao army. Wen Chou surrendered and Yan Liang died in battle. The only one who can rely on you is you. Please be prepared. Maybe at dawn tomorrow, Gao Fei will surrender."
We have tried our best to attack the city, but it is hard to say whether Yecheng can survive this crisis."
Han Meng said: "It seems that the decisive battle between Zhang He and I should also begin..."
(Author's note: The third update is late. The update time has been slightly changed. It will not be updated in the early morning. It will be updated during the day. It will be updated around nine o'clock in the morning. Please forgive me. Also, I admit that I used too much pen and ink on Yuan Shao.
There is too much foreshadowing, and the plot is a bit dragged out, but it has reached this point, and it cannot start but end at the end. Please wait patiently for a while. The section about the enemy approaching the city will definitely have a good ending, and it is basically nearing the end.
