Zhuge Liang screamed and jumped back as if he had stepped on dog shit.
The servants and maids on the left and right were also screaming in fright, and they all hid their faces and did not dare to look down.
The dark thing on the ground turned out to be a stick of that thing.
Although Zhuge Liang made suggestions and helped Liu Bei kill many people, he himself had never seen blood, let alone such a terrifying thing.
Zhuge Liang was frightened on the spot, and there were even beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. It took him a long while to recover.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was puzzled again, thinking to himself how could Yan Liang be so shameless, not giving up his life, but sending such a disgusting filth to scare him.
While he was doubting, Zhuge Liang's heart suddenly shook, as if he suddenly understood the reason.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look at the toy on the ground again, with a look of horror and pain in his eyes, because he had already thought about who that thing belonged to.
There is no doubt that he should be the root of his own Zhuge Jun.
Yan Liang actually castrated his younger brother!
In an instant, Zhuge Liang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and endless anger surged in his chest like boiling lava.
"Yan Thief, you did this to my brother. If I, Zhuge Liang, don't kill you, I will never be a human being~~"
Zhuge Liang was so angry that he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes almost exploded with anger.
At this time, Zhuge Liang had completely lost his original calm, elegant and unrestrained appearance, and he was just an avenger who was blinded by anger.
Although Zhuge Liang was angry and swore poisonous oaths, he was just trying to satisfy his craving and could not actually do anything to Yan Liang.
On the contrary, Yan Liang, on the third day after capturing Tiegang, 200,000 troops marched northward, approaching Yecheng.
This time, Liu Bei has no retreat. If he loses Yecheng, his Han Kingdom will fall apart. He must use all his strength to defend the Han Kingdom's capital.
In order to resist Yan Liang, Liu Bei tried his best. He scraped together old and weak soldiers and county soldiers with no fighting ability and mobilized them to Yecheng. He barely formed a legion of about 80,000 people.
Liu Bei then took Ye City as the core and the two strong fortresses set up in the east and west of Ye City as the horns, preparing for a last-ditch battle to defend Ye City.
Yan Liang's army advanced to Xiazhai, five miles south of Yecheng, and formed the main attacking army with 100,000 troops. Opposite Yecheng, the remaining 100,000 troops were divided into various camps, forming a company camp that stretched for several miles.
After the army forced the city into the stronghold, Yan Liang was not in a hurry to launch a general attack on Ye City. Instead, at Pang Tong's suggestion, he divided his forces to cut off the wings around Ye City. He gradually isolated Ye City and then launched a large-scale siege.
Yan Liang first ordered Zhang Ren to lead 10,000 troops to capture Shexian County to the west of Yecheng and cut off the connection between Yecheng and Dang County to the west.
Then, Yan Liang ordered Zhu Huan to lead an army of 10,000 to attack Wei County eastward, cutting off the connection between Yecheng and Pingyuan County, and at the same time guarding against the threat of Zhang Fei's troops and guarding the flanks.
Yangping and Pingyuan counties to the east of Yecheng, as well as Shangdang County to the west, are all prosperous places. Nearly one-third of Yecheng's grain supply comes from these counties.
After Yan Liang cut off the two roads east and west of Yecheng, Liu Bei could only rely on the only grain road from the north to transport grain and grass from Guangping, Julu, Anping and other counties in northern Hebei to Yecheng to supply military supplies.
Yan Liang used the national strength of ten states to supply more than 300,000 troops for the Northern Expedition, while Liu Bei supplied nearly 130,000 to 400,000 soldiers and horses with the territory of less than three states. You can imagine who was under greater pressure.
Even though Yan Liang besieged Li Yang for eight months, when the battle reached this point, it was Liu Bei who first began to run out of food and grass.
In order to supply the troops and horses on the front line of Yecheng, Liu Bei could only increase the search for food and grass. His claim to the throne was based on the support of the powerful people. Even if Liu Bei searched for food and grass, he would not dare to increase the search for food and grass.
levy.
In this way, those severe losses and heavy gifts can naturally only be transferred to the common people.
For a time, the grain-collecting county soldiers went deep into the villages of Hebei and forcibly confiscated the people's grain and grass. Anyone who resisted was dealt with violently.
The land of Hebei is full of complaints, and the people's resentment towards Liu Bei is increasing day by day.
But Liu Bei didn't care about the ordinary people. After he ordered Guan Yu to be shot, Liu Bei had completely torn off the pretense of benevolence and righteousness. As long as he could block the Chu army's attack, Liu Bei could do anything now.
After much hard work, Liu Bei finally managed to survive the summer. When the autumn grain came down, Liu Bei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
It's a pity that Liu Bei had a good harvest, and Yan Liang's land of ten states had an even better harvest after experiencing this good year.
As a result, the newly harvested grain was continuously transported from the ten states to the front line. In the grain-harvesting base set up by the Chu army in Anyang City, millions of dendrobium grains were already piled up like mountains.
With enough food and grass and no worries anymore, Yan Liang decided to launch a full-scale attack on Yecheng.
The first target Yan Liang chose to attack was the East Camp of the Han Army guarded by Le Jin.
That day, when the sky was still dark, smoke was already floating in the camps. Chickens and sheep were being slaughtered in each camp. The best white rice brought from Jingyang was cooked. In a short time, the Chu army's camps stretched for several miles.
Already enveloped by the aroma of rice and meat.
The soldiers all felt full of energy after eating this sumptuous breakfast.
When daylight broke, the Chinese army's camp was already full of people, and thousands of fully armed Chu soldiers were waiting in line.
But the silent crowd suddenly became excited at a certain moment.
Amid the cheers of support from all the soldiers, and under the gaze of everyone, the heroic emperor was sitting on a red horse as red as fire, holding the cold-light Qinglong Sword, and wearing a silver-light Yitian on his waist.
Sword, head held high, slowly passed between them.
Yan Liang's thick eyebrows pressed tightly against his sharp eyes like a falcon. In his eyes, there was arrogance and murderousness, burning like fire.
"Long live~~"
"Long live~~"
The soldiers of the Chu army shouted long live, and the crowd was full of voices.
Yan Liang glanced around, and saw a forest of swords, guns, swords, and dazzling armor. At a glance, the sky and the earth were covered with darkness, and the momentum was so majestic.
More than 100,000 soldiers were ready, just waiting for his order.
Yan Liang took a deep breath, raised his sword and shouted: "Come out with the entire army and raze the enemy camp to the ground for me!"
The sound of horse hooves, drums and horns sounded like thunder, and the flags in the camps undulated like huge waves. More than 100,000 soldiers came out of the camps in an orderly manner and slowly assembled towards the battlefield to the east.
For several miles, in the large camps one after another, groups of infantry and cavalry came out slowly, like the flow of hundreds of rivers, converging towards the east camp of the Han army. Finally, in that wilderness, they formed a dense forest of iron armor.
of the vast ocean.
At this time, the sun was already in the sky, and one hundred thousand Chu troops formed a huge formation in the wilderness.
The soldiers of the Han army in Ye City, seeing the overwhelming power of the Chu army, all secretly breathed cold air and felt terrified in their hearts.
Liu Bei, who had already heard the news and arrived at the city, frowned and secretly sweated.
The people in Yecheng were so frightened. The Dongying Han army, which was about to attack, was even more nervous, and everyone looked panicked.
Le Jin stood on the front line of the camp gate, his face gloomy, and the fire of hatred flashed in his brows.
"Tie Yan, if you have the guts to come here, I, Le Jin, will avenge the Cao family!" Le Jin swore secretly in his heart.
Le Jin was a veteran general of Cao Cao's Yuan Dynasty, but Cao Cao and his Cao family were destroyed by Yan Liang. Naturally, Le Jin held a grudge in his heart, and all he thought about day and night was revenge.
Under the red imperial flag, Yan Liang stood on horseback, looking ahead with a stern look.
Yan Lianggen didn't pay attention to that seemingly strong fortress. Today was the time to make Liu Bei tremble with fear.
"Kill——" Yan Liang pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly.
"Kill -" hundreds of Tiger Guard soldiers on the left and right roared in unison, the sound like thunder, spreading throughout the countryside.
In an instant, one hundred thousand generals followed and shouted loudly.
The sound of killing shook the sky. This furious roar was like the sky falling apart and the earth cracking, and it was like the roar of thousands of wild beasts, which made the Han soldiers in the enemy camp change their expressions.
With his morale high, Yan Liang pointed his sword and said coldly: "All armies, attack and capture the enemy camp for me."
When the decree was issued, hundreds of general flags waved in the wind, and the sound of war drums soared into the sky.
Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Yan Yan, Pan Zhang and other fierce generals who were good at attacking cities and strongholds all marched out with their armies.
Amid the thundering drums, more than a dozen phalanxes of sword and shield bearers, spearmen, crossbowmen and other types of soldiers slowly advanced towards the enemy camp.
In the blink of an eye, the nearly 50,000-strong entrenched legion had approached the enemy camp more than a hundred paces away.
In the enemy camp, Le Jin did not dare to doubt and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to release arrows.
At the same time, the generals in the Chu army also issued orders to shoot with bows and crossbows.
More than a hundred steps away, the buzzing sound of thousands of birds flapping their wings suddenly arose, the sound of horns and drums, and all the sounds in the world were instantly drowned in the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
The crossbowmen of the two armies fired their arrows almost at the same moment. The locust-like rain of arrows intertwined into a sky-covering net in the sky, and fell towards each other in the blink of an eye.
The sound of shrill screams suddenly broke out.
Among the 50,000 Chu troops trapped in the formation, there were nearly 10,000 crossbowmen alone. The volley of more than 10,000 people was so lethal that it was astonishing.
However, the Han army was well prepared to defend one side and equipped with a large number of large shields, so it effectively withstood the Chu army's arrow attacks.
However, the Chu army could only rely on hand shields to deflect arrows. The attacking side was at a disadvantage. For example, the Han army only had three thousand crossbowmen, and the damage to the Chu army was quite severe.
The bows and arrows fired rapidly, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Chu army. Blood splashed everywhere, and the feet of the living were soaked in blood marshes.
Faced with this cruel blow, the Chu army athletes who had experienced hundreds of battles used their strong will to suppress the fear in their hearts and bravely faced the rain of arrows and moved forward bravely.
The iron walls of the military formation advanced in the rain of arrows, the fallen corpses were trampled, and the rotten flesh and blood were stepped deeply into the soil, dyeing the wilderness into a huge red carpet.
After more than a hundred steps of death, the Chu soldiers finally passed through.
As the sound of the war drums reached its peak, dozens of military formations exploded, and fifty thousand soldiers ran wildly, roaring like a tide towards the Han camp.
