Chapter 375: Storms in Yecheng
It is said that the judge captured Xu You at night and brought him to a private prison for all kinds of humiliation, which made him addicted to life and death. Xu You thought about life and death, but he was a little more stubborn. The judge was intoxicated in the cat-and-mouse game and could not finish him off completely for a while. Little did he know that Chen Long's special forces team had already followed him here, and Chen Long had also led people straight to Shen Pei's residence.
After the loud noise, nearly one-third of the troops who took turns defending the city wall in Yecheng were buried in the rubble as the city wall collapsed. Even if they were lucky enough to survive the fall, they were trampled to death by the Black Mountain army that followed. Other troops were either trapped in the city wall or in the barracks, fighting independently and in chaos.
There are a lot of Yuan soldiers left in the city, but the collapse of the city wall is like a flood breaking through an embankment, the panic is like a plague, and the loud noise is like thunder rolling in the sky, which has long destroyed the psychological defense of all Yuan soldiers. In the chaos, Yuan Bing could hardly organize a decent resistance. The civil servants were nowhere to be seen, and the generals fled towards the inner city and the north gate like headless flies. The family members of the Yuan family, who were not aware of the impending disaster, packed their bags and ran away. It would be too late.
At this time, Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, was nesting in a corner of a house not far from the east city gate. His face was black and gray, his hair was curly, and he was panting. Yuan Shao was surrounded by dozens of soldiers at the core. The only general among them was Jiang Yiqu, the captain of the bodyguard, who was nervously watching the guards at the door. The once arrogant patriarch of the Yuan clan, a legitimate descendant of the fourth and third princes of the Han Dynasty, and the absolute super overlord of Jizhou, has now been reduced to running around like a chicken. Yuan Shao's absolute confidence in guarding Yecheng was completely shattered by two loud bangs.
Jiang Yiqu, whose face was also covered in black and gray, strode in, bowed and said: "My lord, Sui Yuanjin has led a thousand cavalry and they have arrived outdoors. Let's retreat quickly. The eldest son must have led troops outside the north city to respond."
Yuan Shao felt frustrated, raised his cloudy eyes, and murmured, "Can Yecheng really not be defended?" Jiang Yiqu did not dare to reply. He knew this lord best and was not seeking his own opinion now. Yuan Shao has always been stubborn and will not admit that the failure was caused by himself. If you answer carelessly, you will be killed immediately.
Yuan Shao finally stood up holding on to the wall. Thinking of his sons, he regained a glimmer of hope and waved his hand: "A man can bend and stretch, and victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists! We will return to Handan later. There are still Tan'er, monk, and hundreds of thousands of others." Soldiers and horses, as well as millions of people in Jizhou! A comeback is still unknown!" After the scene was finished, the group left the residence. Sui Yuanjin had prepared several war horses. Yuan Shao jumped up and ordered to Sui Yuanjin: " Yuan Jin, you take several hundred people and burn down the grain storehouse and weapons storehouse for me, and you won't leave any of them for the dragon beads!" Sui Yuanjin agreed and led his troops away. Jiang Yiqu protected Yuan Shao and quickly retreated towards the north gate.
Halfway through, Yuan Shao thought of all the beautiful wives and concubines, and was so upset that he divided hundreds of people to help the family members retreat. Jiang Yiqu had no choice but to let his troops dwindle. Fortunately, there were still many Yuan family soldiers and horses in the north of Yecheng. They gathered several thousand people along the way and killed them all the way to the north gate.
Sui Yuanjin led hundreds of cavalrymen and rushed toward the grain and grass depot with torches held high. It was already bright at this time, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Sui Yuanjin saw that the surrounding area of the grain and grass depot was quiet, so he did not doubt that it was there, so he dismounted and rushed directly into the grain and grass depot. Library ignition. Suddenly, countless infantrymen surged out from around the grain storehouse, surrounding Sui Yuanjin's hundred men. A general walked out of the storehouse laughing, holding a strong bow with an iron arrow in his hand. , the tip of Senhan's arrow locked on Sui Yuanjin, and shouted: "Enemy general, listen to me, this is Donglai Taishi Ci! If you take another step forward, they will all be shot to pulp!" Just listen to the sound of a uniform opening. With the sound of bows, countless bright arrows flashed out from the surrounding infantry, intimidating Sui Yuanjin and all his men within a few inches in front of the grain depot.
Sui Yuanjin had already heard of Donglai Taishi Ci, and knew that he was unparalleled in arrows. Only Huang Zhong and Sun Ce could compare with him, so he stayed in place for a while without daring to move. I don't know which Yuan Bing's torch fell to the ground first, and suddenly the torches and weapons fell into piles on the ground. Mu Yuanjin knew that if he didn't surrender, he would all turn into hedgehogs. He violently threw the torch and the sword in his hands to the ground. , knelt down on one leg, kowtowed to the ground and said: "Mu Yuanjin is willing to surrender!" The people behind him immediately knelt on the ground. The general surrendered. Who dared to hold on?
It turned out that Chen Long had no food. After the city was broken, what he valued most was of course the food reserves in Yecheng. *The destruction of the city was so sudden that Yuan Shaojue had no time to deal with the grain and grass immediately, so Zhou Buyi had already planned a strategy for Tai Shici to lead troops to seize the grain depot. After Taishi Ci robbed the grain depot, he laid an ambush around the grain depot. He thought he might capture Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that his plan was in vain and he only captured a small Sui Yuanjin.
Yuan Shao escaped from Beicheng, and sure enough, Yuan Tan had led Wen Chou and led troops to meet him outside Beicheng. At that time, the north gate of Yecheng was still under the control of Yuan Bing. Yuan Tan's eyes were glowing red, and he was obviously very angry. He asked his father: "Father, I have brought 30,000 troops here, led by General Wen Chou. Do you want to kill him immediately?" go back?"
At this time, if Wen Chou returns to Yecheng, and Yuan Shao gathers the remaining defeated soldiers, he may be able to have a battle with the Black Mountain Army, creating two situations, and the final victory or defeat is still unknown. Yuan Shao, however, was already frightened. He ignored Yuan Tan's suggestion and shouted: "My son, please don't be impulsive. Now the Black Mountain Army has entered the city with guns. Our army stopped three times and died one time, causing heavy losses. I have asked Sui Yuan to go in and burn grain and grass. He The army will retreat without food. You can wait here for a moment longer, pick up your mother and a few young mothers, and then escort them back to Handan. Hold the city and reorganize the army before fighting again!" After that, he hit his horse and fled to Handan.
Yuan Tan had no choice but to meet with his family outside the city with Wen Chou. Sure enough, a wave of civilians poured out, many of them family members of high-ranking officials, mixed with fleeing and defeated soldiers. Yuan Tan let them all go until his family arrived, and then hurriedly retreated to Handan. . When the soldiers at the north gate of Yecheng saw that Mr. Yuan had also withdrawn and who was still defending the city, they immediately dispersed.
In this endless group of escapes, Shen Pei and his family members never appeared. At this time, Shen Pei was looking desperately at the several strong men with sharp swords and guns who broke in. The family members who had already packed their bags were hiding behind Shen Pei and shivering.
Shen Pei was also a bit brave. He stood in front of the hall and shouted: "I am a disciple of Jizhou Mu Yuan Gong, and I am also Shen Pei, the general commander of the Hebei Shogunate of Han Dynasty. Why are you waiting for grass bandits to come to your door? If you retreat quickly, you can save your life!"
The trial partner made some false threats, and Chen Long, who was standing in front of him, almost laughed out loud and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is the official of the Han Dynasty. Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
Shen Pei was stunned and said: "Who are you? Are you also an official of the imperial court? Since we are ministers of the same dynasty, why did you break into my mansion without permission?"
Fu Tong next to him couldn't help it and shouted: "Young shogunate official, why don't you pay homage to the current Puyang governor?" Only then did the judge realize that he was playing a trick on him. He snorted and spat on the ground to express his disdain.
Long Zhu, played by Chen Long, is indeed the imperial governor of Puyang. Ever since he captured Puyang, he had already drafted an imperial edict, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty approved it correctly. Shen Pei said disdainfully: "How presumptuous, does a little eunuch want to pretend to be an imperial envoy in this great Jizhou?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
