Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

As a military adviser, Kuai Yue has been following Li Yi all the time. Seeing that Li Yi's expression was wrong, he stepped forward and reminded him softly: "Being kind does not command soldiers, and I hope the lord does not want the benevolence of women!"
"call--"
Li Yi let out a foul breath and said, "Let Huang Zhong tell the soldiers that the first to enter the city will be granted the title of marquis, promoted to the third rank, and rewarded with a thousand gold. In short, no matter what, the soldiers and horses in the city must be led to the west gate!"
After Li Yi said that, the expression on his face was distorted for a moment, because Li Yi knew very well that this promise was just a big cake for the soldiers below, and tricked them into fighting for their lives. The breakthrough for him to take Shouchun was not in Ximen at all.
"Here!"
Kuai Yue responded, and turned around to pass the order. Compared with Li Yi, although Kuai Yue's expression was serious, he didn't have much compassion for ordinary soldiers.
Following Li Yi's encouragement to Ximen Huang Zhong's troops, although Ximen suffered heavy casualties, under Huang Zhong's command, the number of threats to the city gate was also increasing. Continuously asking Ji Ling for help, although Ji Ling felt that something was wrong, he could only choose to send some soldiers and horses from the south gate and north gate for support.
As for the soldiers and horses at the east gate, Ji Ling did not dare to mobilize them, because Li Yi's army was outside, and there was no danger for the time being, but they didn't exert their strength. If they really attacked and Li Yi was in charge, the danger at the east gate would definitely be To defeat Ximen, Ji Ling must let Dongmen have enough manpower.
Although Li Yi couldn't directly see how Ji Ling mobilized his troops outside the city, Huang Zhong from Ximen was able to clearly judge how many reinforcements came from the opposite side based on the strength of the resistance at the top of the city.
After paying the loss of almost 3000 people, and the reinforcements from the top of the city came three times, Huang Zhong wiped the blood from his face, panted heavily and ordered to the soldiers: "Tell the Lord and the other two generals, Huang Zhong fulfilled his mission!"
Not long after Huang Zhong sent the news out, the outsides of the south and north gates of Shouchun City, which had been relatively quiet, also changed.
Outside the north gate, as the high wall erected was pushed down, the defenders on the top of the city all showed nervous expressions. Although there was no fighting at the north gate before, the deafening sound of fighting in the east and west of the city made them feel nervous. But it was true, especially since Ximen had been in emergency several times in a short period of time. For this reason, the North Gate also supported 1000 troops, which shows how difficult the war is.
Now that the city gate in front of him has changed, it is obvious to the defenders that Li Yi is about to launch an offensive against the north gate, so they can't help being nervous, even Li Feng, the guard at the north gate, is no exception.
However, as the earth wall fell and the trench was buried, the defenders on the other side of the moat did not line up to attack the city. On the contrary, only one person rode forward slowly, stopped and shouted to the top of the city: "Xiang is a Zhonglang under the command of Xianghou. General Wei Yan, please ask the generals in the city to come out and answer!"
If Ji Ling was here, it might still be the same as before, and he shot the arrow without saying a word, but Li Feng, the guard of the north gate, was a civilian leader, not as decisive as Ji Ling, and he also wanted to consume Wei Yan. After thinking for a while, he said: "I am Li Feng, and you are Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang? I think you are a good-looking talent, with an extraordinary bearing, and you should have a bright future. Why are you helping the tyrant and attacking my lord today? I advise you to do it as soon as possible..."
"Hahaha……"
Li Feng continued to babble, but was soon interrupted by Wei Yan's loud laughter. Although Wei Yan looked up at Li Feng, his eyes were full of contempt, and he said with disdain: "Yuan Shu is seriously ill, how long can he live?" The day is hard to predict, but my lord is wise and powerful, has made great achievements many times, and his future is limitless, and today Shouchun City is about to be destroyed, but you want to say surrender to me, hehe, are Yuan Shu's subordinates all such stupid people?"
"You are bold!"
Li Feng started to shout and curse immediately, but Wei Yan cared about it slowly, and said loudly: "People on the top of the city, listen up, the Ximen is about to be breached by General Huang, and your lives will be in danger at that time, I will give you a chance now, hurry up!" Open the door and surrender, if so, I can speak like the lord, Paul and others are safe, otherwise, in the future, we will destroy our family and family, don't blame Wei for his cruelty!
Hearing Wei Yan's shout, the city was buzzing. Although they were not in Ximen, Ximen's continuous emergency really made them very frightened. They were afraid that they would not be able to hold on there, and they would suffer if the city was broken. Now Wei Yan's words are also It proved this point very well, and many soldiers subconsciously thought that Ximen would not be able to stand up.
Fortunately, Wei Yan didn't say anything to death, and gave them a chance, which made many people shake their minds.
It's no wonder that the defenders were not firm in their will. In fact, Yuan Shu's situation was too bad. Many people had lost their heads. If it wasn't for the suppression of the generals, they would have run away long ago.
"Shut up and shoot the arrow!"
Hearing the vague discussions around him, Li Feng frowned, and immediately wanted the archers to shoot Wei Yan, but when Wei Yan saw several people who were about to draw bows and arrows at him, he narrowed his eyes and cursed loudly: "Who dares to let go?" arrow!"
Patting his chest, Wei Yan pointed to an archer on the top of the city who had already mounted an arrow and shouted: "If you dare to shoot an arrow at me today, after the city is broken, my lord will definitely kill your parents, your uncles and uncles, and let you If your son is a slave, your wife and daughter are prostitutes, if you have the guts to destroy your entire family and blood, you can shoot an arrow!"
Wei Yan's words are not vicious, every sentence is a matter of harming his family, and the archer is just an ordinary person, his previous actions were just following orders, but now he is threatened by a ruthless person like Wei Yan, his head is about to explode, As soon as his hand trembled, the arrow fell to the ground, and he didn't pick it up. He shivered and stepped back a few steps, hiding behind the city wall, as if he was afraid that Wei Yan would remember his appearance.
With this person taking the lead, several other archers also stopped their movements.
They are just ordinary people who farmed the land before they became soldiers. If they disrespected Wei Yan, Wei Yan would have no pressure to take revenge on their families after the city was broken. Moreover, it was impossible for anyone to stand up and speak for them at that time. .
When Li Feng saw Wei Yan, he frightened the people on his side with a few words, and reprimanded him with a face full of hatred: "You are so timid and timid, but you are worthy of the lord's kindness!"
Hearing Li Feng's words, Wei Yan laughed again and said, "Li Feng, I thought you were someone special, but I didn't think you were a fool. After Yuan Shu arrived in Yangzhou, he extorted money and extorted money, causing countless harm to the people. The soldiers at the top of the city are also from Yangzhou. How many family members have not been harmed by Yuan Shu? Today you say that Yuan Shu has kindness to them, and you are not ashamed to confuse right and wrong like this!"
"you!"
Li Feng's heart was blocked, and he was about to argue immediately, but when he saw the eyes of those soldiers, he felt powerless in his heart, because what Wei Yan said was right, Yuan Shu was indeed very good to them, the higher-ups, but to the soldiers below. It's hard to say.
At this moment, Wei Yanhu shouted loudly: "Chuan Xianghou general order, the people in the city, who can kill Li Feng, will be named Zhonglang General, and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
"Don't try to move my army!"
Li Feng cursed, grabbed a bow and arrow casually, and shot at Wei Yan. Wei Yan sneered, leaned forward, reached out and grabbed the arrow, then threw it aside, and said disdainfully: "You have no hand to bind a chicken!" A man of strength dares to lead troops, any archer under my lord's command is a hundred times better than you!"
Li Feng's teeth were itchy and his face was extremely red. He couldn't explain that he was just too anxious just now and didn't have time to aim, could he?
Wei Yan didn't care about Li Feng, and shouted again: "You are all born in poverty, and you have worked hard all your life, and it is difficult to honor your ancestors. Now a great opportunity is in front of you. Kill Li Feng alone, and you will be able to keep wealth for life. You don't need thousands of robes. Being implicated by the war, such a great opportunity, if you don't do it, when will you wait!"
After all, Wei Yan casually took one from the saddle and threw it on the ground. It was bright yellow and orange, and it was either a gold ingot or a pearl jade, which was very eye-catching.
As early as when Wei Yan persuaded him to surrender, some people on the top of the city were tempted, but this kind of thing is not so easy to make up your mind, especially when no one takes the lead, no one dares to be the first bird, but now Wei Yan directly took out the gold and silver treasures, the allure was extraordinary.
Li Feng also noticed the change in the atmosphere around him, and he couldn't help but panic. At this time, if it was Ji Ling who roared, he would probably be able to calm down the situation, but Li Feng is just a literati, so he can only bear it. Panicked and scolded: "Li Yi is a despicable villain, are you going to be deceived by him!"
As he said that, Li Feng hurriedly greeted a few more personal guards, protected himself, and separated him from the other generals on the top of the city.
Several lieutenants on the top of the wall were sullen, looking at me and looking at you. Suddenly, someone gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and Bao Quan said: "I'm sorry, General Li, Yuan Shijun's defeat has been decided, please also invite General Li You can consider the lives of the soldiers, don't add more casualties!"
"you!"
Li Feng's eyes widened immediately, he wanted to scold the lieutenant general, but the lieutenant general shouted, "Do it!"
Following this order, the deputy general rushed to Li Feng first with his own soldiers, while the other generals hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to attack Li Feng.
Li Feng is not Ji Ling, he doesn't have so many direct soldiers, and he is also a literati. After several lieutenants chose to defect, he could only scream in panic and ask the guards around him to step forward to resist, but it didn't do much at all.
Wei Yan watched the chaotic battle on the top of the city from below, and clenched his fists excitedly. He knew that this was a great achievement!
Waved to the back, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time lined up to the stone bridge, and the fighting at the top of the wall was over. A lieutenant threw Li Feng's head off the top of the wall, and shouted at Wei Yan: "Wei Yan!" General, Li Feng has been beheaded, we are willing to turn to the light, and hope that the general will speak well in front of Xianghou and forgive us for our sins."
Wei Yan suppressed his excitement, and shouted to the top of the city: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Lord Xiang rewards and punishes clearly, and you kill Li Feng, not only innocent, but also meritorious, and the other soldiers in the city are also meritorious!"
The deputy general understood that after killing Li Feng, there was no turning back, and what he said just now was just self-consolation. Now that he had Wei Yan's guarantee again, he stopped hesitating and shouted: "Put down the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and welcome Wei Yan." The general enters the city!"
"it is good!"
Wei Yan sighed in admiration, and said: "This general, please tell the soldiers under his command to let them bare their left arms, lest my soldiers enter the city by mistake and hurt their own family members!"
The deputy general nodded again and again, and then gave the order, and Wei Yan also whispered a few words to a school lieutenant beside him. After the suspension bridge fell, the school lieutenant rushed into the city first, and after a while, there was a cavalry Turning back and confirming that the other side had really surrendered and that there was no ambush in the Wengcheng, Wei Yan was completely relieved and brought the main force into the city.
After passing the Wengcheng, Wei Yan saw several lieutenants who were originally on the top of the city. Without putting on airs, Wei Yan got off his horse very politely and said: "I have ordered someone to inform the Lord of the merits of the generals. In the future, if you are promoted, don't forget Wei ah!"
"How dare, how dare, General Wei is too polite."
"I will need General Wei's support in the future."
……
None of these people dared to trust Wei Yan's polite words. Although Li Yi had a good reputation, his life was at stake, and they were also afraid that Wei Yan would turn his back on him after entering the door.
Wei Yan smiled and said: "Now there is still a great achievement in front of us, I wonder if you are willing to conspire with a certain Wei!"
Several people looked at each other, bowed and said: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"
