The Three Kingdoms

"Kill it!" In the night illuminated by the flames, Yuan Shao himself stood on a chariot, commanding the soldiers to keep advancing.

"Block it, boys, stop them at all costs!"

Zhang Yan stood proudly at the forefront of the army formation. He knew that this time could only be delaying. As long as the time was delayed, Sun Quan would have the hope of escape. As long as the time was delayed, Zhou Tai would have the hope of breaking the blockade. (to be continued...)

[Text 443 Chapter Zhan Youzhou Sixteen]

Jicheng. △↗ top,

At the East City Gate, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and you can't see your fingers. Above and below the city, there is silence everywhere. The tranquility in the middle of the night reveals doubts.

Since Wu State retreated, the defense here has been somewhat relaxed. In addition, Yan Wang Gongsun Zan suddenly took away most of his troops and went south. The soldiers who continued to guard thought that there should be no attack here.

The [-] soldiers guarding the city took turns to guard them. During the day, they were guarded by [-] soldiers and horses, and at night, they were also guarded by [-] soldiers and horses.

On the city wall, three thousand soldiers patrolled back and forth.

The lieutenant who was on duty at the city guard walked around the city, and there was nothing unusual. He felt a little tired, so he sat directly on a stone at the top of the city to take a rest.

He raised his head, looked at the pitch-black sky, yawned involuntarily, and then said to himself, "I don't know how long this battle will last?"

Facing the two great powers, few people in the city had confidence in this battle, and the army's morale became panicked. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan's presence, they might have already collapsed.

It was Wu's retreat that restored the confidence of the soldiers.

Yu Cheng sighed, and said to himself a little naturally: "I hope this battle will end soon!"

Jicheng has been surrounded on all sides. Even if Wu has retreated, it is hard to say how long they can resist Jin's attack. Even the upper echelon of Yan has no confidence.

He, a school lieutenant who guards the city, is worried.

"If Jicheng is destroyed, will the people of Jin be murdered by soldiers?"

"Nowadays there is a shortage of food in the city, and the people can't afford to eat. How long can we resist?"

"It would be great if the king could surrender!"

Yucheng is in his thirties this year, a native of Jicheng, and has served under the command of Gongsun Zan for three years.For Gongsun Zan, who has become more and more decadent in recent years, he is not very loyal.

His eyes looked at the pitch-black sky, and the thoughts in his heart became more and more chaotic.

"Master Lieutenant, do you think ours can hold Jicheng?" At this time, a military marquis who was patrolling past commanded his soldiers to continue patrolling, and then put his ass on the side of the city.Thieves asked.

"how could I know?"

Yu Cheng raised his head, looked at his subordinates, shook his head, and said with obvious pessimism: "Even if we can resist this time, we may not be able to defend the Yan Kingdom. Wu and Jin are both powerful princes. We Yan Kingdom is too weak!"

"I heard that the country of Wu is very rich!"

When the military marquis heard about Wu Guo, his eyes were shining brightly, and he said with some longing.

these years.Youzhou is connected to Jiangdong Sea Road, so people come and go, so there are more contacts. Jiangdong is rich, the place is good, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is a place that most people in Youzhou yearn for.

"I also heard that Jiangdong's life is good!"

"And the soldiers who died in battle have high pensions!"

At this time, several military marquis were also a little chattered by the loneliness of the night, so they came together.Start talking in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Yu Cheng nodded.He looked around, it was quiet, there was obviously no danger, and he relaxed a lot, and started to blow to several military officers, "It would be great if we didn't fight with Wu. Jiangdong is rich, and through the port , can make Youzhou rich. Youzhou and Jicheng have been able to develop these years, relying on Wu State to open the port. A few years ago, my father-in-law went to Jiangdong, bought a ship, and started a freight business , but now, it’s gone!”

"pity!"

"It would be great if there was a truce!"

"The state of Wu is too powerful. The previous few sieges almost didn't kill me. I really don't want to fight them!"

Several military officers sighed inwardly. In fact, they were not confident enough to face the defenders. They were all restless, and they really didn't have much confidence in Yan Guo.

Several generals lingered around Lao Dacheng, sat on the top of the city, and began to linger around the state of Wu, bragging for a while, talking, Yucheng looked around vigilantly, and suddenly realized that the surroundings were obviously a little overwhelmed. It became silent, as if there were a lot less footsteps

"Where are our people?"

Yu Cheng stood up suddenly, his eyes swept over sharply like a goshawk, and found that many soldiers who were obviously training had disappeared, panicked in his heart, and quickly shouted: "No, call all the soldiers to go to the city Heads, count heads!"

"There are enemies?"

Several military lords also realized that they really wanted to beat the drums and gather the generals.

"You better not move!"

Suddenly, a spear came out from the darkness, and it was lightly placed on Yu Cheng's neck. A big man walked out and said coldly, "Surrender, or die?"

"Surrender or die?"

On the top of the city, hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared, and each of them took control of this group of military lords with a murderous look. They killed them all, but the soldiers defending the city, who were also alarmed, surrounded them one by one.

"We surrender!"

At this moment, Yu Cheng felt a chill in his heart. He felt that the spear blade on his neck was about to cut his skin, so he cried out hastily.

"very good!"

Gao Shun's cold face revealed a look of satisfaction, and said: "Let them put down their weapons and stand with their heads in their arms!"

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Yu Cheng said to his soldiers, "Put down your weapons and stand with your head in your arms!"

"Master Captain, we cannot surrender!"

A military officer seemed more staunch, pointed at Gao Shun and the others with a spear in his hand, and said coldly.

Chi!

A strong man in the camp came out with a knife and chopped off the officer's head. His blood flowed three feet, and he said coldly: "If you don't surrender, you will be pardoned!"

"Surrender, we surrender!" Seeing this scene, Yu Cheng was a little terrified, and hurriedly said, and immediately commanded his loyal princes to let the soldiers of the Yan army put down their weapons.

After Gao Shun took control of the Yan army at the top of the city, he immediately shouted coldly at the soldiers under his command: "Gao Yi, take it in and lift up the thousand-jin gate, and then open the city gate to welcome the princes into the city!"

"promise!"

A trapping general.Obeying the order, he immediately led hundreds of soldiers, and immediately walked to the Weng Tower on the left, and began to winch the winch, and twisted the jack gate of the city gate.

"A certain family asked you, how many soldiers are there on the city wall?" Gao Shun looked at Yu Cheng.asked coldly.

"There are [-] soldiers on the city wall, a certain family has [-] soldiers, and a lieutenant brought [-] soldiers. Those who are currently resting under the city can arrive in half a quarter with the sound of drums and gongs!" At this moment in Yucheng, some Terrified, I dare not hide anything.
