Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 158

Early the next morning, the final decisive battle between the two sides began.

After days of unsuccessful siege, Xu Huang and his soldiers have become numb and turned into emotionless siege machines.

Xu Huang drew out his sword mechanically and pointed forward mechanically. The invisible antenna above the soldiers received the signal and began to mechanically advance down the city.

Yuan Ke leaned on the city wall with a golden knife in his hand, and commanded the soldiers who were holding back their last energy to fight back.

Perhaps feeling the harbinger of the approaching death, the soldiers became even more indifferent to life and death. Some people continued to pounce on the enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall with their bodies, and rolled down the mountain of corpses with them.

What's more, someone used a torch to ignite the tung oil poured on his body, and hugged the enemy in front of him tightly.Amidst the creepy screams, several bodies covered in fire wrestled and rolled down the city.

Tian Feng, Jiang Qi, Wu Yueyin, Zhen Mi and others all wear white belts on their heads and plain clothes, with the ambition to die.As long as the city of Xu Capital is destroyed, they will immediately commit suicide and die in the city.

And at this moment, they didn't have to wait too long.

At noon, the defense of Dongcheng completely collapsed, and Cao Jun rushed up the city wall like a tide!
Holding a long knife in his hand, Yuan Ke, together with Yan Liang and others, fought with the invading enemy on the city wall.As the number of enemy soldiers who climbed first increased, it seemed that there was only a dead end waiting for them.

"Damn it," Yuan Ke scolded with a wry smile, "I've tried all the tricks, I didn't expect to die here!"

At this moment, bursts of sharp noises came into his ears.

when!when!when!
It was the voice of Mingjin[1].

Yuan Ke felt strange in his heart, is it possible that Xu Huang is going to call for gold and withdraw when he has the upper hand?
Not only did he find it strange, but even Xu Huang's soldiers also felt strange.It didn't take much effort for them to attack the city, but at this moment, the commander ordered them to retreat. Are they going to retreat?

Regardless of their final decision, the battlefield is not a place to be distracted.Although they were only distracted for a moment, it was enough to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

"The enemy army is about to retreat, everyone rush!" Yuan Ke shouted with a flash of inspiration.

When the guards heard the news, their morale was immediately boosted, and all of them were red-eyed.Cao Bing retreated steadily and was driven off the city wall!

Now, it's no longer possible to disobey the military order.

I don't know who took the lead, but all the Cao soldiers turned around and fled.The defenders pursued all the way and captured countless corpses!

Under Yuan Ke's elation, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and even his illness was more than half healed.He strode up to the top of the city, and found that the people behind Xu Huang's army were on their backs, and the dust was billowing. There should be quite a commotion.

Could it be that reinforcements from Hebei have arrived?

Yuan Ke was thinking about it when he saw dozens of cavalry rushing out of Xu Huang's camp.The leading member is tall and tall, with eyes like copper bells, isn't it Zhang Baiqi?
"It's Brother Zhang!" Yuan Ke jumped up happily, "Brother Zhang is here to help us, open the city gate!"

Zhang Baiqi ran into the door in one breath, almost bumping into Yuan Ke who had just run down from the tower.

"Zhang Baiqi is late, please punish me!" Zhang Baiqi shouted with his big eyes flashing.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Yuan Ke pulled him up and asked, "Tell me what's going on!"

Zhang Baiqi said: "It's been a long time. Since I separated from the young master last time, I first settled down the villagers and then went to Baima to look for you, but you were no longer there. Later I searched for many I didn’t know that you had arrived in Xudu until I met General Wen Chou. I hurried to Xudu. As soon as I arrived nearby, I heard that Cao Ren and Xu Huang were attacking the city and you were defending the city. I don’t know how to respond I just wanted to help you beat them back first. Just now, when I saw the situation was critical, I ordered my brothers to ring the gong, trying to trick them into retreating. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang's entire army was in chaos. gone."

Yuan Ke listened to him carefully, and bowed respectfully to him.

"Oh, my lord!" Zhang Baiqi hurriedly waved his hands, "I can't afford it!"

"No, you deserve it!" Yuan Ke said loudly, "If you can keep it, you should remember it! Do you think so?"

Amidst the chorus of shouts and tsunami, only one person said unconvinced: "I would like to behead Xu Huang and dedicate it to Your Highness!"

The person who spoke was Yan Liang.

"General Yan, don't do it!" Tian Feng knew Yan Liang's arrogance very well, and he was afraid that he would let go, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "Although the enemy army is retreating, they are still several times stronger than me, so they must not pursue them!"

The melon-eating people in the city were immersed in the great excitement of the rest of their life after the catastrophe. When they heard Yan Liang's words, they immediately threw themselves into this new discussion with enthusiasm.The vast majority of them thought that Yan Liang was jealous of Zhang Baiqi's great achievements, so they were sensational, and they became rude in speaking:

"What is the background of this person, and he can be so capable?"

"Hey, bragging, you really believe it!"

"The way I see it, he's just jealous of that Great Xia Zhang's unrivaled feats, so he's doing nothing here."

At this moment, Yan Liang, who was originally high-spirited, couldn't sit still, so he had to look at Yuan Ke for help.

Of course Yuan Ke knew that although Yan Liang had undue courage, his knee had been injured after all, and he was not sure whether he could kill on the battlefield like before.

However, the current situation left him with no good choices.If he didn't let Yan Liang go, then Yan Liang, who was struggling to prove himself again, would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone, which would be a great blow to his dignity and self-confidence.

Once a hero loses his self-confidence, he is no longer a hero, but an ordinary person.

Thinking of this, he broke his heart and said loudly: "Yan Liang listens!"

Yan Liang knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Here!"

"I order you to lead a hundred fine cavalry, and go out of the city to kill Xu Huang's son!" Yuan Ke said loudly.

Yan Liang accepted the order generously, picked up the long pole and heavy axe, got on his horse, and said to him, "Where are the cavalry?"

After a long time, Tian Feng said: "General Yan, counting the dozens of people brought by Daxia Zhang just now, there are not enough cavalry in the city..."

"I can go out alone, why do I need cavalry to accompany me!" Yan Liang said confidently.

But Tian Feng's words hit Yuan Ke's heart. He said: "It's not impossible for one person to ride a horse, but it's too risky. Cao Ren and Xu Huang are just ordinary people. How can I let a general die for their worthless heads?" ? Brother, I understand how you feel, if you trust me, don't be impatient, I will create a chance for you to kill him tomorrow!"
