"Our Zhen family..."
After hearing this, Zhen Mi shook Zhang Shi's hand and smiled slightly: "Mother, when you listen to rumors, you can't just listen to one person, and it's even more impossible to only listen to one side."
"According to what my daughter heard, Qin Wu is the one who destroys the clans and powerful landlords, but he targets those who do evil to the common people."
"Our Zhen family started our business by doing business. We have a good reputation and have no evil intentions of oppressing the people."
"Therefore, my daughter believes that even if Qin Wu conquered Yecheng, he would definitely not kill our Zhen family without asking whether it was right or wrong."
Mrs. Zhang was dubious and asked, "Mi Er, is that really the case?"
Zhen Mi smiled and said: "The reason why Qin Wu is such a common people is because he has the world in his heart and his ambition is everywhere. Why do you deliberately make things difficult for our Zhen family?"
"Besides, after Qin Wu breaks the city, our Zhen family can take the initiative to provide money and food for the Qin army."
"The so-called reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces, mother, think, will Qin Wu deliberately target our Zhen family again?"
Hearing what Zhen Mi said made sense, Mrs. Zhang didn't panic much anymore.
At this moment, Zhen Yan, Zhang's second son, hurried in and said out of breath, "Mother, something is wrong."
"Because the Qin army attacked the city, Master Yuan has ordered to close the four city gates, so we can't get out."
"My boy also wanted to bribe the general guarding the gate with money, but the general guarding the gate said that Mr. Yuan is searching for traitors."
"If it wasn't for the fact that the boy had some friendship with the gatekeeper general, I'm afraid he would be arrested as a traitor."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand: "Mi'er analyzed the situation just now, and we don't need to leave Yecheng for the time being."
"Yan'er, I've given this place to you, let them restore everything to its original position."
"I'm tired, I have to go back to my room and rest for a while."
Watching Mrs. Zhang leave, Zhen Yan immediately asked Zhen Mi: "Mi Er, what did you tell your mother?"
your mother?
Mrs. Zhang is Zhen Yi's successor, and Mrs. Zhang's only biological parents are the fourth son Zhen Rong and the fifth son Zhen Mi.
The rest, Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, were all born to Zhen Yi's former wives and concubines.
Zhen Mi blinked at Zhen Yan: "Second brother finishes his work first, and I'll tell you later."
After finishing speaking, Zhen Mi also turned and left.
Zhen Yan had no choice but to take over the mess and start directing his servants.
Chapter 168 Never retreat, I want to fight to the death with Qin Jun
Yecheng.
East Gate.
Under Bai Qi's command, the Qin army launched a fierce offensive against Yecheng.
Definitely not a feint, but a real siege.
Shuashuashua, groups of shield soldiers of the Qin army walked forward holding huge shields.
Behind, followed by teams of archers.
After entering the range, the shield soldiers formed a defensive and powerful shield formation.
The archers began to shoot arrows towards the city.
The same is true on the top of the city.
The shield soldiers are in front and the archers are in the back.
The two sides fired at each other for a while, but they didn't get much bargain.
Then, the Qin army's archers retreated and replaced them with crossbowmen.
In this way, Qin Jun's attack became fierce.
The Qin crossbow modified by Huang Yueying is not only shorter, but also stronger, almost able to pierce through ordinary wooden shields.
The Qin army's crossbow arrows were several times denser and their attack power was stronger. Yuan Shao soon couldn't bear it anymore, and the casualties began to increase.
With the cooperation of the crossbowmen, the infantry of the Qin army began to carry the ladders and ran towards the city wall at a brisk pace.
A huge door-ramming car, covered with a thick layer of fireproof blanket, was pushed by Qin Jun towards the east gate.
With a "bang", the door-ramming car slammed into the city gate hard, causing the city gate to tremble.
Behind the city gate, there are five huge door bolts.
There are also seven or eight strong Yuan Jun, with their backs leaning on the city gate, their feet on the ground, pushing the city gate.
The ladders were also erected one by one, and immediately there were soldiers climbing up the ladders.
The Qin army's offensive was far more than that.
One by one, the soldiers, carrying bags one by one, quickly came to the moat and threw the bags into the river.
This is to fill in a path on the moat.
It doesn't need to be wide, it just needs to be able to push the building car over.
The tower car was built according to the height of the city of Yecheng. Once the tower car was pushed to the city wall, the Qin army on the tower car could jump to the top of the city.
Then, the Qin army under the building car will also climb up the building car and jump to the top of the city in an endless stream.
Originally, the best way to deal with building vehicles was bows and arrows, especially rockets.
However, Yuan Jun at the head of the city was suppressed by Yingwu's crossbowmen.
As long as Yuan Jun shows up, he will die in the rain of arrows immediately.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Chunyu Qiong hastily ordered to use the catapult.
Seeing the situation at the head of the city, Bai Qi also ordered decisively, and the formation dispersed.
At the same time, Qin Jun's catapult cart was also pushed out.
Qin Jun can spread out, but Yuan Jun at the top of the city can't.
Moreover, Qin Jun's catapult vehicle was improved by Huang Yueying, using the spring principle, not only has a long range, but also the frequency of projectiles is not comparable to that of Yuan Jun.
After a while, Yuan Jun's catapult was smashed by Qin Jun's catapult.
Moreover, under the attack of Qin Jun's catapult, Yuan Jun began to suffer heavy casualties.
Chunyu Qiong was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, Zhang He suggested to Chunyu Qiong: "General Chunyu, quickly order to gather all the commanders and team leaders and prepare to defend the city in close combat."
"Otherwise, once the Qin army gains a firm foothold at the top of the city, Yecheng will be over."
Chun Yuxiong suddenly realized, and hurriedly gave the order according to Zhang He's intention.
What Zhang He meant was obvious.
Qin Jun's fierce offensive has only one purpose, which is to let Qin Jun climb to the top of the city and fight Yuan Jun in close combat.
Once more and more Qin troops reached the top of the city, Yecheng would not be able to hold it.
Shi Changhe's martial arts skills are superb, and his melee combat ability is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, it is definitely the most correct way for Yuan Jun to gather the commanders and team rates and defend the city in close combat.
Sure enough, Qin Jun quickly boarded the top of the city and started close combat with Yuan Jun.
In this way, Qin Jun's catapults and crossbowmen were all useless, and they retreated respectively.
Bai Qi immediately gave an order, and more and more Qin troops rushed down the city.
Yuan Jun at the top of the city found a chance to fight back and started shooting arrows at the Qin army outside the city, or throwing logs, boulders and so on.
However, with more and more Qin troops at the head of the city, Yuan Jun's lethality to the Qin troops outside the city became smaller and smaller.
The battle for the East City was extremely fierce.
As for the west gate, Lu Kuang also started to act.
Brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang each have 2000 troops under their command.
Lu Xiang was a hostage in the Qin army, and the 4000 troops were led by Lu Kuang alone.
Lu Kuang led his troops to the west gate and handed over Yuan Shao's military order.
The gate guard looked at the military order and frowned slightly: "General Lu, my lord ordered you to lead two thousand troops out of the city, why did you bring four thousand?"
"My lord's military order is here, and the last general dare not disobey it. I ask General Lu to send half of the troops away."
After hearing this, Lu Kuang flicked the spear in his hand without saying a word, and directly killed the city gate guard.
"Kill and scatter the defenders, open the city gates, and welcome the Qin army into the city." Lu Kuang shouted loudly, his spears flew, and several city gate defenders died under his guns.
Lu Kuang suddenly launched an attack, and the guards at the city gate were naturally caught off guard and were quickly killed.
Four thousand soldiers and horses seized the city gate, and there was a general like Lu Kuang, and he killed the gate guard first, so it was naturally very easy.
After a while, the gate of the city was opened, and Lu Kuang immediately boarded the top of the city to send a signal to the Qin army.
When Wang Jian saw the signal, he immediately lifted his spirits and waved his right hand: "Let's go."
"The last general obeys orders." Wang Ben responded, and with [-] soldiers and horses, he went straight to the west gate.
These ten thousand soldiers and horses are naturally tentative.
After a while, Wang Ben sent out the signal, Wang Jian was overjoyed, and immediately led the remaining [-] troops to kill the west gate.
There were only 1 defenders at the west gate, so naturally they couldn't withstand Wang Jian's [-] troops.
The west gate fell.
Wang Jian left Cao Cao and Lu Kuang with [-] soldiers and horses to guard the west gate. He and Wang Ben each led [-] soldiers and horses to take the south gate and the north gate respectively.
Soon, the news of the fall of the west city gate reached Yuan Shao's ears in the State Shepherd's Mansion.
Brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang defected to the Qin army, and cooperated with each other from inside and outside to help the Qin army take the west gate of Yecheng.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked Yuan Shao extremely.
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered the matter of letting Lu Kuang go out of the city to attack the camp of the Qin army, and couldn't help feeling regretful: "I knew that Lu Kuang was suspicious, so I shouldn't have sent him."
Yuan Tan said hastily: "Father, since the west city gate has been breached by the Qin army, the city of Ye cannot be defended. Father should leave Ye city immediately and go to Bingzhou to rectify the troops and horses, and then fight the Qin army in a decisive battle."
For the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, Yuan Tan absolutely couldn't understand it all too well, and he was even more afraid of confronting the Qin army at close quarters.
Qin Jun left Yuan Tan with the impression that everyone was not a human being, but a devil, a lifeless devil.
"No..." Yuan Shao was as angry as a bullfighting bull, pulled out the sword from his waist, and roared, "I must not retreat, I want to fight Qin Wu to the death."
Yuan Tan hurriedly persuaded again: "Father can't do it."
"The Qin army is stronger than our army, and their strength is equal. Our army is absolutely no match."
"Furthermore, if we don't retreat at this moment, once the south gate and north gate fall into the hands of the Qin army, we may still be able to fight to the death."
"But what about mother and younger brother, aren't they going to become Qin Wu's prisoners?"
Chapter 169
Yuan Tan is very good at grasping Yuan Shao's mind, knowing what Yuan Shao cares most about.
Sure enough, after hearing Yuan Tan's words, Yuan Shao's movements stopped immediately, and the flesh on his right cheek trembled a few times.
Yuan Shao does not intend to repeat the mistakes of Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.
Yingwu is famous for being a good wife and daughter.
Especially Yuan Shu, not only Feng Shi and Yuan Ying were captured by Yingwu, but he was eunuched by Yingwu and stayed by his side as a eunuch.
In case he was caught by Yingwu and castrated, Yuan Shao would rather die.
After calming down, Yuan Shao immediately shouted: "Xiansi, hurry to the east gate and inform Chunyuqiong to lead his army to escort us away."
"Baby obey." Yuan Tan also breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily sent the order.
He had fallen into Yingwu's hands before, suffered a lot, and knew that Yingwu was a ruthless person, so naturally he didn't want to fall into Yingwu's hands again.
Yuan Tan hastily went to notify Chunyu Qiong, and Yuan Shao also hurriedly ordered his wife, Mrs. Liu, to start packing.
