Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211

At this time, the sky was approaching noon, and the soldiers were ready to go, so Yuan Xi tentatively organized a siege.

While besieging the city, Yuan Xi also dispatched several soldiers with loud voices, shouting the words agreed in advance into the city non-stop.

He saw that the soldiers were working very hard, so he wondered if he should make a loudspeaker?

In the ancient battlefield, unlike modern times, there are many kinds of auxiliary tools to help, and it is very difficult to command the army.

The so-called command, in simple terms, is the three steps of collecting intelligence to find out the situation on the battlefield, responding in a timely manner, and conveying instructions to soldiers.

These are simple to say, but they are actually quite complicated. The most close to modern times is the second step of decision-making, and the first step of information collection and the third step of order transmission are limited by various conditions, and it is difficult to make decisions in a short period of time. realized in time.

The first step to obtain information and intelligence is basically to rely on cavalry sentry detection, and it needs to be sent back in time after discovering the enemy's situation. I don't know how long it will take. The situation on the battlefield has already changed.

However, Yuan Xi's telescope has extended the range of vision several times, which is equivalent to real-time perception, and has a great advantage in small-scale battles.

But Yuan Xi's telescope has reached its limit at present, and the crystal purely polished by hydraulic engineering can only see several times the distance, which is still blurry.

The third step is to convey the order through the beacon fire, the golden bell, the war drum, and the flag, or the messenger.

The beacon fire requires harsh conditions, the golden drum is easy to be ignored in the noisy environment of the battlefield, and the orderly has too many accidents.

What Yuan Xi needs now is something similar to a telescope that can transmit signals extremely quickly.

Radio is definitely impossible, but something that can barely figure it out has already been tested, and Tian Yu has already brought it here.

It's just that in the current situation, it's not appropriate.

Yuan Xi stood in front of the formation and watched the soldiers charge towards the city wall holding up their shields.

He turned his head, and there was a carriage dozens of steps behind the rear army, inside which Zhen Mi was looking towards the top of the city with a binoculars.

Not long after, Zhen Mi's face turned pale.

Inside the telescope, the reality of the battlefield is so cruel.

Qu Yi, who was beside Yuan Xi, said, "My lord, that's not the case. What's the point of letting women see these things?"

Yuan Xi said: "Women are human beings, there is no reason why they cannot see them."

"I want her to see what these soldiers have done so that she can live a stable life in the city."

On the top of the city, weapons pierced each other's bodies, and blood and internal organs flowed out.

The kerosene ignited the clothes, the skin was discolored and cracked, and the oil in the body fueled the fire.

Limbs were broken by the rolling stone, revealing a section of white stubble, and the blood sprayed from the mouth stained the city wall.

Accompanied by screams of pain resounding through the sky, the wind that blows over is full of burnt smell.

Zhen Mi put down the binoculars, clutched her chest, and was about to vomit. She looked sideways at Cai Zhaoji, who was also holding up the binoculars, and found that the other person's face was quite calm.

Zhen Mi knew that when Cai Zhaoji took Yuan Xi's life, she had witnessed the fight to the death with her own eyes, and she thought to herself that it was no wonder that she could take this scene calmly.

Cao Xian said from the side: "Is it really that scary?"

Zhen Mi sighed: "I really didn't expect the battlefield to look like this."

"You'd better not look at it."

After hearing this, Cao Xian hesitated for a moment, then took the telescope from Cai Zhaoji and put it in front of his eyes.

Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji thought that Cao Xian would be unbearable if he changed soon, but Cao Xian's face changed slightly at first, his hands trembled a few times, and then he returned to normal.

She looked at it for a long time before putting down the binoculars and sighing, "It's really... very miserable."

When Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji met, she felt very surprised, and Zhen Mi couldn't help asking: "Are you not afraid? Did you not feel uncomfortable?"

Cao Xian raised his binoculars to look again, and said: "There are indeed some, but it may be because they are far away. It is far less shocking to me than when the Bian family was wiped out."

Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji looked at each other.

Cao Xian didn't realize it, and said to himself: "At that time, I was staying in the back house with my mother and sister, and I heard a noise outside the gate, and then there were screams everywhere."

"We were panicking when we saw my father ran in with a few servants covered in blood, followed by many soldiers who were like wolves and tigers."

"I still remember my father yelling loudly, let's run."

"Then a very vicious general rushed over with a pair of halberds. With a flash of cold light, my father's neck was cut off, and his head fell off. Gululu rolled in front of my mother and me."

"As my father's head kept turning, the blood in the cavity splashed everywhere, staining the clothes of my mother and me red."

"The head stopped, and my father's eyes were wide open, just staring at me like this. I still remember this scene."

When Zhen Mi and Cai Zhaoji saw Cao Xian say these words, their expressions were calm, and a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Cao Xian put down the binoculars, "I still remember that scene deeply, so the scene at the top of the city now seems a bit ordinary to me."

Cai Zhaoji recalled that her father died in prison, what was the scene before his death?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhen Mi clenched her lips. She understood that she had been well protected and had never experienced the cruelty of the world!

Compared with Cai Zhaoji, whose father was killed and widowed and taken away by the Huns, and Cao Xian, who was forced to confess to killing his father and enemy as his father after his whole family was wiped out, he is the most naive one.

This is the original intention of my husband to let me come, right?
Thinking of this, Zhen Mi raised the binoculars in front of her eyes again, and looked at it with restraint.

However, Yuan Xi found that the soldiers at the head of the enemy's walls were a little weak in resistance.

Have the opportunity!
Originally, his attack was only tentative, but it seemed that the siege effect was very good?

Seeing that Zhao Yun Taishi Ci Tianyu had already entered the battle, he immediately said to Qu Yi: "Brother, please come forward with me!"

After hearing this, Qu Yi laughed and said, "I've been waiting for your son's words for almost two years!"

Yuan Xi sighed: "Yeah, it's been two years. After Liu Bao committed suicide in the battle, we two brothers haven't fought the enemy side by side for a long time!"

Guo Jia wanted to speak out, but seeing Yuan Xi and Qu Yi had already raced out, he couldn't help but shook his head.

The young master is still reluctant to bear the lives of the soldiers. Going into battle in person will definitely greatly boost morale, but it is also dangerous.

Zhen Mi's bare hand holding the binoculars suddenly tightened, and her five fingers turned white instantly.

Cai Zhaoji felt Zhen Mi's nervousness, and comforted her, "It's useless for us to worry now, we can only hope that the young master returns safely."

Zhen Mi clenched her teeth, her heart was beating loudly.

Qu Yi and Yuan Xi rode out on horses, galloped back and forth in front of the city, bent their bows and mounted arrows and shot towards the top of the city.

Yuan Xi shouted loudly: "The fierce tiger of the Yuan family is here!"

"Those on the top of the wall, surrender quickly, and Raoer will not die!"

"If you resist again, when the city is broken, can you think about the end?"

The defenders at the top of the city became even more flustered when they heard this, and they all knelt down and whispered: "That is the fierce tiger of the Yuan family, the son of the Yuan family who defeated General Gongsun!"

"Yes, I heard that he hasn't lost a single game since he came into battle, how can we resist?"

"I heard that he also defeated the Black Mountain Army with dozens of times the strength. Everyone said that he descended from a real person!"

Seeing that the defenders had no fighting spirit, one of the guards, Gongsun Zan, stood on the top of the wall and yelled, "I'll kill anyone who tries to confuse the crowd again!"

"Get up quickly and drive them out of the city!"

While he was speaking, with a whoosh, a cold arrow shot out from the crowd of siege soldiers below the city!
The archer was only a few dozen steps away from the city, not to mention the closeness, the arrow was extremely accurate, right in front of the defender!
With a scream, the guard turned over the top of the wall and fell to his death.

Qu Yi resentfully put down his bow and arrow, he recognized that it was Tai Shici who hid among the siege soldiers and shot it. His archery skills were excellent and he was the leader of Yuan Xi's generals.

Qu Yi thought to himself, why are the people the young master is looking for so powerful? That Tian Yu is also excellent in martial arts. Is this because the young people are so powerful now, or is he really old?

When the guard died, the city was even more flustered. Yuan Xi took the opportunity to shout: "The first to open the city gate will be promoted to three ranks, and everyone else will be rewarded!"

This time the city was in complete chaos, and as the fighting and shouting became louder and louder, the city gate finally opened with a bang.

Seeing Yuan Xi's soldiers, they swarmed in. Yuan Xi shouted: "Do not disturb the people when you enter the city, and you will be rewarded for your merits later!"

Seeing Zhao Yun rushing in on horseback, he was more than half relieved. With his presence, there should be no indiscriminate killing and looting by soldiers.

But to Yuan Xi's surprise, Piaoyuyi was defeated just like that.

Although the city here is not big, there are tens of thousands of people inside. If Yuan Xi wants to defend to the death, he doesn't know how many people will die here.

However, since Gongsun Zan's defeat, the hearts of the people in the city have been dispersed. Everyone knows that the Yuan family will come over sooner or later, and no one thinks that they can hold the city forever.

Gongsun Zan was not good to the people in the first place, and with the salt and iron resources around the city, there were often forces that resisted Gongsun Zan looting, which caused the morale in the city to be even lower.

Today, when Yuan Xi saw the situation on the battlefield, he felt that there was an opportunity, so he went out decisively, used the name of the Yuan family's fierce tiger to intimidate him, and finally made meritorious deeds in one fell swoop.

Only then did Guo Jia gallop up to follow, sighing in his heart, although the name of the Yuan family's ferocious tiger can only scare people who don't know Yuan Xi's real level of force, but Yuan Xi's vision for grasping opportunities is indeed becoming more and more powerful. alright!
Gongsun Zan's remnant army gate knelt on the ground at the city gate, and Yuan Xi was surrounded by soldiers and entered the city gate. When he passed by, the soldiers all shouted.

"Son!"

"Son!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The voice was heard from afar, the three girls in the carriage showed joy, Zhen Mi patted her chest, and wondered if my husband is such a powerful person?
Filled with joy, the bloody and burnt smell that blew in the wind seemed to be less unpleasant.

Soldiers poured into the city, and some retreated, some began to clean the battlefield, and some returned to the camp to prepare for departure.

As the night gradually turned dark, Yuan Xi hurried back from the city and rode up to the carriage of the three women.

He said, "Let's go now."

Zhen Mi's heart tightened, "What happened?"

Yuan Xi laughed, "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered that after we got married, we didn't go out for our honeymoon, so I'll take you to the sea."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi was puzzled, what did she want to do?
