Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 85 Yanmen Zhang Wenyuan, I have been waiting for you here for a long time! (Thanks to yuebanzi258 for the monthly ticket support~)

When Liang Gang on the city wall heard the siege horn, his face suddenly changed!
But to his surprise, the enemy soldiers did not really come to attack the city as he had imagined, but continued to set up camp on their own.

Listening to Wei Yan's laughter and ridicule, Liang Gang's forehead veins bulged, but he tried hard to keep himself calm!

He couldn't be like Yuan Yin, who was easily provoked by the enemy.

For the next period of time, Wei Yan's army would blow the attack horn every once in a while.

Every time the horn sounded, Liang Gang and his soldiers felt their scalps tingling!
Even though I knew the other side wouldn't really attack the city, I still felt nervous.

This situation continued until dark.

Wei Yan led his men to cook in a swaggering manner.

The soldiers were talking and laughing, as if they were not afraid at all that they would suddenly leave the city to attack.

Seeing the enemy army so relaxed, Liang Gang couldn't help but feel the urge to attack outside the city.

But he knew very well that the enemy must have done this on purpose.

Attacking the city now would be exactly what the enemy wants!

So he restrained his impulse again and again.

Before I knew it, it had gotten completely dark.

On a rainy night, there is no moon or stars in the sky, and the whole earth looks exceptionally dark.

Even though there were countless torches placed around the city walls, they were unable to illuminate a large area.

Wei Yan's army's siege horns had been blowing for a whole day and finally stopped at this moment.

The soldiers on the city wall were exhausted.

Except for a few patrol teams, everyone else was sitting against the wall, cuddling their weapons and falling asleep.

On the other hand, the candlelight of Wei Yan's army was dim, and the snoring could be faintly heard even from a long distance.

Liang Gang was also leaning against the wall at this moment, but he did not dare to relax too much, for fear that the other party would attack at any time.

It was not until the second half of the night that his eyelids finally couldn't hold up anymore and closed unconsciously.

At this moment, in the camp of Wei Yan’s army.

Pairs of black eyes were staring at the people on the city wall.

The soldiers patrolling back and forth yawned from time to time, looking like they might fall asleep at any time.

On the other hand, the soldiers around Wei Yan were all in high spirits and ready to go!
Obviously they were really resting during the day and were not under as much psychological pressure as the defenders.

Wei Yan curled his lips and waved his hand.

He quietly led his soldiers carrying ladders, trenches and other siege equipment, and quickly and quietly approached the city wall.

By the time the soldiers on the city wall noticed something, a large number of soldiers had already crossed the moat and arrived under the city wall!

The soldiers guarding the city were frightened awake in an instant and quickly rang the alarm!
The other half-asleep soldiers hurriedly got up from the ground to meet the enemy.

The defending general Liang Gang was also awakened from his drowsiness. Regardless of the pain in his head, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to defend the city.

However, at this time, a series of ladders had been set up steadily.

The speed at which the attacking soldiers climbed the tower far exceeded the defensive efficiency of the defending soldiers!
Moreover, the soldiers defending the city did not get enough rest.

After the initial adrenaline wore off, fatigue set in.

On the other hand, the attacking soldiers were as swift as tigers, charging towards the city wall fearlessly!

Seeing more and more soldiers climbing up the city wall, Liang Gang realized that the city could no longer be defended.

He hurriedly led the soldiers to withdraw from the city wall and quickly returned to the prefectural government to meet Yuan Yin, who was still confused.

Yuan Yin asked in panic:

"What happened? How did the city get breached so quickly? Didn't you say you could hold it?"

Liang Gang was in no mood to pay attention to Yuan Yin's questions.

He took a few hundred soldiers to open the East Gate where the enemy troops were relatively the least, and forced his way out!
To Liang Gang and Yuan Yin's surprise, the enemy troops at the East Gate were not as strong as they had imagined. They were actually killed by them!
After leaving the city, they rushed all the way to Ruyin County, attempting to join up with Ji Ling's army there.

Wei Yan stood on the city wall, looking at Yuan Yin and others who were fleeing quickly. He did not order a pursuit, but instead a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

After Liang Gang, Yuan Yin and others ran desperately for dozens of miles, they found that there were no pursuers behind them.

Liang Gang looked at the only two or three hundred soldiers left around him and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he failed to defend the city, at least he brought Yuan Yin out, so he could be considered to have accomplished his mission.

At this time, Liang Gang saw a locust tree forest not far ahead and said to Yuan Yin:

"Master, the enemy shouldn't be chasing us for the time being. Let's go to the forest and take a rest."

Yuan Yin responded and followed the crowd into the locust tree forest.

However, at this moment, a cannon suddenly sounded in the forest!
A large number of soldiers suddenly rushed out of the forest and surrounded Yuan Yin, Liang Gang and others!

A sturdy general rode out on his horse and smiled at Yuan Yin and the others:
"Zhang Wenyuan of Yanmen, I have been waiting for you here for a long time! If you surrender quickly, you can avoid death."

Yuan Yin was frightened by the sudden ambush and his face turned pale, and Liang Gang was also stunned.

He had never expected that the Wei Yan army attacking the city was not even its full strength.

Do they even have extra troops to ambush them here?

No wonder the enemy troops at the East Gate seemed to be the smallest in number. It turned out that they were deliberately lured here.

We must use the ambush troops here to catch them all in one fell swoop!
Liang Gang glanced at Yuan Yin, and Yuan Yin also looked at him, and they both sighed deeply.

Now they are exhausted and have no ability to fight.
What's more, the enemy general is the prestigious Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. Even if they put up a desperate resistance, there will be no good result.

Yuan Yin was the first to kneel down in front of Zhang Liao. Seeing this, the others also dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Zhang Liao ordered his men to tie up all the captives and take them back to Pingyu County.

……

Shouchun City.

When all the soldiers at the South Gate and West Gate were opened by Lu Meng and others, Lu Bu's 30,000 troops all rushed into the city.

At the same time, Lu Bu also led 5,000 soldiers and horses into the palace.

Although without the Red Hare and the Fang Tian Hua Ji, his fighting power was greatly weakened.

But he is still unstoppable!

At the gate of the main hall of the imperial palace, Lu Bu saw a thousand men led by Zhang Xun standing ready for battle.

He did not attack immediately in case there was a trap in this last line of defense.

He pointed his iron halberd at Zhang Xun and shouted:

"You are already doomed, why do you still want to resist?"

At this moment, Zhang Xun was also in deep pain.

He originally planned to gather the remaining troops and fight his way out to escort Yuan Shu to escape.

But no one expected that Lu Bu would personally lead the army into the palace.

If it were any other general, he would have the confidence to charge forward.

The only thing was that he had no confidence in leading Yuan Shu to fight against the enemy while protecting him from getting hurt, even though he was the most powerful general in the world.

Seeing that Lü Bu did not dare to step forward immediately, he could only try his best to save Yuan Shu's life:

"Marquis Wen is a brave man, and I have heard of him like thunder! But if I wait for a fight to the death, you will also suffer heavy losses.

"But if you are willing to spare my master's life, I will lead my army to surrender immediately!"
