Step on a branch

Chapter 320 Xizhou City, Dropped

Yu Bo had seen the matter of Ying Xiao in history books.

Analyzing the reasons with the veteran generals, there are opinions from all sides, but there is one thing that is unified.

Camp screams come from stress.

The discipline in the army is strict, especially for ordinary soldiers, joining the army is by no means an easy task.

If there is no war, or when the battle is going well, everyone is in a stable mood, but once the battle is not going well, everyone will feel heavy pressure.

Just like Yu Bai himself, who has been tossing and turning sleeplessly these past few nights, how many of the soldiers below can sleep soundly?
The pressure is accumulated in the heart, or because of lightning strikes, or because of nightmares, emotions burst out all of a sudden, unable to distinguish the situation, afraid and nervous, so that there are enemies around, and they raise their weapons.

One person is "crazy", and soon everyone will be "crazy".

This is Ying Xiao.

Uncommon, but when it happens, it hits hard.

Yu Bai had imagined all kinds of difficult situations in defending the city this time, but he just didn't expect that there would be a "battle roar" under his command.

"Stop," Yu Bai shouted, "There are no Zhou people, and the Zhou people have not entered the city!"

However, no matter how he shouted, the soldiers who were shrouded in fear couldn't hear him at all.

Yu Bai had no choice but to say: "Go and call people, call all the people who are still awake, and quickly control the situation."

If you don't control it, this barracks will be finished by yourself.

The fire must also be extinguished.

Can't burn anymore.

Right now, it can only be said that Ying Xiao happened in this place, and it is lucky that it has not spread and affected the entire city.

If he really dragged the entire common people into the camp, then he really...

At a high place in the north outside the city, the pills brought by Qin Luan had already been burned.

The wind is still blowing.

Because of the upwind direction, they could hardly hear the sound of drums and horns. It can only be inferred from the time that the army is also in full swing to follow the plan.

What they could see was that the city walls of Xizhou seemed to be in chaos.

The brazier was still burning, but the night watch soldiers held torches and ran back and forth, looking impatient and disorganized.

Lin Fan saw it, and said to Qin Luan, "Something must have happened in the city."

Qin Luan smiled and said: "It's good that something happened, it shows that our hard work was not in vain this night."

The rest of the people were also observing the distance for a moment. Could it be because of the spices lit by Miss Qin?

That fragrance, is it really that powerful?

After observing for a while, the group of them mounted their horses again and returned the same way.

On the other side, Mao Gu'an beat the war drum himself.

Of course, he also saw the chaos on the city wall of Xizhou, and suddenly, his hands became more vigorous.

The drum skin was beating loudly by him, he stopped and rubbed his ears.

"General Yu," Mao Gu'an let go of his voice and shouted, "why don't you come and fight me?"

How could Yu Bai have time to pay attention to him.

The soldiers on the city wall who heard it didn't bother to convey the provocation to Yu Bai, they couldn't care less about themselves.

The dark night will eventually pass, and when the white belly is exposed in the east, General Mao and the others can clearly see that there are several black smoke burning in the northeast corner of Xizhou City.

Liu Ben took a breath: "Did they run out of water in the city?"

General Mao laughed loudly, and shouted again: "General Yu, the fire didn't burn the granary, did it? There are so many people who want to eat, so don't go hungry! I really can't eat, open the city gate quickly, we have food, we won't go hungry captive."

Don't worry about the voice, General Mao can be said to be thinking of what to shout, and he is full of interest.

After sending Qin Luan back to the station, Lin Fan also arrived and looked at Xizhou City.

Liu Ben came over and asked, "Are you all going well?"

"Very well," Lin Fan replied, "How are you doing?"

Liu Ben pointed to Mao Gu'an, and replied, "It went well, too."

Lin Fan followed and looked at General Mao standing on the drum stand, and laughed out loud.

Liu Ben pointed to the black smoke again: "It should be on fire."

Lin Fan muttered: "I'm having a nightmare, I'm confused, did I set myself on fire?"

"You can't tell," Liu Ben said cheerfully, "Yu Bai must be in a state of desperation right now."

Yu Bai's face was dusty and he was in a state of embarrassment.

It wasn't until the sky became brighter that Ying Xiao's situation was completely controlled, leaving him with countless soldiers killed and injured.

Outside the barracks, the people became more and more worried.

They couldn't say "Ying Xiao" exactly, but everyone knew that there was an accident in the barracks last night, there were fights and internal fights.

Why did the defenders fight themselves when the soldiers were approaching the city?

Yu Bai managed to stabilize the situation, walked up to the city wall, and looked at the Zhou army not far away.

On that side, the soldiers laughed wantonly, and Mao Gu'an yelled a word or two from time to time, taking advantage of their desperation.

Several lieutenants surrounded him and looked at Yu Bai in embarrassment.

Yu Bai waved his hands, didn't listen to what they said, and sat down on the city wall in a slumped manner.

Almost instantly, the words in Li Jie's persuading letter to surrender naturally appeared in his mind.

He read that letter over and over again so many times that he memorized it without knowing it.

Yu Bai closed his eyes.

Just like in a dream, he saw Li Jie.

Standing in front of him, Li Jie didn't ask him why he didn't surrender as in the dream, but just read the letter of persuasion.

Every word is sincere, every sentence is sincere.

Yu Bai's eye sockets were wet.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again and wiped his face heavily.

The soldiers around him were full of worries, and they all looked like they wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how to persuade him.

Yu Bo sighed, "Blame me, if I had surrendered earlier, there wouldn't have been a battalion roar."

"You can't say that," one person hurriedly said, "You are the guard, how could you easily choose to surrender for the sake of Great Liang?"

"Knowing that the imperial court abandoned Xizhou City, but still sticking to it," Yu Bai cried, "I am sorry for my so-called loyalty, but I am sorry for the soldiers who were killed and injured last night."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.

Yu Bai didn't hold back his tears, but stood up unsteadily.

Surrender, only two words, is difficult to write, and even more difficult to do.

What kind of grief and indignation Li Jie felt when he wrote the letter is even more so than that of Yu Bai at this moment.

Turning around, he looked at the Great Liang flag with tears in his eyes, walked up to it, stroked it reluctantly, and pulled it down with his own hands.

"General Yu!"

Holding the banner in his arms, Yu Bo took two steps back and said, "Don't worry about me jumping, I won't jump."

The deputy general burst into tears when he heard this.

The defender died in the city, and he died a hundred times. The difficulty is to survive and firmly resist the responsibility of surrendering on his shoulders.

Yu Bai said again: "Pull them all down, go get the white flag, open the city gate, and let the Zhou people enter the city."

In the distance, Lin Fan watched without blinking.

He saw with his own eyes that the Great Liang flags were taken down and replaced by a waving white flag.

Soon, the city gates of Xizhou opened wide.

Yu Bai was the first to come out of the city, and led his lieutenants and soldiers to a place one mile away from the Great Zhou army formation.

Bow down.

Xizhou City, surrendered.
