The screams came one after another.

Many people were directly smashed into pulp by the boulders thrown by the Thunderbolt Car!
The catapult and arrow tower were hit by boulders and were knocked over!
On the chariot behind Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others looked at this scene, and all of them breathed a little faster.

Although they have already heard about the power of the Thunderbolt Car.

But this was the first time they met.

Such power, much more powerful than a catapult!
However, they have already been mentally prepared for this.

Yuan Shao immediately said: "Bang the drum and cheer!"

Several soldiers jumped on the drum stand, picked up the drumsticks, and beat the war drums vigorously.

The deafening sound of war drums and the sound of fighting complement each other.

Countless Yuan Shao soldiers seemed to have been given a shot of blood, speeding up, risking being hit by boulders thrown by thunderbolt chariots, surging across the moat like a tide, rushing to the bottom of the city, and setting up the siege ladder.

On the city wall, the Jiangdong defenders were already ready to attack.

When these Yuan Shao soldiers were less than a hundred steps away from the city, the archers on the city wall started shooting arrows.

Arrows rained down on the attacking army below, and soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood.

However, with the encouragement of war drums, Yuan Shao's soldiers rushed forward without fear of death, rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and climbed up the siege ladder.

The archers on the wall quickly retreated.

Thousands of soldiers carried the hot golden juice and fell on their heads!

Yuan Shao's generals who had just climbed up to the siege ladder were poured with hot golden juice. Each one of them wailed and fell down with bared teeth and claws, hitting the soldiers below.

However, more Yuan Shao soldiers climbed up again.

Following the golden juice are huge rocks.

Rows of strong elites held huge rocks and smashed them down towards Yuan Shao's soldiers on the siege ladder.

A steady stream!

Yuan Shao, Xun Chen and others watched this scene from a distance, all of them with extremely serious expressions.

The Jiangdong defenders are indeed different from other armies!
With this powerful strength and constant attacks, even if all [-] infantry archers are filled in, they may not be able to capture the city.

We can only find other strategies.

Especially relying on the advantage of cavalry to find ways to break the city.

Seeing that the siege had no effect, Yuan Shao then ordered the troops to retreat.

As the sound of ringing gold sounded, Yuan Shao's army that rushed towards the Shouchun city wall receded like a tide, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Especially under the city wall, corpses piled up like hills.

Xia Cai.

At this time, Gao Lan also landed at the port with [-] troops, divided his troops at the north gate and west gate of the city, and launched a fierce offensive.

Tai Shici, the right governor, personally led [-] soldiers to guard the city gate.

Although Gao Lan's ten thousand soldiers attacked fiercely and Xia Cai's city wall was not high, Tai Shi Ci did not panic at all.

He was not afraid of the attack of only [-] soldiers, not to mention the [-] soldiers he brought with him this time.

Standing on the city wall, Taishi Ci crossed his arms and watched jokingly as the army led by Gao Lan continued to attack the city.

At the same time, on the wall of the east gate of the city.

Under the dim firelight, a sparse group of less than a hundred soldiers kept moving back and forth.

The fortifications were not even manned.

Far away from the east gate of the city, about two miles in the dark, Xu You and Zhang He had already arrived with ten thousand cavalry.

Looking at the red-hot sky in the direction of Shouchun.

Listening to the distant sounds of fighting coming from the north gate and west gate of Xiacai City, Xu You and Zhang He looked at each other and nodded in unison.

The five thousand cavalry they brought this time were still equipped with one person and three horses.

A horse transports construction equipment.

A horse carries armor and weapons.

A horse fights.

As Zhang He drew his sword, the five thousand cavalry immediately divided into two groups.

50 men were left to guard the horses.

A group of three thousand cavalry took the siege ladder from their horses and quickly assembled it.

A group of two thousand cavalry quickly put on their armor and picked up their weapons.

When the ten siege ladders were assembled, Zhang He roared: "Siege the city!"

Suddenly, three thousand cavalrymen carried the siege ladder and rushed towards the city wall.

When the garrison of less than a hundred people on the city wall saw this, they all screamed in fright.

"Enemy attack!"

"Inform the general immediately that there are enemy troops at the east gate of the city!"

Xu You is riding on a war horse beside Zhang He.

Seeing the panicked look of the Jiangdong defenders with less than a hundred people on the city wall, Xu You stroked his mustache with a proud look on his face.

Sure enough, everything is calculated.

To starve the timid, to endure the daring.

If you are like a rat like Xun Chen and don't dare to take risks, then you will miss this good opportunity to take control of Jiangdong!

Three thousand cavalry rushed to the city on foot and set up the siege ladder on the city wall.

They climbed up the siege ladder one after another.

The Jiangdong garrison, which numbered less than a hundred people, had no power to resist at all.

In less than a moment, these three thousand cavalry climbed up the city wall.

Zhang He then waved his hand and said excitedly: "Follow the steps and attack the city. Don't be reluctant to fight. Burn the food and grass and retreat immediately!"

After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed over first.

Xu You also excitedly pulled out the sword from his waist and followed him in.

Two thousand cavalry were as fast as thunder and rushed to the city gate almost instantly.

The cavalry who had already entered the city opened the city gate in time.

Zhang He and Xu You led two thousand cavalry to quickly rush into it and directly entered Wengcheng.

The three thousand cavalrymen who had entered before had already reached the inner gate of Wengcheng into Xiacaicheng on foot, and were about to push open the gate.

Suddenly, on the wall of Wengcheng, which was originally dark and empty, torches lit up.

Densely packed archers appeared in the sight of Zhang He, Xu You and others.

An old man who looked a little lazy stood up, looked down at Zhang He and Xu You and said, "Two generals, Jia Xu has been waiting for a long time."

"There are 5000 archers on the city wall with 8000 arrows." "At this time, there are [-] infantrymen gathered at the city gate."

"Your war horses outside the city should have been captured by now."

"Should you choose to die in battle under our hundred thousand feather arrows, or choose another Ming Lord, I will give you ten breaths to consider."

After saying that, Jia Xu raised his hands and said: "Get ready!"

"Brush" sound.

All the archers bent their bows and set arrows in unison, aiming their arrows at Zhang He, Xu You and others in Wengcheng.

The tips of the feathered arrows reflected a cold light in the firelight.

Some of the five thousand cavalrymen had weak legs and were on the verge of collapse.

Zhang He looked around, his pale face showing no trace of blood.

Xu You, who had always been proud, was trembling at the moment.

Jia Xu began to count down: "Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

All the cavalrymen looked at Zhang He and Xu You in despair.

"General!"

"General, I don't want to die!"

"If I can die in battle, I will accept it, but I am not willing to die in such a miserable way!"

Zhang He listened to the pleadings around him and glanced at his left hand, which was still aching from the wound. Yuan Shao's words "Yan Liang" and "Wen Chou" came to mind.

Just when Jia Xu counted to "three," Zhang He lowered his head, threw away the weapon in his hand, and said in a voice so low that he could hardly hear him: "I surrender."

The five thousand cavalrymen hurriedly threw away their weapons.

Countless soldiers poured in from outside the city.

It turned out to be Jiangdong soldiers who had already been deployed.

These Jiangdong soldiers quickly rushed into Wengcheng and picked up all the weapons on the ground.

The leader of these soldiers is Ma Liang.

Ma Liang wanted to have Zhang He and Xu You tied up.

Jia Xu on the city wall suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

Ma Liang looked at Jia Xu doubtfully.

Jia Xu looked down at the bloodless Zhang He and said with a smile: "General, is he General Zhang He, one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei?"

Zhang He raised his head, looked at Jia Xu, and said, "Yes."

Jia Xu took off the sword from his waist and said, "This is the sword that Marquis Wu gave to me. Wherever the sword goes, Marquis Wu is personally present."

Zhang He frowned.

Jia Xu said: "Now there is also a cavalry force in Cai City, with 4000 people."

"If General Zhang He is willing to take them back to Yuan Shao's camp, we can cooperate in launching a counterattack when the two sides fight."

"On the day when Yuan Shao's army is defeated, I can guarantee in the name of Wu Hou that the official position General Zhang He has under Yuan Shao's account will be the same official position in our Jiangdong."

"Moreover, these five thousand cavalry are still under your jurisdiction."

"General Zhang He should know that although our Jiangdong cavalry is far inferior to the Hebei cavalry, we still have cavalry generals in Jiangdong."

"And, it's not inferior to you."

"Flying General Lu Bu."

"General Zhang Xiu, who was born in Wuwei."

"But as long as you are willing to perform this service, the position of No. 1 in the Jiangdong Cavalry will be yours."

Zhang He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Anyway, he was not reused under Yuan Shao's account.

It's not worth fighting to death for him.

Now, if you can protect these five thousand cavalry and still maintain your official position, why not do it?
Jia Xu laughed and said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero! General Zhang He, please wait a moment. I will immediately bring you an appointment document. General Zhang He signs it. After the matter is completed, I will never let General Zhang He down."

After saying that, he took out a scroll from his sleeve and asked the soldier to take it down.

The soldier rushed to Zhang He with the scroll.

Zhang He took the scroll and opened it.

As expected, there was an appointment document inside, with the seal of Marquis Wu on it.

Zhang He took a long breath, bit his finger, and wrote his name on it with blood.

Seeing this, Xu You hurriedly said: "I can also surrender, but I -"

Before he finished speaking, a long sword came out directly from his back and chest.

It's Lu Meng!
Lu Meng also followed the team this time.

Lu Meng's sudden attack startled Zhang He.

A smile appeared on Jia Xu's face.

This piece is here!
Xu You obviously did not expect that he would be killed.

Just as he was about to turn around to see who had made the move, Lu Meng directly pulled out the long sword that had pierced his body and pulled out his body.

Zhang He looked at Xu You's body and swallowed, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Just now, was it true that as long as I hesitated for a moment, I would be the one who died?
When Jia Xu saw that Xu You had been executed, he signaled that the gate from Wengcheng to Xiacai City should be opened.

Inside the gate of the inner city, Jiang Qin and others have led four thousand soldiers to prepare.

As the city gate opened, Jiang Qin and others quickly walked in, took off the armor of Zhang He's five thousand cavalry, and put it on themselves.

Zhang He felt his hands and feet feel cold as he watched this scene.

It turns out that it was all someone else’s plan!

People like myself have been completely manipulated.

It's a pity that people like me were still complacent before.

Now that I think about it, he is a complete clown.

Jiang Qin and others changed into the armor and weapons of Zhang He's cavalry, and then walked out of the city.

Jia Xu hugged Zhang He and said, "General Zhang He, take five hundred of your own cavalry and all the cavalry officers back to Yuan Shao's camp and wait for Wu Hou's order."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, a raging fire suddenly broke out in the city.

Zhang He looked at the fire in the city and was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly and hugged Jia Xu on the city wall. Then he called to the five hundred cavalry and left with Xu You's body.
