The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 469: Soldiers surround Shouchun (3)

"The last general Zhang Liao (Tai Shi Ci) pays homage to the lord."

"Wenyuan, Ziyi, are you here?"

The three armies gathered together and besieged Yuan Shu in Shouchun.

"Sit, everyone, sit down."

There are many talents under Liu Han's tent.

"It hasn't been this lively for a long time."

Sitting below Liu Han were civil servants: Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Chen Deng; generals: Dian Wei, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Chen Dao, Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, Gao Lan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong.

There are also new generation talents such as Wang Ji, Wen Hui, Guo Huai, Pei Qian, Du Shu and Luo Jun who were brought here for training.

Just a few of them are the meat and potatoes that others can only ask for.

"Yuan Shu didn't lose unjustly." Liu Han sighed inwardly, "With such a luxurious lineup, it would be really embarrassing for Dafa to lose."

When everyone sat down, Liu Han spoke first, "Everyone, after months of fighting, the puppet emperor Yuan Shu has been besieged by our legions in Shouchun. He can only travel a hundred miles in half a century. The more critical the moment, the less we can relax our vigilance, let alone breed arrogance. The heart of underestimating the enemy.”

Everyone shouted in unison, "I will obey your orders."

"Do you all see Yuan Shu's extravagance when he becomes emperor?"

Everyone nodded. This time they pursued Yuan Shu and captured Shen County. They were able to capture a lot of things that Yuan Shu had left there before he could take them away.

Just talking about this golden chariot and jade chariot is scary enough. It has a round cover and a square seat. The chariot cover is cyan, with a golden dome on top. The golden dome is surrounded by engraved gold hanging clouds, and the lower end is gold cloud leaves.

The chariot door has a pearl curtain, and it sparkles, so it is obviously a real pearl curtain.

Through the gap in the curtain, you can see a golden dragon throne inside, a bronze tripod with sandalwood incense on the left, and a sword on the right. There are four shafts in the front, the two middle shafts are long and the left and right shafts are slightly shorter. The two ends of the shafts are called the head and tail of the golden dragon respectively.

Judging from the length and number of extended shafts, thirty-six people were needed to carry it.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of Yuan Shu's extravagance.

"Not only did he not care about the people in the Jianghuai area, but he intensified his plundering. Now the people in the entire area are in dire straits, many places are cut off from human habitation, and there is even a phenomenon of cannibalism during the famine!" At this point, Liu Han was very angry. Many places were ruined by Yuan Shu, and the pressure to recover after the war was huge.

Now, in order to survive, Yuan Shu desperately used the lives of the people to fill it, and the situation in the Jianghuai area was even worse.

"My lord, our army has surrounded Shouchun City and we are waiting for your lord's order."

"The army will rest for three days and attack Shouchun three days later."

"Here."

A day of high-intensity cross-river battles left the army very exhausted. Shouchun would be his own sooner or later, and reconstruction after the war would be the top priority.

#
In a blink of an eye, three days are up.

After this battle, out of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, only Jing, Liang, Yi, Jiao, Youzhou and Yangzhou were left in their hands. Three-fifths of the big man will be completely in his hands.

Although he is not an emperor, he has become the most powerful king in hundreds of years, possessing power that is unrivaled in this land.

Looking at the 100,000 Han soldiers in shining armor behind him, wherever he points his spear, the fearless Han warriors will win glorious victories for their king.

At this moment, Liu Han pulled out his long sword and pointed it at the top of Shouchun City.

Under the reflection of the sun, the golden sword glow shone with dazzling light.

On the top of the city, Yuan Jun, who was barely guarding, was already frightened.

"Big man!" "Wan Sheng!"

"Big man!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The momentum of 100,000 people increased to a higher level with Liu Han's blessing, and their king stood at the front!

This is what the Han army looked like in its heyday.

"This is...King..."

After joining the army as a chronicler, Chen Lin stayed with Liu Han and served as his writing staff. At the same time, he was also responsible for daily records.

He had seen the strength of the Han army, but this was the first and only time in his life that he had seen a hundred thousand troops surrender to one man.

The 100,000-strong army was like a giant dragon, majestic and shocking. The square formation was neat and uniform, the soldiers were dressed in iron armor, holding spears and swords, shining in the sun with a cold light.

The beating of war drums shook the heaven and earth, like a thunderous force, stirring up the blood and pride of the soldiers. The sound of horse hooves swept over like a violent storm, and the ground seemed to be shaking. The soldiers' shouts came one after another, forming a torrent that shot straight into the sky, showing an unparalleled killing spirit.

In the phalanx, flags were flapping, and war flags of various colors fluttered in the wind, burning like fire, lighting up the entire battlefield.

Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun...the generals were armored and mighty, and the counselors Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu...they planned strategies and won the battle thousands of miles away.

In the sky, war eagles circled, their sharp eyes fixed on the movements on the ground, as if they were also cheering for the 100,000 troops. In the distant sky, a wisp of red clouds reflected this spectacular scene, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken by the momentum of this army.

The entire phalanx is like a grand picture. The figures of the soldiers are elongated in the sun. Their steps are firm and powerful, and each step embodies shocking power.

In front of this huge army, everything seemed small and powerless, and could only be overwhelmed by this magnificent momentum.

"Big man! Wansheng!"

Literati such as Chen Lin were also infected by this atmosphere. He was a scholar and a Han Chinese. With the king here, the Han Dynasty would definitely be able to rise again.

Later, Chen Lin went back and painted "The Picture of Soldiers Surrounding and Shouchun" which became a national treasure for later generations. The picture vividly shows the strength of Liu Han and his army. After completing the internal reforms, the Han Dynasty continued to expand its territory and greatly improved the nation's self-confidence. This is ironclad proof!
Did you see that your ancestors were still savages at that time, but our ancestors were already looking down upon the world!
"Bang the drum!" Qin Feng shouted.

Amidst the rumble of drums, five phalanxes of Han warriors, two phalanxes of infantry, one phalanx of cavalry, and two phalanxes of crossbowmen, began the prelude to the siege with steps that made the earth tremble.

Yuan Shu's troops on the city were so frightened that they hid in the city walls and did not dare to show their heads. In the Battle of Huai River, Yuan Shu's troops were basically wiped out. In addition to the 3,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city, there were only 14,000 people left in the city, including The four thousand men were the remnant soldiers brought back by Lei Bo from the battlefield and could not form an effective combat force.

The Han army was moving forward in an orderly manner, and the vanguard siege generals Gao Shun, Chen Dao, and Zhu Ling were the three generals. Suddenly, the battlefield changed. The Shouchun city gate opened wide, and a troop of soldiers and horses poured out.

"Ok?"

Liu Han didn't understand. Was Yuan Shu going to make a last-ditch effort?

He only has these few people left, and he still wants to make a comeback?

"Deploy a defensive position on the spot! Beware of fraud!"

"Every team forms a dense formation!"

Dong Dong Dong Dong... The huge shield that was intended to withstand the rain of arrows from the city was smashed into the ground by a strong arm, and a series of sharp spears were stuck in the slot at the top of the shield.

After a few seconds, the shield formation took shape.

"Archers, prepare to shoot!"

The Han army was ready.
