The last three kingdoms

Chapter 325

Under the swift and fierce offensive, a hole was finally torn open in the defense line of the city wall of Shangyu. On the south wall, the soldiers of the Baidi camp rushed to the city first.

The defense line of the Wei army was indeed at the end of its strength. After one point was broken through, the entire defense line collapsed in an instant. More Shu soldiers climbed up the city wall. Surrender, in short, there are not many Wei soldiers standing on the first line of defense on the city wall.

"My lord, the Shu people are attacking, retreat quickly!" A few of his own soldiers urged Yang Bao urgently. The current Shu soldiers are like a flood that burst a dike, unstoppable.

Yang Bao stood there with a gun, motionless, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing several Shu soldiers rushing towards him, he shouted violently, and went forward with his gun, picking and stabbing Turned over several Shu soldiers.

But no matter how brave Yang Bao was, there was no one around him. Even the last few soldiers around him either died or fled. The Shu soldiers gathered more and more, trapping Yang Bao in the core .

Yang Bao didn't have the slightest fear, relying on his physical strength, his bravery was outstanding, he danced like a wind with a long spear, although there were many Shu soldiers around, they couldn't get close to him for a moment.

"Who is so rampant!" There was a clear and sharp rebuke, and the Shu soldiers around all gave way one after another. The person who came was none other than Zhuge Shang, the leader of the Baidi camp.Since the start of the siege battle, Zhuge Shang has always been fighting on the front line. The soldiers of the Baidi Battalion just broke through the Wei army's city defenses, and Zhuge Shang followed closely on the city wall.

After climbing up the city wall, it was discovered that most of the Wei army had already been routed, and only a few Wei soldiers were still resisting. The most brave one was the one on the south gate tower, who blocked dozens of Shu soldiers one by one. In addition, Zhuge Shang stepped forward immediately, wanting to know who is this sacred?

After everyone got out of the way, Zhuge Shang took a look, and it turned out to be Yang Bao, the captain of Tianshui, and shouted: "Yang Bao, you are at the end of the road. If you don't bow your head and arrest him, when will you be?"

Yang Bao sneered and said: "There are only generals with beheaded heads here, no cowards who bowed their knees, if you want someone to surrender, let's go to the next life!"

Zhuge Shang snorted coldly, and said: "Ignorant of current affairs, bring your own destruction, Yang Bao, even if you are stubborn, you cannot escape the fate of destruction. Since you want to die with all your heart, I will make it possible for you."

Yang Bao said contemptuously: "A man stands between heaven and earth, why should he be afraid of death, but your wishful thinking may come to nothing, you won't be able to get a grain of food from Shangyu City!"

As if responding to Yang Bao's words, a puff of smoke rose from the direction of the granary in the city, and Yang Bao laughed loudly and said, "Okay, well done!"

Zhuge Shang was obviously taken aback. He never expected that Yang Bao would be so frenzied that he burned hundreds of thousands of hu grains and buried them with him.The purpose of Liu Yin's attack on Shangyu this time is to take the grain and grass in these official warehouses to meet the needs of the army to survive the winter. Now that Yang Bao is about to burn these grains and grass before his defeat, Zhuge Shang can't help screaming secretly He said "no".

However, there is a long way to go from the south gate to the granary, and the grain and grass itself are flammable. Once the fire breaks out, it is impossible to save it. Even though Zhuge Shang wanted to save it, he knew that it would be irreversible.

It was Li Tuo, the county lieutenant who set the fire. When he was ordered to rush to the granary, the Shu army had just breached the city wall. For Li Tuo, there was plenty of time.

Regarding Yang Bao's crazy order, Li Tuo was a little hesitant. If the fire burns down, not only the granary, but also the entire city of Shangying may fall into flames. Except for a thousand soldiers in Shangying, There are still nearly [-] people, and the life and death of these common people are all in the hands of Li Tuo.

Thinking of this, Li Tuo's hands couldn't help trembling. He also knew that if the food and grass could not be burned in time, it would most likely fall into the hands of the Shu army.But the fathers and people in Shangying are innocent, and even Li Tuo's family and parents are in Shangying City. From an emotional point of view, it is extremely difficult for Li Tuo to act as the executioner of the city.

The soldiers under him had already set a few haystacks on fire, and thick smoke billowed into the air.Li Tuo held up a torch and walked towards the main pile of grain and grass. It didn't need much, just this torch could burn the entire Tianshui granary clean.

Li Tuo's hand had just dropped, and before he had time to put the torch into the grain store, his hands had already tightly grasped the torch's pole, and said eagerly: "Li Xianwei, it's absolutely impossible."

Li Tuo regarded it as Duan Yun, the head of the county, and Duan Yun said: "Li Xianwei, if this fire burns down, it may not only burn down the granary, but I am afraid that Shangyu City will be completely burned. How many fathers and villagers are there in the city? You will suffer because of this, County Lieutenant Li, you can't be a sinner through the ages!"

Li Tuo said in embarrassment: "This is the order of Captain Yang, and I can't disobey it."

Duan Yunyu said sincerely: "Li Xianwei, the Shu army came here this time, obviously the target is these grains and grasses. If you burn them, the Shu people may vent their anger on the people of the whole city. As far as I know, Li County The lieutenant's family members are still in the city, it is unwise for Li Xianwei to take the lives of himself and his family to be buried with Yang Duwei, please think twice before acting."

Li Tuo suddenly thought of his family, wife and children, he sighed, threw away the torch in his hand, and ordered his soldiers to put out the two burning haystacks.

Zhuge Shang on the tower watched the thick smoke from the granary gradually dissipate, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Yang Bao, your wishful thinking has come to nothing."

Yang Bao's heart was hit hard, he looked at the direction of the granary in a daze, the soaring fire did not follow his will, on the contrary, it was the black smoke that shot straight into the sky before At this moment, there is no trace, Yang Bao doesn't know where Li Tuo is at the moment, but he knows very well that his final plan has failed.

Yang Bao's face was pale, and he took a few steps back, leaning against the edge of the city wall. The Shu soldiers surrounded him. At this moment, Yang Bao could not escape even with wings.

"Falling short of success, falling short of success! Human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. I, Yang Bao, entrusted no human beings, so I deserve this failure!"

Knowing that today was a doomed situation, Yang Bao knew it was irreversible, and he didn't want to die under the swords of Shu soldiers, so he jumped down from the city wall more than three feet high, committing suicide.
