Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 127
Liu Pi sneered, and said angrily, "How can I appreciate your little gift? I just want to ask you, is Chen Dao your concubine brother? Don't deny it, I have found out very clearly!! Now Chen Dao is in the city. Among the foreign enemies, do you still have the guts to dare to ask me what is the matter? Could it be that you have already prepared the Chen family as an internal response!!"

Chen Ying was shocked and said: "General Liu, I really don't know about this matter! Besides, Chen Dao is no longer a member of my Chen family, so anything he does has nothing to do with my Chen family. If General Liu catches Chen Dao, he will be killed or cut into pieces." , take it at your convenience, my Chen family will never intervene!"

Liu Pidao: "There is no need to say more, I just want to ask you, are you willing to follow me honestly, or wait for my army to attack by force!"

"General Liu! If you must destroy my Chen family, can you tell me why?" Chen Ying's expression changed.

"Hehe! Speaking of it, I can't blame Liu Pi for being cruel and merciless. It's just your Chen family that caused such a disaster! No matter what your relationship with him is, I only know that Chen Dao values ​​​​love and righteousness, and I will never look at him. Hundreds of members of the Chen family died before our eyes, and now the city is being attacked by tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, so we have to borrow the lives of the Chen family and threaten them to retreat! If you and the Chen family can cooperate well, as long as the enemy soldiers retreat, I promise , I can let you go home right away! If I wait for me to force it! I'm afraid the consequences will be different!" Liu Bidao.

Chen Ying burst out laughing after hearing Liu Pi finished speaking!

Seeing Chen Ying laughing, Liu Pi was furious, "Are you not afraid that I will kill you!!"

After Chen Ying laughed, he said loudly: "General Liu only knows one thing, but not the other, so I couldn't help laughing. If Liu Jun did this, not only would it not make Feng Yao retreat, but it would fulfill their wish. !!"

"Why?" Liu Pi couldn't help asking.

"After Chen Dao was expelled from the Chen family, he regarded me as an enemy and wished that I would die sooner. If General Liu dragged me to the top of the city, I'm afraid Feng Yao and the others would laugh out loud. He would be very happy to see me killed!! "Chen Ying said.

"Even so, I can't let the Chen family go, I will drag the Chen family to be buried with me!!" Liu Pi said angrily, then waved his hand, "Give it to me! Kill these family soldiers, and then kill all the Chen family soldiers. Arrest all the family!!"

"Wait!" Chen said urgently, "General Liu might as well listen to me. I know how many people are still in the city at this time. These people must be Feng Yao's subordinates. General Liu might as well arrest them. Wouldn't it be better to arrest me?" The members of the Chen family are much more useful. If this is not enough, I can also take a step back and ask you to arrest some of the Chen family members who are closely related to Chen Dao. !!"

Liu Pi's eyes flashed, and he stopped the order to launch another attack. In fact, Liu Pi was just trying to scare Chen Ying. If he really wanted to capture the whole Chen family, he probably didn't have enough manpower, so he would have to use an army of thousands of people. However, if you fight to the death with the Chen family in the city because the war has not yet started, the loss of troops will definitely be detrimental to the subsequent battle! !
"Patriarch Chen, let's talk about it. If what you say is true, I can agree to your request. If you dare to lie a single word! Don't blame me, Liu Pi, for not being sympathetic. Even if the city is broken, before the city is broken, I will We must also send a large army to destroy the Chen family before withdrawing!!" Liu Pi shouted.

Chen Yingdao: "How dare I lie to General Liu!! There is a Shisanxiang bun shop in the north of the city, has General Liu heard of it?"

"I know!" Liu Bi said.

This Shisanxiang steamed stuffed bun shop is very famous in Pingyu, Liu Pi would send his soldiers to Shisanxiang every day to buy a large number of steamed buns to eat, and distribute them as rewards to his generals!

"Since General Liu knows this steamed stuffed bun shop, there is no need to lead the way! Huang Yi and his wife, the shopkeepers of the steamed stuffed bun shop, are Feng Yao's servants. Identity and background are all important considerations! Therefore, as long as General Liu captures Huang Yi, his wife and their family, it will certainly have an impact on Feng Yao, wouldn't it be better to use me to threaten Feng Yao?" Chen Ying said.

"Really?" Liu Pi couldn't believe it. If ordinary people also became prefects, wouldn't everyone in this world be an official?

"This is indeed true. Feng Yao was just a wandering orphan in the city before he developed a fortune. He made his fortune by opening this steamed stuffed bun shop because of his sworn brotherhood with Chen Dao et al. Later, he fell under Lu Bu's subordinates. I don’t know why I became the prefect! Everything I said is true, if General Liu doesn’t believe it, he can arrest a few local people and ask him!” Chen Ying said.

……

Feng Yao's army was busy all night, and the siege equipment was basically finished, so he ordered the fourth watch to bury the pot to make food, and the fifth watch to attack with all its strength!

Gong Du, Zhou Zheng, Cheng Gu, Du Heng, Wen Xun and other former Yellow Turban generals all yelled across the river to the city, intending to recruit and rebel against the enemy in the city, the Yellow Turbans. After shouting for nearly half an hour, there was not much movement in the city.

In fact, many of the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city were already tempted, but they were afraid of Liu Pi's power and did not dare to take any action.

Xu Chu, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang and other generals could not wait any longer and asked for a fight one after another. Feng Yao didn't want to delay any longer and agreed to attack!
With the sound of drums, the morale of the army was boosted, and the three armies uttered a loud cry!

"kill!!!!!"

The first thing to be dispatched was ten simple building carts full of archers. The height of the building carts was nearly ten feet, far exceeding the city wall of Pingyu City, which was only six feet high. Now, they can only shoot at each other from a distance across the river and the city! !
Under the cover of archers, groups of densely packed sword and shield soldiers roared, and more than a hundred people in each of the two groups struggled to lift up the wooden bridge made of tree trunks, and raised the big shield with one hand. The scene was very spectacular. The ten wooden bridges rushed towards the moat, looking from a distance like huge centipedes, trying to tear apart the enemy soldiers in front of them with their fangs!
After seeing the yellow turban and short bow at the top of the city, he hurriedly turned to attack the sword and shield soldiers who wanted to build a bridge forcibly, but ordinary arrows couldn't penetrate the defense of the big shield at all! !The Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly set up the crossbows defending the city bed again. With a few powerful crossbows, the formation of the sword and shield soldiers broke up, and several sword and shield soldiers were shot through by the shield leaders! !Although the formation was not scattered, due to the lack of a few shields, the bows and arrows shot down from the city were no longer able to block them, and the trees they were lifting sank suddenly, which took a lot of effort.

Zhou Cang shouted loudly in front of the formation, and immediately a group of sword and shield soldiers charged up with their big shields, filling up the formation, and advancing faster again.

Right in front of the city gate, Gong Du, who was in charge of attacking the city gate head-on, also shouted loudly, and ordered the city rush car to rush towards the city gate! !
The protective wooden boards on the city charging carts are much stronger than the large shields. The soldiers hiding under the city charging carts can only hear the sound of arrows hitting the wood above their heads, but they don't have to worry about being shot through the wooden boards at all. !
As soon as they rushed to the bottom of the city gate, the soldiers shouted and violently pushed the city rush car, trying to hit the city gate to enter, when suddenly a bucket of boiling oil poured down from the top of the city and poured it on the city rush car! !The soldiers who were accidentally splashed with boiling oil screamed in pain!The pain almost fell to the ground, and the team leader in charge of the attack yelled angrily: "Bump me! Knock open the city gate! Cut off the enemy's head and snatch the enemy's wife as a slave!!"

Although the team leader's scolding was rough, it was more exciting than the thundering drums to the ears of the soldiers who bet their lives! !Everyone stared at the city gate with anger!Qiqi yelled, "Bump!!!"
