Because Ma Chao led his guards to attack the city wall.
The city wall also became a little chaotic, and the general who defended the city was chopped down by Ma Chao without even saying a word.
The defenders also had no one to command them and were fighting on their own, which made Ma Chao and others much more relaxed.
The chaos on the city wall was coupled with the shouts of killing.
It also made Pang De, who was hiding in the dense forest a mile outside Yecheng, notice.
The city gate also opened a gap at this time, and the firelight in front of the city gate passage was also reflected, and it could be seen from a distance.
"Charge the whole army and capture Yecheng" Pang De waved his sword, pointed at Yecheng from a distance, and shouted.
Immediately, he rushed out of the dense forest and ran towards Yecheng.
"kill" The soldiers who had been ready for battle rushed out of the dense forest one after another, followed Pang De, and launched a charge towards Yecheng.
There were shouts of killing outside the city, as well as the sound of intensive galloping horses.
It also attracted the attention of the defenders on the city wall.
"The enemy is attacking the city, the enemy is attacking the city" Some defenders shouted in panic.
However.
The generals who defended the city were hacked to death, and there was no one to organize their defense, making it even more chaotic.
Moreover, they besieged Ma Chao, and there were dozens of personal guards, but they could not capture them quickly, and many defenders fell to the butcher's knife of Ma Chao and others.
Now Ma Chao's body was covered in blood, as if he had walked out of a pool of blood.
The unstoppable momentum made the defenders surrounding Ma Chao feel frightened and unable to think of fighting him.
Half of the personal guards, more than 20 people, also fell, and only about 20 people were left standing around Ma Chao, fighting with the defenders.
After all, these personal guards are not fierce generals like Ma Chao, and they are still facing a large number of defenders, so casualties are inevitable.
At this time The city gate was also fully opened, welcoming Pound and other hundreds of cavalry troops who had rushed to the city gate, followed by numerous infantry.
See this situation.
The defenders on the city wall lost all intention of fighting and began to flee in panic.
puff Ma Chao chopped down a defender to the ground with one knife, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and shouted: "Those who put down their weapons and surrender will not be killed, otherwise they will be killed without mercy." when When, when, when As a defender who had no intention of resisting dropped his weapon, many defenders also dropped their weapons.
Escape is simply impossible.
If Pound had not led his army into the city, they could still have escaped.
Now that Pound had led his army into the city, they could not escape their fate even if they walked down the city wall.
Pound led his men up the city wall and saw the defenders throwing down their weapons and surrendering, and knew that the battle here was over. but.
It is still impossible to capture the entire Yecheng.
Pang De and Ma Chao also asked some soldiers to stay behind to guard the surrendered troops, and then walked down the city wall again.
Ma Chao threw away the chipped long knife in his hand, picked up his spear, got on his horse, and said: "Gongming, you lead some of the troops and horses from the west, and I will lead the remaining troops and horses from the east.
Clear the enemy troops in the city" "promise" Pound didn't have any objections.
The two of them did not hesitate anymore.
One of them led a part of the troops and went in two directions to clear out Yuan's army in the city and take over Yecheng.
The cry of killing was also remembered from all over the city.
In the city of Ye, Countless people woke up from their sleep, and children were also woken up crying.
But no people dared to walk out of their houses casually.
They were afraid.
After all, they didn't know who was attacking Yecheng.
If they were bandits, then.
We can only wait for the results to come out in the house.
The huge Zhen Mansion also lit up the lights, and many guards were gathered, guarding the courtyard with sharp blades in hand.
There were many people sitting in the hall, with nervous expressions on their faces.
"We are the generals under the command of the King of Han.
The people in the city need not panic.
We are not allowed to step out of the houses without authorization, otherwise we will treat them as enemy troops."

A fast horse galloped past the street in front of the gate of Zhen's Mansion, and at the same time a loud shout was heard, gradually fading away.
Of course, Ma Chao and Pang De did not forget to appease the people in the city.
While cleaning up Yuan Jun in the city.
Twenty knights were also sent to run around the city to reassure the people in the city.
They also warned some nobles who supported Yuan Shao not to come out to cause trouble, otherwise they would not be merciful.
Also because twenty riders were running around the city shouting.
With the name of Liu Qi, King of Han Dynasty, many frightened people also calmed down and stayed in their houses obediently.
The nervous expressions of the people in the Zhen Mansion, as well as some nobles, also became somewhat relieved.
But they couldn't figure out why Liu Qi's troops appeared here.
Didn't the news say that they were in a stalemate with each other in Puyang?
Can't figure it out.
However, they knew that if Liu Qi's troops invaded Yecheng, the owner of Yecheng would also change.
They expressed no confidence at all whether the defenders in the city could drive Liu Qi's troops out of Yecheng.
If they had confidence, they would not be attacked by others. soon Yecheng also regained its calm.
Pang De and Ma Chao gathered together at the end, which also meant that Yuan's army in the city had been cleared.
They were either killed in battle or surrendered.
There was no third outcome.
At this moment, Yecheng was declared to be under Liu Qi's control.
Ma Chao and Pang De did not harass the people in the city, nor did they pay attention to the nobles in the city.
They were only responsible for fighting.
As for internal affairs, just leave them to Zhuge Liang.
This was also the purpose of Liu Qi asking Zhuge Liang to follow him.
After all, neither Ma Chao nor Pang De were good at this.
When guarding Jingzhou, many internal affairs were handled by Pang Tongyi.
When Zhuge Liang accepted the affairs in the city, he did not contact the nobles in the city, nor did he go to the Zhen Mansion.
All this also required a process.
People must be willing to pay for Liu Qi and support Liu Qi.
Overnight.
Yecheng also changed its ruler.
But the people in the city didn't have any opinions.
After all, these things were not something that ordinary people like them could care about.
No matter who made the decision, their lives could still be lived.
Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, and Pang De settled down in the city lord's mansion after a busy night.
Now that Yecheng has been captured, this is something that cannot be changed.
By the time Yuan Shao receives the news, it is already too late to recapture Yecheng.
Capture Yecheng.
They also felt much more at ease, after all, this was an important goal that supported their army's continued conquest of Jizhou. certainly.
They also did not forget to send someone to send a battle report to Liu Qi who led his troops to Chaoge.
When Liu Qi captured Chaoge and gathered his troops together.
Yuan Shao never had the chance to recapture Yecheng
