At the head of the city, when Yuan Shaoshang was resentful, a member of the cavalry of the Liang army rushed towards the city alone.
Yuan Jun immediately fell silent, looking at the person who was rushing with curious eyes.
"It's Zhang He, it's Zhang He, that traitor" Wen Chou was the first to recognize the comer.
Yuan Shao's body was shocked, and anger immediately burst out from his eyes.
Zhang He had already carried the bloody head, galloping all the way, more than 30 steps away from the south gate of Yecheng, with the momentum of the rushing horse, Zhang He roared angrily, and threw the head in his hand with all his might.
The potter wanted to use this bloody human head to deter Yuan Shao and tell Yuan Jun in the city that whoever dared to help Yuan Shao resist stubbornly would be his end.
This is a warning of his blood.
The bloody human head crossed the graceful arc, and flew into the head of Yecheng City, and when it landed, the surrounding Yuan soldiers were startled and instinctively spread aside.
The head rolled a few steps, and finally stopped in front of Yuan Shao.
The head was disheveled and stained with blood, and for a moment it was impossible to tell whose head it was, so one of the pro-soldiers picked up the man's head tremblingly and pulled away the loose hair.
When Yuan Shao and his subordinates saw that it was the head of the recruitment, everyone was shocked, and they all changed color.
Yuan Shao suddenly understood that this was the potter openly humiliating him, warning him, and scaring his subordinates.
"Pottery thief, how dare you" Yuan Shao's heart was even more like a knife, and his eyes were sprayed with flames of grief and indignation, almost bursting out of his eyes.
Outside the city, Zhang He had already reined in his horse and speared, shouting at the city: "Yuan Shao, you mediocre lord, your father and son listened to slander and killed my whole family. ” After saying that, Zhang He snorted coldly and drove away.
Being so openly humiliated by the traitor, Yuan Shao was angry, his face was red, his blood was tumbling in his chest, and his chest was about to be blown up.
Wen Chou was even more annoyed and angry, and shouted angrily: "Lord, this traitor is so rampant, please let me lead my troops to kill and behead that traitor." ” Wen Chou angrily called for war, and the rest of the generals such as Han Meng generously called for war.
Frustrated, his brows furrowed, and his face was worried, only Tao Yuan Shao was dizzy, and he couldn't help Wen Chou and other generals call for war, and really sent troops to fight.
The current strength of his Yuan army, and then send troops to force the battle, there is no doubt that he will be sent to death, and he is afraid that he will not be killed by the time of the battle.
Yuan Shao had long hated the anger and blood, gritted his teeth, and for a moment, he couldn't help but go out to fight and wash away the shame.
In the end, he endured it, and finally had a little sense, letting him know that the only way to fight was to fall into the potter's radical method and give the soldiers their lives.
But this traitor, in front of the whole army, humiliated himself so much, if he didn't fight, where would his face go.
In a dilemma, under the torment of his heart, Yuan Shao suddenly closed his eyes, looked up to the sky and screamed, spurted two mouthfuls of blood, and fainted.
"The Lord" Wen Chou and the others were taken aback, their anger instantly collapsed, and they rushed up in fright, supporting Yuan Shao, who was angry.
Frustrated, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was busy scolding the generals, helping Yuan Shao back to the mansion and asking a doctor for treatment.
The indignation of the generals could only be swallowed, and after watching Zhang Heyao raise his might, he walked away.
Yuan Shao's nightmare has just begun.
The day after the capture of the enemy's horn camp, the potter gave the order to launch a day and night bombardment of the main city of Yecheng.
Nearly 700 heavenly thunder cannons were erected in the four gates of Yecheng, day and night, endlessly bombarded the enemy city.
The 700-day thunder cannon was changed again by Lu Ban, and although the weight of the projectiles did not increase, the firing range was greatly improved.
After a few days of bombardment, most of the houses in Yecheng had been bombarded to pieces, leaving only the area around the General's Mansion, and the narrow circle was not affected by the stone bullets.
Under the bombardment for several days, thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yecheng were killed and wounded, and everyone only shrank in the tunnels dug temporarily, trembling and dying.
This kind of terrifying bombardment seriously destroyed the morale of the Yuan army, which was not high, and knocked their fighting spirit to the bottom.
In addition to the stone bombardment, the pottery merchants also adopted powerful psychological tactics and spread the news to the city through various means, saying that Yuan Shang of Bingzhou, Gao Gan of Youzhou and Yuan Xi of Nanpi had given up on rescuing Yecheng, and each declared himself the legitimate heir of Yuan Shao, and began to kill each other.
Under the oppression of both spirit and body, the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng are panicked, although the food has not yet been eaten, the spirit has reached the verge of collapse.
Yuan Shao, who vomited blood that day, lay in the general's mansion to recuperate, and handed over the city defense to Wen Choufu and Han Meng.
The three of them also realized that the general trend was gone, and they became more and more powerless, and they combined with each other to reach a common opinion on letting the city go.
So, on the same day, the three of them came to the General's Mansion together to meet Yuan Shao.
When the three of them entered the inner room, Yuan Shaozheng was half-leaning on the couch, his face was pale, and his expression was weak and weak.
"If you can't defend the city well, why did you come to see me at the same time, if the pottery thief takes the opportunity to attack at this time, who will preside over the overall situation."
Yuan Shao coughed dryly and complained unhappily.
The three of them looked at each other, Wen Chou and Han Meng, both of whom frowned, with a hesitant face, and no one dared to speak first.
Yuan Shao saw some clues, so he said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, don't swallow it." ” Han Meng and Wen Chou's eyes invariably looked at Fu Zhu in unison.
"Alas" sighed helplessly, "Don't hide it from the lord, we have done our best, but unfortunately the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city has fallen to the bottom, and I am afraid that it is no longer realistic to hold on." ” Yuan Shao's face immediately became gloomy, he was silent for a moment, and said with a straight face: "What about Shang'er, why haven't they received reinforcements yet?"
"Their reinforcements probably won't come."
Frustrated and bitter sighed, "The third prince has been stationed in the pot for more than a month, and I heard that every day it is only to strengthen the pot pass to prevent the attack of the pottery thief, but there is no sign of coming to the rescue."

As for Gao Gongzi, although he led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into Tunzhongshan, he did not see any movement for a long time, only the soldiers and horses of the second prince were the closest to Yecheng, but unfortunately he had too few soldiers and horses, and he did not dare to come to the rescue alone.
Fu Zhu didn't say anything more, but the meaning of the words was clear.
His beloved two sons and nephews have abandoned him, intending to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, leaving him to fend for himself.
Yuan Shao's face turned miserable, the blood was rolling in his face, and he had the urge to vomit blood, and his face was full of grief and indignation.
He didn't expect that he would cultivate such selfish and shameless nephews, all of whom were benevolent, righteous and filial, and only showed their original form at a critical moment.
What makes him most painful is Yuan Shang's refusal to save him when he sees death, you must know that all along, he has always valued and trusted the third son.
I think that at the beginning, when Yuan Shang said that he would go to Bingzhou to move the troops, he not only believed it, but even allocated thousands of precious soldiers and horses, as well as the general Yan Liang, to him.
Now it seems that Yuan Shang at that time had already made up his mind to abandon him, and the so-called moving troops to Bingzhou was just an excuse.
"You are really my good son, good nephew, hahaha" Yuan Shao, who was sad and angry, laughed out loud, but in the laughter, it was all desolate.
Looking at Yuan Shao's appearance, Wen Chou and Han Meng, the two generals, all lowered their heads silently.
After taking a deep breath, he sighed: "There is no hope for foreign aid, it is difficult to hold on, and there is no other way to do it now, my lord, let the city not go." ” Yuan Shao's face changed immediately, and he was about to scold and reprimand when he opened his mouth, the words came to his mouth, but he was never able to speak.
Of course, he knew how important Yecheng was, and what a heavy blow it would be to his foundation if it fell.
He also knew that if he continued to hold on to the hopeless situation of foreign aid, the end would only be the same as Liyang City, and he would eventually fall.
And he, Yuan Shao, will perish with the fall of Yecheng.
"Those stinky boys, want to sit and watch me be killed by pottery thieves, they can inherit my inheritance, I must not let them get their wish, pottery thieves, I will never let you swallow Hebei, never" The hesitation on Yuan Shao's face became less and less, and he was gradually tempted.
Seeing this, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Even if you lose Yecheng, as long as the lord is still there, with the appeal of the lord, he will be able to make a comeback. ” Frustrated, it was a matter of giving Yuan Shao some face, so that he finally made up his mind.
After weighing it again and again, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It's up to you to prepare to abandon the city and break through." ” A few people were relieved, and immediately discussed a breakthrough strategy and went forward to prepare.
Everyone retired, and his stepwife Liu dared to enter.
"I've made up my mind to leave the city, I'll leave soon, so hurry up and get ready, lest you be in a hurry."
Yuan Shao flicked his warrant and said.
Liu's flower face changed, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Husband, do you really want Yecheng?"
"Not your good son yet."
Yuan Shao glared at him, and said angrily: "It's in vain that I trust him so much, I value him, he's good, the soldiers just don't come to save me, I think in vain that I was killed by a pottery thief, so he can inherit my family business, how can I let him get his wish." ” Liu's plump body trembled suddenly, and Hua Rong suddenly added a little surprise, and hurriedly defended his son: "No, Shang'er, he must have some difficulties, he is a filial child, and he will never dare to do this." ” "You don't have to defend him anymore, I'm tired, you can quickly get ready."
Yuan Shao waved his hand impatiently.
Liu had no choice but to retreat silently, and when he saw that there was no one around, he prayed in a low voice: "God, you must bless Shang'er with peace and security, and it is important to protect yourself first."
In the inner room, Liu's front foot only left, and Wen Chou's back foot entered through the side door, and arched his hand: "Lord, the secret passage has been dug up, does the lord really decide to let the city go?"
"Now, do we have any other choice" Yuan Shao shook his head with a wry smile.
Wen Chou was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's just that someone has to sacrifice this plan, Han Meng follows the lord, if he is sent to death like this, isn't it a little?"
"If you want to achieve great things, someone must sacrifice, if I wasn't forced to do this by the pottery thief, how could I bear it."
Yuan Shao said helplessly.
"However, the last general still feels it" Before Wen Chou could say anything more, Yuan Shao was already displeased and glared at him, "If you really can't bear it, you can go and sacrifice instead of Han Meng." ” Wen Chou's body was shocked, and he was completely silent, and he didn't say a word. isjgy:
