The chaos happened so quickly that many people did not react immediately, and the city gates were completely lost.
The mournful sound of the horn reverberated throughout the city, and the soldiers in the barracks in the city were awakened from their dreams and began to gather here.
Outside the city, the trace of the enemy army was no longer willing to be far away from them, and the mighty figures were densely packed under the moonlight, mixed in the night, so that for a while, it was impossible to tell how many enemies there were.
"Quick, stop them, you guys, put the drawbridge away for me."
On the city wall, the captain didn't say anything, but the other captains had already begun to shout.
The lieutenant, who had been ordered earlier, walked to the winch that controlled the drawbridge with a strange smile on his face.
The lieutenant who was commanding the soldiers saw him coming over in such a leisurely state, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yan, don't come and help quickly" "Help" Zhao Yan smiled and kept approaching, shaking his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary."
"He Yi" The captain on the other side felt a pang in his heart, and he had already sensed a dangerous aura from Zhao Yan.
The "Qiang" sword light lit up, and in the incredible gaze of the captain, Zhao Yan cut his throat with a sword.
"Ho" The captain's eyes widened, he pulled out half of the sword and fell down, and fell to the ground without looking at it, Zhao Yan's martial arts are obviously more than a little stronger than him, but the speed of this sword is extremely difficult for him to shoot.
"General Zhao, why are you" The surrounding group of soldiers looked at Zhao Yan in amazement, a little puzzled, but more vigilant.
"Put the drawbridge down" The blood-dripping long sword was pointed at the throat of a chief who was struggling to pull the winch, and the smile on Zhao Yan's face was gradually replaced by coldness.
"General Zhao, do you have to betray the lord" Nashi Chang let go of his hand unwillingly, and the suspension bridge, which had been half-rolled up, lost traction and fell again.
"Betrayal" Zhao Yan shook his head a little funny: "When have I ever been loyal to him?"
Returning the sword to the sheath, Zhao Yan looked around, and said indifferently: "Everyone, don't say that I didn't remind you, you are Nanyang soldiers, but you are also soldiers of the Han Dynasty, in the past, Yuan Shu nominally belonged to the imperial court, and it was okay to serve him, but now Yuan Shu committed a rebellion, killed the three dukes without permission, the court asked, and even more openly raised troops to rebel, this is a rebellion, the imperial court army has arrived, that proves that Zhang Xun is finished, the city gate has been broken, do you still want to make a mistake to the end, and be loyal to the Yuan Shu traitor?"
"General Zhao, you" A group of soldiers around him who wanted to make a move looked at Zhao Yan blankly.
Zhao Yan took out an iron plate from his arms and said loudly: "I am a secret agent of the imperial court, and I originally came to investigate Yuan Shu's rebellion, but now it seems that there is no need to investigate, the heavenly soldiers have arrived, the city gate has been broken, put down your weapons, I will keep you safe."
"I will follow the general to the death" crowd, rushed out of more than a dozen soldiers, all of whom were Zhao Yan's personal followers developed in Nanyang, for them, loyalty to the court or loyalty to Yuan Shu, after all, for the low-level soldiers, it just like that, it doesn't matter, but Zhao Yan is good to them, they are willing to follow Zhao Yan.
The scene was a stalemate for a while, but it didn't last long, and when Li Yan led his men and horses to the city wall, this short stalemate was immediately broken.
Li Yan's martial arts are not bad, a spear in his hand makes Huo Huo angry, on the aisle of the city wall of Xiazhai, but it does not affect his development, plus the main general is killed, these Nanyang soldiers who want to recapture the city gate can't resist at all, and they are defeated and retreated by Li Yan, but this moment of kung fu has been killed on the city wall.
It's just that the situation on the city wall made him a little surprised, weirdly calm, around the winch that controlled the drawbridge, was protected by more than a dozen people, the first one, it seemed that he was still a Nanyang general, but the surrounding was surrounded by a large number of Nanyang troops, the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, but this stalemate, with Li Yan's killing, was broken in an instant.
Under the city gate, the soldiers and horses brought by Li Yan had already arrived, and they quickly poured into the city gate, and the sound of fighting began to sound in the city.
A Nanyang soldier threw away the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground silently, although he did not speak, his attitude had already shown everything.
The effect of example at any time is endless, and with the first soldier kneeling and surrendering, there will naturally be a second and a third.
Although there were also people who wanted to resist, as more and more elites of the imperial court entered the city and even began to pour onto the city walls, under this pressure, more and more people surrendered.
In the end, on the entire city wall, only a dozen people such as Zhao Yi were left who did not kneel.
"You have to resist" Li Yan's eyes fell on Zhao Yan and frowned.
Zhao Yan waved his hand, signaled his entourage behind him to put away his weapons, and shook his head silently.
"Then why don't you descend" Li Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, when he killed him just now, he was a little puzzled, the people on the city wall seemed to be divided into two groups, it seemed that there was a civil strife, but seeing that the other party was calm and relaxed, he did not come up to ask for merit like other generals, it seemed a little different.
Zhao Yan didn't speak, his hand turned over, and there was already a cyan brand in his hand, the carving was quite delicate, not only had a dragon pattern on it, but also had a strange symbol, which made Li Yan even more puzzled.
"Do you recognize him" Zhao Yan looked at Li Yan and asked with a smile.
Shaking his head, he had never seen anything before.
"Looks like you're not qualified enough."
Zhao Yan sighed, looked behind Li Yan and said, "Your Majesty asked you to come, and there should be someone with you, let him come to see me." ” This is very polite, almost talking to Li Yan in an attitude of command, which makes Li Yan very dissatisfied, but his heart is dark, before he set out on the expedition, Liu Xie did send a messenger to accompany him, along the way, he did not manage the army, nor did he say much to him, very taciturn, at that time Li Yan was still wondering whether this was sent by the Son of Heaven to supervise him, or sent to control him, but at this moment, looking at Zhao Yan, he seemed to understand a little.
"Someone, please come with the Overseer."
Li Yan immediately said to a person behind him.
"Whoa" "What is this order" Looking at Zhao Yan who was playing with the cyan token in his hand with a relaxed face, Li Yan couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Yan raised his eyelids, looked at Li Yan and said, "There are some things that I will let you know when you should know." ” Li Yan was blocked by him and couldn't speak, and after a while, under the leadership of his entourage, he came to the city wall, and when he saw the cyan token in Zhao Yan's hand, his face changed, and in Li Yan's surprised gaze, he took out the other side of the same cyan token from his arms, which was almost identical, but it seemed that the symbols engraved on it were different.
Seeing this person's token, Zhao Yan took back his token and arched his hand towards the other party, but it didn't look like the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
"Overseer, this is" Li Yan was a little confused, although he had already seen that this Zhao official was obviously his own person, but there was a sense of mystery.
"It's Nanyang, go back with me to face the saint."
The Overseer said towards Zhao.
"These brothers have followed me for a long time, and they are also their own people, can they be taken away together" Zhao Yan looked at the dozen or so soldiers who followed him around him, and said helplessly.
"Yes."
Nodding, the Overseer turned his head to look at Li Yan, and arched his hand: "This is the case, I will go back to report to Your Majesty, and I will leave here." ” "This person is" Li Yan looked at the Overseer suspiciously, it could be that he accompanied him all the way, in order to connect with this person "It's inconvenient for the general to know about this."

Shaking his head, he didn't pay attention to Li Yan anymore, took Zhao Yan and more than a dozen soldiers, quickly went down to the city, and did not stay in the city, and quickly left the city and rushed towards the Wuyang area overnight.
It wasn't until the two of them left that Li Yan cleaned up his mood and continued to preside over the occupation, and at the same time recruited a few soldiers who had been guarding here to ask about Zhao Yan.
After a long time, Li Yancai smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that Your Majesty has already planned, and today is without me, and this Wancheng will also be destroyed." t1706231537:
