Chapter 545: Conquering Yecheng

The night changed, which woke the tired defenders from their sleep for a day. Just like a common battle in ancient times, the sudden attack of the Dragon Que Camp had the same effect as the bombing of the camp. The shouts of the soldiers in Youzhou in the distance showed that the army outside the city was still coming continuously.

The soldiers in Youzhou behind brought the siege ladder to help the Longque Camp enter the interior of Yecheng. The rockets illuminated the sky. Many Youzhou soldiers directly placed the siege ladder on the city wall. This was a siege at night, which was something that the soldiers surrendered in Yecheng could not do. In the darkness, the soldiers in the Longque Camp who rushed in could not even wait for the siege ladder behind them. They climbed up the shore along the river, while being alert, while pulling up the comrades behind them.

In just a short time, thousands of soldiers from the Dragon Crow Camp landed. In the darkness, Cao Gan seemed very excited. It seemed that the entire city was trembling under his own military force and screamed loudly, "The Jinming Gate has been broken, and a hundred thousand troops are coming continuously. If the soldiers in Yecheng dare to resist, they will be dead."

Sima Ji just followed the secret of Chang Gong's military strategy and asked him to protect himself as much as possible. When it was dawn, he would drive the surrendered soldiers in Yecheng to attack the city. It would be fine if he thought so. Everything was to preserve his strength first. As for how many surrendered soldiers died, what was the problem? In war, there was no one who could not die. Just the direct line was enough to die.

However, as a general who charges, Cao Gan obviously has different thinking from his lord. This time, he did not have awe and reverence to cause trouble. All the credit belongs to their Dragon Cruise Camp. The greater the credit, the better, and the fewer people who share the money, the better. If you have the possibility of conquering Yecheng independently, why should you wait for others to share the debt?

The 100,000 army is naturally exaggerated, but many soldiers in the darkness don’t know what’s going on. Even the soldiers of the Longque Camp thought that what their commander said was true and fought harder. However, when this was released, it was scary enough in the dark night when the Dragon Que Camp itself was unable to see its fingers. In addition, the Longque Camp itself had a strong combat power, it quickly controlled the city wall near Jinming Gate.

The soldiers of the defenders were shocked when they heard this. Some soldiers did not dare to resist and turned around to escape, not wanting to be cut from here again. The sudden attack shocked the entire Yecheng.

The Yecheng defenders insisted hard, but they had the mentality of other vassal kings who could come to rescue them. In addition, the tall and thick city walls of Yecheng were protected. Now that the city walls have been broken, the enemy has entered the city, and the psychological defense line of the defenders has been defeated in an instant.

Especially in the eyes of the soldiers who survived the battle a few days ago and followed Sima Yong back to Yecheng, the Longque Camp's self-reported home was even more disgusting. The soldiers' persistence was shattered, and there was no combat power at all.

In the face of life and death decisions, more people will choose to survive. Even if they can only live one more day, they will still be alive. Even if they are killed by the King of Yan, wouldn’t they still have time to say goodbye to their family?

If Sima Ji knew what these defenders thought, he would definitely sneer in his heart, not to regret his reputation. Instead, this idea was simply a mistake. He could conclude that if he no longer had Yecheng, even the Youzhou army he brought up with him would accidentally open a butcher knife at Yecheng.

If you don’t follow me, the emperor is far away. Who can guarantee that if you hit his subordinates in a hurry, you won’t use the butcher knife? Is it so difficult to understand that killing people to vent their anger? This will not happen because both sides are from Jin. The soldiers in Youzhou and Yecheng do not know each other. They are just strangers. What psychological burden does kill strangers have on the soldiers who lick blood on the edge of the knife?

To be honest, the cavalry sent out now, if the war is not going well, what can Sima Ji do if he knows it? It's not so good, and he may still stare at me. Although it's a little cruel, this is the fact. However, because the soldiers of Youzhou have a certain cultural foundation, such a thing will be a little smaller. If Yecheng invades Youzhou, it might have happened long ago.

The most intense battle was as Sima Ji guessed, near Tongquetai, with enough troops nearby. Lu Lang personally came to the battle formation to command the nearby troops to counterattack. On the one hand, Lu Lang believed that this was true. On the other hand, it was for the sake of consolidating the morale of the army. He did not know whether the soldiers would be killed after the city was destroyed. However, as the confidant of the King of Hejian, he caused such great losses to the siege army. He was almost on the list of death. He could never surrender. Even if he died directly on the battlefield, he might even be able to save his family from being implicated.

At this time, even Sima Yong knew that the army outside the city had already attacked the city. When he walked out of the palace and looked from a distance, there had been a fire in the direction of Zhangshui, and many houses were ignited. The sound of fighting came faintly, and he couldn't help but feel cold.

He didn't know how many enemy troops would attack Yecheng. What if there were too many people? Thinking of this, Sima Yong made up his mind and ordered the closing of the inner city gate of Yecheng, and not only ignored the fighting outside and continued to defend the battle.

"Go to the inner city and capture Sima Yong alive!" The Longque Camp led the Youzhou soldiers who entered the city to attack fiercely for half an hour, killing many enemies, but the enemy's resistance was also very strong. No matter how many soldiers in Yecheng were, there were only a few elite soldiers left in Yecheng. After many years of guarding Yecheng, Sima Yong still had such a little prestige. Although these fighting soldiers did not know that their lord chose to be a turtle again when the disaster came.

When the soldiers who went to the inner city to ask for help conveyed the news that the city gate was closed to Lu Lang, Lu Lang almost turned his back and sighed that he had been entrusted by the pirate ship. With such a lord, defeat was destined.

The entire Yecheng was in chaos. When the army outside the city entered Yecheng, those who were interested immediately did their best to create chaos. As a northern city, how could Yecheng not be noticed by Sima Ji? It was just that he hoped to lurk in the early stage, and the idea of ​​conquering Yecheng was too fantasy, so he never cared about it.

But at this moment, when the army attacked Yecheng at night, these lurking people remembered their mission, and at the critical moment, they fought back, created chaos, burned houses, and put the entire Yecheng into a state of headless flies. No one knew how many enemy troops were coming, but looking at the place where the fire seemed to be everywhere.

Looking at the Longque Camp step by step and the chaos in the city, Lu Lang sighed heavily. The fall of Yecheng should be inevitable. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the King of Hejian was not responsible at all, and sealed the inner city and continued to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle.

But the inner city is far less than the entire Yecheng. How long can the King of Hejian last? Even if the King of Yan does not use his sword, he will finish the food in the inner city within half a month. How can he persist?

The fight lasted until dawn. In fact, from the beginning of gaining a foothold, Cao Qian no longer used his subordinates' lives to exchange for wealth and glory. The King of Yan was right, and it was indeed not so easy to conquer, but the main reason was that he had heard from the prisoners that the inner city had been closed and it was useless for him to conquer the outer city.

It must be to do your best to take a step back. Cao Gan deeply understood the essence of King Yan's military strategy at this time. Everything is to preserve its strength first. When dawn, everything will be settled.

When the horn of the siege sounded around Yecheng, the crowd of sieges was almost unresisted. In the face of chaos inside and enemies outside, the Yecheng defenders could not do more. They could only sit and watch the enemy soldiers climb the city walls, and the fifteen gates of the outer city were lost.

"The King of Yan ordered you to put down your weapons and do not blame me." The surrendered soldiers, who were also a member of the Yecheng army, spoke one after another, hoping to let the comrades of Gordo put down their weapons and end this absurd killing.

Before the city gate that was filled to death was opened, the entire Yecheng was already controlled, and there were surrendered soldiers who threw away their weapons begging for life everywhere. As for Lu Lang, he got what he wanted and was worthy of Sima Yong's death on the battlefield.

A huge carriage, under the escort of the Jinwei heavy cavalry, entered the Zhaode Gate on the east side of Yecheng. Around Zhaode Gate, the soldiers of Youzhou were carrying the bodies of the dead soldiers on both sides. They had never participated in the frontal siege. At this time, the fight was also a contribution to conquering Yecheng.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Wang Shaoyi, who was looking at it, closed his eyes unbearably, hugged Sima Ji's hand and said softly, "Many people have died, so many."

"It's much lighter than the melee of the Three Kingdoms back then. The so-called rivers and mountains are made of blood, while the mountains are made of white bones." Sima Ji comforted softly, "This is inevitable, and we can only find ways to make them die more meaningful. If Yecheng can have a hundred years of stability after this battle, they will not die in vain."

Sima Ji was wearing a big red robe, so he decided to change it before entering the city. Even if there were many casualties and injuries, it would be a great joy to conquer Yecheng. As for the inner city, the area of ​​the inner city is not easy to defend. Besides, does the other party still have troops? If someone persuades surrender again this time, the defenders of the inner city must seriously consider it.

In fact, when he entered the city, many surrendered soldiers had already begun to persuade the defenders of the inner city to surrender. The entire defenders of the inner city were panicked. This time, the encirclement of the inner city was completely different from the previous siege. Ye City itself was huge, and even a hundred thousand soldiers could not be completely surrounded. Otherwise, what would Sima Ji do to dig a trench? The inner city was completely different. As long as the defenders in the city looked at the enemy troops surging on the street, they would feel a little afraid to fight.
