Allied camp, in front of the gate.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

"Bang bang bang!"

From the moment the Xiliang army surrounded the camp, the defenders on the city tower began to shoot arrows.

During this period, as long as the Xiliang soldiers approached the gate, the defenders immediately pushed down the rolling stones that had been prepared and the steaming hot ignition oil boiling water, which poured down.

However, just as the defenders were busy and actively guarding the camp, the Xiliang army that had completed the encirclement of the camp did not immediately attack the city, but instead surrounded it without attacking. So far, they had not received the order from the head coach Li Li.

It is not difficult to see from this that the Allied soldiers trapped in the camp at this moment have become frightened birds, and they are as afraid of the Western Liang army as a tiger. It is self-evident how powerful they are.

Since they were cowardly before fighting and had no fighting spirit, they did not know why the soldiers of the Allied defenders had not opened the city to surrender, and were still making final resistance, which was also unnecessary resistance.

Since the war, hundreds of thousands of allied troops on the original main battlefield of Loudi have fled and fled. Yuan Shao, the leader who retreated to the camp early, has also led his troops to abandon the camp and flee. At this point, the allied troops of the princes are truly desperate and have already been defeated.

Looking around, the entire Loudi original battlefield was filled with Allied soldiers fleeing in a hurry, as well as Western Liang cavalry riding horses to pursue prisoners of war. Among them, there were almost no battle flags of the Allied princes and generals, and the flags floating in the air were all the general flags of the Western Liang army.

In this case, the defenders on the city tower would not be invisible. On the contrary, they looked far higher than the Xiliang army under the city. There was no flag of the Allied generals on the huge battlefield, let alone the flag of the princes. What this means, as long as they are not fools, they would not know.

All of this in front of him told the soldiers of the camp that were cruel and unavoidable: the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao ran away, and all the princes ran away, and even hundreds of generals in the allied army ran away without a trace, and the princes were completely defeated!

At this time of great defeat, hundreds of thousands of princes' army had already scattered in birds and beasts, and they were running in a hurry, and the situation was over. The defeat had already been achieved. The princes' army was still defeated by the Xiliang army, let alone their guards' soldiers?

Therefore, everything they guarding the camp now is meaningless, and any resistance is in vain. Apart from unnecessary increase in casualties, it cannot change anything at all. It is even more impossible to stop the torrent of the Western Liang army's iron hoof sweeping through all the iron hoofs.

"The soldiers obey orders and ride and shoot to suppress the guards' crossbows!"

"The camp obeys the orders and attacks the city——!"

With the call, Li Li jumped out of the formation, drew out the Emperor's Sword, pointed directly at the gate of the camp, and ordered the army to attack the city.

"Da da da da da shog swog swog!"

With Li Li's order, more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalrymen in front of the garrison's gate jumped out of their horses. They all put their bows on their strings and then spread out to their wings. The horses ran towards the Allied Camp, and then flashed left and right, sprinting on their bows.

In an instant, tens of thousands of sharp arrows and arrows roared straight towards the defenders on the city tower, as if a dark cloud suddenly arrived, harvesting fearful lives.

Amid the sound of "bang bang", two thousand heavy armored infantrymen in the formation led to the formation with giant shields and spears, raised the giant shield above their heads to form a barrier that was not transparent to block the whirlwind rain of arrows and steadily advanced towards the gate of the camp.

Following the heavy armored infantry were more than twenty well railings and three city-storming cars carrying huge city-slamming woods.

At the same time, more than fifty catapults slowly pushed into the front of the central army, and then burning turbulent oil tanks roared into the air and smashed hard towards the Yuanmen Tower.

These catapults were siege weapons that survived after the initial confrontation at the decisive battle; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as fruitless.

"Go forward to the well railing, the giant shield superimposed formation!"

With a loud shout, Gao Shun, the commander of the camp, led more than a hundred personal soldiers to push a well railing to the front of the Yuanmen City Tower. Then, under the cover of three thousand cavalrymen, the heavy armored infantry that had approached the Yuanmen Camp moved when they heard the sound. But they saw that the five hundred heavy armored giant shield soldiers in front knelt on the ground around the well railing and carried the giant shield on their backs. Then the three hundred armored soldiers stepped up quickly on the giant shield, and then squatted around the well railing, and they also knelt on one knee on the giant shield at the bottom layer, forming the second layer of giant shield formation. Immediately afterwards, two hundred armored soldiers in the third team stepped on the second layer of giant shields to form the third layer, and then one hundred armored soldiers formed the fourth layer, the fifth layer, the sixth layer, and the stacked in turn.

The six-story giant shield superposition arrays all revolve around the well railings leaning against the walls of the city tower. Each floor is only four feet high, with front high and then low, like a steep slope, and the well railing is the main peak of this steep slope. After the formation is completed, the giant shield array is only five feet away from the city tower. Any soldier can step on the giant shield array and rush up the city tower.

"Quick, hurry, hurry up, rush up to the city tower and seize the gate!"

The moment the formation was completed, Gao Shun waved his hand and the five hundred light-armored soldiers hidden under the shield of the heavy armored infantry moved in response. Then he stepped on the giant shield like a steep slope and leaped onto the city tower, and fought a desperate battle with the defenders.

At the same time, the rocks on the city tower fell like rain, and the boiling water in the oil pan poured down more than ten times one after another. However, the soldiers of the army who formed the formation relied on the well railing to hold on to the formation and finally sent 500 soldiers to the city tower. Although dozens of light-armed soldiers were stabbed to death by the defenders' guns when they jumped on the stairs, most of the soldiers climbed up the city tower and fought with the defenders as soon as they jumped onto the tower.

After the light-mounted soldiers climbed the city tower, the sixth floor of the uppermost formation soldier jumped onto the stairs, and then when the fourth floor of the lower part suddenly rose several feet, the fifth floor soldier turned over and jumped onto the city tower. At this point, the mission of the giant shield superimposed formation was announced to be completed.

When the heavy armored infantry formed the formation retreated, there were only more than 700 armored soldiers who were originally more than 1,000 armored soldiers safely, more than 300 armored soldiers were injured, and more than 100 armored soldiers died in exhaustion.

At the same time, Gao Shun commanded the remaining infantry to attack the gate. Three rushing cars hit the gate in turn under the cover of giant shield soldiers, causing the heavy gate to clatter.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Just as the siege was in full swing, the Yuan Shao flag on the gate tower was suddenly cut off, and then a quick and crisp sound of gold was heard.

"Uh! What is this? Could it be that the defenders want to open the city and surrender?"

When he saw a drastic change on the city tower, Li Li, who was in charge of the central army, was surprised and said in disbelief.

"That's right!" Guo Jia affirmed with joy after hearing the sound.

Then, he pointed to two scribes in long robes standing in the middle of the city tower surrounded by many soldiers and said to Li Li: "Look, please look at the two scribes, among the two scribes, Xun Chen and Xun Youruo, a famous scribe in Yingchuan, and Guo Tu and Guo Gongze on the right. If the Wei Mean expected it was right, these two should be the chief officers of the defenders. Therefore, at this moment, they were disorganized when they saw that our soldiers had already climbed the city tower, and hurriedly cut off Yuan Shao's flag and tried to turn on and surrender. I wonder what the lord wanted?"

"Would you like to surrender the switch?" Li Li's expression changed slightly. After pondering, he sneered and said, "It was arrogant at first and respectful at the other end, and he would not cry until he saw the coffin! Why didn't he surrender before? Now our army has climbed the city tower, so they stood up to surrender?

However, it is okay to surrender at this time. We are happy to see it happen, but our army will not stop siege. Since they want to open the city and surrender, we will prove their sincerity with practical actions and open the gate immediately! There is no other way. The situation of our army's attack is very good. If we continue, it will take less than half an hour to capture the gate. At that time, they will not be able to surrender or not. If they do not surrender, they will die!"

"Uh, I'm sending someone to shout, I guess they will follow the orders of the lord." Guo Jia originally wanted to plead for Xun Chen and Guo Tu, but after seeing the unquestionable expression on Li Li's face, he immediately gave up this thought and respectfully took the order and left.

Watching Guo Jia leave, Li Li raised his eyes to the Yuanmen Tower and pondered: "Xun Chen, Guo Tu? They are all famous Yingchuan celebrities, and Yuan Benchu ​​is quite relied on to be a guest. Why didn't he follow Yuan Shao this time?"

After hearing the sound, Jia Xu rode his horse to Li Li and asked softly: "Lord, suspect there is a fraud?"

"It shouldn't be." Li Li shook his head slightly, a calm smile appeared on his face, and said in harmony: "These two are both scholars. Even though they have some strategies, they have no ability to command troops to fight. At this time when the Allies are defeated, even if they have the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, they are still powerless to turn the world. Therefore, these two are not afraid of it, and they should sincerely ask for surrender. After all, if they want to surrender at this time, they still have a glimmer of hope. If our army breaks through the camp, the lives of these two people will be difficult to protect."

Jia Xu's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Guo Jia who was calling someone, and said suspiciously: "I heard the implicit meaning of the lord, and it seems that he doesn't want to surrender these two people, and he is interested in killing them?"

Li Li nodded slightly, and said in a very unkind tone: "I believe that these two people will definitely be unable to escape the relationship between the collapse of the pit. If this is true, what is the use of a person with such a vicious mind? Even if he is quite talented, Li would not bother to use it. Since it is useless to keep it, what's the point of killing it?"

"Well, what the lord said is very true." Jia Xu nodded happily, and then thought about it: "If everything is as expected by the lord, I also agree with this method. However, as far as I know, Xun Chen in Yingchuan is famous, honest and generous, so he became a guest of honor for Yuan Shao and was highly appreciated. According to this person's background and nature, the poisonous plan in the pit should have nothing to do with him, so this person can still be used. As for Guo Tu, this person is Fengxiao's brother. Although he is not a relative, he is from the same clan and family, and has a lineage. Therefore, I beg the lord to hand over the full power of this matter to Fengxiao. No matter what the result is, at least we will not have a rift. I wonder what the lord wants to do?"

After hesitating, Li Li nodded and smiled, "Well, Wenhe's words are exactly what I want, so let's do it. It is said that Fengxiao had a strong personal relationship with the Xun brothers and had the same clan as Guo Tu. It is indeed the most appropriate to hand over this matter to him. Wenhe is calm in dealing with things and should be a successful person to plan the country. This is my blessing for Li Li. Hahaha."
