Wang Yan stood outside the west gate, listening to the killing cries coming from the city, and he was looking forward to it. This battle has finally come to an end. "Crossbowmen, prepare!" Outside the west gate, the general leading the army shouted loudly. Soon, the west gate opened with a creak, and a group of soldiers quickly rushed out of the city gate. "The enemy is coming, shoot the arrows!" The order was given, and the crossbowmen who had already lined up and prepared pulled the trigger. ?A feather arrow as thick as a little finger was shot through the air. The power and speed of crossbow arrows are far stronger than those of bows and arrows, and their lethality is doubled. After the first wave of crossbow arrows were fired, most of the first wave of Jizhou soldiers who rushed out were killed or wounded in an instant. This scene frightened the Jizhou soldiers into chaos. The crossbows are still going on! The biggest flaw is the limited number of crossbow arrows. At this time, another general ordered: "Archers, prepare!" "Let go!" With the order, in an instant, one archer after another stepped forward. In a blink of an eye, there was a crazy sound of bows and arrows piercing the air. "Whoosh! Whoosh!" The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and kept shooting at the Jizhou soldiers who rushed out of the city gate. Jushou led 10,000 soldiers to break out from the west gate. As soon as his soldiers went out, they were shot mercilessly by feather arrows before they could even get ten steps away. As soon as the soldiers under his command rushed out, they were shot back by a hail of arrows. The offensive was defeated once again. "Wang Yan has already set up a dragnet outside the city, and the gates in all directions are the same. It may be difficult to break out of the city this time." Jushou used his brain to find a solution to the problem. However, the fire was raging behind him and the soldiers under his command were restless. For a while, Jushou could not think of a solution. With enemy troops resisting in front and a sea of ??fire spreading behind, Jushou was already in a dilemma. "Everything is your own fault." Jushou sighed in his heart. If Yuan Shao had not used the strategy of burning Pingyuan City, Wang Yan would not have followed his plan. "Sir, what should I do if I can't rush out?" The captain in the army repeatedly organized soldiers to rush out, but the several charges failed. "Sir, the soldiers at the back are caught in the sea of ??fire. The fire is getting closer and closer to us. If we don't rush out, we will definitely die." "Sir, please make a decision quickly!" "Sir, I still have my wife, children and parents at home, and I don't want to die. Here it is." Each of the soldiers spoke, with painful expressions in their eyes. Jushou¡¯s expression was extremely confusing. If he was forced by Wang Yan alone, he would not surrender, but at this moment, the lives of countless soldiers were carried on his shoulders, making Jushou breathless. Jushou took a deep breath and ordered: "Let the soldiers throw away their weapons outside the city and surrender." With the sound of surrender, Jushou sighed, he was finally going to surrender. Will he be the first to surrender? Jushou¡¯s mood was extremely complicated. Surrounded by soldiers, Ju Shou walked out in a daze. Wang Yan looked at the Jizhou soldiers rushing out from outside the west gate with sharp eyes. He made arrangements early, and even if the Jizhou army continued to break through, it would be of no avail. Suddenly, Wang Yan heard the words of the Jizhou soldiers surrendering, and even saw the Jizhou soldiers throwing away their weapons. Seeing this, Wang Yan ordered: "Accept the surrender!" When the war started, Wang Yan didn't know which direction Yuan Shao was taking to break out. Accepting Ximen's surrender would be of great benefit to blocking Yuan Shao's subsequent breakout. The troops outside the west gate stopped attacking, while the Jizhou soldiers threw away their weapons and ran quickly outside the city. They had just escaped from the sea of ????fire, but they were surrounded again. Not long after, Ju Shou was brought to Wang Yan. Facing Wang Yan, Ju Shou cupped his hands and said, "The defeated general Ju Shou has seen the king's governor." Wang Yan narrowed his eyes, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that it was Ju Shou who was leading the troops. Wang Yan said: "Ju Gong is outstanding in talent and full of strategies. I have admired him for a long time." Ju Shou said, neither humble nor arrogant, "We were defeated at the hands of the king's governor. How could he have any strategies?" "Being defeated by me does not mean that he has any strategies." You can't. This may be because of Yuan Shao." Wang Yan changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Ju used the west gate to break through. So, who led the troops from the other gates?" Ju Shou replied, "From the east gate?" The lord led the army in person? Tian Feng took the south gate, and Zhang Zha took the north gate. "Wang Yan said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ju!" At this moment, a scout ran away quickly. Come over and report: "Sir, Zhang Jia led the army out of the north gate.?Surrender. Now, Zhang Zhan's troops are under control. " Wang Yan nodded and said: "I have ordered Guan Hai to temporarily station at the north gate and not to move the army. " "No! " After receiving the order, the scout turned around to convey the order. Jushu said: "Wang Prefect has learned that his lord is at the east gate, won't he lead his army there? Wang Yan smiled slightly and replied: "Of course I have to lead the army there, but what if Yuan Shao cannot break through the east gate and withdraws into the city and uses other gates to break out?" Although a fire broke out in the city, and the probability of retreating to other gates after going to the east gate was low, future troubles must be eliminated to prevent Yuan Shao from escaping. " "Report! " The horses galloped, and another scout rushed back quickly. The scout reported: " Sir, the Jizhou army led by Tian Feng at the south gate has all surrendered. Now, Tian Feng and the Jizhou Army under his command have all been controlled. "Wang Yan ordered: "Send the order, the army will not move, and will be stationed at the south gate temporarily. " "No! "The scout turned around and quickly went to convey the order. Wang Yan left a group of soldiers to garrison at the west gate, and leaving Ju Shou and his troops in place, he led his main force towards the east gate. The commander of the east gate is Huang Zhong, the soldiers under his command were the elite of the army. In order to prevent the Jizhou soldiers from breaking out, Huang Zhong arranged for crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, shield soldiers, and some cavalry to set up a line of defense outside the east gate. Even if Jizhou soldiers occasionally break out of the defense line, they cannot escape pursuit. At the same time, the fire in the city is spreading, which makes Yuan Shao and his Jizhou soldiers uncomfortable. "My lord, the Qingzhou soldiers are too elite. Our soldiers couldn't rush out, and even if there were soldiers who rushed out, they were all killed. " Yan Liang stood next to Yuan Shao, looking embarrassed. His shoulder was hit by a bow and arrow, and it was dripping with blood. The blood stained the clothes on his shoulder red. But the situation was critical, and Yan Liang had no time to deal with the injury. Wen Chou was guarding Yuan Shao. He looked tired and charged repeatedly without success. "My lord, the soldiers in the city are under fire. There were blazing coals under the city wall, steam was steaming in the urn city, and the soldiers couldn't rush out, and they could hardly stand it any longer. Some soldiers are going to mutiny, lord, we can't suppress them anymore. " In addition to the troops led by Tian Feng, Zhang Jia and Jushu, Yuan Shao also had tens of thousands of troops under his command. All these tens of thousands of troops were blocked in the city and could not rush out. In the event of internal strife, the situation would be very dangerous. Yuan Shao looked anxious and his troops could not rush out. , He was about to be burned by fire. What should he do? Yuan Shao asked, "Guo Tu, is there anything you can do?" " Guo Tu shook his head and said: "My lord, even in my humble position I can't think of a solution. "At this time, even Guo Tu has no solution and can only wait for death. "Do you really want to surrender? "Yuan Shao has no way to escape, and such thoughts arise deep in his heart. After all, there is no way out now, both inside and outside. "Send the order and surrender! " Yuan Shao sighed softly and made the most helpless decision. Unable to let the soldiers rush out, Yuan Shao had no choice but to surrender. No matter what, he had to save his life first. When Wang Yan led his army to the east gate, he encountered Yuan Shao's command. The soldiers surrendered. Seeing Huang Zhong accept all the Jizhou soldiers, Wang Yan had a bright smile on his face. This battle was won! Not long after, Yuan Shao was brought to Wang Yan, who looked at the embarrassed Yuan Shao. He said: "Brother Benchu, are you okay? "
