Chapter 996 The Decaying Cry

Seeing that there was only a thin layer of clouds left over the city, Wei Yan felt that the fire was almost ready, so he waved his hands and shouted: "Let those prisoners call me according to the plan!"

As soon as the order was given, the prisoners began to cry, "Brothers, surrender, don't fight this battle again, what's the point of fighting to death, the common people on the side of the King of Han have land, and they don't pay excessive taxes. Only the [-]th basic agricultural tax, disarmed and returned to the fields, have children, and never suffer from hunger.”

"Brothers, on the side of the King of Han, everyone can study. The government has set up a school, and children can study for free for three years. Our descendants can also have a higher level of advancement."

"Brothers, let's not fight anymore. We fight back and forth. If we die, we don't even have a pension. How can we survive with orphans and mothers at home!"

These are all taught along the way. When they shouted at the beginning, they were in a mess, and Chen Deng and others on the top of the city didn't know what they were shouting. When Chen Deng heard it clearly, his face turned pale, his throat became sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a 'poof'.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you!" A group of people rushed to support the crumbling Chen Deng.

Chen Deng smiled miserably, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth indiscriminately, "Xiapi, it's over!"

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Let those captives deliver the siege equipment!" The last trace of cloud at the top of the city has also dissipated, showing that morale has dropped. The reason why no one has put down their weapons to surrender or escape is only a leader or a signal. That's all.

Seeing this, Wei Yan no longer hesitated, "Siege the city!"

With an order, the [-] troops that had been prepared in advance began to rush towards Xiapi City in an orderly manner, with heavy shield soldiers holding heavy shields leading the way.

These heavy shield soldiers guarded the engineers who were responsible for erecting the pontoon bridge, and pushed the huge iron cart. On the iron cart, there was a long iron ladder protruding about 20 meters in front, and it was all balanced by the counterweight at the back.

On the top of the city, there was constant shouting and shouting of arrows, but the rain of arrows shot down was dripping, as if the urinary tract was blocked, and there was no lethality at all.

And [-] huge river-crossing ladders were pushed into the moat, splashing huge splashes of water, and the troops carrying the siege ladders rushed up with shouts.

Seeing that the moat did not play any role and the siege ladder was built on the city wall without any hindrance, Chen Deng waved away the crowd, pulled out the sword he was carrying from his waist and hung it across his neck with a hissing sound. Roaring loudly: "My Chen family is the descendant of Liu Xu, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I have inherited the glory of my ancestors and been prestige for generations. The humble ones are the same, this is a humiliation to our gentry, a humiliation to our ancestors, our gentry will never share the world with the grassroots."

After all, Chen Deng slammed the sword in his hand. The sword broke through the thin layer of flesh in the neck and cut open the throat artery. Blood gushed out like money. Chen Deng stared wide-eyed. Give up your status as a nobleman, and never let yourself die at the hands of the humble!

For a while, the city was quiet, and the people around Chen Deng looked at Chen Deng's body, and the arrogance raised in their hearts as a nobleman was completely aroused.

If there is a glimmer of hope, for the sake of family inheritance, they can also sacrifice their reputation and sacrifice their lives, looking forward to a comeback, but now, looking at the situation of the Han army at the top of the city, the fall of Xiapi is a foregone conclusion.

With Wang Xuan's consistent way of doing things nowadays, if those small aristocratic families and local wealthy families still have a glimmer of life, there is absolutely no reason why they, the famous families that have truly passed on for more than a hundred years, will be spared.

This is a collision between the old and new systems, and there is no room for maneuver. In order to carry out the New Deal, Wang Xuan must completely destroy their big families, and their big families are absolutely unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. It can end with the complete annihilation of one side.

It's just that, now it seems that it's their side that failed.

Since there is no doubt that he must die, how can he die so uselessly.

The gentry are the gentry, and they are by no means comparable to the grassroots. Even if they die, they must die heroically, and they must be buried with enough people. Otherwise, it is not enough to show the glory of their family, and it is not enough to show their uniqueness.

Such a status, this point, no matter ancient or modern, how can one die so aggrieved and humble.

A group of people returned home, and soon, when the gate of Xiapi city was opened wide, when Wei Yan led his people to rush into Xiapi city, a dozen big fires suddenly rose in the city.

Wei Yan's expression changed, and he pointed to the fire and asked someone beside him, "Where are those places?"

The person next to him is chubby, wearing a light blue shirt, with a smile on his face at all times, making people feel uneasy at first sight. This person is the person in charge of the intelligence department who has been ambushing in Xiapi for a long time. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Huotou, frowning slightly, "Where, it seems to be Xiapi Xu's mansion."

"Huh!" The man looked at several fires, his expression became weirder the more he looked at them, and finally sighed, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "These should be the residences of Xuzhou nobles. Not bad, they should have set themselves on fire."

Wei Yan frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. For some reason, there was a greasy feeling in his heart. It was like holding up a butcher knife, just about to kill the enemy, but found that the enemy had just died of old age...

This is so embarrassing.

Just at this time, someone came to the chubby rich middle-aged man to report something. The middle-aged man's face darkened suddenly, and he let out a cold snort heavily from his nose. It is too rare for him who is invisible.

Wei Yan also noticed the problem, and couldn't help but see to him that this person didn't hide anything, so he just repeated the words Chen Deng shouted on the top of the wall just now.

"Too much deceit!" Wei Yan was furious when he heard the words, which reminded him of his experiences before he joined Liu Bei.

He was born as one of those humble people that Chen Deng said. If it wasn't for his extraordinary talent, he finally joined the army and made some meritorious deeds with a knife and a gun, but he didn't even have the chance to read and write. But even so, his contributions are great. Part of it was taken away by those who were born into the family.

Otherwise, why was he dug out by Wang Xuan with a letter? It was not because he could only be a mere team commander. Even though his martial arts was already No. It was he who rushed to the front line to fight with soldiers, and then when he was rewarded for his merits, he could only share the meager credits, or, he was rewarded with some money.

In the final analysis, it was a question of his background, because he came from a humble background, no matter how many meritorious deeds he made, he would never have a chance to stand out, especially in a place like Jingzhou where there are many aristocratic families with deep roots.

Really, the more you think about it, the angrier you get, the more you think about it, the more you think about it...

"Ah!!!!" Wei Yan raised his head to the sky and screamed, a burst of gangster energy suddenly rose from his body, but he didn't know who to vent the raging anger in his chest. Those real big families have all burned themselves to death now, okay? Well, even the rest, Wei Yan can't let him down. After all, he is a member of the military, and he is not qualified to interfere in such political matters.

The separation of military and government is the national policy set by Wang Xuan, no matter how arrogant Wei Yan is, he dare not have the slightest thought of disobedience.

Can be so special!

Wei Yan grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the victory hook and jumped up from the horse. He slashed the sky with the big knife in his hand several times. Following Wei Yan's roar, for a moment, a huge knife tens of meters long was in Xiapi Shooting back and forth over the city, with strong winds blowing up, this crazy Wei Yan, in the eyes of ordinary people, is like a god descending from the earth, and the majestic power is not something that ordinary people can match.

After venting fiercely, Wei Yan let out a heavy breath, and fell down from the air with a black face onto the horse's back. At this moment, the rich middle-aged man's expression returned to his usual smiling face. After all, those who said this are dead Well, he can't argue with the dead, right? Wouldn't that make those high-ranking guys even more talkative?

The army began to enter the city. Although Xiapi was breached, it was rare to cause any confusion, that is, the chaos that would inevitably appear in the past and those who took the opportunity to cause chaos did not appear.

Speaking of which, this credit should be credited to Wei Yan. This guy just flew into the sky to vent his anger. He was indeed mighty, and he shocked all those who would have taken advantage of the fire. There is no difference, the ghost knows if it can be pinched and counted, anyway, isn’t it the same in the legend, if it is pinched and counted, it would be like lighting a lantern in a latrine-looking for shit.

Therefore, it is rare that there is no chaos at all in Xiapi City, and it was taken over so easily by Wei Yan.

After occupying Xiapi, Wei Yan fell silent. He did not start to attack the surrounding area arrogantly, because he knew that once Cao Cao got the news that Xiapi had been lost, he would definitely not let it go.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to strengthen the city defense and guard against Boss Cao.
