Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 340: Battle of Yecheng (Part )
The second year of Jian'an.

Yecheng.

The whole city was in deathly silence.

There was no one to be seen in the streets and alleys.

Every household closed their doors.

Even outside the governor's mansion, there was no one to be seen.

Only a little cold light could be seen faintly flashing on the courtyard wall.

Only the gate of the government office was wide open.

There was no one in sight at the door.

At the turn of the hours of Wei and Shen, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, when suddenly a shrill horn sounded in Yecheng.

The air in Yecheng seemed to freeze in an instant.

Thousands of city defense troops were integrated under the east and west city walls.

Everyone held a sharp blade in their hands, with bloodthirsty madness in their eyes.

As the leading general raised the spear in his hand and chopped it hard in the direction of the government office, thousands of city defense troops suddenly rushed out like a flood breaking through a dam.

The sound of their footsteps on the ground seemed to make the entire Yecheng shake and cry.

Inside the house, countless people hid at the door, holding pots and pans in their hands, watching the scene outside through the cracks in the door.

Some people were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

The woman held the baby, suppressing her crying.

Yuan Shang and Shen Pei rode tall horses, wearing armor, and rode to one side of the army.

Looking at the army's momentum, Yuan Shang felt quite high-spirited.

The army encountered no hindrance and fought their way to the governor's residence and the outer side of the government office.

The one who attacked the governor's residence was the commander of the city defense army, Jiang Yiqu, an old general of Yuan Shao.

He led two thousand city defense troops.

Seeing that the provincial mansion was empty, Jiang Yiqu's eyes moved slightly and he made a gesture with his right hand.

Suddenly, a hundred armored soldiers rushed out from behind him.

The ten of them held a piece of tree stump in their arms and rushed towards the wall of the governor's mansion.

Just as they rushed to the bottom of the courtyard wall, dozens of warriors also wearing armor suddenly appeared on the wall.

They held hammers.

They fell directly on the armored soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the courtyard wall.

The screams instantly resounded throughout the governor's office.

Dozens of warriors climbed up from the armored soldiers beneath them, and smashed the heads and chests of the armored soldiers around them with the hammers in their hands.

The sound of bang bang bang echoed throughout the governor's mansion.

When Jiang Yiqu saw this, he felt a chill in his heart.

However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Seeing hundreds of armored soldiers being slaughtered, Jiang Yiqu swung his spear.

Behind him, two thousand city defense soldiers rushed forward with shields raised high.

Just as he rushed to the courtyard wall, dozens of buckets of molten iron poured down on his head!
The shrill screams came one after another.

The shield soldiers threw away their shields and rolled on the ground.

Some people have visible bones growing on their hands.

Some people's heads turned into steaming rotten meat.

Following the molten iron, hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, and a rain of arrows poured down, falling into the city defense troops behind the Shield City Defense Force.

The commoner city defense troops behind the shield city defense troops fell down one after another like harvested wheat.

The entire governor's mansion was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Jiang Yiqu looked at the city defense soldiers behind him falling down in large numbers, his eyes full of bloodshot.

So many of our soldiers died as soon as we met!
Jiang Yiqu roared and dived into a courtyard wall where a big hole had been knocked out by a wooden stake.

The city defense soldiers behind him rushed in desperately.

Hundreds of archers on the courtyard wall jumped down quickly, but many of them were still stopped by the city defense soldiers who rushed in.

Various weapons stabbed down.

The archers who failed to escape were immediately stabbed into pulp.

Jiang Yiqu led the city defense soldiers all the way to the hall.

There, more than 200 guards were already standing with sharp blades in hand, waiting. The two leading them were Zhen Hao and Zhao Li.

The two men and the dozen or so people behind them were all wearing armor.

When Jiang Yiqu led his troops to attack, Zhen Hao and Zhao Li looked at each other, and both of them rushed out with spears in hand.

The soldiers behind them followed and killed them.

Soldiers from both sides collided at the entrance of the hall, and blood splattered everywhere.

Roar.

An angry roar.

Wails.

The groaning sound of crying.

All the sounds intertwined.

another side.

At the entrance of the government office.

Yuan Shang and Shen Pei followed Chunyu Qiong and led 3,000 city defense troops to the gate.

Seeing that there was no one around the government office and the gate was still wide open, Chunyu Qiong's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Previously, when he fought against Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. His 20,000 elite troops were almost wiped out, and only 2,000 people escaped.

This time, he won't make such a big mistake again.

Chunyu Qiong pointed towards the wall of the government office.

Suddenly, hundreds of archers stepped forward quickly, bent their bows and drew their arrows, and fired a dense rain of arrows at the government office inside the courtyard wall.

After a wave of arrows, Chunyu Qiong waved again after hearing continuous screams from inside.

Fifty armored soldiers formed a spearhead team, holding long-handled weapons, and slowly advanced towards the gate.

As soon as they entered the gate, they saw overturned chariots and carriages in the courtyard of the government office.

At least dozens of them.

The armored soldier hurriedly said to the back: "The entrance is full of overturned chariots and carriages! There are only dozens of bodies lying in a pool of blood!"

Chunyu Qiong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the armored soldier's report.

Is that all you can endure?
That's all. Do you think you can slow down my attack?
Chun Yuqiong pointed at the courtyard wall and shouted, "Charge the car!"

Behind him, dozens of soldiers pushed a huge battering ram slowly towards them.

The battering ram attacked the courtyard wall directly and smashed it to pieces.

Looking at the courtyard inside the wall and the guards who were frantically fleeing into the government hall behind the overturned chariots and carriages, Chunyu Qiong had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

A mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Holding the long sword high in his right hand, Chunyu Qiong chopped it down with force, leading the charge and charging in first.

The three thousand city defense troops behind him immediately followed with roars and charged in.

Yuan Shang and Shen Pei were also a little excited.

The attack on the government office went unexpectedly smoothly!
The army poured into the government courtyard like a tide and followed Chunyu Qiong to the meeting hall.

Just when half of the crowd had passed, countless roars suddenly sounded.

However, he saw that the walls on the east and west sides of the government office had been knocked down.

On the left, Zhao Yun, holding a spear, led a large army and attacked the belly of the city defense army from the left.

On the right, Huang Han and Zhang Sheng led a large army and blocked the retreat of the city defense forces.

The noise from the rear startled Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei who were attacking the government hall.

Without any hesitation, Chunyu Qiong immediately ordered the two thousand city defense soldiers in the rear to fight the enemy, and he personally led the remaining one thousand city defense soldiers to continue charging forward.

The space inside the government office is small and it is not convenient to turn around.

Even if we know that we are trapped behind us, we have no choice but to persevere.

Moreover, there are two thousand city defense troops in the rear.

There are only two thousand guards in total, and they are also responsible for defending the governor's residence and government office.

The maximum number of guards who can be assigned to guard the government office is fifteen thousand.

Chunyu Qiong knew that all the ministers were in the government office.

It was impossible for the guards of the government office to leave these ministers alone.

Therefore, there are at least hundreds of guards in the government office.

There were at most a few hundred guards lying in ambush outside the city.

There's no reason why two thousand city defense troops can't stop a few hundred guards!
