Under the city of Linqiong, the sound of war drums resounded through the world, and the flags flew and danced in the sky.

At this time, Chen Xu, who was at the front, had already taken off his previous black clothes and black armor and replaced them with a battle armor of the opposite color.

Not only that, but the generals' uniforms were also changed to white, but because the time was too hasty, the soldiers didn't have time to change their white robes.

Therefore, the vast majority of the Guanzhong army still wore the standard red armor of the Han army.

Chen Xu rode on the war horse, without his usual high spirits, but there was a kind of exhaustion and sadness on his body that could not be concealed.

Last night, when he learned the news that Tian Feng had left with his seal, he hurriedly dispatched the three armies to search.

But no matter what, Chen Xu had no way to find Tian Feng's traces.

Although he was a little annoyed that Tian Feng spoke too straightforwardly and did not save face for himself at all, Chen Xu also knew that Tian Feng had no bad intentions.

Tian Fengnai was the first strategist to defect to Chen Xu.

More than ten years have passed, and Chen Xu is almost accustomed to having Tian Feng by his side, and he is also used to Tian Feng blowing his beard and glaring.

Although sometimes annoyed and even a little disgusted, Chen Xu always regarded him as his right-hand man.

But now, Tian Feng left disheartenedly and walked very thoroughly.

"Yuan Hao, did you really leave me?"

In Chen Xu's view, the reason why Tian Feng left may not be just because of what happened yesterday.

In fact, since Chen Xu's general trend has become a trend, his dependence on Tian Feng has gradually decreased, and sometimes he even deliberately avoids Tian Feng.

This is also why, Tian Feng, who has always been steady, would set up such a thrilling plan with Gan Ning at that time and directly attacked Guanghan County.

Of course, there is a desire to capture Yizhou for Chen Xu and reduce time, but it is more because Tian Feng wants to find a sense of existence.

"Maybe Yuan Hao has already felt that I have neglected him a little."

Thinking of this, Chen Xu suddenly felt very sad and a deep guilt.

Good medicine is good for disease, and good advice is good for action.

Everyone knows that this is very true, but not everyone can be good at it, and listen to those harsh exhortations and remain calm.

The rumbling war drums echoed in his ears, but Chen Xu didn't seem to hear it at all.

Thinking of Chen Jing's death and Tian Feng's departure, the tyrannical emotions in Chen Xu's heart couldn't be concealed no matter what.

After the three-way drum was completed, looking at Linqiong County not far away, Chen Xu personally stepped forward.

He shouted hoarsely: "Give you half an hour, if you don't open the city and surrender, the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

Due to his hoarse voice, Chen Xu's voice was not loud, but when the generals of Guanzhong behind him heard this, they felt a strong killing intent.

The defenders of the city seemed to have expected this for a long time, and they didn't care, but just let the soldiers defend the city.

In the eyes of the defenders in the city, the Guanzhong army will talk like this almost everywhere they go, but as long as they surrender on the day the city is broken, they can almost save their lives.

It's just human nature to talk harshly before a war.

After shouting, Chen Xu turned his horse's head and returned to his own formation, and then rode on the war horse to close his eyes and recuperate, and the Guanzhong army also began to rest.

The general of Linqiong looked at the Guanzhong army outside and felt a huge pressure, but when he thought of his family, he could only grit his teeth and send people to help defend the city.

I have to say that Liu Zhang's reputation among the people in the city is very good, and after the people were called by the Linqiong guards, they climbed to the city wall one after another.

There are also many people who volunteered to help carry the materials for defending the city without being forcibly recruited by the Linqiong guards.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and Chen Xu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes, raised the spear in his hand, and the blood-colored light in his eyes flashed.

"Siege!"

With Chen Xu's order, the Guanzhong Army, which had already been prepared, suddenly shouted and killed the past.

"Knock knock!"

The rousing drums of war echoed in the sky, and the shouts of the soldiers almost broke through the sky.

This tragic siege battle lasted until nightfall, when the Guanzhong army slowly retreated, and the city and the city were also covered with blood.

Just when the guards in the city breathed a sigh of relief, another wave of Guanzhong troops rushed in, and the dense torches almost illuminated the night.

Unlike in the past, Chen Xu divided the soldiers into two groups and stormed the city day and night.

Arrows flew, flesh splattered, and shouts thundered.

This high-intensity siege battle lasted for two days, and the Linqiong defenders felt that they couldn't support it.

There were not many defenders in the city, and although there were many people, these people had not received formal training after all, and their combat effectiveness was extremely low.

Faced with the onslaught of the Guanzhong army day and night, the Linqiong guard did not close his eyes for two days and two nights, and his eyeballs were full of bloodshots.

"The offensive of the Guanzhong army is too fierce, if it goes on like this, the city will be conquered in less than two days, so let's surrender the city."

A deputy general looked outside the city, and the Guanzhong army that continued to attack the city wall felt a little chill in his heart.

The news that the two cities of Chengdu and Jiangyuan had fallen and that all the guards had been killed had been heard, and the adjutant general had long been afraid of the Guanzhong army.

He was also afraid that after the city was broken, he would be killed by the Guanzhong army, so he persuaded the main general to surrender.

Because he knew that Lin Qiong had no way to stop the Guanzhong army, since the city would be breached sooner or later, why should he lose his life?

The Linqiong guard's face changed, and he grabbed the collar of the deputy general and shouted: "My family members are all yaks, if Kaecheng surrenders, what should they do?" ”

The adjutant general said: "The order given by the envoy is to ask the general to defend the city for ten days to save the lives of his family." But according to the current situation, does the general really think that he can block the Guanzhong army for ten days? ”

When the general Lin Qiong was stunned when he heard this, his face changed several times, and he said: "Even if I can't hold it for ten days, if I die in the city, I guess the lord will not embarrass my family." ”

The adjutant general stumbled and said, "General, why can't you see the situation clearly?" ”

"Even if the family can really be saved because of the general's death, but the Guanzhong army will be able to take the entire Yizhou sooner or later, even if the envoy does not kill the family of your family at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the general will not do it in the future."

"If the general surrenders, if he has the merit of dedicating the city, he will definitely be valued by the general."

"If your wife is gone, you can remarry, if your children are gone, you can have another child, and if you have your own life, you will have nothing."

Qionglai Shoujiang's face changed several times, and it could be seen that he was extremely struggling in his heart.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a large rock smashed down on the two of them, almost scaring them to death.

The powerful impact of the big stone made this section of the city wall even more dilapidated.

The anxious look on the adjutant general's face became more and more intense, and he shouted: "If the general does not surrender at this time, even if he wants to surrender on the day the city is broken, it will be too late." ”

Listening to the shouts and killings outside the city, the Linqiong guard felt the smell of blood in the air, gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, then open the city and surrender." ”

After saying this, Lin Qiong Shou felt as if all his strength had been drained. As for himself, he sat on the ground with his ass slumped, his eyes blank.

The adjutant general was overjoyed when he heard this, and Mao then recommended himself: "I am willing to go out of the city and discuss with the general about surrendering." ”

The deputy general is a good idea, if he can go out of the city first, he will definitely be more favored by Chen Xu.

……

Under Linqiong City, Chen Xu sat on top of a war horse like an iron tower, his eyes staring at the city in front of him, but there was a little less agility in it.

"Stomp, stomp!"

There was a rush of footsteps, and I saw Lu Bu carrying a person and striding over here.

The man was dressed in the armor of a Yizhou general, and although he was relatively strong, he was powerless in Lu Bu's hands.

"This person claimed to be the deputy general of Linqiong County, and wanted to meet the lord, and he suspected that this guy was trying to do wrong, so he personally arrested him."

The adjutant general Lu Bu threw him on the ground, his body was covered with dust, and he hurriedly shouted: "The last general is preparing to surrender the city, it is definitely not a bad plot, please also ask the general to know it!" ”

Chen Xu set his eyes on the deputy general and looked at the man condescendingly.

The deputy general was frightened by Chen Xu's eyes, and he didn't dare to look up at him at all, so he explained the purpose of his trip with a crackle.

After finishing speaking, the deputy general raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Xu worriedly.

was silent for a long time, and just when the deputy general felt a cold sweat on his back, he suddenly heard a voice: "Since you want to surrender, show sincerity." ”

This sentence, like a heavenly sound, made the lieutenant's hanging heart back into his stomach.

He nodded hurriedly and said, "The last general will return to the city, ask someone to open the city gate, and ask the general to let people suspend the siege of the city." ”

Chen Xu nodded slightly, 'um', and didn't even look at the deputy general.

The deputy general received a positive answer, and he didn't have the courage to ask Chen Xu for an official at all, so he hurried to the city.

It didn't take long for the gate of Linqiong to be opened, and the Linqiong guards and deputy generals all went out of the city with seals and ribbons.

Chen Xu led the army to the two of them, signaled Lu Bu to lead the crowd to take over the city gate, and then looked at them carefully.

"Poof!"

After a while, the spear in Chen Xu's hand suddenly flashed with light, and it pierced directly into the heart of the Linqiong guard.

"Poof!"

The spear was suddenly pulled out by Chen Xu, and the spear flashed again, quickly grazing the throat of the adjutant general, leaving only two dead corpses.

"Poof!"

The two bodies fell to the ground almost simultaneously, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Slaughter the city!"

Chen Xu didn't look at the two of them anymore, and he was even more disdainful of the seal ribbon in their hands, and the bloody tip of the spear pointed at Linqiong County, and roared loudly.

"Kill!"

At this time, Lu Bu, who had already occupied the city gate, also led his soldiers to ruthlessly kill the unarmed Yizhou army.

The two Linqiong guards were bent on surrendering, and in order to show their sincerity, they even made the soldiers lose their weapons.

In this way, in the face of Lu Bu's slaughter, these people were even more powerless to resist.

"Kill!"

Although they were surprised by the order to slaughter the city, the soldiers only knew how to obey the order, and the soldiers rushed into the city, setting off a massacre.

This time, Chen Xu ordered 'no chickens and dogs left', so all men and women in the city, old and young, were slaughtered.

Many patriarchs of the big families were already panicked at this time, and many people asked to see Chen Xu in person to show their loyalty.

However, Chen Xu was disdainful of these people and gave the order to slaughter.

These big families are all grass on the wall, and several big clans in Chengdu were not killed on the day the city was broken, and they were forced to write a letter to take over the rest of the big clans for Chen Xu.

However, many families have an ambiguous attitude, and they are completely sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

If the big clans in Linqiong really have the heart to surrender, and cooperate with the Guanzhong army, I am afraid that they will be able to break through the city in less than a day.

However, they did not do anything.

As more and more people died, the blood flowing from the bodies of the dead gathered together, and rivers of blood were formed in the low-lying ditches in the city.

The leaves fell on the river of blood, and kept swimming ahead.

"Lord!"

This time, Chen Xu not only killed the two generals who surrendered voluntarily, but also slaughtered the people in the city, which was completely abnormal.

Some people are very puzzled by this crazy behavior and can't help but want to ask.

Chen Xu said indifferently: "When the soldiers came to the city, I already said that if the city is not opened within half an hour, there will be no chickens and dogs left on the day the city is broken." ”

"Today, I'm just keeping my promise. Those innocent dead souls, if you want to blame it, blame the guards of Linqiong. ”

Ignoring the jaw-dropping crowd, Chen Xu took Dian Wei and the black armor guard to stroll through the bloody city, as if strolling leisurely.

The three gates of Linqiong were blocked by the Guanzhong army, leaving only the south gate for the people to flee for their lives.

The slaughter of the city is not an end, but a means.

If the four gates are blocked, the slaughter of the city will not have any effect, and Chen Xu just wants to let the people who have escaped spread the word about what happened here.

Chen Xu wants to tell the rest of the defenders of the city: You can choose to resist or surrender, but I can choose to be brutal or merciful.

If this is a troubled time, then Chen Xu at this time has fully adapted to this atmosphere.

Treat your own people like a spring breeze and make people feel comfortable; Treat your enemies like a butcher's blade and make them feel terrified.

The strong smell of blood around him reached Chen Xu's nose, and the tyrannical emotions in his heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

As far as the eye could see, there were terrified corpses everywhere, all with disbelief on their faces.

Perhaps before they died, they wondered why the Guanzhong Army, which had always committed no offense against the people, would indiscriminately massacre civilians today.

In Linqiong City, the shouts of killing and the cries of the people before death became weaker and weaker, indicating that this massacre was about to end.

Suddenly, Chen Xu felt a little heavy in his heart.

"I don't care if my name goes down in history or if it lasts for 10,000 years, I only care about those who deserve my attention."

The cold wind blew the white robe on Chen Xu's back, and Chen Jing's face seemed to be reflected on it.

"Ah Jing, you wait, after taking Yizhou, I will go to avenge you."
