Times are rolling by. Standing aside as a bystander, of course, I feel magnificent and pleasing to the eye, but what if I happen to be unable to become a bystander, but become the person involved?

What will you do when you see the wheels of the times rolling, and it is about to be pressed over the sky and overwhelmingly?

What can be done?

Some people may imagine how they fight and strive for it, but more often, they can only make a fine crushed sound.

Everyone is staring at the wheel of the times, no one cares about the wheel

Yan Zhi opened his mouth wide and roared, "Kill!"

The ambushed Cao Jun howled and rushed up under the cover of the bow and arrow.

At this moment, Yan Zhi didn't care about anything else, and shouted hysterically in a hoarse voice, without any hesitation under his feet. He had already passed the leading soldier in a few steps and rushed towards the Cao army soldiers with a sword slanted.

Even if you want to retreat, you must first attack Cao's army, otherwise you will be bitten behind the butt and chased them to death. I am afraid that not everyone will explain this!

The archers of Cao's army were still shooting, and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air continued to sound. Although there was not much accuracy when the fire was shaking in the dark, it still caused considerable damage to Yan Zhi and others. Some soldiers fell down in a wail.

Although Cao Jun threw out the torch, the light of the torch was not very bright, and the torch was burning on the ground, and the ground was relatively cold and it was difficult to ignite the debris on the ground to form sufficient strength. However, as time goes by, as long as the dead branches arranged earlier on the ground were ignited, Yan Zhi and others were living targets!

Therefore, either escape or enter!

Most of the choices are to escape...

Yan Zhi's unretreatment but advancement really surprised Xiahou Dun.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were not good at night battles, and even the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, as the Central Imperial Guard, were basically the same. On the one hand, the nutrition was not kept up, and on the other hand, there was no need.

Until I met Fei Qian.

Fei Qian's understanding of soldiers, logistics improvement, and tactic evolution are undoubtedly the first-class people at the moment. Although Cao Cao laughed out loud on the surface and then expressed his contempt for Fei Ziyuan, in fact, he was thinking and calculating about Fei Qian's military actions.

So how can we not guard against night attacks?

Xiahou Dun's plan originally had a bit of a conspiracy.

If Shexian does not respond, then drain the water from the moat of Shexian according to the plan, and then transport gunpowder to the evacuation wall to blast. If Shexian sends troops to destroy it, then look for an opportunity to defeat it and follow the city to break...

So when Yan Zhi and his soldiers did not retreat but chose to fight hard, it was indeed a bit surprising to Xiahou Dun. The soldiers he arranged on the outside were useless.

Yan Zhidao didn't think so much, he just felt a little excited.

Yan Zhi stepped on the ground with his left foot, and led a sword in his hand. He cut off the arm of Cao Jun on the right with one knife. He then pulled the knife forward and then pushed it forward. With a roar, the sharp blade of the sword had already penetrated the leather armor on the abdomen of another Cao Jun and stabbed it in.

Blood suddenly flowed out of the mouth of the Cao army soldier. The Cao army soldiers grabbed Yan Zhi's sword tightly, and even though their fingers were cut off by the knife, they did not let go. Their eyes suddenly bulged up and they stared at Yan Zhi, and then slowly fell down.

Yan Zhi was also gasping, but he couldn't rest. He advanced sideways and kicked a side shield, making a dull sound, and also kicked the shield-holding Cao army and staggered to the other side. Yan Zhi rushed in directly, forcing two battle knives, and slashed across a Cao army soldier who could not dodge with one sword. When the weak belly under the armor was on the weak belly of the Cao army soldier, the sharp knife cut the belly of the Cao army soldier, and the steaming five internal organs and intestines immediately burst out with blood.

Cao Jun howled, threw the sword in his hand and covered his broken belly. He couldn't cover it no matter how hard he was. In the end, the intestines that flowed out were trampled by someone, and died in a miserable wail.

Yan Zhi is very brave, but that's all.

The soldiers in Shexian cannot all be like Yan Zhi.

After Yan Zhi killed two or three more Cao army soldiers, he found that there were basically no other Shexian soldiers behind him who could keep up.

The soldiers of Cao's army were divided into two teams, attacking left and right, like pairs of scissors, blocking the soldiers of Shexian and intercepting them.

The Cao army, who was arranged in the distance, gradually came up and cut off the retreat of Yan Zhi and others.

『Kill!』

Yan Zhi might have been able to escape with his personal force, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and rescued the soldiers of Shexian who were besieged by Cao's army, but he completely lost hope of escape.

As the soldiers in Shexian fell one by one, Yan Zhi's space became smaller and smaller.

Yan Zhi cut down a Cao army with one knife, but I don’t know if it was because the sword was cracking on the bone crack, or because he had been fighting for a long time, Yan Zhi couldn’t pull it out when he wanted to draw the sword, so a Cao army took the opportunity to stab the spear into his abdomen.

Yan Zhi screamed, and actually pulled the Cao army holding the spear in front of him. Unarmed, he opened his mouth and bit the Cao army's neck directly!

Blood splattered out, and Yan Zhi was like a wild beast, biting him tightly and not letting go.

The Cao army with the spear struggled subconsciously, but could not break free, and then fell limp after a moment.

Yan Zhi, with blood on his face, stared fiercely at the Cao army soldiers surrounding him.

The soldiers of Cao's army were captured by Yan Zhi's aura. Even though they saw Yan Zhi alone and had a spear penetrated through his chest and abdomen, they still did not dare to go forward. They did not hesitate until Yan Zhi fell down and hit him with swords and guns. After confirming that Yan Zhi was really dead, they cheered loudly...

...

...

On the battlefield, those who are brave and have a hot mind, except for those who are really first-class, the rest are basically dead.

The night will not stay for anyone, nor will the sun be slow because of someone's death. In the early morning of the next day, a red sun still climbed up the mountain heartlessly.

The cavalry of Cao's army roared, inserted the heads of Yan Zhi and others onto the spear, and toured and displayed under the Shexian city.

The She County defenders recognized Yan Zhi and others, and hurriedly found Liang Qi in a panic.

Liang Qi was having a meal. When he heard the news, his hands trembled and the whole bowl of rice fell to the ground with a bang!

At this moment, there was no need to worry about being embarrassed or not. Liang Qi rushed to the top of the city, pulled the battlements and looked down, then took a breath of cold air and sat on the edge of the battlements, feeling the buzzing sound in his head, and his soul was lost for a moment.

Liang Qi was like this, and the defenders on the county wall were even more panicked.

When Yan Zhi was alive, Liang Qi didn't actually think Yan Zhi was so great.

But when he saw Yan Zhi die, Liang Qi felt as if he had lost his soul. He neither knew how to boost the morale of the army nor how to arrange military affairs. He was very polite in daily life, but when it was put into practice, he was a mess.

What to do next?

have no idea.

Because there was still water accumulation in the moat under Shexian County, the Cao army did not immediately attack the city, but digged ditches under the city to drain water with great fanfare. In the distance, the Cao army's cavalry were still eyeing it.

On the walls of Shexian County, Liang Qi was at a loss.

Without any interference, Cao's army dug very quickly. When it was approaching night, it had already dug the moat and drained the water from the moat one after another. However, when it was draining, it was too late. Xiahou Dun did not order to attack the city overnight, but instead asked someone to shoot a letter of extortion on the top of the city...

The letter of persuading surrender quickly came to Liang Qi's hands.

Liang Qi looked at it, silently said nothing, and returned home.

Shexian is actually not big, and there is no particularly good land. It can even be said to be the only junction between mountains. Liang Qi has been here since he was a child. Although he had been to Sili and Jizhou when he was young, he soon returned to Shexian because it was his roots.

Before he knew it, Liang Qi suddenly looked up and realized that he had actually walked to the door of his house.

Liang Qi's child came up and pulled Liang Qi's sleeve, "My father, has Cao Jun retreated?"

Liang Qi squeezed out a smile and touched the child's head, "Don't worry about these things... Have you read the book today?"

"I've read it! Do you want me to recite it to my father?" The child is still young, and although he knows some things in the world, he is still ignorant.

Liang Qi's wife saw that Liang Qi's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the child, "Your father just came back and needed a rest... Shen'er be good, don't disturb your father..."

The child nodded, bowed very well, and followed the maid down.

"Where is my mother?" Liang Qi asked, "Have you ever had a meal?"

Mrs. Liang Qi nodded and shook her head again, "My mother is also very worried. She ate some, but she didn't eat much... Husband, outside the city... Is it okay outside the city?"

Liang Qi was silent for a long time before saying, "The Cao army probably won't attack the city today."

"Thank God..." Mrs. Liang Qi took a long breath, but soon realized the implicit meaning of Liang Qi's words, "Husband... Then, what about... tomorrow?"

Liang Qi exhaled and smiled reluctantly, "Tomorrow's affairs, let's talk about it tomorrow...I'm hungry..."

"Oh, oh..." Mrs. Liang Qi nodded repeatedly, "I'll prepare some food now..."

what to do?

There are old ones above and small ones below.

Submit and surrender?

Liang Qi secretly took out the letter of persuasion from his sleeve...

Will there be a good life if you surrender?

It's a joke. Who doesn't know that after surrendering, the property he accumulated in Shexian became the military supplies of Cao's army? If you dare to say a word, you may still be the head of the people!

But……

Can you defend without surrendering?

Liang Qi had no idea. What was even certain was that if reinforcements did not come, it would be likely that they would not be able to defend themselves, and once they were lost, the consequences might be even more terrible.

"Husband...husband..." Mrs. Liang Qi brought in some food and called softly.

Liang Qi was still stunned, and suddenly stood up, "I have something to do, go out... I don't have to wait for a while at night..."

『Husband, this...this meal...』

Before Mrs. Liang Qi could say anything, Liang Qi had already pulled the robe on the clothes rack and walked out while wearing it.

Liang Qi suddenly remembered that Yan Zhi had told him before that there might be spies from Cao's army involved in the city!

If a dog is anxious, he can jump over the wall, let alone a human being?

After all, Liang Qi lived in Shexian for many years. When he made up his mind to find these spies in the Cao army, he could play a role more or less. Liang Qi hurriedly found some old men in the city, and they and the defenders searched each other one by one, forcing all the people who entered the refuge to distinguish each other, and then arrested all those who were not recognized or protected.

During this process, of course, some were injured by accident, and some were even wronged, but Liang Qi did arrest a few, and even one or two spies from Cao's army were exposed during the arrest.
