Chapter 841 Taking Office

At this time, Shen Pei had led three thousand troops from Jicheng to Beiping City.

"It's worthy of meeting the eldest son." The judge bowed slightly to Yuan Tan.

"Ah, Mr. Zhengnan came at the right time!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed to see Shen Pei, and hurriedly helped him up. Now Yuan Tan was alone in Beiping City, with only two thousand soldiers in the city. The total number of troops gathered together was only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. The previous five thousand soldiers and horses were all After being defeated by Gongsun Kang in one fell swoop, what do these more than 3,000 people count for?

"I wonder how many troops Mr. Zhengnan has brought here?" Yuan Tan asked expectantly.

"Three thousand elite soldiers," Shen Pei replied.

"What? Only three thousand people?"

Yuan Tan said anxiously: "These troops and horses are not enough. Please ask Mr. Zhengnan to go back to my father and ask for more troops and horses. To stop the enemy's front, we must recruit ten thousand people!"

Shen Pei frowned and said, "Eldest Young Master, please rest assured. Including the troops and horses that Pei brought, there are now more than 6,000 troops in total, which is more than enough to defend Beiping City."

"Oh, Mr. Zhengnan."

Minlang!

Shen Pei suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist. Yuan Tan was startled and took a few steps back. Then he said angrily: "Why did Mr. Zhengnan draw his sword to scare people? Is it possible that he wants to kill me?"

"The judge doesn't dare, but I'm just asking the eldest son to take a closer look. Whose sword is this?" the judge said coldly.

Yuan Tan took a closer look and saw that the shape of the sword was very familiar, and the word "Si Zhao" was engraved on the scabbard. It was the sword cherished by his father Yuan Shao.

"My lord has an order. After the judge arrives in Beiping City, he will take over the defense with full authority. Even the eldest son must be controlled by the judge. Please don't make a mistake, eldest son!" the judge said coldly.

"Oh!" Yuan Tan had nothing to say. If he dared to mess around again, the judge might not dare to kill him, but he would certainly dare to lock him up.

Shen Pei was a loyal minister of Yuan Shao. He naturally tried his best to lock himself up in order to defend Beiping City. He really dared to do it.

"Humph, since Mr. Zhengnan insists on this, Tan takes leave!"

Yuan Tan snorted and retreated.

As soon as Yuan Tan left, Jiang Qi came up to him and said with an ugly face: "Mr. Zhengnan, the eldest son is the son of the lord, but he was offended so badly. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?"

Shen Pei waved his hand: "Nothing, as long as we can defend Beiping City, what does this mean?"

After that, the judge ordered: "Gather the sergeants in the city and defend the four gates respectively. Be careful."

After Shenpei officially took over the defense of Beiping City, two days later, Gongsun Kang led 3,000 cavalry and nearly 13,000 Korean miscellaneous soldiers to the gates of Beiping City.

"I heard that Yuan Tan escaped to Beiping City. I can't let him go no matter what this time!"

Gongsun Kang clenched his fists. The last time he accidentally let Yuan Tan go, he felt ashamed. Now that they are reunited again, he naturally cannot let Yuan Tan go easily no matter what.

"Yan Liang is dead. If there is no general in Beiping City, how can we defeat our army just by relying on Yuan Tan?"

Gongsun Gong showed disdain on his face, mixed with faint excitement at the same time. The Yuan family in Runan was a powerful family in the Han Dynasty, with four generations and three nobles, while the Gongsun family in Liaodong came from a humble background, and Gongsun Du was just a minor official. The family status is naturally very different.

But now, the humble Gongsun family is surrounding the eldest son of the Yuan family in the city. It is like an ugly man suddenly marrying a beautiful woman. How can people not be excited?

"Hmph, our army has been victorious in consecutive battles. I'm afraid that the enemy troops in the city have long been afraid. There is no need to rush to attack the city. You can go and persuade them to surrender first."

Gongsun Kang had a look of arrogance on his face: "Master Liu, you lead the troops to persuade me to surrender. If I surrender, I will pay you back. If the enemy refuses to surrender, then I will order people to attack the city and capture Yuan Tan at my knees. "

"Don't worry, eldest son."

Liu Yi bowed his hand to Gongsun Kang, and then rode his horse with more than a thousand Liaodong cavalry and thousands of Sanhan soldiers to rush forward and arrived at the gate of Beiping City.

"Come on, pick out Yan Liang's head and let the defenders in the city take a good look at it. What will happen if you disobey our army!"

Liu Yi gave an order, and an army sergeant used a long pole to pick up Yan Liang's head, allowing the defenders above the city to see clearly.

"Guardians in the city, please listen carefully, this is Yan Liang's head!"

"This is the fate of disobeying my cavalry army. You'd better surrender as soon as possible, otherwise Yan Liang will be your fate!"

Liu Yi also ordered a cavalryman to carry Yan Liang's head and gallop up and down the city, showing off his power, which made the defenders above the city look terrified.

Even a strong general like Yan Liang has been killed. How can we be a match for the enemy?

Jiang Qi handed over Shen Pei and said with a troubled face: "Mr. Zhengnan, the enemy is carrying General Yan's head, which may be detrimental to the morale of our army."

The judge said slowly: "Commander Jiang, please go down and lead five hundred cavalry to stop behind the city gate. Wait until I give the order before attacking."

Jiang Qi agreed and walked down.

"Prepare the big yellow crossbow!"

Several crossbowmen had already walked up to the top of the city. They were not holding ordinary bows and arrows, but powerful large yellow crossbows, which had a much longer range than ordinary bows and arrows.

"Go up higher and let them see more clearly."

Liu Yi gave an order, and the Liaodong knight agreed, approaching the city again with a long pole, carrying Yan Liang's head and running around with a look of arrogance on his face.

The guards on top of the city were angry and fearful, but Shen Pei said slowly: "Get ready."

Squeak - the crossbowman holding the big yellow crossbow lay on the city wall, placed the crossbow arrow on the crossbow machine, and secretly aimed at the mighty Liaodong knight, aiming at his heart.

"put!"

Whoosh!

The trigger was pulled, and the crossbow arrow on the string flew out. The powerful force tore through the air and pointed directly at the chest of the Liaodong knight.

"not good!"

The Liaodong knight exclaimed and hurriedly mounted his horse to avoid it, but the crossbowman had been hiding on top of the city for a long time and had already aimed at him. This arrow had been brewing for a long time, and it shot out in an instant like a thunderous ricochet. What happened in his eagerness? Can you react?

"ah!"

The Liaodong knight screamed, but a crossbow arrow flew towards him, pierced through his armor, and hit his chest. He was hit by this huge force, screamed in agony, and fell off the horse. The long pole in his hand and Yan Liang's head naturally fell to the ground.

"???"

Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, Liu Yi and a group of Liaodong soldiers were stunned when they faced the sudden change.

"kill!"

After Shen Pei gave an order, the city gate suddenly opened. Jiang Qi, who had been holding back for a long time, immediately led 300 cavalry to charge out. Carrying the billowing dust, they rushed outside the city and headed straight for the enemy.

"Protect the two young masters!"

Liu Yi was taken aback, thinking that the enemy was going to attack the Chinese army, so he hurriedly ordered the Liaodong cavalry to protect Gongsun Kang and the two.
