Chapter 159 Murder and Punishment
Outside Yangdi City, Bo Cai led his subordinates to fight hard and finally fought out a bloody path, highlighting the encirclement of Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
But the only men he brought were less than a thousand, most of whom were killed in the Han army.
Bo Cai didn't care about his sadness, but just led his troops to flee to Yangdi City, hoping to withdraw from the city.
He had heard the shouts of killing from Yangdi City just now. Now he could only hope that the 10,000 elite soldiers he left to He Man could withstand the fierce attack of the Han army and allow him to withdraw back to the city, so he would have the opportunity to stand firm and wait for assistance.
However, when Bo Chiu rushed to the Yangdi City with his remaining soldiers, his last hope was completely shattered. The Han army's flags were already flying everywhere on the top of the city, and the Han army was full of torches and arrows waiting for battle.
A scout came forward to report: "Master Qu, the Han army launched an attack from the east gate and had entered the city. Yangdi City has been lost..."
Bo Cai sighed to the sky, he was cautious, and his temporary luck mentality still made him lose his mind and led his subordinates to the road of destruction.
The situation at this time would not give him a chance to regret, and the shouts of killing sounded behind him.
Cao Cao's cavalry had already chased after him first, and Bo Cai was vaguely visible. The Xiahou brothers were leading the team in the front.
Bo Cai dared not turn around and fight head-on with them. At this time, he made a decision and led his troops to retreat along the city wall towards Zhu Yen's siege troops at the east gate of Yangdi.
Bo Cai thought in his mind: the northern gate of Yangdi was surrounded by the Han army, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were chasing him hard, and trying to break through here and escape was tantamount to dreams.
Only Zhu Ye's siege troops were in the direction where they attacked the city with all their strength. It should be that the large army had already entered the city and fought with He Man's troops.
The only ones who stayed outside the city were small groups of troops, guarding the siege equipment. The guards of the Han army should be the weakest and had the most chance to break out...
...
At this time, He Man had slowly retreated to the commander's mansion of the Yellow Turban Army in Yangdi City.
The ten thousand elite soldiers under his command fought against the fierce attack of the Han army, and most of them were killed or injured, and only dozens of people remained by his side.
He had no choice but to take these soldiers to occupy the general's mansion to resist the attacks of the Han army from all directions...
They used the corner tower built on the wall of the General's Mansion to occupy a high point and continuously shoot arrows downwards, finally temporarily suppressing the attack of the Han army.
He Man sat on the ground in the courtyard of the gate of the General's Mansion. Due to the continuous fierce fighting, the wound on his leg had already collapsed, and blood kept flowing down his thighs. He had not been bandaged before, and he was freed to deal with it.
Just as He Man was bandaging his wound, he heard the Han army's neat shouts outside the general's mansion: "If you offer the thief chief He Man's head, you will be exempted from death! A bounty of a thousand taels!"
The sound of shocking shouts sounded one after another around the General Manager's Mansion, and the momentum was shocking.
Hearing this shout, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers began to shake. At this time, they all knew that once the General's Mansion was broken, there would be only a dead end.
But now that the Han army has given them a way out, it depends on whether they can grasp it themselves!
This kind of attacking tactic used by Zhu Ye was naturally taught by Han Tao in advance.
Han Tao knew that He Man was fierce and fierce. According to the situation provided by Zhao Yu, he would definitely retreat to the commander's mansion in Yangdi City and defend it at risk, which would inevitably add a lot of trouble to the attacking forces of the Han army.
Han Tao knew Zhu Jun's character. At this time, he would definitely kill He Man at all costs. That's why he imitated the way of being surrounded by enemies and told him that this method would definitely make Zhu Jun feel angry!
He Man looked at the reactions of the Yellow Turban soldiers around him and realized that the situation was hopeless. He smiled helplessly, stood up with his injured leg, and shouted to the Yellow Turban soldiers beside him: "Brothers, I want to exchange my head for your safety in the end, okay, come up and get it! Let's see who of you has this ability!"
When he shouted like this, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were hesitant were even more moved and began to approach him slowly.
"Kill!" Accompanied by the roar, several Yellow Turban soldiers waved their weapons and rushed towards He Man. The farmers who rebelled just for a way out, and many of them were even coerced. They fought hard before, even though they knew that they would die even if they surrendered.
But now there is vitality in front of us, and even huge rewards can be given. This will change their destiny and make their already unstable hearts collapse instantly. They choose the most direct way to fight for the opportunity to survive!
He Man waved his weapon and fought with the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed up. At this time, he had to stop slashing and killing the subordinates who had fought side by side but had lost their minds at this time.
He Man is an extremely proud person. He would rather die at the hands of the Han army than let his former subordinates take his life...
With a loud noise, the gate of the General Manager's Mansion fell heavily, and several Han soldiers escorted Zhu Jun and rushed in. The scene in front of them made them all ashamed.
He Man stood alone in the middle of the General's Mansion, and several Yellow Turban soldiers fell beside him. At this time, He Man's body was covered with scars and blood kept flowing down...
Zhu Jun looked at He Man in front of him, his lips raised slightly, and he sneered. He now fully understood the significance of Han Tao's plan: at the last moment, everyone was betrayed by his former subordinates and was besieged by his former subordinates. This feeling of despair made He Man completely collapse. This is the real murder and heartbroken...
He Man looked at Zhu Jun, roared angrily, waved the weapon in his hand, and rushed towards Zhu Jun...
"Kill!" Zhu Jun issued the order coldly!
Several Han soldiers holding spears standing behind him rushed out together, and the spears in their hands pierced out and pierced into He Man's body.
He Man's eyes wide open, glaring at Zhu Jun in front of him, blood spurted out from his mouth, and then stared down and died...
Zhu Jun raised his arms and shouted: "The thief general He Man was killed! Yangdi City was destroyed!"
The officers and soldiers followed each other and shouted: "Magnificent, mighty!"
Zhu Jun ordered: "Hurry, clear away the remaining moths and thieves in the city, wait for General Huangfu and others to chase Bo before they succeed, and enter the city together!"
After receiving his instructions, the Han soldiers acted quickly, some of them rushed into the commander's mansion, and some of them rushed out, continuing to hunt down the Yellow Turban soldiers involved.
