Chapter 1699: Yuan Tan beheaded Yuan Shang with tears
“But I finally left.”
As soon as Gao Chong left, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi fell off their horses and lay directly on the ground, gasping for air.
Zheng Lun and Chen Qi did not dare to do this in front of Gao Chong just now. After all, once Gao Chong sees through the truth, even with Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan around, the two of them may be in trouble.
Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan's injuries were lighter than those of Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, but neither of them looked very good-looking.
At the beginning, Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan were able to compete with Gao Chongguo when they joined forces. However, with the addition of Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, the four of them could even suppress Gao Chong.
Everything was fine at first. Zhang Kui thought he had won the battle, but he didn't expect Gao Chong to suddenly break out.
The high favor with a force of 133. With the increase of the ‘Holy Emperor’, the force has increased to 135.
Although there are only two more points, the battle situation is completely different.
Previously, under the siege of the four generals, Gao Chong was at a disadvantage. But with these 2 points of increase, Gao Chong had no pressure at all when fighting four generals, and the situation was completely reversed. This shows that in the later stages, the power of force Every bit of increase is precious.
“Close the city gate immediately and reoccupy the city tower.” Zhang Kui ordered in a deep voice.
Since the Qin army retreated on its own initiative, the defenders in the city took back almost no casualties and recaptured the city tower that they had been unable to recapture after fighting for several hours. However, the east gate tower was already in a mess.
After Zhang Kui closed the city gate, he boarded the city tower again, but when he saw the tragic scene on the city tower, he was shocked.
Wherever Zhang Kui looked, he saw almost all the corpses of his own people, and not a single part of the city's defense equipment was intact. Ninety-five percent of the city's defense equipment had been destroyed by the Qin army.
"Report to my lord, 56 catapults and 334 crossbows were lost at the east gate..." Zhang Kui reported with an ugly face.
“Report to King Han that Ximen has lost 49 catapults and 294 crossbows...” Yuan Hong reported with an extremely ugly face.
After hearing these reports, Han Xin felt a little dizzy.
More than 90% of the defensive equipment on the east and west gates were damaged at one time. Even if all the defensive equipment stored in the warehouse were moved out, it would still not be enough to fill such a large hole.
Han Xin tried his best to remain calm and asked: "How many sergeants were lost in total?"
Hearing this, Yuan Hong and Zhang Kui both looked at Jushou. After a moment of contemplation, Jushou replied truthfully: "According to statistics, our army suffered a total of 10,438 casualties in this battle." people."
Hearing this, Han Xin was greatly shaken. There were a total of 120,000 defenders in Yecheng. As a result, more than 10,000 were lost at once. The defenses of the east and west gates were all destroyed. How could they defend it?
Han Xin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a trembling voice: "What about the Qin army?"
“Only 3,324 corpses of Qin soldiers were found.”
Hearing this, Han Xin suddenly smiled miserably.
The number of defenders in the city was clearly more than that of the Qin army who entered the city. As a result, the attacking Qin army only suffered 3,000 casualties, while the allied forces defending the city suffered over 10,000 casualties.
What kind of war is this?
Han Xin felt so aggrieved for the first time.
Such a huge loss, someone must stand up and take responsibility, and who is the person who caused all this? Of course it’s Yuan Shang.
Prefect’s Mansion, in the hall. Han Xin and Yuan Tan looked at each other and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Hong lifted Yuan Shang in like a chicken and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ah, it hurts so much, please be gentle...”
Yuan Shang wailed in pain, and then he saw his eldest brother Yuan Tan, whose face was ashen above.
Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, and begged for mercy: "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life."
Seeing that Yuan Tan still had a cold expression on his face and didn't say a word, Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said: "It's Yuan Xi. It's Yuan Xi who wants to become the King of Zhao. That's why he seduced the younger brother to rebel against you. The younger brother is also covered in lard." I was so worried that I believed Yuan Xi's lies for a while, which led to a big disaster. I beg the elder brother to give the younger brother another chance. The younger brother will never dare to do it again..."
Before Yuan Shang finished speaking, Yuan Tan's face became distorted and he shouted: "That's enough."
Yuan Tan couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked down and slapped Yuan Shang on the face. Half of Yuan Shang's face was swollen.
Unsatisfied with the slap, Yuan Tan slapped him three more times and roared: "Obviously you bewitched your second brother. After the deed was done, in order to monopolize the benefits, Yuan Tan secretly attacked and killed your biological brother who is a compatriot of your mother. Now you are committing the crime." They were all blamed on the dead Yuan Xi.
Yuan Shang, why are you so vicious at such a young age? "
Yuan Shang was a little confused by Yuan Tan's beating, but when he heard Yuan Tan say that Yuan Xi was killed by him, he was instantly shocked.
Yuan Shang can recognize other people, but Yuan Shang cannot recognize the fact that he killed his second brother Yuan Xi with his own hands, otherwise he will definitely die.
"No, the second brother loves me the most. How could I kill the second brother? The second brother died in the melee."
Yuan Shang defended himself anxiously. He didn't know how wronged he had been.
When Yuan Tan saw this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He also felt that Yuan Shang was lying. Could it be that he had really been wronged?
Seeing Yuan Tan’s hesitation, Han Xin immediately stood up and said, “Yuan Shang, I know you won’t admit it, so I will convince you to die today.
Carry it up. "
After saying that, a corpse was carried in by two soldiers. After lifting the white cloth, Yuan Shang's pupils shrank suddenly. It was the corpse of his second brother Yuan Xi that he had not had time to deal with.
Han Xin turned over Yuan Xi's body, pointed at the wounds on his back, and said calmly: "Although Yuan Xi had many wounds on his body, the fatal wound was the sword on his back.
Let me ask, who can make Yuan Xi defenseless and give Yuan Xi a fatal blow from behind? "
Hearing this, Yuan Tan's face turned ugly. It was obvious that no one except Yuan Shang could do it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Shang quickly argued: "Han Xin, you must have evidence for what you say. Even if the second brother's fatal wound is on the back, it doesn't prove that I was the one who stabbed him? Who saw it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shang opened his mouth wide and could not utter a word.
Yuan Shang saw Han Xin pull out the sword in his hand, and this sword was Yuan Shang's sword. He used this sword to kill his own brother.
"Yuan Shang, you don't recognize this sword, right? This is your sword, but it exactly matches the wound on Yuan Xi's body. Now you still dare to say that Yuan Xi was not killed by you?" Han Xin shouted.
