    The night is dark.

    Yan Liang stood there, motionless, like a cold statue.

    An hour has passed. The soldiers have been shivering in the cold wind for a long time, and their faces are all red from the cold.

    There was still no movement in the direction of Yecheng.

    Everyone began to waver, wondering if their judgment was wrong. If Cao Ren really wanted to surrender, wouldn't he have missed a great opportunity?

    Yan Liang remained motionless, with no sign of wavering on his face.

    After standing there for a while, Yan Liang's ears suddenly twitched slightly. With his extraordinary ability as a general, he vaguely noticed something.

    Listen carefully, from the west direction, there seems to be a faint sound of footsteps coming from far and near. Although the sound is very weak, it cannot escape Yan Liang's ears.

    "The enemy is coming." A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.

    The soldiers on the left and right were refreshed, and they subconsciously clenched the swords and guns in their hands.

    Not long after, the sound of collapse sounded from the west. This sudden sound was like a spark of fire, igniting the blood of the Chu army soldiers in a blink of an eye.

    Everyone knows that the Han army is coming.

    The scouts came at full speed and stood in front of them.

    "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of Han troops have raided the wall and are currently destroying it."

    The scout's report once again confirmed the Han army's breakout, and confirmed that the speculations of Yan Liang, Jia Xu and other counselors were completely correct.

    "Order the troops to stay still for the time being and let the enemy out of the wall." Yan Liang shouted with his whip raised.

    If we attack the Han army now, it will certainly cause great damage to the Han army, but it may also frighten the Han army and flee back to Yecheng. In this case, the battle of Yecheng will be delayed.

    Yan Liang now wants to let the Han army out of the wall and let them think that his conspiracy has succeeded.  But he didn't want to fall into a trap and fell into the trap set by Yan Liang.

    Fifty thousand Han troops have their arrows ready, waiting for Yan Liang¡¯s order.

    But at the wall, Cao Ren was still commanding his soldiers, frantically destroying the Chu army's wall.

    The soldiers of the Han army went crazy and tried their best to destroy the wall, as if they wanted to vent all the anger they had suffered from being besieged for several months on the earthen wall that symbolized the siege of the Chu army.

    Boom boom!

    Pieces of earth and stone were pushed down, and the dust and mist dispersed.  A broader vision was presented to the Han army, giving them hope.

    "Huh, Yan Thief, you want to surround me, Cao Ren. It's not that easy." A sarcastic smile surged on Cao Ren's face.

    Under Cao Ren's scolding, 20,000 Han troops took action and soon dug a gap of seven to eight feet in the wall.

    The width was enough, so Cao Ren ordered the work to stop, and he immediately rode out of the gap first.  Twenty thousand Han troops rushed forward and poured out of the gap like a torrent.

    The Han troops, who thought they had escaped and ascended to heaven, were all excited and ran wildly after Cao Ren.  He tried to pass through the Chu army's outer camp and broke out in one fell swoop.

    Cao Ren and his Han army were completely unaware that their every move had been scouted by the Chu army.  He rushes to repay Yan Liang all the time.

    When Yan Liang learned that the Han army had broken through the siege and poured into the open field.  He knew the time had come for the final blow.

    Yan Liang took a breath, raised his whip and shouted: "Send the order to the generals, all the troops are out, it's time to end the battle of Yecheng, let me kill the enemy bandits fiercely!"

    The decree was passed down layer by layer, and the sound of war drums boomed.

    Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Pan Zhang, Tai Shici and other generals led their troops out one after another and rushed towards the Han army who had fallen into the trap in all directions.

    At this time, Cao Ren and the remaining soldiers he had just led fled into the wilderness.

    Just when Cao Ren was secretly rejoicing, thinking that he had escaped the disaster, the rejoicing he had just felt was shattered by the thundering sound of war drums and the shouts of killing.

    Looking around, he saw countless torches lit up, and in the dark night, long golden dragons were coming towards him from all directions.

    The Chu army is the ambush of the Chu army!

    Cao Ren was stunned, and the Han soldiers were also stunned. In the blink of an eye, this hasty army fell into endless panic.

    "Zhuge Liang, you killed me!"

    Cao Ren wanted to scold Zhuge Liang in his heart, but he didn't think much about it. He shouted anxiously: "We have been fooled. The whole army retreats and returns to Yecheng quickly~~"

    The 20,000 frightened Han troops turned back in a hurry and scrambled to escape towards the gap in the wall.

    And when they took it backWhen they came, they found that the wall was already blazing with fire, and rows of Chu troops had stood in the breach, blocking their way.

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

    Before Cao Ren could be shocked, arrows were pouring down like a violent storm. The thousands of soldiers who were fleeing at the front had no time to dodge, and were knocked to the ground by the rain of arrows shot in the darkness.

    ¡°Back off, back off¡ª¡± Cao Ren shouted loudly, reining in his horse and retreating.

    The rushing Han soldiers retreated in panic, not daring to take a step closer to the gap. Nearly 20,000 people were pushed and squeezed into a chaotic mess.

    At this time, the Chu troops from all directions were coming like the wind, like sharp swords, mercilessly stabbing at the panicked lamb of the Han army.

    Zhao Yun danced his spear like the wind, as if entering an uninhabited land, Huang Zhong's sword slashed like a wheel, and was unstoppable along the way. The generals led the elite Chu army, ruthlessly killing the frightened enemies.

    Corpses littered the fields and blood flowed freely.

    In the night, Yan Liang still stood on his horse, quietly watching the siege that would determine the outcome of the Battle of Yecheng.

    Judging from the size of the enemy, the entire Han army is here, and there can be no more breakouts.

    "Send an order to Deng Ai and order him to bring me the cavalry from the Western Camp. I will wipe out the enemy thieves as soon as possible." Yan Liang ordered loudly.

    In order to prevent unexpected situations, although Yan Liang gathered heavy troops at the east gate, he also had a hand in the direction of the west gate. He sent Deng Ai to lead 5,000 cavalry to station there. The Han army had other tricks.

    From the current situation, it seems that Deng Ai's five thousand cavalry no longer need to stay at the west gate. They should be transferred here to quickly wipe out the enemy.

    The scouts galloped up their horses and headed straight for the Western Camp.

    At this moment, in Ye City, Zhuge Liang had galloped back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

    As soon as Zhuge Liang entered the prime minister's mansion, he met the Song family head-on.

    At this time, Mrs. Song had already wrapped herself in a thick coat and prepared some soft clothes with her, just waiting to leave the city with Zhuge Liang.

    "Liang'er, Mom heard that Cao Zixiao and the others have left the city. When should we follow them out?" Mrs. Song asked uneasily.

    Zhuge Liang had a sly smile on his face: "The Yan thief is so scheming that he will be able to see through Cao Ren's false surrender. If we follow him out of the city, we will die."

    Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, not knowing what her son was talking about.

    "If you don't follow General Cao and fight out of the city? Then how can we break out of the encirclement?" Mrs. Song said blankly.

    Zhuge Liang smiled proudly: "Don't worry, mother, there is a shortcut for us, which can ensure that we escape from Yecheng without being noticed. Without further ado, please come with me quickly, mother."

    Zhuge Liang didn't explain much. He just took the confused Song family and more than two hundred close family soldiers, and went straight to the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

    Zhuge Liang was the prime minister of Han Dynasty.  His mansion is naturally very spacious, and there is also a quite extensive garden behind the main hall.

    But since two months ago, Zhuge Liang has sealed the garden in order to protect his reputation, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.

    At this time, Zhuge Liang led a group of people through the grass-built garden wall.  When they entered the garden, Mrs. Song and many unsuspecting soldiers were all shocked.

    Song was surprised to find that in this originally flat garden.  There were actually mountains of mud piled everywhere, and the appearance had completely changed.

    Before Song could ask any more questions, Zhuge Liang had already taken her into a special hall, and Song was surprised to find out.  In the center of the hall, a large pit more than ten feet deep was dug.

    "Mother, this secret path can lead directly to the west gate. The Chu army must have been attracted by Cao Ren to the east gate. If the defense of the soldiers in the west is weakened, we can escape from Yecheng through this secret path from the west gate."

    Mrs. Song was even more surprised and said curiously: "Liang'er, when did you dig this secret tunnel? How come you don't know about it at all?"

    "Mom, don't ask any more questions and escape from Yecheng. My son will explain to his mother slowly." Zhuge Liang didn't want to explain too much.

    In fact, as early as two months ago, Zhuge Liang realized that Yecheng might not be able to defend it.

    At that time, Zhuge Liang, just in case, used his own soldiers and spent nearly two months quietly digging a secret passage outside the city in the back garden.

    And this tunnel was dug just a few days ago to the location Zhuge Liang had calculated in advance. This is why Zhuge Liang suggested Cao Ren break out of the encirclement at that time.

    Zhuge Liang was worried that if the Chu army discovered this secret passage due to long nights and many dreams, all his efforts would be in vain.

    Cao Ren would never have thought that he had already acted as a bait to cover Zhuge Liang's escape.

      "But if we escape from here, what should Cao Zixiao and the 20,000 soldiers do?" Song asked uneasily.

    Zhuge Liang sighed: "My son is determined to defend Yecheng with Cao Zixiao, but after thinking about it, he realizes that he is the emperor's right-hand man. If he is lost, the emperor will have no way to rely on him. Therefore, he decided to keep his useful body and continue to assist him."  Emperor, if you want to survive, you must sacrifice Cao Zixiao and those 20,000 soldiers. All of this is for the sake of the overall situation. "

    With a grimace on his face, Zhuge Liang explained his difficulties to his stepmother in a sad tone.

    After hearing this, Ms. Song sighed quietly and said: "As a mother, I am a Buddhist. I really can't bear to have so many people sacrifice themselves for Liang'er and mother. But mother, listen to what you say, if Liang'er, you have  With this mistake, the emperor lost his support. If he were killed by Yan Liang, countless people in the world would die miserably. Liang'er, is that true? "

    "Mother is absolutely right, that's what I mean. Everything I did was because of the Yan thief's persecution." Zhuge Liang said in a dilemma.

    "I hope the Buddha has eyes, and on behalf of all sentient beings in the world, let's get rid of the devil Yan Thief." Mrs. Song twisted the Buddhist beads again and cursed Yan Liang.

    Seeing that he had convinced his mother, Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not too late, we have to set off. My son will open the way in front. If there is no problem, my mother will follow."

    " With that said, Zhuge Liang asked a dozen of his close soldiers to go into the pit first. Then, Zhuge Liang also jumped down and got into the secret passage without hesitation.
