Chapter 241: The Battle of Qingxu (14)

As the sun sets, the fiery sunset dominates the sky, and the city walls, covered in flames, seem to blend with the sunset.

The burning of the city, in general, is a method employed when one is forced into a corner and chooses to defend the city at all costs.

Yuan Tan watched the blazing flames on the city walls, feeling the increasing heat, and a flame of determination ignited within his heart.

Originally, the white horse general Liu Yan was also like this. He prepared in advance to set the city on fire at a critical moment, taking countless soldiers from the Yuan army to be buried with him. Now, this general, whose name is not even known, surprisingly possesses the same courage and determination to die.

He had heard from Xu You, the commander of Fengmanlou, about the mausoleum and grand hall of the Cao army. However, he couldn't understand what use there was in mere posthumous reputation?

When a person dies, they lose everything!

Behind the scenes, all the sorrow and glory are just superficial tricks, what really matters is what we have in our hands to enjoy!

Yuan Tan looked at the city gate being forcefully smashed open, and in a fit of anger, he directly grabbed his ring-headed sword and drilled into the small hole. The guards behind him were terrified and pale, but they followed Yuan Tan one after another. They had no choice, they were Yuan Tan's bodyguards, even if it was a den of tigers and wolves inside, they had to go in. If Yuan Tan was harmed, not to mention Yuan Shao, even Zhang He alone would flay them alive, pull out their tendons, and torture them in countless ways!

Yuan Tan rushed into the city and saw that it was still engulfed in flames. It was unclear whether it was the reflection of the fire or if these soldiers had gone berserk. Their eyes were bloodshot, resembling ferocious beasts choosing their prey.

When a soldier of the Cao army saw Yuan Tan, who was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames. He raised his sword and charged towards Yuan Tan, shouting angrily, "

“杀袁狗!”

“杀袁狗!”

一声声“杀袁狗”从四面八方传来,似乎是在应和这名曹军士卒的怒吼一般。

Whoosh!

一支利箭从袁谭后方射中了向袁谭杀来的那名曹军士卒的胸口,袁谭回过头看去,发现是自己的一名护卫射的,向他点头示意。

可那名护卫却顿时面色大变,高声喊道“大公子当心身后!”

袁谭听见一声怒喝,急忙转头看去,却见那名被箭矢射中胸口的曹军士卒将胸口的箭矢直接拔了出来,左手握着箭矢,右手提刀,加速向袁谭杀来。而袁谭却被这名不要命的曹军士兵给惊到了,一时楞在当场,都忘记挥刀格挡。

The blade wind has already reached in front of him. Yuan Tan quickly leans back to avoid the horizontal slash towards his head. However, the soldier from the Cao army relentlessly continues his attack and seizes the opportunity to pounce on Yuan Tan. With his left hand, he directly inserts an arrow into the left side of Yuan Tan's chest.

"Ah!"

Yuan Tan let out a painful groan as an arrow pierced his chest. The guards behind him turned pale, their faces filled with horror. They raised their swords and attacked the Caocao soldier who killed Yuan Tan.

The Caocao soldier, however, burst into laughter. He had successfully killed Yuan Tan!

他杀了大将军袁绍长子袁谭!

他死后必然能被安排在壮陵和壮阁靠前的位置!

面对袁谭众护卫砍来的刀剑,他不闪不避,亦然举起手中刀,向着身下的袁谭,意欲再补一刀,确保万无一失。袁谭的护卫岂能让这名曹军士卒得逞,先不说袁谭有没有救,哪怕袁谭真的死了,他们也要保住袁谭的尸体不被亵渎。

One guard directly severed the wrist of the Cao army soldier who was holding a knife, another guard pierced his chest with a sword, and then another guard beheaded him with a single strike. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

Although they managed to kill the Cao soldier, the expressions of the guards still remained grim. One of them placed a hand on Yuan Tan's wrist, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Thump, thump, thump! Translation:

这名护卫起初以为是自己太过紧张,毕竟他也只是抱着最后一丝希望来试试的。

"This!"

"The young master still has a pulse!"

This guard jumped up excitedly, and the people around him also breathed a sigh of relief.

“咳咳,咳咳!”袁谭突然睁开了双眼,咳出了一口鲜血,显然身上伤势不轻。

袁谭感觉自己的脑子有些恍恍惚惚的,随着护卫将自己从城门上的小洞送去城之后才意识到自己刚刚是被一名不要命的曹军士卒用箭矢刺入胸口。

Yuan Tan couldn't help but feel a chilling sense of terror. If it weren't for his heart being located on the right side, this arrow might have truly taken his life. However, even so, the arrow still injured his internal organs. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, there is still a risk to his life.

Yuan Tan retreated back to the camp, and the military doctor quickly treated his injuries, stopping the bleeding. However, Yuan Tan's internal organs were severely injured, making it impossible for him to continue participating in the battle. The soldiers of Yuan's army were furious upon seeing their commander-in-chief so severely wounded.

Yuan Tan's vice general Zhang Xun is Zhang He's younger cousin, sent to assist Yuan Tan. Faced with this situation, he is extremely angry.

Originally, even though General Qiu was determined not to surrender to the Yuan army, it still resulted in considerable casualties. And then the burning of cities caused even more damage to the Yuan army. Now, with Yuan Tan heavily wounded, Zhang Xun has started to lose his composure. Translated:

Especially the last item!

The head coach is seriously injured, a great shame!

"Son of a bitch! Slaughter the city!"

"Kill all these damn dogs of Cao!"

"Understood!"

众将领命,纷纷满脸杀气奔向城中各处,曹军士卒和百姓纷纷被张寻部将屠戮一空,但曹军士兵和百姓临死前也是给袁军带来的极大的伤亡。

After learning that Yuan Tan had been seriously injured, Zhang He was also shocked and furious. However, it was Zhang Xun's actions that enraged Zhang He even more. His face turned red as he immediately slapped Zhang Xun across the face in front of all the other generals. Translation: "

"You damn fool! Do you even know what you've done? Are the civilians and soldiers of the Cao army not human beings? You say kill and you kill, so what's the difference between you and those barbaric foreigners who massacre innocent people!"

What is the basis for our army's attack on Xuzhou? First, it is a surprise attack catching the enemy off guard! Second, the people of Xuzhou are not loyal to the newly established Cao army, so we can take advantage of this to capture the counties of Xuzhou. But what about you? What have you done? Your massacre in the city will make no one believe in our Yuan army! Compared to our Yuan army, which slaughters the people, they will naturally choose to align with the Cao army! You are actually helping the Cao army gain popular support!

As Zhang He continued to beat Zhang Xun, he angrily reprimanded him. The more Zhang Xun listened, the more frightened he became, realizing the grave mistake he had made. He dared not argue back. While Zhang He continued to scold, he suddenly found it difficult to breathe. His face turned purplish-red, and he slapped his chest, trying to relieve the tightness in his chest, allowing himself to catch his breath.
