In the middle of the night, although the craftsmen and servants in the baggage camp were a little nervous, they did not feel the real threat. It was not until the war ended that they came out to help clear the battlefield. Seeing the corpses and the river water stained with blood, they couldn't believe their eyes.

More than two thousand soldiers not only withstood the attacks of more than 10,000 people, but also achieved a great victory. While breathing a sigh of relief, they were inevitably a little jealous. After winning the battle, there was a trophy reward. These soldiers were already enjoying the best treatment, but now they made another round, which is really jealous.

When they heard that they were going to attack the He family manor, the craftsmen suddenly became energetic. They could not fight with others, but operating stone throwing machines was their task. After so many days, they were just waiting for this moment. Without Huang Chengyan's mobilization, they devoted themselves to the preparations with great fighting spirit.

Although Zhou Yu once ordered the slashing machine to give up, Lou Gui had no idea about these big guys, and Huang Chengyan did not leave him anything that could be thrown, so almost all of these slashing machines were moved and intact. Under the operation of the craftsmen, eight slashing machines aimed at the gate of Hejia Manor, installed stones, pulled up counterweights, and were ready to go.

Yuan Shu sat on the hillside, watching the craftsmen in the baggage camp busy, but he was still not sure. The stone thrower was not a new thing. He had seen it for a long time. These stone throwers were just bigger, and how powerful could they be. Lei Bo, who was beside him, didn't care and looked around with indifferent expression.

On the corner building of the He Family Manor, the He Family's army did not take it seriously. At midnight, more than 1,000 people went out, but only more than 200 people came back. Sun Ce's army's combat effectiveness was indeed amazing, but the He family's fort was strong and could not be defeated with high combat power. If the He family was so easy to fight, there would be no need to wait for Sun Ce to come, and the Yellow Turban would be looted in the first year of Zhongping.

He Xian's wife Yin Ei stood in the fort, looking out through the lookout, worried. He Xian went to Wancheng and fought against Yuan Shu with Cao Cao. He led his troops to attack at night. He thought he would defeat the enemy outside the village, but he didn't expect that in the middle of the night, He Xian was defeated. Life and death were uncertain, but the enemy outside the village was even more motivated and prepared to attack while the victory was won.

She had an ominous feeling, and this time it was probably a little bit of good luck. Although the He family manor was very strong, those huge shelves were not good at straits. What made her even more uneasy was the flag opposite. There was a phoenix spreading its wings on the flag, a black battle flag, and a red phoenix shaking in the morning breeze, both like a ball of fire and a pool of blood.

Yin Wei bit her lip, plucked up her courage, and said softly: "A Gu, why don't we... let's surrender. The Yuan family is in great power and we can't afford to offend."

He Xian's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, glared at Yin Xi. "What are you afraid of? Although the Yuan family is powerful, Yuan Shu is not the head of the Yuan family. The powerful people in Nanyang do not support him. If we surrender, wouldn't we be enemies of the powerful people in Nanyang? Even if we want to surrender, we can only surrender Yuan Shao, not Yuan Shu." She was silent for a long time and murmured: "Our He family has been wrong once, and we can't be wrong again."

"Madam, you'd better go back to the back house. The enemy will attack soon." The commander Wu Kuang rushed over and bowed to show his respects. He was originally He Jin's general. After He Jin was killed, he escorted Mrs. Zhang and Yin Xian to flee back to Nanyang. He was deeply trusted by Mrs. Zhang and always served as a commander and was responsible for the safety of the manor. He and Yuan Shao were very good, but had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu. He Xian supported Cao Cao and opposed Yuan Shu, and he played a very critical role.

As soon as he saw Wu Kuang, Yin Wei immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to say a word.

Wu Kuang glanced at it, understood in his heart, and chuckled softly: "Madam, young lady, don't worry, the manor is strong, let alone Sun Ce, even if Yuan Gaolu came in person, he would not be able to capture the manor in a few months. Xu Ziyuan had already gone to Yingchuan and Runan. It won't take long before the reinforcements of the leader Yuan's alliance will arrive and we will be safe."

"God is the best general." Mrs. Zhang smiled all over her face, nodded repeatedly, gave Yin Wei a wink, pulled her out of the door, and walked towards the back house. As soon as they left the door, they heard the sound of war drums outside the manor. Knowing that the war was about to begin, they did not dare to neglect, so they accelerated their pace into the inner courtyard. Before they even stepped into the door of the inner courtyard, they heard a harsh whistling sound. Yin Wei was shocked, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but scream.

Several black shadows flew across the sky and fell into the manor, and one of them hit a courtyard wall. With a loud "boom--" a big hole was broken into the courtyard wall, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. A black shadow rolled in with the smoke and dust, and rushed towards Yin Yu and Mrs. Zhang with a rumbling loud noise.

Yin Wei subconsciously opened her arms to protect Mrs. Zhang. "A Gu, go away--"

Mrs. Zhang didn't move until Yin Wei's back hit her and knocked her to the side. A big stone rolled past them, crossing half of the yard, and hitting the opposite yard wall, making the yard wall shaking, and the tiles on the top of the wall fell down, falling to the ground, making the slap.

"A Gu--" Yin Wei turned around and pulled Mrs. Zhang to drink, but found that Mrs. Zhang was staring with her eyes, her mouth opened, and her face was twisted. She turned her head along with Mrs. Zhang's gaze, and was stunned.

The dock where they were just here was rolling in smoke. In the smoke, the dome of the dock was gone, leaving only half of the wall. Several figures fell from the dock and screamed in horror, one of which seemed to be Wu Kuang's voice.

Yin Wei turned her head and looked at Mrs. Zhang, and was speechless for a while. "Child, I really deserve to listen to you." Mrs. Zhang murmured, tears bursting out from her eyes. "The He family is wrong again, and this last little foundation will be destroyed in my hands."

Yuan Shuteng stood up, raised his hand, and pointed at the main gate fortress with only broken walls left by Hejia Manor. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but just shook his fingers hard. "What's going on?"

Lei Bo was also stunned, his eyes wide open, not knowing what to say. The main gate fortress is the same as the city gate fortress. Although it is not built with rammed earth and is not as strong as the city wall, it is also the most vulnerable to attack. It is usually very solid. The stones thrown by the stone thrower can penetrate the roof or the wall, but it cannot have such great destructive power. As soon as the battle begins, why did the fortress be destroyed?

The two looked at the stone thrower at the same time. At this time, they noticed that these stone throwers were not only one larger than the common stone thrower, but also had different launch methods. There was no need for anyone to pull them when launching. Only one person hit the trigger, and the high wooden arm was thrown up. The stone thrown was not only large, but also fast, whistling, and the sound of breaking the wind could be heard over a hundred steps.

"Huh! Huh!" There were two loud noises, and two huge rocks flew up in the air, flying over more than 300 steps. One of them flew past the wall of the fort, and the other was in the middle of the wall, and another muffled sound, and smoke and dust were scattered. The morning breeze blew, blowing away the smoke and dust, revealing the residues of the fort.

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, turned around and punched Lei Bo's chest, laughing loudly.

"Haha, Mr. Nai is picking up treasure-"
