Five hundred and fifty-seven? The End of the War (42)

The next thing, everything went down according to the script that Zhou Yanbo was thinking about in his head, and it should have come like this. According to Zhou Yanbo's orders, on the night of the sixth day of the siege, the Zhou army, which was surrounded on all sides, launched an attack on the Mengsun Palace in the mountain city according to the route that had been agreed in advance.

After all, for the Zhou family, it is not an attack in the real sense, it is just a foreshadowing, so in addition to the intimidation of the Zhou family's army, the actual attack did not use much spare power, but because the Zhou family controlled the muskets and artillery, and the Mengsun army had already been made out of Zhou Yanbo's sense of fear, the Mengsun army almost used all its strength to resist the so-called "attack" of the Zhou family.

"Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that this is not small." Zhou Yanbo said.

"Can it be small?" Zhou Yansu said.

"Then Yan'er, I'll test you." Zhou Yanbo said, "If I just attacked Meng Sun's house for two to three days without stopping, and it was non-stop harassment day and night. So after two or three days, what do you think of Meng Sunjun? ”

"Well...... Zhou Yansu thought for a while, "it will definitely collapse, even if it doesn't collapse, then it should be on the verge of collapse." ”

"State your reasons."

"Looking at the current situation of Meng Sunjun, you can guess, first of all, in terms of numbers, brother, you have to use more people than Mengsun's family, brother can reasonably divide people and take turns to attack, but Meng Sun can't, they must use all their forces on defense, so they will definitely have a strong sense of fatigue, and brother, you burned their food, strong fatigue plus hunger...... Even an iron man would have been tortured to death. ”

"That's a good point, but don't underestimate the will of man." Zhou Yanbo said.

"What did you say, brother...... I just don't understand. ”

"They want to defend Meng Sun's palace, but I think about it, it should indeed be to the limit, but even if it is the limit, the Zhou army will still suffer heavy losses when it is attacked, but there is no way, who let the other party occupy an absolute advantage in terms of geographical advantages, even if it is a firearm, it is just an auxiliary effect."

"But it should be about to reach the limit, if you want to break them, then you need to disintegrate from the inside, and you have to trouble Meng Sunying again, really."

"I guess...... Is it a rebellion again? ”

"Before the siege network, Luo Ying has been staring at Meng Sun's people all the time, since Meng Sunjing came to power, there are not a few people who oppose him, after all, there are many supporters in the Wenchen side of the Meng Sun family, and Meng Sunying, who has always been the Meng Sun family's resistance to foreign attacks, actually has a good impression among many generals......

"In other words, Meng Sunying has supporters in both cultural governance and martial arts?"

"The words are a little biased, but they are true." Zhou Yanbo said, "At that time, there was indeed a vigorous battle for the inheritance between Meng Sunjing and Meng Sunying, one occupied the support of almost all the generals, and the other occupied the support of most of the civil servants. ”

"After Meng Sunjing came to power, although the Meng Sun family was thriving, many of Meng Sunjing's policies gradually became unpopular, after all, many things were done in a hurry, and I heard that many people were also very opposed to the Zhou family, but Meng Sunjing still insisted on going his own way."

"So now there are many people in the palace who can rebel?"

"As long as Meng Sunying writes them a few 'love letters', maybe it will have a good effect." Zhou Yanbo's voice became more and more brisk.

"But I really want to thank Meng Sunying, thank him for sending me to Mengsun's Chiba Mountain that time, if my opponent is Meng Sunying, maybe it will be even more difficult."

"I think my brother really wants to thank some Meng Sunying, but he should thank himself even more." Zhou Yansu said, "Just like you said, if there was no such thing, my brother would not have appeared here with Zhou Jiajun, and even if he appeared here, then he would have to face Meng Sunying, Meng Sun's defensive master, and the heavens seem to favor you." ”

"yes......"

A little later, Zhou Yanbo called Meng Sunying over and told him what he said, but Meng Sunying smiled slightly, he had already done this thing.

After that, two days passed, and it had been eleven days since Zhou Yanbo surrounded the mountain city, and at this time, it had been six days since the palace ran out of food.

And Zhou Yanbo deliberately chose noon, the Zhou family camp was cooking, and the smell of the food reached Zhou Yanbo's nose, Zhou Yanbo was thinking about whether this fragrance would spread to the palace, and whether it would shake them, although people's hearts can be predicted, but they can't completely go as they wish, after all, this is a big variable.

"Is there any movement in the palace recently?" Zhou Yanbo asked Xiao Yuan.

"There were two or three soldiers who escaped privately, but the number was pitiful."

"Isn't that great? The morale of the other party has been shaken, and if the other party's soldiers mutini and force Meng Sunjing to surrender, it will be absolutely ruined. ”

"Still surrounded like this?"

"Of course, the captain of the guy who went to the barracks called over."

After a while, the captain trotted over to salute Zhou Yanbo and asked what he commanded.

"In the afternoon, I went to make steamed buns, and I was ...... It must be much smaller than normal steamed bread, and it must be sweet, and the quantity is ...... A hundred. ”

"A hundred small steamed buns, or sweet?" The captain was very puzzled, "I don't know what the Lord is going to do with this, if it is a reward for the soldiers, this amount is too small." ”

"It's a reward, but it's the soldiers of the Mengsun family who are rewarded, how to do it is your business, it must be small, if it is big, it will have an impact on the feather arrows, these steamed buns will be sent to the palace through the feather arrows."

"Isn't this sending food to the other party for no reason?"

"That's right, go ahead and do it, put in a little more effort, make it delicious, make it sure to be able to stabilize on the feather arrow, and when it's done, you can go to the longbowmen to give it a try, I'll allow it."

"Yes, yes!"

After the head of the gang left, Xiao Yuan asked, "Immortal master, are you going to send the prepared hundred steamed buns into the palace with feather arrows?" Why do such a ridiculous thing? Isn't this sending food to the other side? ”

"Xiao Yuan, let me ask you, when do people feel the hungriest?"

"Naturally, I haven't eaten for five or six days, and I'm dying of hunger." Xiao Yuan said without hesitation.

"That's not right." Zhou Yanbo shook his head, "At that time, people had already been hungry for so long, and they were already numb, and they could only feel four or five points of hunger. ”

"And when is it?"

"Of course, it's time for people to be dissatisfied with their desires." Zhou Yanbo said with a smile, "When you have a ten-point hunger, someone gives you a little food, which makes you less hungry, but if you are not satisfied, it will remind you to ask for more, and then you will have a fifteen-point hunger." ”

"Maybe this number is not quite correct, but the truth should be correct, haven't you heard of the theory that painting bread to satisfy hunger will only make you hungrier?"

"Is that so......" Xiao Yuan had never felt like this, and he didn't know if what Zhou Yanbo said was true.

"Take good care of your body, and be careful when you also fall into a situation of desire and dissatisfaction, after crossing this line, it will be called greed." Zhou Yanbo patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder and said.

In the afternoon, all the steamed buns were done, and then Zhou Yanbo wrote a letter of persuasion, although there were only three or four simple sentences, but they were all written by Zhou Yanbo after careful consideration, and then summoned all the people who could write to copy a hundred copies, and then took the steamed buns and sent them to the palace with feather arrows.

"For five days in a row, I did all this, and told the guys that the steamed buns should be better and better every day, and they could add some fillings."

"Then the Epistle ......"

"Write 100 copies a day and send them in, don't be too troublesome."

I have to say that Zhou Yanbo's trick is very useful, it should be insidious enough for the Meng Sun family, this trick of sending food directly to the psychological defense line of the Meng Sun army was fragmented, more and more people began to slowly escape from the palace and surrender to the Zhou family's army, and Zhou Yanbo did not break his promise, the surrendered people ordered the army to be entertained, even if the Meng Sun family no matter how much they stopped it, there was no way to stop the continuous development of things, after all, the people of the Zhou family even helped the other party get the escape route.

Four days have passed, under the attack of the Meng Sun army who kept fleeing and some officials of Meng Sun Ying who planned to force the palace, Meng Sunjing had no choice but to surrender to the Zhou family, and then Meng Sun Ying, who entered the city, converted all the Mengsun banners of Qianye Mountain into the banners of the Zhou family, so that Mengsun's home city of Qianye Mountain fell into the hands of Zhou Yanbo, and the remaining territory of the Mengsun family also became scattered because of Meng Sunjing's arrest and was divided into many small forces.

And after Zhou Yanbo left these stalls to Meng Sunying and Ye Qianxi, he led his army back to Jiazhou, as early as not long ago, Yun Yun and Zhou Yanxing also ended the attack on the Han family and returned to Jiazhou, although they did not attack Anjing, but the Han family wanted to concentrate their troops against the Zhou family again, it was impossible.

And Han Yongran, after following Zhou Yanbo back to Jiazhou, first paid homage to Jiang Hongyuan's grave, and then returned to Han's house, Zhou Yanbo fulfilled his promise and released him, because Zhou Yanbo believed that one day Han Yongran would definitely return to Zhou's house, and he had this kind of self-confidence.

This time, the encirclement network was also disbanded because the various forces were broken by the Zhou family, although the Zhou family was still surrounded by many forces, and the Zhou family basically consumed the material and financial resources accumulated before because of this incident.

"So be it." Zhou Yanbo thought about it after hearing this situation.
