Chapter 222: Deception (Part II)
On the night of the next day, the enemy forces in the city launched several more breakout operations, each time on a larger scale, and even the tanks lost several hundred, but they still failed to break through, and were soon beaten back into the city.
On the morning of the third day, the enemy in the city finally couldn't hold on, and sent the major general with a few followers out to negotiate, saying that they wanted to surrender, but Zhao Chun needed to meet a series of conditions for them.
With such a result, Zhao Chun naturally couldn't ask for it, and happily received them. It's just that at this time, Zhao Chun received a strange stranger's message, the content of the message was very simple, only two words "there are ghosts".
When Zhao Chungang saw this message, he was a little puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that these people came to negotiate the surrender was fake? They wanted to use the negotiations to their advantage? Thinking of this, Zhao Chun made some arrangements, isn't it just a few people? Even if they are peerless masters, they have a way to let them come and go.
After welcoming the major general and his party into the tent, Zhao Chun ordered someone to serve tea and said, "You are the messenger of the defenders in the city, what is your name, and what rank are you in the army?"
"My name is Chen She, I am a major general in the army, may I ask you is the famous Zhao Chun, it is really better to meet than to be famous, so young. Chen She is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Well, you're also very good, you dare to bring only a few people into my barracks to deceive me. Zhao Chun looked at him with a smile and said.
Chen She was taken aback, then calmed down and said, "Sir, where did you start talking about this? I came to discuss the surrender of our army on behalf of the defenders in the city, where does the word 'deception' come from?"
Zhao Chun smiled and said, "Let me ask you, how many defenders are there in the city?"
"There were 500,000 troops, but after two days of fighting, tens of thousands of people were lost. Chen She said very honestly, he knew that the worse he said, the more he could make Zhao Chun believe that they were at the end of their rope and had no choice but to surrender.
"You still have a lot of food in the city, and you have plenty of weapons and ammunition. ”
"The grain stored in the city could have lasted for three months, but last night it was hit by artillery fire in a grain warehouse, losing thousands of tons, I'm afraid it won't last for ten days, not to mention, there are still a large number of refugees in the city, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, if we don't surrender, I'm afraid we will starve to death in the city, maybe there will be a phenomenon of cannibalism." Chen She said, try to say as much as possible.
"I heard that the supreme commander of the defenders in the city is Qin Huaizhong? He is Bati's right-hand man, the most trusted by Bhatti, will someone like him surrender easily?"
Chen She smiled without changing his face and said: "Sir, you don't know, since Bhatti sat in the position of president, he only trusted his relatives, and those brothers who used to fight the world with him have been suppressed, and General Qin Huaizhong has not had a good time during this time." Moreover, I heard that Mr. Corporal Lixian loves the people like a son and is resourceful, and our General Qin admires him very much, but he is in a different camp and has never had the opportunity to meet, and I have always regretted it. ”
"Oh, I didn't know I was so good. Zhao Chun smiled a little embarrassedly, thinking that this guy was an interesting person, if it wasn't for the strange message he received earlier, he would really believe this guy.
"This is a condition for my surrender, and I would like to ask you to look at it. Chen She said, handing over a document listing the conditions for the surrender of the defenders in the city.
Zhao Chun looked at the conditions on the document, bargained with him again, and after more than an hour, he finally initialed an agreement.
However, until Chen She left satisfied, he didn't see any unfavorable behavior from him, which made Zhao Chun a little puzzled, but he soon realized that that strange message might be reminding him that the enemy's surrender was fake, and they must have some conspiracy, which made him start more arrangements, hehe, how could a cooked duck still let it fly?
Now that the surrender agreement has been signed, this night, the defenders of Hucheng will no longer break through, and Zhao Chun has not attacked, everything seems to be very calm, which has never been done since the start of the war.
It stands to reason that Chen She's surrender negotiations went smoothly, and he secretly recorded the whole process and handed it back to Qin Huaizhong to see.
After Qin Huaizhong watched the video, he was also very satisfied with Chen She's ability, and couldn't find anything wrong, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that this was too smooth, and he was also a little worried, after opening the city gate and surrendering tomorrow, could he suddenly launch a rebellion within Zhao Chun under Zhao Chun's guard, and whether he could achieve the expected results, if it was self-defeating and turned into a real surrender, then his life would be over.
He then summoned all the officers above the middle rank of the army and all the staff members overnight to discuss how to act tomorrow and how to achieve the greatest victory, and discussed in detail every detail that might happen.
Despite this, he was still a little uneasy, and formed a document on the process of this deception and the details of its implementation, and reported it to Bhatti overnight to ask for his instructions.
After receiving this news, Bhatti couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked someone to call Mr. Yi to tell him that Qin Huaizhong was preparing to surrender, and then when the surrender ceremony was held, he suddenly told him about the plan to attack Zhao Chun's army.
Mr. Yi was also shocked, and thought for a while: "Qin Huaizhong's plan seems to be very clever, but it also has a great risk, in case some of his officers and soldiers are unwilling to contribute, and the fake surrender becomes a real surrender, our 500,000 army will be finished." ”
"Then what should I do? I will immediately give Qin Huaizhong an order and let him cancel this plan? This is 500,000 elites, and my old capital is almost all here. How long will it take for our reinforcements to reach Tiger City?, and why are they so slow?" Bhatti said anxiously.
"They should be there tomorrow night, well, maybe we can get them to postpone the surrender until five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so that when they attack, our reinforcements will be in time, and then we can flank the front and back and win in one fell swoop." Mr. Yi said.
"Are you sure this will really work?" Bhatti was still full of doubts, mainly because since the beginning of the war, the war had never been smooth, and every time he opened the war report, he saw the news that he had nothing but defeat or failure.
"It's hard to be foolproof, and now the enemy army has spread the news that General Qin Huaizhong led the 500,000 defenders of Hucheng to surrender, their purpose is very simple, one is to provoke you and kill Qin Huaizhong and their family and friends, and the other is to form a public opinion offensive in the country, causing a kind of General Qin Huaizhong really lost the war and had to surrender to them when there was no hope of escaping. In this way, Qin Huaizhong's pressure will be unprecedentedly great, and under this pressure, it will be difficult for him to make a rational choice. Mr. Yi analyzed.
"So what are we going to do? Can we just watch like this?"
"No, let's first control the families of Qin Huaizhong and his officers, and send them the video, stating that as long as they win, not only will their families be fine, but also endless glory and wealth are waiting for them, so that we can hold their weakness, and we are not afraid that they will not do their best. Mr. Yi said that this strategy was quite vicious.
"Okay, it's really worthy of Yi Junshi, in this way, I can rest assured, I will send someone to do it immediately. I don't believe that the yellow-haired boy can still toss any tricks this time. Bhatti said.
Mr. Yi laughed wickedly......
Early the next morning, when Zhao Chun was preparing for the surrender ceremony, he received news from Qin Huaizhong, saying that because the thinking of some officers and soldiers in the army had not yet changed, and he needed a little time to do ideological work, the surrender ceremony was held at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Chun knew that he wanted to play some tricks, but he didn't care, since he knew that he was going to surrender, no matter what tricks he played, the result was not the same? Moreover, he also got in touch with the Nine Hall Lord and others, and he asked that when the surrender ceremony was held at five o'clock in the afternoon, the personnel lurking in the city would find a way to destroy the enemy's ammunition depot and communication department, as long as these were destroyed, the morale of Qin Huaizhong's army would be greatly damaged, and it would be difficult for them to resist at that time.
The time quickly pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Huaizhong appeared at the city gate on time with a group of his staff. The city gate was slowly lowered, Qin Huaizhong led people out of it, and Zhao Chun led people to greet them.
"General Qin is really a trustworthy person, welcome welcome, we will be a family in the future, Bhatti went against the sky, and made the prosperous and stable Huoyan country angry, and the people lived in dire straits, General Qin abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is really rare. Zhao Chun laughed.
"Mr. Zhao is young and promising, worried about the country and the people, and I have always admired him. Qin Huaizhong squeezed out a smile and said, the poor boy he didn't care about back then has now become the commander of the three armies, and his life is impermanent.
"General Qin has won the award, but this is not the place to speak, and I ask General Qin to deign to speak in the tent in front. Zhao Chundao.
Qin Huaizhong glanced at his subordinates and walked over first.
At this time, Xiaolu led thousands of people to quickly rush into the city through the city gate.
Qin Huaizhong was shocked and said, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?
Zhao Chun smiled and said, "Didn't General Qin say that some of your subordinates were not convinced? I let my army go in and take over the city defense, so that some people with two hearts would not sabotage and affect our handover." ”
Qin Huaizhong secretly complained in his heart, but he had to pretend to be casual on his face, and said, "It's still Mr. Zhao who is thoughtful." ”
As he was talking, he had already arrived at the tent that Zhao Chun had set up on the edge of the city in advance, and Zhao Chun said, "General Qin, please." ”
In desperation, Qin Huaizhong had no choice but to walk in, because according to the plan, after he signed an agreement with Zhao Chun, he found an excuse to return to the city, while his subordinates led the soldiers out to surrender, and after entering Zhao Chun's military camp, he would take the opportunity to attack. Of course, he also has a plan, that is, in case Zhao Chun suddenly attacks and detains him and his entourage, he will press the button of a remote control, which is a signal, and when the people in the city receive the signal, they will immediately attack.
