434 Freezing three feet takes a night of cold
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but sometimes it only takes a night of cold, nothing is absolute.
Early in the morning, the South Vietnamese soldiers stationed under the city looked at the city, and were immediately surprised, although it snowed a little last night, but there was not much, how did the Xiguan city wall become an ice wall overnight, the sun shines on the crystal ice, although it is only seen from a distance, it can be seen that the ice on the city wall should be very thick.
The marshal Nangong Tianzheng was sitting in the big tent drinking tea, he was about to summon some generals to discuss the siege of the city, this order had not yet been issued, but a Chinese officer hurriedly came to the big tent to ask for a meeting.
"Marshal Qiyu; Big things are not good. "The middle officer's face was flustered, Nangong Tian was a steady and old man, he hurriedly asked;" When to panic? Speak quickly and listen to Ben Shuai. ”
The lieutenant officer steadied his heart for a moment; "Back to Dashuai, somehow the entire Xiguan city wall is covered with a thick layer of ice, if we want to attack the city, I'm afraid we can't do anything, we can only think of other ways."
Nangong Tian, I was very puzzled when I heard this, there was nothing abnormal when he led the officers to survey the Xiguan city wall yesterday? Although the city wall is strong, it is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and he is still secretly proud, how can it become an ice city again?
"Come out with Ben Shuai to find out." Nangong Tian took the lieutenant officer and a few accompanying guards out of the big tent, and then stood two miles away near the Xiguan moat and looked towards the city, between the Xiguan City suspension bridge was withdrawn, and the entire city wall was plated with a thick layer of ice, the crystal ice was a little dazzling in the distance under the sunlight, looking at the city, the city surrounded this large number of soldiers, and the city put aside a lot of artillery, crossbow arrows and other equipment to prevent the other party from attacking the city, it can be said that the handle Senyin. The temperature here has reached the lowest value of the year, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to wait for the ice to melt completely, because the northwest region has a relatively long winter, and the temperature is extremely low, so once the city wall is covered with this thick ice, it is not so easy to melt. Nangong Tian looked at the ice city and sighed secretly in his heart; "Hey; How can this be? How can this be? How is it good? Nangong Tian returned to the big tent of the Chinese army with a sad face, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, but if he didn't attack the city, if he used the underground offensive, but this moat was too wide, I am afraid that if he didn't dig the tunnel, the artillery, crossbow arrows, and big stones placed on the head of the city in the world would come down in one go. If they withdraw their troops like this, how can Nangong Tian be willing, the war situation in South Vietnam is now quite unfavorable to their Nangong family, if they don't take this place and capture King Fu alive, then their family will be completely playful. Nangong Tian thought of this, but he gritted his steel teeth, and his eyes were pulled back, hoping to come up with a suitable attention.
Nangong Tian handed over his officers to the big tent, and the officers stood on both sides with stern expressions, while Nangong Tian sat majestically on the marshal's throne, and the book in front of him was a tiger skin arrow.
Nangong Tian looked at the officers in front of him, then coughed and said; "Ladies and gentlemen; Ben Shuai called you here because I want to tell you something, I think you also know that the method we plan to attack the city is not working now, but this one will not work, and we have the next plan. Nangong Tian deliberately paused as he spoke, and at this time, all the generals in the camp all looked at Nangong Tian's body, all looking forward to his next plan.
Nangong Tian took a sip of water and continued; "From today onwards, send a part of the soldiers to Xiguan City to beg for the enemy and scold the array, from breakfast until dark, take turns to go to the enemy and scold the array, as long as we can provoke King Fu and others, let them come out to fight with us, that one qiē will be easy to do, it is said that King Fu is an impatient person, if we continue to beg the enemy and scold the array, he will definitely not be able to hold his breath."
"What if this trick doesn't work?" An officer in his mid-thirties asked busily.
Nangong Tian smiled coldly; biting the posterior molar tract; \'"If this trick is not good, then we will surround Xiguan in a group, we can't get in, then they don't want to come out, as long as they run out of ammunition and food, we are not afraid that they will not come out. Do you have any objections? ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all think that there are only these two ways that are feasible at present, and Fang Yiyi said in unison to obey the orders of the marshal.
Nangong Tian shook his sleeves; "Go down, all of you."
The generals of the full battalion walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army one after another, and then another relatively young officer led more than 200 people to the city of Xiguan in a hurry and began to curse the people in the city.
"The people in the city listened to me, if you have the ability, you will come out to compete with your grandfather, what kind of ability is just hiding in the city, don't think that you can drive the grandfathers away by freezing the city wall, and the grandfathers will not leave, let's clean up the turtle grandson before leaving, the people on the gang are not very capable, how can I be scared when I see my grandfather, hiding in the city and pretending to be a grandson, what a group of turtle grandsons. ……“
The South Vietnamese people kept scolding, and the scolding came from far and wide, how could the officers and soldiers defending the city not hear it, and they saw the hundreds of people under the city eager to pinch them all to death.
Tang Erhu was sitting in his tent playing chess with Shangguan Tianjue, when the Chinese officer came in to report that the South Vietnamese were begging for the enemy under the city.
Tang Erhu Road; "Just let them scold, let them have two days first, and then clean them up in two days, you must calm down." "But the night they scolded was so ugly, we—" The lieutenant officer was a little out of breath, and his face was impetuous. "If it sounds ugly, use cotton to plate the ears, this is the order of the prince, whoever dares to act rashly will have his head." Shangguan Tianjue's eyes widened, his face showed a fierce light, and the lieutenant officer had no choice but to say that his subordinates obeyed the order, and then hurriedly retreated.
After the lieutenant officer left, Shangguan Tianjue and Tang Erhu continued to duel on the chessboard.
