Chapter 178: Is it feasible to persuade to surrender?
On October 14, the 60th year of Kangxi, not long after the curtain came down on the Battle of Jiujiang, Fu Erdan reorganized the army under Wuchang City and opened the prelude to the Wuchang offensive and defensive battle, but what he didn't expect was that this was the first time that the Qing army attacked Wuchang City at close range, and it was also the last time.
Thousands of Qing troops camped in Wuchang outside the city, because they themselves came from afar, did not carry the relevant siege weapons at all, so they could only arrange some people to prepare the siege of the city chariots and ladders, but there was no better preparation in a hurry, but it made people a little anxious.
Fu Erdan stared at Wuchang City in the distance with a clairglass mirror, but his heart was half cold, he originally thought that Wuchang was empty, but at this time the city was bustling and crowded with defenders, they were wearing the big red clothes of the Fu Han Army, holding flintlock pistols in their hands, and there were more than a dozen cannons on the head of the city.
Looking at it like this, it didn't seem like there was no one in the city, which gave Fu Erdan a headache, so he sent someone to invite Huang Rusong over to find out.
After a long time, Huang Rusong ran over sweating profusely, originally thinking that this Fu Erdan had something good to give him, but he didn't expect to see the current situation in Wuchang City as soon as he came, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"This, this, this...... What's going on? A few days ago, I also sent someone to Wuchang City to confirm that the Chu Rebellion army had indeed been transferred! Even the city defense battalion and the palace guard battalion were not taken to Xianning by Ning thieves a few days ago? ”
"You ask me, how do I know that in the battle in Xianning County, Chu Shun was basically killed by me, and the Chu Shun who ran out in the end was only 500 people, where did so many people pop up now?"
Fu Erdan's face was a little pale, and he even wondered if this Huang Rusong was fooling himself, and said tentatively: "Isn't it the people in the city pretending?" ”
"Yes, yes..... The general is wise, presumably Chu Wei saw that my army was here, and temporarily arrested some people to come and make up for .....it" Huang Rusong's face oozed cold sweat, he really regretted the tradition with Fu Erdan now, but he regretted it but had no choice but to choose one way to go to the dark.
Fu Erdan wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, he heard the defenders of Wuchang City shouting in unison, but they were far away, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Send someone over and listen carefully, what those Chu Rebel dog thieves are talking about!"
"Huh!"
One of the guards rode forward on horseback, and after a few moments he turned around, dismounted and knelt before Voerdan, a little slurking.
"My lord, this Chu Rebellion's words are filthy and ugly, and the servants dare not repeat them...... lest they pollute the ears of adults. ”
"Say! I want to listen, how did Chu Yi arrange it for me? ”
"Chu Wei said: Fu Erdan, you listen well, if you want to find death, you have become a turtle in the urn, there is Wuchang Erlang Army in front, and Jiujiang Fu Han people in the back, don't learn Yongjina, lose the army and die...."
"Traitor! Traitor! Before Fu Erdan could finish listening, the whole person felt the qi and blood surging straight to his head, his face instantly turned red, and he directly pulled out his knife, hoping to capture the city immediately and cut off Ning Zhongyuan's head.
Seeing that Fu Erdan was furious, the guard hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and his forehead instantly turned red.
"Don't be angry, this is Chu Shun's heart-punishing strategy, if the adult loses his mind because of this, then it will be easier to fall into the trap set by Chu Shun!"
Huang Rusong also said repeatedly: "Adult, the little one thinks that this is exactly the manifestation of Chu Shun's weak heart, that is, he hopes to provoke the adult in this way, and then ...... Then ...... "Speaking of this, there is a bit of a distraction, a sweat in the head."
"Humph! And then sit back and wait for me to die? Huang Rusong, that's what you want to say? Fu Erdan calmed down at this time, his face was a little gloomy and cold, and he looked at Huang Rusong, whose face was like earth, and said slowly.
Huang Rusong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain has no such intention!" It's really because this Chu Rebellion is too cunning and it is difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality...... Villains are also considered for adults! Please be enlightened! ”
"It's hard to distinguish between fiction and reality, since it's hard to distinguish between fiction and reality now, why don't you send someone to find out what is virtual and real? You tell me? Huang Rusong. ”
Fu Erdan squinted at Huang Rusong, who was kneeling on the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Adult, the villain is dull, it is difficult to be a big ......responsibility" Huang Rusong begged for mercy while peeking at Fu Erdan's expression, and instantly a spirit - he immediately understood Fu Erdan's intention, that is, to let him enter the city to test the reaction of the Fu Han army.
Thinking of this, Huang Rusong suddenly collapsed on the ground, he never thought that this Fu Erdan would be so vicious, if it weren't for him Huang Rusong launched a surprise attack from the city at a critical time, and took Xianning from inside and outside, Fu Erdan would not be able to beat Wuchang City anyway, but now it is good, Fu Erdan will sell himself with his backhand, how can this make Huang Rusong not feel cold?
It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, not to mention that their own family is already in the hands of Fu Erdan, if they really anger this living Hades, I'm afraid they will have to go down to Huangquan to talk about the joy of family.
"Adults, small ones understand..... The small ones will go to Wuchang City, persuade the Ning thieves, and buy and win over the Chu and Rebellion tribes in order to divide their people, if it doesn't work, they can also take this opportunity to listen to the truth and truth, for the adults to decide. ”
Fu Erdan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "As the so-called wealth is in danger, Huang Rusong, you really understand this truth." This persuasion to enter Wuchang, whether it is successful or not, when you come out of the city, it will be a great achievement. ”
Huang Rusong took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say: "Lord Qiqi, the villain still wants to ask the adult for one thing, if the villain can't come back from this trip, all the land of my family will be handed over to the adult to dispose of, but my family is old and young, and I still hope that the adult will enjoy the food." ”
Huang Rusong thought very clearly, if he can't come back, it is impossible for his family to keep the family business, even if Fu Erdan is not interested in those money and land, there is no guarantee that the people below him are not interested.
"Well, don't worry, even if this trip doesn't go well, presumably Chu Shun won't dare to kill you rashly, after all, my army is outside the city, and they have to think about it more or less." Fu Erdan said with a smile, he found that this Huang Rusong was indeed a wonderful person, and his mind was very active, so he had some thoughts of cherishing his talents.
Huang Rusong saw that everything was arranged, so he took a deep breath, glanced into the distance with a complicated face, and then held a flag representing the messenger, and walked to Wuchang City without looking back, and then was hoisted into the city by the hanging basket.
Fu Erdan had never imagined that the Fu Han army would really surrender, so after Huang Rusong entered the city, he looked at the wall of Wuchang City to see if there would be any movement.
It's just that there is no reaction, and there is no reaction, and about a moment later, a soldier of the Fu Han Army hung a human head on the city wall, Fu Erdan took a closer look with a clairvoyant mirror, and suddenly the whole person was furious, because the human head was Huang Rusong.
"Siege! Give me a siege! ”
