Chapter 163: Siege and Reinforcements
"It's a man!"
Zong Ze boasted to Kou Meng.
"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and whoever lives and dies has its own destiny! But the Great Song Dynasty has no rules for killing prisoners in the future, so I won't kill you either! ”
"If you don't kill me, you won't surrender!"
Kou Meng was still stiff.
"If you don't surrender, I will eat and drink for the rest of your life, but I still won't kill you! Take it down, keep watched! ”
Zong Ze waved his hand and asked people to take Kou Meng down.
"General Yang Xiong! Tell it to go down, so that people don't look so closely! ”
Xu Guanzhong stared at Kou Meng's back and whispered to Yang Xiong.
"What does Xu Shuai mean?"
"Let him go secretly, just don't be too obvious!"
"Let him go? Why? ”
Yang Xiong was puzzled, and the other generals present were also full of questions.
"Since he doesn't surrender, it's useless for us to stay, it's better to let him report to Wang Qing and let Wang Qing send troops to save Wancheng."
Xu Guanzhong patiently explained.
"Kou Meng is a loyal martyr, Liu Min has always been relied on by Wang Qing, after Kou Meng meets Wang Qing, he will definitely beg Wang Qing to send troops to rescue Liu Min, and Wang Qing will agree."
"We came from afar, we were originally a guest army, and we were not familiar with the geography here. Since you are going to fight Wang Qing sooner or later, instead of going to the door, it is better to hold Wancheng and lure Wang Qing's army over, and come to besiege the city to send reinforcements and oppose the guests. ”
"I see!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they admired Xu Guanzhong, but Zong Ze smiled and said nothing.
"Then how many troops will Wang Qing send? Or what if Wang Qing didn't send reinforcements? Yang Xiong asked again.
"We have an army of 100,000, so Wang Qing will either not send it, or at least more than 50,000, and it will most likely be around 100,000! If Wang Qingneng sent 100,000 troops, after we defeated these 100,000 horses, it would be much easier to attack Nanfeng Mansion; If Wang Qing didn't send an army, we would have taken Wancheng directly, and the soldiers and people of Wancheng knew that Wang Qing had given up on them, and the morale of the army and the people would have shifted to us, and we would have just lost a Kou Meng, which had nothing to do with the overall situation. ”
"Xu Shuai is smart! I'll do it myself! ”
Yang Xiong left in awe.
Kou Meng was escorted to the camp by two Song soldiers and was tied to a pillar.
"You have to take care of him, don't let him escape, this kid is very brave!"
Yang Xiong came from a distance, said to the two escorted sergeants, and walked straight behind Kou Meng to gesture to the two sergeants.
The two sergeants understood, and immediately changed the way they were bound.
"General Yang rest assured! We're going to tie him up strongly! ”
"That's good!" Yang Xiong said again, "Xu Shuai said just now, give Wancheng another chance today, if Wancheng does not surrender before the sun rises tomorrow, our 100,000 army will forcibly attack Wancheng, and then the city will be broken and the dogs will not be left, and the city will be punished!" Let this kid and Liu Min suffer the punishment of a thousand knives together! ”
"That's it!" A sergeant said, "How can you let the people of the world know the consequences of rebellion if you are just a thief, you can't resist in front of the heavenly soldiers, and you don't need to cover the entire city with human blood?" Brat! Let's let you live one more day, and tomorrow our two brothers will personally send you to prison! ”
The two sergeants laughed, tied Kou Meng tightly, and walked away.
"You court officers and soldiers are too shameless, God will punish you...... No! The king will definitely kill you without a piece of armor left! ”
Kou Meng scolded behind Yang Xiong's back.
Seeing that Yang Xiong and the three of them were gone, Kou Meng saw that there was no one left and right, and the Song army was busy cleaning up the battlefield, so he thought to himself:
No way! I must escape and report to the King of Chu, otherwise the lives of Lord Liu and the Wancheng army and civilians will be suspended!
He looked around carefully, but unfortunately there was nothing usable, and then shook his arm, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out that the two Song soldiers just tied his arms with ropes, and let him carry a pair of gloves on the pillar, but did not tie his body to the pillar together, and the pillar was only a little taller than him!
These two fools...... No! Three!
I also underestimate my grandfather!
Kou Meng cautiously observed his surroundings, and with a leap of his body, his arms crossed over the pillar, so that although his arms were still tied, his whole body was free from the stake.
Kou Meng quietly slipped out of the Song camp and came to an undefeated battlefield outside the Song camp, and cut the rope on his body with a knife.
Just as he was about to flee, Kou Meng suddenly noticed two scouts coming from a distance, so he lay on the ground, and when the two scouts approached, he suddenly burst out and knocked down one of them, took a horse and rode it, and flew south.
Kou Meng ran all the way, rushing to Nanfeng Mansion as if he was dying, not eating or drinking on the way, and finally saw Wang Qing when it was almost dark, and happened to see Han Zhe was also there.
"King! Help me! Please save Lord Liu! ”
"Kou Meng? You escaped too? How is the battle in Wancheng? ”
Wang Qing hurriedly asked.
He only heard from Han Zhe's mouth about the plan of the Wancheng army, and it was certain that there would be heavy casualties, but Han Zhe didn't know how heavy it was.
"O king!" Kou Meng cried, "Last night we 38,000 people went out of the city, nearly 20,000 were killed in the battle, and nearly 20,000 were forced to surrender!" The last general was originally captured by the Song army, and I heard them say that if Lord Liu did not surrender before the sun rose tomorrow morning, they would enter Wancheng and slaughter the city! King! Lord Liu and the soldiers and civilians of the city are loyal to you, and now you are facing a catastrophe, you must save it! ”
The Song army wants to slaughter the city?
So vicious!
If you don't save it, will all of your subordinates be in danger? What if you surrender out of fear?
But if it is saved, at least 100,000 troops will be needed, what will happen to Nanfeng Mansion?
Tian Hu was a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Han Zhe also knelt down and begged.
"King!"
Seeing this, Fan Quan next to him came out to persuade.
"Song Jun, this is a conspirator! If the king saves, the Song army will attack our army with leisure and labor; If the king doesn't save him, he will lose the hearts of the army and the people, which is really a dilemma! ”
Wang Qing frowned, "In the opinion of the ether captain, how to break the situation?" ”
"Hit!"
"Hit?"
"That's right! Hit it! ”
Fan Quandao: "Anyway, the decisive battle with the Song army will come sooner or later, in that case, why not a day earlier?" ”
"The Song army waits for work ...... leisure"
"As long as the king sends enough troops, and then sends the Suqi over, he will definitely be able to crush the Song army. In this way, I am afraid that he will have some conspiracy! ”
Fan Quan smirked.
"Good! Taiwei's words are very reasonable, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and conspiracies are self-defeating! ”
The gloom on Wang Qing's face was swept away.
"Order: Li Xiong, Bi Xian, He Ji, Ji Ji, Guo Gan, Chen Yun, Geng Wen, Xue Zan and others will immediately lead 150,000 horses to Wanzhou to retreat the enemy; Ling Jishan Li Huai, An De Liu Yuan, Dongchuan Shangguanyi, Yunan Liu Yijing are ready to support! Lone wants to repel the Song army in one fell swoop! ”
