Chapter 276: Failed Sneak Attack and Surrender
Half of the time set by Zhao Hui has passed.
But Tai Shici was not in a hurry at all, and still stayed in the camp every day.
He also knew something about the situation in Shangdang City.
The atmosphere of panic in the city is about to reach its climax.
This was something that Tai Shici didn't expect, his original purpose was to deter Zhang Yang, and it was best to force Zhang Yang to surrender.
If Zhang Yang has not surrendered this month, Tai Shici will choose a time to sneak attack Shangdang City next month.
With this month's foreshadowing, the defenders in the city must have been negligent, and Tai Shici has a good chance of a successful sneak attack.
It's just that from now that he has collected information, Tai Shi Ci feels that he doesn't need to sneak attack Shangdang City.
It won't be long before the people in the city will surrender on their own initiative.
Even if Zhang Yang was unwilling, he couldn't stop it.
This was indeed completely unexpected by Tai Shi Ci.
Before, Tai Shici thought that Zhang Yang would never dare to go out of the city to fight with him.
But now that this is the case in the city, Tai Shici also needs to be careful about jumping over the wall in a hurry.
He wanted to sneak attack Shangdang City before, and now he also needs to be careful to sneak attack himself.
In the evening, Tai Shici's scouts had already been arranged outside the city.
Half of the soldiers in the camp must have slept without taking off their armor every night.
The number of night patrols has also doubled.
In the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.
In the past five days, Zhang Yang also sent scouts every day to spy on Tai Shici's military camp.
He never imagined that one day he would want to ask someone to attack him.
But the news brought back by the scout has not changed.
The enemy camp outside the city did not move, and Tai Shici stayed in the camp and never came out.
This is the last thing Zhang Yang wants to hear.
Tai Shi Ci attacked the city, he just had to defend the city.
If he leads his troops out of the city to fight with Tai Shici.
If the battle is defeated, the Shangdang County will be full of voices of surrender, and there will even be people who will directly open the city gate to welcome Tai Shici to enter.
Zhang Yang led the army out of the city, he had to win, and he had to win beautifully.
Tai Shi Ci came to attack the city, and he had absolute confidence to defend the city.
But when he went out of the city to fight, Zhang Yang had no confidence at all.
Even if his strength is higher than that of Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shici has not moved, which makes Zhang Yang's heart even more bottomless.
I don't know what Tai Shici is paying attention to.
Zhang Yang finally decided to fight this time.
has been hiding in the city, and it is only a slow death.
That night, Zhang Yang personally took 20,000 soldiers out of the city. Rushed to the camp where Tai Shici was.
It's just that Tai Shi Ci has been guarding against his sneak attack, and Zhang Yang took the men and horses out of the city, and he was already discovered by Tai Shi Ci's scouts.
Tai Shici didn't set up an empty camp or anything, and after learning that Zhang Yang had sent troops, he came to the camp with a group of people.
Now that he already knew the situation in Shangdang City, Tai Shici didn't want to fight Zhang Yang even more.
When Zhang Yang arrived in front of Tai Shici's camp with a large group of soldiers and horses.
What I saw was the brightly lit camp, and Tai Shici, who was already standing in front of the camp waiting for him.
Seeing this picture, Zhang Yang immediately knew that his sneak attack tonight was a failure.
"Zhang Yang, if you surrender, Zhao Youzhou will definitely not treat you badly, why haven't you surrendered." Tai Shi Ci said.
Although they had sent letters to Zhang Yang before, this was the first time the two had spoken face-to-face.
"Shangdang County is already panicked, and now it is the people's desire to take refuge in Zhao Youzhou, why do you have to act behind the people's back."
"Tai Shici, you don't bother to speak, I will never surrender if I want to join the party, then kill me." Zhang Yang said.
Tai Shi Ci said: "Shangdang County, you can't hold it." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yang really led his troops to sneak attack, Tai Shici also knew that the situation in the city, Zhang Yang could no longer suppress it.
"Shoot the arrows!" Tai Shi Ci ordered.
Shangdang County is bound to be taken, as for whether Zhang Yang is dead or alive, Tai Shici doesn't care.
It is best for Zhang Yang to choose to surrender, even if he is unwilling, with the current situation in the city, others will surrender.
Tai Shi Ci just needs to wait patiently for a few days.
After Tai Shici's voice fell, the overwhelming rain of arrows in the camp shot towards the Zhang Yang army.
The sneak attack failed tonight, and in the face of the rain of arrows at this moment, Zhang Yang lost his fighting spirit, and retreated back along the original road with his soldiers and horses, leaving hundreds of corpses.
Tai Shi Ci did not pursue Zhang Yang.
In the dark night, Tai Shici didn't know if Zhang Yang had a backhand.
Now that he's on the move, there's no need to take any risks.
Zhang Yang returned to the city with his men and horses.
Early the next morning, the news of the failure of the night sneak attack had already spread throughout the city.
The happiest people are naturally the ones who have been shouting about surrendering before.
They are even more convinced that surrender is the right option.
On the same day, many people united to persuade Zhang Yang to surrender.
Although it is said to be persuasion, it is no different from coercion.
Zhang Yang's face was pale, and when he came back last night, he hadn't been able to close his eyes until now.
The sneak attack failed, he thought that this would be the result, but he didn't expect these people to come so quickly and in such a hurry.
Zhang Yang really wanted to kill all the people who shouted surrender.
But in this way, even if no one shouts for surrender, he will not be able to hold Shangdang County.
The interests of these people are intertwined, and Zhang Yang has not been able to suppress them in the past few years in the party.
In the face of this group of people, Zhang Yang failed to tell them as loudly as before that he would never surrender.
If he had said so, these people would not have left today.
Out of town!
Tai Shici, who was staying in the camp, received a secret letter from the city.
It was not public, but a secret letter written by Du Wei Yang Chou.
The content of MeSign is very simple, it is a letter of surrender.
The failure of Zhang Yang's sneak attack made the people in the city completely lose confidence.
Not many people are willing to die with Zhang Yang.
Not only Yang Chou's surrender letter, but also more than a dozen copies of the surrender letter written by others in Tai Shici's hands.
Some of them were written before, but in their letters before, the meaning of surrender was still very vague.
But now, Yang Chou's surrender document has made it clear that he will secretly cooperate with Tai Shici to attack the party.
In the face of Tai Shici's threat, the Zhang Yang who occupied the party at this moment was almost a betrayal of his relatives.
Tai Shici is only Zhao Hui's general, Zhao Hui has not yet come to merge the state, and the eight counties of the state belong to Zhao Hui.
Even if Zhang Yang can block Tai Shici's attack this time.
The next time Zhao Hui personally led the army over, what would Zhang Yang take to defend it?
In the entire Shangdang County, it is impossible for only one Taishou to be flamboyant, knowing that it is difficult for 20,000 people to break through a city garrisoned by 50,000 soldiers.
Those gentry in the party, as well as officials like Yang Chou.
It's not all blind to the current situation.
It's just that because they are not the Taishou of the party, whether the party belongs to Zhang Yang independently or to Zhao Hui has no impact on them.
And now that Zhao Hui has the absolute upper hand, they can't find any reason to resist Tai Shici's army.
If it is said that after the city is broken, all of them will die, then surely no one will shout surrender, but shout that the city is in the people, and the city is dead.
Yang Chou didn't know why Zhang Yang had been refusing to surrender.
If Zhang Yang's sneak attack was successful, he would be willing to continue to defend with Zhang Yang.
But Zhang Yang's sneak attack still failed.
