720, Fan Jun (2)
The leaflet of the Tiandao army really caused a lot of uproar in the Liao army, although Yelu Dashi then took a series of emergency measures to stabilize the army's heart, but all kinds of rumors still spread wildly in the Liao army, Yelu Dashi saw this and decisively took more severe measures, and severely punished and killed several sergeants who talked about the leaflets in private, which barely calmed the restless army a little, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Chala also discussed, and waited for tomorrow morning to send people to negotiate, and officially began to pretend to surrender the plan.
It was night, except for the ones on duty, most of the Liao army fell asleep in hunger, and the entire Gaotang City fell into silence again, and in the middle of the night, there was an abandoned manor in the depths of Gaotang City, this manor was the manor that Zheng Fei planted to Gaotang Zhizhou Gao Lian when Zheng Fei led the Liangshan Army and Zengtou City.
Although Gao Lian sent people to search the manor carefully afterwards, but did not find the tunnel dug by the heroes of Liangshan in the abandoned well, Zheng Fei led the army to conquer Gaotang Prefecture in the future, and then blocked this tunnel, and when it was determined that the enemy army was trapped in Gaotang a few days ago, everyone remembered this passage again, so they dug it through again, and the entrances and exits inside and outside the city were properly covered for emergencies. After the Liao army entered the city, because the entire Gaotang City was empty, a large number of well-equipped and clean houses were vacated, which could be used by the entire Liao army to live, so the Liao army did not set foot further after a simple search of this manor and determined that it was just an abandoned and uninhabitable place, leaving only two Liao soldiers to guard the surrounding area.
This abandoned deserted house is really a little scary in this dark and windy night, and the two Liao soldiers didn't dare to stay here, so they found an empty house outside the manor early to sleep, in fact, they didn't leave the guards right, if they really stayed, let them see everything that happened at the mouth of the dry well in the manor at this time, I'm afraid they would be scared to death!
I saw a round thing suddenly emerge from the mouth of the dry well like a ghost, and if you look closely, isn't it a human head?!
Could it be haunted? An ancient version of Sadako Izui?
The human head turned, as if by the moonlight to look into the courtyard, to make sure that there was no one else in the courtyard and then retracted, but only a moment later, I saw a figure move quickly and climbed up in the well, this person rushed to the wall, the figure quickly disappeared into the darkness and disappeared, until about half an hour later, I saw the man walk out of a room not far away, he returned to the well and learned the bird to cry in, and then saw several figures also crawl out of the well, Looking at it by the moonlight, these people were all wearing the uniforms of the Liao army.
In the middle of the night, these Liao soldiers have nothing to do with drilling into the well, what are they doing?
I only heard the person who had just come out of the well speak and whispered to another person, "Chief, I have looked at it all, there is no one in the courtyard, there will be a patrol of the Liao army outside the courtyard about every quarter of an hour, each team of about ten people, and I just saw a house not far outside the courtyard There is a fire in it, I quietly touched it and took a look, there are two Liao soldiers sleeping in it." "It's a fluent Kaifeng accent.
The man who was called the leader nodded, and then said to everyone in standard official language, "Brothers, the commander and the commander of the army have entrusted this burden to a few of us, not only because we have all been to the Liao Kingdom and can speak Khitan dialect, but also out of trust in us!" We must not let them down, tonight's mission can only succeed, not fail! Of course, if it is really unfortunate to fail, anyway, I, Zhang Sihai, will not have the face to go back to see the commander and the commander alive, and you will do it yourself. ”
Everyone grinned, just laughing, but did not make a sound, looking at life and death as normal,
One said, "Boss, before I came, I had already explained the aftermath to Wang Mazi from my fellow villager, and everyone was too!" ”
Zhang Sihai nodded, "Okay, everyone remember, from now on, no one is allowed to speak Chinese again, they must speak Khitan dialect, and all actions will be under my orders, and they will act when the opportunity arises!" ”
Everyone whispered in unison, "Yes! ”
"Action!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
After a group of Liao army patrols walked in front of the deserted house and walked away, several black shadows turned over from the broken wall of the deserted house, quickly disappeared into the darkness in the corner, and galloped towards the bright house not far away.
After coming to the hut, Zhang Sihai gently poked the window paper with his fingers and glanced inside, turned his head and quietly made a few gestures with his hands to several subordinates, and the two of them stayed in the shadows on both sides of the door, and the two of them were hidden under the window behind the hut, and the remaining six people stood behind Zhang Sihai, and naturally put their hands in the place where they could draw their knives as quickly as possible.
Everything was ready, Zhang Sihai stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of the hut heavily,
First, I heard two cries from inside the house, as if I was frightened, and then a person shouted angrily in Khitan language, "Who! I want to scare Lao Tzu to death! Two footsteps came from far and near at the same time, but they did not open the door immediately,
Zhang Sihai shouted in Khitan language, "Open the door!" Who let you sleep in it! ”
As soon as the people inside heard that it was Khitan, they opened the door as if they were relieved, but two Han faces were revealed, they glanced at Zhang Sihai and a few other people, their faces were full of doubts, they hadn't seen it, but when they saw Zhang Sihai's dress as a battalion commander, they still let the two of them hurriedly and respectfully salute Zhang Sihai and said, "I've seen the adult, may I ask ...... the adult?" ”
Zhang Sihai glanced at them coldly, and said, "You really know how to pick a place to sleep here," while pretending to look hard and walking into ......the house,
The two Liao soldiers had to give way sideways, but they didn't expect that when the six people behind them walked to their side, they only heard Zhang Sihai suddenly increase his tone on the word "Jue", and before the two Liao soldiers could react, the six people pounced on the two Liao soldiers at the same time, covering their mouths, taking people,
At such a close distance, the two Liao soldiers were caught off guard and were caught at once, and they were just about to struggle, when two knives with cold light were already on their necks, so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
At the same time, the door of the hut was closed,
Zhang Sihai came back to the two Liao soldiers, looked at the two Liao soldiers who were already pale with fright, and continued to say in Khitan language, "Han? ”
The two Liao soldiers trembled and nodded in a panic,
Zhang Sihai smiled, this is much easier, and switched to Chinese, "Can you speak Chinese?" Want to live? ”
Another round of nodding like a chick pecking rice,
"Okay, I want you to lead the way, take me to Zeng Mingyi, the commander of the Han military camp, don't tell me, you don't know him ......!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is an inn in the southeast of Gaotang City, although the inn has long been no longer a boss and a cook, but it is very clean, and it is still open for business not long ago, and it has become a place for senior officers to rest.
Zeng Mingyi, as one of the commanders of the ten Han armies of the Liao army, lived in it, in addition to him, there were also many senior officers living in various rooms in the inn, including Han officers and Khitan officers.
If there is anyone in the entire Liao army who does not want to fight this battle with the Tiandao Army the most, Zeng Mingyi is definitely the first one, unlike other people in the Liao army, he has dealt with the Tiandao Army when he was in the Liao State, in addition to being very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Tiandao Army, he is deeply impressed by Hua Rong, if he says that he does not want to be an enemy of anyone in his life, that person is definitely Hua Rong, although he has not seen Hua Rong or heard any news from him to this day, but he has an inexplicable feeling, feeling that Hua Rong will suddenly appear on the battlefield at any time, With his invincible iron army coming with an unstoppable charge, ......!
At present, Zeng Mingyi is full of deep despair for this battle, and it is true, the Liao army at first glance has more than 200,000 people, which seems to be a large army, but it has been trapped in the city, there is no reinforcement outside, there is no food and grass inside, and the enemy army outside the city is still several times its own, today the army sacrificed thousands of lives to rush out but did not even rush to the people's position, and was stunned that they were surrounded by people and dug a ditch two or three zhang wide, the whole army was hungry, and the morale was extremely low, how to fight this battle? Unless the two coaches are determined to rush out with a crowd of 300,000 men regardless of casualties, they may be able to fight their way out, but what about escaping here? The Heavenly Dao Army and the Song Army are still guarding the passes in various places, and there will still be another bloody battle!
Zeng Mingyi wanted to surrender, he had thought about this idea more than once, but he didn't dare and couldn't help it, only with the six thousand Han soldiers in the Han military camp he brought, he had no confidence that he could break through the Khitan army and go out of the city, and more importantly, now all the connections inside and outside the city have been cut off, he doesn't have any chance to contact the Heavenly Dao Army, I don't know if the Heavenly Dao Army will accept him, even if he takes people out of the city, if the Heavenly Dao Army doesn't accept it, he will really die without a place to be buried.
But today's leaflets that were thrown into the city brought a glimmer of hope, those leaflets showed that the Heavenly Dao Army was willing to surrender, although the sky was extremely deep at this moment, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and the idea of surrender was like hundreds of ants, crawling and scratching on his heart, making him struggle uncomfortably.
At this time, a guard came in to report that someone outside asked to see,
Zeng Mingyi was stunned, it's so late this day, who will come to me?
The guard said that it was a battalion commander he had never seen before, and by the way, the man also asked him to give one to the adult, saying that the adult would know it at a glance.
Zeng Mingyi took the envelope even more suspiciously, pulled out a piece of paper inside and looked at it, his heart was shocked, and only after a moment did he react and pulled the guard and said, "Go and ...... him The battalion commander, please come in, and remember, keep quiet! ”
After that, Zeng Mingyi looked down at the paper again, and his heart was still extremely shocked, this was an ordinary piece of paper, what was unusual was what was written on it and the two stamped seals, Zeng Mingyi recognized at a glance that this was the "proof document" written by Hua Rong and Yelu Bu Guye for his subordinates who wanted to go out to investigate the intelligence of the Jin Army!
How could that "battalion commander" have such a thing?! Who is he?!
When Zeng Mingyi saw Zhang Sihai, who was wearing a Liao army uniform, walk in from outside, he finally understood completely, and exclaimed, "It's you......?!" ”
Zhang Sihai smiled and hugged his fist at Zeng Mingyi, "Lord Zeng, long time no see." ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Things went very smoothly, Zhang Sihai promised on behalf of the Heavenly Dao Army that as long as Zeng Mingyi surrendered, he would definitely receive the best treatment from the Heavenly Dao Army.
Zeng Mingyi was of course very happy, but he still went on to ask a very practical question, "I have too few people in my hands, and I am not sure that I can fight out of the city." ”
Zhang Sihai smiled, "It is true that there are not many soldiers in Lord Zeng's hands, but in addition to you, there are nearly 50,000 Han troops in the entire Liao army, how many of these Han troops can be won over by Lord Zeng with confidence?" ”
Zeng Mingyi exclaimed, "What do you mean......?!" ”
Zhang Sihai said, "Our Heavenly Dao Army knows that you Han people from Liao Land are also participating in the Liao Army to survive, and the past is no longer mentioned, everyone is Han, as long as you are willing, our Heavenly Dao Army is willing to welcome all Han soldiers back to the big family of the Han people!" ”
Zeng Mingyi was excited when he heard this, and returned to the big family of the Han people, which is the dream of many generations of Han people in Liaodi!
"There are more than a dozen commanders who are very familiar with me, I can try them, but there are more Khitans, even if 50,000 Han troops go with me, we must have your cooperation if we want to get out of the city!"
Zhang Sihai nodded and said, "This Lord Zeng can rest assured, we have already prepared." ”
Zeng Mingyi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Then when will I start acting?" ”
Zhang Sihai said, "The sooner the better!" It's best to be able to do it by tomorrow afternoon! ”
Zeng Mingyi stood up, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." Then you......? ”
Zhang Sihai said, "I will stay and act with you, but I have something to ask you first, do you think Yelu is not ancient...... Will he be willing to surrender? ”
Zeng Mingyi frowned deeply and pondered for a moment, "This person is a dead eye...... I'm not sure about Da Liao. ”
