Chapter 354: Breaking the City (2)

Liu San was a little strange, stretched out his hand and picked up a small gravel that rolled to his feet, and pinched it, but found that the gravel was very soft, not like a stone at all, but like a small paper ball.

The son of the daughter, who couldn't sit down, just as soon as the trebuchets of the alliance army under the city attacked, Yu Wenhua had already evacuated the city.

Because he was worried that someone would take advantage of the opportunity of the alliance to attack the city, he didn't even dare to return to the Jiangdu Palace, but directly entered the camp of the Praetorian Guard and personally commanded the army to defend the city and fight.

At this time, in the camp of the Praetorian Guard, Yu Wenhua was walking around in front of the table of the Chinese army's big tent, and the expression on his face was extremely cold and gloomy.

Yuwen Zhiji, who was not far behind him, was also standing restlessly, with confusion and sorrow on his gloomy face.

The way the Allied army attacked the city was beyond his expectations, he could never have imagined that the three armies of the Allied army would actually start at the same time and attack at the three city gates at the same time, apparently to storm the three city gates at the same time.

Although the Allied Army's siege method is beneficial to his own defense of the city, he can't understand why the commander of the Allied Army would arrange it like this, but there is one thing he is innocent, in order to avenge the faint king, Su Shang has not hesitated to suffer casualties, and he is determined to exterminate himself and others.

At this moment, the city head guard at the east gate ran in quickly, "Prime Minister, the enemy army under the city has retreated." ”

"Retreated?"

Yu Wenhua and Daxi asked, "How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

"The enemy only threw more than ten rounds of boulders, and the casualties of the soldiers were not too large, and the specific casualty figures are still being counted. However, according to the general's estimate, the number of casualties was about 200. ”

After speaking, the city head guard took out a note from his arms, and said with some hesitation: "This is a note of persuasion to surrender randomly thrown by the enemy, and the last general has arranged for the soldiers to collect it." The general wants to see it? ”

Yu Wenhua's face changed slightly, and he directly took the note and looked at it, and after a while, his face became very ugly, and he said sharply: "Immediately collect and destroy all the notes, and those who dare to hide them will be killed."

"Yes!" The general defending the city trembled in his heart, did not dare to stay any longer, and turned around and left quickly.

Soon, the guards of the west gate and the north gate also came to report, and the situation there was similar to that of the east gate.

After they all retreated, Yuwen Zhiji was very worried: "Big brother, it's time to decide!"

"What if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack the city?"

Yu Wenhua was a little hesitant, he understood what his brother meant, this was to let him make a decision immediately, and immediately ordered to eradicate Sima Dejia and Pei Qiantong and others, and eliminate the hidden danger of civil strife in the Praetorian Guard.

After the success of the mutiny, Yu Wenhua and reversed their prior promises, Sima Dejia and Pei Qiantong and others did not get enough benefits, and even the military power in their hands was taken away by Yu Wenhua and force, they have a strong dissatisfaction with Yu Wenhua, and may incite the Praetorian Guard soldiers to rebel again at any time.

Yuwen Zhihe has been reminded many times about this matter, but Yu Wenhua is afraid of Sima Dejiao and others' henchmen in the Praetorian Guard, and is worried that once he deals with Sima Dejia and others strongly, it will cause civil strife in the Praetorian Guard, so that the allies outside the city will have the opportunity to break the city, so he has not made up his mind.

"Big brother, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it!"

Yu Wenzhi said urgently, "Now is the opportunity!" The allied army threw a note of persuasion and surrender, which shows that Su Shang knows our current situation very well, and they are waiting for us to have civil strife, but this also shows from the side that they will not attack the city in these two days, and we must take advantage of these two days to clean up the internal troubles and wipe out Sima Dejiao and others. Big brother, as long as we are fast enough, they won't be able to seize the opportunity to break the city. ”

"Prime Minister, I am also in favor of cleaning up the internal troubles immediately!"

Li Qing also said loudly, "The enemy army outside the city has just withdrawn now, and we will immediately clean up the internal troubles, so that not only can we catch Sima Dejiao and others off guard, but also will be very unexpected by the enemy generals outside the city, and when the enemy generals react, we have already cleaned up, and they will not find any chance to break the city at all." ”

"Okay, then clean it up right away!"

Yu Wenhua pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Li Qing, you immediately arrange for someone to notify them, and a meeting will be held in the Chinese army's big tent in an hour." ”

"Yes!"

……

As night fell, not long after the allied army retreated, it was time for the defenders at the head of the city to change shifts, and Liu San returned to the camp with everyone.

Liu San pulled a few fellow villagers aside, stuffed the small paper ball he secretly hid during the day into the hands of one person, and whispered: "Second Brother Niu, you can read the words, help me read this!"

Several people were shocked when they heard this, their faces changed a little, and Niu Er said in a low voice: "Is it a note thrown by the enemy army under the city?"

"Well, I secretly hid it, no one knows!"

Niu Er was silent and looked at the other people, their faces were a little pale, but they all nodded at the same time, they also wanted to know the content of the note.

"That's good! I'm going to read now, and you pay attention to your surroundings. Niu Er said softly.

A few people immediately turned their bodies and faced around, Niu Er gently flattened the note, and whispered through a little firelight in the distance:

"Warn all the soldiers in the city, our marshal has arrived, and 300,000 Allied soldiers will launch a siege within three days.

After the city is broken, Yu Wenhua and other rebels who usurped the throne and rebelled against the monarch will surely be wiped out.

After the city was broken, the soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered at the first time could be pardoned for the crime of rebellion, and if they could make meritorious contributions, they could freely apply to join the Allied Army.

Kill or capture a general above Lang General, reward 1,000 taels of silver, if you can kill or capture Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi, Sima Dejia... If anyone who kills the king and rebels against him, he will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and 100 acres of land. ”

After reading it, Niu Er crumpled the note again and returned it to Liu San, and the other people immediately turned around and looked at each other, all of them were a little silent.

After a long time, Liu San said in a low voice: "I want to join the Allied Army, what do you think?"

"I've heard that the Confederates are treated very well!"

"Yu Wenhua and the murder of the monarch usurped the throne, it is a big rebellion, and I don't want to die for him anymore!"

...

Although the head of the city has ordered the seizure of all the paper balls at the first time, there are still many paper balls that are secretly hidden by the soldiers, and similar scenes are being staged in many places in the military camp at this time.
