698,Battle of the Daimyofu (14)
Pang Wanchun said that he rode away,
Zheng Xiunian heard this, and his heart chuckled, and secretly said that it was bad! No wonder the thieves didn't come early or late, but at this time, they suddenly surrounded Nanle City, it turned out that they knew that they were in the city, and they came for themselves!
What else? Then Zheng Linfeng wrote a handwritten letter to himself? Could it be that Zheng Linfeng has already come here? But isn't he said to be in Weizhou? Weizhou is hundreds of miles away, even if he was informed by him when he just came to Nanle City today, it is impossible for him to rush here now!
What does this mean? This shows that Zheng Linfeng has already known his whereabouts, so he can prepare in advance, and set up layers of ambushes here to wait for himself to get in!
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiunian couldn't help but be furious in his heart, traitor! There must be a traitor around me! And this traitor's status is still very high, he can clearly know his detailed plan of action, and betrayed himself!
But who is this traitor? Zheng Xiunian thought quickly in his heart, for the sake of safety, his whereabouts have always been confidential, and very few people know about it, and the people who know that they will come to Nanle City today, including Deputy Marshal Yao Gu, are definitely no more than ten people, so the traitor must be among these ten people! Of course, Deputy Marshal Yao Gu can definitely be ruled out, if he is a traitor, he will not be able to fight this battle .......
"My lord, please read the letter." A subordinate had pulled out the arrow and pulled out a letter inserted on it and handed it to Zheng Xiunian, interrupting his thoughts,
Zheng Xiunian stretched out his hand to take it, and understood that now was not the time to consider who the traitor was, the top priority was to see what the thief wanted to do, and then find out the traitor and cut him with a thousand knives after resolving the crisis in front of him!
The letter was read quickly, Zheng Xiunian's face changed greatly, the meaning of the letter was very direct and simple, Zheng Fei scolded Zhao Huan in the letter for bullying the monarch, cutting the land and betraying the country, and then asked him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Kuang supported the Great Song Dynasty, and respected Zhao Kai, who had just been granted the mandate of heaven and inherited the unification, if he agreed, he would immediately open the city gate and surrender, and he would be the protector of the country in the future, and it was not impossible for the high-ranking officials to be honored and even the king and the marquis. If he doesn't agree, the 100,000 Heavenly Dao Army will launch an attack after half a pillar of incense and break through Nanle City, and then he will be a prisoner of the steps, and he will bear the consequences.
"My lord, are you going to ...... the thief?" Seeing Zheng Xiunian's face change drastically, the generals around him couldn't help but ask curiously,
Zheng Xiunian handed them the letter with a gloomy face, and all the generals took it and their faces changed.
Zheng Xiunian scolded angrily, "The shameless thief wants me to betray the Great Song Dynasty and surrender the city, it's really wishful thinking!" He knows very well that anyone can surrender, but only he Zheng Xiunian can't surrender, his aunt Empress Zheng and father Zheng Juzhong have already bet the lives of the whole clan on Zhao Huan, the Zheng family has no way back, and there is only one way for him now, which is to fight to the death!
Not to mention, after Zheng Xiunian made up his mind, he didn't feel scared much, but when he looked at the generals again and was about to give an order, he was stunned, only to see that the generals were all shrunken and restless, and a few people also secretly glanced at themselves a few times, their eyes flickered, sneaky, as if they were thinking about something unspeakable, and there was a strange atmosphere on the city tower.
Zheng Xiunian was taken aback, this is not a good sign, the generals have obviously shown their cowardice, he can't help but regret a little in his heart, the secret way really shouldn't let them see the letter, seeing that a vicious battle is about to win and the chance of victory is very small, they can't surrender, but they can, they hand over the city, and then sacrifice themselves, it is a great achievement, it is still glory and wealth, it is better than taking the risk to die here.
No way! Zheng Xiunian quickly made a decision, he had to find a way to cut off their heart to surrender! If you want to live, everyone will live together, and if you want to die, you have to die together!
"Hahaha......!" Zheng Xiunian suddenly laughed twice, and all the generals looked at him suspiciously,
Zheng Xiunian snorted coldly and said confidently, "The thieves thought that these tens of thousands of people would be able to break through Nanle City, but they underestimated us too much. Nanle City is not big, with the existing 20,000 troops in the city to defend the city, it is more than enough, and our food and grass are also extremely abundant, as long as everyone is united, no matter how many people and horses there are outside the city, we can easily guard for ten days and half a month! ”
When the generals heard this, it was indeed the truth, they all nodded, and the tense and weird atmosphere just now suddenly eased a lot.
Zheng Xiunian's heart was secretly relieved, and continued, "Although we have been surrounded, there are dozens of scout sentries outside the city, they see that we are surrounded, and they must have gone elsewhere to call the police at this moment, do not hide it from you, this official has explained to General Yao Gu before coming here, if there is a situation, General Yao Gu will urgently mobilize a large army to come to the rescue, plus the army of Xia and Liao, in a few days, when our hundreds of thousands of reinforcements arrive, when the time comes, the thieves outside the city want to run and only hate their old lady for giving them two legs." ”
All the generals laughed, and confidence seemed to gradually return to everyone.
Zheng Xiunian was overjoyed in his heart, and continued, "Rest assured, when you hold Nanle City, this official will truthfully report your merits to the imperial court, and the saint will reward you greatly, so you will wait for the addition of officials to the knighthood!" Therefore, this time the thieves came to surround it without worrying at all, and it was even a credit to you to send it to the door! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the generals lit up, and it seemed that they had imagined a bright future in the future, and the tension just now was swept away in an instant, and the raging morale had been ignited!
"The last general will obey the orders of the generals!" A sharp-eyed general rushed to Zheng Xiunian and said,
Immediately afterwards, all the generals hugged their fists towards Zheng Xiunian, "We will obey the orders of the adults!" ”
Zheng Xiunian was overjoyed when he saw this, and even he admired himself a little now, he was really a handsome talent! He smiled and nodded, but his face suddenly sank and said, "But my ugly words have to be talked about in the front, whether Nanle City can be saved, whether everyone's bright future and Xiangshang's head can be saved, we can only rely on us working together." In order to ensure that the defense of the city is foolproof, I must first make a few military orders, one, those who do not listen will be dealt with by military law! Second, those who leave their posts without permission will be dealt with by military law! Third, those who confuse the public with fallacies and disturb the hearts of our army will be dealt with by military law! Fourth, those who are afraid of the enemy and cowardly the enemy, retreat and do not fight, will be dealt with by military law! Fifth, fornication and thieves, traitors and those who seek glory, will be dealt with by military law! ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Xiunian smiled coldly and said, "I, Zheng Xiunian, have made up my mind to defend Nanle City, serve the country loyally, and even die for the country, and continue to maintain the imperial grace of my Zheng family with my loyalty." Your family members are all in the city of Tokyo, and if you do anything treasonous, your family members will be implicated, and even beheaded all over the house! Not only for yourself, but also for your family, you must think clearly before doing anything! Did you hear me? ”
The faces of all the generals have changed again, although this is a naked threat, but it is the truth, now everyone and him Zheng Xiunian are both prosperous and lossy, and they are grasshoppers tied to a rope!
"I'll be clear!" All of a sudden, the generals fell to their knees.
Zheng Xiunian smiled, "Get up, listen to my ......." ”
But before he could finish speaking, he heard someone next to him pointing to the city and shouting, "That person is here again!" ”
Zheng Xiunian looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw that Pang Wanchun had come to the city again,
"Zheng Xiunian, have you thought about it clearly? To drop or not to fall? Pang Wanchun shouted loudly,
Zheng Xiunian snorted coldly and ordered, "Where are the archers?" Shoot this man to death! ”
Immediately, several archers came to the battlement, drew their arrows and were about to shoot Pang Wanchun with their bows.
Seeing this, Pang Wanchun sneered, quickly picked up an arrow with one hand, didn't even need to aim, and shot with a bow, only to see an arrow coming, like a flying fire meteor! But Zheng Xiunian hadn't reacted yet, but fortunately, someone next to him pushed him away and shouted, "Be careful, adult!" ”
Zheng Xiunian couldn't help but hide to the side, and the arrow had hit the wooden pillar behind the place where he had just stood, which frightened Zheng Xiunian into a cold sweat!
Pang Wanchun laughed, turned around and picked up the horse and left, only then did the archers react and shoot the arrow, but they didn't even shoot Pang Wanchun's shadow at all.
Zheng Xiu's seven orifices were angry, and he slashed Pang Wanchun's back a few times with his eyes, but he had no choice but to continue to command the generals to defend himself.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pang Wanchun returned to the Chinese army and hugged Zheng Fei and said, "Commander, then Zheng Xiunian has not descended." ”
Zheng Fei nodded, this is also expected, he didn't expect Zheng Xiunian to surrender honestly now, the reason why he did this was just to pave the way for the next thing, so that the Song army in Nanle City would first understand that he intended to surrender, and it would be much easier to persuade him to surrender when he entered the city later.
Objectively speaking, there is no problem with the analysis of the battle situation that Zheng Xiunian just made on the city tower, although they are small in the city, they are also an advantage in defending the city, and it is more than enough to disperse more than 20,000 troops in various parts of the city for defense, plus there is plenty of food and grass in the city, as long as there is enough courage and perseverance, there is no problem at all in defending for ten days and half a month, and then wait until the reinforcements arrive, the enemy can only retreat.
But it's a pity that the enemy he met this time was not someone else, but Zheng Fei, and Zheng Fei also clearly understood this, so Zheng Fei didn't plan to fight a protracted war with Zheng Xiunian, and even Zheng Fei could fight a protracted war with him, and come to the last "encirclement and reinforcement" plan, waiting for the rabbit to eliminate the Song army that rushed to reinforce the reinforcements, but that was not in Zheng Fei's interests, Zheng Fei's real pursuit was not to annihilate the enemy in exchange for a lot of sacrifices, but to surrender the army without fighting!
Therefore, Zheng Fei decided to sacrifice one of his secret tactics in advance to solve Nanle City by thunderous means!
"Wan Chun," Zheng Fei said, "are things ready?" ”
Pang Wanchun said, "It's ready, and it's ready to attack the city at any time!" ”
Zheng Fei smiled, stood up and turned over his horse, "Let's go, let's go put on a big artillery battle!" ”
