Hearing Liu Guoneng's question, Weng Zhiqi laughed and replied, "Do you need to talk about this?" Wang Deren escaped from here, and it was already difficult for the turtles in the urn to escape, and if they wanted to resist stubbornly, they would be completely wiped out by our army in Huangpi City, and there was no way out. General Liu, you see, at the head of Huangpi City, the banners are scattered, and the soldiers are chaotic, which shows that the enemy's morale is low, and they have no fighting spirit at all, and they are not our army's opponents at all. And this Huangpi county, the city is narrow, the city wall is low, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the combined force of our artillery. Please ask General Liu to give an order to attack with the artillery of the whole army, and it can be guaranteed that this Huangpi City will be able to fall with one drum, and Wang Deren and the remnants of his subordinates will also be annihilated by our army in this Huangpi City! ”

"Haha, what Zhiqi said is also common sense. If I had seen such a situation of the enemy army on weekdays, I would have chosen this way, and I would definitely not hesitate to bomb his mother. Liu Guoneng stroked his beard and laughed, paused again, and then said with a sneer: "Now, this Wang Deren's troops and horses are sitting in the city of sorrow, isolated from inside and outside, and their way to escape south has been completely cut off by our army. It's a pity that their army has no fighting spirit, and there are no reinforcements outside, so they have completely fallen into death. In such a desperate situation, Ben Jiang felt that there was no need to storm this Huangpi City, and if he could persuade Wang Deren and his subordinates to surrender, wouldn't it be a better choice? ”

"Oh, I'm willing to listen to Mayor Liu's details."

"General Weng, think about it, now that Wang Deren is here, there is no way to escape, and he can't fight, he just wants not to negotiate with our army, and wants not to surrender to our army to find another way, how can he get it? Besides, a snob like him who seeks protection is bent on protection, can he still give up his life to be martyred for Zuo Liangyu, who is sorrowful in Wuchang and shaped like dry bones in a tomb? Ben would have dared to predict that as long as we gave them a step to go down, then Wang Deren could only surrender obediently in the end. ”

"General Liu is very reasonable, and I feel the same way now." Ning Wan I laughed, and then took over: "I dare to predict that Wang Deren will definitely not be able to withstand the huge pressure of our army under the pressure of our army's heavy siege, as long as he is slightly persuaded to surrender, this guy will be like grasping a life-saving straw, and will come to surrender quickly, which is an inevitable trend." ”

Weng Zhiqi paused for a moment and replied: "As long as Wang Deren surrenders, then our army will no longer have any enemy forces comparable to me in Huguang, then after our army takes Huangpi, it should be able to drive straight into Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu's old nest." Zuo Liangyu, who was trapped in the lonely city, had few troops, and there was no rescue outside, if he saw that Huangpi had surrendered, and the last reinforcement Wang Deren's troops were wiped out by our army, I was afraid that it would be panicked, and there was nothing to do, and there was only one way to obediently surrender to our army. ”

After Weng Zhiqi finished speaking, he and Liu Guoneng looked at each other for a while, and both of them laughed loudly.

The two discussed and immediately sent a civil official to persuade him to surrender outside Huangpi City.

Soon, the envoy of the Tang Army, under the protection of two guards, quickly came to a place about a stone's throw away from the north gate of Huangpi, and shouted loudly at the city: "Quickly go and report to the main general in the city, General Wang, ask him to go up to the city tower quickly, I have a confidant to tell General Wang, and General Wanwang Wang will answer quickly!" ”

With the loud shouts of the Tang army envoy, a general dressed in fine iron armor and wearing a bright red cloak, with a complicated and tired face, slowly walked to the head of the city surrounded by a group of guards.

This general, who is now the main general of Huangpi City, Wang Deren, glared angrily at the envoy of the Tang army, and shouted: "You and other rebels, invaded our Huguang for no reason, slaughtered our soldiers, and now they are chasing after us, intending to destroy our army in this Huangpi City. Now what are you talking about, you have to say it to Ben! ”

Seeing that Wang Deren was so embarrassed now, but he was still on the surface, with such strong teeth and hard teeth, the envoy of the Tang Army sighed secretly in his heart. He pretended to cough lightly twice, and then squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "What this general said, in my opinion, is really not right. I don't want to say it clearly for the general, but I don't know, this general, the name of the general? ”

"Hmph, you bastards who betrayed the court and plundered their homeland, listen to Lao Tzu, I will not change my name, I will not change my surname, I will be under the Marquis of Ningnan, and Wang Deren, the chief soldier of Macheng!"

Wang Deren shouted loudly, but the Tang army envoy smiled slightly, then shook his head, his face was also cold, and he replied loudly: "General Wang, don't be so tough. Listen, now this Huangpi City has been surrounded by our legions, and all the soldiers and horses are already in the wings! I wanted to wipe out all of you, but the commander of our army, Lord Liu, was merciful and didn't want to be punished without teaching, so he sent a special envoy to recruit you. If you don't agree, you will definitely capture Huangpi, and the whole city will be slaughtered, and there will be no chickens and dogs! ”

After shouting these abrupt and stern words, the envoy of the Tang army shouted loudly to the city, but there was silence in reply.

Wang Deren's face was very embarrassed, he wanted to scold back, but the words of the Tang army envoy were full of weight and so ruthless, so that he had to think about what would happen if he refused strongly.

The envoy of the Tang Army looked at his face and saw that his cruel words had touched Wang Deren's sore spot, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and shouted loudly: "General Wang, for the sake of you and me, both of whom are Ming troops. Please General Wang and all the soldiers, listen to the words of this envoy, and now Hugh said that Huangpi City, the entire Huguang is almost all occupied by our army. If your army is tired and trapped in a lonely city, even if our army does not attack the city, how can you wait for the food to run out? This Huangpi county town, the city is narrow, the city walls are short, and the defense is sparse, how can it withstand the power of our army's blow? If it really arrives at the powerful siege of the city by our army, in the chaos, it can be said that the mud and sand are burned and the jade are burned, and you and others die under the sword soldiers, which is lighter than the feathers, and you are not a wronged ghost in vain? ”

Wang Deren's face was red and white at the words of the Tang army envoy, and he subconsciously glanced at the soldiers next to him, but found that the left soldiers on the left and right were all looking at him with a pitiful look, and the content in their eyes was known without asking.

Seeing Wang Deren and the people next to him like this, the envoy of the Tang army became more and more secretly complacent, and then shouted loudly: "General Wang, you are a smart person who judges the situation and assesses the situation, how can you not know the current affairs, and you will definitely be buried for that Zuo Liangyu?" He also asked General Wang and all the soldiers to understand the situation clearly, not to act in vain, and not to make such cruel jokes on the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city. If you are willing to repent and return in time, you can guarantee that all the soldiers and soldiers will be rewarded, and as for the main general, General Wang, His Royal Highness the Tang King, I will definitely reuse it. Now in this critical season, where to go, I hope the general will think deeply! ”

When the envoy of the Tang army said this, he deliberately stopped his words, and looked at the city with an expectant face, looking at Wang Deren, who was bowing his head and contemplating himself.

Wang Deren's eyes were dull and his expression stiffened, as if he didn't know how to answer the words of the Tang Army's envoy next.

It's just that now he has no regret in his heart.

Damn, I knew that the Tang Army was so capable of fighting, and it acted so quickly, and it forced itself into a desperate situation of being alone and sorrowful, and was forced to surrender without dignity, and it was not really as if it was in Macheng at the beginning, and surrendered to the Tang Army in time.

If that were the case, the thousands of soldiers who were regarded as outcasts would not have died outside Macheng in vain.

Moreover, if he had more soldiers and horses at the beginning, if he could lead his troops to surrender to the Tang Army in time, he would no longer be in such an embarrassing situation as he is now, but he would have made great achievements first.

If this is the case, it should be the best, where will there be such a humiliating forced surrender as now, not only will tens of thousands of brothers who died in Macheng be lost in vain, but their own fate will not be completely in the hands of others.

Now this sad ending, their sacrifice is really worthless.

And now, even if the Tang army can accept itself and its subordinates, and it is forced to surrender when the Tang army is approaching the city, the benefits and benefits that can be obtained will be greatly reduced compared with the original!

Thinking of this, Wang Deren couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!

So, now that I am here, do I want to agree to the persuasion of the Tang army to surrender and surrender to the Tang army in this Huangpi city?

Just when he hesitated, the Tang army besieging the city was already waiting impatiently and began to act.

"General, look, the artillery of the Tang Army is out of formation!"

Wang Deren, who was meditating at the north gate of Huangpi City, heard the silent shouts of the soldiers next to him, and suddenly came back to his senses from his thoughts.

Following the direction of the small soldier's arm, Wang Deren was horrified to see that in the north of Huangpi City, a total of 90 heavy artillery pieces of the same size were launched from the densely surrounded Tang army formation, lined up in a straight line, and slowly pushed forward together. These heavy cannons that move forward silently, shining faintly silver in the reflection of the morning sun.

Ninety steel heavy dragon bombardment guns shining with silver gray light were slowly pushed by the Tang Army gunners to a kilometer outside the north gate of Huangpi. Next, the Don gunners began to fix the gun mounts, adjust the angle of fire, reload gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for battle.

These ninety heavy dragon cannons, lined up along the right side of the city wall in the north of Huangpi City, majestic and majestic, the black hole of the cannon mouth, straight to the opposite side of the low and damaged Huangpi city wall, its dignified momentum, so that the enemy army defending the city was already panicked, frightened to begin to weaken their legs.

Good guys, these cannons look so terrifying, you can imagine how powerful they will be when they are fired.

The main general, Wang Deren, saw such a terrible cannon for the first time in his life, and his face was also brushed with cold sweat. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart that Jiujiang City was captured by the Tang army so quickly that day, perhaps, it was the credit of these artillery.

It is conceivable that if the Tang army is allowed to attack the city like this, it will definitely cause extremely terrible damage and blows to the Huangpi city wall, and perhaps, the final result will really be as the Tang army envoy said, the Tang army will be enough to defeat the wall garrison of the Huangpi city under one blow.

This is simply a battle with no suspense and a doomed result, and in such a situation, do you really want to go all the way to the dark?

Wang Deren sighed, and shouted loudly to the envoy of the Tang army under the city: "This envoy, your words will be carefully considered, you should go back first, and after I discuss with the generals, how about sending someone to reply in front of your army?" ”

When the envoy of the Tang army heard that he finally said such soft words, his heart was overjoyed, and he replied with a smile: "Okay, then please ask General Wang and all the soldiers to make a decision as soon as possible, say goodbye first, and wait for the general's good news." ”

When the envoy finished speaking, he arched his hand towards Wang Deren, and together with the two guards, he pulled his horse back to the battle. After returning to the formation, he reported the results of persuasion to Liu Guoneng, the commander of the Tang Army.

"Liu Shuai, Wang Deren, who is trapped in the lonely city, has been moved by the words, and wants to discuss with his subordinates, so he sent someone to negotiate with our army about surrender, but I don't know what Liu Shuai thinks of his arrangement?" After reporting on the process of persuasion, the envoy of the Tang army asked Liu Guoneng tentatively.

Liu Guoneng smiled coldly and replied: "Hmph, since Wang Deren has said such soft words, he will expect that he can only obediently surrender to our army all the way, and I will wait here patiently for him to send someone over." Passed on our military order, ordering all the artillery men to postpone the siege of the city and wait for the enemy to send people out of the city to negotiate. ”

"Order!"

Coincidentally, after the Tang artillerymen stopped attacking the city, about a pillar of incense, there was movement in Huangpi City.

The Tang army in the north clearly saw that the suspension bridge hanging high at the north gate of Huangpi City suddenly creaked and creaked, and the city gate was slightly opened, and a person who looked like a scribe walked out of the city gate with a gloomy face.

Seeing this person cowering and looking in his own direction, Liu Guoneng and Weng Zhiqi couldn't help but glance at each other proudly.

Hmph, Wang Deren, he really can't resist the pressure, this kid knows current affairs!

"Haha, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, it's really as the general expected, in this Huangpi City, people really sent out." Deputy Mayor Weng Zhiqi had a teasing smile on his face.

"Hmph, Wang Deren is already a turtle in the urn, no matter how difficult it is to escape, he can repent when our army is about to attack the city, but he reacted in time and avoided a disaster of swords." Liu Guoneng stroked his beard and smiled: "Then let's take a look, he sent this envoy to say something to us." ”

Liu Guoneng was right, as he expected, this scribe was the envoy sent by Wang Deren to negotiate with Liu Guoneng about surrender, he quickly came to Liu Guoneng and Weng Zhiqi, and after reporting his name, he arched his hand and said: "The two generals, under the order of my general Wang, have come to discuss the surrender with your army. I dare to ask, two lords, what conditions are you willing to give our army to our army, so that our army can return safely? ”
