Chapter 828: Sun Kewang surrenders
Sun Kewang felt the pressure of everyone's eyes, and finally sighed and came to the West Gate City.
Monk An saw from the clairvoyant mirror that a general dressed in fine iron armor and wearing a bright red cloak, with a complicated and tired face, slowly came to the city surrounded by a group of guards.
He quickly found that this person was very familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately knew that this person was Sun Kewang, who had fought with him in Xuzhou City that day.
It is a pity that Sun Kewang at that time, commanding 60,000 soldiers and horses, came to attack the soldiers and horses of the tenth town of Zeng Yingbu in Xuzhou, but was defeated by the Tang army, and only more than 10,000 of the 60,000 soldiers and horses were able to escape smoothly, and even the deputy general Ai Nengqi was captured by the Tang army.
I didn't expect to meet this guy again in this Langzhong City today, and it's really fate.
Just when Monk An sighed, Sun Kewang, the lord of the city, glared angrily at the envoy of the Tang army, and shouted: "I am Zhang Kewang, the king of Pingdong in the Great Western Kingdom." You and other rebels, invaded our Daxi for no reason, slaughtered our soldiers, occupied our state city, this general really hates it in his heart, I really want to kill you and others, and solve my hatred! Now what are you talking about, you have to say it to Ben! ”
Seeing that Sun Kewang was so embarrassed now, but he was still so strong and the surface, Monk An sneered and said loudly: "Sun Kewang, you are a defeated general, I really didn't expect that last time you escaped from Xuzhou like a lost dog, and now you can see it in this Langzhong City, which can be regarded as quite a fate with you." Let me tell you that Ai Nengqi, who was captured by our army under the city of Xuzhou, now has a member of the 13th town of our Tang Army. Look at it, your righteous brothers, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, which one is not thriving in my Tang Army now, and the future is bright, you look at yourself again, following Zhang Xianzhong's guy, the more you mix, the more you have no future, and now it is about to be destroyed. I don't want to talk nonsense with you, now that our army is pressing, you are already cornered, why not surrender as soon as possible, and when! ”
"Hmph, you shameless people who invaded Daxi, I can expect to receive the favor of Emperor Daxi, and I can bear it! Hum! Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu betrayed their father-in-law for the sake of their rich and prosperous future, and went to the thief Li Xiao, Zhang was deeply ashamed! Today, you and I are fighting for our Lord, and we will not mention such ungrateful people who betray the Lord! Monk An, don't say it's you, even if Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu led the army, this king will also be ruthless with them, fighting for life and death! ”
Sun Kewang finished yelling loudly, but Monk An laughed again, and replied loudly: "Sun Kewang, don't say it so strongly." Listen, now this Langzhong City has been surrounded by our legions, and all the soldiers and horses are already winged! I wanted to wipe out all of you, but my Tang King, considering that you and Li Dingguo were brothers and were also a good general, so I was merciful and didn't want to be punished like this, so I sent this town to recruit them, which is considered your luck. Let me tell you, as long as you lay down your arms and go out of the city to surrender, then our army can wait for a way out. If you don't agree, you will definitely capture Langzhong, and the whole city will be slaughtered, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
After shouting these abrupt and stern words, the envoy of the Tang army shouted loudly to the city, but there was silence in reply.
Sun Kewang's face was very embarrassed, and he wanted to scold him back, but Monk An's words were full of weight and so ruthless, so he had to think about what would happen if he refused strongly.
Monk An looked at his face and saw that his cruel words had touched Sun Kewang's sore spot, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and shouted loudly: "Sun Kewang, to tell you the truth, now Hugh said that this Langzhong City, the entire Sichuan, except for this western Sichuan area, are almost all under the control of our Tang Army, and the destruction of Zhang Xianzhong, a thief, is already fate, how can it last long!" What's more, if you wait for the soldiers to be tired and trapped in the lonely city, even if our army does not attack the city, how can you wait for the food to run out? And the power of our artillery, you have not not been taught, if it is really after our army has captured the city strongly, in the chaos, it can be said that the mud and sand are burned and the jade are burned, and you will die under the sword soldiers, lighter than the feathers, and you will not be a wronged ghost in vain? ”
Sun Kewang's face turned red and white when Monk An said, 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 Sun Kewang and the people next to him like this, Monk An was secretly complacent, so he shouted loudly: "Sun Kewang, you are a smart person who judges the situation and the situation, how can you not know the current affairs, and you will definitely be buried for that Zhang Xianzhong?" I still hope that you can recognize the situation as soon as possible, don't act in vain, and don't make such cruel jokes with the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city. If you and the others are willing to repent and return in time, the town can guarantee that all the soldiers and soldiers will be rewarded, and as for the main general, General Wang, my Royal Highness the Tang King, will definitely be reused. Now in this critical season, where to go, I hope you think deeply! ”
Sun Kewang's eyes were dull, and his expression was stiff, as if he didn't know how to answer Monk An's words next.
Although Monk An's words are ugly, they are also extremely right, if you want to fight against yourself now, the final outcome will be the destruction of the city and the army, and the sacrifice of yourself and this group of subordinates is really worthless.
Thinking of this, Sun Kewang couldn't help but let out another long sigh.
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 Langzhong City?
Just when he hesitated, the monk An under the city was already waiting impatiently, he beckoned to the back, and those Tang gunners understood and began to act.
"General, look, the artillery of the Tang Army is out of formation!"
Sun Kewang, who was meditating at the head of the city, heard the silent shouts of the soldiers next to him, and suddenly came back to his senses from thinking.
Following the direction of the soldier's arm, Sun Kewang was horrified to see that in the west of Langzhong City, from the densely surrounded Tang army array, a total of ninety heavy artillery pieces of the same size were launched, 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 west gate. 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 west city wall, majestic and majestic, the black hole of the cannon mouth, straight to the opposite side of the Langzhong city wall that has been in disrepair for a long time, its dignified momentum, so that the already panicked enemy army defending the city, frightened began 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, Sun Kewang, was also the first time to see such a terrible cannon, and his face was also covered with cold sweat.
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 city wall of Langzhong, and the result of the city wall being broken is probably doomed.
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?
Sun Kewang sighed, and shouted loudly to Monk An under the city: "Monk An, your words are also reasonable. This king will consider it carefully, how about you go back first, and after I have consulted with the generals, I will send someone to reply in front of your army? ”
Monk An was overjoyed when he finally said such soft words, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then please make a decision with all the soldiers as soon as possible, and I will give you an hour's time." If you can't get out of the city and surrender by then, don't blame us for being polite! ”
After Monk An finished speaking, he pulled out the horse's head and returned to the battle with several guards.
"An Shuai, will Sun Kewang, who is trapped in the lonely city, really go out of the city and surrender? Will there be fraud" Gao Jie, the deputy mayor of the second town, was still worried, and asked Liu Guoneng tentatively.
Monk An smiled coldly and replied: "Hmph, since Sun Kewang has said such soft words, he is expected to have no heart, and he can only obediently surrender to our army all the way, and I will wait here patiently for him to send someone to come." Spread our military order, order the whole army to defend the city tightly, and never let them go out of the city and abscond, just in case. ”
"Order!"
Coincidentally, after about a pillar of incense, there was movement in Langzhong City.
The Tang troops in the west clearly saw that the suspension bridge hanging high at the west gate of Huangpi City suddenly creaked and rattled, and the city gate was slightly opened, and a man who looked like a scribe walked out of the city gate with a sad face holding a white flag high.
Seeing this person cowering and looking in his own direction, Monk An and Gao Jie couldn't help but glance at each other proudly.
Hmph, Sun Kewang is here, he really can't resist the pressure, this kid knows current affairs!
"Haha, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and it was really as the general expected, in this Langzhong City, someone was really sent out." Deputy Mayor Gao Jie had a teasing smile on his face.
"Hmph, Sun Kewang 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." Monk An smiled and said, "Then let's take a look, he sent this messenger to say something to us." ”
Monk An was right, as he expected, this scribe was the messenger sent by Sun Kewang to negotiate the surrender with Monk An, he quickly came to Monk An and Weng Zhiqi, and after reporting his name, he arched his hand and said: "The two generals, under the order of General Zhang of my family, 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? ”
After listening to the words of the envoy, Monk An couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Monk An laughing so proudly, his heart became more and more frightened, and he looked at Monk An's rough face timidly, his lips squirmed, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Monk An stopped laughing, looked down at the timid envoy from his horse, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and said lightly: "Do you think that the current Sun Kewang is still qualified to negotiate terms with our army?" Our army promised not to attack the city again, not to use swords, not to slaughter the people, and to spare the lives of him and his soldiers, which is already very merciful and tolerant. Isn't that enough for him to have this prerequisite? ”
"Lord An, this, this is not what I mean, General Wang means, it is ......" The name came to make a look of embarrassment, but he couldn't reply.
Monk An glanced at him, then sneered and continued: "Of course this town knows what Sun Kewang means, it is nothing more than wanting to sell himself for a high price. Hmph, don't set up an archway when you're a bitch! Of course, General Sun was able to wake up and do it in time, avoiding a disaster of swords, which is also a great achievement. The town is willing to fulfill its previous promise, not to investigate its previous crimes, and to surrender to the soldiers anyway, and also have their own rewards. For General Sun himself, the town will also immediately report to the Tang King, so that the Tang King will reward him with relevant promotions, and he will never lose the credit for his surrender anyway. ”
"Oh, good, good, Mayor An's words, the conditions are already very good. King Pingdong must be very happy to be able to get such a promise from Mayor An. Then go back now and report to the king of Pingdong. The man was pale and sweaty on his forehead, but he nodded his head again and again, and sneered.
"Well, then there you go. You tell him that there is still more than half an hour to go, and if he refuses to open the door within the time limit, then he will not blame the town for being ruthless. Monk An smiled slightly and replied in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, now I'll rush back to report it, and please rest assured that Mayor An is." The head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and after giving a salute, he hurried back.
When he entered the city, the messenger immediately came to Sun Kewang's room, and he hurriedly reported to Sun Kewang. And after listening to the envoy's narration, Sun Kewang's face was very complicated, and he couldn't help but sigh for a long time.
"! Such humiliating conditions are no different from not talking about it, it is really shameful to kill! Alas, his mother knew this earlier, why bother in the first place! ”
Sun Kewang slammed his fist on his thigh, and paced back and forth in the room with a look of chagrin, like a trapped beast.
Seeing that Sun Kewang seemed to be remorseful in this form, the envoy was not anxious, so he carefully reminded again: "King Pingdong, the Tang army only gave us half an hour, and asked the general to make a quick decision, don't delay." ”
Sun Kewang's eyes were like knives, and he glanced at the envoy fiercely, which frightened the envoy subconsciously trembling.
He mechanically came to the window, looked out blankly for a long time, and Fang Chang sighed: "Alas, everything is not tied. Now that his mother's situation is stronger than others, he can't help but obey him. Passing on our military order, the whole army unloaded its armor and abandoned the army, and the whole army assembled in the square in the city, and then opened the city gate and went out of the city to surrender to the Tang army anyway. ”
"Yes, yes!"
In a short time, the white flags were hung high at the head of Langzhong City, and the four city gates were also opened together.
Sun Kewang, who was dressed in arrows and armor, led a group of generals and officials in the city, and slowly walked out of the north gate of Langzhong City with his head down, and after all of them left the city, they knelt down on the ground together.
