Karamu's words, like an awl, pierced Parama's heart deeply.

He knew that Karamu was right, now he was outnumbered, trapped in a lonely city, and there was indeed no way to escape, but could he really surrender to the Tang Army?

Barama was reluctant to do so.

As the son of Prince Li's Daishan, of course he knew that if he betrayed the Tang Army, it would undoubtedly greatly discredit his entire family, and it could even be said that it would bring endless disasters and troubles to the entire Prince Li family.

It is conceivable that the strategy adopted by Dai Shan to bet on both ends of the first rat was already very fragile and dangerous, which made the narrow-minded and suspicious Dolgon suspicious of his entire family. And such a fragile balance will definitely be completely broken by his own act of abandoning the city and surrendering.

At that time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for his wives and children to be saved, and the entire family of Prince Li will also be implicated in Guangzhou because of his own devotion to the enemy.

Thinking of this, Barama suddenly couldn't help but shudder.

He suddenly thought that although Haicheng was now like a lonely boat struggling in a raging storm, it seemed to be very dangerous, but it was not a completely inevitable ending, nor was it without the capital to fight to the death.

Because, when Barama saw that the Tang army was rolling like cháo water, there was no heavy artillery to attack the city, that is to say, the current Tang army only had the ability to besiege the city, but because of the lack of artillery, it was absolutely impossible to take siege action immediately.

There is no heavy artillery to attack the city, which means that if the Tang army wants to take Haicheng, there are undoubtedly only two ways to choose, one is to cut down trees nearby, temporarily set up siege equipment, so as to carry out the ant siege after about a week.

The other way is to besiege Haicheng for a long time, hoping to run out of food in the city, and then force the defenders of the city to surrender.

Neither of these two roads can deal a serious blow to Haicheng in a short period of time, and the main general Balama has enough time to fight against the Tang army.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the Tang army may wait until the snow stops, and then load the artillery from Yaozhou with great difficulty, and then start the attack on Haicheng. But even so, the time it took for the Tang army to take was considerable, enough for him to wait for reinforcements to arrive with peace of mind.

Although the two sentry cavalry sent by himself are very likely to be taken by the Tang army's light cavalry, because there were sentry cavalry sent by Yaozhou City before, Dolgon will definitely be able to get the news of the loss of Yingkou smoothly, and he will definitely send reinforcements south.

As long as the reinforcements sent by Dolgon arrive, then he should be able to work with the reinforcements to carry out internal and external attacks on the Tang army, then not only can he defend this Haicheng city, but also can break the Tang army and annihilate his army, so as to make an immortal achievement.

Thinking of this, Barama had made up her mind, and an inexplicable yīn ruthlessness surged on her face.

He cleared his throat and shouted at the Karamu under the city: "Karamu, you traitor who seeks glory and does not know shame, how can you still have the face to talk about me. I think that at the beginning, you entered the customs with Tan Tai, where the town was located, in order to survive, in order to get reuse and future in Nikan, you did not hesitate to betray the Qing Dynasty, and did not hesitate to betray the lord for glory. The main general Tan Tai was dissected by Li Xiao and his liver was gouged out, how cruel and vicious. You are a good guy, not only do you not want to avenge the Lord, but you help to abuse it, and use Tan Tai's life and the future of the whole army to dye yourself a red top, which is really better than a pig and a dog! “

Balama paused, and continued: "Karamu, a shameless person like you is now reused under Li Xiao, and you look like a dog, do you think you can't do it?" Hmph, you shameless villain, in the eyes of Ben General, you are simply more disgusting than maggots in the pit! If you hadn't stayed away, I would have killed you with one arrow, so that I could get rid of my hatred! Ben will tell you one more sentence, I want my army to surrender, and I want my noble descendants of Aixin Jueluo to serve the lowly Han dog Li Xiao, but it is a dream! ”

When Barrama said this, he let out a long breath, and the expression on his face was full of resentment.

When Karamu heard this, the expression on his face was very calm, and it could even be said that he did not have any fluctuations in his expression at all.

After being a messenger of persuasion so many times, Karamu's mentality has long since changed from being angry at the beginning to being calm as usual, and now he doesn't pay attention to the angry words of the city guards, and even feels like he is at ease.

Karamu smiled lightly and said, "Okay, very good, what you said is impassioned. Since you are bent on serving the Qing Dynasty to the death, how can our army not fulfill you, then you just wait for the city to be broken, and then all of them will die, and when it comes to the butcher's knife on the neck, don't blame the envoy for not reminding you now! ”

After Karamu said this, he didn't say much, and immediately took a few guards and hurriedly rode back to Li Xiao.

"Lord Li, this guy is obsessed and insists on fighting against the heavenly soldiers, and the persuasion is ineffective, and it seems that there is only one way to attack." Karamu whispered.

Li Xiao frowned slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Barama is now strong-mouthed, just because the city is strong, and our army does not have enough siege artillery. His stubborn resistance couldn't last long. “

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Tian Wei next to him interjected: "Lord Li, does it mean that our army needs to transfer artillery troops from Yaozhou City immediately after besieging the city?" “

Li Xiao shook his head slightly: "There is no need for the time being, now that our army is here, the most critical step is to encircle the point and send reinforcements to eliminate the upcoming Qing army reinforcements." If the Qing army's reinforcements are destroyed, then Barama will definitely be bold, and under the huge pressure of our army, it is very likely that he will go out of the city and surrender, or there will be internal changes. If he does not surrender, it will not be too late to draw reinforcements from Yaozhou City. “

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Tian Wei and Karamu were silent, and they went down to get busy without mentioning it.

And when Li Xiao commanded the whole army to surround the entire Haicheng like an iron barrel, Liu Guoneng, the deputy mayor of Xingzhong Town, who personally led the light cavalry to the north and went to cut off the retreat of the enemy soldiers in Haicheng, soon discovered the Qing army sentry cavalry that was galloping north in the distance to inform Liaoyang of the news of the siege of Haicheng.

He immediately thought that these two Qing army sentry horsemen were very likely to carry important information, so he immediately ordered more than 100 of the most sharp Flying Harrier light horsemen to dispatch urgently to pursue and capture them all.

More than a hundred Flying Harrier light cavalry, like arrows from the string, flew towards the two northbound sentinels.

These two sentinels who went out of the city to deliver the letter, seeing so many Tang cavalry chasing after them, were already frightened, and after fleeing in a hurry, they were quickly captured by the Tang army's flying arrows, and then they were escorted to the captain who led the pursuit.

"If you have any letters, hand them over at once, lest you die!"

His face was red from the cold, and the captain of the Tang cavalry was foaming at the face of snow, and shouted loudly in stiff Manchu language at the two Qing army prisoners who knelt down in front of him.

"Yes, yes, there is a letter written by the Haicheng garrison general Barama here, please take a look at it."

One of the sentries shouted in horror, and hurriedly pulled out a letter from his bosom that still carried body temperature, and handed it to the Tang army commander in a sincere panic.

Captain Tang opened the letter and looked at it cursoly, although he didn't understand it very well, but his face immediately welled up with joy.

He knew that this letter of request for help from Barama would definitely have extremely useful information for the next move of the Tang army, so he immediately ordered the two sentry riders to be handed over to Liu Guoneng, the deputy mayor of Xingzhong Town, along with the letter.

After the two men were brought to Liu Guoneng, the captain of the Tang cavalry Li M. handed over the letter to Liu Guoneng, and at the same time briefly described the process of capturing them.

Liu Guoneng smiled, and after a rough look at Barama's letter asking for help, he suddenly had a bold idea.

If they were to pretend to be messengers and patrol the area north of Haicheng, once they saw the arrival of Qing reinforcements, they would pretend to be messengers to report to them, and then lead them into the ambush circle that they had already prepared.

Thinking of this, Liu Guoneng did not hesitate any longer, and immediately took a group of guards and hurriedly came to the west of Haicheng City to meet Li Xiao.

After listening to Liu Guoneng's report, Li Xiao's eyes also lit up.

That's a good idea!

Originally, Li Xiao also thought that if the Qing army reinforcements arrived, he would have to divide his troops and confront each other in the field, so that even if he could defeat the Qing army reinforcements with his strength advantage and these battle-hardened soldiers, in the absence of firearm support and pure blood courage, it would undoubtedly bring considerable losses to himself, which was an extremely helpless but also something that the Tang army had to face.

After all, if you can wipe out the Qing army reinforcements and completely control the entire Haicheng, then from Haicheng to the Yingkou area, you will be under your own control, even if it is difficult for you to go north because of the weather, but it is a solid foundation, and it will definitely not be a problem to persist until the beginning of spring next year. From this point of view, if the Tang army wants to eliminate the reinforcements of the Qing army, it is something that must be done, and there is no choice at all.

And now, if Liu Guoneng's plan to lure the enemy can succeed, then the Tang army will be able to wait for work, successfully lure the Qing army into an ambush circle, and then calmly annihilate it, which is undoubtedly a more effective and convenient way for the Tang army to kill the enemy, even from the point of view of reducing battle losses, Li Xiao feels that it is very necessary to try, it is very worthwhile.

Li Xiao thought about it and immediately issued an order, so that Liu Guoneng was fully responsible for the battle plan for luring the enemy, and he also arranged all the arrangements for where to be the ambush location and how many ambush soldiers and horses were needed.

Seeing that he was so respected by Li Xiao, Liu Guoneng was very grateful in his heart, so he immediately went down to get busy without mentioning it.

Speaking of which, it was Li Xiao's good luck, only one day later, the Tang army waited for Duoduo to lead his troops to come to help. The arrival of the Qing army in the ministry was right in Li Xiao's arms.

Therefore, the Tang army immediately set up an ambush in the White Wolf Valley north of Haicheng, and asked their own sentinels to pretend to be messengers to lure the reinforcements who were ready to ambush and annihilate Duoduo here.

The reason why the White Wolf Valley was chosen was because it was the only place to go south from Liaoyang to Haicheng, and secondly, because it was the closest to the Tang army besieging the city, so it was the best choice for setting up an ambush.

This ambush plan went very smoothly, from luring the enemy to letting the 10,000 people in the front of the Qing army enter the White Wolf Valley, it was completely under the control of the Tang army, and the moment the boulder at the entrance of the White Wolf Valley was pushed down, the Tang army's ambush plan was declared a complete success.

Countless heavy and huge stones stained with thick snow were thrown down the mountainside by the Tang army's auxiliaries, and immediately cut off the Qing army reinforcements in front and the soldiers and horses in the back.

"Lord Li, this group of Qing captives is very cunning, more guarded, and deliberately divided into two parts, but unfortunately only half of the Qing army has entered our army's formation, and the latter part has never entered the valley, which is a pity."

Liu Guoneng, who was standing next to Li Xiao, pointed at the panicked Qing soldiers in the valley, but there were not too many smiles on his face, but he was full of regret.

Li Xiao smiled slightly: "In this world, how can there be perfection." If you want to wait for the Qing army to enter the valley, the Qing army in the front has already gone out of the valley, and our army can only ambush half of it. In this case, with nearly 10,000 Qing reinforcements entering the city, the Haicheng garrison Balamake will be confident, and our plan to force him to surrender in shock will be absolutely frustrated. In this way, it is by no means a good thing for our army. ”

Liu Guoneng nodded, took Li Xiao's words and said: "Lord Li is right, if the Qing army in the front can be completely wiped out, then, for half of the Qing army reinforcements in the rear, they are now blocked by boulders, and they can't rescue at all, so they can only take a detour to Haicheng, in this case, I am afraid that it will take a few more hours." Or it is possible that Duoduo recognized the situation clearly and knew that Haicheng could not be saved, so he simply retreated to Liaoyang. ”

Li Xiao snorted and said: "The country can say yes, Duoduo is now, and we only have these two options, and from the king's point of view, Duoduo, as a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, will see the current situation clearly." He would also know that the best chance to protect himself was to take advantage of the fact that our army had no time to deal with their rear soldiers and horses, so he hurriedly retreated from here to Liaoyang, preserving half of his strength, and hoping to attack Haicheng again, which should be the best choice Duoduo could make. ”

Li Xiao paused, a ruthless sity flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly to Liu Guoneng on the side: "Guoneng, you listen well, this king orders you to be sure to wipe out all the Qing troops in the valley within an hour, and there must be no mistake." ”

Liu Guoneng solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Li, don't worry, the country can guarantee to complete the task and will live up to the trust of the adult!" ”
