Sun Kewang's words were sincere, but Liu Jinzhong had no expression, but in his heart, he was also thinking repeatedly.

Seeing that Liu Jinzhong was silent on the surface, Sun Kewang knew that he must have moved in his heart, and hit the railway while it was hot: "General Liu, in the current situation, your troops are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they must be stationed in Tongjiang County and the west bank of Xiaodangshui, and the strength of each garrison is limited. And the second mayor of the Tang Army led about 80,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters and surrendered troops, covering from behind. What's more, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the eleventh town of the Tang Army in the east, eyeing your troops, and they are about to cross the river to attack. ”

The muscles on Liu Jinzhong's face twitched violently.

He gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and said to Sun Kewang: "Hmph, Sun Kewang has a certain point. But do you think that Ben will be so stupid as to go to the Tang Army to hit a stone with an egg? Tell you that Ben will have received the emperor's order, and Ben will urgently withdraw from this place, and Ben will leave this place when Ben will leave this place......"

"The question is, can you still be separated?" Sun Kewang sneered: "Now that your troops and horses are stationed in the area of Tongjiang County and Xiaodangshui, now that the Tang army is pressing the border and is about to launch a general attack, it is too late for you to inform them to retreat together." In my estimation, even if General Liu and you withdraw immediately, half of these 50,000 soldiers and horses can be withdrawn with you, which is rare. And if you retreat in such a hurry, the Tang army will definitely chase and kill along the way, and will not easily let you and others escape. Most of your infantry are in the majority, and after chasing and killing along the way, it is extremely rare and even a miracle that a few thousand cavalry can escape. And along the way, there are hundreds of miles from Tongjiang to Tongchuan, and the territory occupied by the Tang army is all along the way. Forgive me for saying a heart-wrenching word, in case Your Excellency is killed by the Tang Army or thieves on the road, then when you are dying, I am afraid that you will regret it. ”

Liu Jinzhong's face was very ugly, the muscles on his face were constantly trembling, and he could see that his heart was turbulent, but he was holding himself down.

Seeing him like this, Sun Kewang knew that his persuasion had been extremely effective, so he smiled faintly and said: "Okay, if you take another 10,000 steps back, even if the general can finally lead these thousands of cavalry to escape and return to Tongchuan or Chengdu smoothly, and Zhang Xianzhong does not pursue the general's fault for the defeat of the army, then, in the case of the imminent destruction of the Great Western Kingdom, what is the future of the general?" I'm afraid that the final outcome will be the powerless and powerless General Liu, and in the end, he will also be destroyed along with the Great Western Kingdom. Is such a final ending really what General Liu really wants? ”

When Sun Kewang said this, he let out a long breath and said: "Okay, after the next sentence has been said, I believe that General Liu will act in the end, I believe that he has an opinion, and Sun will not say more." ”

Liu Jinzhong sneered, subconsciously clenched the saber at his waist, and asked rhetorically: "Sun Kewang, aren't you afraid, the general took you and the hundreds of cavalry to coerce the Tang army to make way and let our army withdraw from the local area?" ”

Sun Kewang seemed to have expected him to ask like this, and he couldn't help laughing.

"General Liu, you are a smart person, how could you do such a stupid act." Sun Kewang shook his head with a smile: "Zai Xia is just a surrender general, those cavalry, they are also the former Daxi cavalry who surrendered with me, including Zaixia, this bit of men and horses is dispensable for the Tang Army, how can they let you escape!" To put it mildly, even if you kill us all, Tang Jun won't blink an eye! ”

When Sun Kewang said this, his face turned cold: "It's just that if you act like this, then the Tang army will no longer have any scruples, and will never show mercy to his subordinates, and will definitely attack you with all his strength, and the people who are captured will also be resolutely killed without leaving them alive." They will certainly use this as a means of severe punishment for your subordinates to the end, and if you want to act like this, you must think carefully about what your fate will be. ”

After Sun Kewang finished his words coldly, Liu Jinzhong's face was very stiff, and the whole person seemed to have lost his spirit in an instant, and he stood in place like a log.

There was a deathly silence in the whole tent.

Sun Kewang couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Liu Jinzhong like this, but on the surface, he still looked calm and serious.

After a long time, Liu Jinzhong slowly raised his head and said softly to Sun Kewang: "In this way, you will lead your troops back first, go and report to the main general of the Tang army, and ask him to give this general an hour's time, don't launch an attack for the time being, whether it is a battle or a surrender, this general has his own plans." ”

"Yes, I hope General Liu will seize this last opportunity." Sun Kewang bowed his hand and said goodbye: "I only hope that General Liu will not do stupid things where there is a way in heaven and no way to go in hell." ”

Liu Jinzhong didn't speak, just waved his hand and asked him to leave the account.

Sun Kewang left Liu Jinzhong's Chinese army tent, and then took the hundreds of cavalry and returned to the Tang army camp in the west.

"Mayor An, since Liu Jinzhong proposed to give them two hours, then we might as well wait and see. Forgive them for not making any waves. Sun Kewang whispered.

Monk An nodded, and then sneered: "Well, since that's the case, why not give him an hour, it's just that although our army doesn't fight against it, the relevant combat preparations must not be delayed." Passing on our military order, we should immediately divide and surround Tongjiang City and Liu Jinzhong's main garrison locations, and we must let them fully feel the huge pressure before they can surrender as soon as possible. ”

"Order!"

When he heard that the Tang army was coming, boundless, and was rapidly encircling the garrison points in Tongjiang County and Xiaodangshui, Liu Jinzhong couldn't help but sigh, he knew that the time had finally come for him to make a final decision.

"Grandma's, the situation is stronger than people, and those who know the times are Junjie, since this battle can't be fought and there is no way to escape, let's surrender to the Tang army like that Sun Kewang." Liu Jinzhong smiled bitterly: "In this way, although your reputation is dirty, at least your net worth and life, as well as your future reputation, can be saved, alas, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”

"General Liu is right, please give the order." Left and right are attached.

"Pass on my military order, the whole army will raise a white flag, surrender to the Tang army one by one, and let it fall." Liu Jinzhong let out a long sigh.

"Order!"

Soon, the head of Tongjiang County, as well as the garrison locations in various places of Xiaodanghe, have raised white flags, and all the garrison Daxi Army has laid down their weapons, lined up in line, and surrendered to the Tang army in despair under the leadership of Liu Jinzhong, the chief general who has taken off his armor and only wears a single coat.

Seeing that Liu Jinzhong led his troops to surrender, Monk An, the main division of the Tang Army, was overjoyed and immediately ordered a banquet to celebrate the achievements of all the soldiers, including the newly surrendered soldiers and horses, to congratulate them.

Here is a drunken staggered wine and hot ears, but far away in Langzhong, it is the 100,000 Great Western Army under the personal command of the Great Western Emperor and the Tang Army of the Gaojie Department who defended the city, which have begun to fight to the death.

Since the whole army arrived in Langzhong, the Great Western Army cut down trees, transported equipment, and built siege equipment on a large scale.

And the more than 10,000 defenders in the city and the young people in the city watched the actions of the Great Western Army with a serious and heavy gaze. The main general, Gao Jie, was sure that if he hadn't relied on his years of prestige and harsh military discipline to restrain these troops, perhaps many young and strong people in the city would have been frightened by the momentum of the Great Western Army and fled the city.

Gao Jie had received a reply from Monk An from the returning envoy. Monk An asked him to hold out for ten days no matter what, and when they defeated Liu Jinzhong, he would go back to the aid with all his strength to relieve the siege of Langzhong.

In fact, Gao Jie has already thought about this result, and he can understand it in his heart. It's just that Gao Jie is not too sure about whether he can successfully defend this Langzhong City.

I hope that the Monk Department can come back as soon as possible to solve this dilemma. During this period of time, Gao Jie has patrolled strictly, strengthened the city, and made sufficient preparations to defend the city.

The ancient city of Langzhong, in the atmosphere of extreme depression, under the siege of the Qing army like an iron bucket, spent six days, in the early morning of the seventh day, around Langzhong City, there were deafening horns.

The well-prepared Great Western Army is finally about to begin the siege.

These days, in order to boost morale, Gao Jie, the chief soldier who has been eating and sleeping with ordinary soldiers in the city, opened his swollen eyes and immediately saw a scene that shocked him.

Many huge and sturdy, wet cowhide siege vehicles, pushed hard by a large number of Qing troops, towards the east, south and north gates of Shanhaiguan, slowly pushed forward, the squeak of the wheels rolling, clearly into the ears of every defender in the city.

As far as the eye can see, more Daxi troops, carrying long siege ladders made of birch, like big centipedes that can crawl automatically, are approaching the walls of Langzhong City in all directions.

Seeing that the momentum of the Great Western Army's siege of the city was so grand and terrifying, many of the defenders at the head of the city were very panicked, and many of the young men who were requisitioned were frightened and their faces were white, and their legs were trembling slightly.

"Pass on our military orders, closely observe the offensive dynamics of the Great Western Army, and once you enter the attack range, immediately fire artillery and guns, and kill the enemy as much as possible!"

Gao Jie, who was also shocked in his heart, tried to restrain the panic in his heart, and pretended to give orders calmly.

"Yes, in obedience!"

A standard battle of attack and defense in the late Ming Dynasty officially began.

After the Great Western Army pushed the cart and carried the siege ladder to reach the attack range of the defenders' artillery, the ninety heavy dragon bombardments at the head of the city, as well as the original artillery of the big general, the second general cannon, the Hongyi cannon, the tiger squat cannon, the Franco, the small copper cannon, the small iron cannon and other artillery fire, rumbled one after another.

The unevenly sized jet-black iron bullets, and the dense shrapnel roared towards the Great Western Army besieging the city, and the Great Western Army quickly heard a continuous scream in the formation.

What worries Gao Jie is that the Great Western Army seems to have been prepared for its own means of defending the city, their formation is very scattered, and the number of artillery at the head of Langzhong City is limited, so the lethality of the Great Western Army is very limited, until the Great Western Army attacked the city, the artillery seemed to be fierce and powerful, but it only killed and injured more than 1,000 people.

At this moment, two deafening explosions rang out in succession, and a small iron cannon and a Francophone exploded after only two rounds.

The artillery at the head of Langzhong City has been placed at the head of the city for many years, and there is no one to overhaul it at all.

These two loud explosions were not too far from the main general Gao Jie, and almost burst his eardrums.

He could feel the whole world quickly fall into silence.

Such a suicidal artillery explosion was extremely demoralizing, and Gao Jie clearly saw that many of the young men defending the city had been blown to death, and they howled and turned around and rushed down, and no one could stop them from fleeing.

Gao Jie's heart ached, he opened his mouth wide, and when his ears couldn't hear clearly, he tried his best to shout and greet the artillerymen at the head of the city, telling them to hurry up and fire the artillery, killing and wounding as many enemy soldiers as possible.

At this time, the Great Western Army under the city was approaching, and when the siege ladders began to get closer and closer to the city wall, a large number of Great Western Army archers flocked to it. Skilled in archery, they were full of hard bows, put heavy arrows, squeaked and filled, and shot away at the defenders who were busy at the head of the city.

The roaring rain of arrows attacked the defenders at the head of the city, and many of the defenders and young men were immediately shot alive by the arrows that came from them screaming before they could react.

The main general, Gao Jie, was almost hit, but fortunately the two guards used their shields to protect him in time, so that he escaped with his life.

To make matters worse, due to the sudden attack of the archers of the Great Western Army, the gunners who defended the city were completely suppressed, and before they could finish loading their artillery, they were killed and wounded by arrows one after another, and quickly collapsed into the city.

The archers of the Great Western Army struck a successful blow, and quickly fired a series of arrows, throwing a full six rounds, and only retreated backwards when their arm strength was exhausted.

These six rounds of projectiles caused a lot of casualties to the defenders at the head of the city, and the artillery return fire had completely stopped, only the remaining sergeants were desperately firing back arrows, and of course, there were the remnants of the musketeers who had not fled, firing a sparse sound of guns.

Seeing that the defenders at the head of the city were killed and wounded, and there was no artillery to fight back, the morale of the Great Western Army outside the city was greatly boosted, and they let out a beast-like howl, and they accelerated the pace of rushing forward.

Siege ladders quickly passed through the emergency pontoon bridges built on the moat, and they approached like centipedes that would crawl automatically, and the hooks of the ladder heads clung to the battlements at the head of the city, and leaned firmly against the head of the city.

Once the siege ladder is fixed, the swarms of the Great Western Army will immediately go up the ladder like ants on a tree, and attack the city head.

And those big western troops who pushed carts to attack the city gate no longer had any scruples, they tried their best to speed up their advance, and brought the huge and heavy carts close to the direction of the city gate, and the great western army began to lay wooden planks on the moat, making a simple pontoon bridge, ready to transport vehicles across the river, and then crash the city gate suspension bridge.

The ancient city of Langzhong has reached the most dangerous time in an instant.
