The Haicheng garrison Balama, together with a group of escort cavalry, silently stood on the north gate of Haicheng, they raised their heads to look north, their eyes crossed the dense besieged Tang army array under the city, and everyone's eyes showed a strong desire for reinforcements.

But they stood guard at the gate for two days, and in the vast distance, nothing could be seen except for what seemed to be white, except for the seemingly never-ending snow, and there was not a shadow of the reinforcements that Barama had been thinking about at night.

I don't know why, as time passed, there was a lingering anxiety and worry in Barama's heart, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts flooded in his heart, making him feel like a boulder under the surface calm.

Barama tried his best to calm his mind, at least on the surface to make a deep and calm state, there is a way, the eyes of the army, if even his own general who defends the city is restless, panic can not end, then the defenders in the city, I am afraid that they will only become more and more demoralized, and people's minds will be scattered.

"Master! Look, master! There's a whole bunch of people coming from there! ”

One of the white-toothed guards beside Barama suddenly pointed to the northeast and screamed in dismay.

Barama followed his fingers, and sure enough, at the end of the heavens and the earth, in the fluttering white snow that was falling in the sky, on the horizon in the northeast, it seemed as if a faint and constantly surging small black dot suddenly appeared.

Gradually, the black dot became bigger and bigger, and suddenly became thicker, turning into the shape of a thick line, and after a while, this thick line spread out like fragrant ash, turning into a faintly visible soldier and horse, and the direction of this soldier and horse was undoubtedly coming in the direction of Haicheng.

Isn't this rush of soldiers and horses the reinforcements of my Qing Dynasty?

Barrama could feel his own heart beating violently as if he had been given a booster, and at this moment, as if his whole body was full of life power, he was so excited that he seemed to be about to bounce off his chair next.

It's just that Barama quickly heard that in the Tang army array besieging the city under the city, continuous cheers immediately sounded, and at this moment, his originally excited heart was immediately sunk to the bottom of the ice lake.

"Not good! Master, it is not our army reinforcements that come, but the soldiers and horses of the Tang army, look at them under the banner of the Tang army! The guard next to him suddenly screamed loudly again, and his trembling voice contained deep fear.

The flush of Barama's face quickly receded, turning to a gray color like rotten wood, and he stretched out his hand with difficulty, took the clairvoyant mirror from the hand of one of the guards next to him, and held it in his hand tremblingly, and looked towards the Tang army marching towards Haicheng.

In the clairvoyant mirror, he clearly saw that several huge Tang Army flags with black letters on a red background were flying at the forefront of this team, and under the banners, in the well-equipped Tang Army formation, the armor and weapons on the soldiers seemed to be flashing with a faint cold light. Looking at this enemy army that could not be seen at a glance, Barama's heart was like a knife.

However, his depressed mind suddenly tightened tighter and tighter, like a sponge that had been pinched so tightly, that it lost all its moisture in an instant.

Because, he clearly saw that in this Tang army formation, there were a large number of Qing army prisoners. These Qing captives, stripped of their armor and revealing their shaved and blue scalps, each shivering with cold, were like a powerful sledgehammer that shattered the last glimmer of hope and fantasy in Barama's heart. "Master! Among these Tang troops, it seems that there are a lot of prisoners of our army, could it be that they are from the White Wolf Valley in the northeast? Did you defeat our reinforcements in the White Wolf Valley, and then take advantage of the power of a great victory to come to the place where I am Haicheng and land on us? “

The guard next to him screamed loudly again, his voice full of fear, accompanied by heavy breathing.

Barama closed her eyes in pain, then let out a long sigh.

It's over, the reinforcements of the Qing Dynasty must have been completely wiped out by the Tang army in the White Wolf Valley, and now they are alone, only these 3,000 soldiers are left in Haicheng, and no reinforcements will come to the rescue.

Such a situation can be said to have completely fallen into a dead end. And such a dead end, even if Sun Wu is reborn and Zhuge is reborn, I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done.

Looking at the Tang army team that was getting closer and closer, Barama's mind was only confused.

At this moment, all the Qing army guards, even if they are stupid, know what kind of situation they are facing now, the Qing army standing at the head of the city, everyone's face is full of panic, and there are even more people, their legs are already trembling slightly.

Diametrically opposed to the panicked and frightened Qing army defenders, the besieging Tang army under the city, cheering wave after wave, surging momentum, made this cold and bone-chilling snow day full of vitality and boundless joy.

In less than half an hour, the Tang army team that came from afar finally came to the north gate of Haicheng, and at this time, the cheers and cheers of the Tang army outside the city seemed to be excited.

Li Xiao, the commander of the Tang Army, looked around at the excited soldiers of the Tang Army with a smile, and his face was full of snowflakes, and he was very pleased with his smile.

Li Xiao raised his hand and beckoned to Karamu on the side, Karamu came in response, and then, Li Xiao whispered to him, Karamu's face showed a sudden look, and then nodded again and again to show that he knew. Then, he took two more guards and galloped towards the north gate of Haicheng in the south.

When he saw that in the Tang army array, Nakaramu took two more Tang army guards and headed towards the north gate of Haicheng, where he was sitting, Barama closed his eyes in pain.

Of course, he knew what Karamu was here again. These damned Tang troops just want to take advantage of the current annihilation of the Qing army's reinforcements and the momentum is in full swing, and come to force them to surrender again.

Barama sighed secretly in his heart, perhaps, in the eyes of the Tang army, now that the Tang army has won a new victory, the Qing army's reinforcements have been wiped out, the city is panicking, and the morale of the defenders is low.

When Barama thought of this, the corners of his mouth turned into a fierce angle, and the gaze in his triangular eyes became fierce in vain.

Hmph, you damn Tang Army, do you want to force Ben General to surrender through such means? Phew, Ben will never say yes!

Barama knew in his heart that although the Tang army destroyed the Qing army reinforcements, it lacked siege equipment after all, and it would take at least seven or eight days for him to finish the siege equipment or transport siege artillery from Yingkou, and if the road was delayed due to snow, it would most likely take more than ten days for the Tang army to launch an attack on Haicheng.

In other words, Barama is not too worried about the Tang army's immediate attack on the city now, after all, although they are now besieging Haicheng and destroying the reinforcements of the Qing army, if they really want to attack the city, this seven or eight days of preparation time is necessary no matter what. In other words, I still have at least seven or eight days to arrange how to arrange it in the future.

Thinking of this, Barama suddenly felt a little more confident in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly watched the Tang army's envoy Karamu get closer and closer, and then stopped outside the frozen moat.

Karamu had just reined in the horse's hooves, and before he could shout, Barama at the head of the city couldn't help but take the lead in shouting: "Dog slave, what are you doing here, do you still want to be a thief, and then persuade Ben to surrender these Han dogs?!" Ben will know that you must have set up an ambush and eliminated my Qing reinforcements in the White Wolf Valley, so you want to threaten to force the general, but Ben will tell you that although Ben will now be a lonely city and a widow, he will definitely live and die with Haicheng, sacrifice his life for the Qing Dynasty, and die for the imperial court! Ben will never be like you shameless ugly, the betrayer will be ashamed to survive! ”

Listening to Barama's words full of resentment and shame, Karamu was not angry, he stroked his beard covered with snowflakes, and replied with a smile: "Balama, don't be angry or too excited, I am not here to persuade you to surrender, but to talk to you about the conditions of cooperation." ”

Balama was stunned, he blinked, he didn't understand how Karamu could change such a way of speaking, how could this guy suddenly talk to himself about the conditions, what kind of medicine is sold in this guy's gourd?

Baramalius hesitated, then replied in a loud voice; "You guy, listen well, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't come around the bends! In addition, Ben will tell you that you and I are in a state of extreme hostility, and it is not a joke to talk about cooperation. ”

After hearing this, Karamu shook his head again and said with a smile: "Balama, before I finish my sentence, how can you refuse it so stubbornly. What I want to say to you is that my family Master Li has made a decision, but for you now, it is a great opportunity to live, why do you say that you refuse to listen to me and finish me well? ”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!" Barama, at the head of the city, roared again with great impatience.

Karamu sighed softly and said loudly, "Listen up, Balama! Lord Li said that the condition he can give you is that as long as you surrender the city anyway, he does not ask you to immediately allow you to return to Liaoyang with your personal generals and a group of guards, and Lord Li promises not to hurt your life, and even your belongings can be taken with you. In addition, the soldiers and horses surrendered in the city, and Lord Li also promised not to kill any of them, and all of them were accepted. How's that, this condition, it's enough, right? ”

Hearing Karamu's shout, Barama had not yet spoken, and the guards beside him were already whispering, and many people's eyes began to shine. Barama heard their words clearly, and of course he knew what was on their minds at the moment.

That is, if they can follow them out of Haicheng and save their lives, they are extremely willing, not to mention, Tang Jun also allowed them to take away their private property, which is a great gift for them.

Barama quickly weighed it in her mind, but a chill immediately rose from her neck.

He knew that the condition of the Tang Army had already made everyone feel moved by the guards and generals next to him, and if he forcibly opposed everyone's opinions and forcibly confronted the Tang Army to the end, then maybe the knife that would be cut on his neck in the future would not be the sword of the Tang Army, but the sharp waist knife of these of his own subordinates.

Tang Jun's provocative plan is really fucking ruthless.

Barama gritted her teeth fiercely, turned her head to look left and right, and saw her own men, looking at her with an expectant and even pleading look.

Barama sighed, knowing that the current situation is indeed stronger than others, but now he is not satisfied with this condition of Tang Jun. What's more, how much credibility does Tang Jun's words have, no one dares to pack a ticket.

If his own crowd really left the city, then it would definitely be very easy for the Tang army to intercept and kill him on the road.

He thought for a while, and was about to open his mouth to ask a question, when Karamu below, as if he had thought of how he would speak, immediately laughed and said loudly: "Balama, are you worried that my family adults are not talking? Tell you, as long as you can hand over this sea city to our army in time, Lord Li has no intention of killing you at all. ”

Barama smiled coldly, but said: "You say this, but I don't believe it, Li Xiao and I and other Qing soldiers are already enemies of life and death, how can he suddenly have a kind heart and be willing to send me and others to live?" If the general sacrificed Haicheng and led the crowd to leave, if he suddenly raised troops to attack, wouldn't we just be able to tie up and capture? ”

After Balama finished speaking, Karamu smiled again: "Balama, you are saying this, as if our Lord Li is here to deceive you, so we are talking like this. Let me tell you, for a little person like you, Lord Li actually looks at you like a little ant, and your life and death, Lord Li doesn't care about it at all. To put it mildly, a small person like you, it doesn't make much sense for Master Li to kill a hundred of you. ”

Karamu's words made Barama's face blue and white for a while, and before he could speak, Karamu said again; "Barama, you don't think about it, the reason why Lord Li led the elite of the Tang army to expedition to the Qing realm, in the final analysis, is because he was invited by your Prince Su to decide to intervene in the current internal disputes in the Qing Dynasty, so as to help Haoge finally ascend to the throne of the Qing court. You also know that in the Qing court, Dolgon and Hauge are competing for power and profit, and it is not yet known who will be in the hands of the monarch of the Qing Dynasty in the future. You haven't thought about how you will deal with yourself in the future, in case Hauge wins? Even if you are here today to serve Dolgon and fight to the death against the reinforcements invited by Prince Su, I am afraid that after Hauge ascends the throne in the future, you will still be charged with rebellion in the end! When the time comes, you will be dead for a hundred years, but I am afraid that your children and grandchildren, your family and relatives, will all be affected by you, such serious consequences, have you really never thought about it? “
