Chapter 246: Sun Kewang persuaded him to surrender
Liu Wenxiu's 70,000-strong army took less than half a day before he was killed by the New Liao Army led by Mo Liqin and abandoned his armor and fled in embarrassment. [ Eight (a Chinese < ?).
Liu Wenxiu ran back to Changsha City, but only more than 10,000 of his 70,000 subordinates fled back to Changsha City with him, and the rest were either beheaded or captured by the New Liao Army, and a small number of routs fled.
It wasn't until it was getting late that the New Liao Army finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to Ningxiang City. At this time, the city of Ningxiang was completely controlled by the new Liao army, and the hidden rebels in the city were basically searched.
In today's battle, Ningxiang City was broken, the rebel general Sun Kewang was captured alive, and Liu Wenxiu's 70,000 reinforcements were defeated, and the results were gratifying.
After capturing Ningxiang City, Changsha City was directly exposed to the front of the New Liao Army, and there was no buffer zone to resist the advance of the New Liao Army.
In this battle, the New Liao Army killed more than 24,000 rebels, captured nearly 80,000 people, and captured a large number of horses, weapons, grain and grass materials.
Zhang Xianzhong was shocked when he learned that Sun Kewang was captured alive by the official army, and Liu Wenxiu was shocked after fleeing back in defeat, and hurriedly ordered the four cities to be closed and hold Changsha. At the same time, he sent people to ask for help from Wang Ziyong, Tu Yongzhong, Hu Jianqing and others.
When Mo Li heard that he had captured Zhang Xianzhong's eldest adopted son, Kewang, suddenly his heart moved, so he ordered someone to bring Sun Kewang up.
After a while, Sun Kewang was tied up by Wuhua and taken to Moli's big tent.
Seeing Mo Li, Sun Kewang was also stiff, and he didn't kneel, but just glared angrily at these officers and generals in front of him.
Xiao Yang was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "The bold thief Kou Sun is hopeful, and he still doesn't kneel when he sees Lord Dutai!" Come on! Call me ......."
Mo Li waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yang, forget it." ”
Then he turned his head to Sun Kewang and said, "You are Zhang Xianzhong's eldest adopted grandson?" ”
Sun Kewang's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Phew! Dog officer! One day, my father will come and take your head and sacrifice it to my brother. ”
"Really?" Mo Li smiled faintly and said, "Do you really think that your old son Zhang Xianzhong can have any good ending?" Tell you, your younger brother Liu Wenxiu's 70,000 troops have been defeated by this official, and now in Changsha City, how many rabble can Zhang Xianzhong defend the city for him? When the Japanese officials led their troops to besiege Changsha City, it was the end of Zhang Xianzhong's thief! ”
"Phew! Dream! ”
Although Sun Kewang was tough in his mouth, his heart was already sinking. He knew that what Mo Li said was true, at least Liu Wenxiu's defeat should be a fact, otherwise why hadn't he rushed to rescue Sun Kewang until now.
"If you don't believe it, then the official can consider letting you live one more day, and tomorrow I will teach you how to take Changsha City!"
"You're going to kill me?" Sun Kewang couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. In his mind, he was also the number one general under the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, and the officials and soldiers should not kill him casually.
"Look at you, you are also the eldest adopted son of the rebel thief Zhang Xianzhong, or a general with tens of thousands of troops, just like this, how can this official not despise you?" Mo Li said in a good time: "Isn't it just to cut off a head, can't you do this work less?" ”
Mo Li's answer almost made Sun Kewang collapse, what is this, we used to cut off other people's heads, but this time our heads are going to be cut off......
"Nope! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die......"
People are afraid of death, and it is not human who is really not afraid of death, that is God. Sun Kewang is not a god, he is naturally afraid of death, and he is very afraid, his body is even a little shaky, why didn't he think that death was a terrible thing when he cut off other people's heads before.
Mo Li saw Sun Kewang's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but despise him even more, and said, "Sun Kewang, you really don't want to die?" ”
, whoever wants to die is a fool. Sun Kewang wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't dare to pretend to be forced anymore, and begged: "Ask for mercy from the adults...... The hardness just now was gone.
Mo Li looked at Sun Kewang's annoying appearance, and said with disdain: "Okay, since you are so afraid of death, then the official will give you a chance, help the official do one thing tomorrow, as long as it is done, the official will spare your life!" ”
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I don't know what the adults want the villains to do? ”
"Tomorrow, the Japanese official will tell you, go down!"
Mo Li looked at the back of Sun Kewang, and there was a trace of disappointment in his heart. At first, I thought he could be so tough, but I didn't expect that as soon as he said that he was going to determine his life and death, he immediately urinated, this kind of person, what kind of general is he under the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong!
The next day, Moli led an army of 50,000 and selected 10,000 from the rebels captured yesterday to march to Changsha together. Tens of thousands of troops set up a formation under Changsha City, and one artillery cannon lined up against the city wall, pointing directly at the head of the city with black pressure.
After Zhang Xianzhong learned that the official army was besieging the city, he personally brought Liu Wenxiu and other generals to the city and commanded his subordinates to defend the city.
Mo Li's order took Sun Kewang up and said: "Sun Kewang, according to what you did before, you must be killed, but now this official has given you a task, you go and persuade Zhang Xianzhong to surrender the official army, if you do it, this official will let you go!" ”
"Huh?" Sun Kewang was stunned. Persuade him to surrender Lao Tzu? This ......
"Ahhhh Don't you want to die, I don't care what method you use, as long as you can make Zhang Xianzhong open the city gate, the official will promise to spare your life! Mo Li said coldly.
"This ...... The little ones obeyed. Sun Kewang had no choice but to come to the city of Changsha and shouted at the city: "Father! Don't let go of the arrows! It's the boy back! ”
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the city, and it was indeed his eldest son Sun Kewang, but when he saw him in rags, he hung his head, thinking that Ningxiang was lost in his hands, he couldn't help but be extremely angry, and scolded: "You useless thing!" Why do you come back like this, you might as well let Lao Tzu see your corpse! ”
After listening to Zhang Xianzhong's scolding, Sun Kewang instinctively drooped his head, but for the sake of his life, he still said cheekily: "Father, the child is useless, he lost Ningxiang, and the child didn't have the face to come to see you, but this official army is too powerful, completely different from the officers and soldiers we fought in the past, so, father, let's surrender!" We really can't beat them! ”
Zhang Xianzhong was furious and shouted: "Bastard thing! Do you still have the face to let Lao Tzu surrender to the official army? I don't trust you so much! Hum! ”
Sun Kewang said with a sad face: "Father, the child can't help it, the new Liao army is too strong, too cold-blooded, they have killed many of our brothers, we can't beat it!" If you don't believe it, ask the second brother, didn't he also fight with the New Liao Army? Father, let's hurry down! ”
Zhang Xianzhong glanced back at Liu Wenxiu beside him, and his face was even more gloomy. Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but tremble in his heart, yesterday he lost more than 50,000 horses, and although Zhang Xianzhong did not behead him after he came back, he also scolded him and cut his military power.
Zhang Xianzhong glanced at the soldiers on the city and saw that the soldiers on the city were a little frightened and hesitant, and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "You son of a, you are talking nonsense here to disturb the morale of the army, come on!" Shoot me to death! ”
Liu Wenxiu's heart sank, and he wanted to say something, so he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.
The soldiers beside Zhang Xianzhong listened to the order, and hurriedly opened their bows and arrows to shoot at Sun Kewang under the city.
Sun Kewang was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and ran. Rao was running fast, but his left arm was still grazed by a stray arrow, and blood flowed.
Sun Kewang fled back to the front of the New Liao Army in embarrassment, and said with a sad face: "My lord, the little one tried his best, but his father ...... Alas! ”
Mo Li sat upright and saw it early, he didn't expect to be able to move Zhang Xianzhong to surrender with Sun Kewang's words, the reason why he asked Sun Kewang to persuade him to surrender was just to shake the rebels' morale.
Now that Sun Kewang is back with a disgraced face, Mo Li is not surprised at all, he looks at the city in the distance, retracts his gaze, falls on Sun Kewang, and says calmly: "So, you can't convince Zhang Xianzhong to surrender?" ”
Sun Kewang's heart jumped suddenly, and he looked up and was about to answer, but he saw that Mo Li's face turned cold, and Sen Ran said: "Since you can't even convince you Lao Tzu to surrender, what's the use of keeping you?" ”
As he spoke, Mo Li pulled out his long knife with a bang, as fast as lightning, and with a click, he saw that Sun Kewang's round head was cut off with a knife, rolling to the ground, and a pillar of blood rose to the sky.
Mo Li waved his long knife, and the blood on the knife fell to the ground bit by bit, and he turned his head to the 10,000 captives on the other side and said loudly: "You see, this official promised Sun Kewang that as long as he persuaded Zhang Xianzhong's thief to surrender, this official would spare his life!" It's a pity that he disappointed the official too much, the official has always made promises, since he can't let Zhang Xianzhong surrender, then he can only die! ”
Tens of thousands of captives looked at Mo Li in fear, the tip of his knife still dripping blood. Sun Kewang died, and the eldest son of the Eight Kings, Zhang Xianzhong's most relied on general, was killed by Mo Li with a knife. The captives even felt a chill on the back of their necks.
Mo Li held the reins of the horse in one hand, pointed the long knife in the other hand at Changsha City, and said loudly: "This official has always been very fair, I can give him a chance, and I can also give you a chance!" Now, all of you will go up to me to persuade the rebels in the city to surrender, and if you can persuade the rebels to open the gates, I will spare your life!" Otherwise, Sun Kewang will be your example! ”
The captives looked at each other, all panicked, how easy was it to persuade Zhang Xianzhong's rebels in the city to surrender? There are still forty or fifty thousand rebels in the city, plus some of the young and strong people of Changsha City that Zhang Xianzhong has wrapped, the strength of the city has reached seventy or eighty thousand, Changsha City is tall and strong, the city defense facilities are complete, there are dozens of artillery pieces alone, and the materials in the city are sufficient, how can Zhang Xianzhong be willing to surrender easily?
But it can't be persuaded to surrender, Sun Kewang's head is still rolling on the ground, and Mo Li doesn't mind cutting off thousands of more heads to build a capital view and deter the rebels in the city.
Under the coercion of the new Liao army, tens of thousands of captives held Sun Kewang's head high and walked towards the city of Changsha......
