Chapter 181: Attacking the Heart
After the secret guard disappeared in place, an old subordinate beside Li Yanxing said: "Master, if it is done, how should the young lady explain it at that time?" ”
Li Yanxing only glanced at the old ministry lightly, and said with majesty in his eyes: "Li Zheng, are you confused? ”
The person called Li Zheng was slightly stunned, a look of panic flashed on his face, and he said: "The subordinates know that they are wrong, and what the master wants to do, he never needs to explain it to anyone. ”
Li Yanxing sighed slightly and said, "However, it's time to tell Fei Fei the truth about some things." ”
"Yes, my master is right."
Li Yanxing looked out the window, his gaze became distant, as if he remembered those old memories.
He was originally a member of the royal family of Southern Chu, but he was forced to come here by his nephew, so that he could not return home. Even his wife and children are separated by yin and yang, how can he not avenge such a big hatred?
After waiting for so many years, now I finally have a chance to take revenge.
The news of Qin Moxuan's disappearance quickly spread in Yuehua City, causing panic among the people in an instant.
At this moment, an elderly man, on crutches, trembled up the city wall and said to the people inside the city wall: "Folks, there is a rumor in the city that our majesty has suddenly disappeared on the way back to Beijing. Not to mention whether this is true or not, but from the impact of this incident, it is clear that someone deliberately used this news to make us mess up. ”
"We must not fall for the thieves, as can be seen from the disaster relief. This Your Majesty of ours is a benevolent and holy king, and he will never leave us alone, and must have sent a large army to save us. ”
"What we have to do is to guard this first line of defense for Your Majesty, and also for our own hometown. The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, but the city cannot be broken! ”
The old man spoke very impassionedly on the city wall, so that the people who had lost their hearts at once instantly found the motivation to persevere.
"Yes, Elder Chen is right. We have to guard this month of Huacheng for Your Majesty, and we have to guard our hometown for ourselves. ”
"Yes, we can do without anything, we can be wounded, bloodied and even pay for our lives, but the city is unbreakable!"
"Folks, let's take up arms and fight together!"
"Even if the city is broken, we will build a wall with our flesh and blood."
"Well said, let's resist the enemy together!"
“……”
“…………”
Everyone's words rekindled everyone's fighting spirit.
At this time, the city lord also came, and he personally helped Chen Lao down from the city wall and spoke to everyone.
Everyone usually loves this city lord very much, and naturally they will listen to him. Moreover, he also said something that was very motivating.
That is, the city lords of several neighboring cities sent a lot of guards, including the two cities that also received Qin Moxuan's holy grace due to the flood.
The news was very encouraging, as everyone was already exhausted from a few days of hard work, and reinforcements were still coming.
At that time, they heard the news of their majesty's disappearance, which made them lose their backbone and the strength to hold on all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Chen Lao's remarks and the guards sent by several neighboring cities brought over, which made everyone regain their fighting spirit.
The people took up the weapons they had and resisted with the guards of the wall.
The smoke of gunfire was filled, and the artillery fire flew into the city walls from time to time, causing panic among the people in the city, but they did not complain and still defended it.
This battle, as soon as it was fought, was fought until the evening, and finally there was a temporary truce.
The people in Yuehua City breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. Because, they have had another difficult day, which is also explained. It was another day closer to the arrival of reinforcements.
At this moment, in the tent of the chief general of Nanchu, a person suddenly flashed.
"The Lord has commanded you to attack Yuehua City overnight, and you must capture Yuehua City before dawn comes. Otherwise, when the reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to capture them at that time. ”
When Wei Yun, the commander of the Southern Chu Army, heard this, he made a solemn face and said, "Before dawn...... I'm afraid this ......"
"How?" The man's tone rose abruptly.
When Wei Yun heard this, he hurriedly said, "It's okay, tell the lord, and your subordinates will definitely do it." ”
"You understand very well, the consequences of not being able to do it."
Wei Yun's body stiffened, but he still said firmly: "Understood! ”
"That's fine, it's a tip from the Lord." The man took out a black pouch and threw it to Wei Yun.
Wei Yun hurriedly caught it, a little flattered.
"Thank you Lord for me."
The man only nodded slightly, then disappeared in place.
After he left, Wei Yun breathed a sigh of relief. I hurriedly opened the bag, but there were only two words written in it.
Heart-to-heart!
That night, just when the people of Yuehua City thought that they could finally rest well tonight, the alarm bell rang again, followed by a series of artillery fire.
This night attack caught the people of Yuehua City off guard. In the darkness of the night, the fire was never extinguished.
Many of the soldiers guarding the city walls died and were wounded, and they were even more tragic than in the daytime.
After a long burst of artillery fire and a rain of arrows, the other side suddenly stopped.
"Listen, the people inside the city wall, your monarch has already died, otherwise Jinghua would not have been supervised by the Taishi. The monarch is gone, and you are still desperately resisting, what is the point? ”
"It's better to submit to my Nanchu and become my Nanchu people. Our Majesty will treat you well, as long as you surrender and open the city gates to let the Southern Chu army in. ”
"Otherwise, if you resist so desperately, you will only be afraid of countless casualties in the end."
"The kings of your Western Qin Kingdom are all cowardly and cowardly, in the face of attacks from other countries, what will you do except cede land and pay compensation? How do you think the vast land of your Western Qin Kingdom has shrunk to what it is now? ”
"It's just because your monarch is timid and afraid of things that he wants to cut off the land and settle the people."
"Also, do you think that the imperial court sent reinforcements over, let me tell you, the dispatch was sent, but the leader of the troops was a hairy boy about twenty years old. He has no combat experience, which clearly means that the court does not look at you people. ”
"And, as far as I know, the imperial court has been sending troops for a long time, but it has been postponed for several days. Is this normal? I'm afraid that the main general is already scared and runs away first, hahaha......"
This sentence caused ridicule from everyone in the Southern Chu army.
The people inside the city wall couldn't listen to it anymore, and finally a thirteen-year-old child ran out and shouted to the Southern Chu army under the city wall: "You guys are talking nonsense, it's all nonsense!" ”
"Your Majesty will not leave us alone, he has already sent someone to save us."
This child's words caused the Southern Chu army to laugh even more unbridledly.
"Your Majesty himself is in trouble, do you think he is still alive? I'm afraid that he is already dead, and maybe he has been taken away by wild beasts, and there are no bones left after eating. ”
"You talk nonsense!" The child was angry and cried, staring at the people below, and his eyes were red.
In the firelight, his eyes were filled with anger.
Because of the words of the Southern Chu Army, many people in the city who had already ignited their fighting spirit suddenly lost all their courage to persevere.
A lot of people start to doubt themselves and start to doubt the meaning of sticking with it.
The people gathered inside the walls were silent.
I don't know which person in the crowd spoke first, but the man shouted: "We don't know whether Your Majesty is dead or alive, what is the point of us persevering like this?" ”
"The imperial court sent someone with no combat experience, did he never care about the life and death of the people of Yuehua City? Is it that our Yuehua City is a dispensable existence for them? ”
“……”
“…………”
In the crowd, some people began to have doubts one after another, constantly doubting themselves.
This is extremely unfavorable for operations.
Sure enough, soon this mood spread, and many people began to howl and shout, venting their bitterness and pain these days.
They have persisted for so long because Qin Moxuan is His Majesty in their hearts and the light in their hearts. And they were confident that their majesty would come to their rescue, just as they had been in the flood.
But now, they were told that the light in their hearts had dimmed and was about to be extinguished.
In the crowd, although there were still people refutating, the time to refute was gradually getting smaller.
"I can give you half an hour to think about it, and after half an hour, if you surrender, I will spare you all. If it does not fall, then this artillery fire will not stop tonight until the moon is captured in Huacheng. Wei Yun said this and returned to the military tent.
A night attack is the first step in attacking the heart, and it will catch people off guard. The people of Hwaseong have been working hard for a few days of war this month, and the fighting spirit just now is only a short ignition, but when they encounter greater difficulties, they will easily collapse.
And this surprise attack is what it does.
The next words that make them discouraged and self-doubting are the second step in attacking their hearts.
And half an hour is the third step, and everything that follows, if nothing else, will come naturally.
"General, this trick of yours is really wonderful!" One of Wei Yun's soldiers patted his horse's ass.
"The people in Huacheng have begun to shake now, if the people's hearts are shaken, the capture of this Yuehuacheng is just around the corner."
Wei Yun didn't speak, although he was calm on the surface, he was still a little empty in his heart.
If something happens, then it will be difficult for you to explain it to the Lord.
The people of Yuehua City gathered together, and they sat on the ground and looked at the night in the sky together.
Tonight, it seems that even this day is not beautiful. In the night sky, only a few dim stars were seen sporadically, and there seemed to be dark clouds in the sky.
The hearts of the people of Yuehua City are extremely sad, where is their majesty now?
