"Three miles away from the marshal is Shexian County, do you say that you will attack the city first to try the quality of this stubborn Wu army, or let the soldiers set up camp first?"

"Zhong Yao, what do you think our army should do at this time?" Hearing the question of the general under the tent, Zhao Wei looked at Zhang Shihui on the side again with a smile.

Maybe he figured out that there was no need for him to have a blood relationship with a king like Zhang Shihui, or maybe not long ago, Zhang Shihui led his troops and horses to defeat Chang Yuchun, who was known as the first brave general in western Zhejiang, and won Zhao Wei's respect.

So in the past few days, Zhao Wei, who is the head coach, has often asked the deputy coach Zhang Shihui in public as he is now.

As for Zhao Wei's question as the coach, Zhang Shihui, who is brave and enterprising, and is Zhang Shihua's only cousin, is really a question to answer.

"The weather is hot, our army has come from a long journey, but the Wu army is waiting for work at this time. At this time, the siege of the city is to let the soldiers die in vain, which is not advisable. However, while our army is encamped, it can also be allowed to surrender.

At this time, Wu's army suffered a heavy defeat, and the hearts of his army must have fluctuated. Our army surrendered at this time, even if we can't let Chang Yuchun turn against him before the battle, I think about it, but I can also make those Wu soldiers under Chang Yuchun's tent become fluctuating. ”

"Haha, okay. Sure enough, it's a good strategy. You should do what Deputy Marshal Zhang said now, set up camp on the one hand, and send a few loud and talkable people to surrender to Shexian County for me! ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Hearing such an order, the generals in the Chu army did not dare to delay.

After why did he bow his head and agree, he also beckoned the flag commander in the army and conveyed Zhao Wei's order.

Then, the three cavalry soldiers of the Chu army marched out of the ranks of the Chu army in full view of everyone, and rode their horses in the direction of She County.

"Listen to all the people in the city!" Clever came to the place where Wu Jun's arrows couldn't shoot, and Rao Hancheng, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, who had just taken office, picked up a special iron horn and began to shout to the defenders in Shexian County.

"Brothers of Wu Jun, we are all sons of the Han family, so we don't need to be enemies. This time, our army came east, not to invade the western part of Zhejiang, but to restore the royal road of the Han family. Nowadays, Jiangbei is still a fishy place, and even the large rivers and mountains in Fujian and Guangdong are still under the iron hooves of the Yuan and Mongolian courts at this time.

Therefore, brothers of the Wu army, our Chu army is really unwilling to continue to fight with you. You must all be able to see at this time that you are no match for our army at all. If you continue to resist, you will die in vain. We don't want to do that at all.

Surrender, brothers of Wu Jun, surrender! The marshal of my family is also willing to assure you here that as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, then no matter what you have ever sat down, my Dachu side will not be blamed for the past.

Brothers of Wu Jun, you have shown enough courage before. Your previous efforts are sufficient to repay your lord. I know that you are all loyal and brave warriors, but before you die on the battlefield, brother, I want you to think about your families.

Do you really want your wife and family to wash their faces with tears in the future, and heaven and man will be separated forever!? Brother Wu Jun, listen to the advice of the elder brother, as long as you put down your weapons, you can enjoy the joy of the countryside with your family, and say goodbye to this fearful battlefield life completely.

So lay down your weapons and surrender!! ”

“……”

Rao Hancheng, in the end, is worthy of being a general who is valued by Zhao Wei because of his ability to speak well.

I thought that asking Rao Hancheng to come forward to surrender at this time was just a routine, and I never thought that such a surrender could play a role at this time.

But under the persuasion of Rao Hancheng's "sincere feelings".

Not to mention, the Wu soldiers who had just experienced a fiasco and whose morale had fallen to the bottom at this time, at this time, you look at me, I look at you, and there are really some thoughts of wanting to put down their weapons and surrender to the Chu army.

Seeing this, the high-level generals of the Wu army in the city, including Chang Yuchun, couldn't help but panic.

Now most of the young and strong people on the city wall are forcibly recruited by the Wu army in the city, these people were born in the prosperous and rich land of Huizhou, and they are the citizens of the right people. The mind is lively, each has its own ideas and has its own attention, which is not comparable to the simple people in the countryside.

If at this time, if there is really a morale of a few grassroots officers and their subordinates who are willing to put down their weapons and surrender, then this group of citizens who are young and strong will have to blow up the pot at this time.

"Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of this group of thieves. Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, is the most untrustworthy. At the beginning, they formed an alliance with Tianwan, but when Tianwan was in civil strife, they turned around and sent troops to annex Tianwan.

A few years ago, they fought in Jiangxi Province, and those who were willing to put down their weapons and surrender in Jiangxi Province did not end well, but were all dragged to the mines in Fuzhou and Huguang to work as coolies.

Brethren now have swords and swords in our hands, and our lives are in our hands. Besides, this time the Chu thieves are alone, and they will definitely not end up well. There are hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters who dare to fight in western Zhejiang, and the grandfather of the country is so wise and martial, how can it be over us at this time.

Brethren, cheer up, as long as we persevere this time, victory will be ours!! ”

The generals of the Wu army on the city wall roared like this, and then on the other side, they couldn't help but hurriedly transfer a few people who were good at using strong bows to scare away Rao Hancheng, who kept shouting outside the city, with the strong bow in his hand.

……

At night, the Chu army had already finished camping.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army under the marshal Zhao Wei, the high-level generals of the Chu army had already gathered together at this time to discuss how to attack Shexian.

Wu Jun obviously looked like he was ready to resist to the end. This county is a big city, and there are tens of thousands of young people in the city. was requisitioned by the Wu army, even if this group of people are ordinary people who have never been in battle, in this hot weather, our army is really not easy to attack!

What's more, even if the generals of the Wu army on the city wall shouted. Zhu Yuanzhang in western Zhejiang will obviously not watch such a strategic place as Huizhou lose in vain. He will definitely do everything possible to transfer troops and horses from other prefectures to come to Huizhou to support.

At this time, the most likely to come to support Huizhou were Wuzhou (Ningyue) and Shaoxing in the southeast of Huizhou. According to the reports of our army's spies, the Wu army has deployed a total of more than 40,000 soldiers in these two places.

If such a force comes to support, our army's certainty of breaking the city will undoubtedly be even smaller with the same strength of both sides. Therefore, this time the commander also wanted to ask the princes, whether our army will attack the city with all its strength next, or retreat to Xiuning to contain the Wu army? ”

"This ......"

At this time, hearing Zhao Wei ask like this, the crowd couldn't help but be quiet.

But thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising that Zhao Wei asked like this.

After all, although the task given to them by their king was to attack Huizhou, in the final analysis, it was only to contain the southern corps of the Wu army in Jiande, Wuzhou, and Shaoxing.

Although they can't conquer Huizhou now, the southern corps of the Wu army has been completely restrained by them at this time.

So from this point of view, the Chu army at this time has already completed the task assigned to them by Zhang Shihua.

But although the task was completed, it was not beautiful after all. Besides, it was just to contain the Wu army, where could there be a great credit for conquering Shexian County and turning tens of thousands of Wu troops into turtles in the urn.

Therefore, thinking like this, Wang Shijiu and the others couldn't help but stand up and say: "Our army has won consecutive battles, and it is the time when morale is strong. At this time, there is no reason to retreat without a fight. As for worrying about the southern source of the Wu army, the marshal could send a heavy general to guard Songkengling, which was the only way for the Wu army to go north.

As for Shexian County, without reinforcements, it is not difficult to break through in ten days! ”

"Well, that's right. Zhong Yao this time, you will lead 10,000 troops and horses to guard Songkengling and block the Wu army that is going north to support, okay? ”

"The marshal has an order, and the last general will do his best to stop the Wu army from coming to aid in the future!"

With 10,000 soldiers and horses to block the tens of thousands of reinforcements of the Wu army going north, the pressure was obviously heavier than the attack on Shexian. But the more this is the case, the greater the credit will naturally be after this matter is completed. Besides, the place in Songkengling would have been an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain path, and 10,000 soldiers and horses would be enough to defend it to the death, and no matter how many soldiers and horses were added, it would not be of much use at all.

Therefore, Zhang Shihui did not hesitate to refuse, and even agreed.

"Okay, then wait until early tomorrow morning, and then follow this plan to attack She County."

"Yes, I'll take my life!"

……

"General, the Chu thieves outside the city suddenly had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the camp and went south."

"What!" Chang Yuchun, who had just come to the city wall, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and came to the battlements of the city wall in three steps and two steps, and then looked at the Chu army camp a few miles away that was almost impossible to see.

"Chu thief, this is trying to go south to Songkengling, in order to block the two generals Hu and Geng who came to support!"

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Chang Yuchun's expression couldn't help but become more worried.

Although the division of troops by the Chu army did reduce his pressure on defending the city under certain circumstances. But even so, there were still more than 30,000 Chu troops outside the city. There are so many good soldiers, and it is simply not what he can defeat now.

At this time, all his hope was that Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng could quickly lead their troops north to the source. And if Hu and Geng were stopped abroad by the Chu army like this, then Chang Yuchun really didn't know what to do!

However, as the backbone of the army, although he was nervous and worried at this time, he never dared to show this emotion in front of many subordinates.

Not only did he not even dare to show it, but he couldn't help but force a smile on his face, "Hehe, don't worry!" The two generals, Hu and Geng, are not good generals. Especially General Hu, who has never met an opponent in the northern war for me in southwest Zhejiang over the years.

This time, the thieves of the Chu army only led 10,000 soldiers and horses to block the two generals, which was really a dead end. Now that the Chu thieves have greatly reduced their soldiers and horses, as long as all the monarchs work together to defend the city, the final one will only be us! ”

......When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but be silent about it.

They are not three-year-old children, where can they be coaxed by Chang Yuchun so easily. Quzhou Road is now out of their control, and even if tens of thousands of troops from the south go north to help, they can only take a boat detour from Qiandao Lake on Jiande Road at this time.

However, the nearest road to the north of Qiandao Lake is blocked by mountains such as Sheling Ding, Guanyin Pavilion Ridge, and Xiaotian Dragon Ridge.

Although these mountains cannot be compared with the Yellow Mountain in Huizhou, it is still more than enough to block the advance of soldiers and horses.

As a result, if the tens of thousands of troops who came north to help came could only land in the west of Qiandao Lake, and then follow the northwest valley road into the official road and come from Songkengling.

Now tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Chu army have left the camp, obviously guarding Songkengling.

And a narrow road like Songkengling is difficult to do, not to mention, now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard, even if Hu and Geng command tens of thousands of elites who dare to fight. But if you want to break through the defense line of the Chu army and rush to support, how easy is it!

……

On the evening of June 28, we experienced a long and arduous trek. Hu and Geng, who were ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to lead his soldiers and horses to support Huizhou, finally came to the outside of Songkeng Ridge in Huizhou.

"Hey, tens of thousands of Chu thieves are guarding this place, and it seems that Xiuning has also been conquered by Chu thieves. Now the Chu thieves are estimated to be besieging Shexian, and there is not much time left for us, so we must quickly defeat this Chu thief and go to support General Chang Yuchunchang! ”

"But so. Otherwise, when Shexian County is broken, you and I and the tens of thousands of Chu soldiers under our command will really become turtles in the urn of Chu thieves! ”

First, they found a suitable place to set up camp, and then Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng also took a hundred horses to the vicinity of Songkengling and observed a lot.

However, it was precisely because of this observation that Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng couldn't help frowning deeply.

I have to say that the Chu army guarding here this time really hit their fate.

The area is surrounded by hills and forests on both sides, and only the middle road can be passed by large armies. But now, the Chu army blocked the exit of this road with their camps, and even on the hills on both sides of the road, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses were stationed.

If the Wu army wants to pass through here, it can only attack. But in this way, it is not equivalent to throwing yourself into the net.

Under the siege of the Chu army on three sides, they couldn't imagine how many casualties they had to pay to be able to pass here.
