Chapter 110: Heroes
Lord, just let him go down to the city to surrender, and there is no need to take risks......" There is a humane among the generals and soldiers.
Chen Xu shook his head and resolutely refused, "How can Gong Liu be such a despicable person. ”
Now that the general trend has been decided, the defeat of the Southern Tang Army is obvious, even if Chen Xu is eliminated, it will not be able to turn the tide of the war, but will anger the Wei army, and the situation will get out of control, Liu Renzhan is not an unwise person, and he will not do such a demented thing.
Surrounded by the left and right of the generals and soldiers, Chen Xu slowly ascended the city tower along the bluestone stairs.
At this moment, Liu Renzhan, the commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was looking outside the city.
I saw that outside the city, there was a sea of horses, flags like clouds, shaking the sky and the earth, and the Wei army was cheering, and the joy was all overflowing! People from all directions are like floods, pouring towards Shouzhou City, and there is a sense of déjà vu that can break down this city in an instant!
"Liu Gong." Chen Xu said.
"Chen Dashuai, I've heard of you, a young hero who became famous in Gao Ping's first battle!" Liu Renzhan calmly glanced at the outside of the city, turned back to Chen Xu and said, "I didn't expect you to be so young, the Wei Dynasty is full of talents!" ”
"Don't dare to be. Liu Gong's courage also makes me admire it very much! Chen Xu snorted. remembered that a few days ago, Liu Renzhan ordered the Southern Tang army to go out of the city to attack the Wei army camp. If it weren't for Chen Xu's early vigilance, and coincidentally chose Chen Xu's department as the target of attack, and replaced others such as Li Wenzhao, they would definitely be at a loss and return defeated. Who would have thought that the Southern Tang side, which had been hiding in the city and resisting the siege of the Wei army, would dare to go out of the city to attack the Wei army, which was famous for its bravery in the field!
"Haha." Liu Renzhan laughed, and a few cloudy tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes. No matter how bold you are, defeat is defeat!
"Chen Dashuai used a new type of stone thrower?" Liu Renzhan pointed to a gap that had been broken by the enhanced stone thrower, and said suddenly. More than 10 giant stone throwers stand on the soil slope at the west city gate, which is very eye-catching.
"It is precisely built day and night by the skilled craftsmen who have been transferred to the lower level, and improved on the basis of the original stone throwing machine." Chen Xu explained, "Liu Gong guarded Shouzhou tightly, and there was really no good way to go down, so he could only work siege equipment, but fortunately there were some achievements." ”
"If you lose, you lose, if the old man arranges this gap in advance, the victory or defeat is unknown......" Liu Renzhan looked at the Huainan land below, and at this time, people running around in Wei army costumes sighed leisurely.
Although he was defeated, he did not have the slightest sign of defeat and despair. Chen Xu couldn't help but praise.
"This is also the first time that this stone thrower has been launched, and it is a surprising success!" Chen Xu said. What Liu Renzhan said is not impossible, if it is arranged early in the city, judging from the fighting will of the Southern Tang Army just now, it is indeed very difficult for the Wei army to really want to completely defeat it, Shouzhou City is so big, if the Southern Tang Army attacks everywhere in the city, the result is ......
"As soon as Shouzhou is broken, the middle of the Huainan battlefield will be opened, and our army will be worried!" Liu Renzhan seemed to feel a lot, and said a little, "I hope that after our army surrenders, Chen Dashuai will keep his promise, treat the defenders and innocent people in the city well, don't be angry with them, and kill me Liu Renzhan if you want to!" ”
Since ancient times, if the siege war has not lasted for a long time, after the city is breached, in order to vent its anger, the besieging party will kill and slaughter the city in order to calm the boiling murderous spirit and resentment. But Chen Xu would never allow this to happen, whether it was for a trace of kindness in his heart, or for the sake of making it easier to conquer the cities of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future. Great Wei and Southern Tang were born from the same root, so why do such a cool thing that hurts for a long time.
"To be honest, the old man admires you a lot." Liu Renzhan said suddenly.
"Please also ask Liu Gong for advice." Chen Xu said with interest.
"Just on this finger battlefield, Chen Dashuai predicted in advance that I would go out of the city to attack, anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and arrange in advance, resulting in a great defeat for our army, which is very rare." Liu Renzhan paused, "Moreover, if you break through Shouzhou City today, you can also see your extraordinary, the old man is also very familiar with the siege equipment, and the power has not been greatly moved in the past few decades, but after you came to Shouzhou, the power of the stone throwing machine can improve by leaps and bounds in just a few days, I think there must be your credit." ”
I have to say that Liu Renzhan is indeed very subtle.
"Liu Gong is aware of everything, and he will admire it." Chen Xu told the truth.
Chen Xu's greatest contribution to it is probably the "Leverage Principle" that is accurate to the formula. Everyone in the world knows Archimedes' famous saying, "Give me a fulcrum, I can pry the whole earth", but they don't know that as early as Archimedes' two hundred years ago, in the ancient East, China's book "Mozi" specifically recorded the principle of leverage. But the ancient theoretical records may not be so systematic and perfect compared to modern times, and the average craftsman will look at the more obscure Zhuzi Doctrine, and in the end it is Chen Xu who has the greatest credit, haha. (Note: Please do not go into detail there)
"In hindsight, it's not worth a beat." Liu Renzhan laughed at himself slightly, "The old man didn't blame Chen Dashuai, in the troubled world, each is his own master, no one is wrong!" ”
"It's just that the old man has received the emperor's grace, and today he lost the city, I am the guard, and the first sin lies with me, and I should apologize with death!" Suddenly, Liu Renzhan actually pulled out the saber from the sheath and was about to kill himself!
"The Lord will seek death, and the soldiers on the left and right will not step forward to stop it!" Chen Xu shouted loudly, he and Liu Renzhan were still not close.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the left and right waited for Liu Renzhan to be left and right, not far away, and his arms were supported on the left and right, which prevented him from killing himself.
"Why did Gong Liu bother to kill himself?" Chen Xu said.
"No matter what, I am a Tang general, I will never surrender if I receive the emperor's favor, the crime of breaking the city is mine, I have no shame to see the emperor and the people of the Tang Dynasty again, since this is the case, I can only apologize with death!" Liu Renzhan said resolutely.
How could Chen Xu let him die, not to mention that there was no grudge between the two, and besides, it was better to capture the famous generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty alive than to take down the dead ones. In addition, there is another point, Chen Xu is reluctant to see this virtuous general die in front of him, perhaps for a little heroic plot in his heart, since he was a child, he has admired the national heroes in history such as Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, Qi Jiguang, and Zheng Chenggong who are loyal to the country.
This last point may be more important than the first two reasons.
For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has been flowing continuously, isn't it thousands of people with backbone and integrity, saving the building from the future, saving the nation from fire and water, going forward and succeeding, saving the survival of the world, and getting today!
Liu Renzhan has this kind of integrity, and Chen Xu, who is his enemy, also admires it!
"I don't think so, I admit that Liu Gong said, 'each is his master, no one is wrong', but my Great Wei is not a foreign invasion, what I seek is the unification of the world. In ancient times, Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, and now the Great Wei is the strongest among all countries, so it is natural to shoulder this great responsibility and end the chaotic decades of troubled times, which is the great righteousness! In this great world, as a military general, doesn't Liu Gong want to participate? ”
"What Chen Dashuai said is reasonable, but the old man has his own beliefs." Liu Renzhan shook his head and insisted.
Chen Xu was inexplicably a little irritable, and felt that Liu Renzhan was a little pedantic, this is not a foreign race, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this kind of perseverance a rare and valuable quality?
Chen Xu couldn't say anything more, so he had to order someone to escort him down and let him think about it slowly, and he couldn't rush for a while.
