Duan Wencao attacked the city, attacked in a big way, and pressed on the whole line, with momentum like a rainbow.
Han Jinluo and the other four heroes commanded the post to defend desperately, and the two sides fought very fiercely, with many casualties.
Shuai Rentai found Xu Shiren and asked him to hurry up and write a paragraph of Wencao, pretending to make an appointment to dedicate the city, trying to use this strategy to delay the attack rhythm of the official army and give the righteous army more time to hold on.
"Duan Wencao won't be tricked." Xu Shiren had already seen the clues from the attack of the official army, and was worried about it, once the city was broken, his betrayal of Duan Wencao was very likely to be exposed, and it was a trivial matter that his head could not be saved, and it was a major matter to affect his relatives and family, "Duan Wencao may have sensed the danger, so he changed his original intention and launched a fierce attack. β
"This may be a gesture made by Duan Wencao, to exert heavy pressure on a certain person with an attack, and to hit the morale of our righteous army with an attack, so as to force a certain person to surrender the city." Shuai Rentai calmly analyzed, "Our righteous army suffered heavy casualties under his fierce attack, and the army's morale was in turmoil, which was just the best opportunity for him to capture the city." β
"In that case, what is the purpose of your appointment with him to dedicate the city?" Xu Shiren sneered, "Even if you promise him to sacrifice the city tonight, he will still attack." β
"Attacking for one day and attacking for several days in a row are completely different things." Shuai Rentai held the hilt of the knife in his hand and said murderously, "Things have come to this point, and you still have illusions about Duan Wencao?" Do you think you have a way out? β
Xu Shiren glared angrily, eager to draw his sword and face him, but after all, he was a person from the Shen Mansion, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, forcing himself to calm down, "You can only deceive him once, there can be no second time." This time he believed you and stopped attacking, but what about next time? What do you do when he strikes a second onslaught, and he attacks fiercely for days on end? Can you still deceive him? β
Shuai Rentai hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know where Bai Shuai is now?" β
"He's already in Langya County." Xu Shiren blurted out, but when he saw the weird smile on Shuai Rentai's face, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked in surprise, "Bai Shuai didn't withdraw to Mengshan?" β
"Of course, there was no withdrawal to Mengshan."
"How did that passage determine that he withdrew to Mengshan?"
Duan Wencao was very concerned about the front line of Surabaya, and sent a large number of scouts to keep an eye on it day and night. Bai Shuai only needs to order Mr. Chen San, who stayed in Mengshan, to set up a suspicious plan, find some old and weak women and children to put on military uniforms, and run back and forth on both sides of Surabaya twice in the night. β
Xu Shiren suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Where is Bai Shuai now?" β
Shuai Rentai laughed, triumphant, "Bai Shuai went to Rencheng." β
Ren Cheng? Bai Shuai arrived in Rencheng? How did he get to Rencheng? What was the purpose of his arrival in Rencheng? Xu Shiren's home is in Rencheng, he knows Rencheng well, and the first thing he thinks of is Rencheng's wealth. Rencheng is rich, the warehouse is full, and the private warehouse of the rich family is far more than the official warehouse. Bai Shuai Li Fengyun quietly killed Rencheng, of course, to meet Meng Haigong and Han Yao, gather the strength of the three-way righteous army, and want to capture Rencheng. Meng Haigong and Han Yao had been attacking Rencheng before, but because of the lack of strength, the siege was too difficult, the thunder was loud, and the rain was small, which did not pose a substantial threat to Rencheng, and the defenders of Rencheng would inevitably be paralyzed and lose their vigilance. At this moment, Li Fengyun quietly killed the Cangtou army, and the enemy was unprepared to attack the enemy, and the result can be imagined.
Xu Shiren suddenly jumped up and shouted at Shuai Rentai, "Rencheng has fallen? β
Shuai Rentai didn't answer, but pointed out of the house, "Listen, listen to the thunderous war drums, listen to the deafening killing sound of the soldiers, what can you feel from it?" Morale, high morale. β
"Rencheng has fallen?" Xu Shiren is anxious, if the city falls, it will be the nobles and bureaucrats in the city who will be the brunt of it, and those who have nothing will kill the soldiers of the righteous army once they are red-eyed, they will be as bloody and brutal as a beast in the wilderness, very terrifying, it can be said that they kill gods when they meet gods, and kill Buddhas when they meet Buddhas, no one can stop them, especially the white handsome Li Fengyun and his cangtou army, which are even more notorious.
"You sue SΓΉ, has Rencheng fallen?" Xu Shiren cared about the life and death of his family and the survival of his family, so he was confused for a while, grabbed Shuai Rentai's arm, and yelled, "Sue sΓΉ!" β
Shuai Rentai seemed to be sincere and couldn't get along with him, but he didn't say the answer, and still pointed outside the house, "Look at Duan Wencao, he has been surrounding Ningyang City for a long time, he is not impatient, he just doesn't attack, but today he is unusual, and the overseers are attacking, why?" Is it really just to put pressure on someone, to inflict a heavy blow on us, to break our morale? β
Ren Cheng fell. Xu Shiren had already guessed the result, and sat down depressed, extremely depressed. Bai Li Fengyun was too powerful, and in a very passive situation, he quietly gave Duan Wencao a fatal blow, and Duan Wencao was too careless, thinking that he would win the game, and even made a faint move, but he made a big mistake. If Duan Wencao can't get up, if he can't reverse the tide of the battle, the consequences will be catastrophic for him, and it will be unbearable pain for the entire Qilu region and the Qilu people.
"I am in a hurry to write a paragraph and make an appointment with him to dedicate the city." Xu Shiren surrendered, and he didn't dare to leave anything to chance. The nest has been served to the rebels, and the lives of more than 100 members of the family are controlled by Bai Shuai, if you don't throw yourself to the side of the rebels and cooperate with the rebels, the consequences will be too terrible.
Duan Wencao received Xu Shiren's secret letter, his depressed mood was relieved, and he immediately ordered to stop the attack.
Niu Jinda, who was commanding at the front, hurried back to Shuai's tent. Duan Wencao knew that Niu Jinda was unwilling to stop attacking, so without waiting for Niu Jinda to speak, he took the lead and said, "With the result, Shuai Rentai promised to open the city gate at midnight tomorrow." β
Niu Jinda was in a heavy mood, and the ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger, and this bad feeling was not because of the fall of Ren Cheng, but because Duan Wencao's decision-making was getting more and more out of the normal trajectory.
Duan Wencao has changed, since his brother Duan Wenzhen died of illness, after the powerful backer collapsed, his psychology has undergone drastic changes, the self-confidence and arrogance of the past suddenly disappeared, and all that remains is indecision and forward-looking, maybe he himself did not feel this obvious change, but Niu Jinda, who had followed him for many years, could see it clearly.
It's just that Niu Jinda is powerless to persuade, he understands Duan Wencao's difficult situation, and he is also at a loss if he is in Duan Wencao's position. After Duan Wencao lost Duan Wenzhen's backer, he directly faced the front and back attacks of the Guanlong people and the Jiangzuo people, and he was struggling, unable to ensure that the interests of the Qilu people were not lost while ensuring the Eastern Crusade, and he still wanted to take care of both in this extremely difficult situation, and he had both fish and bear's paws, and he did not have the courage and courage of a strong man to break his arm, and the result was a wrong step, and now it is out of control.
"Envoy, Rencheng has fallen." Niu Jinda cautiously reminded.
Duan Wencao understood what Niu Jinda meant. Rencheng fell, and all the nobles, bureaucrats, and wealthy people in Rencheng fell into the hands of the thief army, including Rencheng Xu's family, including Xu Shiren's relatives and family.
Rencheng is only a few dozen miles away from Ningyang, and the west city of Ningyang is close to the Zhushui River, and the river is connected with the moat, so the officials and soldiers have no way to isolate Ningyang City from the outside. If nothing else, the white thief has already sent the news of the capture of Rencheng to Ningyang, and whether Xu Shiren's identity is exposed or not, he has to face the fact that his family is held hostage by the white thief, in other words, Xu Shiren is no longer credible.
Shuai Rentai is even more unbelievable, if the white thief did not capture Rencheng, Shuai Rentai's hope of survival is slim, but there is a possibility of surrender, but now that the battle situation has changed, Shuai Rentai's hope of survival has greatly increased, how can he surrender? And the surrender of this Shuai Rentai may have been a conspiracy of white thieves from the beginning. The false news of the white thief's evacuation of Lu County came from Shuai Rentai, which directly misled Duan Wencao and made Duan Wencao make a wrong judgment. From this, it is further inferred that the white thief may have already recognized Xu Shiren's true identity, but he deliberately used it and never broke it.
If these speculations are true, then the surrender of the city is a treacherous plan against the officials and soldiers. Since it was a treacherous plan, of course Niu Jinda wanted to stop Duan Wencao from jumping in.
Duan Wencao frowned slightly, "As you said, we can only reverse the situation by capturing Ningyang as quickly as possible and annihilating the thief army in the city, but you have also seen the strong attack today, the thieves in the city are high, and our losses are too great, if we continue to storm onslaught, it is estimated that we will lose our attack power before we capture the city." Duan Wencao looked at Niu Jinda and sighed in a low voice, "You say, how can we capture Ningyang?" β
Niu Jinda frowned slightly, "Do you want to plan it?" β
Duan Wencao was silent.
"The strength of the thieves in the city is limited, and it is already difficult to defend the city, how dare you open the city gate?"
Niu Jinda had a negative attitude, in his view, Duan Wencao still wanted to preserve his strength, or lacked self-confidence and courage, and did not dare to attack with the determination to burn jade, but Niu Jinda firmly believed that as long as he attacked with all his strength, with the strength of the Lu army, he would be able to take Ningyang and reverse the situation of the battle in one fell swoop.
Duan Wencao stroked his beard and pondered, and suddenly asked, "You say, how will the white thief fight next?" β
"It must be to storm the front line of Zou Cheng and Pingyang, and strive to sweep the southern part of Lu County in the shortest possible time, further endanger the situation in southern Lu, and force the envoy to a precarious situation." Niu Jinda said without hesitation, "It is impossible for Xiao Hao to fight hard with the thief army, and it is impossible for him to lose his strength in order to make the king, so in the face of the onslaught of the white thief, he must retreat to Pengcheng in a hurry." β
Duan Wencao nodded, and asked again, "What did the thieves in Ningyang City think after they learned that the white thieves had captured Rencheng?" β
Niu Jinda's eyes lit up, "Han Jinluo's thieves must have thought that the mission of the bait has ended, and the white thieves should join forces with Meng Haigong and Han Yao to kill Ningyang and rescue them from a desperate situation, but the white thieves still ask Han Jinluo thieves to continue to hold on to Ningyang City, continue to act as bait, and continue to drag the envoy under the city." β
Niu Jinda had to admire the white thief's strategy, the plan, and the good means. The white thief's scheming was too deep, no wonder he stormed Ningyang City at any cost, it turned out that this was the "bait" he needed, this "bait" not only lured Han Jinluo into the thieves, but also lured Duan Wencao and Lu Jun in, and then the enemy and I who were deeply trapped in the bait fought each other and consumed each other, but the white thief took this opportunity to sweep the battlefield on the southern front of Lu County, loot grain, and show his strength. It is foreseeable that after a while, when Duan Wencao and Han Jinluo's thieves were defeated, that is, when the white thieves led the army to Ningyang City. And at that moment, Duan Wencao could only throw down Ningyang and flee from the flawed hill, as for Han Jinluo's thieves, they were already dying, and they could only let the white thieves devour them all.
"You finally get it." Duan Wencao said with a smile, "For the thieves of Han Jinluo, the battle of Ningyang, whether it is won or defeated, it is all a defeat in the end. If they, like you, saw through the white thief's tricks, would they still stick to Ningyang City? β
