Zhang Yun dismissed the ridiculous remarks of his subordinates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info: After all, this is a big war on your own soil!

It's not that Zhang Yun is very sympathetic to ordinary people, and he can't do this, for the superiors, what is the death of a few ordinary people......

But this kind of thing will definitely be written into the textbook, Zhang Yun doesn't want to be pointed at by countless people in the next tens or hundreds of years!

But after Zhang Yun dismissed his subordinates' remarks, he fell into a worried situation again, not knowing what to do.

Do you really want to attack the city of Shanghai...... Street fight with Li Hongzhang?

At this moment, Zhang Yun regretted a little, he should not only be equipped with this 155 mm caliber howitzer, if there were some other small-caliber artillery at this time, this situation would be easy to break!

So Zhang Yun decided to start the surrender plan, and let Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang go out of Shanghai County to surrender to him.

A person pondered this idea carefully, Zhang Yun felt that it was quite reliable, of course, to promote peace, war is a continuation of politics after all, if Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang are not subdued, they will not come out and surrender easily......

So next, Zhang Yun used 1.8 million troops to surround the entire Shanghai county, and this time he didn't leave any gaps to exploit loopholes for others.

The first is to use nearly 2,000 artillery pieces to blow up all the four walls of Shanghai County, and at the same time let the spies in Shanghai County and the spies of the two major spy agencies lurk in Shanghai County.

Mark the locations of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's barracks, and the second step: start shelling these two barracks, and strive to kill and injure a large number of soldiers under the two of them.

When these two steps are completed, I believe that Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang should not be able to make any waves!

Then comes the time for the third step of persuasion......

Of course, if Li Hongzhang refuses to surrender, then Zhang Yun can only fulfill his loyalty to the wild boar skin, and let him go to hell to follow in the footsteps of the wild boar skin.

By the way, let hundreds of thousands of people in Shanghai make funeral gifts for him and Zuo Zongtang, which can be regarded as worthy of them!

……

"Boom, boom......"

"Report ......"

"All four walls have been subjected to heavy shelling by the Patriotic Army, and now they have all collapsed, and the Patriotic Army will rush into the city at any time......"

Hearing the gaffe shouts of the messengers, Zuo Zongtang suddenly scolded: "What Patriotic Army? It's just a bunch of rebels and rebels! ”

Li Hongzhang persuaded Zuo Zongtang at this time, turned his head and carefully inquired about the messenger, and asked the specific situation clearly.

Li Hongzhang sat on the Taishi chair with his ass, as if he had lost all his spirit!

But what made Li Hongzhang and the others feel strange was that Zhang Yun collapsed the four walls of Shanghai County, but did not take the opportunity to attack, but continued to surround Shanghai......

Zhang Yun's behavior is not only incomprehensible to Li Hongzhang, but even Lu Yongwang and other senior generals of the army are also very incomprehensible!

Zhang Yun did not explain anything about this, but forced his troops not to attack, and only needed to call Shanghai and not run away from an enemy.

At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Yun suddenly ordered all the artillerymen to get up at once, and according to the coordinates transmitted from the city during the day, they began to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan and prepare for the shelling......

After an hour, all the artillery was ready to be in position, and the artillery had enough shells to fire for two hours of continuous fire at each gun!

It was only at this time that Zhang Yun ordered the artillery to open fire, and in the dead of night on the outskirts of Shanghai, two thousand long fireworks suddenly rose, and a moment later, the military camp of Zuo and Li was full of fire.

Because it was three or four o'clock in the morning, and the Qing Dynasty army at this time did not have any awareness and experience of anti-artillery, the effect of this artillery bombardment was only the first round of inaccurate salvo.

According to the information transmitted by the city's secret agents on the radio, the first salvo of 2,000 artillery pieces took away at least tens of thousands of lives of Zuo and Li's subordinates, which can be called a brilliant result!

Then came the artillery, under the guidance of the special agents in the city, hurriedly adjusted the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and the second round of salvo soon arrived!

The Manchu troops, who had never been bombarded so violently, were all panicked and rushed around the camp at this time under the heavy shelling of 2,000 guns plus howitzers, and this exacerbated their casualties!

According to the information sent by the city's secret service, Zhang Yun came to an astonishing conclusion, that is, after the two-hour shelling, the Manchu army was afraid that at least half of the casualties would be ......

At this time, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang were naturally awakened by the fierce cannonballs, and the two of them looked at the fireworks in the sky, and then turned their heads to look at the barracks where they were settling down.

Looking at the fire that dyed half of the sky red, and the loud noises that came from time to time, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang glanced at each other, and stood in the courtyard like this, speechless for a long time!

At dawn, the sound of the artillery bombardment of the patriotic army finally stopped, and Zuo and Li, regardless of fatigue, immediately organized people to personally lead them to the barracks, wanting to know how big the losses of last night's shelling were.

At the same time, it is also necessary to go to the barracks to organize some manpower, because fools know that when there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, Zhang Yun outside will definitely attack the city, and Zhang Yun is not a fool.

Soon arrived at their respective barracks, Li Hongzhang looked at his barracks, and wept silently......

On the contrary, after Zuo Zongtang arrived at his barracks, he jumped to his feet and directly greeted Zhang Yun's ancestors for eighteen generations.

The two of them each gathered the surviving soldiers slightly, but the result was that the two of them drank a glass of ice water like summer, and the chill was cold directly from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, this is miserable!

After returning to the county government together, Li Hongzhang looked at Zuo Zongtang and said: "There are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses left in this official, what about yours?" ”

Zuo Zongtang shook his head silently, and did not answer, but pointed to the long street behind him, Li Hongzhang raised his eyes and found that this long street was full of people, but unfortunately, there were only people at such a distance of nearly a thousand meters.

After a rough estimate in his heart, Li Hongzhang found that he and Zuo Zongtang combined did not exceed 50,000 soldiers and horses!

And looking at the frustrated and gloomy looks on the faces of this group of surviving soldiers, Li Hongzhang knew in his heart that it was impossible to let the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers fight against Zhang Yun.

Not to mention the disparity in each other's strength, the key is that they have been frightened by Zhang Yun's army, and they have completely lost their spirit!

The two of them also entered the county government with a gloomy face, and after sitting down with each other, Li Hongzhang said: "This time, Lord Zuo and this official seem to be unable to escape, and Shanghai City is our grave." ”

"Relying on these tens of thousands, the remnants of the defeated generals who have lost their spirit, this official and Lord Zuo, there will definitely be no way to break through and succeed, and then the two of us are estimated to be waiting for death!"

Zuo Zongtang was about to answer the call, and before he died, let him out with a few cruel words......

There was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the attention of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang was immediately attracted, and at the same time, a thought rose in the hearts of the two of them, could it be that these Qiu Ba wanted to go crazy again before they died?

It didn't take long for the riots outside the door to stop, and the two cronies guarding the county yamen suddenly ran into the lobby and reported: "Two adults Qiqi, there are special envoys outside who claim to be the Patriotic Army, and they are outside, ready to ask to see the two adults. ”

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang had an idea at the same time, could it be that Zhang Yun on the other side wanted to persuade him to surrender?

After the so-called envoy of the Patriotic Army came in, Li Hongzhang was about to ask the so-called envoy what Zhang Yun meant, when the so-called envoy threw Li Hongzhang a letter and said: "This letter contains all the conditions of my lord's lord, if you two need to reply to the letter after reading it, just hand over the letter to me!" ”

Li Hongzhang hurriedly opened it and saw that it was written: Immediately go out of the city and surrender unconditionally, no conditions are allowed, and Benhou will never accept any conditions from the two of you.

If you refuse, Ben Hou will immediately launch a siege war, use artillery to flatten the entire city of Shanghai, and let hundreds of thousands of people in Shanghai bury the two of you!

Of course, in this case, Fang Xiaoru of the Ming Dynasty will be the fate of the two of you, even if the two of you are loyal to your wild boar skin emperor.

Then you also have to consider the safety of your nine clans, oh, of course, not the nine clans, if you refuse, Benhou will attack the city, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries in Shanghai City!

Then Ben Hou will definitely be like Emperor Yongle who killed Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, and wipe out the ten clans of the two of you!

Tomorrow at sunrise, what will happen if you do not come out and surrender? Don't be unpredictable......

After Li Hongzhang read it, he casually handed Zhang Yun's surrender letter to Zuo Zongtang, and Zuo Zongtang was almost angry after reading it!

At the same time, he opened his mouth and scolded loudly: "Thief! How dare Ann deceive me like this? ”

Li Hongzhang was indeed a little disappreciative and said: "Of course he Zhang Yun has the courage to oppress us so much now, if we don't surrender, presumably he Zhang Yun will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Lord Zuo, don't forget, there are so many big families in the eight southern provinces, when everyone in the world thought that Zhang Yun would not use the butcher's knife, Zhang Yun killed almost all of them!"

"The thing that is in front of us now is whether to go out of the city and surrender to Zhang Yun before sunrise tomorrow."

At this moment, Zuo Zongtang was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and the answer to Li Hongzhang's words was: "This official will never surrender to the rebellious ministers and thieves, even if he slaughters the ten clans of this official, what about it?" ”

"Besides, if a person loses his loyalty and integrity, is he still a person?"
