Chapter 480: The Brilliant Battle (9)
Night finally came, and the room was dead silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The officers above the deputy marshal were all concentrated in the room, including many staff, and Ah Shu, who was the commander of the army, never spoke, and there was not much expression on his face.
The Ming army did not launch an attack all day, but the artillery bombarded three rounds, close to two hours, whether it was the sergeants stationed on the city wall, or the sergeants on standby under the city wall, and even the sergeants stationed at the north gate, west gate and east gate, were shocked by the power of the Ming artillery, and the city wall of the south gate had become full of holes.
Ah Shu finally thought of Boyan, the young man who had become the hope of the Great Yuan court like him.
At the beginning, Boyan was afraid that he would also encounter such artillery fire, and chose to commit suicide in despair.
Could it be that his Ashu is also going to encounter this end?
Self-confidence has long since begun to fade, and all that remains is a shroud of despair.
Now the Ming army's attack on the city, is no longer the concept of the past, the kind of situation that can not take the city for several months, for the Ming army may not exist, with the power of artillery, no matter how strong the city, in front of the artillery is to tremble.
Although the army did not launch an attack for a whole day, Ah Shu and the officers under his command had already felt the pressure from the sky, and it was not expected that the Ming army would definitely attack the next day.
Ah Shu thought of the Battle of Xiangyang, the Battle of Ezhou, and the Battle of Dingjiazhou, all the victories of this battle were the glory of Ashu, but such glory disappeared completely in Lianshui County, and became worthless in front of the Ming army.
Ah Shu regretted a little, he thought of the letter from his father Wuliang Hetai, thought of the reminder in the letter, it was because he didn't care about the letter from Wuliang Hetai, it was because he wanted to completely defeat the Ming army, defeat Wu Shaogang, and make greater contributions, Ah Shu chose to rush forward, in this process, he forgot Ali Hague, forgot Hedan, and even forgot the emperor and the court.
During the day, the artillery fire of the Ming army caused heavy losses, and almost all the return artillery was destroyed, and it was difficult to play a role, and the casualties of the sergeants were not particularly heavy, but the morale had suffered a fatal blow.
The battle of Jincheng has caused the army under the command of Ah Shu to suffer heavy losses, and the battle conducted during the day has dealt a devastating blow to the morale of the sergeants.
It was under the entanglement of these thoughts that Ah Shu made a decision that he couldn't even believe, he couldn't continue to wait for death in the city, and he had to rush out and fight his way out to break through.
It was also this thought that allowed Ah Shu to concentrate on the middle and senior officers in the army.
This time it's not about deliberating, it's about making decisions and making arrangements.
Looking up at everyone, Ah Shu spoke expressionlessly.
"The Ming Japanese marshal is ready to arrange a special person to negotiate in the barracks of the Ming army, the object of negotiation is the people of the Great Song royal family, the marshal is willing to hand over these people of the Great Song royal family, but the Ming army must get out of the way, so that our army can leave safely, if the Ming army does not agree to our conditions, then we will unceremoniously do it, kill the people of the Great Song royal family, and let Wu Shaogang carry this black cauldron. . . ."
No one was surprised, perhaps this kind of negotiation is the best buffer for the army, if the army can leave Lianshui County, leave Haizhou, and return to Lianghuai, it is not a good thing.
However, at this time, everyone was very sober, thinking about exchanging the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family for the retreat of more than 100,000 people from the southern army, which was wishful thinking, and Wu Shaogang was afraid that he would not agree.
But this is also a way to do it, and under the current circumstances, I am afraid that I can't think of a better way.
No one answered, and Ah Shu didn't bother to let people speak, so he continued.
"Tomorrow, please Mr. Lu Wende on behalf of the commander, negotiate with the Ming army, Mr. Lu is familiar with the Ming army, and the commander of the Ming army, Wu Shaogang, is even more acquainted, presumably this relationship will make the negotiation much smoother. . . ."
The surroundings were even quieter, no one thought that Ah Shu would make such an arrangement, such a major matter, and actually let the surrendered Lu Wende go, if Lu Wende chose to surrender again, wouldn't all the arrangements be wasted.
Lu Wende's face turned even pale, his body trembled, he never imagined that this matter would fall on his head.
It is impossible to excuse himself, Lu Wende is not qualified to speak at all, he is still thinking about Lu Wenhuan's encounter during the day, and in less than a day, such an encounter fell on his head.
That's what happens to the relegators.
Even if there are 10,000 regretful thoughts, it is useless at the moment.
"Okay, all of you go and prepare, appease the sergeants well, and tell them that Ben Shuai will definitely find a way to let them get out of here and return to Dadu."
And the people dispersed.
Lu Wende walked out of the room abruptly, and even forgot to go towards his room.
The winter night was very cold, but unfortunately Lu Wende couldn't feel it, he was walking aimlessly on the street, and the sergeants on patrol were ready to come forward to ask from time to time, but fortunately, Lu Wende had Ah Shu's personal guards by his side, and waved his hand to stop these sergeants who were ready to ask.
At such a critical moment, of course, Ah Shu will send his personal guards to watch over Lu Wende, if Lu Wende has an accident, then all of Ah Shu's arrangements will really fail.
By then, the city was so quiet that even a slight snoring could be heard.
Officers above the rank of marshal in the army were secretly notified by the guards to come to the wing of the county office.
Outside the county office, there are guards who are strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach, and the guards who can enter the county government are all jade plates issued by Ashu.
When these marshals entered the wing room, they looked a little dazed, but two hours ago, the marshal had already made arrangements, let them come at this time, what would happen, could it be that there was a major change in the marshal's arrangement, and they needed to implement it immediately.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ah Shu entered the wing.
At this moment, Ah Shu's face was solemn, completely different from two hours ago.
After sweeping through the crowd, Ah Shu slowly spoke.
"The next arrangement that Ben Shuai will make is related to your life, please listen carefully, everything this Shuai is going to say, there must not be a word leak, otherwise no matter what your identity is, Ben Shuai will take your life."
The surroundings suddenly became tense, and the faces of these marshals turned a little pale, they didn't understand what the marshal meant, and why the words he said were so serious and ruthless.
Ah Shu slowly stood up, looked at everyone, and spoke word by word.
"Tomorrow, Lu Wende will go out of the city to negotiate in the camp of the Ming army on behalf of Ben Shuai, but it is just a cover arranged by Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai knows that such negotiations have no effect, Wu Shaogang will never agree, the people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family, for Wu Shaogang, there is no role, he wishes that we would kill these people of the Great Song Dynasty."
Marshal Youdu nodded slightly, in fact, they also thought of this.
"Tomorrow at two o'clock, that is, the time for the army to move, this commander has decided, lead the army to break through the siege, fight a bloody road, no matter how much we lose, as long as we can break through the encirclement of the Ming army, return to Lianghuai, we are victorious."
"Lu Wende went to the camp of the Ming army to negotiate, the purpose was to distract the attention of the Ming army, Wu Shaogang would never have imagined that the marshal would take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate and organize the army to break through...
The room was quieter, and at such a critical moment, no one would speak.
"Ben Shuai knows what you are worried about, most of the sergeants of the Zhengnan army are foot soldiers, in the face of the cavalry of the Ming army, the loss of forcibly breaking through must be heavy, but Ben Shuai has no other choice, this is the only way that can be taken, this Shuai believes that the sergeants who can break out of the encirclement of the Ming army are the real elite soldiers, leaving these elite soldiers, that is, preserving the Zhengnan army."
"As for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it will depend on their luck tomorrow, arrange them to break through at the end, if they can break through, it is best, if not, then leave them to Wu Shaogang to deal with, Ben Shuai just got rid of this burden."
"You are all the most trusted people in this handsome, break through this matter, Benshuai will ask you, if there is anything unclear, you can ask, once you get out of this room, you have to start organizing overnight...
After Ah Shu finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Similarly, no one spoke, what the marshal said was already very clear, and there was no need to ask too much, as for the arrangement of the specific matters of the breakthrough, after everyone had no problems, Ah Shu would naturally make arrangements.
One thing is clear to everyone, it may not only be the people of the Great Song royal family who are abandoned, but also Lu Wende.
It is conceivable that Lu Wende, who is still negotiating in the camp of the Ming army, will encounter what kind of punishment he will encounter when the army begins to break through.
No one asked, and Ah Shu began to make detailed arrangements...
Lu Wende, who returned to the room, finally sobered up, and he suddenly realized that he went to the Ming army camp to negotiate, what should he say, what are the specific conditions, could it be as simple as a few words said by Ah Shu, and then go to the Ming army barracks to negotiate, the most commander-in-chief Ah Shu needs at least a piece of paper to show his sincerity.
After pacing back and forth in the room for a long time, Lu Wende gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, preparing to go to the county office, anyway, he needed to see Ah Shu and ask for details.
The area around the county government is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter.
Lu Wende was closed, and he was not able to enter the county office, let alone see Ashu.
When he walked back, Lu Wende looked back at the swarthy county office, he suddenly thought of something, found a dark corner, covered his figure, and waited silently.
After more than half an hour, Lu Wende, whose body was already a little frozen, finally found that the door of the county government was opened, and several marshals came out of the county office and hurried towards the barracks.
Lu Wende didn't dare to come out and watched all this.
