Chapter 82 Shunguo Loyalty
All parties were even, and Shi Lang once again pressed the Yingcheng that made him angry.
Now he figured it out that the guards in the city fled at the beginning, and it was the city guard Bai Hong who led the troops to resist desperately, this Bai Hong was a scribe, because the officials were honest and honest, and they loved the people of Yingcheng like a son.
There's nothing to talk about, because Yingcheng is just on the way back to the division, so Shi Lang transferred more than 20,000 people here, plus the 3,000 people who guarded here before, the total number of people is more than 25,000, although Yingcheng is a big city, but the total number of defenders is only about 1,000 people, and some losses were lost in the previous period, and now it is less than 700, even if the whole city is in battle, it can't withstand the attack of so many elite soldiers.
Shi Lang ordered to besiege the city on three sides, and spread a message to the city, if the city was not surrendered before dark, those who participated in the city defense would be killed, and those who wanted to survive could leave from the south gate now, and Yi Jun promised not to blame him for the past.
After the letter was sent in, Shi Lang ordered the army to beat the drums, and the earth-shaking drums made the soldiers and civilians in the city tremble, and the soldiers and people at the head of the city were already cold when they saw the black pressure of the Yi army outside, and all kinds of siege equipment were constantly pushed to the front of the battle, and no matter how strong the heart was, there was only despair.
Killing chickens with knives, what Shi Lang wants is this momentum, this time he set a principle for himself, since his own troops are superior, he will never fight hard if he can scare the enemy away with momentum, he knows that He Ran has given himself the elite of the whole country, these soldiers are the condensation of military divisions and Fengwang for several years, if there are too many injuries, even if you get a subject country, it will not be worth the loss.
The drums of war ceased from noon to dusk, and when the drums gradually turned urgent, the south gate still did not open. Shi Lang walked slowly to the front of the formation, his heart was really on fire, he ordered the drum to be stopped, and then called the generals of all sides to strictly order them to be sure to drum down when attacking the city for a while. At the same time, the point will send troops to surround the south gate as soon as the night falls, since the other party is not interested, then it is necessary to play the military might of the Yi ** team, and those who dare to resist will not be spared!
The pre-war silence was more tense and frightening than the rumbling drums, and the murderous aura that permeated the four wilds in the bleak autumn wind tightly enveloped Yingcheng, and the grim reaper was in the air, and the night seemed to fall faster.
When Shi Lang was about to return to the tent, he saw that the lights on the city were suddenly bright, and everyone appeared in the city tower surrounded by a white-clothed scribe.
"Under the city, it's Shi Lang Shi Junshi?" The white-robed scribe asked in a loud voice.
Shi Lang took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Exactly!" ”
The white-clothed scribe bowed slightly and said: "In Xia Baihong, thank you to the military advisor for staying at the south gate, and the military advisor is benevolent and virtuous Bai Hong has thanked the people of Yingcheng on behalf of him." ”
"But Lord Bai didn't let the people flee for their lives from the south gate, wasting my kindness, do you want the people to die with you? Lord Bai has always had the reputation of loving the people like a son, why did he ignore the people's livelihood and death at the last moment? You look around at me, Yi Guoxiongshi, can you hold this city? Why bother to let Yingcheng suffer from the fire of the army? ”
"The bravery of the soldiers under the command of the military advisor has been taught below, and I already know in my heart that this Yingcheng is difficult to defend alone, and there is no delusion at this moment."
"Lord Bai has figured it out that he wants to conform to the will of heaven?" Shi Lang took a few more steps forward.
"Bai Hong's family has been blessed by the king, and even though they are in the realm of death, they will never be a minister who betrays the lord, and they will repay the country with their deaths!"
Shi Lang nodded and said: "Lord Bai's loyalty is admired by Shi Lang, then there is no need to say more, it's a pity that the lives of these hundreds of soldiers in the city, you go and prepare well, I will order the siege of the city in half an hour." Then he turned and walked towards the big tent.
"Strategist, please stay!" Bai Hong called out loudly.
Shi Lang turned around and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”
"The military advisor is the enemy of my obedient people, and he still misses the suffering of the people in the city, how can Bai Hongnai dare to rule the lives of the people lightly? Now the general situation is irreversible, Bai Hong should repay the country with death, I don't know if the military division can let go of the soldiers in this city, they were all under my strict orders to disobey the army before, if the military division can agree not to pursue it, Bai Hong immediately ordered someone to open the city. ”
Shi Lang smiled and raised his voice: "My Yi army is a benevolent and righteous army, and those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be slaughtered, don't worry, what Shi Lang said in front of the two armies must count." ”
"Thank you so much!" Bai Hong said that he bowed and saluted, and jumped from the city before his body was completely straightened.
His action was so sudden that people on both sides didn't expect it, and they watched him fall in the air and then fall heavily to the ground, and then the city remembered a terrible cry, and soon four or five people jumped down the tower and followed. This magnificent scene deeply shocked the soldiers of Yi Jun and let out a sigh.
Shi Lang ordered the burial of these people, Yingcheng vested, the battle abroad ended successfully, Yi Jun took a little rest and then returned to the court, considering that Xiangguo Gong's foothold was not stable, Yi Guo left 10,000 soldiers to help him guard the defense line of the Rolling Dragon River.
Returning to Muhu City, Shi Lang reported the battle to King Feng in detail and returned the soldiers and horses transferred from here.
Xiao Xiao praised him from the bottom of his heart, and then took out the military order sent by He Ran, and Shi Lang sent all troops and horses to garrison in various places according to the order.
After the arrangement was completed, Shi Lang said to Xiao Xiao: "Chen Min is scheduled to establish the country on October 25, and the country name will be Xiang, and the envoys will come to welcome the king to watch the ceremony." ”
Xiao Xiao shook his head at first, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it then, you are a great benefactor who raised him single-handedly, why does he want to invite you too, right?" ”
Shi Lang smiled and said: "He originally wanted me to stay until after the founding of the country, hehe, I refused on the grounds that I needed to return to the king immediately, and if I wanted to go, I had to go with the king and the military division, and the whole plan was made by the king and the military division, I was just working hard for a while, but I couldn't stand him treating him with the grace of the founding of the country." ”
"You don't have to be too modest, this expedition not only won cleanly and suffered little damage, I think it is difficult for He Ran to lead the troops to have such a record, hmph, he is so lazy, it is strange that he can come to participate in Chen Min's founding ceremony." Xiao Xiao pouted at the end.
Shi Lang pondered for a moment and said: "Is Wang Jia writing a letter to the military advisor, even if he doesn't want to come, ask him to convince the king that Xiangguo will be our subject country in the future, and the king will have to come on the day of the founding of the country." He knew very well what kind of virtue these two monarchs and ministers were, and he didn't dare to have any hope for He Ran, and he might be happy to do it if he encouraged him to run the king.
Xiao Xiao understood Shi Lang's thoughts, snorted, and said, "You go back and tell him that, just say what I mean." ”
Shi Lang received the order, and after a few days, all the men and horses were ordered to go, and he led a group of men and horses to return to Bell City.
Su Pingjiang led his ministers to greet him outside the city, and the people of the Quartet were glad to hear that Yi Guo had all the subjects of the country so soon to high-five and celebrate, and they competed for the demeanor of the triumphant division in the road outside the bell city.
