Read x;?Give you two days to lead the craftsmen who accompany the army craftsmen to immediately supervise the construction of various siege equipment and prepare for the storming of Bazhou! Make no mistake! If the enemy refuses to surrender, then it is not too late for you to lead your army to storm Bazhou!

Zheng Bingjie immediately received the order: The last general will obey the order! No delay!

Fei Wenlong!

The end will be! Fei Wenlong also hurried out to receive the order. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

This official gives you a general order, you lead the archers under your command, find the scribes in the army, write more letters of persuasion, order the archers to shoot into the city, appease those rebels who are forced to rebel, and make them quickly anyway, as long as they surrender to the court, those who open the gate of Bazhou will be rewarded with a hundred dollars, and they will not be blamed for the past!

Those who are willing to surrender can be treated leniently as long as they lay down their arms to resist, and those who can capture or kill the rebel Zhang Tong can be rewarded heavily! Gao Huaiyuan immediately instructed Fei Wenlong.

The rest of the generals, each of them also had a job, divided their troops to guard the main roads of Bazhou, one was to prevent the rebels from breaking through, and the other was to prevent the rebel reinforcements from coming to help, in short, they quickly cut off the connection between Bazhou City and the outside world, and even the fishing boats on the nearby river were all collected along the river, preparing to attack the water gate and wharf of Bazhou City by water when necessary.

That night, the officers and soldiers made a big noise outside the city, and the war drums sounded from time to time, but they were often lively, but the officers and soldiers did not attack, but used archers to constantly fire arrows into the city, and the rebels in the city were all panicked and at a loss.

Zhang Tong sat in the city in the palace, a little angry, he didn't expect that he had not been smooth for many days, the situation took a sharp turn, came such a group of elite officers and soldiers, trapped him in the city of Bazhou, now he did not dare to move, he did not think about breaking through, but he is now newly defeated, the morale of the army is low, and because he has burned and looted during this time, has aroused public anger in the Lizhou area, if he leads the army to break through at this time, he may not be allowed to be attacked by the Song army, A large number of officers and soldiers will immediately defect and surrender, and even if they do not surrender, they will immediately disperse.

So before the Song army arrived in Bazhou, he sent his cronies to go straight to Dazhou and Pengzhou out of Bazhou, so that the brothers who were guarding Dazhou led the army to aid him, and at the same time ordered his subordinates stationed in Pengzhou to also mobilize troops and horses to come to Bazhou to fight to the death with the Song army.

This guy can see that the Song army's strength this time is not too much, just more elite, at the moment he still has seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, plus Dazhou and Pengzhou soldiers and horses, can still get together nearly 20,000 people, when the reinforcements from the two states arrive, they will attack inside and outside, relying on the advantage of numbers, maybe they can turn defeat into victory, so now he made up his mind to first defend in Bazhou, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

was thinking about how to retreat from the enemy, and suddenly a cronie hurriedly broke in, handed a piece of paper to Zhang Tong's hand, and said to Zhang Tong: General Qiqi, after the Song army entered the night, it made a lot of noise outside the city, and kept throwing arrows into the city.

Zhang Tong is different from Liang Tietou, this guy is literate, so he immediately started to watch, if he didn't look at it, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat.

This piece of paper is a letter of persuasion to the rebel generals in the city, the letter is clearly written, asking the rebel soldiers in the city to lay down their arms and give up resistance, the officials and soldiers come to suppress this time, only punish the evildoers, as long as they lay down their weapons, they will not blame the past, and send them back to their hometowns, and also encourage the rebel soldiers to take the initiative to open the city gates, let the officers and soldiers enter the city, and hang out a huge amount of money to buy his Zhang Tong's head.

After seeing it, Zhang Tong was taken aback, the officers and soldiers were fighting a heart-to-heart war, just to let their rebels mess up their own positions first, if this was the case, once his soldiers would mutiny, then his life would be lost.

Go down quickly, check these letters of persuasion, and once you find that someone dares to secretly hide and circulate them, you will immediately correct the Fa on the spot! Also, let Liu Laosi go to guard the south gate, Fan Qing go to guard the water gate and wharf, Jiao Meng guard the west gate, be optimistic about the granary in the city, and pass the order, no one is allowed to act without permission, without my order, if anyone wanders around in the city, they will cut me immediately! Zhang Tong hurriedly issued a series of orders.

Then he personally led dozens of his cronies to inspect the defenses around the city, urging his subordinates to transport all kinds of imperial guards to the city walls.

After some investigation, Zhang Tong killed dozens of soldiers who secretly hid and persuaded him to surrender, which shocked the generals under his command and suppressed the commotion in the army, but when he did so, he lost the hearts of the people even more, making many of his soldiers grit their teeth with hatred.

However, the Song army still kept firing arrows into the city, shooting letters of persuasion into the city, because the number was very large, although Zhang Tong strictly ordered a ban, but there were still many rebel generals who learned the content of the letter of persuasion.

In order to control his subordinates, Zhang Tong came up with a way to implement the method of joint sitting in the city, as long as one of the first team defected, one of the soldiers defected, one of the teams defected, and the first team was killed, so that the first team sat down, and also let the old subordinates who had followed him in the initial incident to take the lead in each capital, so as to control the possible rebellion of his subordinates.

His method is a vicious enough method, so that some people who have the intention of defecting have to be honest for fear of implicating others, but the negative impact is that more people among these rebel generals began to be more angry with Zhang Tong.

Fei Wenlong continued to lead the archers to shoot arrows into the city of Bazhou for two consecutive days, delivering the letter of persuasion of the Song army, every day he was paying attention to the city gate, whether it would be opened by the rebels at any time to welcome the Song army into the city, but after two days, Fei Wenlong was disappointed, and there was still no sign of mutiny in the city.

So he only got a plea in front of Gao Huaiyuan: The last general is incompetent, and to this day, the rebels have not shown any signs of mutiny, and it seems that the last general has failed to persuade the rebels to surrender this time! Please dispose of it!

Zheng Bingjie showed a little schadenfreude, and there was a hint of mockery on his face, although he did not sarcastically mock Fei Wenlong in person, saying that he was not as good as attacking strongly, but the expression on his face still revealed his thoughts, he was thinking at this moment, look, this guy surnamed Fei can't do this idea! After tossing for a few days, isn't the rebel army still holding the city, and there is no idea of surrendering the city? I said it earlier, or did you directly storm Bazhou City in one go? It's also a few days of delay!

But after Gao Huaiyuan glanced at Zheng Bingjie's expression, he smiled indifferently and turned his head to Fei Wenlong and said: General Fei doesn't have to blame himself, you are not only right about this matter, but also have merit! Although the rebels have not mutinied in the past two days, you may not have noticed that the rebels are essentially falling apart!

Let me ask you, when General Fei led his troops to shoot arrows into the city the night before, did you notice the reaction of the city?

The generals were slightly stunned, and only Fei Wenlong replied: When the humble post had just begun to release arrows into the city the night before, the rebels in the city also counterattacked, and many archers blindly released arrows outside the city in the dark, trying to prevent our army from attacking the city overnight!

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and asked: So what about the situation last night?

Fei Wenlong immediately replied: The situation was very different last night, when he led the army to shoot arrows into the city, there were very few people who fired arrows outside the city!

So what about the reaction of the rebels during the day today? Gao Huaiyuan followed closely and asked.

Today, during the day, we approached the city wall fifty paces and fired arrows, but we basically did not encounter the enemy's arrow counterattack! Even if a few people were ordered to fight back, they did not shoot a single soldier of our army! Fei Wenlong reported according to the facts.

Hehe! That's right! This shows that most of the rebel generals have no intention of fighting at the moment, but it is estimated that the thief general Zhang Tong has used some methods to control the troops, so that he cannot rebel without permission!

This official predicts that if we attack the city tomorrow, it will be very likely that we will conquer Bazhou City in one go, if this is the case, how can General Fei say that he has no merit? Gao Huaiyuan analyzed the generals with a relaxed expression.

After hearing this, the generals suddenly realized that after repeated training, Gao Huaiyuan's grasp of the psychology of the enemy on the battlefield can be said to be becoming more and more mature, and his analysis made the generals feel very reasonable, and they couldn't help but secretly admire it in their hearts.

Zheng Bingjie also put away his gloating expression, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then stood up to report: Qiqi Marshal, the last general has supervised the construction of a large number of siege equipment in the past two days, and he can launch an attack at any time, please decide!

Good! If the rebels in the city do not surrender tonight, then tomorrow morning, we will launch a siege! Gao Huaiyuan immediately made a final decision.

Just when Gao Huaiyuan led the army to surround Bazhou City, Yue Kun arrived in Dazhou two days in advance, this time he led 5,000 soldiers and horses, although the number is not much, but it has an advantage over the number of Dazhou rebel defenders, Zhang Tong in order to attack Lizhou City, has transferred most of Dazhou soldiers and horses to the Lizhou battlefield, and Dazhou City is now only 3,000 rebels.

When the rebels found that the official army had arrived in Dazhou, they immediately closed the four gates and made a posture of swearing to defend, Yue Kun did not take care of the defenders in the city, but divided his troops into several roads, and sent his subordinates to carry out a three-day clean-up outside the city, and swept away the counties and townships occupied by the surrounding rebels in one fell swoop.

Originally, the rebels still had a lot of troops in Dazhou, if they gave up the surrounding counties and townships in advance, they could surpass the Song army in terms of strength by gathering troops to reach the state, but it was a pity that the Dazhou defenders did not dare to give up these places easily, and divided their troops to guard, the result was that Yue Kun divided his troops to break through each one, and in a few days, they ate away at the rebel forces outside Dazhou City.

In this matter, Yue Kun's military talent was finally displayed, and the rebellion on the outskirts of Dazhou was quickly quelled.
