In the command post of the former enemy of the Tuanshan Army in the northwest three miles of Pingyanli, Zhang Li sat on the marching bench, waiting for news from Nizi Zhijiu.

The shelling had ceased for the time being, but the Tuanshan Army still made an offensive posture, with more than 600 cannons lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were facing the Japanese battalion.

In fact, the ammunition of the Tuanshan Army was already running out, and even when it was decided to besiege the Japanese Expeditionary Force this morning, Gao Yuanliang and others suggested not to carry artillery.

The bulky artillery, although carried in horse-drawn carriages, slowed down the movement of the entire army, and there were not many shells, so it did not play much role on the battlefield.

However, Zhang Li vetoed this proposal and insisted on bringing the cannons here, and even asked Yesheng to inform Chen Zhengcao that the cannons on the Tuanshan Water Division warship were also unloaded and pulled here.

What Zhang Li wanted to do was to bet that the Japanese army would choose "peace talks" -- yes, in front of Naojiu Nikoko, Zhang Li did not mention the word "surrender", but used "peace talks". Just like the various "peace treaties" signed by the "Great Qing Dynasty" and the foreign powers in the "peace talks" dozens of times.

If the Japanese army is to "surrender", I am afraid that a big battle will be necessary, the strength of the Tuanshan Army is not superior, and the most important thing is that after the battle of Songak Mountain and Kaesong, the ammunition can no longer be supplied.

Don't look at the repeated victories of the Tuanshan army, every time they can beat the Manchu Tartars everywhere to find teeth, but the biggest flaw in this hot weapon army The enemy has not yet noticed it, but the tension is well understood.

That is the supply of ammunition - just as now, the Tuanshan Army is at the end of its strength, and its situation is not much better than that of the Japanese army. In addition, the soldiers of the Tuanshan Army are flesh and blood after all, and they are already very tired, so they have persevered until now with one breath, if some changes really occur. The soldiers are not without the possibility of collapse.

Of course, Zhang Zhang can also choose to deploy in Kaesong and wait for the delivery of materials from Liaodong. But in this way, the 70,000 men of the Japanese expeditionary force can have many choices, either to go north or to retreat east. This is not the result that Zhang Li wants to see.

Therefore, the tension must be strengthened, this is the last battle in the short term, and it is necessary to reap the full credit.

The idea of using artillery to deter the opponent and promote surrender is not a self-creation, but a tactic learned from the Japanese in World War II.

In World War II, Japan's Battle of Singapore used force and intimidation to the extreme, and finally forced the British army to surrender. At that time, the commander of the Japanese army, Yamashita Fumi, who had the "reputation" of the "Malay Tiger", launched an attack on Singapore with three divisions. The British, Indian, and Australian armies in Singapore numbered more than 100,000 troops, no less than the Japanese army. Even the British army had better weapons than the Japanese army. However, Yamashita Hofumi carried the aftermath of his victory in Southeast Asia and continued to shell the Singapore defense line with heavy artillery fire. At that time, the Japanese army's artillery shells were no longer enough, and if they fought for another three days, the Japanese army would run out of ammunition, but the paper tigers of the "empire on which the sun never sets" were afraid, and more than 100,000 people all laid down their arms and chose to surrender......

Later, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill lamented: "The most painful catastrophe in British history, the greatest surrender, is in Singapore." ”

This behavior of the Japanese army is a typical "chicken stealing". The foreign adults who were regarded as gods by "my Daqing" also fell for the trick.

The current situation of the Tuan Shan Army was different, and the Japanese Expeditionary Force was now in a situation a hundred times more dangerous than the British in Singapore. Because their rear base has been lost, there is no supply of food and grass. Although the current situation of the Tuanshan Army is not optimistic, if Zhang Li is determined to fight a battle, the Japanese Expeditionary Force may still be invincible. It's just that in this way, the casualties of the Tuanshan army will be very large......

Zhang Zhang muttered to himself: "Where the way to conquer the country, attack the heart first." Siege is the bottom; The heart wins for the top, and the soldiers win for the bottom. Then he turned his head to look at Kang Xing'an on the side and repeated.

Kang Xing'an is also very clear about the situation of the Tuanshan Army, and at this time, he sincerely admires the tension in his heart. Mr. Zhang's "bluff" is simply too wonderful

Kang Xing'an immediately said convincingly: "My subordinates have been taught." ”

Zhang Zhang bowed slightly, and began to think about whether the Japanese army would accept the "peace talks" or not. If not. Then there will be a jade burning, desperately losing some soldiers, and all the devils must be destroyed!

After about an hour, Nizi Zhijiu returned to the Tuanshan army with a red face.

Zhang Li looked at Nizi Zhijiu's expression, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, estimating that it was eight or nine and ten. Sure enough, as soon as Nizi Zhijiu saw Zhang Li, he went straight to the point after bowing, and said in broken Chinese: "The little one is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Lord Zhang is mighty, and the Tuanshan Army is mighty! Maeda Toshitsune and Date Tadamune have already agreed to Lord Zhang's conditions! ”

Zhang Li's face was not shocked, and after glancing at Nizi Zhijiu, he said lightly: "Mr. Nizi has worked hard, has you said about the proton?" ”

Originally, according to Zhang Li's previous thoughts, Nima's little devil was the most treacherous, and the cliff could not be trusted, and he had to hand over the son of the world as a hostage. This is also a common part of this kind of "alliance under the city" in ancient times, otherwise the ghost knows if you will abide by the agreement after patting your ass and leaving?

Naoku Niko smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "This time, Maeda Toshitsune and Date Tadamune's sons both went out together, and they both served in the army, and their subordinates ...... Ah, no, under which they have been brought. ”

Nizi Naojiu seemed to be a little embarrassed by the "language disease" just now, and immediately added: "The Maeda family and the Date family are some of the best names in Japan, and their sons know each other, so they are definitely not impostors!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Zhang Li replied coldly, and his eyes fell on Naojiu's face.

Nizi Zhijiu was scared in his heart, he also knew that there was such a thing as kneeling in the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom, but Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the Tuanshan Water Division, had repeatedly said that there was no need to kneel in the Tuanshan army-

Even though he was over sixty years old, his legs were shaking so much at this moment that he couldn't hold back any longer, so he directly "pounced" and fell to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Master Zhang Mingjian, there is no half-word of falsehood in the next one!" ”

Zhang Zhang had the intention to tell him to get up, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help it-hmm, don't you kneel, just kneel, you can afford it......

After a while, Zhang Li said lightly: "I have changed my mind about the proton, and I don't need any hostages for the mountain army." You take people back and tell Maeda Toshitsune and Date Tadamune a word - those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away! Remember? ”

Nizi Zhijiu only knows a little bit about Chinese, and where has he heard this sentence, but he can understand the general meaning, but he may not be able to know the deep meaning of this sentence...... (To be continued.) )
