352 The city of Fugu falls
PS: Thank you rabit2011 for your support!
There shouldn't be any overtime next week, and the update is estimated to be normal.
"There are many people in the city, and there is no room for loss of goods in the city, and as long as you have a conscience, you will never bear to destroy those materials. If anyone dares to destroy, let the heavenly army never spare him. ”
"At this point, whether to open the door and surrender, I will give you a quarter of an hour to consider. A quarter of an hour later, the siege began, and you have seen the power of artillery! ”
After Sun Yunxuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back and handed over the order to Hu Guang.
"The means of attacking the heart have been used, if they don't surrender, they can only attack!" Hu Guang concluded with a slight frown.
As long as it is a siege, no matter what, there will be losses. Moreover, this loss was much more than the previous two battles combined, and it was doubtful whether the supplies in the city could be saved.
This was not the result that Hu Guang had in mind, and therefore, he was laying out from the beginning, hoping to make the defenders of the city open the door and surrender on their own.
But after all, it is not so easy to ask the other side, or the official army that occupies the orthodox concept, to surrender to the so-called thieves.
In history, generally on the eve of the peasant uprising, there are rare examples of officers and soldiers surrendering to thieves. Calling the heavenly army under his own leadership is fundamentally different from ordinary thieves, which can make the officers and soldiers defending the city less worried.
If after a quarter of an hour, the Ming army in the city does not surrender, then there is nothing to say but a strong attack.
At this time, at the head of the city, Zhang Dafu saw that the so-called "artillery company commander" who shouted had turned back, and immediately showed a fierce face, holding his sword and walking towards the family. If you dare not listen to your own orders, what is the use of keeping you?
The ferocity he showed showed his attitude. The man stepped back in fear, explaining and begging for mercy as he retreated: "Master. The villain is indeed unwell and can't open a strong bow. Lord......"
It was useless to beg for mercy, Zhang Dafu was still approaching step by step. The surrounding Ming soldiers, including those family members, looked at this scene with a very ugly face.
Or maybe he already knew that it was useless to beg for mercy like this, and the family suddenly changed his pleading color. He said loudly: "Master, I am also for your good, if you insist on starting a war with the Heavenly Army, the city will be broken, and all of us will definitely die." Master, let's surrender, anyway, even the 5,000 men and horses led by the marshal have been wiped out! ”
"Surrender? Lao Tzu's surrender is also a dead word, why surrender? Even if the city is broken, Lao Tzu will ask the heavenly army to fill it with human lives! And let them not get a little of the supplies in the city. Lao Tzu has already sent people to guard it, as long as the city is broken, a fire will be burned, so that the leader of the heavenly army will break the soldiers and horses and get nothing, hahaha......"
The faces of the surrounding Ming soldiers were even more ugly, looking at the meaning of guerrillas, they only had one death!
When the family heard this, he understood that Zhang Dafu had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth. Suddenly, the spear in his hand strode forward with lightning speed. Interrupted Zhang Dafu's wild laughter.
"Ah......" Zhang Dafu looked down at the spear head that was pierced in his stomach, let out a miserable scream, with an incredible look on his face, and looked up at the family again, and said intermittently: "You...... You...... How dare you kill ......"
"We still have a small family, even if we die here. Can the imperial court give our family a small pension? Outside the city, the prisoners are called the Heavenly Army, for the sake of our families and ourselves, then we will let you die! The housekeeper also had a hideous face, and after he finished speaking. Draw your spear sharply.
Zhang Dafu was in pain, could no longer stand, and fell to the ground. But his face was already fierce, and he pointed at the family and ordered, "Give it to me...... Kill him for me! ”
The surrounding Ming soldiers, including those of the family, were stunned by what had happened in an instant just now. None of them expected that it would be the guerrillas who would die first.
It wasn't until Zhang Dafu ordered the killing that several of his closest cronies came to their senses. These family members are Zhang Dafu's sons, and they share weal and woe with Zhang Dafu. They just watched the old man want to kill the man, but they didn't expect the man to kill the old man first.
At this time, when they heard the order, their faces showed hatred for that man, and they drew their swords one after another, and surrounded the man, wanting to avenge the master.
"Do you all have to accompany Zhang Dafu to death? What about your family, if you die here, will your family be able to live? Outside the city, it's called the Heavenly Army, even if you don't join them, you can still get a bag of food home to help your family, you ......"
Hearing that this person was inciting, these cronies felt that they couldn't delay it, and at this time, they had already forced that person into a corner, and when they were about to make a move, they suddenly felt that their backs hurt.
"Okay, brothers, for the sake of yourself and your family, you should do this!" The besieged family members breathed a sigh of relief, and watched as the comrades around him stabbed the besieging several from behind.
One of them drew his spear, his face was already a little relaxed because he had made a choice, and he spoke: "If it weren't for the Heavenly Army outside the city, I really wouldn't dare to do this!" ”
"That is, if you are a thief, you can't enter the ancestral grave, and I plan to take food home." Another said.
While they were talking, suddenly one of them said, "Quick, go and open the gates, for a quarter of an hour is coming!" ”
"Also, the supplies in the city, Zhang Dafu has already sent someone over to prepare for the city to break and ignite, let's stop it." A family member also immediately reminded him.
Outside the city, in the formation of the Heavenly Army, Li Dingguo was announcing to Hu Guangyu: "Report to the chief, a quarter of an hour has arrived!" ”
"Chief, it's not a big deal not to surrender. They hadn't rested since yesterday and were already exhausted. I am willing to make a military order, and I will definitely attack Fugu County when it gets dark! Seeing Hu Guang's brows furrowed, Hu Hansan assured loudly.
Hu Guang looked at Hu Hansan, and was about to speak, when suddenly An Gui shouted loudly: "The city gate, the city gate is open!" ”
When everyone heard this, they saw that there were already people waving white flags on the city, and the city gate was slowly opening. Obviously, the Ming army in the city surrendered.
Hu Guang was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered Liu Daneng: "Quickly send the cavalry into the city and go to receive the materials in the city!" ”
"Yes, Chief!" Liu Daneng was excited, agreed, and immediately went to arrange.
Being able to get Fugu County without fighting and dying is the most ideal thing, and it is not in vain to waste his previous layout. Hu Guang thought about it, and a smile appeared on his face.
In fact, he put in so much effort, even if Zhang Dafu had not been attacked because he had persecuted that family, when the war began, the resistance of the Ming army would naturally not be fierce. Because they all know the policy of calling the heavenly army, no one wants to defend a city that must be destroyed, and no one wants to become a prisoner, because they have the lives of the soldiers of the heavenly army in their hands and lose their lives. It's just that they have one less person who comes out, but it doesn't prevent them from working or not working.
Fugu County, in this way, once again fell into the hands of the Heavenly Army. (To be continued......)
