The rebel commander hesitated for a moment, then shouted at the city: "Send a soldier to remove his armor and swim to the opposite bank to see the situation." ”

"Yes, Master." The colonel answered, looked at a soldier beside him, and ordered, "Quick, take off your armor and swim over." ”

It was the vernal equinox, the weather was not very warm, and the water in the moat was still cold, but the rebel soldiers had to obey the orders of their superiors.

After removing their armor, the rebel soldiers swam into the water and swam to the opposite bank, where they quickly reached the opposite bank due to the limited width of the moat, and endured the biting cold to investigate the baggage wagons left behind by the Jin army.

The rebel soldiers lifted the corpses on the baggage trucks one by one, and after inspecting more than a dozen vehicles in a row, they couldn't help but panic, Deng Ding and Kui Wen were the main generals of the rebels, as soldiers, he naturally recognized that so many generals had died in battle, how could he not panic.

"What's the situation in the city, what's on the car?" Seeing the soldiers standing on the opposite bank in a daze, the rebel commander on the tower of the city gate asked loudly.

The rebel soldiers were stunned, and shouted in the direction of the city gate tower: "Commander, it's really General Deng and General Kui, they are all killed in battle." There was sadness and fear in his tone

When the rebel commander heard this, he suddenly seemed to be hit by five thunderbolts, relieved for a moment, and ordered: "Put down the drawbridge and push all the baggage trucks in." ”

With the order of the rebel commander, the suspension bridge hanging above the moat slowly fell, and then, twenty wagons were slowly pushed to the city gate, waiting for the city gate to open before entering the city.

"Raise the drawbridge and open the gates." The rebel commander gave the order again. And he walked to the city with a group of his own soldiers.

Soon, the drawbridge over the moat was lifted again, and the gates were slowly opened, and the soldiers went out of the city, pushing all twenty wagons into the city, and then closing the gates again.

The rebel commander arrived at the location of the baggage truck with a group of personal soldiers, and continuously inspected dozens of corpses on the car, and finally determined that Deng Ding and Kui Wen and other generals were indeed killed in battle.

Seeing the corpses of Deng Ding, Kui Wen and others with his own eyes, the rebel army leader was a little unstable, and his heart was extremely weak. The soldiers and generals beside him. They all looked at the qiē in front of them incredulously.

After all, the main army had 30,000 people, how could it be annihilated by the Jin army so lightly? All the soldiers couldn't understand the reason for this, and an inexplicable fear hung over the hearts of all the soldiers.

"General. You see. Here's an epistle. A pro-soldier from the chest position of Deng Ding's corpse. Take out a letter.

The rebel commander took the letter and glanced at it, and saw that the opening of the envelope was not sealed, so. I took it out and took a look.

As expected, the content of the letter was to preach the benevolence and invincibility of the Jin army, and persuade them to surrender immediately.

The rebel commander carried the letter in his arms, and since it was a letter from the Jin army, he had to give it to his superior, even if it was a meaningless letter of persuasion.

"General, what now?" The Colonel looked at the military master and asked softly.

The rebel army leader was calm, and said: "The direction of the city gate will be handed over to you for the time being, and the general will go to report to General Wang now, and after speaking, he stepped on the war horse and rode his horse in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, because, at this time, Wang Oath, Wang Run and other major generals are in the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy."

On the inside of the city gate, as soon as the rebel army lord left, many rebel soldiers gathered in a circle around the baggage cart, and left one after another under the orders of their respective generals, but the news of the annihilation of the main army of the rebel army quickly spread and caused panic among the soldiers defending the city.

After all, so many corpses are placed on the inside of the city gate, and the corpses will not tell lies, and generals such as Deng Ding and Kui Wen were killed in battle, and the fate of the main army can be imagined.

Some of the rebel soldiers who were not on duty and the people who were doing good things also flocked to the city gate to watch the situation and tell each other, so that near the north gate, the crowd gathered more and more, and soon the city gate was flooded.

######

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Oath and Wang Run and other rebel generals were discussing a strategy to retreat from the enemy, and what happened in the Sheep Gut Valley attracted their special attention.

In order to find out what happened in the direction of the Sheep Intestine Valley and what the main army lost, Wang O had already sent scouts to the direction of the Sheep Intestine Valley to reconnoiter the situation, but due to the distance, the scouts who explored had not returned for the time being.

Seeing that the king was full of sorrow, a rebel general comforted: "The prime minister doesn't need to worry too much, the main force of the Jin army is all deployed outside the city of Chengdu, and the Jin army and horses in ambush in the Sheep Intestine Valley are just a small army, and the main force of our army has 30,000 people, and there is absolutely no problem with self-protection." ”

When Wang Wei heard this, his mood eased slightly, paused, and said softly: "What is the situation in the direction of the North Gate, and what is the change in the main force of the Jin army?" ”

"Prime Minister, the 3,000 men and horses of Chen Ting's headquarters of the Jin army have arrived at the Jin army camp, and other than that, the Jin army has not made any changes." Wang Run clenched his fists and replied truthfully.

Wang Wei nodded and said softly: "The 3,000 reinforcements of the Jin army have arrived, but the 30,000 main force of our army is still unknown!" Send scouts to investigate the Sheep Gut Valley again, and we must find out the situation of Deng Ding and Kui Wen. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister." Wang Run hurriedly responded.

"General, general, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." At this moment, the rebel army lord on duty at the north gate hurried in.

"Master, this general insists on breaking in, and the villain can't stop him." A nurse came after him, bent down and explained.

Wang swore that when he saw that someone dared to trespass into his mansion, his brows frowned, revealing an angry expression, after all, it was very impolite to trespass into someone else's mansion, and trespassing into the prime minister's mansion was even more unsightly, and even suspected of despising the prime minister of the dynasty.

Seeing Wang Oath's angry face, Wang Run looked at the military lord under his command and reprimanded loudly: "As a general, you trespassed into the Prime Minister's Mansion, what crime should you be guilty of." ”

The rebel commander also realized that he was abrupt, he hurriedly clasped his hands into fists, knelt down and said, "The last general is rude for a while, and I ask the prime minister for forgiveness." ”

Wang swore a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said softly: "Okay, get up!" What is it that makes you so in such a hurry? ”

"Prime Minister, the Jin army has just sent a messenger to send the corpses of dozens of generals such as General Deng and General Kui into the city, and now they will be placed at the north gate, and the last general will come to report it." The rebel commander stubbornly told the truth.

"What, the corpses of General Deng and General Kui, could it be that they were all killed in battle."

"If this is the case, won't our army have no leader in reinforcements."

"The main force of the Jin army is all deployed near Chengdu, and the main force of our army is 30,000, how can it be so heavy losses, how can it be?"

All the generals beside the king swore a lot of talking.

Wang Run took a step closer, looked at the military master under his command, and asked loudly, "Have you really seen clearly?" Is it really the corpses of General Deng and General Kui? After speaking, he looked forward to the negative answer from his subordinates.

The rebel army leader hugged his fists and said: "General, the last general saw it with his own eyes, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong, the two generals and most of the generals under his command were killed, this is a letter sent into the city by the envoy of the Jin army, the general, please take a look." After speaking, he reached out and took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Wang Run's hand.

Wang Run didn't dare to look at it first, he opened the letter and put it in the hands of the prime minister of the dynasty.

Wang Wei took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and put it aside, the letter written by the Jin army was nothing more than the content of persuasion to surrender, and by the way, he added fuel and vinegar to the description of the battle process of defeating Deng Ding and Kui Wen's army.

After reading the oath, Wang Run and other generals watched the contents of the letter in turn, and all the generals looked very depressed.

Seeing that Deng Ding, Kui Wen and other generals were all killed, Wang swore that the main army of 30,000 was completely dispersed, but he didn't understand what method the Jin army used to let a small army defeat his own 30,000 army at once, and moreover, he also killed Deng Ding and Kui Wen and other generals.

Wang Xuan's body trembled slightly, he took a few steps back, sat down on the chair suddenly, and looked at the generals in front of him with empty eyes.

"Prime Minister, are you alright?" Seeing Wang Oath's expression, all the generals were startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Wang Wei waved his hand and said weakly: "I can't imagine that the main force of our army has encountered such an accident, I really regret it, if I hadn't been in a hurry to achieve success and send the main army to march east, it would not be the current situation." ”

"Prime Minister, the matter has come to this, now, what should we do!" One of his subordinates asked worriedly.

Wang swore to look at the generals, and said: "Now that the main army can no longer be counted on, the defense of the national capital can only rely on the generals, the generals should work together to defend the capital, and the Jin army will naturally retreat when it runs out of food." ”

In fact, when he learned the news of the death of major generals such as Deng Ding and Kui Wen, Wang Wei knew that Chengdu could not be saved, but in order to comfort his subordinates, he had to say so.

"General Wang, the heavy responsibility of defending the capital is all up to you, and also, bury General Deng and General Kui and others! Let them be laid to rest! Wang Wei looked at Wang Run and arranged softly.

Wang Run hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, rest assured, the last general will definitely guard Chengdu, and the future affairs of General Deng and General Kui will definitely be arranged." ”

"Alright, all the generals, stand down! The nature of the image should be quiet. Wang Run waved his hand and motioned for the generals to leave.

"Prime Minister take care, I'll retire." The generals clasped their fists and saluted, turned around and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, in Chengdu, the news that Deng Ding and Kui Wen and other generals were killed by the Jin army had spread throughout the city, and the common people in the streets and alleys were talking about this matter.

The reason why many soldiers joined the rebels was to make ends meet, and now, the main army has been dispersed, while the main force of the Jin army may attack the city at any time, and the soldiers who know that there is no hope of victory have begun to think about the way back, and deserters have begun to appear in various armies and battalions.

The deserters took off their armor, dressed up as civilians, crept out of the city, and then fled in the direction of their hometowns, and no one would ever hold them accountable for deserting if the rebel regime fell. (To be continued......)
