Although he had already believed it for seven or eight points, Boyan still decided to delay it for another day.

The siege of the second day intensified, with both sides doing their best. Regardless of the damage, Boyan sent all the puppet troops, determined to maximize the value of this batch of cannon fodder.

The Southern Song Dynasty camp also did not dare to slack off and responded with a resolute response.

When the sun falls, there is a river of blood flowing around Lin'an City, and the corpses are all over the field, which is shocking. The Southern Song camp paid the price of nearly 30,000 casualties, not only clearing all the earthen forts, but also annihilating all the Mongol puppet army.

The "sick cat" of Fawei is amazingly lethal.

Although Boyan originally had the purpose of eliminating the puppet army, when the puppet army was really all killed, it still made Boyan feel frightened, and the strength of the Inhuman Legion made Boyan dare not slack off.

That night, Zhang Hongfan received a second letter from Zhang Shijie.

The content of the letter is very simple, only a short sentence: "Since your army is unwilling to accept the surrender of our army, then we can only fight to the death, vow to live and die with Lin'an City, and see you on the battlefield!" ”

Come to think of it, Zhang Shijie was completely dead set on surrendering.

After seeing it, Boyan was relieved, and said to Zhang Hongfan with a smile: "You can talk to them!" ”

Early this morning, Kublai Khan sent a reply letter to Boyan, granting him the right to make arbitrary decisions on the spot, and he was fully responsible for negotiating with the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Boyan does not need to ask for further instructions to decide.

Zhang Hongfan nodded in response.

"Remember, let the Southern Song Dynasty send a powerful minister out of the city to negotiate, and you can only arrange for a maximum of two hundred people to go out of the city." Boyan is still very cautious.

"Understood!"

…………

Sixteenth day of the campaign.

On this day, the war was still raging and fierce.

After replying to Zhang Shijie, in order to hide people's eyes, Boyan did not make a truce, but only agreed to secretly negotiate surrender in the southern suburbs in the evening.

In the morning, a secluded house in the west of the city.

Also in order to hide people's eyes, the members of the Military Aircraft Division chose this secret place for the meeting.

Before the discussion began, the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, because it was a fraudulent surrender, and according to Boyan's request, he had to risk his life to go out of the city to negotiate.

The ministers who have weight in Boyan's mouth are Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang, and now Wen Tianxiang is "standing aside", and only Lu Zhang is left.

"I'll go!" Zhang Shijie said, "I wrote the letter, and I am famous for going out of the city to negotiate." ”

Lu Xiufu shook his head resolutely, "It's not appropriate for you to go, the army can't do without you, so I'll go." ”

Zhang Shijie wanted to say something more, but Lu Xiufu intercepted the conversation, and then said: "Negotiation is a civilian matter, and I am duty-bound, so the general will not say it again." ”

Regardless of ability, the solar terms of the three heroes at the end of the Song Dynasty are worthy of respect.

Lu Xiufu was calm, and said with a smile: "When I come, I can still do a big thing for the imperial court, and I will be blind to death." ”

This kind of generosity to death made Ouyang Shuo sigh with emotion, he couldn't imagine what Lu Xiufu was thinking at the moment when he jumped into the sea with the young emperor on his back in history.

Xiongba glanced at Ouyang Shuo, and for the first time felt agreed with Ouyang Shuo's "willfulness".

Seeing that Lu Xiufu had made up his mind, and everyone here was not an ordinary person, he collected his mood and began to finally confirm some details of the beheading operation.

Ouyang Shuo originally wanted to arrange two hundred Shenwu Guards to accompany Lu Xiufu, but after thinking about it, Shenwu Wei was too conspicuous, and it was likely to be seen through by Bo Yan, so he had no choice but to give up in the end.

Whether Lu Xiufu can survive this catastrophe can only be left to fate.

…………

The clock was fast approaching early evening.

The orange-red sun hangs in the sky, and the bright colors become lighter and lighter from near to far. A flock of vultures hovers in the air, emitting bursts of piercing cries that are annoying.

As soon as the order was given, the mighty Mongol army retreated like a tide, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses and a broken, filthy battlefield.

Suddenly, a side door to the south opened from the inside.

Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, quietly left the city under the escort of the two hundred Song forbidden troops. As soon as they walked not far away, a group of Mongolian cavalry came to them, and after checking their identities, they led them on.

Boyan and his entourage were already waiting on a flat ground in the southern suburbs.

Seeing that the Southern Song Dynasty complied with the agreement and really only sent two hundred soldiers to escort him, Boyan finally showed a smile on his face. If the Southern Song Dynasty can be successfully persuaded this time, then Boyan's merit book will add a brilliant stroke.

After meeting with each other, the two sides officially entered into negotiations.

Everything looks very normal, but as everyone knows, Lin'an City at this time has long been very different.

According to the plan, in the west, Lian Po, the lord of the West Gate, personally commanded 50,000 elite cavalry, and quietly assembled near the three city gates in the west; In the east, Zhao Zhuang, the deputy general of the East Gate, led 50,000 elite cavalry, also assembled near the city gate.

And then there's the north.

The 30,000 elite cavalry of the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, together with the 30,000 elite cavalry of Luofeng City, a total of 60,000 elite cavalry, quietly gathered to the south.

To the south, Zhang Shijie, the commander of the South Gate, led the only 20,000 cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty to prepare for departure.

For this beheading operation, the Southern Song Dynasty camp dispatched a total of 180,000 cavalry, almost sweeping away the cavalry in the city, and it was necessary to achieve the greatest results and complete the counterattack.

Such a big military operation naturally alarmed the Mongolian spies lurking in Lin'an City, but Lin'an had already been under martial law in the whole city, and the Mongol spies could not transmit information outside the city at all.

Thirty.

When the time came, like a starting gun, the gates of Lin'an, east, west and south opened at the same time, and the 180,000 elite cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty camp were divided into three roads and fought out of the city.

The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, rolling up billowing smoke and dust.

At this time, the sky is beautiful, the sunset hangs high, and the dazzling red light is cast, which is extremely dazzling.

To the south, the evil came to ride the spirit beast Rakshasa and led the Praetorian Guard to take the lead, walking at the front of the team, and after leaving the city, he didn't think twice about it, and went straight to the negotiation place between the two sides.

Zhang Shijie led the rear army, forming a fan, and followed closely behind the vanguard troops.

After leaving the city, the cavalry troops on the east and west sides made a big bend and turned to the south, like two large arcs, forming a semicircle between each other and weaving a large net.

In the south city tower, the god general Wu Qi was ordered to command the three-way army to complete the siege.

Once the encirclement network is formed, it will be difficult for Boyan to fly. The roundabout encirclement tactics of long-distance raids were originally the masterpiece of the Mongols, but now they were used against them by the Southern Song Dynasty.

…………

When the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty left the city, the Mongol army, which had just retreated from the front line, was resting in the camp tent and preparing to eat.

Looking at the cavalry who suddenly left the city, the Mongolian cavalry who was in charge of the perimeter guard was completely stunned, in their impression that the Mongols had always taken the initiative to attack, and they had never seen any city dare to take the initiative to go out of the city under the repeated attacks of the Mongol army.

But the patrol force was not slow to react at all.

While sending people to warn the camp, they turned their horses' heads and directly met the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This is, of course, the mantis arm as a car.

The Mongol cavalry is powerful, but it will also be after the scale.

The patrol force could not stir up any wind and waves in front of the 50,000-strong cavalry troops, and before the two sides could get closer, the patrol force was completely annihilated, and all of them were shot off their horses.

The cavalry on both wings did not stop at all, and rushed south one by one, making sure to complete the big encirclement.

When the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty camp had gone away, the Mongolian army that had been reported had just sent a vanguard force, looking at the billowing smoke and dust, they only had to eat the soil, and they couldn't catch up with the horses.

The entire Mongolian military camp was suddenly in chaos, and even more chaotic was in the south.

Boyan is a cautious person, even if Lu Xiufu really only took two hundred people out of the city as agreed, Boyan was still not at ease, and three checkpoints were arranged along the way.

Shortly after the evil troops left the city, they were discovered by the outpost and immediately warned them.

Boyan got the report, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he said to Lu Xiufu in a gloomy manner: "Okay, you dare to cheat, I took your dog's life first!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar pinned to his waist.

Lu Xiufu pretended to be surprised, and said in a lost voice: "What happened?" ”

"Pretend, pretend!"

Boyan gritted his teeth, "Do you really think that you can defeat us with just one raid?" ”

Seeing that Lu Xiufu was really at a loss, Zhang Hongfan opened his mouth and said: "Lord Lu, you are still negotiating with us, and the cavalry rushed out of the city, clearly wanting to kill you." ”

At this time, neither Boyan nor Zhang Hongfan knew that the Southern Song Dynasty had actually come out, and they thought that it was only the vanguard of evil, so they were not very flustered.

Lu Xiufu's face changed and said, "The general misunderstood. I think it must not be the Great Song Forbidden Army, it may be that the news that we are going to surrender was known by the strangers, and they went out of the city to take revenge. ”

Boyan and Zhang Hongfan glanced at each other, and it was difficult to judge whether what Lu Xiufu said was true or false, because according to the report of the outpost scout, it was indeed the Inhuman Legion that was killed.

"Take them in custody first, and get ready to fight!"

Boyan acted neatly and quickly.

Under an order, together with the two hundred forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty, they were all taken by Boyan's own soldiers. As he spoke, the vanguard led by the evil came to break through the two checkpoints and came straight to the negotiation site.

"How can it be so fast?!"

Boyan's heart trembled, and for the first time, he felt a little comfortable.

The battle between the two sides has been limited to the head of the city, and the cavalry units of the Inhuman Legion have no chance to appear at all. This appearance overpowered the Mongolian cavalry.

As an experienced general, from the speed of the enemy's surprise attack, Boyan faintly judged that the combat strength of the attacking army was still above the Mongolian cavalry.

This conclusion is enough to subvert Boyan's three views.

Since Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian steppe, the Mongol iron cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent without any rival, and in the hearts of the Mongols, their cavalry has long been a symbol of invincibility.

Now that such a cavalry unit suddenly appeared, how not to shock Boyan.

Zhang Hongfan, who was on the side, saw that the main general was hesitant, and patted his horse and walked over and whispered: "Dashuai, the number of enemy troops is unknown at the moment, and it came too suddenly, I don't know if it's a conspiracy." Why don't we stay away from the edge for the time being, wait until we find out the enemy's situation, and then make a calculation? ”

Zhang Hongfan's strategy is a safe method.

When Boyan heard this, his face was cloudy, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
