Section 165 Darkness Chencang
Shen Mu himself never thought that because he was nosy, he would fall into such a big event. The war between the two countries originally had nothing to do with people like him, and at most he would do his part because of the phrase "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband".
Isn't it a very good thing to be a beautiful man quietly and ordinary? Which tendon is wrong, and I have to be entangled in the affairs of the Daozhi Tea Bureau. In such troubles, I have to give myself a whole "Zhongnanhai" on the top of my head!
Curiosity killed the cat!
I hope that the people in Ninghai City will be able to perceive their arrangement. After all, this time everything is really ready, only the east wind is owed!
When night fell, Shen Mu slept very early, neither practicing Qi nor thinking nonsense.
Tomorrow is the time to see the real chapter, and Shen Mu has always liked to sleep well before the exam. As for whether or not you will fail the course, even if you stay up all night, you may not be able to guarantee it. It's better to recharge your energy and doze off in the "examination room" of the province.
The next day, the defenders of Ninghai City did not hang a white flag. When I saw Yingyue, I didn't forget to tease her. It seems that women's families are all small-bellied chicken intestines, Shen Mu has never offended Yingyue from beginning to end, but he doesn't know where Yingyue's hatred for him comes from!
The siege continued, but the difference was that Miao Bokang had the direction of the main attack this time.
East Gate!
The defenders of the East Gate were dominated by the Central Army led by Yang Huang. Yang Huang is a good general, but most of the soldiers under his command were brought out by Dong Ming. Whether it is discipline or combat effectiveness, it can't be compared with the soldiers he brings at all, let alone with the feudal army of Murong Mansion.
Fortunately, Murong Huan had already realized this, and transferred two thousand elite soldiers to assist. The East Gate was not where the Nansang Central Army was located, and the pressure was correspondingly lighter.
Today, however, is different.
Today's Nansang army attacking the east gate was like a chicken blood, and they were full of excitement one by one, and their number increased a lot.
The Nansang army attacked wave after wave, and Yang Huang was overwhelmed even if he had three heads and six arms.
At the end of the hour, the Nansang army transferred large siege equipment such as rushing carts and trebuchets. They seem to have torn a hole in the east gate as soon as possible.
Yang Huang asked Murong Huan for reinforcements, but he had no choice but to defend for several days. The feudal army is also dwarfed, and there is really no way to send troops to support.
As noon approached, the city wall of the south gate, which had been riddled with holes, finally could not hold on, and after being hit by a boulder, it collapsed into a gap of about two zhang.
Seeing this, the Nansang army surged up.
Seeing the crisis of the situation, if he continued to stay here, the whole army would definitely be annihilated, so he immediately made a decision and led the whole army to quickly withdraw to the inner city to defend.
The pattern of Ninghai Mansion and Dingzhou City is basically the same, although there is no structure of three layers in the inner and three layers in the outer city like the capital, but it is also divided into two city walls: the inner city and the outer city.
In the middle of the inner and outer city walls are the residences of ordinary people and various commercial shops. The inner city was also the residence of the government institutions and some dignitaries. Overlooking from the house, the construction of the city is like a big "back" word!
The East Gate City was broken, and the Nansang Army swarmed in, pouring into the streets and alleys of the outer city like a tide.
When the remaining three guards heard that the east gate was lost, they looked up to the sky and sighed, so they had to order the whole army to cover the retreat one by one. Along the way, they escorted the people who could not evacuate in time and retreated to the inner city together.
Miao Bokang sat in the camp of the Chinese army, and heard the herald come to report that the east gate of Ninghai had been broken and the army was receiving the outer city. I was overjoyed in my heart, and I got up and shouted "good"!
When the generals heard this, they all said in unison: "Congratulations to Marshal Xi to capture Ninghai!"
Miao Bo resisted the spring breeze proudly, stepped down from the handsome position, pulled Shen Mu, who was sitting at the bottom, to the center of the big tent, and praised: "Mr. Shen, your strategy to paralyze Murong Huan is really powerful, this time you can capture Ninghai, you Shen Mu is the first achievement!"
Shen Mu was also secretly happy, and bowed his hands: "The big handsome man is serious, it is all the generals who work together to attack the city to achieve such a victory!"
Miao Bokang saw that he was not arrogant or arrogant, and he loved it even more: "Mr. Shen, after the war, this marshal will definitely guarantee your fame." At present, Murong Huan's army has retreated to the city. Sir, do you want to go with Ben Shuai to take a look at Murong Huan's embarrassment!"
Shen Mu said: "Dashuai, this matter is too smooth, the grass people always feel a little strange, although Murong Huan is already a turtle in the urn, he is the king of Zhennan of Yunzhao after all." This person has been able to guard the West Mountain Road for decades, and his strength should not be underestimated. In the opinion of the grass people, if they attack at this time, they will definitely come to a dead end, and then the gains will outweigh the losses!"
At this time, Miao Bokang was already very impressed with Shen Mu, and when he heard him say this, it made sense: "Then according to Mr. Shen's opinion, what should I do?"
Shen Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "You can use the life of the troops of the Left Patrol Road to win the inner city!"
Yingyue heard this. shouted: "Shen Mu, what are you going to do?"
Yingyue subconsciously always felt that Shen Mu was a little unpredictable, but after listening to what he said, he really didn't know how to expose Shen Mu's "lies". Hearing that Shen Mu was going to use the troops of the Left Patrol Road again, he thought that these were all tricks that Tsing Yifang had painstakingly grasped. If Shen Mu runs out, there will be no cards in Tsing Yifang's hand at that time!
Shen Mu said with a smile: "I am planning for Dashuai, naturally for the sake of Nansang. The troops of the Left Patrol Road are Murong Huan's personal soldiers, and their lives are safe, and Murong Huan will not sit idly by. Auntie is worried that something will happen to Shen Mu? hehe...... Now the whole Ninghai is a fish on the chopping board of Nanmulberry...... Whether it is fried and braised or stewed in soup, it is not according to the mind of the handsome. Is Auntie still worried that they will be able to escape? Or does Auntie have other plans, so she keeps her hole cards?"
Yingyue, how can Shen Mu be able to speak. Shen Mu talked eloquently this time, and he was angry and angry, turning his hands and clenching his fists, and was about to slap Shen Mu.
As soon as he took half a step, his arm was pulled by Yin Yue. Yin Yue stood in front of Yingyue, shook her head slightly, and reminded: "Second sister, focus on the overall situation!"
Yingyue snorted, and the murderous intent in her heart was even stronger. Secretly: Okay, Aunt Ben will leave you alone for the time being, and wait to capture the West Mountain Road. Then take your dog's head and grind it into powder!
Miao Bokang sang the original song, and said with a smile: "Everyone is their own people, don't hurt the harmony...... Shen Mu's strategy is indeed very good, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious......"
Shen Mu bowed and said: "Since ancient times, there is no poison and no husband, and those who want to achieve great things are not limited to small sections! Shen Mu is thinking about the big handsome, and it is not a pity for those who surrender to the army to die!"
Miao Bokang said to Yingyue: "The merits of your Tsing Yi Fang have long been remembered in my heart, and after the city is broken, I will give it to the king of Ming and invite merit for Tsing Yi Fang!"
Yingyue is not interested in rewards, and this cooperation with Nansang is purely for the purpose of inviting Yue! But Miao Bokang said this, he can't tear his face. Immediately bowed slightly, and said the word "thanks" very reluctantly!
When Juan was brought into the big tent, he was probably in the same mood as Gonggong Qiu. However, he was a relatively tolerant person, but he spat on Shen Mu.
Shen Mu didn't explain much, and said to Miao Bo: "Dashuai, these people will go into the city with us, can Shen Mu call the door later, so that the grass people can also be majestic?"
Miao Bo resisted and said: After all, this Shen Mu is just a small leader in the cottage, and when he got this opportunity, he actually wanted to be in the limelight. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, so let him be proud. By the way, it can also win people's hearts!
"Okay, Mr. Shen's request, how could this commander not be! Come, prepare to enter the city!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Nansang army entered the city of Ninghai in three ways. Only 30,000 soldiers were left outside the city to respond, and the remaining 60,000 people lined up neatly and entered Ninghai in a mighty way.
Shen Mu rode a tall horse into Ninghai from the south gate, and behind him, stumbling followed by Juan and the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Left Patrol Road who surrendered with him.
After Miao Bokang entered the city, in order to prepare for the final blow to the inner city of Ninghai, he first ordered all the troops to assemble and rest, and then killed horses and slaughtered sheep, and rewarded the three armies with all the gold, silver and jewelry collected in the outer city, and waited for Shen Mu's news to be there.
Shen Mu led the troops, and Suo Liang's more than 2,000 people went to the inner city to call the door first.
Yan Shun saw a group of men and horses lining up on the avenue at the head of the city, and hurriedly commanded the troops to be on guard.
When he saw that one of them was Shen Mu, he secretly asked someone to invite Murong Huan.
Shen Mu's brigade stopped at a stone's throw and shouted at the city, "Please talk to Lord Murong!"
Yan Shun shouted: "Who is under the city, see the prince of my family!"
Shen Mu said: "I am Shen Mu, the Righteous Valve Military Master. I have something to make a deal with the prince!"
Murong Huan leaned out and twisted his beard and said, "You are Shen Mu?"
Shen Mu said: "That's right! Lord Murong, Shen Mu came this time to persuade Nansang to surrender!"
Murong Huan shouted: "Presumptuous, I am the king of Yunzhao Zhennan, how can I surrender lightly!"
Shen Mu laughed loudly: "Don't you know what the situation is now? Ning Waicheng has been broken, what is the point of waiting for you to fight the trapped beasts." What's more, Shen Mu, I am not talking about transactions with the prince in vain. Lord Wang, please take a look clearly, who are these six or seven hundred people behind Shen Mu?"
Yan Shun whispered in Murong Huan's ear, and when Murong Huan heard this, his face was shocked: "Shen Mu, good boy! In this way, if this king wants Juan and them to live, there is only one way to open the door and surrender?"
Shen Mu said: "The old prince is so thoughtful, he can see the stakes at a glance. That's right, as long as the prince surrenders, Shen Mu guarantees that none of these officers and soldiers will die...... If the prince doesn't surrender, I can't guarantee how long they will live. Oh, by the way, there is another thing that the prince also thinks about, Yu Yong and Lord Yu's daughter are also in our hands, I heard that she is your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door. If the prince wants future generations to spread gossip or something, he doesn't have to open the city and surrender!"
When Murong Huan heard this, he said angrily: "Shen Mu, you ......" He was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing when he said this. On the side, Yan Shun hurriedly held Murong Huan and patted his back.
Murong Huan froze and continued: "Shen Mu, I didn't expect this king to be defeated in the hands of you, a nobody, if there is an old gentleman, ...... Why not!"
