Chapter 158: Wait for the Net
Captain Park sneered: "General, now that the matter has come to this, haven't you thought of leading your brothers to break through and retreat?" Of the 3,000 men, there are only 1,000 left now, and 2,000 have died in the battle, do you really want everyone to bury you with you? Li Tong, how selfish are you? You want to seek fame and fortune, brothers don't stop you, but you can't use everyone as a stepping stone, right? Which of the brothers has no parents and brothers, which one has no relatives, and who deserves to be used as a stepping stone for you to climb up? ”
Li Tong's face changed greatly, and he scolded sharply: "Pu Gang, are you crazy? ”
"Yes, I'm crazy, I wasn't crazy before because I was too cowardly, many of us regard you as the eldest brother, but you use us as a tool to get promoted and make a fortune, and now you are a general, a marquis, what about brothers? Dead and dead, crippled, many brothers have followed you for so long and haven't had a full meal! ”
"We don't want to fight anymore, and the rest of the brothers don't want to die, so we decided to open the city gate and surrender, and ask General Li to put down his weapons, and wait for tomorrow dawn, we will take General Li to open the city gate and surrender to the Flame Army outside the city!"
Li Tong's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that these people already had plans to surrender, and they wanted to be unfavorable to him, although he had been vigilant and precautionary before, but these days of fighting made him so busy that he had forgotten about this matter.
"Pu Gang, you are bold!"
"Hmph, if you don't dare to kill me sooner or later! Brothers, take Li Tong, follow me, Captain He, and Captain Mo to surrender tomorrow, everyone has a share in the reward of the Flame Army, and I will do what I say! ”
Under the orders and promises of Captain Park, the sergeants he brought with him picked up swords and guns and rushed towards Li Tong.
Li Tong pulled out his sword and was furious: "Dare to betray the Lord and rebel, it is really a crime that deserves death, kill——"
"Kill-" The soldiers and defending sergeants on Li Tong's side picked up their weapons and fought with the sergeants brought by Captain Park, Captain He, Captain Mo and others.
There was chaos on the city wall, and in the shadow of swords and blood, screams, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of human tissues and bones being cut off by successive generations were all heard.
Screams kept on people falling, and their bodies were soon stained red with blood.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Li Tong's generals rebelled and fought with him at the north gate, which eventually turned into a large-scale infighting, and such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of the patrol cavalry of the Flame Army outside the city, and the news was sent back to the camp as quickly as possible.
When Qin Feng heard the report of the sentry horse, he was so shocked that he couldn't help but turn over and get up, could it be that the psychological offensive he arranged at any time had played a role?
After a short period of thought, he immediately ordered to send additional troops in the direction of the various gates of Yecheng again, this time to carry out an ambush to prevent anyone from breaking through at night.
In addition to giving this order, Qin Feng also brought Lu Sheng over.
"I've seen the lord!" Lu Sheng walked into the camp tent and saluted Qin Feng.
Qin Feng said: "At this time, there is infighting in the city, I suspect that there are people in the city who want to rebel, it seems that there are serious differences of opinion within the defenders, and they have to use the method of rebellion to solve the problem!" No matter who they fight, no matter who they win the final victory, the winning side must be a miserable victory, it is estimated that there are not many people left in the end, and it is unlikely that they will choose to stay and hold on, they are likely to choose to break through tonight! ”
"I've made arrangements to prevent them from breaking through, but there's one thing I'm worried about, I want you to send someone to complete a mission!"
Lu Sheng clenched his fists: "Please give an order from the lord, and your subordinates will never give up!" ”
"This task is very important, there are a lot of grain and grass and ordnance left by the Cao army in the city, these grains are enough for 50,000 Cao soldiers to eat for three months, we must ensure that these grains and a large number of ordnance are not set on fire by them before the Cao army breaks through, your task is to send the most elite Eagle Eye guards to find a way to sneak into the city to protect that batch of grain and grass, as long as someone intends to set fire, even if all the people sent are dead, they can't let them succeed!"
"Subordinates obey!" Lu Sheng agreed, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Since the lord is so worried about this batch of grain, grass and ordnance, why don't you support the chaos between the two sides in the city now, and wave his troops to attack the city overnight?" At this time, the defenders in the city were only afraid that no one would hold on to the city defense, wouldn't it be just when our army took the opportunity to enter? ”
Qin Feng shook his head: "You think about the problem too simply, first of all, we are not sure whether this infighting is true or false, if it is fake, if we rush in, we will definitely fall into the trap of the other party!" Secondly, even if the infighting in the city is true, it is very difficult for our army to attack the city at night, first, many people in the army have night blindness, and they can't see anything at night; The second is that the time is too hasty, I'm afraid that before we can enter the city, the infighting in the city will have stopped! ”
Lu Sheng clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates understand, so I will immediately arrange for the most effective Eagle Eye Guards to sneak into the city to protect the grain, grass and ordnance!" ”
After the order was issued, Qin Feng personally led people to the north gate, and at this time, the shouting and killing in the city had gradually weakened, and finally slowly disappeared.
Qin Feng waved his hand, and the team behind him slowly retreated until it was hidden in the darkness.
A lieutenant couldn't help but ask Qin Feng: "Lord, why are the most troops deployed outside the north gate, does the lord guild think that if someone in the city wants to break through, they will break through from the north gate?" But the North Gate here is the most fierce, the most disturbance, if the humble is the winning side, and plan to break through, will definitely not go to the North Gate, but to take the South Gate or the West Gate to break through, after all, those two directions are the safest! ”
Qin Feng said: "But you are not the general of the Cao army in the city, the general of the Cao army will think like this, now the north gate is making the biggest noise, it must have attracted the attention of the enemy, if the enemy guesses that I want to break through, he will definitely lay a heavy ambush at the south gate and the west gate, because that side is the opposite direction, people will definitely think that I will break through to that side, I will do the opposite, and break through in the direction they think I can't choose!" ”
The captain scratched his cheeks, but thought in his heart, what if the general of the Cao army didn't think so?
Qin Feng actually didn't have much certainty, he didn't know who and who was in the city, and he didn't know who would win in the end, let alone whether the other party would choose to break through, and if he broke through, he would choose which side to break through, and he was also betting on the psychology of the other party.
According to the thinking of ordinary people, in the case of the enemy army encircling the city for a long time and attacking the city for many days, the direction of the breakthrough will instinctively choose the city wall that has not been attacked, because the enemy army cannot be seen outside the city wall during the day, and this time lasts for a long time, and people who want to break through will subconsciously think that there is no enemy army outside that side of the city wall, which is the best direction to break through and escape.
