Chapter 917: Providence and Human Heart

The fall of Nanyang City in this way had a greater impact on the entire Liangzhou battle situation than Sun Ning had judged, and even exceeded many times.

With the rout and escape of some of the defenders of Nanyang, the various processes of the fall of Nanyang City and the strangeness in it will naturally be known to more people.

Otherwise, everyone may not care too much, but the sudden collapse of the city wall led to the sudden collapse of the seemingly impregnable city, which became the focus of everyone's attention, and also made too many rumors begin to spread throughout the Liangzhou territory.

For the people of this era, the flaws of the city, and the perennial soaking of the dark river, which caused the city wall itself to be strong and dry, soft and easy to break, did not exist at all. Especially after this news spread a few times, it rushed in the direction of Xuan Zhi Xuan.

Naturally, some people have come up with a seemingly "most reasonable" explanation for this huge change, and this is where Providence lies.

It was God, or the gods and Buddhas in the heavens who secretly helped the Vietnamese army to take Nanyang, so there was a huge change in the sudden collapse of a strong city wall.

As for why Providence will stand on the side of the Vietnamese army, it is naturally because God still recognizes Sun Ning, the son of the Great Yue. The Dayue Imperial Court is not exhausted, and there is a lot of prosperity.

After that, there was a further version of this statement, and some people had already begun to say it with noses and eyes, as if they were really at the scene, seeing the battle and the collapse of the Nanyang city wall-

"It was His Majesty the Emperor who saw that the city of Nanyang was strong and difficult to overcome, so he prayed to the ancestors of Dayue for help, and then saw His Majesty the Emperor standing in front of the team, and pointed to the city wall, and the wall of Nanyang West City completely collapsed in a roar, and buried the general Han Wenjie who had been defending it to the death!"

This completely unreliable explanation became the most mainstream explanation later, making everyone believe that this was the reason why Nanyang was easily taken by the Vietnamese army.

As a result, every time one more person heard and believed this statement, the prestige and influence of the Vietnamese army in Liangzhou increased by one point. After more than ten days, the news spread throughout Liangzhou and the surrounding areas, and it made everyone believe that the Dayue Imperial Court would inevitably be rejuvenated under the leadership of Sun Ning, and Liangzhou would inevitably be obtained by the imperial court.

With the spread of this statement, a fundamental reversal has taken place.

Originally, in the territory of Liangzhou, almost all the cities were making the last resistance, and they really did not give up an inch of land, so that the Vietnamese army had to spend a lot of troops to take the cities one by one. 33

But now, with the reversal of hearts, change has emerged.

In just half a month, eight cities have surrendered one after another, and five or six more cities are also in contact with the Vietnamese army, and they already have the idea of surrendering.

Perhaps some diehards of the Guo family still want to defend the city to the death, but his generals and the people of the city refuse to accompany him to die.

Because in everyone's thoughts, the emperor is the destiny of heaven, and even a strong city like Nanyang can be broken by him with one finger, how can these small cities of his own house block such a general trend?

It can be said that the capture of a Nanyang allowed the Vietnamese army to obtain not only a city and the abundant grain and grass materials in the city, but also the popular aspirations of the entire Liangzhou, as well as the bloodless soldiers of more than a dozen other cities.

When this result was passed on to Sun Ning, who was still resting in Nanyang, even he was a little surprised by this continuous good news.

However, he quickly accepted this result again, and used it to cheer up the three armies, preparing to take this opportunity to officially march to Liangzhou City.

Prior to this, although his army had entered the territory of Liangzhou, he had never really sent a single soldier against this most critical city.

That's because he knows that Liangzhou is the most difficult fortified city to overcome, and Guo Yan, Guo Han and others are even better at leading the army to fight, and he must not treat it lightly.

All the obstacles around must be cleared first, so that we can concentrate all our efforts to fight Liangzhou.

Therefore, even if he had successfully taken the crucial Nanyang, Sun Ning did not leave in a hurry to wave his army again, but temporarily stationed here to rest.

It wasn't until the good news came and he knew that the opportunity had appeared, that Sun Ning officially commanded Liangzhou City!

……

At this time, the city of Liangzhou was also a gloomy fog.

Guo Han never dreamed that the current situation would occur, and the loss of Nanyang was expected, but the problem was that the grain over there could not be destroyed in time, and the Vietnamese army was cheapened in vain.

What's more, now the attitude of the whole territory of Liangzhou towards the Vietnamese army has been completely reversed, and many cities have been surrendered one after another, which has completely ruined his original plan to use it to consume the enemy's strength and spirit.

If he hadn't remained quite calm, he would have believed in the so-called destiny.

Even Guo Han, the commander, had a ridiculous and powerless feeling, not to mention the other generals, soldiers, and the people of the city.

He didn't dare to let people investigate how many people in the city were secretly planning to surrender to the Vietnamese army. Anyway, judging from the performance of the worried generals I have seen so far, I can see that this figure is not optimistic.

"Why, do you really think that Nanyang's loss is caused by providence?"

Guo Han finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a deep voice The hall didn't say a word for half a day, only to see the panicked generals.

These people lowered their eyes, did not dare to make contact with him, full of emptiness, and whispered: "No, no...... It's just that I, a soldier in Nanyang, fell for the enemy's tricks. ”

That being said, they clearly don't think so in their hearts.

Guo Han snorted: "I know you feel afraid, but I can tell you that Nanyang City is just an accident, my Liangzhou City is thick and deep, and there are nearly 100,000 troops to defend it, and there are plenty of food and materials, enough to defend the enemy's food and retreat."

"So we will never repeat the mistakes of the past, and I hope you can work together with me to fight to the end!"

The generals are naturally only known for a while, but it is difficult to say how sincere they are.

And that's all Guo Han can do now, all he has arranged in the past are conventional means, who would have thought that there would be such an accident outside the routine?

After another repeated orders, he asked his subordinates to carefully lead their troops, strictly guard all important places in the city, and keep an eye on the enemy's movements at any time.

He had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before Sun Ning would officially lead the Dayue army to Liangzhou City.

Just when he finished pacifying his generals and planned to deal with some chores at hand, a cronie hurriedly came to the room: "Young marshal, Tai Lieutenant, he has an order, please go to the backyard to meet him, there is something important to discuss." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
