Chapter Ninety-Four: Siege!
Su Chen looked at the person with half-open eyes, and before the person reached the military formation, he quickly dismounted, and bowed down from afar.
"Don't release arrows, don't release arrows, I am the messenger of King Xuchang! I have something important to see General Su! ”
Song Shide looked at Su Chen and asked, "General?" ”
"The two armies are fighting and don't come to the envoy, let him come over, and I'll see what the king of Xuchang does?"
Song Shide then rode his horse to the front of the military formation and brought Zuo Yansong in.
Zuo Yansong can be regarded as having seen the world, but after seeing Su Chen, he was still shocked.
Unexpectedly, this Su Chen actually looked younger than the rumors.
Zuo Yansong deliberately greeted him, flattered to the extreme, knelt down towards Su Chen, and kowtowed his head loudly.
Su Chen was also stunned when he saw it, and immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, why does the envoy kneel like General Ben? Could it be that the king of Xuchang knows that he is not defeated and I want to surrender? ”
Zuo Yansong raised his head and said flatteringly: "No, no, no, Zuo Yansong is here to make peace this time!" ”
"Summation? Is there any difference between this summoning and surrendering? Su Chen asked rhetorically.
"Naturally it is different, my prince and Zhao are both courtiers of the first yuan, although the two princes have had many disagreements before, but they have made a big move, this is the first time, and now the winner has been divided, my prince took the initiative to seek peace, I hope to sit down with Zhao and talk calmly."
"If Prince Zhao is willing, my prince is willing to set up a table of wine in Yecheng to welcome the arrival of Prince Zhao, and the two princes will talk about wine, what else is there in this world that can't be said?"
Su Chen sneered after hearing this.
"Zuo Strategist, let me tell you a story, there is a tiger who repeatedly steals your cattle and sheep, causing you a lot of losses, you finally caught this tiger, but this tiger said I will never dare again, you let me go!" If it were you, would you like to put it? ”
"Besides, your words are full of pits, King Xuchang has no intention at all, now Yecheng is the territory of King Zhao, why does King Xuchang talk about setting up a banquet in Yecheng?"
Zuo Yansong saw that the pit he dug in his words had been lightly pointed out by Su Chen, and he was not surprised in his heart, anyway, if the other party was fooled, it would be reasonable for the other party not to be fooled.
"General Su, this Yecheng has belonged to the Central Plains since ancient times, and my prince Xuchang is also known as the king of the Central Plains, this Yecheng belongs to the Central Plains and naturally belongs to my prince, as for the battle of Yecheng a few days ago, after the two princes talked about the wine, there will naturally be an explanation!"
"General Su is very brave with his soldiers, and now he is famous all over the world, but General Su still can't represent Zhao Wangye, so General Su is now stationed outside the city."
"Send a small soldier and hurry to Jiangnan Province to tell His Royal Highness King Zhao the meaning of my prince. His Royal Highness King Zhao's business, general, can't you be this master, right? ”
Su Chen sneered: "If my guess is right, King Xuchang is now in a hurry to ask the court for help, let me send a messenger back to report to His Royal Highness King Zhao, and the time for this round trip is also five days!" ”
"I'm afraid that in five days, the imperial court should also make some moves, do you think that the general can't see it? As for what you said about whether I can represent His Royal Highness King Zhao, haven't you heard that the general will be subject to the orders of the king outside? ”
Zuo Yansong was shocked, he never expected that this Su Chen actually knew about King Xuchang's request for help, it seems that this person is indeed difficult to deal with.
"General, having said that, my prince and His Royal Highness King Zhao are both courtiers of the first yuan, and the courtiers are swords and soldiers facing each other, isn't this to plot rebellion? I hope that the general can think carefully about the name of His Royal Highness King Zhao in the future, and don't let Shi Bi write bad words behind the name of His Royal Highness King Zhao! ”
When Su Chen heard this, he laughed again.
"The great husband stands between heaven and earth, and if he does a small thing, he still has to take care of him? Isn't it a big husband? Although this King of Xuchang is called a courtier of the Chu Yuan, he is actually a great scourge of the Chu Yuan! ”
"Xuchang is located in the Central Plains, and the Jingshi is far away in the north of the Central Plains, this is a certificate to say that it sounds good, if it is not good, this Xuchang is a sharp blade in the throat of Chu Yuan!"
"My Royal Highness's cavalry said that it was for personal gain, but it was more for the sake of the early Yuan Dynasty, the king of Xuchang was a traitor and a scourge, but he didn't care about the life and death of the people, how could such a villain take the throne? My Royal Highness, this is for the Qing Jun's side! ”
"Zuo Strategist, you go back now and tell Hao Ruwang, the king of Xuchang, and tell him to wash his neck and wait for me at home, Su Chen's big knife is about to be put on his neck and take off his head!"
"You!"
Zuo Yansong fluttered and stood up from the ground, pointed at Su Chen and scolded.
"Su Chen, how can you be so bold!"
"Tell you, I am not only bold, but also hard-handed, this Xuchang City, I will definitely capture it within two days! Tell the king of Xuchang my words 1510, if you really want to surrender, go to Jiangnan Province alone and be captured, I will plead with His Royal Highness King Zhao of my family, and provide for him to die of old age! ”
Zuo Yan was relieved, but he was helpless, it was worth waving his sleeve robe, getting up and leaving.
Su Chen raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, there were still about two hours before the mountain set.
Even if you can't capture Xuchang City in two hours, it's always okay to give it a try.
"The people will listen to the command! Have the catapult ready with the dirt bomb. Immediately after a stick of incense, the city will be attacked! ”
"Order!"
Su Chen's hole card is his homemade earth bomb, but this time he added something interesting to the earth bomb.
What he asked for from King Zhao was hundreds of catties of gravel and dozens of barrels of dung oil.
The gravel and dung oil were wrapped in wooden balls that were one size smaller than the earth bombs, and the outside of the wooden balls was full of gunpowder, and the outside of the gunpowder was mainly a special sphere of explosives sewn from wood and rivets.
If this explosive is dropped in the city, it will explode in an instant, and the debris that bursts out of it can take the lives of dozens of people in the blink of an eye.
The manure oil is a bit of a biological weapon, and if it explodes, it will be heated to the boiling point at the moment of the explosion of gunpowder.
Even if you don't die, you will be burned by this dung oil, and the feces mixed in it can make people infected, which can really be described as a ruthless and poisonous earth bomb.
These are Su Cheng's biggest hole cards, and these are Su Chen's reliance to gnaw down Xuchang City.
Xuchang City is so tall, Su Chen is reluctant to let his soldiers attack the city in the flesh, since Xuchang City is not easy to attack, then directly on the hole cards, give them a little color to see.
"Launch!"
Su Chen gave an order, and more than a dozen catapults swung together, and the huge force threw the ignited earth bombs into Xuchang City.
