Chapter 715: Persuasion

Originally, there were many defenders here, and they were prepared for the destruction of the city gates, but under the sweep of the imperial fire, they turned into ashes before they could scream. 【No Pop-up Novel Network】/

"Kill!" With a roar, the Blade Assault Group that followed Song Li rushed into it from the broken city gate and guarded the city gate hole.

"Rush with me!" Lu Qian in the distance looked stupid, he never dreamed that the indestructible lock demon gate would be destroyed so easily. However, he did not forget Song Li's order, shouted, rushed out on horseback, and led his vanguard battalion to brave the rain of arrows and rush to the city gate that had already been captured.

The Blade Assault Regiment only attacked the fortifications and would not participate in frontal battles, so even if they took the city gate, they did not rush into the city, but only held this place, providing a support point for the follow-up troops to expand the results of the battle.

Although Lu Qian and the others lost a lot of people when they rushed over, after all, they were not as powerful as the Blade Assault Group, but they still entered the city gate hole very quickly, and then like a knife inserted into the enemy's heart, they began to rampage through the city, killing and killing.

The city gate was broken, and the soldiers in charge of the siege next to him also rushed over with their generals, pouring into the lock demon pass like a tide.

The follow-up battle will take a long time, after all, if you want to capture a city, it is not enough to break a city gate, but from this moment on, the situation between the two sides has been reversed, and the initiative has been taken by Song Li at the moment when the city gate is broken.

This is Song Li's tactical thinking, blitzkrieg.

Concentrate the most powerful forces, seize a point, and break through with a thunderous blow, under such an offensive, all the existing strategies to defend the city are scum.

Song Qiuming, the iron tiger, also had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat in the face of Song Li's blitzkrieg.

In addition to the blitzkrieg, Song Li also did not forget the decapitation tactic, although he would not use the Blade Assault Group to charge into battle like an ordinary soldier, but it was still no problem to use it to capture Song Qiuming.

Although the strength of the guards around Song Qiuming is not bad, they are still much worse than the Blade Assault Regiment.

In addition, this battle was lost so badly and aggrieved that Song Qiuming was already blocked by the Blade Assault Regiment in his command before he could react, and he was helpless to become a prisoner.

Soon, Song Qiuming was brought to Song Li.

"General Song, I have admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect that the first time we met, it turned out to be on ......the battlefield," Song Li said with a smile.

"Don't say it, I'm not going to surrender. Song Qiuming didn't wait for Song Li to finish speaking, and directly expressed his determination with a resolute attitude.

"Relax, don't be so nervous. Song Li was not angry at all, and said: "To be honest, it is not uncommon for you to surrender or not, you are very brave and loyal, I appreciate this very much, but it is just appreciation, and I don't want to take you under my command, understand?"

"What are you looking for me for?" Song Qiuming asked unhappily.

If Song Li came to persuade him to surrender, although Song Qiuming would refuse, he would feel much more comfortable. But when he heard Song Li's words, he suddenly felt a feeling of being despised and made him slightly angry.

"Just talking to you, don't think too much. Song Li said with a smile.

At this time, someone had already set up a table and chair on the side, Song Li pointed to a chair opposite and said: "Please take a seat, let's chat while eating, we can chat outside this lock demon pass, watching the spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting and killing, this is the first time that the two of us have never been seen before, and it may become a legend in the future." ”

Song Li said, he was already seated, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then looked at Song Qiuming and said, "I know that you lost to me this time, and I must be unconvinced." ”

"Hmph. Song Qiuming snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

How could he be convinced, he was quite well prepared, and even thought that he had taken into account all the offensive methods that Song Li might take into account and also made countermeasures, thinking that even if it was not foolproof, it would not be easy to lose, as long as the situation could be stalemate, then his intention would be achieved.

Originally, he thought well, but the battle situation suddenly got out of control on the first day of the fight, completely out of his original expectations.

When Song Li sent people to attack the city in the morning, Song Qiuming was still very disdainful, feeling that what he had heard about Song Li before was a bit exaggerated, and when he arrived on the battlefield, it seemed that Song Li was just a mediocre person who followed the rules.

After having such an idea, Song Qiuming even regretted it slightly, he really shouldn't have overestimated Song Li, so he took a relatively conservative way of sticking to the lock demon pass.

But by the afternoon, the situation was chaotic. Song Li took the lead and led people to destroy the city gate, and then the vanguard battalion entered, and the entire situation that was originally favorable to Song Qiuming suddenly collapsed to the point that it was difficult to save.

Of course, Song Qiuming believed in his subordinates, knowing that they would definitely not surrender easily, and would definitely continue to fight.

But he also knew that even if all his 200,000 troops were killed, it would not benefit the entire battle situation at all, especially for the current Lock Demon Pass. As soon as Song Li's army entered the pass, it meant that the door to the imperial capital was opened, and even if his own soldiers risked their lives to stop it, they could not stop the momentum of their march towards the imperial capital.

The general trend is like this, and it is by no means something that he alone or the 200,000 elites under his command can stop.

It is precisely because he thinks clearly that Song Qiuming is depressed and aggrieved now. This battle, he lost the nest.

"It's okay if you're not convinced, I don't care. Song Li laughed, very proud.

The winner is the king and the loser is the thief, he has won now, of course he is qualified to look at Song Qiuming's unlucky appearance and laugh. This is the right of the victors.

"Hmph. Song Qiuming snorted again. At this moment, he didn't want to talk to Song Li, and there was really no other way than to fight with a cold snort. As a loser, he had little capital to say anything about Song Li's way of winning. As a general, Song Qiuming understands better than anyone that on the battlefield he has always only talked about victory and defeat and not about rules, as long as he wins, then any means are correct, otherwise, it is wrong.

The battlefield is such a cruel and realistic place, Song Li won and he lost, so even if he was not convinced, he couldn't say anything, and the more he talked, it was just a humiliation.

"Come, come, drink. Song Li smiled and said: "Getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, I have taken the lock demon pass, and your duties are over, wouldn't it be good to drink and chat now." ”

"If you break through the city gate, can you take the lock demon pass?" Song Qiuming sneered: "My 200,000 army is all elite, not pigs to be slaughtered, even if they are pigs, there are 200,000 heads, which is enough for you to work for a while." ”

Seeing that Song Li said it easily, Song Qiuming finally couldn't hold back and retorted.

What Song Li is waiting for is for him to speak, as long as he is willing to talk, then it will be easy to do. Even if he can say it again, it will be useless for this piece of wood, but if Song Qiuming is willing to open his mouth, then Song Li will have a way to make him comply. "You're right, these 200,000 elites are indeed very troublesome, street battles are very difficult to fight, casualties must be very heavy, although the number of soldiers on my side is large, but they are all rookies who have not fought any hard battles, if they really fight with your 200,000 people, they must be very disadvantaged, but ......" Speaking of this, Song Li dipped his fingers in some wine, drew a simple diagram on the table, and said: "I didn't plan to fight them from the beginning." ”

Song Qiuming was stunned for a moment, looked at the map drawn by Song Li, and found that it was the terrain of the Demon Pass, and he didn't understand what he meant.

Song Lidao: "When I left the imperial capital and went north, I once passed by the lock demon pass, and I was thinking at that time, if I raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, how could I go to the imperial capital as quickly as possible, and I had already thought about it at that time, that is, to do this." ”

Saying that, Song Li drew two straight lines on the map just now, and said: "The lock demon pass is very large, and the emperors of the past dynasties have continuously built it, and it has turned this place into a huge fortress, if I really fight for this place with those soldiers of yours, even if I put all the people in my hands into it, it will be like throwing sand into the water, and I won't be able to make much splash." ”

"Hmph. Song Qiuming snorted coldly, with a hint of smugness on his face.

"But why should I fight with you for this place?" Song Li said, pointing to the two lines he drew just now: "I took this place, not to occupy here, but to pass, as long as I take it and hold the main road, it is enough for my soldiers and horses to pass, then the purpose has been achieved, as long as my army passes the lock demon pass, it will not be far from the emperor." ”

"As for this lock demon pass, your people will guard it. Song Liman said indifferently: "Although the war is about conquering cities, it would be too stupid to care too much about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, let alone ......."

Song Li pointed to the suggestion map of the lock demon pass and said: "This place is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack, but on the other hand, the people guarding here are actually following up a huge prison, surrounded by mountains on one side and city walls on both sides, my soldiers blocked this side, your 200,000 people are turtles in the urn, I don't need to fight them, just trap them inside." ”

"I know that there is enough food and grass here, even if you have 200,000 people, you can eat for more than half a year, but I'm not in a hurry, half a year is not enough, as long as I block this place, three or five years of blockage, I don't believe that these 200,000 people can go without eating or drinking, after all, one day, they will either starve to death, or die of internecine strife, 200,000 people, is it a lot?"

After speaking, Song Li drank all the wine in the cup, smiled slightly, and said, "Pour the wine." ”

"You...... You, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" Song Qiuming's eyes widened, and he looked at Song Li and said, "This is 200,000 people." ”

"So what?" Song Li smiled coldly and said: "You are also a person who leads troops, you have fought on the battlefield I don't know how many times, and there are many people who have been killed with your own hands, why do you want to be such a woman, you are right, this is 200,000 people, but don't forget, there is a saying that each is his master, you are now helping the Holy Emperor to fight with me, that is my enemy, treat the enemy, do I need to be merciful?"

Song Qiuming wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

The thought that his 200,000 sergeants would be trapped alive made his throat dry and choked, as if something was blocking it
