Chapter 410 Battle of Fengqiu County (6)
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, Shen Mao and his son arrived in front of the army early to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender.
"Soldiers in Fengqiu City, I am General Shen Mao of Yilin Guards. I know that most of you were forced to follow Xia Yuan in rebellion. His Majesty has decreed that as long as you take the initiative to open the city and surrender, what happened before There will be no prosecution and everyone can retain their original military positions.”
"Soldiers, don't worry. I'm still Dayan's general. Your Majesty doesn't even hold me accountable for being a hypocritical general. You must be the same when you come here."
"Yesterday afternoon, the 50,000 troops sent by Xia Yuan to reinforce Fengqiu City were wiped out by my army, Dayan. More than 10,000 of them were killed, and the rest all surrendered. I, Shen Mao, was one of them."
"Since ancient times, rebels have had no good end. Those who achieve great things should comply with the people's wishes. Now that Dayan is in the prosperous times, the people's minds are determined. Xia Yuan goes against the will of heaven and goes against the will of the people. He is doomed to fail."
"We, Dayan, have Tianbing Guards and an army of 400,000. A small Fengqiu City cannot stop it at all. It will be a matter of time before the false prosperity is destroyed. Do you want to be buried with a traitor?"
……
Shen Mao's words of persuasion to surrender came, and the Sheng army soldiers guarding the city wall all whispered to each other and discussed...
"Brother Wu, I think what General Shen said is reasonable. We used to have an army of 110,000, but now there are only more than 50,000 left. Yan Jun has not even lost a hair. If this continues, sooner or later we will have to fight. Killed by a bomb."
Wu Qi nodded, "Now our reinforcements have been wiped out by Yan Jun, and even the general has surrendered. If we continue to defend this city, we will all die sooner or later."
Ding Dapeng looked around, and then said cautiously: "Brother Wu, there are parents, wives and children at home. What will they do if I die!"
"Brother Ding, I have seniors and juniors, why don't we find an opportunity to lead our brothers to Kaicheng and surrender!" Wu Qidao.
Ding Dapeng nodded, "The surrender needs long-term planning. We must not act too hastily. Once the news leaks out, it doesn't matter if we die, I'm afraid it will also affect our family."
"Brother Ding is right. We will guard the city gate in the second half of the night. Then we will discuss it with the brothers. If the brothers agree, then we will open the city and surrender." Wu Qidao.
Ding Dapeng nodded, "Okay, that's it."
At this moment, Xia Wu's sedan suddenly appeared on the city wall. Ding Dapeng and Wu Qi immediately stepped forward and bowed as soon as they saw it, "Young General Wu Qi and Ding Dapeng of the Royal Forest Guard pay their respects to His Highness Prince Chang!"
Xia Wu sat down on the chair with the help of the sergeant, then raised his head and looked at the two of them, "Wu Qiding Dapeng, you two immediately spread the message and said that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, so that the soldiers should not believe Shen Mao's lies. "
"Yes, His Highness Prince Chang! I will give you the order right now."
Wu Qi and Ding Dapeng both cupped their hands, turned around and left quickly...
Shen Mao, who was trying to persuade Xia Wu to surrender at the foot of the city, recognized Xia Wu who appeared on the city wall at a glance, and immediately said: "Long time no see Xia Wu. I heard that your leg was broken by a piece of wood. You must take care of yourself." !”
Xia Wu's face darkened and he cursed loudly at the city: "Shen Mao, you shameless traitor, you first betrayed Yan Guo and then betrayed me, Da Sheng. You are a capricious and despicable person. You'd better not fall behind." In my hands, otherwise I will kill you alive."
"Hahaha……"
"Xia Wu, the era of your Zhao family ended more than 120 years ago. How dare you, a seventh-grade county lieutenant, to call yourself the king in front of me? You don't want to be fooled. What kind of virtue does your urine reflect on you?"
"you……"
Xia Wu's face turned red, he pointed at Shen Mao under the city wall and shouted loudly: "Archers, prepare to shoot this traitor to death for me."
As soon as the sergeant on the city wall raised his bow and arrow, Shen Mao and his son immediately urged their horses to return to the military formation.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A hail of arrows shot down from the city wall and landed behind Shen Mao and his son.
"Boom boom boom..."
The enemies took action, and the artillery battalion also opened fire. As soon as the cannon sounded, Xia Wu quickly left the city wall with the help of his sergeants.
Subsequently, hot air balloons also began to take off from the north of the city, and a new day of aerial bombing began again...
Time passed little by little, and a day passed before I knew it.
Yan Junzhongjun camp.
After dinner, Huangfu Gongcheng, Cheng Wuwei, Xue Yu, and Lin Feng sat together again to discuss the war.
"My dear friends, Tianbingwei has launched a four-day bombing of Fengqiu City. The enemy is estimated to have suffered more than half of its casualties. When will we launch a general attack?"
Lin Feng immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you must also know that the Shen family and his son persuaded them to surrender before the battle this morning. Without reinforcements, the enemy's army will inevitably lose morale."
"Now, the defenders in Fengqiu City have no hope. If they continue to defend, their entire army will be annihilated. They must either retreat or surrender. There is no third way."
"I estimate that there will be chaos in Fengqiu City within at most two days. At that time, we will take the opportunity to launch a general attack and capture Fengqiu City in one fell swoop."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Cheng Wuwei and Xue Yu both stood up and cupped their hands, "I second my opinion!"
"Your Majesty, we don't have to worry about attacking the city. We have plenty of bombs anyway. The longer we delay, the better it will be for us," Xue Yu said.
"Your Majesty, the number of defenders in Fengqiu City is decreasing every day. This feeling of waiting to die is terrible. Not everyone in the defenders is willing to die for the Zhao family. Marquis Jiangling is right. If Xia Wu doesn't withdraw his troops, , the possibility of soldiers mutinying is very high," Cheng Wuwei said.
Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Cheng Aiqing, you order people to observe Fengqiu City day and night. Once there is unrest in the city, you will immediately command the army to attack the city."
"Sir, obey the order!"
At dusk, the defenders at the south gate of Fengqiu City began to change their defenses. Wu Qi and Ding Dapeng led their troops to take over the city defense, and then they began to convene a group of captains under their command to talk.
"Everyone, we are all very aware of our current situation. Our 50,000 reinforcements have been wiped out by Yan Jun. Fengqiu City must not be able to be defended. Do you have anything to say?" Wu Qidao.
As soon as Wu Qi finished speaking, Qin Shuo immediately stood up and said: "General, there are only more than 30 soldiers left in the hands of the one hundred sergeants under my command. This battle cannot continue like this, otherwise we will all die sooner or later. Let’s just surrender in Kaicheng.”
As soon as Qin Shuo said these words, the scene fell into silence. Once the surrender was revealed, it would be a serious crime that would punish the nine tribes. No one among the captains present dared to express their stance easily. Qin Shuo was Wu Qi's cousin, and he So he was the first to stand up and express his opinion. This was what Wu Qi had discussed with him in advance.
"Everyone, General Wu and I know your concerns. Let's show our hands. Those who agree to surrender to Kaicheng please raise your hands." Ding Dapeng said.
Ding Dapeng, Wu Qi, and Qin Shuo raised their hands first, and then all the captains present also raised their right hands one by one.
Wu Qi's face lit up, "Okay, since everyone agrees to surrender, the matter is settled. I will go out of the city now to contact Yan Jun, and then we will open the city gate and let Yan Jun enter the city."
Wu Qi took out the rope he had prepared in advance, then fixed the rope at the crenellation of the city wall, grabbed the rope with both hands, and began to walk slowly down the city wall...
