Chapter 299: Soldiers approach the city, sheep enter the tiger's mouth(1/2)
The officer of the Longlin Guard and the subordinate of Chen Yu, Chang Xingye stared at the towering Yangzhou City with the city walls, and his heart was surging.
Without extraordinary people, this kind of defense of high walls and deep grooves, not to mention hundreds or thousands, even tens of thousands, can only be sieged for a long time and slowly eroded. If the guards of Yangzhou City do not have any problems, they will not fall.
But... with a team of more than 200 warriors, the results of the battle were completely different.
There are more than 3,000 mobile troops in Yangzhou City, mainly Dragon Scale Guards, City Guards, General Mansion Guards, etc., and are elite soldiers who can be dispatched at any time.
The administrative staff of about 10,000, government yamen runners, local thugs, etc., have the combat power and defense, but the offense is insufficient.
At the same time, give the defenders two days to mobilize tens of thousands of civilians to come to the city to defend.
Judging from the book power, the power of Yangzhou City has an advantage, and both the number of soldiers and the number of soldiers are stronger than the Shenyu side.
But, but!
Just like the emperor is actually playing games on the balance beam, the general cannot command every warrior like an arm commander. Since the war between Gao family and Shen Yu started, they have been defeated repeatedly and have lost their spirits. The people on the city are afraid that they have lost their courage.
As the times develop, the army of ordinary people is gradually unable to do so.
A martial arts master could not beat a hundred warriors on the ground, but a hundred martial arts masters were wearing heavy armor, spears, and good horses. After cooperating with training, they could beat ten thousand ordinary warriors without masters to the point of being beaten to the point of being in a state of being unavailable.
The former is a person who faces countless swords, guns, swords and halberds. Without the time to breathe and recover, he will naturally be suppressed and attacked tightly, which is difficult to take into account. But what about the latter?
Once the number of warriors reaches a certain level, they can form powerful battle formations, armor, shields, heavy armor, spears... The strength gathered and combat power invested by one hundred warriors can easily tear through the barriers of tens of thousands of troops again and again, penetrate the enemy formation again and again, and defeat the army composed of ordinary people again and again.
The situation in which martial arts masters recorded in historical records has formed a large-scale team and were strangled by a large group of ordinary people.
"You can shout."
The lord Chen Yu behind him nodded with such command. Chang Xingye nodded.
He has ambitions and ideas, thank you for giving him such an opportunity.
He knew many people on the top of the city, and he began to name one by one, telling them that he was still alive and was valued by Chen Yu, and displayed the captives and heads under the city.
There are many high-ranking officials and nobles on the top of the city. These people used to be swaying in front of Chang Xingye, but now they all have their faces like white paper.
Lord Gao died, and his personal guards persuaded surrender at the city. So can Yangzhou City be saved?
All of this is like a dream for Chang Xingye.
He thought he would have to work hard for more than ten years and risk his success, but he did not expect that in just two or three months, the power of the Lord would develop to this extent!
Now it’s not just Chang Xingye, but the old brothers of Longlin Guard are all impressed by Chen Yu.
This miraculous victory has given everyone great confidence.
Moreover, Chang Xingye also saw the difference between Chen Yu and other people from some small things.
Chen Yu came back with a bloody package, saying that the tall and handsome man inside was the head, and then privately called Chang Xingye and others to explain the process of the matter.
The package was not Gao Dashu's head, but a pig's head with its nose cut off. It wrapped around the cloth. Chen Yu told everyone that Gao Dashu was still running away and asked everyone to find someone who looked similar to Gao Dashu's relatives, preferably Gao Dashu's relatives came out.
After hearing Chen Yu's orders, several people quickly completed the task and found a suitable head from the dead. The details of this matter were that Chen Yu did not cut off an ordinary person's head and put it in the package!
Whether it is traveling around the world or working under Gao Dashuai, Chang Xingye has never seen a superior like Chen Yu. He is not careful about the details of his big things, but what is the point of chopping his head at will?
But... Chang Xingye's heart was warm at that time.
It is Chang Xingye’s luck to be able to follow such a lord.
"Gao Shi has been killed by Master Xiong. Can you open the city gate and welcome the king's army??"
The head is fake, but it is stained with blood, pale blood loss and long hair to resist, so no one can tell the authenticity, and it will not make people look close.
There was noisy on the top of the city, and then Chang Xingye continued to shout.
"This is the imperial edict of the court. Why are you and others dissatisfied with appointing Mr. Chen as the governor of Zhenhai?"
When Chen Yu gave Yang Yuzhen a big Huandan to Yang Yuzhen, he asked her to help write a letter of appointment from the court to herself. It happened that Yang Yuzhen had several blank imperial edicts in his bag. This was not a formal imperial edict from the six ministries and the prime minister, but a private edict from His Majesty the Emperor. The purpose of granting Yang Yuzhen was to win over people from the south. Although the major forces in the south were too hard to wipe their butts, this was also an imperial edict.
After all, many people don’t know that there are various procedures for the imperial edict, and it is different. This way, many people think that the court has also participated in this matter.
"Gao Shi is completely conscientious and is stupid. He fled before the battle. You can go and see if Gao Shi in Yangzhou City is real and is he a fake? His weapon, the Ridge Spike, is still around, and so many personal guards have left?
Because he knew that he was not our opponent at all, so he left you to die, and do you really want to die with your family?"
After prideful words to the people in the east of the city, Chang Xingye said something about the surrender in the west of the city.
These words are ultimately one. Gao Dashen knew he was defeated and fled, and then was led by Chen Yu and killed.
Those who stayed in Yangzhou City were all abandoned. You are cannon fodder and abandoned sons. Now that Shen Yu is here, why don’t you surrender?
If you surrender, keep your original treatment unchanged. If you do not surrender, you will be killed!
The yellow flag roared violently behind Chang Xingye, and his heart was filled with incomparable excitement at this moment.
His lord, Chen Yu, is about to enter Yangzhou City!
...
The sky gradually became dark, and the lights on the city were brightly lit. From time to time, people gave delicious food to reward the soldiers on it. Women in cloak armor could even be seen walking back and forth one by one.
"Who is this?"
Chen Yu frowned and asked.
"That's tall and handsome wife. She's a little over thirty this year and she's a very good person."
Chang Xingye pointed at the real person and explained the power structure of Yangzhou City to Chen Yu again.
The unique boss of Yangzhou City is Gao Dashuai. He married the daughter of a local wealthy family and allowed the Gao family to take power, but he was always on guard against those people, including his son.
"Gongsun has a gentle personality, is very good to us, and is very fair in doing things. She is much better than those of the Gao family, she..."
A beautiful and gentle face appeared in front of him. Chang Xingye remembered Mrs. Gongsun. After the little maid was beaten to death by the coach, Mrs. Gao sighed and persuaded her husband, and took out the money to bury her well.
"It's her, I've seen it."
Chen Yu nodded. When he was lurking in Yangzhou City, he met Gao Shi's wife twice.
Once, this woman was serving porridge, and the other was talking to a warrior from another place next to the ring. When serving porridge, she stood there generously and gracefully, telling the people who drink porridge that some water conservancy and pipeline projects in Yangzhou City need people and are willing to work as a monthly salary.
Next to the arena, we talked about the customs and customs of Yangzhou City to warriors from all over the world, so that everyone could consider staying in Yangzhou. Chen Yu was also listening at the side, thinking that this woman was doing well.
The higher the person, the higher the person is, the higher the person is. Many people have lost their compassion and empathy for ordinary people. Many incredible things they do seem to be completely correct in their opinion, but in fact they are completely forced to rebel, and this woman is still very down-to-earth.
"It is normal for her to boost morale at the top of the city, but at this time, shouldn't she sit in the coach's mansion and take charge of the overall situation?"
Chen Yu frowned, but after thinking about it, he decided not to think about it for the time being, and he had a lot of things to be busy with.
For example, meeting messengers from all parties.
After arriving at the city during the day, Chen Yu did not break the city immediately, but asked Chang Xingye and others to publicize outside the city that Gao Dama was killed, how powerful his own strength was, etc.
At the same time, the death of Gao Damashiro was promoted, and he wanted to see if it could trigger civil unrest in the city.
"The Chang family said they would stay in the door and would not hinder the Lord's actions."
"The Guo family said that they have prepared personnel and once the master starts to act, they will cooperate immediately."
"General Chen rejected our kindness, but did not kill the envoy, but let our people go."
More than two million people gather in Yangzhou City. The city has a very large range. As long as the martial arts masters have tools, they can easily climb over the wall. It is not difficult for one or two masters to sneak into the city. What's more, people are panic at this time. There are always people who want to speculate, and there are always people who turn a blind eye and let one or two people in. They don't say much.
Moreover, not just a spy who entered the city, many forces have actively sent people to contact Shen Yu, expressing their willingness to discuss, or simply let the family's loyalty be taken in advance and take two boats.
Chen Yu has received six groups of such messengers.
"Which one is the next one?"
"It is the Gongsun family in the west of the city, that is, the grandmaster's wife's mother's home. They sent two envoys, both women, who are willing to talk to Mr. Shen."
The head of the Shuiyue Sword Sect stood beside Chen Yu like a maid at this moment. She was a very good person. She was nine years older than Bai Qingshuang. When she was young, she was a genius who used swords. Later, she took the initiative to become the head of the sect and was very good at handling all kinds of things.
Chen Yu did not refuse her kindness. Before the great cause was about to succeed, everyone was desperately expressing their talents, and Chen Yu was also happy to give her a chance.
"Can the Gongsun family betray the Gao family? Will the orphan girl and widow mother surrender?"
"The Gongsun family may betray the Gao family, but Gao family won't. I have seen that woman, gentle, virtuous and firm will. After Gao Shi's wife died, she became the main wife. She is a person who treats her seventy-six points and she rewards her ten thousand times."
"Um."
Chen Yu nodded, blinked his eyes, and his eyes fell on the two women.
They were still a hundred meters away from Chen Yu, waiting for Chen Yu to receive him.
"Okay, after they come in a while, remember to control their true energy in advance, especially the servant lady. It must be carefully controlled. There is something strange about these two women."
Chen Yu stroked his chin and said like this.
Three minutes later, two messengers came in, one was seventeen or eighteen years old, as heroic as white dew, and picturesque short-haired lady, and the other was a servant who was good-looking but had a brown face and thick hands and feet.
The person in front was Miss Seven of the Gongsun family, and the female masters in the family behind him. This time she came here on the order of the head of the family to understand the conditions of Shen Yu.
Her heart was full of uneasiness at this moment. Although she had participated in some family business negotiations, all the negotiations were different from what they are now.
By the way, the family is not without negotiation masters, but in the end she was letting her come because everyone in the family is in chaos now, and the beautiful girls can sometimes have miraculous effects.
Some advocate resistance to the end, some advocate seeking in advance, some want to escape with their families, and some suggest placing two boats...
But everyone knows that if you are not careful now, everyone will die without a place to bury them.
Under what conditions will the Shen Yuhui give up Yangzhou City?
To be continued...
