While talking, the two of them entered the handsome tent one after another.
Nan Yanxi looked at the two of them: "What, did it succeed?"
"Of course, it went very smoothly!" Situ Yan chuckled: "That traitor, he still wants to do good things when he is about to die."
"Not only did Sister Ye and I get scolded like crazy, but the garrison general in the city also heard it clearly."
"After an hour, even if they don't open the city to surrender, they will probably lose all fighting spirit."
"At that time, with just a little guidance, it will be easy to break out, and the difficulty of our siege will be greatly reduced."
Nan Yanxi nodded, stood up, and came to the sand table with Ye Zhiyu and Situ Yan.
After taking a closer look, he said: "Yes, only in this way can we prevent them from having the heart of a trapped beast and prevent them from fighting with us."
"And... maybe there will be unexpected surprises..."
Then he leaned back on the recliner again: "Just wait, it's still an hour away, we have to get ready anyway."
"After an hour, no need to talk nonsense, just start attacking the city."
"Zhiyu, come on, I'll take a nap first..."
Nan Yanxi didn't care about this battle against the enemy at all. After all, the contrast between the enemy and ourselves was too great, and Ye Zhiyu was here.
There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle, it is just a matter of time.
The Ming army under the city began sharpening their swords, reloading artillery shells and adjusting their angles, and prepared various siege equipment.
The battlefield once again fell into deathly silence. Everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
On the city, Situ Wen was holding a sword and wearing a military uniform, full of fighting spirit, determined to live and die with Liangzhou City.
But several generals behind him sneaked into an inconspicuous corner.
Several people were all seasoned and looked at each other, but they were all waiting for the other person to speak first.
After waiting for a long time, a younger general finally couldn't bear his temper and opened his mouth first: "Okay, okay, I'm the youngest here, I'll say the unpleasant things first..."
"What's the situation now? It's a matter of life and death! I think you all know better than me how powerful the Ming army's artillery is, right?"
"What's more, the reinforcements from Liangguan can no longer arrive. As long as we join forces, we can easily have an army of 300,000."
"And now that we are sitting on the land of Thirteen States, reinforcements and supplies will continue to be sent over, and we are now an isolated island."
"That's right..." After saying this, another more senior general sighed: "Think of how majestic I was in Daxia back then, but now I have reached such a situation."
"I don't know... whether we did it wrong or... others did it wrong..."
"Okay, old man!" Another general interrupted him: "Don't you just want to say that this situation is all caused by his... uh... it's all the Emperor's fault."
"That's right. Since the emperor came to the throne, he has been extravagant and squandered. He squandered all the money in the treasury in just two years."
"He dotes on the treacherous minister Xiang Tianxing and his family. He is obsessed with his concubine Xiang Ning'er and ignores the government affairs all day long. As a result, the government affairs are controlled by the treacherous minister Xiang's family!"
"I think back then, how loyal Mr. Jia was, but he was punished by this foolish... this foolish king and was imprisoned. He died in depression."
"Now, do we still need to follow him to death?"
"Yes!" The young general who spoke first spoke again: "And everyone has heard it. The princess personally promised below the city that as long as we capture Kaicheng and surrender."
"All soldiers, no matter how big or small, will be upgraded to one level!"
"I heard that the Ming Dynasty's troops are completely different from us in terms of treatment and prestige among the people."
"Over there, being a soldier is honorable, your family can get tax exemptions, and you will receive great care after you retire. All yamen errands at all levels must be given priority."
"And I also heard that the people there no longer pay taxes based on their capita, but they are also allocated fields, and they don't have to pay for schooling or medical treatment."
"With such a good future ahead of us, why should we sacrifice our lives for him, Situ Wen?"
"Besides, Situ Wen's throne may not necessarily be inherited sequentially. Didn't you listen to what Princess Yanyang said? What a cunning edict!"
After a pause, he turned to the old general and said, "I say, we have to make a decision quickly."
"Now we can all get together to discuss things, but when the Ming army's artillery fires, no one will be blown to pieces."
"If you want to talk again, you'll have to spend your next life..."
After saying this, all the generals looked at each other, and their eyes gradually became unkind.
On top of the city tower, Situ Wen was commanding the troops to prepare for defense, and was about to fight to the death with the Ming army below the city.
At this time, he was loudly giving orders to the guards around him: "Everyone, pay attention. Anyone who encounters cowardice will be killed without mercy!"
These personal guards were die-hard loyalists of Situ Wen and came from the former Imperial Forest Army of Great Xia.
Now he is also the last direct descendant around Situ Wen. He is usually arrogant and domineering, and often uses the label of rebellion to suppress other generals.
The officers in the army have been suffering from them for a long time, but they are helpless. After all, they are the emperor's personal soldiers.
At this critical moment, Situ Wen gave loud orders to intimidate other armies.
After all, the reality is like this. If any general is really dissatisfied and captures it and offers it to the Ming army, then Situ Wen will be finished.
Therefore, although I know that this group of people is usually arrogant and domineering, in order to maintain their authority, I can only turn a blind eye.
Situ Wen ordered loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of armor suddenly came from behind him, as if a large number of soldiers were coming.
Situ Wen subconsciously looked back and saw a group of soldiers filing in from under the stairs, instantly surrounding himself and the personal guards.
The leaders were none other than the former governor of Liangzhou and several of Liangzhou's guards.
Now, 70% of the troops in Situ Wen's hands are Liangzhou Army, that is, their subordinates.
At this time, seeing that they were menacing and coming with bad intentions, Situ Wen secretly screamed something bad.
He hurriedly lowered his head and said to the guards beside him: "Go and call back all the guards in the royal forest, and call the Yunzhou Army to escort you, quickly!"
"Yes!" The young general agreed, turned around and ran away quickly.
The governor of Liangzhou and others just watched with cold eyes, but did not stop him. They just cupped their hands to Situ Wen and said: "See your majesty..."
"Oh...my dear, I wonder why you brought troops here?"
Situ Wen pretended to be calm, but secretly ordered the personal guards to guard him in a defensive posture.
The governor of Liangzhou smiled faintly, stood up without kneeling, and just cupped his hands in front of Situ Wen and said: "If you step aside, I have come to ask for an order..."
"The Ming army under the city has fierce firepower and a large number of people. They are unstoppable! I wonder if your majesty has any good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
