Chen Mao had no intention of leaving the other party any time to prepare.
What kind of peace talks are there? Isn’t it just a tactic to delay the war?
Haha, these are all leftovers from playing when I was young!
The imperial court was working hard and was well prepared. In addition to its troops and equipment, it also had the determination to complete the battle.
Therefore, the Ming army used their strongest firepower as soon as they came up. Artillery shells were poured on the city top as if they were free. The defenders in the city suffered. In less than a day, the bunkers on the city top were basically blown to pieces, leaving casualties and casualties.
Countless.
It's a pity that most of the artillery pieces were allocated to the emperor's main force. Despite his hard work, he was only allocated twenty pieces.
Otherwise, with one wave of offensive, the city would have been broken long ago.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Ming army, Bai Yisaha personally led the counterattack. The bloody battle lasted until dark, and the Ming army finally retreated.
However, this is just the beginning.
On the second day, before dawn, the Ming army's artillery roared again.
Baiyi Saha was going crazy. Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, he hurriedly lifted the ram out.
"Sir, think of a solution quickly!"
Gongyang Ju pretended to be calm, but he was feeling panic in his heart.
The Ming army is completely unreasonable and will fight when they come up. What can I do?
"Since the Ming army does not agree to negotiate a peace, why not...surrender!"
"Surrender?"
Baiyi Saha's eyes burst out with anger, and he asked you to make suggestions. You just surrender?
"Master Pingzhang, please don't panic, what I'm talking about is... a false surrender!"
"How to feign surrender?"
"It's nothing more than a drag, pretending to lower the table first, dealing with the opponent, and dragging it until the main force comes back."
Bai Yisaha frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "Well, I'll trouble you sir to write a surrender form!"
So, amid the roar of artillery fire, Gongyang wrote a more than 2,000-word surrender form.
"Lord Pingzhang, please take a look!"
Bai Yisaha felt dizzy when he saw these Chinese characters for "Zhou Zou", and immediately said: "The Ming army's offensive is fierce, and people need to send out the surrender as soon as possible!"
Gong Yangju said: "This is a serious matter, so let me go through it myself!"
Bai Yisaha said in astonishment: "Sir, will you go there in person?"
Gong Yangju sighed and said: "If it were anyone else, I'm afraid the Ming army wouldn't believe it so easily. I'm willing to be a pioneer and risk my life to persuade the Ming army to retreat and repay the kindness of General Gasilan." "So...very good!"
Bai Yisaha was actually a little moved. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, all the soldiers in the city were not as good as a scholar.
Gongyang raised his take-off and landing watch and said: "In order to convince the Ming army, Master Pingzhang should not send anyone to escort him. I can go alone."
Bai Yisaha was even more moved. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, sir!"
A white flag was raised on the city wall, and finally, the Ming army's offensive slowed down.
Immediately afterwards, the defenders at the city gate made way, and Gongyang, wearing a blue Confucian shirt, slowly walked out of the city gate.
"On behalf of the soldiers and civilians in the city, I am here to beg for surrender!"
Bai Yisaha looked at Gong Yangju's back on the city wall, feeling so grateful that he actually shed two tears.
The gentleman is so...unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness!
Soon, Gong Yangju was taken to the Chinese army's tent.
Chen Mao looked around and asked: "Are you Han?"
The ram then knelt down and burst into tears.
"Student Gong Yangju was originally from Liangzhou. He was captured ten years ago. In order to take revenge, he had to bear the humiliation and humiliate himself. Today, he saw the power of the heavenly soldiers. He was so happy that he pretended to offer a plan to surrender. Finally, he escaped from the tiger's mouth and returned hope.
The general takes you in!"
Chen Mao frowned and said angrily: "What are you talking about, fake surrender?"
Gong Yangju hurriedly explained: "General, please calm down. This is the student's plan. He will first offer a plan to feign surrender, so that the rebels will relax their vigilance, and then use the plan to kill the rebels and break the city!"
Only then did Chen Mao understand and asked, "Tell me, how can you pull this off?"
Gongyang took out the surrender form and said: "The defender of the city is Bai Yisaha. This man is brave but not wise. The general only needs to reply with a letter saying that he is willing to accept the surrender of the rebel army. The student will go back and offer another plan.
Encourage Baiyisaha to take advantage of the general's surrender to suddenly launch an attack. When the time comes, the general only needs to ambush him in advance and annihilate him in one fell swoop, without any effort!"
Chen Mao nodded and said, "Will Bai Yi Saha listen to you?"
Gong Yangju hurriedly said: "Our army's offensive is fierce and the city is about to be broken. The rebel army has no way to retreat and will fight to the death."
Chen Mao thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Okay, when things are done, you will benefit a lot!"
Gong Yangzhu bowed down and said excitedly: "Thank you, General, for your support!"
Half an hour later, the door of the Ming army camp opened wide.
Gong Yangju was still alone, calm and relaxed, and slowly returned to the city.
The commander of the Suzhou Guard, Hu Lin, couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Master Marquis, do you think this guy is reliable?"
"Are you worried that there is some fraud involved?"
Hu Lin nodded and said: "This person seems to have a pitiful background, but he can step by step from a prisoner to the position of military advisor. If you think the city is very deep, you have to guard against him."
Chen Mao smiled faintly and said: "Even if it is really a false surrender, it is just an extra day of breathing. If this person sincerely surrenders, he can avoid a lot of battle damage. Why not wait for him for a day?"
"The Marquis is right, General Mo will prepare now!"
Gongyang returned to the city and immediately presented Chen Mao's reply to Bai Yisaha.
"Congratulations to Lord Pingzhang, the Ming army has indeed fallen into the trap!"
Bai Yisaha was very happy and asked: "What should we do next?"
Gong Yangzhi said calmly: "I have made an agreement with the Ming army. Tomorrow outside the city, the opponent's leader will surrender in person. Master Pingzhang quickly prepares. When the time comes, capture the thief first and capture the king. You only need to capture the opponent's leader, and the rest
If a person throws a weapon into a trap, he will not dare to take action."
"Catch the thief first, capture the king..."
Baiyi Saha's eyes are shining. Whether defeat can be turned into victory depends on tomorrow!
That night, everything was peaceful inside and outside the city.
Early the next morning, the city gates opened wide, and Gong Yangju was the first to leave the city.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming army lined up on both sides, ordered the defenders in the city to put down their weapons, and lined up to leave the city.
Under the surveillance of the Ming army, the city defenders headed by Bai Yisaha began to walk out of the city gate and followed the guidance of the Ming army to the open space outside the city.
However, they waited and did not see the Ming army generals coming to accept the surrender.
On the contrary, the Ming army was ready, fifty steps away from them.
Bai Yisaha was full of doubts, but saw Gong Yang looking at him from a distance.
Suddenly, an ominous premonition came to my mind.
Could it be...
At the same time, I saw the Ming army on the periphery throwing some things towards me.
It looks like a brick...
Baiyi Saha suddenly became very angry. They all said that the Ming Dynasty was a land of etiquette, but this approach was really unscrupulous. Do you still want to be hit with a brick if you accept a surrender?
Boom!
Boom!
Those bricks falling from the sky suddenly exploded, and their power was comparable to the explosive bombs that attacked the city yesterday.
