Chapter 683 Wolf and Dog (Continued)
At the top of the mountain city, Yuan Gai Suwen watched his army escort the captured Zhou soldiers into the city, and his joy was beyond words: he chose to surrender, and the Zhou army sent elite main force here to take over defense, but the result...
As a result, he was ambushed by the ambush he arranged on the way. According to the good news sent back by the generals in front, the Zhou army could be said to have been full of all the troops.
In this battle, our side captured countless caps, especially obtained a large number of "thunder in the palm" and new firearms, and even powerful long-range weapons - artillery. It was a great victory.
With these weapons, our side will no longer be in an embarrassing situation where he can "can only be beaten but not fight back" when confronting the Zhou army in the future.
Thinking of this, Yuan Gaisuwen lowered his head, looked at the "Six Signs" in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
This weapon, commonly known as "Liu Xiangzi", is officially named "Revolver gun". It is a weapon seized from a Zhou army general who died in battle in this battle. It loads six rounds and pulls the trigger, which is six rings.
Every sound can take a person's life.
Countless Goguryeo warriors were shot and killed by Zhou Bing in a melee. Before they could use their martial arts and strength, they just hated the battlefield.
Looking at the six bullets in his hand, Yuan Gaisuwen had to admit that the Zhou army was extremely well-equipped and had such good workmanship. It is conceivable how powerful his armament was.
If our side does not rely on the mountains to deal with the other side, but chooses to fight head-on on the plain, there is no chance of winning at all.
But now it’s different. With the seized weapons, I can hold on here for at least a long time.
Yuan Gaisuwen thought so that someone would put away the six signs, look at the army entering the city, and turn to the conference hall.
Zhou Jun advised him to "abandon the dark and turn to the light". To be honest, this is a good choice. After all, the national strength of the two countries is very different, and the gap in military strength is also very large.
But, this doesn't mean I'm going to be a dog for you!
The mountains and rivers here are the foundations built by our ancestors. Why should we give up people? I have soldiers to fight under my command, so why should I surrender and be a dog for you!
Yuan Gaisuwen had no intention of surrendering from the beginning because he felt that relying on the mountains, he could still deal with the Zhou army and long-term war, and consumed it until the other party could not hold on to the logistics and retreated in disgrace.
However, Jin Mingcheng's persuasion of surrender gave him a chance, so he set up a trap and cut off the messenger's head, making Jin Mingcheng believe it, and then told the commander of the Zhou army to send troops here quickly.
Then he set up an ambush halfway and annihilated the opponent's elite main force in one battle. It is conceivable that this great defeat would inevitably disrupt the deployment of the Zhou army and drag the war down.
Walking on the road, Yuan Gaisuwen remembered many things. Of course, he did not forget the humiliation he received when he succeeded as the Eastern Lord. Of course, he wanted to be a big brother, and also Mo Lizhi.
However, he had to rely on military merits to bring back the honor belonging to the Yuan clan and convince everyone.
Instead of surrendering unyieldingly, it would bring shame to the ancestors and ancestors.
Mo Lizhi of Goguryeo may have a pomp and enjoyment that is not as glorious as a high-ranking official in Zhou State, but a free wolf is much better than being a dog with a chain on his neck.
Yuan Gaisuwen walked to the chamber to welcome the generals who had won the victory. When he walked into the hall, he saw that among the generals in the hall, there was a hair-haired man.
But there is no general under my command with such a hairstyle?
Yuan Gai Suwen was stunned at first, but soon realized that there were many "generals" and "general soldiers" in the Zhou army. Perhaps these were the Zhou army generals who turned against each other in front of the formation.
Yuan Gai Suwen felt that since the other party was a surrender, he would have to be comforted. After all, these people were very familiar with the Zhou army's tactics. If they could get their sincere help, they would definitely help him drive the Zhou army out of the mountain.
He did not hesitate to step down and face him forward, and wanted to treat the virtuous and humble.
Several generals who led the ambush this time came forward, and Yuan Gaisuwen was waiting for his confidant to introduce these "generals" to him, but his confidant introduced him to the other party.
What's going on?
Yuan Gaisuwen was shocked. Before he could react, he saw a "master general" coming forward and laughed: "Master Yuan abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and the last general was ordered to come to pick him up. Please rest assured!"
What...what? Response?
Yuan Gaisuwen's mind was blank. Seeing this, the guards on both sides realized that something seemed wrong, but they didn't know what to do.
Rebellion! You were bribed by the Zhou army! You led the wolf into the house! You brought the Zhou army in!!
Yuan Gaisuwen was shocked and quickly reacted. He couldn't help but hold the sword handle, but was held tightly by the confidant generals and cried: "Young Master! Now that things have come to this point, why bother? Why bother!"
"The king is stupid and unruly, why should the young master be buried with you? Mo Lizhi is in the nine springs, so he must not want to see the young master's accident. Please put the overall situation first!"
Yuan Gaisuwen, who was betrayed by his own confidant, was so angry that he couldn't speak well. He was held tightly by his confidant, and wanted to draw his sword but couldn't move.
Several Zhou army generals saw that the young coach was smart and were mistaken for intelligence. They set a trap but stepped in and did not say it out loud.
When the Dynasty was dealing with Tuyuhun in the West Sea, the imperial court found that it would be useless to just buy a few upper-class figures such as Khan, because if the "Chinese people" were dissatisfied, even Khan would not be able to sit firmly.
Therefore, if you want to win people's hearts, it is useless to just buy a few upper class. Only by dealing with the "middle class", that is, the nobles (mostly), will it be effective.
However, the cost of buying a country is too high and it is completely unnecessary. However, when fighting, it is relatively difficult to buy a main general of an army.
Kim Mingcheng contacted Yoon Gaisuwen and tried his best to persuade him to surrender. At this time, others secretly contacted Yoon Gaisuwen's generals, and were also persuading the other party to understand the current affairs.
The lobbyists took advantage of Wangchuan's battle and used both soft and hard skills to make these generals who saw the general trend make wise choices.
The strength of the Zhou army was no longer something that the Goguryeo army could resist, and they could not escape even if they wanted to, because the peninsula faced the sea on three sides, rather than the vast grasslands.
Then, if you are a wolf for Goguryeo, the consequence will be death; if you are a dog for Zhou, you can still be a rich man.
I believe that the five nobles of Goguryeo will think clearly about the choice between life and death.
The five tribes, namely the five major tribes, are the foundation of Goguryeo's founding country. The Yuan family, which served as the Eastern Adult for several generations, may choose to live with the country. As a wolf, he would rather die than surrender.
However, the ordinary nobles of the five tribes did not need to die together. For many of them, it is not impossible to maintain a decent position (relatively) and be an obedient dog.
This is the heart of the people. When the main generals of an army begin to surrender, it is useless if the commander has the determination to fight to the death.
