Chapter 1367 1043. Attacking Shicheng County (Part 2)

Even Zhang Hongwei sighed next to him, "It's indeed a pity."

At this time, Zhang Hongwei suddenly slapped his horse and headed towards the army.

Although he knew it was almost impossible, he still wanted to give it a try.

Hong Wutian and Jian Shisi quickly followed.

The three of them went to the front of the army, and then arrived at only a hundred meters away from the city, just on the side of the moat.

At the top of the city wall, Bai Zhengxin narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the end, he did not order the soldiers to shoot arrows. His eyes were just staring at Liu Zhuwen wearing ink armor and cloak.

It can be seen from the style of armor that Liu Zhuwen has a great status in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zhuwen also looked at the city and shouted to Bai Zhengxin: "It is the general trend that our army has broken the city. Why should Lord Bai resist stubbornly?"

But Bai Zhengxin did not answer because he was determined to die and felt that there was no need to talk to Liu Zhuwen at all.

Liu Zhuwen shouted again: "Does Lord Bai have only loyalty and righteousness in his heart, but does not take the lives of the people in the city to heart? Why bother to pull them to die for Duan? I think our emperor has heard of benevolent politics and loving the people. I am Liu Zhuwen, the commander of the Tianxian Army of the Song Dynasty, and is willing to make an oath for the emperor. If Lord Bai leads the crowd to surrender, our imperial guards of the Song Dynasty will not destroy every grass and tree in the city. If we violate the oath, I, Liu Zhuwen, will pay for his life, how about?"

Bai Zhengxin couldn't help frowning slightly.

Liu Zhuwen's words did come to the point.

Bai Zhengxin actually really didn't want these people to resist the Song army on the top of the city. However, he was unable to persuade these people before.

On the city wall, there were more people who were moved by Shicheng County garrisons and the people.

If you can live, no one wants to die.

The commanders of the Song Dynasty made such a vow. In their opinion, surrender may be a good choice.

As long as the Song army did not massacre the city, no matter who he was the emperor, they should live the same way as they should?

In the past, Zhang Jue led Zhennan Military Region to attack Dali, but did not poison the people throughout the process. This is not a secret in Dali.

These defenders and the people felt that what Liu Zhuwen said should not be false.

When Bai Zhengxin was silent, a lieutenant general hesitated to him and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, otherwise we... the Emperor of Song was not a tyrant, maybe..."

Bai Zhengxin's eyes suddenly became sharp and he glared at the general, "Unfaithful and unrighteous! As a general, you are a general who eats the king's salary, and are you qualified to say such things to him?"

His eyes swept over the people on the top of the city, "Do you think you are the same as these villagers?"

But then, he suddenly placed the long sword on his neck.

A sword passed by.

The sword fell to the city and seemed so desolate.

"Mr. Magistrate!"

Bai Zhengxin's body fell softly towards the ground amid the screams of everyone.

When surrendering, he was sorry to the Dali royal family. If he didn't surrender, he could not sorry to the people on the city, so Bai Zhengxin made a choice like A Shu.

He took his own life and left the opportunity to choose to those on the city wall.

In fact, he had chosen to surrender in his heart. However, with his personality, he did not allow himself to surrender.

Perhaps no one expected that the direction of things would exceed the expectations of Liu Zhuwen and Bai Zhengxin.

Although Liu Zhuwen showed surprise at the moment when Bai Zhengxin committed suicide, he could probably guess why Bai Zhengxin committed suicide in his heart.

He thought that Bai Zhengxin committed suicide and the defenders at the city wall would no longer have psychological pressure and would definitely choose to surrender.

But just as Bai Zhengxin's body fell, a general at the top of the city shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

This is undoubtedly Bai Zhengxin’s loyalty.

He blamed Liu Zhuwen all for Bai Zhengxin's death. In his opinion, if Liu Zhuwen did not come outside the city to persuade him, the county magistrate would not choose to commit suicide.

Dozens of arrows shot towards Liu Zhuwen with the sound of breaking through the air.

This is entirely the conditioned reflex of the soldiers under the general after hearing the order.

The artistic conception of Hong Wutian's body emerged, and the fourteen swords danced like a waterfall. Dozens of arrows were thorned into powder before the two of them, and they could not hurt Liu Zhuwen in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, there was a cannon fire in front of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

It was the order given by Zhang Hongwei.

He didn't care what happened on the city wall. For him, the defenders on the city wall dared to shoot Liu Zhuwen, which was a provocation.

A dense rumbling sound spread across the city.

The scene of smoke and dust spreading above the city in an instant.

There were screams of screams.

"don't want!"

Liu Zhuwen turned around, but naturally there was no time to stop him.

He closed his eyes slightly, looked back at the city wall, and could only look at the Shicheng County garrison on the city wall, and the people staggered and fled under the cover of artillery fire.

After all, it was a confrontation.

Of course this is not what Liu Zhuwen is willing to see.

The best result is to be able to defeat Shicheng County without bloodshed.

Liu Zhuwen slapped his horse back to the army.

He returned to Zhang Hongwei and others, and did not intend to blame Zhang Hongwei and others. Because he knew in his heart that the army ordered fire and was completely worried about the safety of Liu Zhuwen.

"Stop the gun!"

After two rounds of cannon fire, Liu Zhuwen loudly ordered the fire to stop.

The sound of cannons stopped.

The city head, which was bombarded by hundreds of artillery shells, became devastated in this moment.

There were many bloody corpses lying on the top of the city.

Many Shicheng County garrisons and people watched this scene as hell like on earth.

They had never seen the grenade launcher of the Song Dynasty, and had never thought that there were such powerful weapons in the world.

How did this make them defend the city?

Do you want to shoot a cart?

They had just had no time to launch thunder with their guns. After two rounds of guns, the guns on the top of the city were almost destroyed.

At this time, the Song army's hot air balloons were still in the air and did not attack the city!

"Put down the suspension bridge! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

In the army, Liu Zhuwen shouted like this.

"Put down the suspension bridge! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The soldiers of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty yelled, and such a voice soon rang out in the army like a tide and spread towards the city.

The city was extremely silent.

Just a few minutes have passed, and amid the creaking sound, the suspension bridge on the south city wall was finally slowly lowered.

The Shicheng County garrison walked out of the city.

Bai Zhengxin is dead and there is no hope of defending the city. They have no need to persist.

Their loyalty to the Duan clan of Dali was not as strong as that of Bai Zhengxin who had to die for the Duan clan of Dali.

Surrender is really expected, but reasonable.

The defenders who walked outside the city gate had already abandoned their weapons.

When Liu Zhuwen saw this scene in the army, he finally breathed a little relieved.

Although some unexpected situations just happened, the situation eventually developed in the direction he expected to see.

He waved his hand, and some soldiers in the army ran towards the Shicheng County garrisons in front, and then surrounded the Shicheng County garrisons.

In front of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, he led his troops to An Dongnan, who was facing the city, and led his Tianwei army soldiers to the city first.

The soldiers stepped onto the suspension bridge and slowly disappeared into the city gate corridor.

Then in just a moment, the Dali military flag was withdrawn from the city of Shicheng County.

A flag is erected at the top of the city wall.

It is the national flag of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, and Miao Cheng successfully captured Shicheng County without losing any force.

This is the first city in Dali to be hung with the Song Dynasty flag.
