Karamu's words were like an awl, deeply hurting Palama's heart.

He knew that Kalamu was right. Now he has few soldiers and few generals and is trapped in the lonely city, and he has no way to escape. However, can he really surrender to the Tang army?

Balama was unwilling to do so.

As the son of Prince Li Daishan, he certainly knew that if he rebelled and surrendered to the Tang army, it would undoubtedly be a great slander for his entire family, and it could even be said that it would bring endless disasters and troubles to the entire Prince Li family.

It can be imagined that Dai Shan's strategy of betting on both ends of the head and rat was originally very fragile and dangerous, which made the narrow-minded and suspicious Dorgon have many doubts about his entire family. He only temporarily put the Prince Li family members at the sight of the two red flags coming to help him. Such a fragile balance will definitely be completely broken by his own abandonment and surrender.

At that time, his wife and children will probably be unable to be safe, and the entire Prince Li family will be implicated in Guangzhou because they are involved in the enemy. In the future, Dorgon will definitely kill and punish them heavily.

Thinking of this, Balama suddenly couldn't help but shivered.

He suddenly thought that although Haicheng is like a lonely boat struggling in a storm, it seems very dangerous, but it is not a complete ending, nor is it without the capital to fight to the death.

Because, when Balama saw that there were no heavy artillery used to attack the Tang army, in other words, the Tang army now only had the ability to siege the city, but because of the lack of artillery fire, it was absolutely impossible to take the attack immediately.

Without heavy artillery to attack the city, it means that the Tang army would undoubtedly have two options to capture Haicheng. One is to cut down trees nearby and temporarily form siege equipment, so that ant siege will be launched after about a week.

The other road is to siege Haicheng for a long time, hoping to run out of food in the city and then force the defenders in the city to surrender.

Neither of these two roads could cause a serious blow to Haicheng in a short period of time. The main general Balama had enough time to fight against the Tang army.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Tang army may wait until the snow stops before transporting the artillery from Yaozhou to start attacking Haicheng. But even so, the time the Tang army has to spend considerable, enough to make themselves wait for reinforcements to arrive with peace of mind.

Although the two whistle cavalry he sent would most likely be taken down by the Tang army's light cavalry, because there were whistle cavalry sent by Yaozhou City before, Dorgon would definitely get the news of the loss of Yingkou and would definitely send reinforcements to the south.

As long as the reinforcements sent by Dorgon arrived, he could join forces with the reinforcements to attack the Tang army internally and externally. Then, he could not only defend the Haicheng city, but also defeat the Tang army and annihilate its army, thus making unparalleled contributions.

Thinking of this, Balama had made up her mind and an inexplicable ruthless look surged on her face.

He cleared his throat and shouted loudly at Kalamu under the city: "Kalmu, you are a shameless person who sells your owners and seeks honor, how can you still have the face to talk to me? Thinking back then, you entered the pass with Tan Tai and were in the west city of the town. In order to survive and gain reuse and future in Nikan, you will betray the Qing Dynasty and sell your owners and seek honor. The main general Tan Tai was dug by Li Xiao, so cruel and vicious. You are so cruel and vicious. Not only do you not want to avenge your master, but you help the evil, and use Tan Tai's life and the future of the entire army to dye yourself a red head, which is worse than a pig or a dog!"

Balama paused and continued, "Kalamus, you are now worthy of being used by Li Xiao, and you are so arrogant. Do you think you are so awesome? Humph, you are such a shameless villain. In my opinion, you are even more disgusting than the maggots in the pit! If you hadn't been farther away, I would have to shoot you to death with an arrow before I could relieve my hatred! I will tell you another thing, I want our army to surrender, and I want my noble descendants of Aisin Gioro to serve the humble Han dog Li Xiao, but it was a dream!"

When Balama said this, she sighed a long sigh, and the expression on her face was extremely resentful.

When Karamu heard this, his expression on his face was very calm. It can even be said that he had no fluctuations in his expression at all.

After being the envoy of persuading surrender for so many times, Kalamu's mentality has long changed from being angry at the beginning to being calm as calm as usual. Now, he does not care about the angry words of the city guards at all, and even feels as peaceful as if he is at peace.

Kalamu smiled softly and said, "Okay, very good. What you said is passionate. Since you are determined to die for the Qing Dynasty, how can our army fail to fulfill you? Then you can wait for the city to break up and die all of you. When it comes to the butcher's knife-holding, don't blame me for not reminding you now!"

After Karamu said this, he didn't say much, and immediately took a few guards and hurriedly rode his horse to report to Li Xiao.

"Report to Lord Li, this guy Ba Lama is obsessed with it and insists on fighting against the heavenly soldiers. The persuasion is ineffective. It seems that he can only attack one way." Kalamu whispered.

Li Xiao frowned slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said lightly: "Balama is now strong and hard-toothed, just because the city is strong, and our army does not have enough artillery to attack the city. However, his stubborn resistance cannot be resisted for long."

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Tian Wei next to him interrupted: "Mr. Li, is it necessary for our army to immediately transfer the artillery troops from Yaozhou City after the siege of the city?"

Li Xiao shook his head slightly: "No need for now. Now that our army is here, the most critical step is to surround and attack the reinforcements of the Qing army and eliminate the upcoming Qing army. If the reinforcements of the Qing army are destroyed, then Ba Lama will definitely be brave. Under the huge pressure of our army, it is very likely that he will surrender or internal changes. If he does not surrender, it will not be too late to draw reinforcements from Yaozhou City."

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Tian Wei and Kalamu were both silent and went down to work hard without mentioning them.

When Li Xiao commanded the entire army to surround the entire Haicheng like an iron barrel, he personally led the light cavalry to advance northward and cut off the enemy's retreat in Haicheng, Liu Guoneng, deputy mayor of Xingzhong Town, who was quickly discovering the Qing army's whistle cavalry who were galloping north in the distance and informing Liaoyang of the news that Haicheng was besieged.

He immediately thought that these two Qing army whistle cavalry were most likely to carry important information, so he immediately ordered that more than 100 most elite Flying Harrier Light Cavalry be dispatched urgently and chased them all.

More than a hundred flying cavalrymen, like arrows leaving the string, flew towards the two whistle-riding cavalrymen who were heading north.

These two whistle cavalry who went out of the city to deliver letters were already scared to death when they saw so many Tang army cavalry chasing themselves. After fleeing in a hurry for a while, they were shot into the mount by the Tang army's flying arrows and quickly captured, and were immediately taken to the captain who was leading the team to pursue him.

"Do you have any letters, hand them over immediately, so you can avoid death!"

His face turned red with a snowmock look on his face. The captain of the Tang army cavalry shouted loudly at the two Qing army prisoners who were kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, yes, you are the Haicheng guardian Ba ​​Lama, here is the letter written by him. Please read it."

One of the whistleblowers shouted in horror, and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms with his body temperature, and handed it to the captain of the Tang army in fear and trepidation.

Captain Tang opened the letter and looked at it roughly. Although he couldn't quite understand it, his face immediately showed a look of joy.

He knew that this letter of Balama's request for help would definitely have extremely useful information for the Tang army's next action, so he immediately ordered the two whistle cavalry and the letter to Liu Guoneng, deputy mayor of Xingzhong Town.

After these two people were taken to Liu Guoneng, the captain of the Tang army's cavalry immediately handed the letter to Liu Guoneng, and at the same time briefly told the process of capturing them.

Liu Guoneng smiled and after looking roughly at Balama's letter of help, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Since the Qing army could send people to seek reinforcements, then there were not many surrendered Manchu cavalry among their subordinates? If they were asked to pretend to be messengers and patrol the area north of Haicheng, once they saw the Qing army reinforcements coming, they would pretend to ask for help and report to them, and then take them into the ambush circle they had already prepared. Isn’t that a great thing?

Thinking of this, Liu Guoneng did not hesitate anymore and immediately came to the west of Haicheng City to meet Li Xiao without hesitation.

After hearing Liu Guoneng's report, Li Xiao's eyes lit up.

This idea is good!

Originally, Li Xiao thought that if the Qing army reinforcements arrived, he would have to divide his troops and fight against the opponent in the field. In this way, even if he could defeat the Qing army reinforcements with his military advantage and these elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield, without the support of firearms and fighting purely with blood and courage, he would undoubtedly bring considerable losses to himself. This was an extremely helpless but must-be faced for the Tang army.

After all, if the Qing army reinforcements could be destroyed and the entire Haicheng was completely controlled by the entire Haicheng, even if it was difficult for the Yingkou area to advance north due to weather reasons, it would be a solid foundation and it would be absolutely no problem to persevere until the beginning of the next spring. From this point of view, the Tang army had to eliminate the Qing army's reinforcements, and there was no room for choice.

Now, if Liu Guoneng's plan to lure the enemy can succeed, then the Tang army can successfully lure the Qing army into the ambush circle with ease, and then calmly annihilate it. This is undoubtedly a more effective and convenient way to kill the enemy for the Tang army. Even from the perspective of reducing combat losses, Li Xiao felt that it was very necessary to try it, which was very worth it.

After Li Xiao was determined, he immediately issued an order to let Liu Guoneng be fully responsible for the plan of luring the enemy into combat, and he would arrange all the ambush locations and how many ambush troops needed.

Seeing that he was so respectful to Li Xiaoxin, Liu Guoneng was very grateful, so he immediately went down to work hard without mentioning it.

Speaking of which, Li Xiao was lucky. After only one day, the Tang army waited for Duoduo to lead his troops to help. The arrival of the Qing army in this unit was exactly what Li Xiao wanted.

So, the Tang army immediately set up an ambush in the Bailang Valley north of Haicheng, and asked their whistle cavalry to pretend to be messengers, inducing reinforcements to ambush and encircle Duoduo here.

The reason why I chose Bailang Valley is that it is the only place to go from Liaoyang to Haicheng, and the other is that it is closest to the Tang army that surrounded the city, which is actually the best choice for setting up an ambush.

The ambush plan went very smoothly. From luring the enemy to letting 10,000 people from the front of the Qing army enter the White Wolf Valley, they were completely under the control of the Tang army. The moment the huge rock at the entrance of the White Wolf Valley was pushed down, the Tang army's ambush plan was declared completely successful.

Countless stones covered with thick snow were thrown from the mountain by the Tang army's auxiliary soldiers, and immediately separated the Qing reinforcements in front from the main troops behind them, and there was no possibility of escaping. It had become a complete shutdown and a dog-killing force.

"Mr. Li, these Qing gangs are very cunning and guarded, and deliberately divided them into two parts. Unfortunately, only half of the Qing army has entered our army formation now, and the latter part has not entered the valley, which is a pity."

Liu Guoneng, who was standing next to Li Xiao, pointed to the panicked Qing army in the valley, but did not have too many smiles on his face, but was full of regret.

Li Xiao smiled slightly: "There is no perfect thing in this world. If we wait for the Qing army to enter the valley later, the Qing army in the front had already left the valley, and our army could only ambush half of it. If the Qing army in the front was allowed to rush into the city and join the Qing army in the city, then our army would be in great trouble. In this case, if nearly 10,000 Qing reinforcements entered the city, then the Haicheng Guardian Ba ​​Lamako would be confident. Our plan to force him to surrender again would be absolutely unsuccessful. In this way, it would be absolutely not a good thing for our army."

Liu Guoneng nodded and took Li Xiao's words and said, "Mr. Li said, if the Qing army in the front can be completely eliminated, then for half of the Qing army reinforcements in the rear, they are now blocked by huge rocks and cannot rescue them, so they can only take a detour to Haicheng. In this case, it is probably a few more hours to spend. Or Duoduo recognizes the situation and knows that Haicheng cannot be saved, so he might simply retreat to Liaoyang alone, which is also possible."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "The country can say that Duoduo has only these two options available now. In my opinion, Duoduo, a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, will naturally see the current situation clearly. He will also know that if he wants to protect himself, the best opportunity is to take advantage of our army's time to deal with their rear troops, and hurriedly retreat back to Liaoyang from here to preserve half of his strength, and hope to attack Haicheng again in the future. This should be the best choice Duoduo can make."

Li Xiao paused for a moment, and another ruthless look flashed in his eyes. He shouted loudly to Liu Guoneng beside him: "Guo Neng, listen well, I will order you to destroy all the Qing troops in the valley within one hour, and there must be no mistakes."

Liu Guoneng bowed solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord Li, I guarantee that Guo can complete the task and will live up to his entrustion!"
Chapter completed!
