Chapter 49: Dark Clouds Overwhelm the City
A letter of surrender written by Tian Xifeng was covered with the large seal of Yang Yinglong, the envoy of Bozhou Xuanwei and the private seal of Tian Xifeng, which means that this official seal has fallen into Tian Xifeng's control.
The above details: Yang Yinglong saw the army approaching, and the emperor's dream was shattered, so he committed suicide by hanging himself. Tian Xifeng, a woman, dared not fight against the heavenly soldiers, so she asked for surrender to the court. Then she listed the conditions. Yang Yinglong rebelled and died, so she naturally did not dare to ask for more. The main condition was to protect the lives of the Tian family and the Yang family.
General Ma laughed: "Yang Yinglong is dead, hahaha! I've saved me a lot of energy now! Tell my brothers that there is no need to build a trestle, haha, I'm going to send someone to send the surrender book to Liu Dadao immediately!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Yang Yinglong committed suicide? General, I'm afraid this is not believed!"
Ma Liying was stunned and glanced at him, saying, "Does Lord Ye suspect there is a fraud? Don't worry, if Yang Yinglong is not dead, Tian Xifeng is not really going to surrender. How long can this be hidden? At most, three or two days will be lost!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "That may not be possible! Does General Liu have the right to agree to the conditions for Tian Xifeng's surrender? He has no! If he wants to negotiate, he will have to stop the war; report the matter to Governor Li of Chongqing Prefecture. Does Governor Li have the right to pardon the death penalty of the rioters? No! This case must be reported to the court again! This time... Imagine, how much money and food will be spent on the court? God knows what will happen during this period?"
General Ma's face changed and he said, "This..."
Ye Xiaotian firmly did not believe that Yang Yinglong would commit suicide at this time. Yang Yinglong was the one who would not give up until the Yellow River. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. How could Hailong Tun be as stable as Mount Tai and commit suicide?
According to this inference, the more he analyzed the idea, the clearer he thought. Ye Xiaotian said: "And, look at the time, it is already dusk now, and it will be dark for a while. The letter will not be sent to General Liu tonight. And lord, you will inevitably be lazy because Tian Xifeng handed over the surrender letter. If Hailongtun sends troops to attack at night..."
General Ma was shocked and frowned and cursed: "Fortunately you reminded me that you almost fell for the evil woman!"
Ma Liying took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "Where is the messenger?"
The captain replied, "I'm waiting for a reply."
General Ma smiled grimly: "Reply to me? Behead him! Throw it into the mountain valley to feed the wolf!"
Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly and said, "Sir General, the two armies are fighting, and the envoys will come if they are not killed!"
General Ma said: "One side rebelled, is the thief who was conquered by my heavenly soldiers, and is worthy of being called the army with my heavenly soldiers? Go! Behead!" After that, he tore the letter to pieces and smashed it.
Ye Xiaotian was helpless with his anxious temper. Although Ye Xiaotian decided that Yang Yinglong would not commit suicide under such circumstances, General Ma's behavior...
Seeing that he disagreed, Ma Liying said, "The Governor has already ordered the order to not accept surrender. Have you forgotten? He just killed a letter sender, nothing happened!"
General Ma really believed Ye Xiaotian. After hearing his analysis, he immediately made such a decision. However, neither of them expected that Tian Xifeng would actually stock up on the front and back, and each sent a messenger to send the same letter.
Ma Liying reminded him that he was not fooled. It was dark after less than an hour. Ma Liying strengthened his defenses, but Wu Guang from Houshan was really the case.
Wu Guang was overjoyed when he received Tian Xifeng's surrender letter and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw and ordered people to report the victory to Liu Dadao. However, when the letter was delivered, it was already dark and the night in the mountains was coming quickly. The road to rushing to the mountain in the dark was too dangerous, so he had to decide to send another letter tomorrow.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
However, Tian Xifeng saw that there was no reply from the front mountain, but there was a reply from the back mountain. That night, she arranged all the troops to quietly descend the mountain and try to steal the camp.
Fortunately, Wu Guang was a veteran of all wars. Although he was full of joy and relaxed his vigilance, the necessary precautions did not decrease. On the periphery of his military camp, he not only dug a trench full of pointed wood, but also laid a wall of thorns.
That night, the local soldiers of Bozhou were preparing to attack the military camp at night. They cleverly passed the trench, but they had no good way to face the thorny wall. The fire was obviously not good, and the military camp would immediately find out that they could only find a way to dig a hole from the bottom and sneak in.
Although they were careful when they dug the hole, the thorn bushes were really hard to deal with, and they accidentally scratched their clothes and scratched their skin. A soldier in the camp accidentally discovered the shaking of the thorn wall. He thought he had scratched some prey, so he rushed to shoot an arrow. Benba looked at shooting wild game to taste it, but he didn't expect that the arrow would shoot a hundred households! (After the war, the young man was directly promoted and appointed to a hundred households because he discovered the night attack conspiracy of the Bozhou soldiers in time). He shot the arrow and screamed, and the sneak attack was exposed.
So, Tian Xifeng's delaying strategy only delayed the Ming army in less than half a day and failed. The next morning, Wu Guang, who was in a cold sweat, was angry and embarrassed. He drove away another Ming army that was preparing to fight on a rotating battle, and bombarded Hailongtun for another day.
After receiving the information from Wu Guang, Ma Liying, who was in the front, was even more angry and accelerated the operation of laying the plank road. It was not easy for him to lay the plank road here. Not only did he have to fight against the dangerous natural environment, but he also had to deal with the people sent to attack Bozhou at all times. However, Ma Liying, who was annoyed, also accelerated the progress. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that under the attack of the Ming army without any sacrifice, Hailongtun's fall was already a matter of time.
On the Hailong Tank, there was no longer the peace and quiet of the past. Everyone felt inexplicably irritable and even more exhausted. Liu Dadao's army took turns to attack the mountain. Not teaching the leisure on the mountain for a day was only one aspect. The bigger reason was that everyone on the mountain knew that the efforts they made were futile.
Yang Yinglong felt that the mountain seemed to be extremely crowded, and he wanted to enjoy a moment of peace. There were always countless people who came to report this and that to him, and nothing could make people happy.
Even when no one spoke, the only faces that fell into his eyes were Jiao Xu and panic that infected his emotions. He originally thought that he was using the mountain as the back garden and his work was extremely big, but at this moment he only felt that Hailongtun was like a cage that imprisoned him.
That's right, this Hailongtun has now become a cage to imprison him, and the period of the hook and punishment does not have to wait until after autumn.
