Chapter 1069 Can you afford to bet!
When he learned that two people had rushed to their camp to return, even Chang Can was interested and personally reviewed - of course, he really couldn't understand what Jiangling people said.
The translation is three teenagers, namely Xi Zaochi of the Xi family in Xiangyang and his two uncles Luo Chong and Luo You.
Well, although they are of different seniority, these three are really about the same age, and even the two uncles are very convinced by their nephews.
Chang Can asked, and Xi Zaochi translated it. He still understood some local dialects in Jingzhou, especially when he was a child, he lived in Jiangling with his clan ancestor Xi Yu.
After some cross-examination, I found out that they were servants of the Fei family in Jiangxia County - this family had Fei Yi.
This county is now in Yiyang. Under the rule of Liang State, the Fei family has been in decline for a long time. A clan migrated to Jiangling and had no strength. It was just a hundred servants. This time it was forced to conquer Tao Zhen.
During the fierce battle, the Fei family's children suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining dozens of servants were also incorporated into the county soldiers. Seeing that the two of them had lost their master's family, they were unwilling to work hard for Tao Zhen anymore, so they secretly hid a rope, went down the city through the relationship between the robes, and fled to the Zuojinwu Guard Camp.
In addition, Ji Nan was besieged for a long time and fought several battles, with great casualties. Especially those soldiers who were good at fighting were killed and injured hundreds of people. In the end, they had to let the county soldiers and even the wealthy servants who were forced to surrender, but this greatly amplified the casualties. Until now, I can't hold on anymore.
When Chang Can heard this, he couldn't sit still and asked someone to prepare horses on the spot. He wanted to go to the Central Army camp to report in person.
Before leaving, he called his relatives and ordered: "Give each of the two soldiers ten pieces of silk, and let them forward to persuade them to surrender together. Use local dialect to persuade them to surrender."
"As for your order." The dear general replied.
Chang Can laughed out loud and turned his horse on his back and left in a flash.
"Two soldiers, please follow me to persuade me to surrender first. Someone will give you the reward later." The dear general stretched out his hand and said.
"It should be." The two nodded repeatedly, not daring to refuse.
Xi Zaochi and the other two followed. The dear general took a look, but did not stop him.
The venue was changed back to the east of Ji Nan City.
Xi Zaochi looked from afar, and the two uncles followed behind like nephews, with their eyes wide open.
Fine snowflakes floated in the sky, as if it was the first time since winter began.
The drummers stood high, bare-chested, and just finished a drum beat, and the battle had just ended.
Amid the crisp sound of the slander, the young men from Luonan ended their third siege since their expedition.
They once stayed at the city wall for a long time until they were defeated by Tao Zhen personally.
The young men no longer had the high-spirited attitude when they went to war. At that time, they were used to listening to the words of their fathers and grandparents boasting about bravery, had unrealistic fantasies about war, and it was difficult to understand the earnest warnings of their fathers and grandparents.
After experiencing the cruel war, witnessing many companions dying from the enemy's swords and arrows, seeing many relatives rotting in the mud and water, and personally experiencing the pain of bleeding, they seemed to have a layer of shell removed.
Some people will retreat, go home and farm honestly, and never mention it on the battlefield again.
Some people will consider it thoroughly and make a serious decision to stop next step.
Some people will face difficulties, follow the footsteps of their fathers and grandparents, and gain wealth on the battlefield.
There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people.
War is a very serious matter and should be taken seriously.
As soon as the battle ended, hundreds of cavalry rushed up, took a walk and then returned.
They prevented the enemy from leaving the city to chase, but before they could wait, the defenders had completely acted like they were being beaten passively.
The persuading surrender rushed up again, and the focus was still on the county soldiers.
"Municipal soldiers, you have surrendered! Wu soldiers are not here, their family property is not here, and they have a bad life, and they can still gain wealth. What do you gain?"
"I just surrendered yesterday and I have been awarded 50 acres of land and ten pieces of silk. If you come to surrender, you can also give it to you."
"It's all good fields, and you don't need two generations of your family to open up dirty lanes, and you can fight for your life."
"If you are braver and take the lead in the school to surrender, you will be rich."
"Don't work hard for the people of Wu. You think about it carefully. If you can't get out, can you survive?"
Throughout the afternoon, all kinds of words of persuading surrender were said over and over again, and the sound was heard, and the atmosphere in Ji Nan City slowly changed subtly.
In the evening, Tao Zhen had just returned to the prefect's house and was about to take some pills to boost his spirits. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he frowned.
For a moment, it didn't smell like it. Tao Zhen felt irritated and ordered the generals to look after their soldiers and send reliable troops to patrol the city. Whoever made a loud noise would be killed immediately.
But that night, more than 30 county soldiers rushed down the city and rushed into the Liang army camp.
At this time, you should know that there is a big problem with the county soldiers! At least, many county soldiers acquiesced to leave the city with the robes who wanted to survive.
What's worse is that a team leader from Xiakou was found dead in a house, and his head had disappeared.
On the 13th, Tao Zhen personally climbed the city and saw the increasingly large team of persuading surrender, and lost his voice.
The relative walked over and whispered, "The head of Jingling Shifu Jun was picked up by a spear outside the city. It is unknown whether it is true or not."
Tao Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and the stone city was gone? If this matter is true, then the Liang people should have gone south in a large-scale attempt to attack Yangkou. I don’t know if the Jiangzhou soldiers can withstand it.
"Is there any movement in the south?" Tao Zhen asked again.
"I don't know." The relative general shook his head and said, "The Liang army has been very strict in defending, and two groups of messengers have been intercepted and killed." He was trapped in the city and knew nothing about the outside world. Over time, it is easy to scare yourself, and then your morale is depressed and it is difficult to fight hard.
To put it bluntly, even if the reinforcements cannot enter the city in the end, as long as they approach Ji Nan and let the defenders know that you are still there, they will not lose confidence. And now—
A noise suddenly sounded in the streets under the city.
Tao Zhen's expression changed and he immediately stepped down from the city. The personal soldiers followed closely behind, and they also looked nervous.
"What's the matter?" Tao Zhen asked with his hand touching the hilt of the knife.
"Mr. "When everyone saw it, they saluted one after another.
A moment later, a military academy spoke in Wuchang accent and pointed to a group of people squatting on the street, saying, "Mr., these more than ten people accepted bribes and bought privately to release fugitives from the city. They have been captured by me, and they have also been captured. Unexpectedly, He tried every quibbling and refused to explain. At last, the general wanted to punish the law of the army, but he also made a noise and encouraged the county soldiers to rescue..."
Tao Zhen stretched out a hand and stopped the words from the military academy.
He looked coldly at the more than ten people squatting on the ground and crying constantly, and then at the more than a hundred county soldiers who were looking away. He was hesitant and even more irritable.
Just punish crimes, it is easy to cause mutiny. Even if there is no mutiny, the morale of the county soldiers will be even lower.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Don’t punish others, wouldn’t it be encouraged to follow suit?
Tao Zhen thought about it all, and was furious for a while, wishing to kill them all, but then he forced himself to suppress his anger and said to forget it, and he still had to rely on the county soldiers to defend the city together.
After all the troubles, his face changed.
Suddenly, perhaps because he had not been convinced for several days, a tyrannical, boredom and mania surged in his heart. He bit his teeth and shouted, "Kill them all, hang their heads everywhere to serve as a warning to others. ”
The military academy immediately received the order and rushed up like a wolf or a tiger.
Tao Zhen's personal soldiers and the Wuchang and Xiakou soldiers were also facing a great enemy, waiting for the battle, staring at the people who were looking around in the distance.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.
Those people may think that they are not strong enough, or are afraid of their power, and finally they have a little stir, and then they become silent.
There were only the crying sounds of more than ten people left on the street.
They were tied with their hands and begged for mercy.
The military academy was unmoved and directly raised his sword and killed more than ten people one by one. After they finished, they picked up the heads one by one, held them in both hands, and knelt in front of Tao Zhen on one knee, asking him to check it out.
"You can just deal with it yourself." Tao Zhen waved his hand impatiently, and then walked away with his personal soldiers.
Now he just wants to go back to the prefect's mansion, take some extra, drink some cold wine, and then hold his concubine to vent, which may make the worries disappear.
Tao Zhen's figure quickly left, leaving only the headless corpse on the ground and the blood that overflowed everywhere.
More than a hundred county soldiers on the street watched all this silently.
There was no noise or noise, but people in it could feel that subtle atmosphere.
Some things are different.
This difference can be ignored and suppressed at other times, but when the city is shaking, it is likely to be fatal.
That night, dozens of people rushed down the city and fled to the Liang army camp.
This time, they not only brought the latest situation of the defenders in the city, but many people also encouraged the Daliang King's Army to attack at night, and pointed out that the fewest defenders in the northwest corner of Ji Nan City were almost used up, and they had not had time to replenish them.
Faced with this critical information, no one dares to make a decision because it may be fake. It is just like the saying that soldiers never get tired of cheating.
But after hearing this, Jiang Ke smiled indifferently.
So what if you are really cheated? He can afford to bet.
Not to mention that, in the middle of the night that day, he went to the left camp of Yinqiu, and selected more than a hundred veterans with outstanding skills and courage. Then he also recruited 500 death-death men from the Halong Zahu and various counties. , launched a fierce attack from the south and northwest corners.
The Yi army was stationed outside the gates of two thousand cavalry, ready to intercept and kill the defeated soldiers at any time, and must not let anyone go.
The battle went very smoothly.
When more than a hundred veterans of the Silver Gun Left Camp only carried a simple long ladder and climbed to the top of Ji Nan, they almost encountered any resistance. It was not until they attacked down the city wall that fierce battle broke out.
For a moment, there were sounds of killing in the city, and someone set fire to the top of the city.
In the dark night, the sound of neat footsteps seemed to hit people's hearts. The soldiers of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, who had been waiting for the battle, rushed forward, took the long ladder left by the people in front, and climbed bravely.
The drums were no longer hidden, and they kept ringing in the dark, never stopping.
From night to dawn, the sound of killing never stopped until the banner of the character "Jin" at the top of Ji Nan was completely removed until the gate of Ji Nan was completely opened.
In this battle, the only thousand Wu soldiers left in the city were almost killed, and in the end, only four or five hundred soldiers of the Nanjun County survived.
As for Tao Zhen, he was pulled off from the couch and tied up a bunch of them.
The Jiangling City, which Guan Yu once overhauled, changed hands.
