Chapter 257: Embracing the Encirclement (Part Two)

Zhu Youcheng reminded a few more things and stood up and left. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said in a low voice: "It is not difficult to defend the city. I guess that when the rebels find that the main force of the Jinyiwei left, they may immediately pursue it. The siege of Longli City will be lifted. But if I guess I am wrong, the rebels will attack Longli City with all their strength. I approve you to surrender to the rebels and save your life. This surrender was ordered by me, and it is not considered that you betrayal of the Jinyiwei."

The young people in the barbarians were quiet for a while, and suddenly they all looked angry and felt sad that Zhu Youcheng did not believe them. Some of them pulled out their swords to point out their ambitions; some raised their hands to swear to the sky; some knelt on the ground and showed their determination to die rather than surrender. The four great heroes were even more excited, and even the native language of the barbarians emerged.

Zhu Youcheng did not expect that as soon as they let their lives save, he would be like stabbing a hornet's nest. He hurriedly ordered his sword to stop. His fingers were not leeks, and he cut them one after another, and then gently comforted the excited young people.

------------------

It took An Bangyan, who spent more than half a day, found a few pieces of tattered white cloth and made it into a white flag.

He ordered several guards to take the young man out of the tent. At this moment, they heard the rumbling sound of cannons outside.

"What's going on? Did our people accidentally get into the range of 350 steps from the city wall, and the Jinyiwei set off firecrackers and exploded people?" An Bangyan asked in confusion.

"Oh, the head coach of the Jinyiwei is really a master. He guessed that our next step was to take King Xin to the battlefield, so he carried out indiscriminate bombing on the battlefield in advance. First, we suppressed us so that we could not take King Xin to the battlefield, because he died on the field, and we would lose the hostages that threatened the Jinyiwei; second, we would use the smoke and dust raised by the bomb to block the soldiers' vision and prevent the soldiers from discovering that King Xin had been caught by us; third, we would use the explosion to suppress our voices, and we would not hear anything we would shout."

If Zhu Youcheng was on the scene, he would definitely say: "You are thinking too much. I just want to use the smoke and dust raised by the shells to block your sight so that we can break through."

After each tiger squat cannon was released, twenty flowering artillery shells were launched. The artillery carried the tiger squat cannons down the city wall. The cannon barrel that had just been set off was very hot. Although the cannon was dipped in water to clean the cannon barrels and cooled down, the temperature of the cannon barrels was still very high. So the artillery was crying and howling, while carrying the cannon barrels, they ran towards the carriage quickly. There was no need to move the cannon shells, because during the fireworks, the excess ammunition had been moved into the carriage by the Jinyiwei.

Zhu Youcheng led his troops to gather at the South Gate. With an order, the city gate opened wide and the cavalry rushed out. The horses in front of the South Gate had already been shattered by the Jinyiwei with cannons. The spear formation was also smashed to pieces. It was the safest to break through here.

An Bangyan put out horses and liaison soldiers on all sides of Longli City. The news that the Jinyiwei cavalry opened the south gate and left the city quickly reached An Bangyan's ears.

An Bangyan and Surtai discussed for a while, and not only did not send people to the south gate to intercept the troops, but instead concentrated their troops at the north gate. They believed that King Xin was in their hands, and Zhu Youcheng and King Xin had a deep brotherly relationship, the Jinyiwei would definitely risk his life to rescue King Xin. When King Xin was at the north gate, the main attack direction of the Jinyiwei must also be at the north gate. Their cavalry attacked from the south gate, and must have fought east and west. When the rebels transferred the army to the south gate, the Jinyiwei opened the north gate and rushed out to rescue King Xin. An Bangyan and Surtai were sitting in the commander's tent. Jing waited for Zhu Youcheng to take the bait.

The two of them waited for Zhu Youcheng on the left but did not come, and the right but did not come, and the more they waited, the more anxious they became. They decided not to pretend to be a master and went out to see when Zhu Youcheng would come.

It was half an hour after the shelling, and the smoke and dust in the sky had dissipated, revealing the strong Longli City behind. The Longli City was actually full of people. It was very different from the scene where the crowds were sparse on the city wall just now.

An Bangyan looked surprised: "What? Can Zhu Youcheng be magical? After firing a few shots, he created so many people."

Surtai was also a little confused: "Yes, where did he create so many people? Moreover, he transferred people to the city wall. There was no need to fire a gun. Just let someone go up to the city tower, and there was no need to fire a gun to inform us where. Also, where did the cavalry who went out from the south gate go?"

An Bangyan stomped his feet and said hatefully: "No matter how much you have, just take King Xin to the front and order them to open the city and surrender."

The three guards trembled with fear and took the fake letter king to a place fifty steps outside Longli City. This time, the Jinyiwei did not fire the fire.

"Open the door and surrender! King Xin is in our hands. If you don't open the door, we will not guarantee the safety of King Xin." The three guards shouted in unison.

There was no sound on the city wall, and the guards were furious and whether to surrender or not, you would give me a message. What does it mean to be so silent? Let's act like a one-man show?

A guard pulled out his knife and slashed a knife on the back of the fake king. The young man wailed in pain, trying to reach out to cover his wound, but unfortunately his hands were tied and he couldn't move.

There was still no movement on the city wall.

"It's not that there are dead people on the city wall, right?" A guard said in his heart. He approached the city wall and threw the knife in his hand at the figure on the city wall, trying to pierce the figure's chest.

A strong hand caught the knife and then threw it back hard. The guard suddenly didn't react. He didn't catch the knife, and the knife penetrated into his chest. The man on the city wall was very strong, and the knife actually pierced the guards under the city wall.

In fact, the guards were not wrong. The city was not all living people. More than half of the guards in the city were scarecrows arranged on the city walls before.

The remaining two guards were extremely angry when they saw their companions died, but they could not catch the defenders on the city wall, so they had to vent their fake letters. The two guards kept guarding the camp, and saw from beginning to end how the young man pretended to be letters to the king, and knew that the young man was just an ordinary child. But they were blinded by anger, and they still remembered their mission, so they used cruel means to torture the young man.

The boy kept screaming and wailing, and the sound made people feel sour, but the people on the city wall still did not respond.

The torture did not eliminate the guard's hostility. A guard swung his knife and slashed hard at the boy's neck.

With a "click", the poor boy's head was chopped off by the guards, and his neck blood soared into the sky, spitting the two guards' heads and faces.

But there was still no sound on the city wall.

"Oh no, the Eighty-Yinyiwei has already broken through. The ones who are left on the city wall are not the Eighty-Yinyiwei, so they are indifferent to the life and death of King Xin. Maybe the guards guarding the city are the prisoners of the barbarians he captured." Sultai shouted.

An Bangyan called the horse guarding the south gate and asked for details of the cavalry out of the city. When he heard that there were many cavalry out of the city and there were a large number of carriages in the middle, he fell on a chair all of a sudden - no raid team would take the carriage to attack the enemy.

It's over, the Jinyiwei has broken through the siege and rushed towards Guiyang. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
