Chapter 971: A Soldier Who Surrenders Without a Fight
Chapter 976
It is rumored that Cheng Dalei is a difficult person. Although most of the rumors in the rivers and lakes are false, this alone is true.
And this time, Luo Yi can be regarded as personally experiencing why Cheng Dalei is difficult.
The general attack on three sides, vacating a city wall, Cheng Dalei laid an ambush outside the city.
This kind of trick can't hide Luo Yi, the old fox, Cheng Dalei's layout has almost been clarified, and he is not hidden.
But this layout is simple, but it works. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are exceptionally capable of fighting, and with any of them alone, there is not much problem if they want to break through Lingchuan City, not to mention that now the two of them are joining forces.
And Cheng Dalei still has big names like Zhao Zilong, Yang Zhi, and Hua Rong in his hands.
So, it's only a matter of time before the city is broken.
Luo Yi and Cheng Dalei have a grudge against their sons, if it is possible, Luo Yi is eager to dismantle Cheng Dalei into eight pieces, chop them up and feed them to the dogs.
But in the current situation, self-preservation is also a problem, so don't think about revenge.
The first siege lasted throughout the day, and it was not until night that the Liangzhou soldiers died down and prepared to fight again tomorrow.
Looking at their appearance, it is obvious that it is only a tentative attack, and there is still room for strength. But just a temptation has already made Luo Yi feel tremendous pressure. He didn't have any certainty that he would survive the siege of the Liangzhou soldiers tomorrow.
The siege defender already had a great advantage, but in front of the Liangzhou soldiers, this advantage in Luo Yi's hands was gone. The key lies in the siege equipment mastered by the Liangzhou soldiers.
In addition to trebuchets, rushing cars, long-range heavy crossbows, they were equipped with a sufficient number of explosive shells.
It is an ordinary trebuchet and a rushing car, and the power produced in Liangzhou is also greater.
Cheng Dalei has been nesting in Liangzhou for several years, and he did not stir up this troubled world at all, and he was not willing to send troops until the final victory was clear. But in the past few years, Cheng Dalei has not been idle. In addition to keeping his ears open to observe the general trend of the world, he is concentrating on weapon research.
Iron ore is produced in Liangzhou, and every soldier can be equipped with elaborate iron tools. This point may not be possible when the Rong people gallop the world.
Obviously, his study of gunpowder has reached a higher level. Therefore, the siege war that everyone in the empire is worried about is not a problem for Cheng Dalei at all.
It was only a matter of time before Lingchuan City was breached, and Cheng Dalei was actually not in a hurry, just leaving some time for the battle on Li Xingya's side.
Cheng Dalei understands this, and Luo Yi also understands it.
Cheng Dalei can take a good time and fight this battle slowly. But it's a matter of life and death, and Luo Yi can't enjoy leisure like Cheng Dalei.
He had to do something.
After the truce at night, Cheng Dalei nested in the big tent and discussed the next things with Cui Baiyu and Liu Bei.
After getting rid of Luo Yi, there will be no decent enemies in Jingzhou. It is said that the battle on Lee Xingya's side is also going well, so it seems that this war will end sooner than expected.
At this time, Liu Facai came to the big tent and said, "Big boss, a letter was sent out from the city." ”
The letter was nailed to the gate with a feather arrow, and the sender did not dare to show his face at all. It said that the prince of Liangzhou was enlightened, and Liu Facai immediately sent it to Cheng Dalei after knowing it.
Cheng Dalei opened the envelope with confusion in his eyes, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled. raised his head and saw Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu staring at him, Cheng Dalei handed the letter to the two again.
The two of them also frowned for a long time after seeing it, and after a while, Liu Bei said, "Luo Yi wants to surrender?"
This is indeed a letter of surrender, in which Luo Yi is earnest, he dares to be powerless to oppose Cheng Dalei, and is willing to lead his soldiers to surrender and serve Cheng Dalei.
After a moment of silence, Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu said in unison: "There is fraud in this." ”
Cheng Dalei waved his hand and said, "Of course I know that there is fraud. ”
How can the hatred of killing a son be erased and erased, for a person like Luo Yi, Cheng Dalei has a hundred distrusts in his heart.
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't talk to each other about fasting.
However, if you can surrender the soldiers without a fight, you can also save a lot of effort, why not do it.
"How do you reply?" Cheng Dalei raised his head.
Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu looked at each other and said, Luo Yi has a plan, and Cheng Dalei may not be able to use a plan to make his wishful thinking fail.
Liu Bei said: "Let's reply to a letter, set harsh conditions, and see how he responds." ”
Cheng Dalei nodded, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Yes." ”
A letter drafted by Cui Baiyu was handed into Lingchuan City overnight, in which Luo Yi's soldiers were asked to walk out of Lingchuan City, no one should carry weapons, an inch of iron was a murderer, and one person carrying weapons would be slaughtered by the whole army, and no armor would be left.
After Luo Yi received the letter, he gritted his teeth and wanted to smash the table. Of course, he will not sincerely surrender to Cheng Dalei, this is just a delaying strategy, but he currently has no reinforcements, and the delaying strategy is not of much use.
Luo Yi's original plan was to lure Cheng Da Lei into the city, lay an ambush by himself, and burn Cheng Da Lei with a jade.
As a result, Cheng Dalei obviously had no intention of risking his life. The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, but unfortunately Cheng Dalei has put on shoes now, and Luo Yi is the barefoot.
It was very difficult to calm the anger in his heart, and the situation in front of him seemed to have nothing to do. Luo Yi replied with a letter and sent someone to Cheng Dalei: he promised to go out of the city and surrender to Cheng Dalei outside Lingchuan City.
After Cheng Dalei received the letter, he was also puzzled: It's all like this, what other conspiracy does Luo Yi have?
Now he was curious, eager to see what tricks Luo Yi played.
The siege was suspended, and on the day agreed in advance, the east gate of Lingchuan City was opened, and the Luo family army jumped out of the city and stopped outside the camp in Liangzhou.
Luo Yi walked at the forefront, he had taken off his armor and was wearing only a white robe. If there is no iron, the sincerity is obviously very strong.
Zhang Zijun has entered Lingchuan City and taken over the city defense. The person in charge of handing over to Luo Yi is Guan Yu.
"The Lingchuan garrison has a total of 78,000 people, and they are willing to serve Cheng Dangjia. Luo Yi bowed to the end, raised his head and faced Guan Yu: "Dare to ask where Cheng Dang's house is?"
Guan Yu didn't raise his head, and said, "The big boss is resting, I'm in charge of things here today." ”
Luo Yi glanced at a few people around him, and there was a trace of dark clouds in his eyes.
"General Qiqiguan, we admire Cheng Dang's personality and are willing to put down his soldiers, if Cheng Dangjia does not show up, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, and then opened his eyes: "You admire the big boss, obviously you don't admire me." ”
"This ......" Luo Yi's face flushed: "Don't dare." ”
How brave is the general of the defeated army, not to mention the initiative to surrender, naturally there is no dignity at all, and the cheekiness is trampled on by others.
Guan Yu quietly looked at some people around Luo Yi, only to see their eyes flickering and looking around.
Obviously, Luo Yi still has tricks. It's just that he has come to this step, what else does he want to do?
What can he do?
