Hetai has governed the city for more than 20 years, his temperament is tepid, although he has no achievements, there is no fault, and the Ministry of Officials has given a mediocre evaluation all the year round, so he has not moved his position.

It stands to reason that such a city lord should not strongly resist Ding Kui's troops.

"If people want to descend, they can't help but agree, so I should go down first. Mo Jun hurriedly sent the messenger away, worried that Shaodian Ye couldn't help but cut people.

"I think that Binlai City has been planning for a long time, and I have been preparing for yesterday's battle for a long time, if I know that there is information about the city half a year ago, I can analyze it. "Feng Xu has an idea.

"Okay!" Mo Jun agreed.

The Red Army of the Protectorate did not have spies from the Military Intelligence Department, but there were secret police officers from the Security Bureau, and the old spy intelligence department also had secret spies to follow, and this was Ding Kui's request, and the intelligence system must go all out to assist the combat troops.

Shibu County is on the edge of Ding Kui's territory, and it is very convenient for intelligence personnel to enter and exit, such as Binlai City, there are special people to collect all kinds of information, and Mo Jungang brought in less than an hour after someone sent the information.

The staff officers of the infantry regiment, the crossbow regiment and the 196th division went through the materials of the three wooden boxes together, trying to find out the reason for the change in Binlai City.

Mo Jun, Shao Dianye, and Tang Fu were also helping, and they were responsible for classifying the information and then handing it over to a special staff officer for analysis.

In the middle of the night, the military tents were still brightly lit, and from time to time people brought in things from outside the camp, all of which were materials collected by the intelligence department.

"Your army is more regular than the regular army, and if we have the same strength of our army, we will definitely not lose to Binlaicheng. Tang Fu finished dividing the last document and looked up to see that Mo Jun was just free.

"Wherever we are, we still have a lot to learn from your department, and the combination of arms in a division is more reasonable than ours. Mo Jun was ashamed.

"Actually, otherwise, if we knew in advance that there were rushing troops in Binlai City, we could have dug deep trenches and destroyed the terrain in front of the crossbowmen's position, so that the rushing troops would not be effective. "Shaodian finished dividing the documents at hand.

He was very unconvinced by the defeat, and after the war conducted an in-depth analysis to figure out how to deal with the rushing troops.

The rushing troops themselves have a lot of flaws, otherwise they would not have been abandoned by the regular army.

"That's also because the regular army units have a mature system, they have experienced all kinds of battles, summed up all the situations that may occur on the battlefield, and at the beginning of the formation of the troops, there was a perfect composition of the troops, and our army still has some improvements in this regard. Mo Jun is self-examining.

Both the infantry regiment and the crossbow regiment are too single, and a single arm is easy to be restrained, and no country's army relies on a single arm to fight the world.

"Yes, my lord also emphasized cross-service cooperation, we were wrong, and we should not have asked General Townsend to flank. Shaodian Ye saw that Mo Jun's face was wrong, and immediately changed his words.

"No, you are stronger than us in terms of attack power, it is reasonable for you to be the main force of the siege, who would have thought that there would be a rushing car here. Tang Fu humbled himself.

"Do you think that Hetai is afraid because the 196th Division is coming, and he is worried that continuing to resist will anger us, and once he is defeated, he will have no way to live, so he thinks of surrendering. Mo Jun made a point.

"Binlai City is isolated, sooner or later we will have to face our army, this does not need to be understood by the master Nahetai himself, they have worked hard to rebuild the city defense, and they have also created a rushing army for your department, so there should be no idea of surrendering. Tang Fu took the opportunity to talk about what he thought.

You have to let the friendly forces see that the 196th Division not only has a staff officer, but the division commander is not bad.

"General Tang is right, Hetai is definitely a fraudulent surrender, and we should fight to the death with it. "Shaodian Ye is extremely reluctant to accept the surrender of Binlaicheng.

The shame of defeat made him unforgettable for life, and he held his breath in his heart to win it back on the battlefield. As soon as the friendly forces came, the enemy surrendered, and this was not counted as their face-saving gain.

"There is!" Feng Xu suddenly held up a piece of paper, "It is written here that in October last year, Lin Mochu, a master craftsman, visited Hetai with a mysterious distinguished guest, and he stayed in the City Lord's Mansion that day and did not come out. ”

Mo Jun, Tang Fu and Shaodian Ye looked at each other, they didn't hear anything famous, it was not surprising that there were master craftsmen in the city, everyone had already seen this, and the mysterious VIPs were even more confused.

"The key lies in this mysterious VIP. Feng Xu said excitedly.

But seeing that the others didn't react, he explained: "Who will the master craftsman be with? At least they are also master-level craftsmen, staying in the City Lord's Mansion that night shows that Hetai attaches great importance to them, and it is very likely that he is in the face of this distinguished guest."

We have a direction, we can assume that the changes in Binlai City are from the hands of this distinguished guest, it is not difficult to infer that he is good at craftsman things, should not be good at military affairs, this can be related to the plan to dedicate the city, Binlai City is unwilling to fight again and make another plan. ”

Shaodian couldn't help but ask: "Does it mean that they surrendered?"

"It's almost certain that it was a swindle, but how did they lure us, and when, where, and by what means will they plot against us?" asked Tom Fu more sophisticatedly.

Feng Xu replied: "That's right, the military means of Binlai City have been exhausted, and with the arrival of reinforcements from our department, the defenders in the city will definitely be powerless to resist! Since it was the craftsmen who influenced the city lord, then most of the plots against us would be the means of the craftsmen." ”

"Why should we think so much, directly refuse their surrender, and attack the city with our own army. Shaodian Ye was excited again.

"No!" everyone objected.

"If we don't want to take this trick, we have to accept it!" Mo Jun glanced at Shaodianye.

Feng Xu added: "This is a conspiracy, if our army refuses to surrender, it will affect other cities, and when the news spreads, no one will surrender, and it will provoke other places to fight to the death with our army." ”

"This, hey!" Shao Dianye slapped his thigh violently, the reason couldn't be simpler, and he understood it with a little mention.

They can only accept the surrender of Binlaicheng, no matter what the conspiracy is.

"Is the master craftsman also so scheming?" Mo Jun hated the mysterious VIP so much. He had concluded that Hetai was listening to the mysterious VIPs.

"What master craftsman doesn't have the heart of the seven tricks, but they usually put their minds on the craftsman's skills, and once they put their minds on other aspects, they are also very powerful. "Feng Xu did not underestimate the craftsman.

He has the most craftsmen in contact with in the Zhongjun tent, and he knows the skills of master craftsmen better.

He continued, "The enemy may set traps that are even more powerful than those of the high-ranking archers, and have the potential to injure thousands of troops. ”

"Is it so powerful?" Townsford was a little surprised.

The trap of the Great Arrow Division is so powerful that even those with fifth-level combat power can't avoid it, and if they are hit, they will die, but they can't act on thousands of troops, and there is no saying that the Great Arrow Division can reach a legion or a division on the battlefield.

If Fengxu's speculation is correct, it would be terrible for such a master craftsman to go to the battlefield.

"The master craftsman may not be able to, but the god craftsman should be able to, and the person who can have the title of god is not simple. Mo Jun made an even more striking point.

"How is it possible! There is a god craftsman in the little Binlai City, and the god craftsman will come here to deal with us?"

"It's not impossible. Feng Xu overturned his boss's statement, "Lin Mochu is not enough to be valued by Hetai, and it may be a god craftsman who is more powerful than him." Not to mention far, there are no gods in Giant Sheep City, there can be there here. ”

"Are you talking about Lord Ding?" asked Shao Dianye more.

"Hahaha. Feng Xu smiled, "Xia Guan didn't mean to underestimate adults, how could such a person as an adult spend time on the matter of craftsmen, Xia Guan was talking about Qingyang Zi." ”

He didn't think that Ding Kui didn't have that ability, he just felt that Ding Kui didn't have that leisure. are all begging for a life under Ding Kui's hands, who dares to criticize the big boss.

Shaodian Ye was stunned and said: "Speaking of which, it still hasn't solved the problem of how to accept the surrender of Binlai City." ”

Mo Jun clapped his hands and said, "It's easy to do it with a direction, everyone work hard tonight, don't sleep, and try to come up with a way before noon tomorrow." ”

At noon the next day, Binlai City sent a more senior envoy, the commander of the city defense army, Dong Shunzhi.

The nominally highest-ranking officer came alone, not afraid of being detained by the Protectorate Red Army, which showed the attitude and sincerity of the guest to come to the city.

The commander gave it to you, I really don't want to fight anymore.

The two sides agreed: At noon the next day, Hetai went out of the south gate to welcome the army into the city, and the white flags were hung on all sides of the city, and the city defense army lined up empty-handed on both sides of the streets into the city, obeying the command of the troops entering the city.

The condition brought by Dong Shunzhi was that after the Red Army entered the city, it was not allowed to harm anyone and not to rob the property of the people in the city.

"Report, Lord Ding's military order. ”

All the officers present stood up to answer the order.

"Order Mo Junbu, be sure to take the city of Binlai, not to harm the leaders of the city, and send it to Nanqiu County immediately after being captured. Mo Jun read the military order.

The news of their defeat was transmitted back to the headquarters as soon as possible, and Zhong Wei did not dare to slack off and immediately reported to Ding Kui, so Ding Kui received the news that night. It seems that this military order was thought about for a while, otherwise it would not have been delivered now.

"Could it be that Lord Sensei guessed who was in the city?" Feng Xu had a different understanding of the order.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from the adults, the adults did not explain it to test us. Shaodian Ye found an opportunity to joke and talk.

Mo Jun kicked him and said with a smile: "This sycophant should be left for me to shoot!"

"Will we still act as planned tomorrow?" The Lord clearly wants us to capture Ha Tai and the mysterious VIP alive unscathed. Townsford was very attentive to the gist of the order.

Several people looked at Feng Xu.

Feng Xu stroked his hand and walked back and forth for a few steps before he said: "Change it a little, we can't ruin the name of the adults who cherish talents, and we have to work hard for Commander Mo's subordinates." ”

"No problem! The infantry regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission. ”

Now Mo Jun is also obedient to Feng's words.

At noon the next day, 3,000 men and horses drove from the barracks ten miles away to the southern suburbs of Binlai City, only to see more than 100 people waiting outside the south gate.

The person at the front was dressed neatly in the official uniform of the city lord, holding a mahogany box in both hands, and it seemed that he had been standing outside the door for a while.
