7804 Chapter 7801-persuading the enemy to surrender
As for sieging the city … The 800 personal guard units were all cavalrymen, and the sieging weapons of the seitong Commandery had been burned to ashes by the flames of the camp, so there was no way to sieging the city.
Unless Lin Yi did it himself, he wouldn’t do something as boring as entering the city and killing the soldiers.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Song shaopeng was in high spirits as he cupped his fists at Lin Yi. He then urged his Black Spirit Ferghana horse to run to fire sickle city.
Previously, when the camp was in trouble, the people on fire sickle city’s city walls had only reacted after a long time. The city gates had also opened once, but were immediately closed. In the end, the city’s commander had not brought any troops out to help.
Lin Yi didn’t like people like this. Two thousand soldiers-if they abandoned the city and attacked, they might be able to change the situation.
After all, Lin Yi’s side only had 800 cavalrymen. As long as the soldiers in the city didn’t fall into chaos and distract the guards unit, the situation would be very different.
That’s right, they didn’t ask them to defeat Lin Yi’s guards, they just needed to hold them back, and the chaos in the camp might slowly subside!
It was not impossible for the enemy soldiers to regather and kill the eight hundred Guards unit.
Unfortunately, all of this could only remain in the hypothetical stage!
Song shaopeng didn’t have Lin Yi’s spiritual sense and didn’t know much about the city.
However, since he was a general talent, he could still see this situation clearly.
“People on the city wall, listen up. I am song shaopeng, the grandson of the king of Hongshang County, the Conqueror general, the commander of the three armies, Sima Zhongda. I have come with good intentions to persuade you to surrender. Open the city gate quickly. Marshal Sima will let bygones be bygones, but if you resist, you will be killed without mercy!”
Song shaopeng’s voice was full of energy and he pointed his long blade at the burning seitong Commandery camp,””The Army outside the city has been completely destroyed. Don’t resist anymore. You are not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!”
The general on the city wall didn’t know the truth, or he would have spat on song shaopeng’s face!
You only have 800 people, and you have the nerve to look down on my 2000 people?
What was he thinking?
Well, the general on the city wall didn’t know about this.
He didn’t dare to ask. He could only hide behind the battlements and shiver, hesitating in his heart about what to do.
The main force had only been annihilated for a couple of hours. What use could the small number of troops in his hands be?
Defend the city? Don’t joke around!
That’s right! A hostage!
Out of the original defenders of fire sickle city, there were still about 7000 to 8000 who had not died!
Because the city had been seized from the inside and the outside, the defenders had put up some resistance in the early stages, and many people had died. However, the situation had changed in the later stages, and those who had not died had either surrendered or been captured alive.
The original defenders who were locked up were prepared to use them to threaten the Army of Hongshang Commandery in the event of an emergency. Now, it was that “if”!
“Commander song, don’t act rashly. I still have more than 10000 prisoners from your Hongshang Commandery. If you retreat now, I can protect them. If …”
Behind the wall, the general of the seitong Commandery seemed to have gained some confidence in the negotiation, so he stuck his head out and shouted at song shaopeng, trying to threaten him with the prisoners.
Song shaopeng’s mouth revealed a sneer. The Marshal was watching from behind. Who the hell are you to threaten me?
The commander’s order was to persuade them to surrender, not to negotiate!
Song shaopeng didn’t have the patience to listen to that idiot on the city wall.
Immediately, he let go of his hand and lowered his saber. At the same time, he hooked a longbow hanging on the side of the Black Spirit Ferghana horse with the tip of his foot and instantly jumped into his right hand.
At the same time, he took out an Eagle plume arrow with his left hand and nocked it!
The bow was like a full moon, and when it was released, the arrow was like a shooting star!
Song shaopeng’s movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. The whole process didn’t even take half a blink of an eye.
On the city wall, before the monarch of the selenbronze Commandery could finish his words, his pupils contracted!
The Eagle plume arrow that was shot out seemed to have penetrated through space. Before he could react, it had already arrived!
Before he could even think of dodging, the Eagle plume arrow had already shot into his brain!
The head of the monarch of seitong Commandery was thrown back by the arrow. His empty eyes looked at the trembling eagle feather and quickly disappeared into the endless darkness in the sky!
Song shaopeng’s right hand flicked and the longbow returned to the original bow bag. Only a small part of the long knife that hadn’t fallen to the ground returned to his hand.
“Let’s change to another person to speak!”
Song shaopeng’s long blade chopped twice in the air, and then the tip of the blade pointed at the city wall. He said domineeringly,”In front of Marshal Sima, you don’t have the right to negotiate! Surrender, or die!”
A captive?
The city was broken. In song shaopeng’s heart, even if the soldiers guarding the city didn’t die, they weren’t worth his attention.
At other times, he might be able to negotiate with the seitong Commandery for an exchange of prisoners, but now that it was about taking back fire sickle city, he could not be soft-hearted!
The soldiers on the city wall fell into silence.
Their general wasn’t weak either. He was an ancient martial art practitioner at the peak of the late golden elixir realm. How could he have been killed in seconds by an arrow?
The enemies down there … Were really brutal!
Lin Yi was quite satisfied with song shaopeng’s performance. In order to save time, he decided to give him a hand. He looked around and called one of song shaopeng’s guards over, whispering a few words.
The guard listened attentively, then he bowed and galloped to the prisoners of se Tong Commandery.
Soon, the disheartened captives of selenbronze Commandery began to shout in groups of two or three.
“Brothers in the city, surrender!”
“We lost. The Marshal of Hongshang Commandery is too powerful. We can’t defeat him. The Marshal doesn’t kill prisoners … Surrender!”
“It’s meaningless to die Here. Think about your wife and children at home!”
“Big brother, I’m not dead yet. You should surrender too!”
………………
Not long after, the chaotic shouts gradually converged into a loud “surrender!”
The city’s commander had died, so the Deputy general naturally didn’t want to take the responsibility. He pretended not to see it and sneaked up.
Without a leader, the people who were familiar with each other exchanged glances and gathered together before sneaking to the city gates, ready to ambush the guards and open the gates to surrender to Lin Yi.
They did not expect that before they could make a move, they would see the soldiers guarding the city gate already quietly opening the city gate …
Like-minded!
When the guards at the gate saw that someone was coming, they were frightened, thinking that their actions had been exposed. They picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.
And then … They looked at each other. They were all the same people …
Everyone did not need to say anything. They nodded in tacit understanding and worked together to open the city gate!
The moment the city gate opened, song shaopeng’s mouth showed a smile.
The overall situation was set!
While Lin Yi was taking back fire sickle city, Liu Ziyu had caught up to the royal guards who were still marching as usual.
It was already late at night, and Wu yucao had already given the order to set up camp.
