Through the few narrow gaps on the granary door, Wei Deli finally saw a few familiar figures being held by the Song people and kneeling on the ground, their heads lowered, without any strength to resist or struggle, and there was a knife blade tight around their necks. It seems that as long as they resist, their heads will fall to the ground immediately.
The faces of Wei Deli and other Jin people who had previously dismissed the Song people's words finally changed. Even the leader Jialu Huabo brothers had fallen into the hands of the Song people, proving that they had indeed not lied about their plan to rob Lingzhou this time. It has completely failed. I am afraid that most of the hundreds of Jin warriors have been killed by the Song army.
Anger was burning at this moment, and Wei Deli decided to set fire to the countless grains in the warehouse. But before he could say this, another threatening voice sounded from outside: "People inside, listen up, there are just a few Jurchen thieves here, and there are dozens of prisoners behind them waiting to be dealt with. I, the Song Dynasty, have always Benevolence, I really don’t want to commit more crimes and kill these hundreds of prisoners. But if you still don’t understand and still want to resist, then they will have to die before you, and you are the ones who caused their death. The culprit!"
These Jurchen warriors were all straightforward, but they were immediately confused by such convoluted rhetoric. How could it be that they were guilty of having their family members killed by the Song people? This also dissipated the murderous aura they had just summoned. They were stunned and didn't know how to react.
After taking a few deep breaths, Wei Deli moved slightly away from the door and shouted loudly: "If you dare to hurt my Dajin clan members, you will definitely suffer the cruelest revenge in the future! Not only that, now I can Set fire to this warehouse of grain, leaving you with nothing to eat!"
His seemingly tit-for-tat threat was met with a burst of laughter from Sun Tu outside: "You Jurchens are so short-sighted that you treat this mere few thousand kilograms of grain as a treasure. He said, this little food is nothing at all. If you want to set fire to it, just go ahead and don't threaten me with it. Also, the so-called revenge of the Jin people is even more ridiculous. Now you can't protect yourself, and you have to deal with the Liao people. , how can you still have the energy to attack the Song Dynasty? I'm afraid the hundreds of people this time are the limit you can mobilize!"
Sun Tu's last few words really hit the target, which made Wei Deli lose his momentum again, and the original decision could only be put on hold for the time being. The wealthy people of the Song Dynasty said that they had known it for a long time. Everything in Lingzhou City alone dazzled these Jurchens, let alone Tokyo Jiangnan. So it was easy for them to accept what the other party said.
After a while, he yelled again: "What do you want?" Just by seeing him ask this question, you knew that the original mentality of a life-and-death situation had been shaken.
A smile broke out at the corner of Sun Tu's mouth, and he said relaxedly: "I said, I, the Song Dynasty, don't like killing. This time, it was because you invaded my state capital and harmed my people that we fought back and killed you. Hundreds of gold soldiers. Now that the battle is over, as long as you are willing to surrender, we will keep you alive. We will contact you from the Kingdom of Jin when the time comes, and the imperial court will make the final decision."
"No, you Song people are the most treacherous and treacherous. We can't trust you." Wei Deli immediately objected. Long before he came here, Wu Qimai had warned them to be careful and not to trust Ciao easily.
Some of the rhetoric used to deceive people in the Song Dynasty. From his point of view, the reason why his family would be defeated this time was most likely due to the Song people's trick, because he really didn't believe that the weak Song people could withstand the attack of hundreds of warriors of their own clan.
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Sun Tu was also a little annoyed: "It seems that you are determined to seek death. I will help you. I will use this warehouse of food to bury you with you. Come, prepare torches." Wait, listen to my order and set this place on fire, but anyone who rushes out will be shot. And these people, behead them immediately and let them reunite underground!"
As Sun Tu's orders were conveyed, the officers and soldiers quickly moved into action. Some raised their bows and arrows to warn all directions, some raised torches, ready to throw them at any time, and a few even pushed down the prisoners. On the ground, the steel knife was held high, as if it would fall down at any time.
"Kui Deli, your method is not working, they are not willing to give in at all..." Several other companions were a little panicked when they saw this. In fact, their own life and death are nothing, but the more than a hundred people outside, especially the brothers Jialu Huabo and Hua Mo, are all close confidants of Wu Qimai. If he really died because of them, his family would say at home that He might also be implicated.
Wei Deli also became a little uneasy and shouted again: "Wait a minute! I just can't trust the integrity of you Song people. If you can give us some guarantee, I will surrender."
"What guarantee?" Sun Tu's tone softened, and his hand that had been raised relaxed and retracted instead of just waving it down.
Seeing that there was still room for bargaining, Wei Deli was slightly relieved, and immediately said: "It's very simple, as long as you can let the Garuhuabo brothers come in, and I will ask them for orders, then I can surrender." His words were very clear, he just didn't want to bear the responsibility of surrender.
Sun Tu only thought for a moment and vaguely guessed what this person was thinking. I'm afraid if he really let people in, they might not surrender, but they would embrace each other and die together. Then he, Wei Deli, would not have to bear the charge of killing the two leaders.
This thought may be considered shrewd for the simple and straightforward Jurchens, but in Sun Tu's view, it is too childish and not worth mentioning at all. Not to mention that Sun Tu didn't have the lives of these two people in his hands. Even if they were really alive, it would be impossible for him to return to the mountain, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if something went wrong.
But now his purpose is only to attract the attention of the Jurchens inside, so he did not refuse sternly immediately. Instead, he pretended to think deeply and said: "Yes, but you must swear not to repent!"
"Okay, I swear..." Just as Wei Deli was swearing in front of the door, Sun Tu saw a light coming from the back of the warehouse. It was the signal that had been agreed before. Shi Qian had successfully led the people out of the warehouse. The back wall had climbed into the granary, and an attack was about to begin.
In order to cooperate with this raid, Sun Tu said after the other party finished saying the oath: "Okay, then I will let him go. You can open the door."
"But the door cannot be opened, let them climb over the wall and come in." The Jurchens are not hopelessly stupid. If they open the door and the officers and soldiers rush in directly, they will have no chance to resist.
"Okay, let him go!" Sun Tu secretly estimated the time for Shi Qian and the others to take action. When he spoke, he had already informed his subordinates
He winked.
The Qingzhou Army officers on the side understood this and immediately pushed their hands on the backs of the two Garouhuabo brothers. There were only two pops, and the two corpses that had lost their support fell to the ground stiffly, without any movement. .
This was so unexpected that the Jurchens inside the door were instantly stunned. Before they could turn the corner, they thought Garouhuabo and the others were just weak after suffering so much and were pushed down. It wasn't until the two corpses fell to the ground without any reaction that they suddenly woke up - the Song people had actually killed these two brothers!
Just when they realized that something was wrong and wanted to react, several screams came from behind, which made them quickly look back, and then they saw a scene with splitting eyes - left behind , the four Jurchen warriors who held the torches and waited for an order to light them had already been shot with several short arrows, especially in the throat. Everyone was hit by arrows. As soon as they screamed, they were dead, even in their hands. The torches were too late to throw out.
Behind them, Shi Qian was leading more than a dozen brothers from the scout battalion, aiming their crossbows at Wei Deli. Shi Qian and the others, who successfully sneaked into the warehouse and got behind those guys, naturally didn't hold back at all. They shot and killed several people who were the biggest threat to the granary in an instant with a few arrows, and then attacked Kui Deli.
"Song people are not trustworthy. They are the best at lying..." This was what Wu Qimai had warned them long ago, but it was not until this moment that Wei Deli and the others truly understood how important this was. Unfortunately, it's already too late -
Because at the same time that the crossbow arrows were fired from behind, the officers and soldiers outside the door also rushed over like a tide after Sun Tu shouted. This group of officers and soldiers was not the weak Lingzhou Township Army, but the Shandong New Army, which was dominated by the Qingzhou Army. With full of anger, they directly broke open the weak granary door, and then all the weapons They headed towards Wei Deli and others who were still trying their best to dodge the sharp arrow attack.
Even if you are brave enough to fight like a Jurchen, when facing an enemy hundreds of times stronger, the only thing you can do is close your eyes and wait for death. They didn't even have time to lift their knives. Countless knives and spears had already penetrated their bodies. With the screams, these people fell down immediately, and were immediately cut into pieces by random knives and turned into piles of fragments.
Sun Tu was in a daze when he saw this scene. He did not expect that these soldiers would be so vicious, not only killing people, but also dismembering their bodies.
In fact, this is understandable. Although the Jin soldiers were defeated before, this was actually only the credit of the Qingzhou army. For other Shandong soldiers, the battle last night was obviously a huge humiliation. They were always holding back anger in their hearts. . Now that they finally had someone to vent to, it was naturally impossible for them to hold anything back.
As a result, Wei Deli and others were in great misfortune, and four or five of them died under the swords of the army in the most miserable and humiliating way. If there really is an afterlife, they will definitely not dare to come to the Song Dynasty again, let alone believe any word of the Song Dynasty people.
But no matter what, Sun Tu still successfully solved the last trouble in Lingzhou City. This trouble that had troubled the officers and soldiers in the city for a whole night was successfully resolved in less than half an hour after he took action.
The sharp knife cuts out and the mess is resolved.
