How can an ordinary citizen have such a fine silk kit? Now Wu Yingying revealed his stuff, and the three of them were immediately arrested by Zhang Long. After some interrogation, Wu Yingying finally couldn't hold it, and said everything. This made Wang Hu and the others know that the messenger they had been worried about for help is now dead. In this way, Gao An must have learned about the war in Nanxiong Prefecture much later than expected. In this way, it gave Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu a lot of time to slowly attack this Nanxiong Prefecture City.
Wang Zongshi heard Bai Hexing’s name, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a sneer, and said, “This Bai Hexing is also a life-saver. When he escaped in Wugong Mountain Lingshui Town, he actually gave him life. It's been so long. But the Skynet has recovered, and this time he finally failed to escape the catastrophe."
When Song Emperor Zhao Zhen attacked Wugong Mountain, Wang Zongshi was under Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s account. At that time, almost all of Wugong Mountain’s opponents were wiped out. Only Bai Hexing was left behind. Wang Zongshi waited for the old officials. I wanted to kill Bai Hexing a long time ago.
The generals smiled again, and then Zhang Long said to Wang Hu and Wang Zongshi: "That's right. Isn't Bai Hexing's head still there? General, didn't you say that the kid's head is still useful? Seeing that Nanxiong Zhoucheng is about to be breached, isn't this head of people unnecessary?"
When Wang Hu took people to find Bai Hexing’s body, he found that Bai Hexing’s body had not been burned miraculously. At that time, Wang Hu ordered people to cut off Bai Hexing’s head and save it. Now Zhang Long will be able to cut off the head of Bai Hexing. Have this question.
It was the first time that Wang Zongshi heard of such a thing, and he was also very curious. He turned his head and asked Wang Hu, "Wang Hu, what use is it for you to have such a human head?"
"Haha!" Wang Hu laughed, but did not sell it, and said: "This Bai Hexing is the messenger Liu Yi sent to Gaoan for help, and the news of his death, I believe Liu Yi still doesn't know. If I didn't If he guessed wrong, Liu Yi was afraid that he was still looking forward to the reinforcements sent by Gao An.
Sure enough, in the battles of the past few days, although our army has the superior strength, Liu Jiajun's defense has always been very tenacious. If it were not for hope, this battle would definitely not be fought to such an extent. General Wang Hu, if tomorrow we suddenly take the first level of Bai Hexing outside the city, it will be so bright that the Liu Jiajun defenders will see that the reinforcements they are waiting for will not arrive in time. What do you think it will be? "
Although Wang Zongshi is usually very impulsive, he is not stupid. Wang Hu has said that, how could he not know what Wang Hu meant. Wang Zongshi’s eyes lit up immediately, and the whole person was very excited. He almost didn’t jump up from his seat and shouted loudly: “Haha! If you light up the head like this, I believe the entire Nanxiong prefecture’s defenders, Morale will collapse immediately. Maybe at that time, we won't even have to fight, and we will be able to directly enter Nanxiong Prefecture City. Haha. Wang Hu. This plan is really wonderful, why don't you say it earlier."
Wang Hu smiled and said: "This trick can't be used too early. Don't forget, there are Liu Yi and Zhao Guang in Nanxiong Prefecture. They are not fuel-efficient lamps. If you use it too early, If the Liu family’s army still maintains a large number of soldiers and horses, maybe Liu Yi and Zhao Guang will take the risk to break through. We may not be able to stop them at that time! Your Majesty’s task is to completely wipe out the Liu’s remnants here, absolutely not. Let them run away one and a half."
Wang Hu explained this, Wang Zongshi and others also understood it, naturally they would not say anything more, anyway, in the siege operations these days, the Song army actually suffered little loss, if it were to attack Nanxiong Prefecture with all its strength In the case of the city, there will definitely be more dead and wounded soldiers than now. Hua Zhonglong, who was sitting next to Cui Hu, immediately thumped his thigh in excitement, and shouted: "Great. In this way, we will be able to break this Nanxiong Prefecture city tomorrow."
"Haha!" Wang Hu and Wang Zongshi smiled at each other, and there was a light of excitement in each other's eyes. Wang Hu finally said to everyone: "Okay! Although it is the last battle, we can't take it lightly. Wang Hu General. Tomorrow you will besiege the south and east of the city with your troops and horses. I will order my troops to attack the north and east of the city. As for the heads of Bai Hexing, look at Liu Yi and Zhao Guang hiding at that city gate. , We will show the white heads in front of them."
As soon as Wang Hu said this, the generals all laughed, as if they had seen the scene of Nanxiong Zhoucheng being breached. None of the people here would think how despicable Wang Hu's strategy is. After all, everyone is a veteran who has fought for a lifetime, but he is not as naive as the fledgling boy.
Wang Zongshi nodded, although according to his position, Wang Zongshi's navy commander's military position should be higher than that of the army commander Wang Hu. However, Wang Zongshi had no opinion on Wang Hu's arrangement. And Wang Hu continued: "Lao Hou. You lead the cavalry to guard the north of the city. Tonight, we must prevent Liu Yi and Zhao Guang from breaking through and go to Gaoan. Although they are unlikely to succeed in breaking through, they still do a good job. It’s better to prepare."
Zhang Long was still very convinced by Wang Hu. Although Zhang Long was a little unhappy that he could not participate in the final battle, he still had no objection to Wang Hu's order.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hu made some arrangements for other parties to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the battle of tomorrow. According to Wang Hu's intention, he would rather postpone the battle for a few more days to ensure that the Liu family would not miss anyone.
After a full night’s rest, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu were ready to launch the final attack on Nanxiong Zhoucheng with their troops. But when they managed to rectify their troops and came to the outside of Nanxiong Zhoucheng. At that time, it was dumbfounded.
I saw a raging fire ignited on the east, south and east of the city of Nanxiong Prefecture. That high flame filled the entire city. Looking at the flames soaring to the sky, Wang Zongshi, Wang Hu and others were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened. Zhang Long said in astonishment, "Isn't it because Liu Yi knew that he couldn't hold the city, and he was going to burn the entire Nanxiong Prefecture city to a fiery city?"
As soon as Zhang Long said this, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu's heart jumped, which is not impossible. At that time, Zhao Yun expedition to Bianliang and cooperated with Yue Fei's subordinates to defeat the army of the State of Qi. Didn't Qi Emperor Liu Yu die just before breaking the city? Could it be that Liu Yi really dare to do such a desolate thing, let all the people in Nanxiong Zhoucheng come and bury him
"No." At this time, Zhang Long, the best-sighted among the generals, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and shouted: "The fire was only concentrated at the head of the city. In the three directions of the east, south and west of the city, only the north of the city did not see any signs of burning."
Zhang Long was not very sure when he said this. After all, the generals were all located in the south of the city, and to see the situation clearly, they had to go to the north. But after listening to Zhang Long's words, Wang Hu and others all had a gloomy face, completely unable to figure out what the other party was doing.
But just thinking hard was not the answer, and immediately Wang Hu suggested that everyone go to the north of the city to see the situation. Of course, Chengdong, Chengnan, and Chengxi can’t just be left alone. Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu together, leaving Hua Zhonglong, Zhang Long and Zhang Honglie to guard in these three directions respectively, playing with the defensive army. Tricks.
When Wang Zongshi, Wang Hu and Cui Hu arrived in the north of the city, Zhang Long, who had been guarding here last night, immediately stepped forward to greet them. When he saw Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu, he immediately went forward and saluted. Before Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu asked, Zhang Long immediately said: "Generals, the defenders in the city just launched a raid. Fortunately, I was careful. They were repelled."
"Assault?" Both Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu wrinkled their brows, turned their heads and looked at Nanxiong Zhoucheng. Zhang Long really didn't get it wrong. Unlike other three-faced city heads, there is no one on the city head north of the city. The slightest spark. However, on the head of the city to the north, it was densely packed with defenders and soldiers, looking like they were waiting. Cui Hu who was on the side seemed to have thought of something when he saw it. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and immediately exclaimed.
Hearing Cui Hu's exclamation, Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu both turned their heads. Wang Zongshi also knew that his old subordinate would never make such a move for no reason, and quickly asked, "Cui Hu, what's wrong? Do you know what's going on?"
Cui Hu nodded solemnly, and said to Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu: "Commander, General Wang Hu. I think I guess what Liu Yi is doing. I'm afraid they are going to fight us desperately at this time. Liu Yiming is posing. It gave up the defense of the other three gates and concentrated the defenders on the north of the city. Of course, they would not really let us attack the other three gates, so they set the city on fire. There is a raging fire there, The army simply cannot invade from those three-sided gates."
According to Cui Hu’s analysis, both Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu were lost in thought, while Zhang Long, who had been staying by the side, asked in disbelief: “How is this possible? Just a fire wants to block our army. Liu Yi is too whimsical, right? Even if we don't attack from the top of the city, no one will hinder us, we can completely break through the city gate and attack the city."
"No." Cui Hu didn't need to answer this time. Wang Hu also figured out the reason, shook his head and said, "Cui Hu made sense. I'm afraid Liu Yi really made this idea. As for the gate of the city. Well, it's easy to solve. As long as the city gate is sealed with a boulder, even if we smash the city gate, the fire is blocked by the stone, so that we can't attack the city. "Seal the city gate." Trick, when Huazhonglong guarded the Shangang Junzhai, it was precisely this trick that blocked the army of Shanyue barbarians.
"But if this is the case, why didn't Liu Yi just use this trick in the north of the city?" Wang Zongshi was obviously still a little puzzled, and asked: "He kept the north part of the city and didn't burn it. Didn't he leave it to himself? A flaw? As long as we can break through the north of the city, isn't everything he did at the other three gates in vain?"
After thinking about the problems, Wang Hu’s face was also much calmer, and he explained to Wang Zongshi: “It’s not that they don’t want to do this, but they can’t do it. This method can only buy them a day or two at most. , Setting fire to the city’s head like this every day from morning to night, it would consume a lot of fuel. No matter how rich the materials in Nanxiong Prefecture are, it’s impossible to support it for too long. If this burns so much that there is nothing to burn, then They can only sit and wait to die. So they dare not seal all the gates on all sides, and they must leave a gate for their final breakout."
Cui Hu sighed and said, "So, this time Liu Yi and Zhao Guang will definitely be desperate. Otherwise, they will definitely not take this dangerous move. I also just thought of what General Wang Hu said last night. Out of their intentions, I believe that Liu Yi and Zhao Guang are my bets, betting that Gao'an's reinforcements will arrive within the next two days."
Both Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu nodded and agreed with Cui Hu’s statement, but after all, this was just a guess. Immediately, Wang Zongshi asked his soldiers to send orders, and Hua Zhonglong and others led the army to attack and attack the city gate directly. See if the city gate is really sealed.
But at this time, Wang Hu looked at the head of Nanxiong Zhoucheng in the distance, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up and said to Wang Zongshi: "General Wang Hu. They put all their hopes on Gaoan’s reinforcements like this. We take out the head of Bai Hexing at this time. What do you think the defenders on the city will react?"
"Right!" At this time, Wang Zongshi also remembered what Wang Hu said yesterday. When his eyes lit up, he immediately said: "Haha! Now is a good time to show your head. Come on. Hang me up with that head. On the flagpole. People carry the flagpole for me to walk around outside the city wall."
"Hey!" The soldiers behind him immediately gave Wang Zongshi a fist. Wang Zongshi and Wang Hu had been prepared for them a long time ago, and the head of Bai Hexing was also very well preserved, and even made people ban Bai He. The dead face of Xing was cleaned, so that the defenders on the top of the city could see clearly what Bai He Xing looked like.
Immediately, there was a soldier of Gao Wang Kangda, riding a tall horse, carrying a thick flagpole, and at the top of this flagpole, a human head hung on it, it was Bai Hexing’s head. .
For this operation, when Wang Hu just found Bai Hexing’s corpse and cut off the head of Bai Hexing, he ordered people to embalm the head of Bai Hexing with white ash, so now, Bai Hexing The human head still kept the appearance of the time he had just died, his eyes widened, and his face was full of consternation and fear. It's just that his face has turned blue, even a little dark.
"Master Zhao! The soldiers are ready. As long as the enemy forces attack the city, the soldiers will fight to the end." Liu Hua saluted Zhao Guang with his only hand. Although Liu Hua is missing a hand, Liu Hua has always been brave and good at fighting, and it has also won the respect of Liu Jiajun.
Therefore, Liu Hua's status has not declined at all, but it has made the soldiers respect him more and more. Zhao Guang also knew that Liu Hua would never go to rest obediently, so he simply entrusted him with the task of rectifying the military spirit.
Hearing Liu Hua’s report, Zhao Guang nodded, then turned to the other generals and said, "Everyone, today is the key. As long as today, the reinforcements of Gao'an will arrive tomorrow. At that time, we will be able to arrive. Combine the inside with the outside and defeat the Song army. Everyone must hold on." In Zhao Guang's heart, there is no bottom line about whether Gao'an's reinforcements can be reached, but in front of the soldiers, Zhao Guang dare not say that.
What Zhao Guang thought in his heart, the soldiers present did not know. They blindly trusted Zhao Guang and made them believe Zhao Guang's words without any reason. In addition, these days, they were beaten so badly by the Song Army. After hearing that Zhao Guang said that they could finally counterattack the Song Army, they all shouted in excitement, and their morale immediately rose to the top. Seeing the excitement of the soldiers, Zhao Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It is helpless to lie, at least there is still some strength to fight.
"Hey. Look, the enemy is moving." Zhu Hao suddenly brightened his eyes, looked outside the city and shouted, and at the same time raised his finger to the outside of the city. All the soldiers followed Zhu Hao's hands and looked over. Sure enough, the crowd in the Song Army formation outside the city ran away, but rushed out, carrying a flagpole and rushing towards the city gate.
