Lu Ci's expression changed dramatically, he snatched the secret letter away, glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Ci stared at the deputy general fiercely: "You damn girl, are you desperate for your life? How dare you secretly hide the enemy's surrender letter. If an outsider discovers it, you won't be able to lose it even if you have a hundred heads!"
"Quickly kill this idea for me. As for this letter, just burn it!"
Although Lu Ci didn't like Ma Tingyun, he knew the value of Xiongying Ridge in his heart.
Once Xiongying Ridge is lost, not to mention Ma Tingyun, even Lu Ci will be killed.
If he hadn't looked at the lieutenant, but his old subordinate for many years, Lu Ci would have executed this rebellious bastard on the spot.
The deputy general did not give up: "General, the price offered by Qin Feng is probably beyond your imagination."
"The things in this letter cannot be earned even if you and I work hard for ten lifetimes."
The deputy general recalled the price offered by Qin Feng, his face flushed with excitement.
"In terms of silver alone, there are five hundred thousand taels of silver! We will buy a house and property in Liang Guo. As long as we nod our heads, we can become the richest landowners in Liang Guo."
"That's not all! Qin Feng also promised to help us hide our identities and never let Night Owl discover our whereabouts, so that we can sit back and relax for generations to come."
Five hundred thousand taels of silver...
After learning about Qin Feng's quotation, even Lu Ci couldn't help but secretly sighed.
As expected of Qin Feng, he is really generous!
But considering Ye Xiao's vast magical power, although the five hundred thousand taels is a lot, he is afraid that he will take it but lose his life.
Qin Feng even paved the way out for Lu Ci, and this "hidden identity" way out was what really impressed Lu Ci.
But when he thought of betraying Dadi, Lu Ci still hesitated.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Lu Ci couldn't help but frown: "Where did you get this letter?"
The lieutenant general did not hide anything. On the contrary, he wrote lightly: "General, the entire Eagle Ridge is surrounded by Qin Feng's army. Outside these four walls, there are Beixi troops and horses active."
"Just last night, someone shot this letter into the city with a bow and arrow. It was picked up by a pawn below. After several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of a humble official."
"Furthermore, I have already conducted a secret investigation, and hundreds of letters were sent in last night."
"Except for this one, all the other letters have been destroyed by humble officials, and those who know about Zhao'an have also kept silent."
After hearing this, Lu Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, Lu Ci still shook his head: "This matter... cannot be done! How can I commit treason for the sake of wealth and honor because I have received the favor of Dadi in this life?"
At this moment, goalkeeper Liu Chi, who had been standing beside him silently, suddenly came over.
"General, the opportunity has come, but you must seize it. After passing this village, there will be no such store."
"Just now, when the general came out of the city to fight, Qin Feng's people shot Zhao'an's letter into the city again. The general didn't know how to tell the general before, but now it's okay. Qin Feng has already raised the price, as long as the general nods , the general will have five hundred thousand silver for himself, and the other generals who are willing to surrender will each receive one hundred thousand taels of silver."
The deputy general's eyes gleamed: "What are you waiting for? We have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years in order to repay our national debt, and we have watched countless brothers shed blood on the battlefield. What's the result?"
"That bastard Ma Tingyun watched helplessly as the corpses of the fallen soldiers were humiliated and destroyed by Qin Feng, but he remained indifferent."
"After all, this is also our fate in the future!"
"You have also seen Qin Feng's methods. Since Qin Feng wants to attack the city, then the Eagle Ridge will definitely not be able to defend it! If we wait for the city gate to be breached, we will not only miss the opportunity in vain, but also have to lead the way and kill him. , like chickens and dogs!”
Lu Ci lowered his head and said nothing, clutching the letter tightly. He felt chilled when he recalled that Ma Tingyun ignored the indifference of the sacrificed soldiers just now.
However, betraying one's country for glory was really hard for Lu Ci to accept.
While Lu Ci was hesitating, the messengers were running back and forth in the commander's mansion.
In the entire commander's mansion, there were only two people, Ma Tingyun and staff advisor Li Zhao.
"General, Beixi soldiers and horses have finished transporting the bodies. For some reason, they left the bodies where they were and left one after another."
Ma Tingyun blurted out without even thinking: "Give me an order to transfer everyone on the city wall except the local defenders!"
"No one is allowed to mention going out of the city to snatch corpses, otherwise, military law will be dealt with!"
Those three piles of corpses were Qin Feng's bait.
As long as you go out of the city to seize the corpse, you will inevitably face huge casualties. Right now, everything must be done to defend the city first!
At this moment, the messenger rushed into the commander's mansion again: "General, the enemy troops on the front line have moved and started transporting wood to the vicinity of the corpse pile."
As soon as he said this, Ma Tingyun couldn't help but sneer: "Huh, does Qin Feng want to help us cremate the body? The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the chicken, and it must have bad intentions! Don't pay attention!"
Military advisor Li Zhao, who was standing aside, frowned: "Qin Feng was very cunning and took great pains to dig out the corpse and send it to the city. It was by no means as simple as bait. At this time, he also transported wood to the front line, which further proved that Qin Feng The wind has sinister intentions.”
"In my opinion, no matter what Qin Feng's wishful thinking, he must not be allowed to succeed!"
"The pile of corpses is only a hundred steps away from the city wall. Why not send more archers and fire rockets to burn the wood."
Hearing this, Ma Tingyun couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "That's right, let's do it!"
In less than half an hour, the fortress walls were already crowded with archers, lighting their arrows and aiming at the pile of wood in the distance.
Although the jingling arrows were not accurate, there were still many arrows that hit dead mice.
Soon, the wood that had just been transported to the front line was devoured by the raging fire.
The messenger ran back to the forward camp panting.
"Commander, the enemy's fire attack has caused heavy losses in our army's timber."
Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the raging fire burning in the distance. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I saw it all."
"Give me the order to re-plan the material storage point and retreat fifty steps."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Hu couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Qin, did you just retreat fifty steps?"
"Even so, it's only a hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall of Eagle Ridge."
"The foot archers in the city can still hit the wood by being thrown from a high position."
Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "If you don't give them a taste of the sweetness, how can they relax their vigilance?"
Ning Hu suddenly realized that together with Qin Feng, he had begun to set a trap for the defenders in the city!
As expected, the material storage point retreated fifty steps was once again ignited by rockets fired from the city.
The raging fire exploded, lighting up the night sky.
Ning Hu felt heartbroken when he saw it: "The quality of the wood lost during all this is worth hundreds of taels of silver."
But Qin Feng was smiling: "It's just a small amount of money, nothing worth mentioning."
"As long as we can capture Eagle Ridge, no matter how much money we spend, it will still be a profitable business."
"Send the order and ask the Jin Yiwei to continue delivering Zhao'an letters into the city. I don't believe it. There are no people who are greedy for money in such a big city!"
"As long as we have internal support, the attack on the city will be just around the corner..."
