After a while, shouts came from inside,
"Don't shoot the arrows! We surrender! We tied up the commander! Don't shoot the arrows!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen waved his hand, signaling the army to retreat, leaving room for the people inside to come out.
Soon, soldiers with their hands raised ran out of the sea of fire. After they came out, they fell to the ground and took a big breath of fresh air.
As more and more people came out, Nie Chen also saw a man being carried out with big ties. Several soldiers carried him and rushed out, threw him to the ground, and then knelt in front of Nie Chen and said,
"Sir, we have tied up the general, please don't kill us."
When Nie Chen saw this, he asked Zhou Long behind him for twenty taels of silver and threw it to those people.
The silver was too heavy, so he always asked his guards to carry it.
Although he also looked down on sellers who were seeking glory, as a lord, he had to keep his word and do what he said.
"Take the prisoner into custody, put out the fire quickly, and carry this man to the commander's tent for me."
"As you command!"
Nie Chen led everyone to the commander's tent, and the soldiers put the commander on the ground.
The commander's face was so dark that he couldn't stop coughing.
Liang Peng poured a bowl of water himself, walked to the commander and said,
"Commander Zhao, have a drink of water."
When Commander Zhao saw the water, he quickly opened his mouth and drank it, moistening his throat and breathing heavily.
After a while, he sat up straight, sat on the ground, looked at Liang Peng and asked,
"you know me?"
"I know you. I used to be a soldier at Guiling Pass. I belonged to the third battalion. You are the commander of the sixth battalion, Zhao Feng."
"Bah, it turns out he is also a seller looking for glory!"
Zhao Feng glared at Liang Peng fiercely.
Liang Peng didn't pay attention to what he said, but asked,
"Commander Zhao, who is the commander of Guiling Pass now? Why did you let a separate battalion come to attack the camp?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Don't take words from me. I won't say anything."
Zhao Feng snorted coldly.
Liang Peng sat on the chair and said,
"Originally I didn't understand why the people from Guiling Pass came to steal the camp, but now that I see you, I understand.
There should be no general in Guiling Pass now, there are only five of you commanders, and among the five of you, no one obeys the other, and everyone wants to be the boss.
You are a member of the radical faction, and you must have proposed coming over to steal the camp while our army is still on a weak footing, but others do not agree.
So out of anger, you came over alone to attack the camp with your troops, right? "
"I know you still ask."
Zhao Feng glared at him, and then said angrily,
"Those four cowardly people only know how to fight for power and gain, and they don't even think about how to repel the enemy. I kindly proposed a method, but they still don't agree, so I will definitely have to go it alone.
As long as I can burn your food and grass, you won't be able to fight for a few days before you have to retreat, and we can hold on until reinforcements arrive.
What a pity, those four cowards are so cowardly! "
"Then have you ever thought that if you attack the camp before it gets dark and people haven't rested yet, will you kill your brothers?"
"Once you join the army, you can't be greedy for life and afraid of death. Why should you be a soldier if you are afraid of death? Now is the time for us to serve our lord. These traitors even kidnapped me, you cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"It's precisely because you don't regard their lives as your own that they want to tie you up.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they must not die in vain. Yao must die in his proper way. If the general is incompetent and kills the entire army, it is appropriate for someone to tie you up.
Fortunately, the other four commanders are still awake and did not do stupid things with you. Otherwise, our army would really have taken down Guiling Pass without any effort.
I really don't know what you think if you want five thousand of you to abandon the city wall and come to fight in the field with 30,000 of us. "
Liang Peng reached out and took it out from his pocket. He somehow managed to conjure up a platycodon, put it in his mouth and started to bite it lightly.
Nie Chen had seen this situation several times. When Liang Peng was thinking, he liked to hold something in his mouth.
Well, it's time to hunt for tobacco seeds and get some tobacco leaves out.
Liang Peng looked at Nie Chen and said,
"My lord, the situation at Guiling Pass is generally clear. There are still 4,000 people left. Among the four leaders, none of them obeys the other. No one can command the entire army in a unified way.
Now, how do you deal with this person? "
Nie Chen looked at Zhao Feng on the ground and said,
"Listening to what you say, this person seems pretty useless."
"More or less, he is from a small aristocratic family. He has become a leader by virtue of his background. He has great ambitions but little talent. He has no ideas. He doesn't know how to lead troops in war. He only does bad things. You can see it from today's battle. If I hadn't done it on purpose. Remove the patrols and guards, and they can't even get in through the back door.
The only commendable thing about this man is his loyalty. Unfortunately, he is loyal to the enemy, not to us. "
"Okay, if that's the case, just chop it down. If you keep it, you'll get nothing."
Liang Peng nodded and said no more.
The soldiers outside the door came in and dragged Zhao Feng out. Zhao Feng cursed and asked about Nie Chen's genealogy. Unfortunately, he was not good at fighting, and he was not very good at swearing. He was really useless.
After a while, the sound stopped suddenly, and he must have been chopped.
That night, everyone went to rest and recharge their batteries for the next day's battle.
Early the next morning, Nie Chen and others all got up. After breakfast, they ordered their troops and generals, took the city-breaking crossbows and trebuchets, and set off towards Guiling Pass in a mighty manner.
After arriving a few hundred steps away from Guiling Pass, the soldiers began to deploy siege weapons and aimed at the city head one by one.
Nie Chen led the generals to the front of the formation and said with a smile,
"In the past, when we were guarding Qingfeng Village and the county seat, Heifeng leader would beat us, Wang Hao would beat us, Ye Xing would beat us, Liu Hu would beat us, and even the barbarians would beat us.
We were beaten by everyone and attacked by many people.
Today, the offensive and defensive sides are finally reversed. It is our turn to attack others. This time, we must use our power and strive to defeat the enemy in one go. "
Ma Niubi patted his chest and said,
"Don't worry, lord. When we attack the city later, my old horse will be the first to rush forward. I will carry a ladder and rush forward alone. I must be the first to reach the top of the city. Xiao Lin Guang and Yue Dongwen , you will definitely not be able to compete with me.”
"You fart, I want to be the first to climb the city!"
Yue Dongwen was unconvinced and said.
Lin Guang was steady and too lazy to argue with them.
Nie Chen patted Weng Qiuchan's hand and said,
"Just stay beside me for a while and don't rush forward in a hurry. You are so beautiful. If the enemy catches you, he will definitely not return it to me."
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes and said,
"Do I have to worry about you? My mission is to keep an eye on you and not let you rush forward!"
