What's more, this time the enemy really came in a strange way. He couldn't understand that the county town garrisoned by only 20,000 people would dare to provoke his 400,000-strong army without looking at the wind.
Is the other side's county guard really a person who doesn't know how to live or die?
That is naturally impossible. No one who can sit in the position of county guard is a fool.
Nie Chen sat on the chair, narrowed his eyes and said,
"Shuoyue County, the governor should be named Wang Yue. He is a middle-aged scholar, not a military officer. I met him once in the capital last year, but he didn't say anything to me. I didn't have much impression of him."
Speaking of this, Nie Chen said,
"The army will set up camp today, prepare ordnance, and attack the city tomorrow. I'll go meet the county guard Wang Yue first to see if he really has three heads and six arms!"
"My lord, are you going to see that Wang Yue?"
Ouyang Ming asked with a frown.
"Well, I have nothing to do anyway. Let's go see what the hell he is planning."
Nie Chen stood up, put on his armor and helmet, picked up his knife, and walked outside.
"My lord, if you want to see the enemy's commander, how can you go with only guards? Send 10,000 cavalry to escort him."
Ning Wushuang said quickly.
"It's not necessary, and it's not that far away. How dare he go out of the city to kill me?"
Nie Chen took Zhou Long, Zhou Hu, and fifty guards and galloped towards the outside of the camp.
Zhou An also followed on a horse.
"The military advisor is a little worried and asked me to protect the lord."
"Okay, let's go with that piece."
Nie Chen led them towards the city wall a mile away.
Soon, they saw the city wall and the soldier wearing Fengjun armor, with his hands tied and hanging from the city gate.
Seeing this scene, Nie Chen secretly gritted his teeth and continued to look up.
I saw a man wearing a scribe's official uniform, sitting on the top of the city, with a guqin in front of him, playing the qin with his eyes closed.
The sound of the piano was majestic, like a war song, vigorous and vigorous, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping past.
Nie Chen's eyes narrowed.
Okay, okay, are you playing an empty city strategy with me?
Zhou An looked at Wang Yue playing the piano calmly and elegantly, and became furious and said,
"Lord, I feel like this man is so pretentious. I really want to shoot him to death with an arrow."
"It's a pity that Madam is not here. If Madam were here, with her ability to cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps, it would be easy to shoot Wang Yue to death with one arrow."
"Then you have been with Madam for so long, haven't you learned some of Madam's archery skills?"
Zhou An asked straightforwardly.
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this and said,
"First, she has been with me for so long, not me.
Second, are you a military commander or am I a military commander? Why do you still hold me to the standards of a military commander? "
Zhou An turned his head and made a tut-tut sound.
Nie Chen shouted towards the top of the city,
"Master Wang, I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you?"
Wang Yue opened his eyes, stood up, clasped his hands and said,
"I'm lowered to the post, Wang Yue, to pay my respects to Lord Dafeng Zhengbei."
"Master Wang, they say that a loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters. You are the governor of Dafeng County and the official of the court. Why did you betray the court and join the rebel Qian Anping?"
"Prince Nie is joking. I am a loyal minister who does not care about the two masters, so I do this. I am a member of the emperor's staff, and I have been favored by my master in this life. Now that the wind is strong and there is no law, my master has risen up, founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor." Naturally, I want to continue to serve our Lord.
Lord Nie, I know that you are eloquent and good at recruiting surrender, but I advise you to save your energy. No matter what you say, I will never abandon my lord and surrender to you. "
Seeing Wang Yue's tough attitude, Nie Chen asked next,
"Okay, in that case, let's see each other on the battlefield. It's just that, Sir Wang, when the two armies were fighting, I didn't kill the envoy. I sent someone to negotiate with you, but you tied up my envoy and hung him on the city gate. What's the purpose? But do you look down on me?"
Wang Yue smiled and replied,
"Prince Nie has misunderstood. It's not that the official looks down on the prince. It's actually the envoy who insulted my Majesty, which made the official angry.
Since ancient times, the lord has humiliated his ministers to death, and the subordinate officials have the heavy responsibility of defending the city. They cannot die to apologize for their sins. They can only tie the culprit to the city gate and give him a small punishment.
What's more, the lower official didn't kill him, which didn't violate the rules of Buza.
If Prince Nie wants to save someone, he can just send someone up to cut the rope and save the person.
Or, if Prince Nie's army retreats twenty miles, the subordinate will personally put him down and send someone back to your military camp.
What do you think? "
Nie Chen's face darkened. How could he still not know what the other party meant?
If the other party does not kill the envoy, it is not a rule not to kill the envoy, but to hang the living person on the top of the city. In this way, if Nie Chen wants to attack the city, those city-breaking crossbows and trebuchets will definitely attack First, crush the soldier to death. When the time comes, Nie Chen will kill his own soldier.
As long as the city is attacked and the sword has no eyes, the soldier will definitely be killed.
But if they don't attack the city and wait until the soldier dies naturally, the other party will just delay the attack.
Really evil intentions.
Nie Chen sneered and said,
"Wang Yue, then you are just dreaming. Do you really think that one soldier alone can stop my attack?
I have an army of 400,000 men under my command. It only takes one morning to break into the city and kill you without leaving a single piece of armor behind! "
Wang Yue laughed and said,
"Okay, okay, then, prince, please come over. Your Majesty and the 100,000 elite troops in the city are waiting for you. After you enter the city, I will have a drink with you."
Ha ha ha ha……"
Nie Chen laughed angrily.
If the opponent had an army of 100,000, Nie Chen would dare to cut off his own head and play it as a ball.
The Shadow Guards and scouts have been watching. There is no way that an extra 100,000 troops will appear in Shuoyue County for no reason.
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he quietly asked the general beside him,
"Are you all ready?"
"It's been debugged."
"It will be launched after debugging. What are you waiting for? I have almost nothing to talk to him about."
"As you command!"
The general immediately ran towards the bottom of the city wall.
Nie Chen pointed at Wang Yue and shouted,
"Wang Yue, good words can't persuade the damned one. Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for beheading your whole family after breaking the city."
After finishing speaking, Nie Chen was about to leave when he suddenly saw several huge rocks flying from the corner of his eye.
Trebuchet!
"Let's go!"
Nie Chen shouted loudly, turned around and ran away. Zhou An and others immediately ran away with him.
They ran fast, but the guards did not run fast. Some of the guards did not have time to turn their horses and were hit by stones from the trebuchet.
The man and the horse were smashed into a pulp on the spot.
