At this time, Nie Chen was quite as powerful as Li Yunlong. If he was given another Italian cannon, he would really dare to blast Wang Yue directly.
After Nie Chen explained some more about the battle, at the end, he repeatedly told him to keep an eye on the food and grass at night to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
This Wang Yue was a clever man. He couldn't wait to take the initiative and make Nie Chen suspicious and worried.
Therefore, he who owns the horse team will definitely not miss this opportunity.
At night, Nie Chen fell asleep. In a daze, he heard noises and killings coming from the camp.
So he turned over and continued to sleep.
Just kidding, with hundreds of thousands of troops and so many excellent commanders, can you still let a few hundred people break the camp?
Nie Chen still has confidence in his generals.
Nie Chen didn't get up until early the next morning. When he was sitting in the handsome tent having breakfast, Ning Wushuang reported,
"My lord, in the southwest area where our Longxing Army is stationed, the Grain and Grass Battalion was attacked by the enemy. I deliberately let the defense at the gate relax and attracted them in. I ambushed three thousand soldiers and captured them all.
A cavalry of 230 people killed 120 people and captured 110 people alive. "
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"Okay, before we attack the city later, push these more than a hundred people to the front and replace our brother who is hanging on the city gate."
"Lord, won't these more than a hundred people surrender?"
Ning Wushuang asked.
According to Nie Chen's character, he usually surrenders captured enemy troops.
Nie Chen shook his head and said,
"The soldiers who can be sent by Wang Yue to do such dangerous things are basically close confidants. Staying at home after being surrendered is a hidden danger.
They are different from the large army. It is safer to recruit most of them to surrender. After all, not everyone can be a confidant. Most of them are cannon fodder. Others, even those who are loyal, will just follow the crowd.
But these henchmen are different. If it weren't for the brother who was hanging, they would all be killed.
Now using them to exchange that brother back can also win people's hearts and let our brothers in the army see that I, Nie Chen, will not abandon any brother and am willing to exchange a hundred prisoners for one person. This will help to unite people. Military morale. "
"My lord is wise and benevolent, and I will always admire him."
Ning Wushuang said.
"Okay, if you don't know how to flatter someone, don't imitate Liang Peng. It's so blunt."
Nie Chen smiled.
Ning Wushuang blushed and stopped talking.
After finishing their meal, the army also finished its meal, packed up their baggage, pushed their siege weapons, and marched out of the camp in a mighty manner.
The Tiantai Army led by Nie Chen mainly attacked the west, while the Longxing Army, Fengblade Army, and Hepingye Army attacked the other three walls.
Nie Chen's side was the first to arrive, and the other armies were still marching around the city.
A hundred thousand troops were arrayed in the west of the city. As the saying goes, once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
The local army soldiers on the city had never seen such a large formation. Looking at the dense army outside the city, all kinds of large equipment such as trebuchets, city-breaking crossbows, and army-breaking crossbows, they looked like huge It's as terrifying as a war beast, and it's already timid before it even fights.
On top of the city, the soldier was still hanging. Wang Yue wanted to trade his life for Nie Chen not to attack the city with all his strength. He was gambling that Nie Chen's conscience and respect for the military would naturally not let the soldier die.
Nie Chen waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed the more than a hundred prisoners to the front of the formation, and then a messenger galloped forward and shouted,
"Wang Yue, the king in the city, listens and looks at the people outside. Those are the soldiers you sent to our camp to die. My prince said, let our brother go immediately. Otherwise, we will kill him one by one. Cut off their heads, in front of all of you!"
Exchanging prisoners is a negotiation. Since it is a negotiation, you must not reveal all your trump cards at once.
Wang Yue stood on the top of the city, looked at the tied soldiers outside the city, then lowered his head and shouted,
"My officer said, if you retreat twenty miles, I will naturally let him go!"
"Then you are wishful thinking! You used despicable means to capture one of us, and used despicable means to send more than a hundred people to us. Now you are asking you to use one person to exchange the lives of more than a hundred people. Aren't you even willing?
Hahaha, Mr. Wang really loves soldiers as much as his sons. Our prince is so benevolent and righteous that he doesn’t care about your villainous behavior. Isn’t it not enough for you to push those people into the pit of fire once, and you have to push them into the fire pit twice? "
This messenger was also considered a close relative of Nie Chen. He was often responsible for conveying Nie Chen's orders. When he spoke, he also had Nie Chen's demeanor.
Know how to provoke the opponent's military morale.
Wang Yue shouted,
"They are all talking nonsense. They are all loyal men of Da'an. They sacrificed their lives for the country and deserved their death!
If you want to release people, then release them all, and I will return this person to you! "
"Stop talking nonsense, let me go first and let me take him back and make sure he is still alive. Otherwise, we will behead someone every twenty breaths.
I want to see whether you can chop off more heads or we can chop off more heads! "
The messenger shouted unceremoniously.
Wang Yue gritted his teeth. Those more than a hundred people were indeed veterans who had been following him for a long time, and they were also the most loyal to him, so they were willing to do the most dangerous task.
Now I see that there are more than a hundred people still alive. These are the new forces. If they can be exchanged, that would be the best.
He is not willing to let these people die.
"You can't make the decision in this matter. Go back and tell your prince that I am willing to release people first, but he has to return all my more than 100 people. If he agrees, then he will start releasing people. If he doesn't agree, he will just release people." let's hit!"
"Wait! I'll go back and ask my prince!"
The messenger immediately rode back and asked Nie Chen for his opinion.
After obtaining Nie Chen's consent, the messenger went back and shouted,
"Our prince has agreed, let him go as soon as possible!"
Wang Yue sighed and said loudly,
"Okay, I believe that Prince Nie is a good person and will definitely not do anything that breaks his promise!"
He meant these words to Nie Chen's army.
If Nie Chen didn't release him after he released him, he would have a reputation of being unfaithful.
Then, he sent someone to pull up the Feng Army soldier, tied the basket with a rope, and put the soldier down.
The messengers rode over, came to the bottom of the city wall, and pulled out their brother.
"Brother, how are you?"
The soldier's eyes shed tears and he cried and said,
"Brother, I can't move. Wang Yue's dog thief broke all my tendons and hamstrings. I'm a cripple."
