Chapter 503 Outsmarting Hulao Pass (4) (Part [-])

"Who is your uncle, let the fart go!" Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong yelled angrily.

"We came here this time to save you. Originally, our Majesty wanted to set up cannons to forcibly attack the city. With 150 cannons and 10 horses, can the small Hulao Pass be held? It will definitely be destroyed by then, although We are not relatives, but we are better than relatives. Although we surrendered to the Ming court, we are already enemies and we cannot be ruthless. Therefore, we volunteered to rescue you. We dare not advise you to surrender to the court. However, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Don't do unnecessary resistance anymore. Submitting to Ming Dynasty is the only way out. Daming has been overthrowing for 300 years. Whoever wants to overthrow it can be overthrown? Since ancient times, there have been a few peasant uprisings that have ended well. From Chen Sheng to Wu Guang to the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty (Zhu Yousong almost didn't let them tell the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom), which time was it not suppressed by blood? More importantly, the current Ming Dynasty is a wise and wise emperor, we don't need to To rebel against him, as long as you are willing to surrender, His Majesty said that you will be pardoned, no matter how big your previous crimes are, they will all be wiped out. Those who used to be officials will still be officials, and those who are soldiers will still be soldiers. The local yamen received money and food, returned to the countryside to do farming and business, and lived and worked in peace and contentment. Even if the father and mother came down later, His Majesty also said that they were all treated equally. His Majesty said that he had long forgotten about the Fulu Banquet in Luoyang a few years ago. Please don't have any worries."

Facing the scolding, Huiying Huimei and Zhang Nai completely ignored them, and still walked forward, talking while walking.

3000 people followed Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai to the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass, each looking for acquaintances, also started to make daily routines.

"Brother Zhang, Lao Li, this is absolutely true. Our majesty has said so, and he has done so. We can testify that the prisoners are treated preferentially, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Your majesty has been promoted to the rank of President Qian. Wang has also joined the Imperial Army. Lao Zhang, Lao Huang and Xiao Liu have all received money and food and went back to the countryside to work in agriculture. Brother, brother, stop fighting. Emperor Hongguang is a benevolent king who is rare in the ages. The prince is much stronger..."

Now the soldiers on the top of the city put down all the drawn bows and arrows, and the artillerymen who ignited did not light. They poked their heads out one after another and got involved with the people below the city.

A month or two ago, they were still working together, eating and living together, and fighting side by side.Some are still relatives and friends, neighbors, and during the long-term battle, they shared the same hatred and helped each other. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as brothers.

This situation made them unable to draw their bows and arrows, and their cannons could not be fired.

"Old Li, weren't you still a banner leader two months ago, why are you now President Qian?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just let the old Wang and the others turn to the light. General Ma said that I had meritorious service and gave me a promotion. I don't know if it was me. You know Lao Huang. A year ago, he was still a recruit. , made meritorious service twice, and now he has entered the imperial army and was appointed as a small banner. There are many others like us, brother, how are you doing?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I really envy you, we haven't even been paid for two months after losing a battle."

"Brother, tell me if you are short of money. I have a salary that has just been paid. Let me give you five liang of money first." Saying this, Boss Qian took out a piece of silver from his pocket and went up to the city.

"Thank you Brother Li."

"Which one of our brothers is with whom, we still use this..."

For a while, the officers and soldiers in the city and the city called brothers and sisters, talked about their daily routines, and recounted their old love, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Song Xiance knew at this time that Zhu Yousong used this trick to break the morale of the army. If this continues, will there be another fight in this battle?

Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong were even more furious. He didn't understand what ecstasy soup Zhu Yousong had given these people. Could it be that what these 3000 people said was true?
What made them even more puzzled was that Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai also followed Zhu Yousong wholeheartedly, saying that they came to repent and save them, but they were clearly here to persuade them to surrender. Against Gao Guiying and his wife, the soldiers on the top of the city now have orders to stop, which is not bad!

The two were furious, pulled out their swords, hacked and hacked several times, and shouted, "Fire arrows, fire guns, do you hear me?"

It is really useful to kill a few, the soldiers on the top of the city will have to shoot arrows, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion will have to fire their cannons.

But their arrows are all shot into the sky, into the open space, their cannons are aimed into the air, and they explode far away, but they don't hurt anyone.

Huiying Huimei and Zhang Nai saw that it was almost done, and the task assigned to them by His Majesty was considered complete. They gave each other a wink, and withdrew the 3000 troops, retreating like a tide.

In this way, most of the bows, arrows and artillery fire of the Dashun Army fell through.

As soon as the 3000 troops were withdrawn, the [-] Dashun army rushed over.

In fact, Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao had already received Zhu Yousong's order. Here Huiying and Huimei Zhang Nai took the old troops of the [-] Dashun Army to renew their feelings with the defenders in Guancheng. The [-] Ming Army over there had already Quietly left the camp and came to the pass.

During this period, the generals of the Dashun Army on the Guancheng were all attracted by the 3000 people below the city. They only cared about chatting with their old acquaintances below the city. The troops started killing the 3000 people below the city, but the soldiers on the top of the city were either disobedient or ineffective. They couldn't bear to face these comrades who cherished Japan and the unarmed brothers with swords and guns.

It wasn't until the 3000 men and horses withdrew that the generals on the top of the city realized that the Ming army was rolling in from far and near. It was obvious that the siege was coming. They hurriedly prepared to fight, but it was too late.

Song Xiance, Liu Fangliang, and Gao Yigong shouted that they were fooled, and quickly ordered the defenders to prepare for the defense, and let the cannons fire first, and the cannons indeed rang.

But the Ming army also rushed over, and they charged under the Guancheng, and the artillery fire on the city hardly played a big role.

The Dashun army in the city rushed to shoot arrows and put stones and rolling logs down, but the Ming army ignored them, braving the rain of arrows and stones and rolling logs, they erected ladders and climbed up. Shooting arrows on the city was used as a cover, and the car that hit the city was also pushed under the city gate and began to crash into the city gate.Casualties were mounting on both sides.

But at this time, the defenders on the city had no fighting spirit, and their hearts were scattered. After the old relationship, some soldiers were shaken. They felt that what Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai said was right, that Emperor Hongguang had such a broad mind and such preferential treatment. Captives, surrendering to Ming Dynasty and returning to their roots is the right way. After being a thief with Li Zicheng for so many years, even though he has established himself as king now, these soldiers still haven't made a name for themselves. Now they are defeated again and again, with an army of fifty thousand and dozens of sects Cannons, the danger of the Yellow River, and the personal command of their King Dashun can't hold it. How can they hold this small tiger prison with only 3 people?If they can't keep them, they will be cannon fodder. How can it be worthwhile to be prisoners?

Since ancient times, the decisive factor in wars is not the number of people, but the morale or the morale of the army. The morale is not high, and the morale of the army is weak. Dashun on Guancheng does not occupy any of them.

Therefore, the Ming army killed Shangguan City in one go...
