Chapter 1034 Going to Die Generously

Although he believed it seven or eight points, Boyan still decided to delay for another day.

The next day's siege battle intensified, with both sides trying their best. Regardless of the damage, Boyan dispatched all the puppet troops, determined to maximize the value of this batch of cannon fodder.

The Southern Song camp also did not dare to be negligent, and responded resolutely.

As the sun set, the surroundings of Lin'an City were once again filled with rivers of blood, and corpses were strewn across the fields, shocking people. The Southern Song camp paid nearly 30,000 casualties, not only cleared all the bunkers, but also wiped out all the Mongolian and puppet troops.

The aggressive "sick cat" is surprisingly lethal.

Although Boyan originally had the purpose of clearing the puppet army, when the puppet army was really killed like this, Boyan was still shocked. The strength of the alien army made Boyan dare not slack off.

That night, Zhang Hongfan received a second letter from Zhang Shijie.

The content of the letter is very simple, only a short sentence: "Since your army is unwilling to accept our army's surrender, then we can only fight to the death, vowing to live and die with Lin'an City, see you on the battlefield!"

Thinking about it, Zhang Shijie completely gave up on the matter of surrender.

After watching it, Boyan was determined, and said to Zhang Hongfan with a smile, "We can talk to them now!"

Early this morning, Kublai Khan wrote back to Boyan, granting Boyan the right to make decisions on the spot and take full charge of negotiating with the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Boyan can make a decision without asking for instructions.

Zhang Hongfan nodded in response.

"Remember, let the Southern Song Dynasty send a powerful minister out of the city to negotiate, and at most two hundred people can only be arranged out of the city." Boyan was still very cautious.

"clear!"

…………

Sixteenth day of the campaign.

This day is still raging with fierce fighting.

After replying to Zhang Shijie, Boyan did not call a truce in order to deceive others, but agreed to secretly negotiate the surrender in the southern suburbs in the evening.

In the morning, a secluded house in the west of the city.

Also in order to deceive others, the members of the Military Aircraft Department chose this secret location for the meeting.

Before the discussion started, the atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified, because it was a false surrender, and according to Boyan's request, going out of the city to negotiate would have to risk his life.

The most important ministers in Boyan's mouth are Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, and Wen Tianxiang. Now that Wen Tianxiang is "stand aside", only Lu and Zhang are left.

"I'll go!" Zhang Shijie said, "I wrote the letter, and if I go out of the city to negotiate, I'm well-known."

Lu Xiufu shook his head resolutely, "It's not right for you to go, the army cannot do without you, so let me go."

Zhang Shijie wanted to say something more, but Lu Xiufu cut off the conversation, and continued: "Negotiation is a matter for civil servants, and I have a duty to do so. The general should stop talking."

Regardless of their abilities, the integrity of the three heroes in the late Song Dynasty is worthy of respect.

Lu Xiufu was calm, and said with a smile: "At the end of the day, I can still do a great thing for the court, and I will die in peace."

Ouyang Shuo was deeply moved by this kind of generosity to die. He couldn't imagine what Lu Xiufu was thinking at the moment when he jumped into the sea with the young emperor on his back in history.

Xiongba took a look at Ouyang Shuo, and for the first time he agreed with Ouyang Shuo's "willfulness".

Seeing that Lu Xiufu had made up his mind, all of you here are not ordinary people, so we calmed down and began to confirm some details of this beheading operation.

Ouyang Shuo originally planned to arrange two hundred Shenwu Guards to accompany Lu Xiufu, but after thinking about it, the Shenwu Guards are too conspicuous, and it is very likely that Boyan will see through them, so he has no choice but to give up in the end.

Whether Lu Xiufu can survive this catastrophe can only be resigned to fate.

…………

Time soon came to evening.

The orange-red sun hangs in the sky, and the bright color becomes lighter and lighter from near to far. A group of vultures hovered continuously in the air, making piercing calls, which made people upset.

With a military order, the mighty Mongolian army receded like a tide, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses and a dilapidated and dirty battlefield.

Suddenly, a side door on the south side opened from the inside.

Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, quietly left the city under the escort of two hundred Song imperial guards. Not far away, a group of Mongolian cavalry came to meet them. After checking their identities, they led them to move on.

Boyan and his party were already waiting on a flat field in the southern suburbs.

Seeing that the Southern Song Dynasty followed the agreement and only sent two hundred soldiers to guard, Boyan finally showed a smile on his face. If he can successfully persuade the Southern Song Dynasty to surrender this time, then Boyan's credit book will add another brilliance.

After the personnel from both sides met each other, they formally entered into negotiations.

Everything looks very normal, but everyone knows that Lin'an City is already very different at this time.

According to the plan, in the west, 50,000 cavalry led by Lian Po, the chief general of the west gate, will quietly gather near the three city gates in the west; .

Then there is the north.

Elai commanded the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Fourth Corps of the Imperial Guard, together with the 30,000 elite cavalry from Luofeng City, a total of 60,000 elite cavalry quietly assembled to the south.

To the south, Zhang Shijie, the leader of the South Gate, led the only 20,000 cavalry in the Song Dynasty, ready to go.

For this beheading operation, the Southern Song camp dispatched a total of 180,000 cavalry, almost wiped out the cavalry in the city, and must achieve the greatest results and complete the counterattack.

Such a large military operation naturally alarmed the Mongolian spies lurking in Lin'an City, but Lin'an had already been under martial law throughout the city, and the Mongolian spies could not transmit information outside the city at all.

half past five.

When the time came, like a starting gun, the city gates on the east, west, and south sides of Lin'an opened simultaneously, and the 180,000 elite cavalry from the Southern Song camp split into three groups and rushed out of the city together.

The sound of horseshoes was urgent, and billowing smoke and dust were rolled up.

At this time, the sky is beautiful, and the sunset glow hangs high, casting dazzling red lights, which are extremely dazzling.

To the south, Elai rode the spirit beast Rakshasa, and led the imperial guards Jingqi at the head of the team. After leaving the city, he didn't even think about it, and went straight to the negotiation place between the two sides.

Zhang Shijie led the rear army, formed a fan shape, and followed closely behind the vanguard.

After leaving the city, the cavalry troops on the east and west sides turned a big bend and went southward together, like two big arcs, forming a semicircle with each other and weaving a big net.

In the South Tower, the god general Wu Qi was ordered to command the three armies to complete the siege.

Once the encirclement net is formed, it will be difficult for Boyan to fly. The roundabout and large encirclement tactics of long-distance raids were originally a masterpiece of the Mongols, but now they are used by the Southern Song Dynasty to deal with them.

…………

When the Southern Song cavalry left the city, the Mongolian army that had just retreated from the front line was resting in their tents and preparing to eat.

Looking at the cavalry who suddenly left the city, the Mongolian cavalry in charge of guarding the periphery were completely dumbfounded. In their impression, the Mongols always took the initiative to attack. They have never seen any city that dared to be attacked by the Mongolian army. Take the initiative to leave the city.

But in a daze, the response of the patrolling troops was not slow at all.

While sending people to warn the camp, they turned their horses to meet the Southern Song cavalry directly.

This is of course a mantis' arm.

The Mongolian cavalry is powerful, but that also needs to be scaled up.

The mere patrol troops could not stir up any storms in front of the 50,000 starting cavalry troops. Before the two sides approached, the patrol troops were completely wiped out and all were shot down.

The cavalry on the two wings did not stop at all, and rushed southward, making sure to complete the encirclement.

When the cavalry of the Southern Song camp had gone far away, the Mongolian army, which received the report, had just sent out the vanguard. Looking at the billowing smoke and dust, they could only eat dirt, and they couldn't keep up with flattering horses.

The entire Mongolian army camp suddenly became a mess, and the chaos was even worse in the south.

Boyan is a cautious person. Even if Lu Xiufu really only took two hundred people out of the city as agreed, Boyan was still worried and set up three checkpoints along the way.

The Ministry of Evil Lai was discovered by the outpost not long after leaving the city and immediately called the police.

Boyan got the report, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he said to Lu Xiufu sinisterly: "Okay, how dare you play tricks, I will take your dog's life first!"

As he spoke, he drew out the scimitar pinned to his waist.

Lu Xiufu pretended to be surprised, and said in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Pretend, continue to pretend!"

Boyan gritted his teeth, "Do you really think that you can defeat us with just one surprise attack?"

Seeing that Lu Xiufu was really at a loss, Zhang Hongfan said: "Master Lu, you are still negotiating with us, and the cavalry rushed out of the city, obviously to put you to death."

At this time, neither Boyan nor Zhang Hongfan knew that the Southern Song Dynasty had actually come out in full force. They thought it was only the vanguard of evil, so they didn't panic too much.

Lu Xiufu's complexion changed, and he said, "The general misunderstood. I don't think it's the imperial army of Song Dynasty who came here. It may be that the news that we are going to surrender was known by others, and they came out of the city to take revenge."

Boyan and Zhang Hongfan looked at each other, and it was difficult to tell whether Lu Xiufu was telling the truth or not, because according to the report from the outpost scouts, it was indeed the alien army.

"Take them into custody first, and prepare to fight!"

Boyan acted neatly and quickly had an idea.

With one order, Boyan's personal soldiers took down all of them, including the 200 Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty. While speaking, the vanguard led by Eilei had already broken through two checkpoints and headed straight for the negotiation site.

"How could it be so fast?!"

Boyan's heart trembled, and for the first time, he felt a sense of comfort.

Since the two sides have been fighting, they have been limited to fighting at the top of the city, and the cavalry units of the Alien Legion have no chance to appear on the stage. This appearance overwhelmed the Mongolian cavalry.

As an experienced general, from the speed of the enemy's surprise attack, Boyan could vaguely judge that the combat strength of the attacking army was probably higher than that of the Mongolian cavalry.

This conclusion is enough to subvert Boyan's three views.

Ever since Genghis Khan ruled the Mongolian grasslands and Mongolian iron cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent, they have never had an opponent. In the hearts of the Mongolians, their cavalry has long been a symbol of invincibility.

Now that such a cavalry unit suddenly appeared, how could Boyan not be shocked.

Seeing that the general was hesitating, Zhang Hongfan on the side came over and said in a low voice, "Commander, the number of enemy troops is unknown at the moment, and the arrival is too sudden. I wonder if it is a conspiracy. Why don't we stay out of the way for now, and wait until we understand the enemy's situation. Let’s do the calculation again, how about it?”

Zhang Hongfan's strategy is a safe one.

After hearing this, Boyan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was a little uncertain for a while.
