Chapter 267 Convince Zhongli
Chapter 267: Persuading Zhong Li
"Hmph, although I have an old friendship with Han Xin, the Chu and Qin armies are now in war. Zhonglimei dare not depose the public for personal gain, nor dare to be the shameless coward who bows to the enemy. So, let's avoid this greeting!" Zhonglimei laughed long, with a look of disdain between his eyebrows.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the princes have fought for their own interests, and as a soldier and a general, fighting on the battlefield is an ordinary thing. If Zhonglimei had no such enlightenment, then he would not be worthy of becoming a powerful general of the Chu army valued by Xiang Yu.
Fu Ge nodded and smiled, "Haha, General Zhongli wants to ask for a battle? That's easy to deal with. With just one order, you, more than 10,000 Chu soldiers, will become a pile of bones in an instant. If you don't believe it, look over there!"
Faced with Zhonglimei's tenacity, Fu Ge did not feel any failure or anger at all. On the contrary, he admired Zhonglimei's persistence quite well. A soldier should have an unyielding integrity and should regard glory as life. If he heard someone surrendered, he would be overwhelmed by the fence, and would be a lot of fence-bearing grass, and it would not be worthy of any doubt.
Following the direction of Fu Ge's finger, the Qin army quickly separated to the two wings, and a stone artillery unit composed of hundreds of stone casters appeared in the middle. This newly formed "artillery" heavy weapon unit was specially transferred from Hangu Pass to deal with the strong bluestone city wall of Julu. Now, it has been used to deal with an rammed earth city wall like Anyang, which collapses in one shot. Needless to say, what the effect will be.
When Zhong Limei saw the Qin army using its trump card to attack the city, his face, which could still calm, suddenly changed. Not only him, but the Chu army generals guarding the city were all frightened to the point of looking earth.
During the battle at Hangu Pass, Zhonglimei also led his army to attack, but the experience of the crushing defeat reminded Zhonglimei still vividly. The stone fort was sprayed out from a high position and burst out cracks. Under the attack of advanced mechanical monsters such as stone catapults, the charge soldiers squeezed into the valley had nowhere to hide.
The last thing the Chu army soldiers could do was to put the bodies of their dead companions on their heads as cover, and this would only temporarily avoid the pain of small pieces of gravel. If the huge rock was unfortunately taken care of, then they would have to wait for death.
"If someone surnamed Fu, if you have a good name, you will fight me with Zhonglimei with real swords and guns. What's the ability to use these broken racks to scare people?" Zhonglimei, who was scared out of cold sweat by the sudden appearance of the stone caster, barely calmed down his beating mind, supported the battlements, and shouted at Fu Ge.
When he fought to the death, Zhonglimei did want to stay in the city when he retreated to Anyang. According to his ideas, it would be best if he could hold on until reinforcements arrived. If he couldn't wait, he would just burn his jades and stones. If the Qin army wanted to annihilate all the Chu army under his command, it would have to pay a considerable price.
However, after seeing the stone caster, Zhonglimei no longer had any hope.
Fight to the death - this wish is good, but you always need to have considerable confidence. Zhonglimei could not imagine how long his army could last under the fierce bombardment of the Qin army's stone casting tools.
"Haha, if General Zhongli wants to have a big battle with Fu, why not go down to the city and hide behind the battlements and be considered a hero?" Fu Ge, who was sure to win, said with infinite pride in his tone under the city.
"Okay, I will go down the city. I, Zhonglimei, are you a greedy person who is afraid of death!"
Compared to the method of arousing generals, Fu Ge, who is familiar with the allusions of thousands of years of history, is naturally much better than Zhonglimei. Only after a few words, Zhonglimei approached his way.
"General Zhongli, this is Qin Gou's aggression plan. You must not leave the city?" Just as Zhongli Mei went down to the city, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a yellow complexion blocked his way.
"Martial Military Military, you need not say much. If the general is afraid of death and does not fight, how can the soldiers sacrifice their lives to obey? If you are not at ease, after I lead the army out of the city, you will lead three thousand troops to respond in the city!" Faced with the advice, Zhong Limei just shook his head impatiently, gave a few brief instructions, and then continued to head towards the city gate.
This Wushe Army was famous as Wushe, a native of Xuyi. He had another hidden identity in Zhonglimei's army, that is, the supervisors sent by the Xiang family. To put it bluntly, Wushe was a dog that the elders of the Xiang family were wary of Zhonglimei. Once they discovered that Zhonglimei had any abnormal behavior, Wushe would return the news to his master like a cat that smelled a fishy cat.
Of course, Xiang Yu, the overlord, may not know all these dark actions. As the commander of the Xiang family with a glorious glory, Xiang Yu was only twenty-eight years old after all. He was too young and did not have enough knowledge of old, traitors like Xiang Sheng in the clan.
"General Zhongli, I heard that Han Xin, the general among Qin Dogs, has a good relationship with you. Don't leave the city forever. The general's family in Pengcheng still needs you to take care of him?" Seeing that Zhonglimei insisted on leaving the city, Wu She caught up with him a few steps and said with a smile.
"Hmph, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. If I, Zhongli Mei, died in the battlefield, the overlord will definitely not treat my family badly, and there is no need to worry about the military supervisor." Zhongli Mei sneered and flew onto a horse.
"Zhonglimei, you will regret it!"
Wu She was blushed by Zhonglimei's unceremonious scolding. He stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to burst out these words from his teeth.
The city gate is opened -!
Under the leadership of Zhonglimei, the Chu army of Yibiao left the city and soon set up a circular battle formation with stable defense. This kind of regular and regular tactic is good at Zhonglimei.
"Zifang, look at it. Zhonglimei is indeed one of the best generals in the Chu army. In terms of this formation alone, it is extremely square and radiant. It is not easy to find its flaws! In addition, the Chu army under his command is defeated but not in chaos, and he can still calm down when he is in trouble, which shows that he is well-trained."
After receiving Han Xin's strong recommendation, Fu Ge, who had been willing to surrender Zhonglimei, showed joy in the morning and exclaimed at Zhang Liang incessantly.
"Haha, Liang wants to congratulate Shuai Fu for taking over another good general!" Zhang Liang smiled knowingly and said.
"Well, it's not easy to surrender Zhonglimei. Is there any trick?"
"Ship Fu, don't be anxious. Since Zhonglimei has left the city, it's easy to do. Next, we will have a fake show, so that Zhonglimei can't come back?" Zhang Liang's fair face flashed with wisdom. At this moment, Fu Ge once again realized how happy it was when he had Zhang Liang, such an important helper, beside him.
"It's a real fake show. This is a difficult performance. If it's broken, it will be broken!" Amid the laughter, Fu Ge grabbed his horse's belly and came to the front of the two armies under the protection of the left and right generals.
What? It’s so embarrassing to protect the generals and schools.
However, if you ride alone, a hero is enough. However, once you become a living target in front of everyone, a rookie who is not staring at you may have his life.
Fu Ge would not do such a foolish thing that he would lose face and lose money.
"General Zhongli, can you approach and talk?" As soon as he arrived in front of the formation, Fu Ge immediately looked intimate and said with a smile, but this smile could not be touched at all in Zhongli's eyes. On the contrary, it was filled with infinite evil spirit.
"Hmph, why don't you dare?" Due to the powerful deterrence of Qin's stone catapult, Zhong Limei had to bite the bullet and go forward to answer. His life and death alone was nothing. The battle between the two armies was normal. However, as a general of the army, Zhong Limei couldn't bear it anyway.
Which one has no high court, and who has no wife and children?
Zhonglimei dared not think about what a sad and cold rainy scene would be like in their home when the news of the death of the 20,000 Chu soldiers' men was returned.
what to do?
Could it be that the brothers who believed in him would go to hell with him? No, Zhonglimei could not do this. No matter what method he used, he would try every means to find a way out for these remaining Chu soldiers.
Even if you are captured, it is better than losing your life.
What's more, Zhonglimei also heard that the Qin army did not respond to the prisoners, and at most it was just a job of sending them to the mine to do mining.
"General Zhongli, are you worried about these soldiers under your command?" As soon as you approached, Fu Ge, who saw from Zhonglimei's face of worrying about gains and losses, took the opportunity to bring the topic to the direction that Zhonglimei was most interested in.
"Fu Xiang, I have a question now: If I, Zhonglimei, die, can you agree to treat these Chu soldiers who have put down their weapons well?" Zhonglimei's tragic feeling was beyond words.
"No, if the general dies, what's the use of me to want these Chu soldiers?" Fu Ge replied firmly.
"I understand, you want to avenge the revenge of Jiyuan killing Qin soldiers. That matter is my Zhonglimei, but it has nothing to do with these Chu soldiers. If you want to take revenge, you can come to me, Zhonglimei." Zhonglimei laughed angrily and shouted.
"Haha, General Zhongli was wrong. If I, Fu Ge, want to take the general's life, how could I still spend so much quarrel with you? The general's talent has always been impressed by me. Now the soldiers are in a desperate situation and cannot break through. If the general wants to save the lives of the soldiers, put down his weapons and surrender to our army!" Fu Ge smiled slightly and whispered to Zhonglimei.
