Chapter 95 Submission
(Continue to update on the weekend)
At this moment, sweat beads as big as soybeans on Ding Shuang's forehead dripped down. He could no longer be complacent and no longer hoped to fool him. He also felt extremely regretful. He thought that since he had seen the doubts before, he should take his family away decisively, instead of touching him to see him clearly.
The vanguard of the Wuwei Army was still continuing to attack the defensive formation of Yanchuan City. The earth was trembling and the city walls were relatively strong, but the houses in the city began to collapse. In a panic, the fire burned the mattress. Soon four or five flames rushed up in the city, and soon became out of control and chaos.
Countless soldiers and civilians inside and outside Chishan City were in panic, and no one would notice how distress Ding Shuang felt in her heart in the South City Tower.
Ding Shuang guessed that Chen Hai might be cheating him, how could the Wuwei Army have tens of thousands of elite troops sneaking to the south of Chishan County quietly? But Chen Hai and others stood in front of him with real value, forcing him to believe it.
Besides, what's the difference between whether he believes it or not?
Not to mention that Chu Siming, the most powerful man in Chishan County, could not even go back two times in Chen Hai's hands. Even Wu Meng and Zhou Jun, two martial artists in the Spirit-Breaking Realm, could easily kill him with one person.
Moreover, if he dared to make any moves easily, he believed that the fierce and greedy soldiers behind Chen Hai would never let his little family go easily.
"I have also inquired for Lord Ding. Lord Ding's family is in Chishan County. It is natural for him to try his best to protect his family without worrying about anything else," Chen Hai said slowly, "If Lord Ding can help me seize Chishan County and wait for the main force of the Wuwei Army to take over, Lord Ding will not only be our enemy, but will also make great contributions. His wife, children, and young people will not have to worry about wealth or lack of wealth from now on..."
"..." Ding Shuang remained silent.
"...Wuwei Army and Hexiang Army are both citizens of Dayan. Although the two armies have gaps at this moment, they will inevitably fight and kill, but after a while, they will inevitably be as close as brothers. Lord Ding doesn't need to worry about being charged with treason..." Chen Hai could see the struggle in Ding Shuang's eyes and persuaded him without rushing.
Ding Shuang sighed bitterly. No matter how beautiful it is in front of her, she comforts people's hearts. If you betray, you will betray. What's the point of just being able to justify?
Snowflakes fell in the night sky again, falling on the wall in front of the city tower. A sudden tremor was still coming. Ding Shuang was sweating profusely on this cold night, as if an invisible Wanjun Mountain was pressing on his shoulders and pressing on his heart. He finally shouted hoarsely: "I didn't go back in person, my wife and children wouldn't come to visit!"
"Then I will let Master Wu and Master Zhou accompany Lord Ding to take his sister-in-law and the young master over." Chen Hai waved his hand. Now people inside and outside the city are panic and there are signs of chaos. Wu Meng and Zhou Jun watched Ding Shuang go to pick up people. There should be no flaws exposed, but he wants to guard the South City Tower.
At this time, people's hearts were most panicked. When the Yanchuan Prefecture City fell, I don't know how many people would want to open the city gate and flee south. He needed to stay and stay in order to block everyone, otherwise these gang soldiers would not worry.
***************************
Ding Shuang's residence is very close to the south city tower. Two houses collapsed and blocked the alleyway. But after a stick of incense, Wu Meng and Zhou Jun rushed into the city gate through the wall.
Chen Hai stood in front of the wall, in the dim night, watching seven or eight people being sent to the Tibetan soldiers' cave under the city wall by Wu Meng, Zhou Jun and others to take care of them. After a while, Wu Meng and Zhou Jun accompanied Ding Shuang from the city road. With the dim lights, Chen Hai saw the young woman following Ding Shuang's beautiful face and holding a child in her arms...
The child was sleeping sweetly, and he was completely unaware of the turmoil that was set off tonight, which would swallow her young body and soul without even leaving any residue.
Chen Hai sighed softly, walked back to the city tower and waited for Ding Shuang and the others to come in.
Ding Shuang couldn't guess what Chen Hai was thinking, and said with a ugly face: "My wife and children have come here to visit. What else does Captain Chen have to give?"
"Ding Zhao greets the general." Ding Shuang's wife held the baby and curled her body to salute. She obviously understood her current situation.
Although Chen Hai saw that there was fear and worry in her bright eyes, he could barely calm down at this time. He performed well. At this time, he stood up from the big wooden box, uncovered the lid, and pulled out Chu Siming, who was tied up by five flowers and threw it in front of Ding Shuang:
"I originally planned to exchange Chu Siming for a batch of ransoms after the war, but now I can only give this military merit to Lord Ding to kill the enemy."
Chu Siming had already woken up and listened to the two conversations between Chen Hai and Ding Shuang and the others. He was angry and frightened, and glared at him. He didn't believe that Ding Shuang would dare to kill him as a confession.
Ding's wife's face was pale. At this time, the child in her arms suddenly woke up, staring at her black eyes, looking at everything in front of her. There was no fear in her innocent eyes, but she was curious to reach out to grab the beard under Chen Hai's chin.
Chen Hai raised his hand and covered Ding Shuang's child's eyes with his sleeve, preventing him from seeing the next bloody scene, but he could not stare at Ding Shuang with a trace of doubt.
Wu Meng handed the spiritual sword to Ding Shuang.
Ding Shuang's face was pale, but she didn't hesitate for long. She took the spiritual sword and slowly stabbed Chu Siming's chest.
Chu Siming could only yell when he was dying, his chest was undulating like a bellows, and he struggled to die like an old dog with his limbs tied up, and blood flowed all over the floor. When Qi Hanjiang and Kou Nu saw this scene, they also smacked their lips, and admired Ding Shuang as a cruel character.
Chen Hai threw Chu Siming's body back into the wooden box before putting down the sleeves that blocked the child's eyes. He thought to himself that he would stay on earth without any accidents. Even if he was unforgettable to Su Qian's old love, he should get married and have children.
At this moment, Chen Hai's eyes showed a rare touch of tenderness.
When Ding Shuang saw this scene, she finally believed that Chen Hai was not a vicious person. She returned the spiritual sword to Wu Meng, but her face was not good-looking. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Person Chen, you should be able to tell Ding Shuang the truth at this time. The Wuwei army is south of Chishan, and there should not be many soldiers lurking!"
"Mr. Ding is indeed a smart person. He knows that if the Wuwei Army is ready to detour and encircle the defeated troops, there is no need for us to risk controlling Chishan City," Chen Hai laughed. Although Ding Shuang's cultivation is not high, he still has this vision and insight in this situation. He really doesn't know how much better than the children of the Taiwei Sect's clans. He smiled, "But if it weren't for this, we wouldn't be able to talk about any amazing achievements. Mr. Ding, what do you think."
Ding Shuang didn't expect that he could guess it, and his face looked even more ugly.
He was forced to jump onto the pirate ship due to the situation, so he could not tolerate any room for retreat. Even if he abandoned his wife and children to expose the conspiracy of this group, it would be a great achievement to retreat to Hechuanling. However, the children of the Chu family regarded him as having a grudge for killing his father, and could not tolerate him.
Ding Shuang also secretly looked at Chen Hai, thinking that this person seemed arrogant, but he had very few flaws in his plan, and it might not be impossible to succeed. Thinking of this, he said, "Captain Chen only has dozens of subordinates. Once thousands of defeated soldiers rushed to Chishan City, even if the identity of Chen Zhengwei has not been exposed, it is impossible to suppress the riots of thousands of defeated soldiers! If the defeated soldiers cannot be trapped in Chishan City, it is no wonder that it is a superb achievement, right?"
"Whether he can succeed is to cooperate." Chen Hai secretly felt that Ding Shuang was definitely qualified to be a strategist, but he was respected by the strong in the world. Ding Shuang's cultivation was insufficient. No matter how wise he was, he would not be able to receive enough attention.
Ding Shuang calmed down a little from the panic of killing. Although the number of Kou Nu left and right was small, they were all elites selected by one hundred miles. Then, calmly recalling Chen Hai and the others' actions after entering the city, he gradually came up with a clue. Seeing that Chen Hai was always looking at him calmly, he also guessed that Chen Hai wanted to test his wisdom and said, "If Chen Zhengwei trusts Ding Shuang, I can choose some staff to help Chen Zhengwei strengthen his control over Min Yong. They are all good players in the local area. If they can seek wealth under the Dong family, they will not care. And at this time, I can bring their wives and children to the South City Tower in the name of escorting out of the city in advance! Min Yong's combat power is unsuccessful, but there will be no mutiny in the most chaotic time, which may help Chen Zhengwei succeed."
Ding Shuang just took action to kill Chu Siming, it can be said that she was coerced by them, but Wu Meng and Zhou Jun confirmed that Ding Shuang was a ruthless character and could suggest that he trick his wife and children Xiaodu to the Nanchenglou as a hostage. However, he forced his subordinates to surrender to the Wuwei Army and help control Min Yong. This is not something that ordinary people can think of and do...
Although Chen Hai and the others had sixty or seventy people, they were not familiar with the place in Chishan County and had extremely weak control over the two thousand people. Don’t wait until their true identities were exposed. Once a large group of defeated soldiers came, the two thousand people would mutiny and scatter and disperse once they fled and would no longer be under their control.
If Ding Shuang comes forward and threatens to force twenty or thirty low-level military officers with prestige in the local area to control these civil warriors, as long as these civil warriors do not mutiny or flee in the most chaotic time, it is Ding Shuang's greatest value.
Before nightfall, Chen Hai asked Zhao Shan and the others to find out the family situation of Chishan County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Chief Clerk and others, considering that this dangerous move should be taken at the critical moment.
"Okay, I am the nephew of Chen Lie, the Marquis of Ting, Zhaoyang, and the legitimate son of Marquis of Ting. Although no one in the northwest region knows me, Chen Hai, I believe that one day you will listen to my reputation when you travel around any corner of this continent!" Chen Hai smiled, and asked Qi Hanjiang to send Ding Shuang's wife and children to the Tibetan soldiers cave below to rest for a while, waiting to trick the other people's families, and Ding's wife also needs to help comfort him.
Seeing Qi Hanjiang and others thieves spinning their eyes on Ding’s wife, their thief was hard to change, and they did not hide their greed and contempt in their eyes, Chen Hai grabbed a cast iron crossbow arrow beside him and smashed it at them, angrily shouting: "Ding Shuang is using his life under my hands, and Ding Zhao is your brother and sister-in-law. Are you looking at your brother and sister-in-law at home?"
Qi Hanjiang and others were hit by a cast iron crossbow that weighed 20 to 30 kilograms and inhaled. Only then did they become honest and sent Ding's wife and young son to the Tibetan soldiers' cave below in a regular manner...
Chen Hai then called Zhao Shan and Shen Kun back. They dealt with officials and Min Yong in Chishan County all day long. Now they still ask them to help Ding Shuang trick the local military officers, wife, children, and young men from Chishan County to the South City Tower to be hostages.
Ding Shuang came forward and said that he could arrange to leave the city in advance. When the soldiers were in chaos, the local military officials, and even the low-level civil servants, did not dare to abandon the city and flee, but they all wanted to kneel in front of Ding Shuang and beg to send their wives, children and young people to the south city tower first.
Half an hour passed, Ding Shuang had already tricked Xiaodu, a local military officer in Chishan County, to the South City Tower, and he was also full of shame.
Chen Hai was very satisfied with Ding Shuang. When the defeated soldiers came, he would directly threaten these military officers, wives and children, who were detained in the city gate, and force them to restrain the people from defending the South City Tower without worrying about their identity being exposed.
After all, it is not new to the Dayan Empire that the family members were taken as hostages and forced soldiers to use their lives.
Next, Chen Hai asked Ding Shuang to transfer these low-level military officers to the city wall.
These low-level military officers were paired with four or five direct infantrymen, which restricted the civil warriors of more than ten times the number. Although they would not have any combat power, they could at least stabilize their position and not mutiny at any time.
