Chapter 63 Surrender
A few days later.
Ning Teng stood on the tower, thinking about his next plan.
According to the information from the scouts, the Qin army was stationed to the west of Jincheng, not very far away, but they did not come to attack immediately.
When the more than 50,000 guards in Jincheng learned that the Qin army was about to attack the city, they were immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of fear.
"Chief, someone is coming from Xinzheng."
At the same time, a deputy general hurriedly walked up to the tower: "Your Majesty has sent 50,000 people to support us in Nanyang."
Ning Teng said calmly: "There are only 50,000 people, what's the use?"
Under the sword of the tiger and wolf troops of the Great Qin Dynasty, even fifty thousand people would not be able to defend Nanyang.
"Sheriff, what should I do?"
the lieutenant asked anxiously.
Ning Teng did not respond to his words. Just as he was about to walk down the city tower, he heard a nearby soldier saying urgently: "Guardian, there are two horses approaching our city gate from the west. They seem to be from the Qin army."
When they heard someone coming from the west, everyone became nervous.
The soldiers on the tower immediately prepared their crossbows. Looking down, they found that there were really only two knights coming on horseback. However, when they were still a long way away from the tower, the two knights stopped.
They are Bai Zhong and Zhang Han.
Bai Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly. The tower in the distance was pulled closer under the influence of the Immortality Secret, and the people standing on it could be clearly seen.
Of course, Ning Teng can also be seen.
Nanyang pretended to defend Ning Teng, sacrificed Nanyang to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, and then became the main force in destroying Han. Bai Zhong still remembered this historical event, but at this time, he could not guarantee whether Ning Teng would surrender.
It is said that the reason why Ning Teng surrendered was because he was instigated by Yao Jia a long time ago.
Knowing that Ning Teng was in Jincheng, Bai Zhong wanted to try his luck and see if he could induce Ning Teng to surrender, and maybe he would get some credit.
"General, what are we doing here?"
Zhang Han asked without understanding.
Bai Zhong took out the bow on his back and pulled out a sharp arrow with a piece of wood tied to the arrow. He said slowly: "You will know later."
After saying that, he drew the bow string.
However, above Jincheng, the lieutenants saw that there were only two people coming from Bai Zhong, so far away from the tower, so they drew their bows and tried to shoot arrows up, and they couldn't help laughing.
But after a while, they stopped laughing.
Bai Zhong loosened his bow string and heard a rapid sound.
The distance between the two sides was very long, but the range of the bow and arrow was farther, and the arrow tip hit hard on the bricks and stones at the edge of the city wall.
Snapped!
Ning Teng saw gravel flying, and the piece of wood tied to the rope was bounced towards him. He reached out and grabbed it immediately. When he spread it out, he saw two words written on it in a crooked way.
surrender!
The following two people are here to make you surrender.
Ning Teng thought for a while, nodded towards Bai Zhong, and then put away the wood pieces.
The mocking lieutenants widened their eyes and thought they were hallucinating.
Even their Korean crossbows don't have such an effective range.
How did the Qin general below do it?
Ning Teng ignored their shock and shouted after coming to his senses: "Where are the 50,000 people who came to support us?"
He did not go out to contact the Qin army immediately. He just wanted to wait for the support of the King of Han to come to Nanyang, and surrender to the Qin army with the remaining 50,000 people in Nanyang and the support of the King of Han.
He believed that with these 100,000 people as a base, he could only be taken seriously after surrendering.
After waiting for several days, it finally arrived.
As for the two Qin generals at the bottom of the city, even if there were only two of them, Jincheng's soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to pursue them, because they were worried that if they left the city, there would be some ambush by the Qin army, which was a ploy to lure the enemy.
All in all, it's just fear.
Bai Zhong put away his bow, turned around and said, "Let's go back!"
Zhang Han also woke up from his shock. General Bai was very powerful and no one in the army knew it.
But it's also incredibly powerful.
Even from such a long distance, one arrow could be shot up, accurately penetrating the masonry on the edge of the city wall.
"General, why are we doing this?"
Zhang Han asked without understanding.
Bai Zhong smiled and said: "Let Ning Teng surrender."
Can an enemy general surrender by shooting an arrow?
Zhang Han still can't figure it out.
Just now, Bai Zhong saw Ning Teng nodding.
Ning Teng did this as if to express something to him.
Bai Zhong simply guessed for a while and understood that it was not difficult to capture Jincheng, so he immediately rushed back to the Qin army's camp.
"General Bai is back from outside?"
Wang Ben happened to come to him, smiled and asked.
Bai Zhong explained: "I went to look at the terrain near Jincheng and wanted to see how we could capture Nanyang."
Wang Ben asked: "General Bai, how do you think Nanyang can be captured?"
Baizhong said: "When our army approaches the city, Jincheng will open its gates and destroy itself without attacking!"
"Did General Bai also receive the king's secret order?"
Wang Ben asked in surprise.
"What secret order?"
Before the expedition, Baizhong had not received any instructions from Ying Zheng.
Wang Ben whispered: "Nanyang pretended to guard Ning Teng, and it was already instigated by Yao Jia, the senior minister, in the early years. Not many people know about this matter. Before departure, the king asked his father to pass the secret order to me. It is about this matter.
."
It turns out that Ying Zheng had such an arrangement.
Bai Zhong was thinking, if I had known better, I wouldn't have tested Ning Teng, and my trip would have been in vain.
Wang Ben said again: "You don't know?"
"I have absolutely no idea."
"Since you don't know, why would General Bai say that Jincheng will be destroyed if it is not attacked?"
Wang Ben asked curiously.
Bai Zhong thought of a reason and explained again: "Just now, Zhang Han and I arrived at Jincheng City. The guards on the city didn't even dare to come out to chase us. I saw that the Korean army's flags were messy and disorderly.
, I conclude that Nanyang’s fake defenders no longer have the intention to defend themselves. Either we will easily break through the city, or we will open the city gate and come out to surrender.”
Wang Ben once again admired: "General Bai's analysis is right. I have the entire army stationed here. I have not attacked the city for the time being. I just want to wait for news from Ning Teng. If he has not arranged for someone to come to meet him today, I plan to attack the city tomorrow.
."
Bai Zhong suddenly realized.
"The king said that this matter needs to be kept secret, and I even hid it from General Bai."
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Even if you hide it, let General Bai analyze it."
That night.
In the military camp, except for the soldiers who were on duty, everyone had gone down to rest.
"who is it!"
After the third watch, the soldiers on duty spotted a sneaky figure walking outside. Dozens of people picked up their bows and crossbows and quickly went out to take a look.
"I am the confidant of Ning Teng, the fake governor of Nanyang, and I would like to see General Wang Ben."
"Please don't do anything, I have important military information to report."
The man quickly raised his hands and said.
Although someone in Jincheng had already offered to surrender, Ning Teng still acted very carefully. After all, the leader of the 50,000 people who came from Xinzheng to support them was a member of the Korean clan.
If the surrender was discovered, Ning Teng was worried about his life and did not dare to take risks. He waited until night before he dared to send someone out to contact Wang Bi.
"Catch him!"
Chapter completed!
