After hearing Zhang Rou's words, everyone quickly denied it, saying they had no intention of surrendering.

Zhang Rou glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Don't look at Zhao Tai's rampage now. It's all because the Great Khan is attacking Kaifeng. Once the Mongols finish cleaning up the Jin Kingdom, anyone who follows Zhao Tai will die. Li Fen is also confused.

Now it seems that it is quite popular, but in fact it is a narrow road and has reached a dead end!"

After hearing this, the generals all said that it made sense, but some people did not know how to praise him. Qian Yifeng, Zhang Rou's staff, said: "The commander-in-chief is right. When the Khan finishes cleaning up Kaifeng, Zhao Tai will definitely be the next target.

However, although Zhao Tai is no match for the Mongols, he is more than enough to defeat us. The general thinks that I can hold on to the city and hold on, so there is no need to anger Zhao Tai. After all, there will be a long time to come. If we meet again, we will

We will not become Zhao Tai’s primary target!”

Zhang Rou frowned and was speechless for a moment.

It must be said that his advisers were quite justified in their concerns.

Zhao Tai is indeed no match for Mongolia. Once the Mongolian army finishes dealing with Kaifeng, they will have to deal with Zhao Tai.

But Zhao Tai couldn't deal with the Mongols, but it was easy to deal with him.

No, in just one year, he has been punished three times.

If Zhao Tai is angered, Zhao Tai will kill him first before the Mongols can defeat him.

This made Zhang Rou feel a little panicked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Qian Yifeng was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Zhang Rou asked, "Speak directly if you have something to say?"

Qian Yifeng weighed it in his mind for a moment, then approached Zhang Rou and whispered in his ear: "Commander, I think it's better to send something outside the city to ask Zhao Tai to withdraw his troops!"

Zhang Rou raised her eyebrows and cursed: "You let me be your enemy!"

Qian Yifeng quickly explained, "Commander, this is just an expedient measure, a delaying tactic, and cannot be considered as endowment to the enemy!"

Zhang Rou waved her hand, "This Zhao Tai will not live long. Once the Great Khan captures Kaifeng, his death will be near. The Great Khan has been besieging Kaifeng since the end of autumn last year. It has been nearly four months now. I expect that the city will be broken soon."

.This means that Zhao Tai will not be rampant for long. I am now bribing Zhao Tai. If the Great Khan breaks through Kaifeng and pursues the case, the gain will outweigh the losses!"

At this point, Zhang Rou's expression became firm, "Huh, pass on the order, all the ministries are ready to prepare, and once Zhao Tai attacks the city, they will attack him immediately."

While Zhang Rou was talking to his subordinates, the cavalry from Zhongyi Town rushed back to the central army and reported Zhang Rou's words to Zhao Tai.

After hearing this, Wang Bin thought for a moment and smiled: "Commander, Zhang Rou's will is not strong and she doesn't want to fight with the commander!"

Zhao Tai also heard Zhang Rou's cowardice from Zhang Rou's words. What he said was that attacking Wei County would cost casualties. On the surface, it was a threat, but in reality it was cowardice.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "In this case, does the military think I still have a chance?"

Wang Bin stroked his goatee and said, "There should be no problem!"

Zhao Taidao: "The military advisor will tell you in detail!"

Wang Bin sorted out his thoughts, "Zhang Rou gave up the famous city and retreated to Wei County. In addition to showing that he did not want to fight with the commander, it also showed that he wanted to preserve his strength!"

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "Continue!"

Wang Bin said: "As long as he wants to preserve his strength, the commander-in-chief will have the opportunity to force Zhang Rou to reach an agreement with the commander-in-chief like Li Fen did."

Zhao Tai understood what Wang Bin meant, "What the military advisor means is that I have to show off that if Zhang Rou doesn't give in, I will destroy him, and that will achieve his goal."

Wang Bin nodded, "It can be understood that way. Zhang Rou must be made to feel that if she doesn't give in, she will be destroyed by us!"

Zhao Tai rode on horseback, looked at Wei County for a moment, and suddenly waved his whip: "Okay, in that case, let's make some preparations, and then attack the city in a big way to create the momentum of our Zhongyi Town."

Now that Mongolia is powerful, it is unrealistic to ask Zhang Rou and others to surrender. Zhao Tai's goal is to force Zhang Rou and others to surrender secretly without asking them to rebel against Mongolia.

Under such conditions, Zhao Tai believes that Zhang Rou and others will agree as long as they show their strength.

At this time, Zhao Tai gave the order and arrived at Zhongyi Town in Wei County. He began to camp in the wilderness, and then actively prepared siege equipment.

It was night, and the Tiangong Battalion arrived at dusk and worked nervously for most of the night, assembling more than twenty artillery carriages.

The soldiers in the supply camp transported boxes of thunderbolts to the artillery cart, and after the artillery cart was assembled, they could bombard Wei County tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhang Rou and others came to the top of the city and were shocked to see countless siege equipment rising from the ground overnight in Zhao Tai's barracks.

He looked at the artillery carts rising from the ground outside Wei County. He felt a little panicked and felt tremendous pressure. He hurriedly asked the defenders on the city to strengthen their defenses.

For a time, at the head of Wei County City, the Mongolian army's crossbows were strung up, and there was a constant flow of soldiers carrying stones, wood and other equipment to defend the city.

At this time, both the offensive and defensive sides were preparing intensively.

Zhang Rou looked at the artillery trucks lined up at the top of the city with a heavy expression. His staff Qian Yifeng worriedly said: "Commander, Zhao Tai won't use thunder to blow us up!"

Zhang Rou had a dark face, Zhao Tai was the first to tinker with this thunder thing.

During the offensive and defensive battle of Kaifeng, Zhao Tai provided the thunderbolt that caused huge losses to the Mongolian army. How could he not use it now that he was attacking the city himself?

Outside the city, the well-fed and loyal soldiers were arrayed in the wilderness.

Zhao Tai rode on horseback and stood majestically under the banner of the Great Banner.

"Report! Commander, the artillery carriages are all ready and ready to fire!" The sound of reports echoed among the army in Zhongyi Town.

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, he did not intend to attack Wei County by force.

Because after defeating the enemy, Zhao Tai did not have the troops to defend the city, and the siege battle would consume a lot of money. Zhao Tai did not want to lose troops and horses.

Although Zhang Rou's strength is not as good as before, he still holds on to the city. If he really wants to attack, Zhao Tai will still pay casualties.

Therefore, Zhao Tai's goal was mainly to intimidate Zhang Rou, and to have an intimidating effect, nothing could surpass the thunderous bombardment.

Zhao Tai heard that the artillery group was ready, and without saying a word, he pointed his riding whip forward and said, "Give me the order, let the artillery group fire, and give me a hard bombardment!"

As soon as the military order was given, the war drums beat and the flags waved, the officer standing in front of the artillery cart immediately roared, "Load the artillery!"

The soldiers responsible for loading put the thunder cannons one by one into the holsters of the artillery carts, while the soldiers holding torches waited for the order to light them.

"Fire up, fire!" the commander of the artillery group roared again, waving his flag down and issuing the order.

The soldiers immediately lit the fuse, swung the cannon pole, and more than a dozen sky-shaking thunderbolts drew an arc and hit the county seat of Wei County.

When Zhang Rou saw the rising black dots at the top of the city, her thoughts turned out to be true, and she immediately roared, "Be careful, it's a thunder that shakes the sky!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom, boom, boom" sound from the top of the city, setting off waves of storms, and the soldiers on the top of the city were blown away in an instant, screaming and falling off the top of the city.
