Chapter 211 Why didn't he dare to come by himself?
When Xu Gongmao heard this, his expression changed immediately.
The meaning of Li Fengxian's words was too obvious.
An angry look appeared on Xu Gongmao's face, but he did not get angry with Li Fengxian.
Li Fengxian looked at Xu Gongmao indifferently. Xu Gongmao had previously persuaded him that Chen Changfeng's water scheme would not cause any harm to them.
Now that the army has lost 70%, I have done him a favor by not executing Xu Gongmao immediately.
If you dare to force Lai Lai with you again, you will be the first to kill him.
"Yes, Lord Divine General." Xu Gongmao agreed reluctantly.
After receiving the blood letter handed over by Li Fengxian, Xu Gongmao took a boat, accompanied by several soldiers, and sailed towards Yongding City.
Li Fengxian did not see the flash of teasing on Xu Gongmao's face while sitting on the boat.
…
The third prince felt that his head was a bit big.
He originally thought that Chen Changfeng's so-called plan was just to flood Li Fengxian's Yong'an City with water from the Han River.
He cooperated with Li Fengxian in advance and asked Li Fengxian to take people away. In this way, Chen Changfeng only flooded an empty city.
Of course, the people there will definitely suffer disaster.
What I didn't expect was that Chen Changfeng's real purpose was not a water trick, but a fire attack.
The Cangmang Mountains were burned to the ground, and the third prince didn't even have to think about it. He knew that Chu's southern army would suffer heavy casualties.
He and Li Fengxian were completely fooled by Chen Changfeng. They thought they had a chance to win, but unexpectedly they had already fallen into Chen Changfeng's scheme.
Looking at the surging river in the distance and the vast mountains filled with thick smoke, the third prince clasped his fingers tightly in the gaps between the city bricks.
"Your Highness, Chen Changfeng has led people out of the city." Liu Shenyan looked panicked.
If Chen Changfeng caught Li Fengxian, or obtained the blood letter he had given to Li Fengxian from Li Fengxian, the third prince would definitely die.
The third prince's heart felt cold.
The blood letter was originally a guarantee given by himself to Li Fengxian, so that Li Fengxian could act according to the plan.
But who knew that he was actually being set up by Chen Changfeng.
If the blood book fell into Chen Changfeng's hands, he would definitely not let him go.
Even if he were killed by then, the emperor would not be able to do anything against Chen Changfeng.
"Shen Yan, what should we do now?" The third prince looked anxious.
It's really a matter of life and death now.
If they are not careful, they will die.
Liu Shenyan looked at the river in the distance and was silent for a moment before saying: "We can either help Li Fengxian escape now, or kill Li Fengxian before Chen Changfeng."
"Li Fengxian is now trapped in Cangmang Mountain. How can we help him escape?" The third prince wanted to kill Li Fengxian, but he felt that he might not be Li Fengxian's opponent.
If Li Fengxian is offended by that time and that guy smashes the jar and hands the blood letter directly to Chen Changfeng, he will be completely ruined.
"There are hundreds of small boats under the city tower, which Chen Changfeng had people build before. We can give these boats to Li Fengxian while it is dark."
"Although there are not many boats, there are enough for some of them to escape," Liu Shenyan said in a low voice.
It's not like they don't have any cronies in the Ming army.
There are still people who transport hundreds of ships.
The third prince nodded slightly and looked into the distance. Now he could only take this risk.
Otherwise, if Li Feng handed his blood letter to Chen Changfeng first, he would really be dead.
…
Li Fengxian did not wait for Xu Gongmao to come, nor did he see the third prince's people coming.
What was waiting was Chen Changfeng and a group of Ming border troops.
On the boat, Chen Changfeng looked at Li Fengxian who was standing by the water in a daze from a distance: "Li Fengxian, you still won't surrender?"
Hearing Chen Changfeng's voice, Li Fengxian looked at him instantly, with anger on his face: "Chen Changfeng, don't be complacent, I will definitely kill you!"
How could Li Fengxian not be angry?
Why did the planned water attack on Yong'an City suddenly turn into a fire plan?
It's pity that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who conquered the South did not die on the battlefield, but died in this fire and water.
"Kill me?" Chen Changfeng sneered: "With the defeated generals like you, it's good to be able to hold on for two days. Believe it or not, many people will secretly escape from Cangmang Mountain tonight."
"Li Fengxian, you have already lost, so what's the point of struggling? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the soldiers of the Southern Army."
"Is it worth it for someone who is not a mother and father to die here for no reason?"
"Commanders of the Southern Chu Army, I am Chen Changfeng, Prince of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you choose to surrender, I can promise to spare your lives."
No one answered.
Chen Changfeng was not upset either. To the soldiers of Da Chu's southern army, it was just a defeat.
It's too early to surrender.
But as long as they are hungry for a few days, they will naturally think of what they said today.
Li Fengxian looked at Chen Changfeng with bitter eyes.
He, Li Fengxian, was so powerful and famous that he was so humiliated by a mere Chen Changfeng.
In front of himself, he recruited his soldiers to surrender.
Li Fengxian also knew that although no one responded at the moment, what about tomorrow and the day after?
Once there is no food, people's hearts will naturally disperse.
Maybe someone will tie themselves up and give them to Chen Changfeng!
Li Fengxian felt uneasy, but at this moment he could only stare at Chen Changfeng.
After Chen Changfeng said this, he asked people to turn the boat around and leave.
Not even a surveillance boat was left on the river.
The soldiers of Da Chu's Southern Army on Cangmang Mountain looked at the vast river with confusion on their faces.
Li Fengxian waited for a day, but did not see Xu Gongmao come back. He began to wonder if Xu Gongmao had run away, and he should not have let Xu Gongmao take away the blood letter before.
As night fell slowly, Li Fengxian sat on the shore and listened to his generals talking about the disappearance of hundreds of soldiers.
Li Fengxian didn't even frown. One day had passed and the river had not receded at all.
Hundreds of soldiers fled today, and even more will flee tomorrow.
Li Fengxian was not even willing to order those who escaped without authorization to be killed, because it was of no use at all.
Instead, the soldiers would vent their anger on him, Li Fengxian.
"Lord General, there seems to be a boat ahead." Zhang Heng pointed to the river ahead and suddenly shouted with Li Fengxian.
Li Fengxian looked up and saw hundreds of boats on the river ahead.
"Be on guard." Li Fengxian ordered, and Zhang Heng immediately led the soldiers to be on guard.
"Master Divine General, it's me, Liu Shenyan!" Liu Shenyan's voice came from a distance.
When Li Feng first heard that it was Liu Shenyan, he felt a little calmer. He waved his hands to Zhang Heng and let Liu Shenyan's ship come over.
When Liu Shenyan got off the boat and landed, Li Fengxian grabbed his throat and said, "How dare you come!"
Liu Shenyan was no match for Li Fengxian. His throat was pinched and he couldn't even speak, so he could only struggle desperately.
Just as he was about to roll his eyes, Li Fengxian threw Liu Shenyan to the ground like a torn sack.
Liu Shenyan coughed for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses.
Li Fengxian held the sword and stood in front of Liu Shenyan expressionlessly.
Liu Shenyan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "The God General calms down his anger. I have sent a ship for the God General on the orders of His Highness the Third Highness."
"There are ninety-seven ships on the river. Each ship can carry a hundred people. Lord God, please evacuate quickly."
"Why doesn't Chen Wu dare to come? If he comes, I will definitely chop off his head!" Li Fengxian was furious.
There are ninety-seven ships, each carrying a hundred people, which is less than 10,000 people.
The 50,000-strong Chu army on Cangmang Mountain conquered the Southern Army. What will happen to the remaining people?
