Chapter 94: The Bandits' Defense is Broken, Zhen Zhai'er's Response
Outside the east city of Jinyang.
Zhen Zhai'er and Tang Zhenhao led several captains and more than ten shield-carrying cavalrymen and came to the moat not far from the city, where they saw Xiang Yifeng tied to a wooden frame.
Let’s not talk about Tang Zhenhao and those captains and cavalrymen at this moment.
The moment Zhen Zhai'er saw Xiang Yifeng with her own eyes, she was shocked.
Xiang Yifeng was really captured in Dongcheng! !
This also means that the people who ambushed Xiang Yifeng at the foot of the mountain the night before were the defenders in East City!
Zhen Zhai'er felt both terrified and uneasy when she thought that the defenders in the East City could go to the foot of the mountains in the middle of the night without being discovered by the patrolling soldiers.
Zhen Zhai'er was extremely confident in his patrol deployment.
Not only was it impossible to break out of the West City of Jinyang on the other side of the Fen River, but the Turkic nomads had also tried to break out in Shanggu County in the past. Even the famous Sui general Yang Yichen sent elite troops to attack at night, but they were unable to break through their own defense deployment at night.
In Zhen Zhai'er's mind, there are only two possibilities for the current situation. Either the soldiers in charge of the patrol have been bribed by Dongcheng, or someone among the captains or commanders has handed the defense map to Dongcheng!
No matter which one it is, Zhen Zhai'er has decided to immediately replace all the people who were previously in charge of patrolling, whether they were soldiers or captains.
Zhen Zhai'er heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that he had a more rigorous method of patrolling and deploying formations.
As for the patrol method that he had kept in his heart, he had to replace all of them with his trusted men the next time he deployed them! Things like being bribed or having an insider or a traitor must never happen again.
While thinking.
Zhen Zhai'er rode on a horse and looked at the East City of Jinyang, a city that was once insignificant in her eyes. Her expression was full of complexity.
A simple Jinyang East City, without the strategic location of Jinyang West City, without the family background of the wealthy and powerful families, and even its food and storage are only one hundredth or one twentieth of those of West City.
However, such a city, which was mostly populated by ordinary people and seemed easy to capture, caused his 100,000-strong army to waste a lot of time and gain no benefit at all.
Not to mention that Zhen Zhai'er is now feeling humiliated, even if she captures the East City of Jinyang in the future, it will only be a loss of face for Zhen Zhai'er.
The first battle was a setback, and now even the generals were killed and one was captured...
For a general with an army of over 100,000 men, what could be more infuriating!
Zhen Zhai'er's face already looked a little ugly, but she still turned her head and looked at a trusted guard.
Following Zhen Zhai'er's instructions, a cavalryman nodded and rode towards the moat.
Zhen Zhai'er, Tang Zhenhao and others stayed where they were on horseback, waiting patiently.
Realizing that Zhen Zhai'er was angry, Tang Zhenhao, who usually looked down on other people, couldn't help but calm down.
Other captains and soldiers rode on the side, silently looking at the East City of Jinyang.
Not long after, Zhen Zhai'er and others saw several figures on horseback slowly coming out of the East City Gate.
"go!"
Zhen Zhai'er spoke, and then took the lead on horseback, approaching the moat.
Under the scorching sun.
On the opposite banks of the moat, Fu Zihou led Yin Tianzong, Xing Ming, and Xiong Ruixiang, and faced each other with Zhen Zhaier, Tang Zhenhao and others.
Under the sun, Xiang Yifeng, who was tied to a wooden stake, was looking at Zhen Zhai'er on the other side of the moat. He felt extremely ashamed, especially when he saw Tang Zhenhao was there. Seeing Tang Zhenhao's weird expression and eyes, Xiang Yifeng wanted to die.
At this moment, Xiang Yifeng's heart was filled with deep resentment, and he looked at the young man riding a horse beside him.
Xiang Yifeng swore that when he returned to the army, he would capture the East City of Jinyang at any cost, torture the East City Captain to death with his own sword, and then cook his body and eat his flesh.
"The Sui Dynasty is now unjust! Why are you so persistent? As long as you are willing to open the city and surrender, I promise that you will be made a general! Power, wealth, and beautiful women and horses are all within your reach!"
Zhen Zhai'er rode on horseback, looked at Fu Zihou, and advised him loudly.
This was the second time Zhen Zhai'er saw this young man, but compared to the first time, Zhen Zhai'er could only see the young man's appearance clearly now.
Such a young man was not afraid of an army of one hundred thousand, and even the people of East City were managed in an orderly manner and defended the city together!
Looking at the young man riding a horse on the other side of the river, Zhen Zhai'er couldn't help but feel a little amazed.
"Since you said that the Sui Dynasty is unjust, Fu Zihou dares to ask, what are the properties you mentioned, collected from taxes? What are the properties you choose to take? Your words 'within your reach' are nothing but robbing the people's property! Your words 'beauties' are nothing but forcibly seizing women! I would rather be a soldier of the Sui Dynasty than a general of the rebels! Fu Zihou is not worthy of being a rebel! You don't think that calling yourself a general among the rebels means you are really a general in the eyes of the people!"
Fu Zihou rode his horse and looked at Zhen Zhai'er, and with a hint of ridicule, he loudly refuted her. "You are courting death!"
"When the city is conquered, I will cut this bastard into pieces!"
After hearing what Fu Zihou said, without waiting for Zhen Zhai'er to say anything, Tang Zhenhao and other captains all broke down their defenses and looked at Fu Zihou with anger on their faces. It seemed as if they wanted to kill Fu Zihou.
For a long time, their status as captains in the army has been a source of pride for them, and they have always enjoyed the flattery and fawning of others.
Fu Zihou's words directly tore apart the difference between the imperial court and the rebels.
Not to mention that all the captains wanted to cut Fu Zihou into pieces, even Tang Zhenhao was gritting his teeth and staring at Fu Zihou intently.
The sense of superiority that the title of general brought to Tang Zhenhao in the past was now humiliated as if he were trampled to the ground by Fu Zihou.
The higher you were once praised, the more humiliated you are at this moment.
"You are all so angry, I think you know you are thieves!"
Fu Zihou smiled nonchalantly, then ignored the angry gazes and looked at Zhen Zhaier.
"Stop talking nonsense! I want to use this man to exchange for the family of Tu Ye's former cavalrymen and send them to the west city of Jinyang! If you are willing, I will exchange him for someone else someday!"
As Fu Zihou spoke, he turned to look at Xiang Yifeng, who was staring at him with resentment, and put forward his request to Zhen Zhaier.
They were all smart military commanders. Fu Zihou would not think of using Xiang Yifeng to ask the rebel army to leave, and he didn't even have the idea of using Xiang Yifeng to delay time.
Fu Zihou was well aware of the cost of an army of 100,000, so he would not give Zhen Zhai'er an excuse to refuse.
The reason why Fu Zihou deliberately humiliated Xiang Yifeng was to give Zhen Zhai'er a chance to win over Xiang Yifeng's heart.
If Zhen Zhai'er is willing to change, she can win Xiang Yifeng's heart. If she is not willing to change, then everyone is watching, including Xiang Yifeng, and Fu Zihou will gain something no matter what.
This is why Fu Zihou did not kill Xiang Yifeng.
To motivate the people and soldiers in the city, just hang him up as a warning to others. A living person is more useful than a dead one.
"If Dongcheng can hold out until that day, Zhen will naturally be willing to make the exchange!"
After Zhen Zhai'er finished speaking, she glanced at Fu Zihou, then turned around and left on her horse.
"Wash your neck clean, you brat! He will take your head one day!"
Before Tang Zhenhao left, he raised his finger and pointed at Fu Zihou and said with a grim look on his face.
"Wash your neck too!"
Fu Zihou looked at Tang Zhenhao, who looked like he wanted to kill someone, and gave him a reminder.
Watching Tang Zhenhao leave with Zhen Zhai'er, Fu Zihou couldn't help but look at Xiang Yifeng who was standing beside him, and saw Xiang Yifeng's face full of resentment.
"Want revenge? Then you better pray that East City won't be breached. Otherwise, if I were you, I'd better find a cesspool and bury myself!"
After Fu Zihou finished speaking, under Xiang Yifeng's resentful gaze, he turned around on his horse and walked back with Yin Tianzong, Xing Ming and Xiong Ruixiang.
on the plains.
Zhen Zhai'er rode on a war horse, looking at his mighty army and the towering siege equipment on the plain in the distance.
"Pass the order down, mobilize 30,000 people to dig the earth! The city canal must be filled in within five days. Tell the soldiers that they will not stop fighting for five days after the city is captured!"
Zhen Zhai'er said in a cold tone.
This time, Zhen Zhai'er no longer felt any pity for the young Sui general.
"Here!"
After receiving the order, a cavalryman rode his horse and galloped towards the large army in the distance ahead.
When Tang Zhenhao and other captains heard Zhen Zhai'er's words, they already had a premonition of how excited and thrilled the more than 100,000 soldiers in the army would be when they heard these words.
Five days! One hundred thousand troops are enough to rob all the women and take them away! Then slaughter everyone inside and outside the East City of Jinyang!
