Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

Chapter 175 The battle begins and the flag is set up to humiliate the enemy!

"Are you persuading to surrender?"

Taro Nagata heard the words and said to Kensaburo Taketo, chief of staff of the division.

"Yes, division commander."

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and said: "In addition, if you send people into the city, you can also see the general situation of the enemy's defense depth along the way.".

"When the two armies are fighting, don't kill them!"

Hearing this, Nagata Taro felt that Taketo Kensaburo's idea was not bad.

Although I know Xu Rui in Jinghai County, it is 100% impossible that he will choose to leave the city and surrender just because the imperial army's [-] troops are approaching the city.

However, it is also possible to send people into the city to see the general situation of the enemy's defense along the way for the purpose of persuading surrender.

"Then find someone who is smarter and go to the city with a letter of persuasion to persuade them to surrender."

Nagata Taro nodded, and said: "On the way into the city, look at the enemy's situation.".

"Yes, division commander."

The chief of staff of the division, Kenzaburo Taketo, nodded and said, then immediately walked aside, gave a few instructions to a ghost staff officer, and then walked back to Taro Nagata.

"Division Commander, we have already sent people to go to the city to persuade you to surrender."

Taketo Kensaburo said.

"Um!!"

Nagata Taro nodded, and then said: "The moon is very bright tonight, but it is not suitable for large-scale siege."

"The head of the division is right."

Taketo Kensaburo nodded, and said: "If we don't take down the Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain outside the city, I won't be able to exert my strength advantage.".

"Night battles are extremely beneficial to the defenders. Under the night, it is difficult for us to quickly find and destroy the firepower of the enemy defenders."

"Division commander, when the large-scale attack starts, it can only be carried out during the day."

Nagata Taro nodded and said, "Taketo-kun is right."

"However, we can't just wait until dawn tomorrow before launching the attack. The investigation and attack in advance, the harassment, and the return of those who will go to the city to persuade them to surrender can be carried out according to the situation."

Taketo Kensaburo nodded and said, "Yes, division commander."

"The firepower probing and harassment squads have all been deployed. After the people who went to the city to persuade them to surrender come back, they can launch probing attacks at any time."

Nagata Taro nodded and said: "The other artillery units, cavalry units, etc., all unfold for me.".

"At dawn tomorrow, we will attack the city again."

Taketo Kenzaburo, the commanders of the two brigades under the 36th Division, and the commander of the 41st Infantry Regiment Hanaya Takai and other devil generals Sato nodded heavily.

"Yes, division commander!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"

Nagata Taro nodded.

And three or four minutes later, the devil envoy sent by Kenzaburo Taketo to the city to persuade him to surrender, saw Xu Rui and Luo Youdu at the south gate of Jinghai County.

"Are you Xu Rui, the commander of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"

After seeing Xu Rui, the emissary of the devil who came to the city to persuade him to surrender asked very arrogantly.

"I am Xu Rui!"

Seeing the arrogance of the ghost messenger, Xu Rui laughed and said, "Why, are you here to persuade him to surrender?".

"That's right!"

The ghost messenger handed Xu Rui the letter of persuasion in his hand, and said, "Your Excellency, our imperial army is approaching the city, and there are a full [-] troops.".

"General Nagata Taro, the commander of my 36th Division, appreciates your Excellency very much. You estimate that you only have three or four thousand soldiers and horses in your hands. How can you resist the attack of the imperial army's [-] troops?"

After a pause, the ghost messenger continued: "As long as your Excellency leaves the city and surrenders, you can forget the past for what your ministry did to the imperial army before."

"Moreover, we, General Nagata, can recommend you as the commander of the 303rd Division of the Imperial Association Army."

Hearing this, Xu Rui and the Chief of Staff Luo Youdu looked at each other, and then laughed.

Seeing the two people laughing, the Devil Messenger's expression became very ugly.

"Why are you laughing?"

The ghost messenger threatened: "If not, Jinghai County will be completely smashed into ruins by the [-] imperial army."

"Your regiment will also be completely crushed into piles of corpses by the 3 imperial army. Your Excellency, you only have one chance."

Seeing this, Xu Rui laughed for a while, and then said to the ghost messenger: "Go back and tell this old devil, Nagata Taro, that Laozi Xu Rui is in Jinghai County, waiting for him to attack.".

"More than 1 devils have been killed by Lao Tzu one after another. There are only [-] devils. At most, I will fight for a month. If Lao Tzu doesn't kill the messenger, get out!"

As he said that, before the ghost messenger could speak, Xu Rui waved his hand and was thrown out of the city.

After the ghost envoy was driven out, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said with a smile: "You have completely cut off the way out.".

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Rui smiled and said: "I just want the devils to know that I want me to leave the city and surrender. It's a good idea.".

"What's more, it's impossible for us to surrender now. After all, we have already killed a devil prince, and killed more than 1000 devils back and forth. For devils, it is impossible to write off the debt. "

After a pause, Xu Rui said to Luo Youdu, "Order all departments to be more vigilant."

"Next, the devils may have harassment operations. If there is a large-scale attack, it is best to counterattack and prepare."

Luo Youdu immediately became serious, nodded and said: "Understood!".

Afterwards, the two continued to stay at the top of the city, watching the darkness outside the city.

At this time, the ghost messenger who was driven out of the city slipped back to the division headquarters of the 36th Division stepping on the dark ground all the way in disgrace.

"Reporting to the head of the division, the humble job is back."

The ghost messenger rushed all the way back to the military tent of the 36th Division headquarters, and immediately reported to Nagata Taro after a heavy pause.

"How is the situation in the enemy city?"

Nagata Taro said: "Also, Xu Rui rejected our persuasion to surrender."

"The head of the division is right. Xu Rui, head of the 303rd Regiment of the enemy Jinsui Army, has clearly rejected our persuasion to surrender."

The ghost messenger immediately reported: "In addition, the enemy has built a criss-cross and dense fortification within a few hundred meters outside the South Gate City, and most of them are very curved trenches.".

"In front of the outermost defensive trenches outside the city, there are many barbed wire fences."

Nagata Taro frowned upon hearing this.

"Division Commander, it seems that this Jinghai County is really not easy to fight. The conditions for a large-scale attack at night are indeed not suitable, and once a large-scale attack is made at night, the casualties will definitely be heavy."

Taketo Kensaburo, chief of staff of the division, said in a condensed voice.

"Mr. Zhuteng is right."

Nagata Taro nodded, and then said in a concentrated voice: "Order the prepared probing troops to attack. From now until dawn, small groups of stragglers will harass the enemy positions outside the city.".

"Large troops, hurry up and rest overnight, and arrange another security force to prevent the enemy from going out of the city at night to attack."

Taketo Kensaburo said in a concentrated voice: "Understood, division commander.".

Then, the devils continued to carry out small groups of stragglers to attack and harass the defenders' positions overnight.

It was not until nine o'clock the next morning that the attack of the small group of skirmishers officially ended.

This action made both Xu Rui and Luo Youdu sleep a little unsteadily, and when they woke up in the morning, they were almost sleepy.

"The battle is ready to start."

After Xu Rui had breakfast, he climbed up on the top of the south gate and saw that the army of devils outside the city had already launched an attacking formation, and then he smiled at Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Put up the big banner we prepared and put it in the city. Besides, see if you can provoke the devils."
