The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 642 Chapter 641 Surrender faction

After nightfall, the Han army stopped all military operations. This is undoubtedly good news for the Jiangdong Army in Nanchang City. They can take this opportunity to have a good rest.

Nanchang City has been bombed by Hong Tianlei, and there are ruins everywhere, but the Han army has never stepped into the city wall, and it seems that they are only harassing the Jiangdong Army.

Even the Jiangdong army didn't bother to repair the four gates of Nanchang City, because the speed of their repairs could not keep up with the speed of the destruction of the Han army. The sky thunder exploded, and the Jiangdong army couldn't bear such a huge contrast.

At the beginning, Sun Quan also ordered the repair of the city gate in an attempt to seal the city gate.However, after several feigned attacks by the Han army, Sun Quan simply gave up rushing to repair the city gate, even though the broken city gate was exposed to the attack of the Han army, even though the city gate opened a huge hole.

As always, the Han army kept the siege of Nanchang city tight. Even at night, its defensive strength not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, basically reaching a defense without dead ends.

The Jiangdong Army were like birds trapped in a cage, unable to fly out at all.

Not only that, the morale of the Jiangdong army was extremely low. When Lu Fan's head appeared in front of everyone, the morale of the Jiangdong army fell to the bottom. Even Sun Quan had given up resistance and sat in the city waiting to die.

However, Sun Quan was still worried about his subordinates, so after much deliberation, he decided to write a letter, and then ordered someone to shoot the letter into the camp of the Han army.

The person chosen to complete this task was Sun Ben. Sun Ben had extraordinary physical strength, was skilled in bowing horses, and was experienced in hundreds of battles.

After Sun Ben received Sun Quan's letter, he asked with doubts on his face, "My lord, what is written in this letter?"

"Just shoot it with the arrow, and you don't have to worry about the rest," Sun Quan said.

Sun Ben said: "My lord, according to your character, even if you don't tell me, I can still guess that this letter is a letter of surrender, right?"

Sun Quan didn't speak, but sighed heavily.

Seeing that Sun Quan's attitude had already acquiesced, Sun Ben immediately opened the letter in his hand. After a quick look, his face was gloomy, and he only heard him say: "My lord, do you think that Zhang Yan will let you go if you do this?" Have you ever been?"

Sun Quan said: "I chose to surrender, not because I was greedy for life and afraid of death, but because I was not afraid of death, that's why I chose to surrender. I also know that after I surrender, I will never end well, but I don't worry about going to the city. There are so many soldiers here, if my life can be exchanged for the lives of these people, I think it is very worthwhile."

Sun Ben sneered, and said, "My lord, you seem to think Zhang Yan is too simple. Even if you surrender, Zhang Yan may not let all the soldiers in the city go. Instead, the lord is asking for his own destruction. It's just asking for trouble."

Sun Quan said: "If you don't give it a try, how do you know if the Han army will allow me to surrender? Just follow my orders and ignore other things."

Sun Ben said: "My lord, don't you understand the reason why the tree falls and the monkeys scatter? If my lord's big tree falls down, the people who depend on this big tree will have nowhere to go and will part ways. At that time, Zhang Yan only needs to Sending two yamen servants will also be able to capture us remnants and defeated generals. The lord surrendered, it seems that he is saving us, but in fact he is harming us."

Sun Quan lost his attention for a while, and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Sun Ben said: "Nowadays the morale in the city is low and the morale of the army is weak. My lord might as well take advantage of this time to rectify the soldiers and horses. If anyone wants to leave, let them leave the city and surrender. If they don't want to leave, gather them together. I swear to die to live with this city. I would rather die than surrender, this is the courage of the Sun family."

Sun Quan said: "It's already reached this point, no matter what, there is nothing we can do, why not..."

"My lord! If you don't even have the will to fight, then how can you deal with the Han army? Please cheer up, my lord. As the saying goes, a snake will never go without its head. If you don't have your lord, we will die for your lord!" Sun Ben's attitude was very resolute. Even if he wanted to die with the enemy army, he was determined to die.

After listening to Sun Ben's persuasion, Sun Quan felt that he really seemed to be going too far. As a leader, how could he leave his subordinates alone and ignore them.

So, Sun Quan said: "Okay, just do as you said, gather all the people together, and conduct an inquiry. If you don't want to stay, you will definitely not harm him. Let them come and go freely. In this way Come on, the corrupt morale of the army may be able to be adjusted."

Sun Ben said: "My lord is wise."

So, Sun Ben conveyed the order instead of Sun Quan, and gathered all the soldiers in the square in front of the mansion, and then Sun Quan gave a speech, saying everything that should be said.

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Quan's words fell, someone immediately expressed their intention to leave Nanchang and join the Han army.

Sun Quan not only did not blame the soldier, but also asked someone to pay the soldier a sum of travel expenses and let him leave on his own.

As a result, more and more soldiers stood up, expressing that they did not want to stay in the city anymore, and would rather choose to surrender than sit in the city and wait to die.

For a moment, the Jiangdong Army was divided into two groups, one group was the unsteady surrender faction, and the other group was the firm-willed soldiers who were loyal to the Sun family. They chose to stay and live and die with Nanchang City .

Regardless of whether it was the surrender faction or the persistence faction, Sun Quan did not mean to blame. All surrenderers must leave the camp tonight. By tomorrow, they will be enemies.

The people who are willing to leave Nanchang City account for a large part of the people, but there are only a very small number of people who insist on staying.

Then, an interesting scene appeared. The adherent faction drove the surrendering faction out of the city that night, unwilling to see these people, thinking that being with these people would affect them.

Outside the city was the defense network of the Han army. When the Jiangdong army's surrender faction walked out of the city gate one after another, they unexpectedly discovered that they really had no other choice but to surrender.

As a result, more than 1 soldiers of the Jiangdong Army threw away their helmets and armor one after another, and came to the front of the Han army's defense line empty-handed, and finally knelt on the ground, begging for surrender.

After the Han army received the news, they immediately notified Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan heard the news, he didn't show any surprise, as if everything was expected.

"The order goes on, all those who come to surrender will be arranged in the nearest military camps, so that they can be entertained."
