It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 976

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Cheng Dalei is a difficult person. Although the rumors in the rivers and lakes are mostly based on false rumors, but this point alone, the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true.

And this time, Luo Yi was able to personally experience why Cheng Dalei was so difficult.

Attacking on three sides, leaving a city wall empty, Cheng Dalei laid an ambush outside the city.

This kind of trick can't be hidden from Luo Yi, the old fox. Cheng Dalei's layout has almost been revealed, and he has not hidden it.

But this layout is simple, but effective. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are exceptionally capable of fighting. It is not a big problem for them to break through Lingchuan City alone, not to mention that the two of them are joining forces now.

And Cheng Dalei still has big names such as Zhao Zilong, Yang Zhi, and Hua Rong hidden in his hands.

So, it's only a matter of time before the city breaks.

Luo Yi and Cheng Dalei have a feud for killing their sons. If possible, Luo Yi would like to cut Cheng Dalei into eight pieces and chop them up to feed the dogs.

But in the current situation, self-protection is also a problem, don't think about revenge.

The first siege lasted the whole day, until at night the Liangzhou soldiers died down and prepared to fight again tomorrow.

Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that it was just a tentative attack, and there was still room to spare. But just testing, it has already made Luo Yi feel huge pressure. He has no confidence that he will survive the siege of Liangzhou soldiers tomorrow.

The defender had a great advantage in siege battles, but in front of Liangzhou soldiers, Luo Yi's advantage disappeared. The key lies in the siege equipment mastered by Liangzhou soldiers.

Except for trebuchets, rushing vehicles, and long-range heavy crossbows, they are all equipped with a sufficient amount of explosives.

Even the ordinary catapults and rams, the power produced in Liangzhou is even more powerful.

Cheng Dalei had been in Liangzhou for several years, and he did not disturb the troubled times at all. He was not willing to send troops until the final outcome was clear. But in the past few years, Cheng Dalei has not been idle. In addition to raising his ears to observe the general trend of the world, he devoted himself to weapons research.

Liangzhou produces iron ore, and every soldier can be equipped with carefully crafted iron tools. This point, even when the Rong race is galloping in the world, may not be able to do it.

Obviously, his research on gunpowder has reached a higher level. Therefore, the siege warfare that everyone in the empire is worried about is not a problem for Cheng Dalei.

It was only a matter of time before Lingchuan City was breached. Cheng Dalei was not in a hurry, just to leave some time for the battle on Li Xingzai's side.

Cheng Dalei understood this, and Luo Yi also understood this.

Cheng Dalei can take care of himself and fight this battle slowly. But it's a matter of life and death, Luo Yi can't enjoy leisure like Cheng Dalei.

He has to do something.

After the night truce, Cheng Dalei stayed in the tent and discussed the next thing with Cui Baiyu and Liu Bei.

After Luo Yi was removed, Jingzhou had no decent enemies. It was said that the battle on Li Xingzai's side was also going well, so it seemed that this war would end earlier than expected.

At this moment, Liu Facai came to the big tent and said, "The big boss has sent a letter from the city."

The letter was nailed to the gate with feather arrows, and the messenger did not dare to show his face. It was written that the King of Liangzhou had given it to Cheng Dalei immediately.

Cheng Dalei opened the envelope in confusion, frowning more and more the more he looked. Looking up, seeing Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu staring at him, Cheng Dalei handed the letter to them again.

After watching the two, they frowned for a long time, and after a while Liu Bei said, "Luo Yi wants to surrender?"

This is indeed a letter of surrender. In the letter, Luo Yi's words are sincere, he dares to be powerless to oppose Cheng Dalei, and is willing to lead his soldiers to surrender and serve Cheng Dalei.

After a moment of silence, Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu said in unison, "There is deceit here."

Cheng Dalei waved his hand and said, "Of course I know there is a fraud."

How could the hatred of killing a child be wiped away? Cheng Dalei had a hundred distrust in his heart for someone like Luo Yi.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't talk to each other about Liaozhai.

However, if you can defeat the enemy without fighting, you can save a lot of energy, so why would Cheng Dalei not do it.

"How to reply?" Cheng Dalei raised his head.

Liu Bei and Cui Baiyu looked at each other and said, Luo Yi has a plan, Cheng Dalei may not be able to use the plan to make his wishful thinking fail.

Liu Bei said: "Let's write back a letter and set harsh conditions to see how he responds."

Cheng Dalei nodded and spit out two words: "Of course."

A letter drafted by Cui Baiyu was delivered to Lingchuan City overnight. In the letter, Luo Yi's soldiers were asked to leave Lingchuan City. No one was allowed to carry weapons. An inch of iron was a murderer. Do not stay.

After Luo Yi received the letter, he gritted his teeth and wished to smash the table. Of course he wouldn't really surrender to Cheng Dalei. This was just a plan to delay troops, but he had no reinforcements at the moment, so the plan to delay troops was of little use.

Luo Yi's original plan was to lead Cheng Dalei into the city, bury an ambush by himself, and burn a jade stone with Cheng Dalei.

As a result, Cheng Dalei obviously had no intention of taking risks. Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, but unfortunately Cheng Dalei has put on shoes now, and Luo Yi is the one with bare feet.

It is very difficult to calm down the anger in my heart, and I seem to have nothing to do with the situation in front of me. Luo Yi replied with a letter and sent it to Cheng Dalei: He promised to leave the city and surrender to Cheng Dalei outside Lingchuan City.

After Cheng Dalei received the letter, he was also puzzled: It's all like this, what other conspiracies does Luo Yi have?

Now he is curious and wants to see what tricks Luo Yi is playing.

The siege of the city was postponed. On the pre-appointed day, the east gate of Lingchuan City opened, and the Luo family's army fish jumped out of the city and stopped outside the Liangzhou camp.

Luo Yi walked at the forefront, he had taken off his armor and wore only a white robe. If it is an inch of iron, the sincerity is obviously very strong.

Zhang Zijun had entered Lingchuan City and took over the defense of the city. It is Guan Yu who is responsible for handing over to Luo Yi.

"The Lingchuan defenders have a total of 78,000 people and are willing to serve the Cheng family." Luo Yi bowed to the end and raised his head to face Guan Yu: "Dare to ask where the Cheng family is?"

Guan Yu didn't lift his head, and said, "The boss is resting. I'm in charge of things here today."

Luo Yi and a few people around him looked at each other, and there was a dark cloud in his eyes.

"Reporting to General Guan, we admire the man of Cheng's family and are willing to let go of the army. If Cheng's family does not show up, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, then widened his eyes: "You admire the big boss, obviously you don't admire me anymore."

"This..." Luo Yi blushed: "Don't dare."

The defeated general He Zuyan is brave, not to mention the fact that he surrendered voluntarily.

Guan Yu quietly looked at some people around Luo Yi, only to see their eyes flickering and looking around.

Obviously, Luo Yi still has tricks. It's just that he has come this far, what else does he want to do?

What can he do?
