Chapter 631 Deception on the Front Lines! Chen Gong: Is Su Ziyi's disciple really that bad?
"This... does that kid Wang Chang really have that many troops under his command?"
Wang Ling's expression looked quite unpleasant.
Wang Ling naturally had a rough idea of how many troops were inside Huguan.
But precisely because she knew the situation, Wang Ling was even more aware that something was wrong.
If the enemy forces are really as large as Wang Chang boasted, does that prove that Ju Zong's army, or the Xianbei army, has already entered Bingzhou?
When outnumbered, it seems unwise to put up a stubborn resistance.
Should I go back to my old profession...?
"Snapped!"
Lu Xun slapped him again.
"Wang Ling, use your brain. If you surrender, do you think Wang Chang will let you live?"
A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Wang Ling's face.
It's all my fault for being such a fickle person!
I almost forgot, even when being a fence-sitter, you need to analyze each situation specifically.
If he surrenders to Wang Chang, he'll probably be the first one to be beheaded!
Seeing that Wang Ling still looked terrified, Lu Xun rolled his eyes:
"You believe everything Wang Chang says?"
"He falsely claimed to have tens of thousands of troops, and you actually believed him?"
"Even if the number is really as many as he claims, so what?"
"When Sun Quan attacked Hefei, he even falsely claimed to have 200,000 men!"
"In the end, they were still routed by General Wen Yuan's eight hundred elite troops, who routed them and left them in disarray?"
"At present, the entire Jinyang is united in its efforts and has abundant food supplies."
"As long as you can hold Jinyang for half a month, reinforcements will come from all over the country to support you."
"At that time, if you defend the city, it will be a great achievement."
"But if you abandon the city and flee, you will surely die if Wang Chang captures you!"
"Even if they manage to escape to another place, they will still be punished for losing a city and territory!"
Wang Ling fell completely silent.
He seemed to see Su Yu's shadow in Lu Xun.
Honestly, Lu Xun wasn't afraid of being besieged by tens of thousands of troops.
Cao Cao's officers and soldiers were most adept at winning with fewer troops.
Zhang Liao, in particular, remains a nightmare for Jiangdong to this day!
Moreover, Lu Xun did not believe that Wang Chang actually had that many troops.
He was certain that Wang Chang was not one of Ju Zong and Kebineng's men.
Since Wang Chang and these two were not in the same camp, he was destined not to receive external support from Ji Province and the Xianbei.
The only men he could still command were the few thousand soldiers garrisoning Huguan.
"Bring the city's defensive equipment here immediately, and let Wang Chang experience what it feels like to be soaked to the bone!"
Lu Xun gave orders to Wang Ling.
Wang Ling quickly did as instructed.
But soon, Lu Xun's voice rang out again:
"I told you to prepare defensive equipment, and this is all you brought back?"
What are the uses of bows and arrows and wooden stakes?
"Replace all of it with liquid gold and urine!"
Wang Ling opened her eyes wide.
No way... is that even human language you're talking about?
Lu Xun could no longer hold back.
Why is Wang Ling, who usually seems quite smart, so stupid now?
Was he imprisoned in the dungeon for days and his brain was fried?
"If there's no gold juice, then collect animal dung. Throw away whatever you can find, just don't let Wang Chang get away with it!"
Wang Ling understood now.
He thought to himself, "Lu Xun truly lives up to his reputation as Su Yu's disciple!"
This familiar yet sly evil reminded Wang Ling of those four big shots!
Outside Jinyang City
Wang Chang wasn't really sure about the outcome either.
He discovered that things were not going as Chen Gong had predicted.
Originally, Chen Gong had envisioned that, with the groundwork laid last night, the heads of the powerful families in the city should have surrendered without a second thought.
However, the garrison at Huguan had been standing outside the city for almost the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and no opportunist or surrender faction inside the city had fired the first shot.
Wang Chang thought to himself:
"its not right!"
"Are these still the old Bingzhou aristocratic families I know?"
"Why have they all suddenly changed their personalities?"
Chen Gong, dressed in a black robe, appeared behind Wang Chang, also looking puzzled.
"There may have been some changes in the city that neither of us knows about."
"Otherwise, it shouldn't be like this."
After exchanging glances, the two agreed that they had picked up the wrong script!
Those old families of the Plain White Banner in Bingzhou have no idea how to write the word "loyalty"!
"Could it be that Dong Zhao killed all those people?"
Such a conjecture suddenly popped into Chen Gong's mind.
But then he thought again, if Dong Zhao had such ability, he wouldn't have been suppressed by Wang Ling for twenty years.
"Never mind, we can't lose in terms of momentum."
"General Wang, you should give the order to attack the city first."
"Perhaps seeing the carnage of the battlefield, those aristocratic family patriarchs will surrender."
Wang Chang nodded and followed Chen Gong's suggestion.
He personally sounded the call to attack.
Behind them, eight thousand soldiers guarding Huguan Pass bravely took the lead.
after all.
Wang Chang had already deceived the garrison at Huguan, insisting that Wang Ling and Dong Zhao were traitors, while he, Wang Chang, represented justice!
In order to avoid being exposed, Wang Chang personally led the attack on the city wall.
He bravely took the lead, his sword flashing, and killed three of Wang Ling's servants.
But just as Wang Chang climbed the city wall and was about to go further, a huge piece of cow dung was shoved directly at his face!
Close your face and open it up!
The cow that produced the dung may have caught a chill recently, as its dung was slightly damp, giving Wang Chang a taste of "exotic flavor".
The one who threw the excrement was none other than Lu Xun!
In fact, a voice deep inside him was urging him to try setting fire to cow dung, saying that it might bring unexpected joy!
Wang Chang let out a miserable scream after being hit head-on by cow dung, thoroughly enjoying the meal.
Fortunately, his bodyguard caught him in time; otherwise, he might have fallen to his death on the spot!
Even so, Wang Chang lost his ability to fight, and the morale of the attacking side dropped rapidly.
Just as Wang Chang was about to sound the retreat, Lu Xun suddenly pulled out a megaphone and shouted to all the attacking soldiers:
"Fellow soldiers guarding Huguan!"
"I am Lu Xun, the junior brother of Cao Tingwei and the disciple of Su Weiwei!"
"Your general Wang Chang has colluded with the Xianbei and is plotting a rebellion!"
"I don't know what he promised you, or what he seduced you into doing."
"In short, if you continue to follow him, you're headed for death!"
"Switch right here and take his head, and I, Lu Xun, promise not only that you will not be punished, but I will also reward you double!"
After these words were spoken, the gazes of the soldiers guarding Huguan towards Wang Chang became somewhat strange.
Originally, the soldiers were unaware of the situation outside and believed whatever Wang Chang said.
At this moment, upon hearing Lu Xun's promise, regardless of how much they believed, a seed of doubt had already been planted in their hearts.
"Oh no! You must clarify! You are the loyal subject, and those on the city wall are rebels!"
Chen Gong quickly reminded Wang Chang.
But now, Wang Chang's every word sounds like cow dung.
He was breathing heavily, feeling like he was dying.
Lu Xun smiled coldly, seeing confusion in the eyes of the soldiers from Huguan.
Given that, he could roughly guess.
Wang Chang is definitely deceiving the soldiers of Huguan, spreading rumors, and claiming that the attack on Jinyang is to defend justice!
Thus, Lu Xun further overwhelmed Wang Chang in terms of momentum.
He not only presented Dong Zhao's head, but also made Wang Ling stand up and say a few words.
On the other hand, Chen Gong stood there anxiously waiting for Wang Chang to arrive.
Even if he speaks up for Wang Chang, it's not convincing at all.
After all, his current characteristics are more like those of a fugitive wanted by the police.
Wang Chang's throat felt like it was stuffed with something because he ate cow dung.
He tried to defend himself, but his speaking speed was no match for Lu Xun's!
