The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 612

After breaking through Tongguan and entering Shanzhou half a month ago, Di Qing's East Route Army marched unhurriedly for half a month, and successively recovered Huayin, Dali, Pucheng and other cities, and finally invaded Weinan Prefecture.

Wherever they went, the Dashun army either fled upon hearing the news, or collapsed at the first touch, basically no decent offensive and defensive battles took place.

This road was invincible, and they reached Weinan Mansion invincibly, and the number of troops of the East Route Army had expanded to about 50.

Among them, there are about 10 direct descendants of the Qin army, and the rest are all people from all walks of life attached to and compiled along the way.Although the fighting power is not as good as that of the Qin army, it can also be strong and powerful, waving the flag and shouting.

With the continuous victories along the way, Di Qing has not lost the benefits of being attached to the army, so the morale of these people is quite high, and when they encounter wars, they all go forward bravely, not afraid of life and death, but they have gradually gained some bravery The appearance of the teacher.

After resting in Weinan Mansion for two days, Di Qing called all the generals under his command to discuss, and decided to divide the troops into two groups, and the east route went along Lintong to attack Xi'an City.

The other road is the South Road, which follows Lantian and Chang'an to attack Xi'an City from the south, and the two roads encircle Xi'an.

The two armies in the southeast and southeast acted separately, and Di Qing personally led the army in the east, but they were blocked at the foot of Lintong city.

Li Zicheng's old battalion was stationed in Lintong, they were regarded as the elite of the Dashun army, defended by Song Xiance, Li Zicheng's confidant.

Lintong City is the eastern barrier of Xi'an City, the capital of the Dashun Kingdom. Although it is a small city, it has a deep city wall and a ten-foot-deep moat, which can be called a fortified city barrier.

As long as Lintong City is touched, Xi'an City will be exposed in front of him without any barriers.Therefore, Di Qing predicted that the Dashun Army would definitely stick to this place.

Therefore, he has already made preparations for a strong attack. Before the main force arrived, he had already sent a vanguard army to cut off the roads in and around Lintong, especially the roads with Xi'an City.

He wants to fight down, and then go directly to the city of Xi'an.

But not long after the vanguard army left, they sent someone back to report that Song Xiance, who was guarding Lintong, had sent someone to contact him and asked to meet Di Qing.

Although Di Qing was a little surprised, he still guessed some of the reasons and asked someone to bring the envoy of Song Xiance here.

"The villain Song Siming has met General Di." The envoy was a young man, and he was very polite when he saw Di Qing.

Di Qing said: "You are the envoy sent by Song Xiance? What is your relationship with Song Xiance?"

The young envoy said calmly: "Reporting to the general, Song Xiance is my father."

Di Qing was a little surprised, nodded and said: "Song Xiance actually sent his own son as an envoy. It seems that he is sincere. Tell me, what is your father going to do?"

By this time, Di Qing had already confirmed that Song Xiance had sent his son to negotiate the surrender.

After all, at this time, there is no need to bury Li Zicheng with him.Besides, judging from the information collected from the senior officials of the Dashun Army, this Song Xiance has always been a man of deep scheming, otherwise he would not have become the number one think tank under Li Zicheng's subordinates, and besides, he still has the name of a prime minister.

Li Zicheng's situation is gone, and he can't turn back. Anyone with a little brain will think about it for himself at this time.Only those few people who are simple-minded and full of loyalty will follow Li Zicheng all the way to the dark.

Song Xiance was obviously not among them.

Song Siming said: "General, Li Zicheng is vulgar and domineering, without the appearance of a king. His Royal Highness, the dragon among men, is majestic and heroic, and will turn the tide. The world will be reunified tomorrow. My father and son have admired the court for a long time, and have long had the heart of effectiveness." , but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Today the general came with a heavy force, and the Dashun Kingdom is about to perish. My father is willing to do his best for the general, so that the general can conquer Xi'an more smoothly."

"Okay, if a virtuous father and son are loyal to the court, this general will naturally welcome them. I just don't know how your father plans to help me?" Di Qing asked with squinted eyes.

"My father is willing to open the gates of Lintong City and dedicate the city to the imperial court. As long as the general can report that the Song family is safe and sound." Song Si was obviously very humble.

Di Qing dismissed it, and snorted coldly: "Your father and son must be calculating. Although Lintong City is known as a strong city, it is not worth mentioning under the heavy artillery of our army. Even if your father and son do not surrender the city, I only want to break this city with my backhand. Your father and son have been under Li Zicheng's command for many years, and they have committed serious crimes. If there is no great service, how can I report the safety of your Song family in front of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent?"

Song Siming was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

What Di Qing said is indeed correct, not to mention that the soldiers in Lintong City have no fighting spirit, will not fight, and their morale is low.

You know, when they were in Beizhili that day, many people had personally experienced the power of the official army's artillery.

Thinking about it so far, many people's faces turned pale, and their expressions changed when they talked.

"Since there is nothing to say, then go back and tell your father to come and guard. I will use the cannon to talk to him. Don't regret today." Looking at Song Siming, Di Qing said coldly.

Song Siming finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "General, listen to me. My father and son want to submit to the imperial court and serve the general, and will never dare to fight against the imperial army again. The general has orders, but just say it clearly. As long as my father and son can do it, they will do their best."

Di Qing said, "In that case, then I tell you to listen. Tomorrow I will order the army to attack the city. Your father tried his best to resist. After two days of fierce fighting, he was finally defeated and fled to Xi'an City. When the time comes, when my army arrives at the city, you Father opens the Chaoyang Gate to let our army enter the city, and assists our army to chase and wipe out the remnants of the enemy. This is a great achievement. If it is done, I will protect the lives of your Song family. Otherwise, you can ask for more blessings."

After Di Qing finished speaking, he sent someone to see the guests off.

Now that he has the upper hand, Song Xiance has no place to bargain.He promised to live.If you don't agree, you can die with Li Zicheng.

The script has been written for you, and whether you can perform it well depends on your ability.

Song Siming returned to Lintong City in desperation, and told his father Song Xiance about Di Qing's request.

Song Xiance was speechless after hearing this, and Song Siming said urgently: "Father, should we agree to his request? The risk of this matter is not small. Once King Chuang finds out, our lives are in danger."

"Whether you will be discovered if you do it, or you will die if you are discovered, it is not certain, but if you don't do it, you must be dead. Do you think we still have a choice?"

Song Xiance looked at his son and shook his head, and said with a wry smile.
