Chapter 234: A life-or-death situation, escaping a disaster
Following the order from the brave general Pang Xianchu, the 100,000-strong Dragon City Southern Expedition Army stationed thirty miles outside Yongzhou City immediately assembled and prepared to march towards Yongzhou City.
As the counselor of the Prince's Palace, the South Vietnamese envoy looked at the orderly assembly of Longcheng's southern expedition army, and then looked up at the scorching August sun that blinded him, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
In the Chinese army's tent, only Pang Xianchu and his two lieutenants were left.
Fan Wuji took the "Edict of Surrender" from the Nanyue Kingdom and looked at it repeatedly, and said with some disbelief: "General Pang, this Nanyue Kingdom just surrendered to the emperor?"

"How does it feel, General? It's like a dream?"
Another deputy general Tang Ziyi immediately picked up the conversation and said: "General Fan, this shows that Emperor Tiande of the South Vietnam Kingdom is afraid of the force of our Longcheng southern expedition army, and even more afraid of the bravery of General Pang;"
"As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. It is the wisest choice for the South Vietnam Kingdom to open the gate of Yongzhou City and surrender to our Dragon City southern expedition army!"
"Otherwise, once the iron cavalry of the Dragon City army breaks through Yongzhou City, the South Vietnam Kingdom will be bleeding like a river!"
snort!
At this time, Pang Xianchu sneered.
What he said next poured cold water on Fan Wuji and Tang Ziyi.
Pang Xianchu said: "General Fan, General Tang, you two, don't be too happy. This general's envoy and surrender order from the South Vietnam Kingdom always feel weird in everything!"
Um?
Fan Wuji and Tang Ziyi both frowned.
Weird?
Fan Wuji asked: "General Pang, are you saying that there is something wrong with the envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom and the surrender edict?"
With that said, Fan Wuji grabbed the surrender edict again, looked at it carefully and said, "General, I read it again and again. Doesn't it seem like this surrender edict is fake?"
Tang Ziyi said with stern eyes: "General Pang, do you want me to go and arrest the envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom for interrogation? For at least three hours, I will keep him safe so that the envoy of the South Vietnam Kingdom can urinate him when he was a child." All about the pants!"
"inappropriate!"
Pang Xianchu waved his hand and said: "To rashly use violence against the surrender envoy without any evidence is not in line with the etiquette and law image of our great country."
Fan Wuji said: "Well, General Pang also agreed to the South Vietnamese envoy's request to come to the city to take over the defense. If there is any fraud in Yongzhou City..."
Fan Wuji hesitated to speak, but finally frowned and said: "General Pang should remember that Wu Fengxian, the vanguard general of the Yunhui Army, was deceived into Dragon City under the pretense of taking over the defense."
"so--"
Hahaha!
When he heard Wu Fengxian's name, Pang Xianchu suddenly laughed heartily.
Then, he said with a domineering look: "General Fan, you have to know that in the face of the absolutely powerful military strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain;"
"This general wants to use his plan to see what the South Vietnamese defenders in Yongzhou City want to do!"
With that said, Pang Xianchu waved his hand and ordered: "Send the order, the three armies will go out in armor and stay vigilant. If there is a fraud in the surrender of South Vietnam, we will take this opportunity to attack Yongzhou City!"
"The general will get the order!"
...
In the city of Yongzhou, Li Shiyu, the crown prince of Nanyue Kingdom, was in charge personally, and his deputy general Shi Feng, wearing armor and carrying a sword, accompanied him.
The gate of Yong'an Gate at the north gate was wide open, and the South Vietnamese defenders in the city also showed a lazy and demoralized attitude. They seemed to be really waiting for the Dragon City's southern expedition army to enter the city and take over the customs defense and military power.
However, out of sight outside the city, the eight thousand dead soldiers brought by Prince Li Shiyu from the Prince's Mansion were already ready with armor and swords, ready to attack at any time.
Especially the group of dead soldiers hidden in the secret compartment of the city gate were using a winch to pull up a huge iron fence and hide it in the city gate hole.
This heavy iron fence, weighing a thousand kilograms, is the "gift" carefully prepared by Li Shiyu for Pang Xianchu and the Longcheng generals!
Li Shiyu's strategy was also very simple. First, he used a fake surrender edict to trick Pang Xianchu, the leader of Longcheng's southern expedition army, and a group of generals under him into Yongzhou City.
After Pang Xianchu and his group of generals entered the city, they immediately ordered the iron fence hanging high on the city gate to be lowered, and the generals and soldiers of Longcheng's southern expedition army were divided into two, so that the head and tail could not see each other.
Next, eight thousand dead soldiers from the Prince's Mansion appeared and killed the generals of the Dragon City army headed by Pang Xianchu with their swords.
The last step was to lead the 100,000 South Vietnamese defenders in Yongzhou City to attack and defeat the leaderless Longcheng troops in one fell swoop.
The plan is now half done.
Li Shiyu has received a report from the disguised envoy. Pang Xianchu, the leader of Longcheng's southern expedition army, has fallen into the trap and is gathering an army to rush to Yongzhou City.
"Report——"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the enemy forces in Dragon City have all moved out and are advancing towards Yongzhou City in a long snake formation!"
It's time to apply.
Li Shiyu, the crown prince of the Nanyue Kingdom who was stationed in Yongzhou City, had received a scout report that Longcheng's southern expedition army was marching towards Yongzhou City.
He stood up and stood at the crenellation of the city wall, setting up a pergola with his hands and looking around. Sure enough, under the bright sun, he could already see the dark figures.
However, what surprised Li Shiyu was that the Dragon City soldiers and horses heading to Yongzhou City were all wearing armor and carrying swords. They were marching in the scorching sun and high temperature without fear of heatstroke!
Originally, in Li Shiyu's guess, after receiving the surrender edict from the Nanyue Kingdom, Pang Xianchu should relax his vigilance. Considering the high temperature, he should be considerate of his soldiers and let them march lightly.
In this way, Li Shiyu's plan was 70% successful.
You know, on the battlefield, there is a world of difference in combat effectiveness between soldiers wearing armor and those not wearing armor.
The Nanyue defenders in Yongzhou City were all wearing armor.
Who would have thought that the Longcheng army under Pang Xianchu actually marched under the scorching sun wearing heavy armor, which was somewhat beyond Li Shiyu's expectations.
Hum!
Li Shiyu snorted coldly and said, "These northern barbarians are not afraid of being roasted!"
Although the appearance of the Longcheng army in armor disrupted Li Shiyu's plan to a certain extent.
But this matter has already been set in stone and has to be launched.
Li Shiyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and give orders, asking the death warriors of the Prince's Mansion and the Nanyue defenders in Yongzhou City to prepare for battle.
Half an hour later, the vanguard of Longcheng's southern expeditionary army had arrived outside Yongzhou City.
The left and right Yuhou troops, responsible for protecting the safety of the main general of the central army, had also begun to pass through Yong'an Gate, the north gate of Yongzhou City, and entered Yongzhou City one step ahead to investigate the military situation.
Everything went so smoothly.
It was so smooth that the brave general Pang Xianchu riding on his warhorse had an illusion: Could it be that the Nanyue Kingdom really surrendered to the emperor, and this general thought too much?
After the left and right Yuhou troops entered the city and found nothing unusual, Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji, Tang Ziyi and his party also began to ride their horses to Yong'an Gate of Yongzhou City.
When the front half of Pang Xianchu's warhorse had already stepped into the Yong'an Gate.
Suddenly, Pang Xianchu's ears moved and he heard something.
When he subconsciously looked up, he saw an iron fence the same size as the city gate, falling from the sky at lightning speed.
The next moment, the sharp fence directly cut off the neck of the warhorse under Pang Xianchu's crotch.
After landing, there was a loud bang.
"General Pang——"
