Chapter 2797 how to lose (2/2)
At this time, Wang Cheng, the leader of the rebel army, sent people to convey to them the idea of capitulation. Those generals had no doubt about Wang Cheng's words. In their opinion, Wang Cheng's rebel army has lost several times in a row and suffered a lot of casualties. At this time, it is completely understandable that they want to surrender.
However, they did not refuse Wang Cheng's surrender. The rebels were able to surrender on their own initiative. On the other hand, their imperial army could also lose less. Therefore, those generals were willing to accept Wang Cheng's surrender.
However, what they didn't expect was that Wang Cheng didn't really want to surrender. The reason why he offered to surrender was just to delay the time, at the same time, paralyze the hearts of the generals and let them neglect.
But those generals, with a general's carelessness, were really caught by Wang Cheng's strangeness. They sent people to accept Wang Cheng's army's surrender. However, the army was ambushed on the way. The people who ambushed them were Wang Cheng's people.
As a result, naturally, those generals were very angry. They immediately sent a large army to attack and wanted to completely suppress Wang Cheng's army. However, when the main army of the imperial court left the city, the people who wanted to negotiate with Wang Cheng had been ambushed in the city early, and then, using the gap between the main forces, they fought to the death The gate was opened to let Wang Cheng's main army, who had been waiting for a long time, enter the city.
After entering the city, Wang Cheng obtained the food, grass, weapons and equipment that the main force of the imperial court left here. Then, he led the army out of the city again, rearmed the rebel army, which was more powerful, and the army left in front of him before and attacked the imperial court's army back and forth.
At this time, the imperial court's military area also learned that their base camp was occupied by a sneak attack. The dry food they carried with them couldn't last for a long time, and their morale was naturally affected. Then, under the command of Wang Cheng, the rebel forces defeated the imperial court's main army at one stroke, causing heavy losses to the imperial court again.
In fact, from the very beginning, Wang Cheng deliberately showed that the enemy was weak. His army, with the support of other countries outside the customs, and through the suppression of the Wu Yan army, had already become more powerful than ever before. The reason why he was defeated in succession before was just that he deliberately tried to paralyze the nerves of the generals of the court.
The generals of the court have some abilities, but like the ministers in the court, they all think that Wang Cheng's people are not enough to support them. Therefore, they don't care much about Wang Cheng at all. Therefore, the successive victories don't make them feel anything different, but they take it for granted.
At last, when Wang Cheng really showed his sword, these generals were defeated. Moreover, the defeat was very thorough and the losses were heavy.
After listening to the account of the herald, the people kept silent again. At this time, they realized that they had really looked down upon the rebel force. On the one hand, the imperial court, after two successive defeats, lost a lot of power. On the other hand, the forces of the rebel force were increasing. With each passing day, the imperial court wanted to wipe out those rebel forces again, which had become very difficult 。
At this time, even the most optimistic people can't guarantee that they can easily defeat the rebels. As for the princes, the expressions on their faces are constantly changing.
They are absolutely sure that the rebels are strong enough now. If they lead the troops to go, there may be no return. In this case, they are really hesitant.
