When Lin Chong heard the four people saying they were willing to surrender in unison, he laughed happily.
Dong Ping and Zhang Qing were fierce generals and could lead troops.
In this era of cold weapons, such generals were very useful.
At this time, I heard Zhang Qing say, "Brother, wait a moment."
After that, he said to the soldier next to him, "Lend me the dagger in your hand."
The soldier didn't dare to make the decision without authorization and looked at Lin Chong.
Lin Chong didn't know what Zhang Qing was going to do, so he nodded to the soldier and motioned for him to do it.
Zhang Qing took the dagger, held it upside down in his hand, then gave everyone a fist, and said, "Today on the battlefield, I injured several elder brothers.
Although they were their own masters at the time, now that I have joined the gang, I can't I won't apologize to my brothers."
After saying this, before anyone could react, he plunged the dagger into his thigh, and blood immediately flowed from the wound.
"Good brother, you are a man, hahaha, the Sa family forgives you."
Lu Zhishen was the most heroic man in his life.
When he saw Zhang Qing being so upright, all the resentment in his heart immediately disappeared.
"Quickly ask someone to stop the bleeding, Chief Zhang."
Lin Chong was also shocked by Zhang Qing's actions.
It takes much more courage to stab himself than to stab someone else.
After a while, the doctor accompanying the army came in with a medicine box.
He first gave Zhang Qing some gold medicine, and then carefully bandaged it with gauze to stop the bleeding.
Because Zhang Qing's move won everyone's favor, everyone also showed a warm welcome to the four people's joining.
After all, they are all good men with good intentions and no stingy people.
After everything was settled, Dong Ping said to Lin Chong, "Brother, I haven't made any achievements in my new surrender.
I would rather personally recruit the troops who came with me to use as a stronghold."
Seeing that Zhang Qing was in the limelight first, Dong Ping was afraid that he would be underestimated by everyone, so he took the initiative to recruit prisoners.
After all, these officers and soldiers were brought from the station by the two of them, and they still respected Dong Ping very much.
Lin Chong was even more happy after hearing this and said happily, "Just now I was worried about the matter of recruiting and surrendering, but I didn't want my brother to bring it up first.
In this case, I will trouble my brother as soon as the matter of the prisoners is over."
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely live up to my brother's trust," Dong Ping promised happily when he saw Lin Chong agreed.
After arranging things here, Lin Chong said, "Since the four brothers have joined, it is time to attack the city, so I am preparing to attack the city tomorrow, and strive to capture Daming Mansion as soon as possible and rescue Yuanwai Lu."
Early the next morning, the horns of the Liangshan camp were blaring and there were bursts of shouts.
Because Lin Chong had already planned an uprising, and since an uprising would inevitably involve attacking the city, Lin Chong planned to treat the attack on Daming Mansion as a drill to accumulate experience for future sieges.
The sound of Liangshan's horn alarmed everyone in the city.
The people in the city knew that Liangshan was about to attack the city.
They all hurried home, closed the doors and windows tightly, and hid in the corner with their wives and children in their arms.
Liang Zhongshu and others did the same.
When they heard the horn sound, they hurriedly ran to the city wall to see what tricks Liangshan would come up with after being silent for so many days.
Lin Chong had put in a lot of effort for this siege.
There were shield soldiers responsible for defense, ladder bearers responsible for erecting ladders, archers responsible for cover, ordinary archers, not the first climbers of the Shenjian battalion responsible for siege, and of course There were artillery troops arranged by Lin Chong at the rear.
Lin Chong did not intend to personally command the siege.
He handed over the command to Shi Bao.
Originally, the most suitable person was Hu Yanzhuo, because Hu Yanzhuo was a serious general, and it was not easy for him to siege the city and plunder the territory.
Too familiar.
But Shi Bao was one of the generals that Lin Chong focused on training in the future, so Lin Chong left the opportunity to him.
Of course, compared to Hu Yanzhuo, Shi Bao was Lin Chong's direct descendant.
Daming Mansion has two city gates, front and back, and four walls.
The total number of defenders in the city is only 10,000, and they can only defeat Wenda, Li Cheng, Suo Chao, and Yang Zhi.

Lin Chong now has more than 40,000 troops.
The extra troops are the troops Dong Ping recruited last night.
However, Lin Chong did not send troops to attack the city.
First of all, their morale is low.
This low morale is contagious.
If the morale of the troops at Liangshan headquarters is affected, the gain will outweigh the loss.
The plan that Lin Chong discussed with everyone last night was very simple.
Relying on his absolute advantage in military strength, he would attack from all four sides.
Of course, three sides would be feint attacks, and only the front would be the real attack.
Lin Chong also put all four wind cannons in front.
Shi Bao was responsible for the general attack from the front, and Shi Wengong was responsible for the rear.
Since it was decided to attack Daming Mansion last night, Lin Chong asked Shi Wengong to lead Niu Wenzhong, Zhu Jing, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen overnight at Daming Mansion with 10,000 troops.
A small village was built at the back door to prevent the defenders from escaping from the back door during the siege.
As for the city walls on both sides, Lin Chong sent Wang Huan and Feng Mei each with 3,000 troops to make a feint attack, not hoping to capture the city, but just to disperse the defenders' forces.
At this time, Liang Zhongshu, who was on the city wall, saw the dense crowd of Liangshan sergeants not far from the city.
He turned pale with fright and kept saying, "What should we do?
What should we do?"
Last night they also received news that the reinforcements had been wiped out, which was why Liang Zhongshu was so depressed.
"Sir, don't panic.
Our Damingfu city has thick walls, sufficient food and grass, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
It is not a problem to hold on for a period of time.
As long as the imperial court defeats Tian Hu, they will definitely send troops to rescue us immediately.
On the contrary, the bandits came from a long distance.
Not to mention anything else, the supply of food and grass was a big problem, so they couldn't afford it.
After a while of attacking and seeing that they couldn't defeat it, they might retreat automatically.
"Li Cheng analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves to Liang Zhongshu.
"This is true."
After hearing this, Liang Zhongshu felt a little relieved.
"Sir, what Director Li said makes sense."
Wang Taishou also agreed.
"Okay, in that case, I'll leave the defense of the city to both of you."
After Liang Zhongshu finished speaking, he gave the two of them a rare hug.
At this moment, with a long trumpet sound, Liangshan's first siege finally began.
Shi Bao waved the command flag in his hand, and the soldiers behind immediately shouted "kill" and rushed towards the city wall.
The shield bearer held a large shield high, covering the rapid advance of the soldiers carrying the ladder.
Behind them were two thousand soldiers who climbed up first, and behind them were the archers who had fully drawn their strings.
"Don't let the enemy get close, hurry up, fire arrows!"
Li Cheng, who was in charge of the main gate defense, shouted loudly when he saw Liangshan attacking.
Following Li Cheng's order, the archers who were already ready shot the arrows in their hands forward without hesitation.
The rain of arrows fell, taking away countless lives in an instant.
In this way, a brutal siege battle began.
Lin Chong stood at the back, looking at the soldiers who kept rushing up and falling down, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.
Although he has been in this world for almost three years and has experienced many wars, big and small, this is the first time he has experienced such a cruel siege.
Looking at the falling soldiers and listening to the bursts of wailing coming from the battlefield, Lin Chong's heart seemed to be bleeding.
He thought he had long been accustomed to facing death, but it turned out that his heart was still so fragile.

Originally, Lin Chong did not want to use artillery prematurely, because in the upcoming all-out war, cold weapons will still be the mainstream.
Although he can make artillery by himself, with the current technology and production capacity, it is unrealistic to put it into use on a large scale.
Many siege battles still rely on crowds, so Lin Chong wanted to accumulate more experience in this area.
But Lin Chong found that he was wrong.
It was not the war that was wrong, but his own thinking.
He knew that artillery could blast open the city gate, but he chose to kill it with human lives.
It was really a big mistake, so wrong.
It is outrageous and shows irresponsibility towards these soldiers who believe in themselves.
"Stop the attack" Lin Chong realized his mistake and hurriedly ordered loudly.
Shi Bao, who was commanding from the front, heard Lin Chong's order.
Although he didn't understand it, he still asked him to withdraw his troops.
Lin Chong was the commander of an army.
On the battlefield, what he said was equivalent to an imperial edict.
Everyone must obey unconditionally.
Obedience, Shi Bao is very clear about this.
As the gong sounded to signify the withdrawal of troops, all the soldiers who had been charging retreated like a tide, showing the good discipline of the Liangshan army.
Watching the Liangshan soldiers retreat, Li Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The fierce and fearless momentum shown by the Liangshan soldiers just now really shocked him.
"Too tough" was Li Cheng's evaluation of the Liangshan soldiers.
"Brother, the attack was going well just now, why did it stop suddenly?"
Shi Bao came over and asked Lin Chong in confusion.
"The casualties of such a forceful attack will be too great," Lin Chong said still a little depressed.
After hearing this, Shi Bao not only did not understand, but became more confused and continued to ask, "But isn't this the case for sieges?"
Lin Chong smiled, looked at Shi Bao and said, "It used to be like this, but now I have a better way."
After that, he shouted "Ling Zhen" Ling Zhen, who was behind, heard Lin Chong's call and hurriedly rode over, cupping his fists and saying, "Brother, what are your orders?"
"How are you preparing your wind cannon?"
Lin Chong asked directly.
"The four wind cannons are all ready and can be put into use at any time," Ling Zhen replied affirmatively.
"Based on your observation, if four artillery fires are fired at once, how many rounds can the city gate be breached?"
Lin Chong really didn't want to delay this war any longer, so he asked.
Ling Zhen looked at the city gate of Daming Mansion, thought about it in his mind, and then said, "As long as the distance is close enough, four wind cannons can be fired in unison, and it can be broken through in two rounds at most."
Shi Bao and others next to "Two Wheels" didn't understand the power of artillery, so when Ling Zhen said that it only took two rounds at most to breach the city gate, they all looked surprised.
In fact, in the Song Dynasty, artillery had already been developed.
Otherwise, Ling Zhen would not be the deputy gunner of the Tokyo Jiazhanku.
However, because his consciousness did not keep up and his concept could not change, it was rarely used in wars.
"Okay, Fan Rui, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, the three of you will lead the shield soldiers, follow Ling Zhen's command, and send the wind cannon and its gunner to the designated location.
Qin Ming, lead the cavalry battalion to be ready.
Once Ling Zhen blasts open the city gate with artillery, he will immediately lead the cavalry to rush into the city for me.
All the other brothers will wait for the cavalry battalion to enter the city gate and immediately charge with the whole army.
Tonight, I will hold a grand celebration banquet at Liang Zhongshu’s residence,” Lin Chong said proudly
