After driving away the envoys of the Qing army, everyone calmed down again.

Although he said that he didn't care about the lives of those soldiers, but when it came time to make a decision, no one dared to ignore the lives of thousands of soldiers.

"Everyone said, is there any way to save those people when the city is captured."

Xu Yuxian asked.

When everyone heard the words, they all had a frowning look on their faces. It was too difficult to capture the city and save people.

If Tadamu was a normal person with a desire to survive, it would be fine, but the key is that now Tadamu is more like a lunatic.

They don't want their lives, wealth and wealth, they just want to get revenge on them.

This kind of person can't be offended.

"Looking for a way to contact the Green Battalion generals in the city, I think Tadamu is the only one who is going crazy. The other Han nationality Green Battalion generals definitely don't want to accompany him crazy. If they can contact those people, maybe there is a way to save them. "

Qian Sule offers an idea.

There were 20,000 defenders in Hefei City, of which there were 12,000 soldiers from the Green Battalion, and they even accounted for the majority.

These people will definitely not be as loyal to the Qing court as Tadamu. If they can suddenly erupt, there is hope to save the thousands of people.

"I'm afraid this is very difficult. Now that the gates of Hefei are closed, it seems that there is no desire to communicate with the outside world. In this case, there is no chance of contact."

Liu Yingxiong said.

Unless there is a general of the green camp contacting them, they have little hope of contacting the general of the green camp. As long as no target is selected, their plan will be revealed.

"Or, we can conduct a night attack. They can't put those soldiers on the city wall at night, as long as we can break through quickly. At that time, the Tartars will not have time to kill those soldiers."

Lu Guangzu put forward his own ideas.

"This difficulty is also very high. Tadamu has an indifferent attitude to whether he can defend the city. He is more inclined to retaliate against our army. Once we attack at night, he may just give up the defense and concentrate on the city. Massacre the soldiers who have surrendered, and even massacre the people in the city."

Qian Sule shook his head. It was really a headache to meet a lunatic, because they didn't play the game according to the rules and played cards according to common sense.

"Why don't we exchange prisoners? We also have some Qing army generals who would rather die than surrender, and some are even Bellebezi. One can exchange at least a hundred soldiers."

"I don't think Tadamu will change it. Those prisoners have become his amulets. He won't exchange amulets for some useless people."

"Let's just attack hard. No one will die in battle. When they fail to perform their tasks, they should be conscious."

......

Everyone debated for a long time, but in the end they didn't come up with a plan that everyone could agree with.

In fact, there are many people who want to attack by force, but most of them are afraid, or are hard to say. The one who speaks out first and executes it is easy to lose the morale of the army and is disgusted by the soldiers.

"I think it's better to dig a tunnel. If we are lucky and not found, we can enter the city at night and find the place where the prisoners are held for rescue. If we are found, we can only resign."

Qian Sule made a suggestion.

The advantage of this suggestion is that when writing the battle report, you can prove that you are not ignoring the lives of those soldiers and are trying to rescue them.

Success is the highest, and failure is not easy to punish, after all, they worked hard.

To the top, to the soldiers have an account, this is enough. Whether it can be successful or not depends on the will of God.

Digging tunnels is a relatively common siege method, and there are many ways for the defending side to deal with this common tactic.

For example, several large urns were buried underground, covered with cowhide, and soldiers were specially dispatched to listen to the urns.

Digging a tunnel will vibrate the soil under the ground, and the sound of that vibration will be reflected back and forth by the large tank, which will increase the sound effect, which is much more convenient and clearer than directly pressing the ear against the ground.

That night, Wu Jun began to operate. In a tent in the main camp of the Central Army, they began to excavate.

In the beginning, it was far away from the city wall, but there was no need to worry about being discovered, and the excavation speed was very fast.

As they got closer to the city wall, they dug the tunnel more than one meter deep.

The deeper you dig, the harder it will be for the Qing army to listen to the urn.

At the same time, Wu Jun also dispatched interference troops on the ground.

Xu Yuxian picked a group of loud soldiers, put on their armor, and sent them to a place very close to the city wall to shout to the Qing army on the city wall and persuade them to surrender.

This kind of persuasion in front of the Qing army generals will definitely have no effect.

But Wu Jun's purpose was not really to persuade the Qing army to surrender, but to attract the attention of the Qing army and reduce the risk of being discovered by digging tunnels.

"Han brothers in the city, you have been surrounded. Continuing to resist is a dead end."

"Brothers of the green camp in the city, surrender, as long as you surrender, you will immediately become a part of us and get higher military pay."

"Brothers of the green camp in the city, don't do stupid things. As long as you surrender, our army will never kill prisoners. But if you dare to kill our army's prisoners indiscriminately, then you will lose your qualifications to surrender."

......

The targets of these people's shouting are the green camps in the city. After all, these people are more easily tempted.

And those Eight Banners soldiers are stubborn elements.

On the city wall, those Green Battalion soldiers were moved when they heard those words of persuasion to surrender.

Not only the soldiers are tempted, but some low-level generals are tempted.

After all, what Wu Jun shouted was the truth.

Now Hefei is under siege, and the Qing troops in other places are unable to rescue them, so they can only defend themselves.

A lonely city, it is too difficult to keep.

Continue to resist, and most of them will die.

Many soldiers actually hoped to surrender, but they couldn't find the opportunity. Beside them, the Eight Banners soldiers are always watching.

Without an officer to take the lead, those soldiers did not dare to show their desire to surrender, otherwise they would easily be caught and used as an example. It's not easy to be the first bird, and everyone hopes that others can stand up first.

Therefore, even though they thought very much in their hearts, they still looked indifferent on the surface.

When Tadamu heard Wu Jun's shouting, he was half-hearted.

He knew that this kind of shouting would greatly shake his military heart.

"Go on, mix the Eight Banners soldiers with the Green Battalion to defend and supervise the battle. Any soldier who surrenders will be killed immediately. The generals of the Green Battalion should report any signs of wanting to surrender immediately."

Tadamu said that he would use this method to deter the green battalion in the city.
