Chapter 885 does not accept surrender
Outside the city of King Qiuci, the army of the western expedition that took the tea city of Qiuci did not choose to set up camp, and they all rested on the spot.
The king of Qiuci country, Bai Curry, the current king of Qiuci country, the surname Bai is a rare surname in the Western Regions, and Liu Mingzhi himself did not expect that the royal family of Qiuci would have the same surname as his grandfather's family.
It's just that the difference from the Han people can be seen at once in this name.
It is all thanks to Liu Dashao's blockade of the whole city every time he captures a city to prevent the leakage of news, and at the same time, the scouts are constantly investigating the news of the rest of the countries, and the news that the Western Expeditionary Army has captured so many countries is still in a closed state.
Except for the captured countries, the rest of the countries were still laughing and laughing, and the caravans were also detained by Liu Mingzhi at random to find an excuse, just to prevent the caravan from leaking the news.
The reason for your detention is very simple, I have bought all your goods, but you will not be allowed to return to China for half a year, and you must stay in the city.
The merchants had no intention of resisting, but were gladly locked up in the city to eat, drink, and merry, and from time to time begged Allah to give them a few more Liu Dashao so refreshing injustices...... Key customers.
"Marshal Qiqi, three thousand scouts have been sent to reconnoiter the entire territory of the Guizi Kingdom, in a group of five, with two sharpshooters in each group!"
"Yes, the Turtle Country borders several countries, so you must not leak any rumors, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the rest of the countries!"
"Order!"
"Report, the defenders of Yancheng have discovered the traces of our army and are preparing for battle on the city wall!"
"Keep scouting and wait for the Courier's return!"
"Order!"
"Cheng Kai, order the soldiers to deploy artillery, and you have to attack the city again!"
"The last will be ordered!"
"Erhe!"
"The last general!"
"You lead your 30,000 cavalry to the north gate and wait for the opportunity, and once there are cavalry out of the city, they will be besieged and killed!"
"The last will be ordered!"
"Han Peng, you lead 30,000 cavalry to the south gate!"
"Order!"
"Zhou Baoyu!"
"The last general!"
"Zhou Baoyu, you lead 10,000 archers and 10,000 light cavalry to ambush three miles away from the West Gate, and no one asking for help is allowed to cross your defense line!"
"Order!"
"Commander Qiyu, Commander Jiang is injured!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly straightened up from the sand table and quickly rushed towards the outside of the big tent, and the generals behind him also hurriedly followed.
"Jiang Lei, how are you?"
Liu Mingzhi grabbed the reins of the horse, strangled the war horse, and looked at Jiang Lei, who was lying on the back of the horse with a feather arrow stuck in his back, his face was gloomy and anxious.
Jiang Lei endured the pain behind his back with beads of sweat on his forehead and turned over and dismounted: "Dashuai, the last general is not a big problem, the arrow is blocked by the leather lining of the chain mail, and it is not inserted deeply!" ”
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly supported Jiang Lei's arm: "Quickly send the military doctor to Ben Shuai's big tent!" ”
"Yes!"
"Slow down, go to the big tent and rest first!"
"Okay, the last general is embarrassed to you, I didn't expect that the guards above Yancheng at the moment when the last general turned around actually released cold arrows, otherwise the last general would be plotted as a six-rank master!"
"You're right, it's Ben Shuai's carelessness, there is no country that dares to do anything against so many countries, Ben Shuai didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation!"
"Damn, the two armies are fighting without slashing, the country of Qiuzi is so immoral, this general has to slaughter the city!"
"Yes, Cheng Kai is right, slaughtering the city, first killing the innocent people of my Han family's caravan, and now he is even more unruly and hurting the envoy of my army, how to explain to the brothers if he does not slaughter the city!"
"Shut up, Ben Shuai has his own decision!"
"Yes!"
Let Jiang Lei lie on the table, Liu Mingzhi untied Jiang Lei's armor, and the military doctor hurriedly ran in with the medicine box on his back: "Dashuai, who is injured?" ”
Liu Mingzhi didn't blame the old military doctor for his uninvited recklessness, but called him over directly: "Old military doctor, come and see if the arrow is quenched!" ”
"Yes, check it out right away!"
The old military doctor took out a towel and put it in front of Jiang Lei: "General, bite the towel and bear with it!" It may be a little painful! ”
Jiang Lei took a deep breath: "You're welcome, just pull it out!" ”
After finishing speaking, he directly bit the towel and waited for the old military doctor to pull out the arrow!
The old military doctor cut Jiang Lei's wound and observed it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The blood stains are normal, the arrows are resisted by the armor, and the general's martial arts muscles are tight, and the arrows do not hurt the lungs if they go deep, and they can be healed in a few days of cultivation!" ”
"General, the old man shouted one, two, three and took the arrow, you bear with it!"
Jiang Lei lay motionless on the table and relaxed his body, it was not the first time he was injured, he knew that the more nervous he was, the more painful it was!
"One ........"
As soon as the word was spoken, the old military doctor pulled out the feather arrow on Jiang Lei's back, Jiang Lei snorted and crackled his fists, and his forehead was covered with sweat, which showed how much it hurt!
The old military doctor hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle to wipe the blood stains off Jiang Lei, applied the gold sore medicine, and bandaged it with a muslin boiled in boiling water.
"If you take medicine, you can be cured in two meals a day and seven days!"
Jiang Lei gasped and took down the towel in his mouth: "Old man, thank you!" ”
"The general is polite, it's a matter of duty! Marshal, the generals have retired! ”
"Slow down and don't send it!"
"Jiang Lei, how do you feel?"
"Dashuai, you can rest assured that the last general is fine! Ready to go into battle! ”
"Good boy, you go back to the camp to rest first!"
"The handsome, the last general ........"
"This is a military order!"
"Yes, the last general will retire!"
After Jiang Lei left, Liu Mingzhi's face sank and he walked out of the big tent with the heavenly sword: "Cheng Kai, order the three armies to attack the city immediately and not accept surrender!" ”
Cheng Kai's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, holding the horizontal knife on his waist and smiling coldly: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
The drums of war sounded, the flags flew up, and the horses restlessly swayed their hooves.
The soldiers began to push the artillery catapult and under the cover of the shield bearer to approach the city wall, and sure enough, before they got too close, a wave of tentative arrows began to shoot at the western expedition army above the city!
Most of the arrows rained down weakly, and a small number of arrows clanged above the shield.
Cheng Kai coldly waved the command flag in his hand, and the act of ordering the cannon to fire had already become familiar and jerky!
"Fire!"
Twenty artillery shells lined up in a row fell noisily towards the walls of Yancheng.
The sound of the explosion came, and the familiar screams of the Western Expedition army were heard from the city wall, and many people were blown out of the city wall.
"Three solid bullets, bombard the city gates!"
The soldiers immediately turned their guns and aimed them at the city gate, and began to fire and fire, the first shell missed, leaving a cloud of dust on the city wall, and the second shell that adjusted its trajectory flew away again.
One blow and the city gate was smashed out of a big hole!
Duan couldn't bear to immediately cooperate with Cheng Kai to command the Eight Bull Crossbow Catapult to start attacking the city.
The defenders of Yancheng first felt what is called despair, just like the despair of Gumo Country.
This kind of siege thing that is like a thunderbolt for some reason makes the defenders frightened and have no heart to resist.
"Report, cavalry was found at the north gate and south gate, about 10,000 people each!"
"Order Han Peng'er to work together to seek total annihilation!"
"Order!"
Liu Mingzhi raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the smoke and dust rolling on the city wall, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"The herald Duan can't bear it, when will the stones, crossbow arrows run out, and when will the army start to attack the city!"
"Order!"
"The herald Duan can't bear to transfer thirty crossbows to the city gate, none of the men and horses are allowed to come out without Ben Shuai's order, Ben Shuai doesn't want to watch anything alive go out of the city gate!"
"Order!"
