The jade gate in the early morning was closed with a biting chill, and the soldiers on the city wall had already changed their posts.

When the soldiers saw Ming Zhong ascending the city wall, they all retreated to salute.

Ming Chong looked at the dense enemy troops in the distance and asked, "What is the enemy's movement?" ”

"General, this night, the enemy side is extremely quiet, and there is no movement."

Ming Zhong nodded, took out the monoculars, and looked in the direction of the enemy.

In the field of vision, the Wusun camp was a little chaotic, not as orderly as the Qi Guo'an camp, and it was chaotic like a bazaar.

Seeing this, Ming Zhong showed a sneer.

"A barbarian is a barbarian, even if there is a musket, it is a rabble, and if you want to break through the Jade Gate, it is simply a dream."

"General! Looking at the situation of the Wusun people, I am afraid that they are not going to attack the city for a while. ”

Adjutant said.

Ming Zhong said: "There is enough food in the city for more than two months, and the reinforcements will arrive in a few days. ”

The adjutant also smiled and said: "Hehe, then Rome is also calculating, and wants to rely on the natives of the Western Regions to test my Daqi, I don't know if it will be frightened at that time, maybe its king will tie his hands and go to Chang'an to ask His Majesty for guilt." ”

The rest of the officers burst out laughing.

Ming Zhong said: "Although the enemy is a rabble, we should not underestimate the enemy, defending the city is a great achievement, if there is a business pool, you should know what the end is." ”

When the people heard this, they stopped laughing again.

"My subordinates understand!"

Ming Zhong picked up the binoculars and looked at it again, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"General! What happened? ”

"The enemy is starting to cut down trees."

"The Wusun people can actually build siege equipment!"

Everyone was shocked.

In the Western Regions of Nuoda, except for a city in Yumen, there is no second city at all, not to mention siege equipment, and most of these Hu people probably don't know what the city is except now.

In this case, the construction of siege equipment actually happened.

"Humph! It seems that the Romans taught them a lot. ”

"Since they will attack the city, it seems that this battle is going to be difficult."

"Hehe, thinking that this can break through the Jade Gate, it is really ridiculous, and I ordered the artillery to fire two cannons to scare the courage of the Hu people."

"No!"

Soon, the two heavy guns on the city wall adjusted their angles, and after two loud bangs, the cannonballs drew a graceful parabola and landed less than 100 meters away from the enemy.

This sudden artillery bombardment immediately made the Wusun army panic.

Ming Zhong saw through his binoculars that some Hu people were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and some Hu people scattered and fled.

However, soon, a team of Hu people on horseback came with knives and killed dozens of people one after another to stabilize the chaotic situation.

It didn't take long for the Wusun army to retreat some distance, which was beyond the maximum range of the artillery, and it was clear that the Wusun people were frightened by the shelling just now.

"It's just a rabble."

Seeing this, Ming Zhong once again made an evaluation of the Wusun people.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to report.

"General Qiyu, a man who claims to be the son of the Qiongguo Bo asks to see you."

Ming Zhong was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Uncle Qiongguo? How could his son be in Yumen. ”

"Lead the way, I'll meet the earl's son."

Qiong'an waited a little nervously, and when he saw a general walking towards him, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Qiong'an greets the general." ”

"You're the son of the Firmament?"

"Exactly down there."

Ming Zhong looked at the young man, and when he saw that he was seventeen or eighteen, he was a little suspicious, so he asked, "Is there a certificate?" ”

When Qiong'an heard this, he rummaged in his sleeve and said, "This is the next road, please take a look at the general." ”

Ming Zhong took the guide and examined it carefully, then said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is the son of the earl, I was offended a lot just now, please forgive me." ”

Qiong'an hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Can't! ”

"I don't know what the son is doing here in Yumen?"

Ming Zhongdao.

"It's not a secret, this jade gate is also here to sell goods, and now the barbarians are besieging the city, and they are terrified, so they have come to ask about the situation."

Ming Zhong said with a smile: "Childe, don't worry, the city of Yumen is strong, how can it be broken by a little barbarian, and Childe can live in the city with peace of mind." ”

Qiong'an nodded and said: "With the general here, I will naturally feel at ease, of course!" In the lower is also the people of Daqi, the barbarians are on the side, as the people of Daqi should also do their part, in the lower also know a little about the art of bows and crossbows and muskets, dozens of guards are also a good hand, if the general is useful, in the next must obey the order, let those barbarians see, I Daqi man's true colors. ”

When Ming Zhong heard this, he not only showed admiration, but arched his hand and said: "Gongzi Gaoyi, a certain admiration, but Gongzi is the body of a daughter, how dare you let Gongzi set foot in dangerous places, Gongzi just rests in the city." ”

Qiong'an sighed and said: "In this case, then there are lieutenant generals and soldiers in the labor army, I have nothing to help, I still have some spare money and food, I will send it later, the soldiers are stationed in the bitter cold place for the country, some things outside the body, and I hope the general will not shirk." ”

"This..."

Ming Zhong hesitated.

Qiong An said: "General! This is just some of my personal thoughts, I am the son of the uncle of the firmament, if I don't do anything this time, after I go back, if I have the face to face my father. ”

"This... Well, then a certain generation of army lieutenant generals thank you for your kindness. ”

Hearing this, Qiong An smiled and said, "Don't dare!" Can't! ”

"This time the barbarians are attacking, you can't have a drink with your son, and you will definitely drink with your son in the future."

"Dare to disobey!"

Dome arched.

Back at the residence, Uncle Zhang said, "If the Hu people are unusable, what is the son's plan?" ”

Qiong'an smiled: "What else? I only blame myself for my bad life, I didn't seize the opportunity, I did everything I had to do, and the rest depends on the will of God, by the way, have the guards ordered it? ”

"Don't worry, Childe, I've already explained."

"Well, that's good, let's wait."

A few days later, a muffled trumpet was heard outside the city.

Ming Zhong leaned against the breastwork and looked into the distance, only to see the enemy blackly pressing and thinking about the approach of the city wall.

"Order artillery preparation!"

As the order was issued, the guns placed everywhere adjusted their angles, loaded their shells, and opened fire when the enemy came into range.

Wusun's untidy army came to a halt about two miles from the city walls.

Thousands of people were separated from the military formation, pushing several meters high siege towers, ladders, crashing cars, and under the cover of the infantry, they rushed towards the Jade Gate.

Behind them, a squad of nearly a hundred musketeers aimed their guns at the charging soldiers.

Obviously, if these people retreated, they would be shot mercilessly.

On the high ground not far away, King Wusun looked at his majestic army with high spirits, and said proudly: "Kameng envoy, what do you think of my Wusun army?" ”

A gorgeously dressed man beside King Wusun smiled and said in a broken Wusun language: "Great King, your army is very strong, and I believe that with the weapons we provide, your army can defeat any opponent here." ”
