Chapter 574: Siege (3)
Three days later, more than 100,000 people from the Central Plains gathered, both old and young, all holding farm tools without exception, which was extremely simple. During this period, there were many people who ignored the warnings of the coalition forces and went to the city to take it for granted that the defenders of Kelonas open the city and release them. Of course, there are some Central Plains thieves and ignorant Central Plains priests who instigate trouble.
Where will the defenders eat this, so they demand that the coalition withdraw their troops, and the defenders will release them. Obviously, only a fool can be fooled, and in fact the common people are "simple", so the villagers who went to lobby the defenders to release them turned around and demanded that the coalition troops withdraw their troops, which shows how ridiculous and sad it is.
The situation changed suddenly, and Fang Liang quickly reported the news to Bai Liyan:
"General, the leader of the villagers has asked our army to withdraw, if it does not withdraw, once it becomes a stalemate, I am afraid that the defenders will take the opportunity to leave the city. But if they withdraw, the defenders will still take the opportunity to leave the city. Please also ask the general to decide"
"Go, tell these leaders that the army of one million in the Central Plains has already arrived in Posong Province, and in a few months, it will reach Songdia, saying that we are devils or beasts, as long as they have the blood of the Central Plains people and the skin of the Central Plains people, they are all slaves and cattle of the Jinxuedi people, and their wives and daughters are still adulterated.
Let them send someone to tell the defenders and order them to surrender, and I, the king of the Central Plains, should forgive them with a merciful heart and treat the people in the city well. ”
Fang Liang was puzzled when he heard the news:
"My lord, I'm afraid this is impossible, even if the villagers can believe it, the defenders won't believe it."
"Nonsense, I don't believe this kind of nonsense!"
"Oh...... And after that? ”
"Then the defenders will flatly refuse the demand, and then you will tell the village leaders that the coalition forces are here to rescue their wives and daughters. Since they aided in the abuse and did not recognize the affection of their compatriots, but our Central Plains coalition army thought of the compatriots of the same clan, and out of sincerity, the coalition army could give up the north gate and let the Jinxuedi people release them. ”
"This ...... That's it? Fang Liang hurriedly asked.
"That's it. But remember, the Jin Xuedi people still will not agree to our army's demands, for fear that there will be fraud, so they will continue to ask our army to withdraw. Therefore, after the withdrawal of the army from the north gate, these stupid villagers will threaten our army on behalf of the defenders, and then let the men and horses of the west gate withdraw to the south gate. ”
"My subordinates understand."
Cannibalism has begun in the city, even if one person is released, the news of cannibalism will leak out, and the defenders know very well what the consequences are. Obviously, it is absolutely impossible to release the Central Plains women and children from the city out of the city, and it is also impossible to open the city to let the Central Plains people outside the city enter the city.
In the end, there is only one result, the defenders in the city are closed to news, and they only want to send people to break through and send a message to the outside, then there is only a bloody road, and a bloody road is to kill a bloody road from the gap opened by the coalition army, and this bloody road must be to step on the corpses of the Central Plains people with weak defense lines.
Two hours passed, and as Bailiyan expected, the defenders categorically refused to surrender. Fang Liang took advantage of the situation, proposed to take a step back, the coalition army withdrew the garrison outside the north gate, Jin Xuedi people opened the city to release people, and after the coalition army withdrew from the north gate, the Central Plains people outside the city negotiated with the defenders, so that they fell into the trap of the coalition army step by step, and the coalition army outside the west gate retreated to the south gate.
There must be one and there are two, the coalition forces opened the west and north two ways out, Jin Xuedi people were still not at ease, and once again proposed that the coalition troops at the south gate withdraw, Fang Liang had nothing to do, so he returned to the ship and asked for instructions again:
"General, the defenders want us to withdraw from the south gate, and we still don't retreat."
Bai Liyan smiled at this time:
"Hehe, I said General Fang Liang, why don't you use your brains, if you want them to surrender, they won't surrender, they let us give in, and then let us let us, our army has promised the defenders three conditions, have you asked the defenders when they will meet our requirements?"
"This ......," Fang Liang's face turned red and he was speechless.
"Go, gather the heads of the villages for me, and Ben will personally go and call this time."
"Yes."
After Fang Liang left, Jiang Jie persuaded:
"My lord, the city is dangerous, so let's go down."
"And what can you say about them?"
"I can't."
"That's the end of it. Go, get a few decent clothes to put on, put on shiny armor, prepare a small boat, and land outside the south gate. ”
"Yes!"
After a short while, Bailiyan landed on a boat and rode to the camp of the coalition army outside the south gate, and more than 20 people elected by the leaders of each village were already impatient, and they were clamoring for the coalition army to retreat.
"Shut up to General Ben!"
Bai Liyan scolded her harshly in fluent Jin Xuedi, but everyone didn't buy it, and one of the leaders immediately asked:
"Who are you?"
"The general of the Central Plains Southern Expedition, who was ordered to go south to conquer the barbarians, is the devil in your mouth before."
"You'll speak our mind!" The man was taken aback.
"To be precise, you forgot your book, and you can't even speak Zhongyuan!"
The man's face was red-eared and dumb and speechless, everyone was suspicious when they heard the news, and they were suspicious of the man in front of him, who was less than twenty-seven or eighteen, and highly doubted the identity of Bai Liyan, at this time an old man in gray clothes and white hair, with a yellow face and thin muscles, said:
"Are you really a million people?"
"Yes, it's an army of one million, and the outer city of Posong Province, Pavens, has been conquered by our army, and it will only take a few months to conquer Posong Province."
"Then you are the general of this million-strong army?" The old man asked again.
"Ben General was ordered to come to Songdia to explore the way, the commander of our army is far away in Posong Province, where can I come here to talk to you."
"I don't believe it, how can there be a million troops in the north, how can there be a young general like you in an army of tens of thousands of people, at least forty years old."
"Yes, I don't believe it either, how can there be such a young general, he must be lying."
The doubts were loud, and Bai Liyan said sharply:
"Humph! At the age of fifteen, the general fought on the battlefield and galloped the world, and countless heads were recorded on his waist. Since the Southern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of barbarian thieves have been killed, so how can you wait here to make a mistake. Our army is here today, originally to get your wife back, but you are here to mess around and excuse the barbarians, what is the reason! ”
"Why do you talk like that!"
A tall man with a white face, eyebrows, and a bad nose stepped forward and said, Bai Liyan asked coldly:
"What do you mean!"
"You besiege their city, our wives and daughters are in the city, how can they open the city and let our wives and daughters out, you should withdraw your troops, the original good life is because you have been bad, in my opinion, you are sent by the devil."
"Humph! When the two armies are fighting, how can there be any reason for them to retreat because of the casualties of women, because they took your wives and daughters hostage, and were ravaged by our army in the city, and you are here to excuse the barbarians and ask for mercy, resulting in the casualties of our army, are you so lowly, willing to be slaves and untouchables, driven by the enslavement of the barbarians, and watching your wives and daughters being raped by the barbarians, right? ”
Bai Liyan's words were strong and loud, and everyone was silent, but the man said again:
"What's the use of what you say, our wives and daughters are now trapped in the city, we should find a way to rescue them first."
Before the words fell, someone chimed in:
"Yes, that's right, if the sky is broken, you should rescue people first, and it's useless to say for a long time. In my opinion, they are liars! ”
"It makes sense, now it's better to find a way to get the women and children out of the family, it's all of us who are unlucky when it's late, not them."
One person provoked the instigation, and everyone immediately responded, and Bai Liyan could see that there were still many Central Plains thieves in these heads.
"That's enough!" Bai Liyan broke off and shouted: "According to the general, you are the lowly seeds, look at it for yourself, more than 100,000 people are gathered here, watching their wives and daughters fuck the barbarians and be happy, but you are still discussing how to harm your own people, you are not cheap!" ”
"How do you scold people, do you think you have something great, don't you just have a few broken weapons!"
The tall man sneered at each other, and Baili Yan said sharply:
"Broken weapons! Do you have a kind of siege? ”
"What do you mean?"
"Your wives and daughters are in the city, and our army is here to rescue your wives and daughters, and they have suffered many casualties, and what you have done is chilling. Since you have a way, then attack the city and show it to the general. ”
"You're crazy, no one here wants to die, as long as you withdraw from the army, they will release people." The tall man took it for granted.
Bai Liyan sneered:
"Hehe, that's good, that's what you said, if they don't let go, what are you going to do."
"This ...... What to prepare, what do you mean. ”
"What do you mean, our army has been besieging the city for more than a month, and there are many casualties, just because of your words, you have to give way to the main road and give up the siege, who will bear the losses caused by this, you want our army to give way, and all the consequences arising from this should be borne by you, you can think clearly."
"You!"
The tall man was speechless for a while, and without waiting for him to say more, Bai Liyan said again:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our Central Plains Army has kept its promises since ancient times, and now our army has repeatedly agreed to the demands of the defenders, and the defenders have not let you wait for your wife and daughter, which is despicable. Now, for the sake of the overall situation, our army has taken another step back. The general immediately went to the city to negotiate with the barbarians, if our army retreated, and they did not let go, then do not blame our army for turning its face and ruthless. Come! ”
Jiang Jie stepped forward and said:
"The subordinates are here!"
"Take everyone to the south gate, and let them see with their own eyes who are the faithless beasts and devils!"
"No!"
When the time came, everyone came to the city, and the defenders of the south gate were like facing a great enemy:
"Hey, let your guards come out and talk!"
Bailiyan shouted loudly, and the defenders at the head of the city responded cautiously:
"Who's in the city!"
"The general of the Central Plains Southern Expedition has attacked the city here, let your guards and administrators come out and talk."
When the little soldier heard the news, he was also taken aback, and immediately reported the news to the guards and administrators of the city.
When he was young, the timid magistrate of Kelownas, under the escort of the iron shield, came to the city, hid behind the female wall and looked at the city, swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage to poke out his head, and shouted in a trembling voice to the city:
"Listen, people outside the city, I'm Mushak, the administrator of Kelownas, as long as you withdraw from the army, everything can be discussed."
At this time, Baili Yancheng scolded:
"Fart, the two armies are fighting, how can there be a reason to retreat without a fight. The previous time our army looked at the old and weak women and children in the city, persuaded you to surrender, you can't wait, and then asked our army to give up the siege again and again to make way for the main road, our army thought that the lives in the city were devastated, and they have also given up the north gate and the west gate, and now they want our army to retreat, don't you feel shameless! ”
