And while they were speaking, the verbal attacks on the head of the city also ceased. But it was in vain that Mahama saw that he was grinding his lips again. Leave behind the threatening words such as breaking open the city gate and settling accounts after the autumn, and set up an attack in formation.

"Knock knock knock...", the sound of war drums bursts, so that people's hearts and minds are involuntarily shocked. Li Chengji was persuaded by Li Gao and had to leave the city wall.

In fact, he also knew that it was useless for him to stay on it. Because defending a city is not something that can be done by one person. On the contrary, because of him, Li Dawei could not deal with the war wholeheartedly.

But at this juncture, he can't be idle.

Just near the city gate, there were many people who had fled from outside the city. Hearing the sound of war drums outside the city, everyone looked frightened and very uneasy. Li Chengji found a building on a high point and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this place is close to the city gate, and it is easy to be injured by mistake. Everyone should go home quickly and hide quietly for a while. I believe that the soldiers defending the city will never let those Khorezm executioners easily attack the city. ”。

Some of the Puritans who heard this shouted, "The Puritans are mighty! The Puritans mighty! ”。 At first, there was little movement, but when it reached the city wall, the Puritans also shouted.

The people of Puhua City secretly read the name of the Puritans, and their faces were puzzled. Because of the name of the Puritans, they had heard it for the first time. It was also a Puritan force, mainly in Bancheng County.

This Pu Hua is the first time to come to the stage. Therefore, it is not surprising that the people are puzzled.

Not only them, but also Mahamat outside the city is a little strange. He spoke up, "Puritans? What kind of denomination is this? ”。

The generals present all looked at each other.

In the end, he was still a small commander of a low rank, and he responded cautiously: "My subordinate cousin has a living in Bancheng County, I heard him say in the letter." There was a big gang in Ban City, called the Puritans. But all those who have traveled in the past have paid money to them. Even the great Diwan (city lord) of Bancheng County had to befriend him. ”。

"Oh? Caravan? Mahamat muttered, as if he had thought of something, and asked a military tentalist beside him: "The Great Diwan of the old Sapurgan (present-day Sibargan, Afghanistan, southwest of Bancheng) seems to have mentioned that there is a big horse gang in Bancheng County, right?" ”。

The military accountant also immediately remembered something, and hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency the king, and your subordinates also remember that the name of the horse gang seems to be the Puritans." At that time, the king also ordered Da Diwan to recruit one or two for his own use. ”。

Although I didn't say the following words, I should know that the solicitation was not successful. Otherwise, the great Diwan of Sapper would have replied to ask for merit.

Mahamat immediately lowered his tone a little, and ordered, "Check! All the news about the Puritans was collected by the king. I'd like to see what kind of gods this Puritans believe! ”。

As he said this, the siege had already begun.

Because he came from a long distance in the desert and had the idea of a surprise attack, he did not prepare for the large-scale siege equipment. Even the craftsmen who accompanied the army did not carry it.

Fortunately, there are large oases around Puhua City. Although the trees are not thick, they can be tied together with more than ten of them, and they can also form a powerful tool for slamming the door. In a short period of time, a number of rather coarse siege engines were formed.

So the soldiers of Khorezm, carrying the giant tree, rushed to the city gate with a shout. Li Gao stood at the head of the city and immediately shouted a word.

In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and they rushed towards the army below.

This is still in Puhua's armory! When Sanjar occupied Puhua, he controlled the armory at the first time. Later, in addition to the capture of the Sadr Palace, some inventory was consumed. Other times, it is still well preserved.

When he arrived at Khorezm, he was caught off guard and captured Puhua City, and he did not use the military supplies in the armory.

Now, it's all Puritans.

I don't know if it's arrogance, Khorezm's army didn't even prepare a shield against arrows. As a result, those soldiers who besieged the city became completely living targets.

Therefore, in the first round, the soldiers who besieged the city suffered heavy casualties.

Although Mahamat did not know how many Puritans there were in the city, this did not prevent him from dividing his army into three places. Except that the city gate near the Lili River is a water gate, which is not easy to attack. The other gates were besieged by armies.

For a time, the entire Puhua was a war drum roaring, and the shouting of killing shook the sky. Although Li Chengji couldn't come to the city wall in person, he still did what he could. For example, when the people dispersed, a curfew was imposed on the whole city after a stick of incense was announced.

Then let Modur organize trustworthy young men and form a militia. The main duty is to maintain law and order in the city in times of war. If there is a traitor or a thief, he may be killed immediately.

In particular, the residential areas of dignitaries and dignitaries are the primary targets of inspection. Because today it can be regarded as an escape from the whole city, and those houses, except for a few old and weak, are basically empty. In addition, when he fled back to Puhua, it coincided with the chaos. Almost all of the dignitaries were blocked, and none of them came in.

Li Chengji was on the city wall and saw Zhang Timing and others in a hurry.

Therefore, thieves will never let go of such a target.

And let Rabi Rasi gather the young and strong women, and make a fire to cook. Fortunately, after some physical exertion of the Puritans, they were able to eat hot food in a hurry.

At the same time, the rice shops in the city were sealed. Without his orders, they could not be sold privately. In the end, food is a big problem, so the first thing is to control the food.

Finally, the great treasure trove of the Sadr Palace cannot be let go. Li Chengji asked Li Di to take some of the Puritans and ban the Sadr Palace. Neither the palace nor the common people could enter or leave.

This is still the name given by Li Atmosphere. It's easy to take the last word of Ushadi. It may be that looking at Li Chengji and looking at Li Di is pleasing to the eye, Li Wei specially sent Li Di to Li Chengji to protect his safety.

In order to maximize the determination of the people to resist Khorezm. Li Chengji ordered Rabi Lasi to spread rumors that Khorezm would slaughter the whole city after breaking the city. Anyway, women like to talk about the shortest things in the family. And the courage has never been great.

Tell them about it, and basically the whole family will know about it. The degree of spread of this news is naturally faster than expected.

With that done, the sun was already setting in the west. The offensive outside the city also seemed to have stopped. Li Chengji nodded, and shook his head again, a little complicated. Seeing that the sun was no longer so vicious, he sighed unconsciously.

At the same time, the capital city of the Great Liao was Balasagon. The Manchu Dynasty was full of civil and military forces, and the atmosphere was quite heavy.
