Chapter 219: Unconditional Surrender

Zhang Jie called Ju Yi. Dao: Do you still have a bed crossbow in your hand? Ju Yidao: The bed crossbow is bulky and inconvenient to carry. Only bring a three-bed crossbow.

What does the lord want a bed crossbow for? Is it siege?

What kind of city to attack? So I will write a letter, and you will shoot into the city with a bed crossbow.

Promise!

Budugen was also anxious in the city, and he couldn't stand it after only ten days.

Suddenly, I heard from someone that the Han army shot a letter to him. Open it and take a look.

Steproot Leader. Now your troops are surrounded by our army, and they cannot escape. Ben will remember that God has the virtue of a good life, and give you a chance to lay down your arms and open the city gates to surrender unconditionally.

Otherwise, no one will be left after the city is broken! Zhang Jie!

Bu Dugen also read the letter to Fu Luohan, and said: Zhang Jie asked us to surrender, what do you think?

Zhang Jie has a large army, and although horses can be herded on the grassland, the soldiers' rations are definitely not much. It is also very far from Taiyuan to Liucheng, so they will also be in a hurry for food.

Zhang Jie is anxious for us to surrender, it should be for this reason, we might as well write to him as well, saying that we Xianbei are willing to be vassals to the Han Dynasty. As long as he is willing to withdraw from the army, we are willing to compensate them with some cattle and sheep. But the surrender of Kaejo must not be unconditional.

Bu Dugen said: Good, as long as Zhang Jie withdraws from the army, everything will be easy to say in the future, and it is nothing to call the minister Nagong.

Then Budugen sent the letter out of the trench.

Zhang Jie saw what Bu Dugen said in the letter, Nagong. There was no sincerity at all about surrender. Furious! Damn, toast without eating and drinking.

Zhang Jie said: Call Ju Yi to come over.

After a while, Ju Yi came over, and Zhang Jie said: You go find some rags and soak them in lamp oil. Then he strapped to a bed crossbow arrow and aimed it at a place in the city where there were houses. Burn Liucheng for me. You can burn as much as you can.

Promise!

In the last few days, Ju Yi has only three bed crossbows, but he has also shot dozens of crossbow arrows with fire into the city. Ancient houses were mostly made of wood. Shot by a rocket, Liucheng soon caught fire.

The fire raged in the city, although it was immediately extinguished. But the fire still burned a lot of houses.

Budugen in the city was even more anxious. If this continues, if Zhang Jie shoots a few rockets every day, the houses in the city will burn down sooner or later. If you surround it for a long time, it will be fine in summer, but in winter you will all freeze to death.

Looking at the fire in the city, Zhang Jie said to everyone: In the future, a rocket will be fired into the city every two days, the time can be at night or during the day, there is no fixed time, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. Make the enemies in the city tremble at every moment. Anyway, it is to make the enemy uneasy. It is better to burn Liucheng to the ground.

Promise!

Thirty days had passed since the siege had passed, and Daihua said to Budugen: There is no grass for the cattle in the city, and they are dying in large numbers.

All the forage is being given to the horses. The rest of the animals were killed or starved to death.

But even if all the hay, leaves and other fodder are given to the war horses. At most, it will be eaten for another ten days. If there is no forage after ten days, the war horses can only be allowed to eat grain. But if you let the war horses also eat grain, each war horse must eat at least ten catties a day, and tens of thousands of war horses in the city are hundreds of thousands of catties of grain every day! Not for a month. All the food had to be eaten.

If you don't let the horses eat food, they can only be killed. But what a pity to kill such a good war horse! Besides, our Xianbei warriors have grown up on horseback since childhood, if there are no war horses, how can we fight against the Han army?

Budugen said: Zhang Jie besieged the city, just to starve us to death. It is better to kill all the cattle and sheep first to make food. Save some food first.

Fu Luo Han said: Hey! It's not a long-term solution. Now the grain in the city can still be eaten for half a year. The main thing is that there is no forage for war horses.

Did you really kill the horses? But if you don't kill, you can only starve to death. You can't really let the horses eat food, right?

Ay! Why don't you break through? Escape one by one

Budu Gendao: How to break through? The gates are blocked.

Daihuadao: I've already seen that the gate is blocked by sandbags, so we just need to fold the gate inside the city and enter the city like sandbags. The main thing is that the outer trenches must be filled. Otherwise, you won't be able to cross the trench and still won't be able to get out.

And our warriors fill the ditch, and the Han army will release arrows. The casualties are sure to be heavy. Fill a passage, and I don't know how many people will die. Even if it is filled, I estimate that there will be no one in ten that can stand out.

Even if we can escape, what will happen to the people in the city? Do you leave them alone?

Budugendao: But what if you don't break through? Zhang Jie wants us to lay down our arms and surrender unconditionally. Isn't this the same as being slaughtered?

Dai Hu Adao: If you don't have to wait for five days, the Huns promised us to hold out for a month and they will send troops, and it has been a month now. If the Huns really talk and count, then they have already sent troops now. Five days was enough time for them to get to Liucheng. If the time has not yet arrived, it means that the Huns will not come. We're either going to surrender or we're going to break out.

It seems that this is the only way to go. Then let's wait for another five days, if the Hun reinforcements have not arrived after five days, then we will decide to break through.

And ten days ago, the Xiongnu royal court, Yu Luofu had already received that the main force of Xianbei was defeated. Only the remnants are currently besieged in the city.

Now in this situation, how can the Huns send troops?

At that time, Yurov also called several confidants to discuss.

Go to Beidao: The main force of Xianbei is gone, but Zhang Jie's 100,000 army is still there, if we send troops again. Not only can he not defeat Zhang Jie, but he will also get into trouble. Although Zhang Jie is cruel to Xianbei people, he has never had a holiday with us since his debut.

And I also wrote to the king before, and my subordinates think that we should befriend Zhang Jie. And it should not be hostile.

Since we declared ourselves to the Han Dynasty, there has not been any major war with the Han people. Now Zhang Jie is the strongest candidate in the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with us calling him a vassal. Xianbei is destroyed, we will have one less threat, and if we marry Zhang Jie, we will be able to preserve our strength.

Yu Luofu said: That's right, but it's too early to call Zhang Jie a minister. Zhang Jie was only a general of the Han Dynasty. If we pay homage to him, it will be misunderstood.

But we can send him some sheep and cattle. I heard that Zhang Jie is lustful. It's better to pick a few beauties and give them to him. What do you think?

The king is smart, Zhang Jie sees that we take the initiative to send cattle and sheep, beauties, he will definitely not be our enemy. Go to the humble road.

Good!

Yu Luofu said: You personally take someone to send it to Liucheng. Zhang Jie is in Liucheng. You have two hundred fat oxen, a thousand sheep, and five beautiful women. No! Ten people. Give it to Zhang Jie immediately.

Tell him that the Huns will always be his brothers, and that if he has anything to help, he can always ask.

Promise!

Zhang Jie was resting in the tent when he suddenly reported that a team of men and horses was coming from the west.

Zhang Jiedao: Can you see that it is the army?

The scout said: The army is less than a thousand people, and there are many cattle and sheep, I don't know who they are.

Zhang Jie said: Order Zilong to take two thousand light horsemen to check.

Promise!
