Chapter 403: The large Kong Ming Lantern is also afraid of me
On this night, the castle was full of torches, which seemed to illuminate the water in the moat.
The garrison in Zhending City was afraid of the pirates attacking at night------ and there were patrols patrolling back and forth on the city walls twenty-four hours a day.
When they walked along the city wall to the main gate of Zhending City, they couldn't help but look at the camp of the Liuqiu pirates------ their camp was only a thousand steps away from the main gate of Zhending City, and the lights were also bright.
Liuqiu pirates are really arrogant, their kerosene gas lamps lit with kerosene seem to be able to be hung casually in the barracks------ there are only ten families in the entire Zhending City who can afford to light kerosene gas lamps, except for Daru Chihua and Wan Hu Adult, the others are either rich or expensive.
There are well-informed signs in the patrol team who know that the other party is only about 10,000 people, and there is a quarrel between Daru Chihua and Wan Hu Lord.
The head of the ten thousand households was born in a large family of Zhending Road, and he took refuge in the Tatars early, so he was appointed as the head of ten thousand households of the Han army of Zhending Road.
Daru Chihua is the Tatar word for Overseer, and this official position has always been held by the children of pure Tatar nobles, and also oversees the administrative affairs of Zhendinglu.
The head of the Wan family is surnamed Liu Mingfan, and he has a good martial arts, as early as when the Liuqiu pirates were accepted into Zhending Road, he wanted to ask for orders to fight------ his family, and there are some other big families whose families have quite a lot of property in the various counties of Zhending Road!
Defending against the enemy is the best choice, but you can't let them in and ruin the real way.
Daru Chihua resolutely refused, but instead ordered all the armies that could fight to gather to Zhending City, with Zhending's tall and strong city walls, it was completely possible to hold back the other party!
The first few times he went to Shandong East Road to suppress the defeat of pirates, he knew more about it than Liu Fan.
Don't underestimate the pirates!
Kublai Khan, the big leader, sent people to order the transfer of the Tatar army and the Red Horse Exploration Army originally stationed here to the Zhuozhou City area------ what does this mean?
Illustrate the importance of the flow of pirates!
Daru Chihua said as if singing: "Hit them hard, drag them down------ our army will definitely fight back------"
Liu Fan, the head of the ten thousand households, didn't dare to refuse, he could only scold hatefully in his heart, what you said is really good, you have sent back the wealth and family members you have looted over the years!
Fortunately, the Liuqiu pirates did not attack the county seat, and the property of Liu Fan and the others was not lost!
Liu Fan, the head of ten thousand households, suggested that the four gates of Zhending City should be completely blocked, so that everyone could understand that there was no way out if everyone did not defend the city with all their might!
The Liu family has more property in Zhending City.
Daru Chihua sneered and refused again, only letting the three city gates in the east, west and south be blocked, leaving the north gate.
He meant that in case a large army came to help, it would be easier for them to enter the city.
Liu Fan had to listen again, he could only scold in his heart, the army is coming, the Tatar army and the Red Horse Exploration Army have been transferred------ it is clear that you are ready to escape!
Liu Fan can't run, his family and clan are really on the road.
The feud between the head of the Wan household and Daru Chihua has almost become public, and it will naturally be discovered by those who have a heart.
Everyone knew that this battle would not be easy to fight, and hoped that the pirates would come together the next day, and that the pirates would disperse on their own------ but no, and early the next morning everyone heard the shrill sound of brass trumpets outside the city.
Has the siege begun?!
Captain Liu Fan and Daru Chihua climbed the city gate tower to watch.
It turns out that this is the wake-up number of the pirates------ fuck, these guys can really sleep!
Captain Liu Fan squinted and peeked at Daru Chihua, we are too scared------ if we dare to attack at night last night, the other party will definitely lose a lot.
Daru Chihua stared at the barracks of the Liuqiu pirates, where dozens of smoke seemed to rise.
He didn't look at Liu Fan, but said to him: "Do you know how powerful the wire mesh outside their barracks is? ”
Captain Liu Fan squinted and could only see some neatly arranged wooden stakes, vaguely seemed to be connected by iron wires.
"The last time I suppressed pirates, sixteen warriors of my family died on that iron line, and it is said that it can take the initiative to touch people's bodies, cut them constantly, and they can't be torn apart, and they are shot alive by pirates!"
This tone is by no means false.
After hearing this, Captain Liu Fan felt a little chill in his back, and began to observe the enemy camp as carefully as Daru Chihua.
At this time, they suddenly saw a round thing slowly rising, and there was a basket hanging underneath, and there seemed to be people in the basket?!
Captain Liu Fan was taken aback, sure enough, they had Kong Ming lanterns that could lead people!
Daru Chihua said calmly, "Fortunately, that thing can only stay where it is------"
However, they soon discovered that the thing could move, and it was flying towards Zhending City!
Slowly, the people on the city wall could see clearly, the ball was painted with a huge eagle------ saw the basket spewing fire, and there seemed to be two people inside------ there seemed to be a windmill that kept spinning --- water---?!
Then there was a clattering sound------ as if one of their chariots was also making such a sound, which made people frightened.
Daru Chihua and Wan Hu went to the generals below, and no one proposed to go out of the city to fight, but the best way was to block the city gate.
Pirates can't fly in, can they?
But now two of them flew in------ and they were forty feet high!
No one tried to shoot an arrow to attack, and even the slightest experienced archer knew it was useless------ everyone was looking up at the guy with the windmill to see what he was trying to do.
After a while, the round thing flew to the center of the city, and it scattered countless pieces of paper at once!
What is that?!
Liu Fan, the head of the ten thousand households, immediately ordered his subordinates to look for it.
After a while, his men came back sweating profusely and handed it to the head of the Wan Household------ Daru Chihua could speak Chinese, but did not know Chinese characters.
Liu Fan, the head of the ten thousand households, laughed after reading it and said, "They actually let us raise the white flag and surrender!" If there is a kind of jump, it will come down!! ”
The generals beside him reluctantly laughed, at this height, unless it is an immortal, whoever jumps down will fall to his death!
Daru Chihua's face changed and said, "Hurry up and grab it back, don't let others see it!" ”
Liu Fan, the head of the ten thousand households, immediately ordered all of them to be collected, and those who kept it without permission were immediately executed!
This is clearly a blow to the morale of the enemy.
Liu Fan, the head of the ten thousand households, then gave another order for the musketeers to shoot at the monster!
"Phew!" "Phew!" "Phew!"
The extremely large Kong Ming lantern seemed to be startled, and the fire on its basket brightened, flying higher into the sky.
Hahaha, it doesn't matter if you hit it or not, it's at least afraid of us!
Daru Chihua muttered, "If you can use artillery, you can take it down------"
