083 Desperate Battle(8)
This mining machine, which was less than a meter high, was under the control of Meng Qi in the distance, and quietly sneaked under the tall city wall of Qu Yu Kingdom.
After Meng Qi gave the order to excavate, the red indicator light of the mining machine flashed and began to start the drill bit work.
On the city wall, a soldier squinted, looked down, and said strangely: "I seem to have seen a red light just now." ”
"Where?" The soldiers next to him hurriedly leaned over to check, but couldn't see anything.
"Huh? Now it was gone, and I saw a flash of red light just now. The former soldier said.
"You're sleepy, look at the red in your eyes, it's the red light in your own eyes." The soldier next to him scoffed.
"Standing guard all night, no one can stand it, hey."
The mining machine below has been working, digging into the underground rocks from time to time, making a snorting sound, but fortunately the power of this machine is not high, the movement is not very large, and the barrier with the upper layer of dirt is weakened, and the soldiers on the city wall do not notice the strange sound below.
At first, digging a longitudinal tunnel from top to bottom was a bit troublesome, Meng Qi needed to often control the machine to transport the excavated soil to the outside and dig deep, Meng Qi estimated that when it was about the same depth, he began to dig horizontally, digging towards the city gate of Qu Yuguo.
After digging directly under the city gate, Meng Qi manipulated the machine to put down a black box, and then dug in another direction.
The mining machine dug a horizontal and vertical passage under the city gate, and after placing six black boxes in different locations, it finally completed its work, and under the control of Meng Qi, returned to the ground.
"That's it." Meng Qi put away the machine that returned to the tent and said with a smile.
When the surrounding soldiers saw Meng Qi's appearance in his chest, they were all relieved.
"Okay, you all go back and rest, recuperate, attack the city tomorrow, by the way, don't forget to arrange people to stand guard and patrol, we still have 30,000 troops in front of us, I'm a little worried about whether they are really obedient." Meng Qi yawned, looked at the surrendering army outside the tent, and said.
Zhang Dagen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have polished their sharpness along the way, I think they are sincerely obedient, otherwise how could they suffer such humiliation?" ”
Every time he was attacking the city, Zhang Dagen ordered the surrendering army in front of him to lie down, and then pulled his bow and released arrows, slaughtering the soldiers of Qu Yuguo in front of their eyes in such a humiliating way, so that these surrendering troops completely gave up the bottom line in their hearts.
Meng Qi shook his head and said, "Their submission at this time is only due to our strong force, if they seize the opportunity, they will definitely choose to fight back." ”
Zhang Dagen nodded and said, "Yes, I will urge our people to take care of the surrendering army in front of me." ”
Another lieutenant interjected: "Your Majesty, what is the siege plan for tomorrow?" ”
Meng Qi said: "Tomorrow, I will break through their city walls first, and then you will rush into the city under the cover of the elite of the earth branch." Zhang Dagen, after entering the city, you take a team of people to the city wall to deal with the defenders, and the rest of the people are responsible for resisting the army in the city. ”
Zhang Dagen raised his eyebrows and said, "The 11 people from the local branch are also here?" ”
Meng Qi smiled: "They have been waiting for a long time. ”
"As for the common people in the city, you must not harm them, we are besieging the city, not slaughtering it." Meng Qi added.
A young general couldn't help but say, "What if they are obstructed and attacked by their residents?" ”
Meng Qi smiled meaningfully and said, "I don't think so, I have already dropped sugar-coated cannonballs in their city, if the plan is successful, those residents will choose to stand by and protect themselves." ”
"Oh?" The surrounding soldiers were a little surprised.
According to the report of the Inner Ying installed in the Imperial City of Quyu Kingdom, the 'Thought Bomb Project' carried out by Meng Qi among the ordinary people has been fully implemented, and at this time, most of the residents in the Imperial City of Quyu Kingdom have shown signs of enlightenment, and under the guidance of well-intentioned people, they have begun to believe that the young emperor of Pingtian Kingdom has divine power and can bring them true equality and freedom.
"In this case, there will be no mistakes, and we will win tomorrow." A general clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"Yes!" The man next to him chimed in.
"Your Majesty, you rest early, let's retreat." Zhang Dagen clenched his fists.
"Well, let's go down." Meng Qi commanded.
The group withdrew from Meng Qi's tent.
The night in early spring was very cold, especially in the field, the gusts of cold wind blew people shivering, Meng Qi spread two layers of thick bedding in the tent, lying on it, comfortable and warm, but he couldn't sleep for a long time when he thought of tomorrow's battle.
Tomorrow, if there is no accident, his army can easily capture the imperial city of Qu Yu Kingdom, and then unite with the Blue Candle Kingdom to destroy the last 100,000 troops of Qu Yu Kingdom guarding the northeast border, and it will be a matter of course.
'I think Zoro should be in the Blue Candle Country, I don't know how the negotiations are going. Meng Qi thought secretly.
And what really made him sleepy was the escaped strategist Sun Su, Sun Su has always been Meng Qi's throat, and if he doesn't get rid of this Sun Su, he will be unstable for a day.
Sun Su is known as 'Sage Sun', and he didn't show anything outstanding in this battle, faintly, Meng Qi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what went wrong.
Thinking about it, tiredness hit, and Meng Qi fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning, Meng Qi woke up on time, he walked out of the tent and looked at the army outside, fortunately there was no turmoil in the army, and the troops were still sitting in place, waiting for Meng Qi's order.
Meng Qi came to the camp and found that breakfast had been prepared, and the portion was according to the army on the side of Pingtian State, and there was no breakfast prepared to surrender the army.
Meng Qi came to the army and said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, we didn't expect you to join us before we marched, so we didn't prepare your breakfast, and when we attacked the city, we didn't need your help, you just need to rush into the city with us." ”
The army looked at Meng Qi and nodded, there was no excessive expression on his face, thinking that the experience of the past two days had completely discouraged these soldiers.
After Meng Qi finished speaking, he returned to the camp and had breakfast with the soldiers around him, without holding the emperor's shelf, treating himself as an ordinary soldier and laughing with the soldiers.
The troops of Qu Yuguo in the distance were a little surprised when they saw it, and they felt deep down in their hearts that the emperor could have such an approachable style, and he must be a virtuous king.
After all the soldiers were full, Meng Qi had just appetized, and Meng Qi was not polite, and began a one-person performance, and nearly 50,000 people from the two countries of Pingtian and Qu Yuguo were all watching this feast.
All the dry food for three hundred people went into the emperor's stomach.
This time, Qu Yuguo's army was even more shocked, and they began to believe that this emperor was not a mortal.
Meng Qi ate the upper limit of daily satiety in one meal, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "You are full of food and drink, ready to attack the city!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted, and the morale was high.
