The scorching sun baked the earth, and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army rode motionless on horseback, while the servant soldiers turned their heads and waists one by one and were very uncomfortable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The preparations for the siege were carried out intensively, and Mu Ji, who was ordered to lead the troops to attack the city, was making siege arrangements for his subordinates, Zhao Ziliang didn't care about how Mu Ji was preparing to attack the city, he cared about the result.

Militarily, the Indians really have nothing to commend, in terms of siege weapons, the only thing Muji can handle is a siege ladder, not even a trebuchet, not to mention heavy siege equipment such as well railings, ballistas, rushing carts, and battering rams.

When Zhao Ziliang saw Mu Ji commanding countless servant troops to carry a siege ladder to forcibly attack the city, he couldn't help but rub his face and beckoned to Gao Shang.

Gao Shang walked up the steps of the imperial chariot and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "King! ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed: "Give the siege camp an order, let them build siege equipment immediately, looking at the appearance of Mu Ji, I am afraid that he will do it brutely, if he can do it, it will be just a waste of the king's time!" Let's build siege equipment first, in case this kid is talking big, and he can't capture this Taal city within two days, the equipment built by the siege camp can be used immediately! ”

"Yes, King!" Gao Shang agreed, and whispered a few words to the herald of the imperial chariot.

A morning passed, and none of Muji's men were able to climb the city walls during the siege, which made Muji's face look very unpleasant. The Tianzhu people are lazy and can be seen at all times, so they are lazy and listless no matter what they do. During the siege, the servants and soldiers all cowered, and even when they rushed to the bottom of the city, they were grinding as they climbed the siege ladder.

At the end of the siege in the morning, the servants left behind some corpses and retreated like a low tide. Zhao Ziliang didn't continue to look at it, and waved his hand to let the imperial chariot pull him back to the camp.

The lack of progress in the morning made Muji feel a little uneasy, and he was angry in his heart, and scolded several of his generals in the tent, and beat them with a horsewhip, and threatened that if the siege in the afternoon continued to make no progress, he would kill people.

Tianzhu is a good place, the weather in this place is hot, the temperature difference is not very big all year round, if you plant rice, you can plant three seasons a year, due to the abundant sunshine, rich water resources, as long as the cultivation is good, it is definitely a large production area, according to Zhao Ziliang's estimate, as long as India is well managed, the grain of India alone can feed the entire population of Xiqin, and India is also rich in mineral resources, the people here believe in Buddhism, Hinduism, and the temperament is relatively mild, weak, very good to rule, This is also the reason why Zhao Ziliang must bring down India.

The siege continued in the afternoon, and the hot weather made the soldiers of the servant army listless and demoralized, and under the pressure of the officers, the soldiers of the servant army forcibly attacked the city with sweat, and the casualties were even heavier, and the servant soldiers were even afraid of the casualties for a time, and retreated without the order to retreat.

The siege failed on the first day, which made Mu Ji have a sense of crisis, he just began to boast in front of Zhao Ziliang that Haikou would be able to capture Taal City one day, but now the cruelty of reality slapped him twice, but fortunately Zhao Ziliang gave him more than a day.

At night, in his tent, Mu Ji Tie looked at some of his generals with a blushing face, and shouted: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, retreating without a military order, the crime deserves death!" Someone, drag him down and kill him! ”

"Lord, spare your life, spare your life, I am your faithful servant, you can't kill me・・・・・・"

The begging for mercy outside the tent soon stopped abruptly, and Mu Ji pointed outside and shouted to the subordinates in the tent: "See, this is the end of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and retreating without authorization!" We have the last day of tomorrow, and tomorrow you all have to cheer me up and do your best to storm the city wall and take the city of Taer, otherwise the master will kill you all!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The generals agreed with affection.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ziliang shook his head with a quilt full of coconut water and said to the generals of the Western Qin Army: "No wonder this Tianzhu has been unknown for thousands of years, except for the Buddha and some influence, everything else is unknown, dare to love them to fight like this, with their siege method, as long as the troops and food and grass in the city are sufficient, they can keep defending!" ”

The generals laughed.

Gao Shang said: "Tianzhu has not had any dynasty that has an impact on the outside world since history, Weichen thinks that this is related to the development of their Buddhism and Hinduism is too prosperous, almost everyone in Tianzhu is a believer, chanting scriptures all day long, making people have no temper at all, you look at those servant armies outside, all day long like dead fathers and mothers, frosted eggplants, what combat effectiveness can such an army have?" ”

Zhao Lei said: "Father, today's siege, the sons have seen it from beginning to end, these Zhaohan people's will to resist is indeed very tenacious, much more tenacious than any city we have attacked since we entered Tianzhu, no wonder Muji's men and horses will not make any progress!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Tomorrow they still have one day, let's take a look!" How's the siege machine going? ”

Gao Shang said: "A number of well fences, rushing carts, battering rams, ballistas and catapults have been built, but the stone bullets used in ballistas and catapults are not much because there are too few people!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "There are many free Tianzhu people here who can use, why don't you send troops to catch a batch?" In the time of conquest, don't care about anything, do what you have to do! If you want to do a benevolent government, you can only do it after complete conquest! ”

"Yes, Weichen will send troops to catch a batch of them nearby!"

The next day, after the siege began, Mu Ji personally led the troops to attack the city, the Zhao Han people in the city of Taal seemed to be determined to defend to the end, and all the soldiers fought to the end, which made Mu Ji hit the stone again, and the casualties after the siege began to increase, Mu Ji knew that if he could not capture the city of Taal today, he was afraid that it would be a terrible result to wait for him, so he also began to work hard, constantly urging the soldiers to climb the siege ladder, and successively killed dozens of lazy people who did not work hard.

Under the supervision of Mu Ji himself, the servant army also began to desperately attack the city, and from time to time some people climbed the city wall and slashed together with the Zhaohan people who defended the city, but even so, they were quickly driven down by the Zhaohan people.

The battle was fought from morning to dark, and both sides did not rest until the sun went down, and Muji still did not break through the city of Taar, and the sound of gongs to collect troops and return to the camp was heard behind him, and Muji had to grit his teeth and jump off the city wall.

When Mu Ji walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and saw Zhao Ziliang staring at him expressionlessly, he suddenly felt his scalp explode, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The king spares his life, the Zhaohan people are too tenacious, beyond the villain's expectations, please give the villain another day, if you can't capture Taal City, you don't need the king to order to kill the villain, the villain himself will cut off his head to see the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Time is precious, and this king doesn't have much time to waste for the incompetent!" You said earlier that you can capture Taal City in just one day, and this king gave you two days and promised a rich reward, even in this case, you still failed to capture Taal City, this king has already given you a chance, but you yourself did not cherish it! Come on, drag Muji down and lock him up and wait for disposal! ”

"Yes, King!" Outside the tent, a few Western Qin armor soldiers walked in and dragged Mu Ji away, and Mu Ji kept begging for mercy, but he couldn't pay attention to him, and the other servant generals who were still envious of Mu Ji were now glad one by one, fortunately they were not the ones who led the siege of the city!

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand to everyone and said: "That's all here today, let's go back and rest, and talk about the siege tomorrow!" ”

"Yes, King!"

On May 28, the Western Qin army and its servant army again came to the city of Taer.

The sun gradually rose, Zhao Ziliang sat on the imperial chariot and looked at the city wall, and waved his hand: "Come on, bring Mu Ji over!" ”

"Yes, King!"

A few armor soldiers quickly escorted Mu Ji over, and at this time, Mu Ji completely lost his previous vigor and was dragged over like a dead dog.

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Mu Ji and said to the generals and servant generals: "Mu Ji made a military order in front of this king, saying that he would take Taal City within one day, and this king gave him two days, and promised him that as long as he took Taal City, he could choose one of the two peerless beauties around this king, and allowed him to take away thirty percent of the wealth in Taal City, but he disappointed this king too much, and betrayed this king's trust in him, so he must be punished!" Come on, drag it down and cut it off, hang your head on the flagpole! Let everyone see, this is the end of daring to coax this king and daring not to work hard! ”

One of the armorers waited for Zhao Ziliang to finish speaking, and immediately took out his waist knife and cut off Mu Ji's head with a swing, and the other armor immediately lifted the long hair of his head and hung it on the flagpole.

Cold sweat broke out on his noble vest and forehead, and he found that Zhao Ziliang's scheming skills were becoming more and more superb, and he was muttering in his heart, maybe the king had long known that this Taal city was not easy to fight, and deliberately promised a heavy reward for Mu Ji to lead the troops to attack, so as to take this opportunity to get rid of him, who made him dare to covet the beauty that the king loved? Killing Muji in this way will not cause any dissatisfaction among the other servant generals, and everyone will only think that Muji is to blame. If you order to kill Mu Ji in the main hall at that time, it will definitely make the other servant army generals uneasy, and it will cause dissatisfaction in their hearts, but using this trick will not have these side effects, and at the same time, it can also test the strength of the Zhaohan people, and also kill chickens and monkeys, deterring other servant army generals, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
