Chapter 107 Five Inside and Outside the City
At the command of Billiudas, the soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward and pushed Manum to the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Manum shouted, "My lord! You can't just kill indiscriminately, my lord! ”
"This is Dadaran's ploy, how can he hide it from me? You're just trying to do it as a response in the siege! ”
"My lord! Listen to the villain! If the villain finishes speaking, you still think that we are guilty, then you will admit it to death! ”
Billiudas motioned for the soldiers to let go of Manum for the time being, and said, "You can say it, teach you to die." ”
Manum said, "My lord, my brothers and I are just trying to find a way out, and we don't have to do anything that should or should not be done. We just want to get our share of life and death in exchange. It may be hypocritical to say that, but we do want more, do you know what it's like to be in fear of tomorrow's death while only taking a tiny fraction of the gold and silver treasures every day? If you are worried that we will become an internal minister, my brother and I can leave this city at once, and ask you to give us our share of the ship, and give the rest to you, Your Excellency! Also, don't drive us out of the east or north gate, let us run for our lives to the west. My brothers and I can't thank you enough. If you still don't believe me, then even if I'm unlucky. ”
Biludas stared into Manum's eyes, and finally the expression on his face finally softened a little, and said, "You and your people will leave?" ”
"Leave, will leave, sir. We only seek a way to live, and ask for the grace of adults. Manum's eyes were full of pleading.
"Well," said Biluidas, "how much do you get paid?" ”
"Lord Hui, there are thirty-nine of us, two of whom died when we fled just now, and there are thirty-seven left, and each of us has been given four hundred silver coins, and the villain has another fifty gold coins as a reward."
"Good! I'll double it for you! Convert it all into gold, and leave the city as soon as you take it! ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Manum kowtowed repeatedly, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, raised his head and said, "Can your lord give us some dry food and water?" I'm afraid I can still use it along the way. ”
"Isn't there one on your own ship?" Biludas asked suspiciously.
Manum replied, "I don't tell you that eight of our ten ships are carrying gold and silver treasures, and only two are carrying grain and water, and the food and water of those eight ships are supplied regularly. Dadaran did this because he was afraid that we would escape without permission, and even if we escaped, we would be short of water and food, and we would definitely look for land landing supplies, and it would be convenient for him to pursue. So the food and water on our ship together are only enough to eat for two days. ”
"Oh? Only two boatloads of grain? Biludas quickly calculated the amount of grain stored by the Sindra merchant ship in his mind, and said, "Is the grain and grass of Nadaran mainly transported by land?" ”
Manum asked: "The villain came all the way along the coastal road, and the villain is really not very clear about the things on land, but he only vaguely heard that a considerable part of Dadalan's grain was collected along the way, and the villain didn't know how much it was and how to transport it." ”
Biljudas calculated in his heart that since Dadaran collected food along the way, it meant that his food was not particularly sufficient, even if he brought a large amount of food on the road, the chewing of the 40,000 troops along the way was very amazing, and it should have been consumed after such a long journey. The loading capacity of the two Sindra armed merchant ships may only be able to supply an army of 40,000 for fifteen to twenty days at most. As long as the opponent's initial attack is withdred, and if they can't hold out until their strength is exhausted, Dadaran's food will soon run out, and victory will be within reach.
Thinking of this, Biludas said, "In this way, I will give you ten days of food and water, which will be enough for you to survive to the next town." Hurry up and get the money and leave! ”
"Yes! Thank you for your grace, and you will always be grateful for your great kindness! Manum saluted, and was led down by the soldiers.
After Manum's party left, Biludas himself went to the ship to take a look, and sure enough, the cabin was full of all kinds of treasures, and the soldiers accompanying him were dazzled. Biludas rejoiced - these treasures could be used to boost morale, and of course it was great. He immediately ordered his own guards to take over the ship, and no one was to approach it, and to wait until evening to quietly transport the treasure to the treasury.
Biludas did this only to prevent the treasure from being seen by the ordinary soldiers and tempting them to do something stupid, and there could be no more such thing in the city at this juncture.
Before he could finish these matters, soldiers hurried to report that Dadaran's army had arrived.
Biludas was taken aback, he did not expect Dadaran's troops to arrive so quickly, after all, the previous night's report had said that it would take them at least two days to arrive. However, this situation was still expected, and Biludas immediately ordered his men to take their positions and prepare to meet the enemy. He personally rushed to the east gate to supervise the battle.
Although the number of elite troops in Bandar Abbas is limited, there are a large number of miscellaneous soldiers and civilians supporting the scene, and it is still magnificent and imposing to stand on the top of the city.
From the top of the city, Biljudas looked at the formation of Dadaran's troops, and secretly admired in his heart. Although Dadaran is young, his methods of using soldiers are comparable to those of a battlefield general, and even if he changes with him, he may not be able to do better.
At this moment Dadaran shouted from under the city: "Lord Bilyudas! In the next long admiration of your great name, you are a member of the general of the Pass, and you have guarded this port for the Passe Empire for more than ten years. It's a pity to follow the wrong master, where is the waste like Songares worthy of your allegiance? Listen to my kind advice, hurry out of the city and surrender, and I will surely guarantee you a higher position before Your Majesty!" ”
Biludas laughed in the city and said, "Thank you Lord Dadaran for your kindness, but unfortunately the old man is different from you, and the old man still knows what the glory of a warrior is!" Changing the court may be a tradition among you Sindra people, but the warriors of Paz will not be traitors! ”
"Bilyudas! You are the general of Paz! He didn't follow His Majesty and obeyed a rebellious minister! Are you also worthy of being Paz's warrior? You've become the watchdog of the rebels and thieves, and you dare to make a big deal here! Open the door early and surrender early to save you from death, otherwise when I enter the city, I will definitely kill a chicken and dog up and down this city! Dadaran scolded angrily.
Biludas laughed: "The old man wants to thank you, thanks to your words, my subordinates understand what you are!" In order to survive, they will fight you to the death! Let's not quarrel here, if you have the ability, you can fight with real knives and guns! ”
Dadaran was furious and immediately ordered the siege of the city. The 40,000 Paz soldiers then began an attack on Bandar Abbas.
Billiudas wanted to lead the enemy to attack, because the enemy must have been very tired from the two-day journey in only half a day and a night, and this was a good time to effectively kill and wound the enemy, and if they were allowed to rest for a day or two before attacking, then the situation might be different.
However, the attack of the Paz army was still very fierce, and these regular Paz troops who had experienced the civil strife in Sindra had become a hundred battle heroes under the tutelage of Dadaran, and their combat ability had greatly surpassed that of the Abbasid garrison, which had not been baptized by war for many years, not to mention the ragtag armies and improvised recruits. In the evening, the casualties on the side of Biljudas were more than 1,600, while the casualties of Dadaran's men were much smaller, and they almost climbed the walls several times.
At this time, someone came to report that the Paz army was attacking the north gate.
Give the dummy! Bilyudas's heart tightened, the east gate has his own personal command, and it is still so critical, if the north gate loses, it will be a total loss. (To be continued.) )
