Chapter 249: Bombardment of Dingxiang (3)
Li Junxian's artillery stopped, which relieved the Turks. After only three bombings, the walls were bombed off one-fifth of their height. If this had lasted for an hour, the walls would have ceased to exist. When the time comes, isn't it at the mercy of Li Junxian? However, now the period of the Turks has fallen to the bottom, and it is very low.
While Li Junxian was discussing the plan with the generals, the Turkic envoy came again.
"General Li, our Khan wants to have a dignified manly battle with you." The Turkic envoy said.
Li Junxian asked rhetorically: "Aren't I fighting?" ”
"General Li, it's very unfair that you rely on some mysterious weapons to bombard our Turkic warriors. We Turkic warriors don't have this kind of weapon, and you rely on this weapon to bully us, isn't this bullying? General Lee, you can send your army to attack the city in person, and we can all take it. If General Li relies on this weapon to attack us, it means that you, General Li, do not have the courage to fight our Turkic warriors head-on, and that you are just a coward. The Turkic envoy said.
The Turkic envoy wanted to ridicule Li Junxian, saying that he did not dare to prove war with the Turks, and this was the method of agitation. However, it is a pity that he did not meet a real general, but an old and cunning fellow. Li Junxian was not a real soldier in later generations, but a government functionary, and he was not afraid of this kind of agitation at all. If Li Junxian did not dare to prove war with the Turks, it was a fact. Li Junxian is also afraid of death, he went to the battlefield a few years ago, he was in the core of many armies, and then killed the enemy by archery. Li Junxian really killed the enemy at close range with his own hands, and there would be no more than three. What's more, Li Junxian also found that his martial arts had regressed more and more, and he was not enough to be a general. If he rushed to the front line in person, Li Junxian would be in big trouble there.
"You go back and tell the Khan of Jieli. Let's just say that I will not give up using this weapon. Whether you say I'm not a man, or say that I don't have a seed, I accept it. It's okay for you to scold me, I'm not afraid anyway, I've been prepared for a long time. Li Junxian said.
"Li Junxian, your little white face is a girl, not a general. If you have a kind of fight with us Turks, you are all cowards. ”
Li Junxian motioned to the guards at the door and immediately pulled the Turkic envoy out.
"Cowards, you Han people are all cowards! Coward. You Han people are cowards! The Turkic envoy was dragged out again and again, and he cursed loudly.
"Guys, I tell you, don't be fooled by those people's agitation. What about weapons? On the battlefield, we only need to remember one sentence, success and defeat. History is written by the victors, and as long as we win, our people will consider us heroes. If we fail, no matter how strong we are. But we were still scolded by the people because we could not protect them. Therefore, you should not be impulsive with a few scoldings, we will use any means to strike at the enemy. This is the essence of war. ”
"General Xie Li's teachings!"
"Prepare to keep firing!"
"Boom, boom, boom......" The flying thunder cannon sounded again.
"Ahhh......h
After an hour, the Flying Thunder Cannon entered the cooling phase again.
"General Li, now that half of the city wall has collapsed, can we attack the city?" Mulan asked.
"Not yet. We are going to bombard and collapse the entire wall, so that the Turks will probably not be able to hold on. ”
At this time, someone shouted: "General Li." A white flag was displayed inside Dingxiang City. ”
"White flags? Surrendered? Li Junxian thought secretly.
However, Li Junxian also thinks that this is reasonable. Because not everyone who encounters artillery for the first time can have the courage to face the battle directly, I am afraid that it is not surprising that there are people who surrender. Even Li Junxian himself asked himself, if he encountered this situation, I am afraid that he would have to retreat quickly, and he would not be able to defend it at all!
"Turkic envoys, are you khans going to surrender?" Li Junxian asked.
"General Li Junxian, it's not our Khan who surrendered, it's our General Kang Sumi who surrendered."
"Oh? What about the Khan? ”
"Our khan has retreated, not in Dingxiang City, everything is in charge of our General Kang Sumi."
Li Junxian secretly scolded this Jieli in his heart, and he actually ran faster than anyone else. However, Li Junxian didn't think that he would be able to make this Jieli surrender once, as a khan, how could he rule the entire grassland at these levels? Therefore, they hurriedly retreated and called their subordinates to meet the battle.
Soon, that Kang Sumi personally came out to Li Junxian's camp, and then knelt down to apologize.
"General Li, it's because the Khan doesn't know the strength of the general, and he insists on resisting, so there is the current result. Please General Li accept our surrender, we are willing to give General Li you as a cow and a horse. Kang Sumi said.
Li Junxian shook his head and said: "It's not for me to be a cow and a horse, you are all my Datang people from now on, and I am not qualified to let you be a cow and a horse!" ”
"Please General Li accept our surrender, we are willing to surrender!" Kang Sumi said.
"Your men must quickly lay down their weapons, let us test them, and if you dare to resist, then we will not show mercy!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Soon, the ruined gates of Dingxiang City were opened, and the Turkic soldiers came out, all of whom laid down their weapons one by one to show their obedience and surrender. Now that the Turks have been bombarded by this flying thunder cannon, they no longer dare to have the idea of resisting. Now, they have regarded Tang Jun as a god and dare not resist. Because only the gods can borrow this kind of powerful thunder, so that they can't resist.
"General Li, the empress of the Sui Dynasty, and the clan Yang Zhengdao are also in Dingxiang City, do you want to go and see?" Kang Sumi said.
"Oh? They weren't actually taken away by Jieli? Li Junxian asked.
"General Li, it's all this time, Jieli Khan, oh no, how can that old thing in Jieli still have the heart to take them away! Jieli just brought his cronies with him, and Princess Ashinayun left. Kang Sumi said.
It seems that this Kang Sumi has a deep resentment towards Jieli abandoning him here, because he has already become an outcast. The Turks did not have a tradition of being loyal to the emperor to death, they all obeyed the strong. Since Li Junxian is strong enough, what if they surrender to Li Junxian? Anyway, this is not a shame in Turkic culture. (To be continued......)
