Chapter 55: Massive Extortion
Doarik also followed Zemeng to the west city gate tower, and looked around, there were three neat phalanxes lined up outside the land of a stone's throw, in the middle were hundreds of heavy infantry under his previous command, and now they have become Qin Dong's soldiers, the left and right wings are two hundred archers, and there are more than a dozen horsemen standing in the front, and a large flag is set up in the middle, and the word "Qin" is written on the flag, and the one riding on the horse is Qin Dong wearing silver armor and holding a snow bright spear.
I saw Qin Dong instigating his war horses and began to gallop back and forth in front of the three phalanxes, and shouted loudly: "Warriors, brothers, we just arrived here, and we didn't expect Belgrade City to send us supplies, but they still sent things, it stands to reason that we should be grateful, but the things they sent are millet, wheat bran, and wheat stalks, which are for the cattle to eat, what do they mean?" Does it mean to call us animals? Do you send us like animals? The blood of the warriors can be drained, but it must not be insulted, and last night I sent a message to Zemon, the lord of Belgrade, and asked him to send two hundred sheep, 100,000 pounds of wheat, 1,000 pounds of salt, 5,000 feet of cloth, 10,000 pounds of pig iron, and 100,000 silver coins this morning, otherwise we will take it ourselves, and it is almost noon, and the old fellow has not made the slightest movement, obviously not taking my warriors seriously, brothers, what do you say? ”
"Kill into the city!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
For a while, these Hun cavalry were furious, and even the more than 300 infantry who had just taken over also roared, they were originally people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they liked to follow the coax the most, and now they played their true nature under the agitation of Qin Dong.
Zemon and Doarik had just climbed up the city gate building and saw this scene, Doarik had already seen Qin Dong's power, so he naturally knew it, while Zemeng was so frightened that his face turned pale, he didn't expect Qin Dong to come so quickly, didn't he say that he could send it over before noon? Why are you leading troops to besiege the city now?
The city keeper is Zemon's son Will, Ville is in his twenties, tall and strong, with a giant sword at his waist, and when he sees his father coming, Ville immediately greets him: "Father! The Huns outside the city are too arrogant, please let the child take three hundred iron horsemen out of the city and cut off his head for his father! ”
Zemeng was afraid that his son would be young and vigorous, and the Huns outside the city were arrogant, so he was worried that his son was not their opponent, so he immediately refused: "No, this Huns are in full swing, and you have no actual combat experience, so you are not their opponent!" ”
While the father and son were talking, Qin Dong had already stepped forward with a spear in his hand and shouted to the city wall: "Zemeng old horseman, I thought that you Skir people have been obedient to the Great Huns for many years, and I didn't go into the city to disturb last night, and I didn't expect you to have any entertainment, but you shouldn't insult me and my warriors, I asked you to prepare things and send them over this morning, and it's almost noon now, since you don't send them, then I have to pick them up myself, but now I have to double what I want, plus ten more blacksmiths, Ten tailors, ten bowsmiths, five hundred spears, and twenty thousand arrows, are to be delivered within an hour, and I can forgive you, or when the time comes, if I don't see anything, my army will begin to attack the city!" When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will not be left in the city! ”
Zemeng on the city tower shouted urgently: "General Qin, didn't you say last night that as long as it is delivered before noon?" It's not noon yet! ”
"Did I say before noon? I mean, in the morning, are you old old enough to use your ears? Of course, Qin Dong knew that he had said so, he meant to let Zemeng send it over in the morning, and then he could send the military salary, but because Zemeng did not send it on time, so he had no silver coins, so he could only give each soldier an extra month's military salary, that is, three gold coins, and five more silver coins, and this account naturally had to be returned to Zemeng, an old guy.
Zemeng was so anxious that he almost cried, "General Qin, you can't do this, I have prepared the supplies you said last night and are about to send them to you, but I didn't expect you to bring troops to the city, we Belgrade City has few villains, we really can't take out superfluous things, just the amount you said last night has also exhausted all our inventory, and now you want to double it, we really can't take it out!" General Doarik, you are familiar with General Qin, can you please help me say something kind? ”
"I can't help with this, are the Huns so easy to mess with?" Doarik said that he couldn't help, he stood aside and saw that Zemeng, the old guy, was reluctant to shed some blood at this time, he was really a dime a dime, how much Zemeng had and he knew it clearly, not to mention the things that Qin Dong requested, even if it was ten times more, Zemeng would not hurt his bones if he wanted to take it out, and he also wished that Qin Dong would blackmail this old miser fiercely, the more ruthless the blackmail, the better, the happier he was in his heart.
"Will, let the soldiers be on guard!" Seeing that Qin Dong refused to let go, Ze Meng had to think of another way, so he said a word to his son behind him, but there was no response behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Vir had disappeared.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound of the city gate opening under his feet, Zemon's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to the side of the parapet and looked down, only to see a group of cavalry running out of the city gate and running out of the city across the drawbridge, and the leader was his son Will.
It turned out that Vir was young and vigorous, and seeing Qin Dong insulting his father like this, it was difficult to get out of his heart, so he took advantage of Zemeng's lack of attention to sneak down the city wall and opened the city gate with the three hundred cavalry that had already been assembled to find Qin Dong to fight to the death.
Zemeng almost fell on the city wall when he saw this scene, but fortunately he was supported by a few guards and barely survived, he knew that it was too late to stop it at this time, and the only thing he could do was to hope that his son could defeat Qin Dong's soldiers and horses.
Qin Dong saw that the city gate suddenly opened, and a vote of people rushed out from inside, and the leader turned out to be a young general who was only a few years older than himself, he was immediately stunned, but then he smiled, and pointed a spear in his hand: "Who is coming, I Qin Dong will not kill the unknown people under the gun!" ”
After the three hundred cavalry rushed out of the city gate, the city gate was closed again, and Wei stopped dozens of meters in front of Qin Dong, and the three hundred cavalry behind him also stopped in five or six rows.
"Will, son of Zemon, lord of Belgrade! You little Hun barbarian is too much of a bully, I'm going to cut off your head today! ”
Qin Dong laughed: "Hahaha, Xiao Weil, you are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things, do you have the courage to fight with me alone?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Will is young, it is the time when his blood and qi are strong, where can he stand such a radical general, he immediately drew his broadsword and hit the horse and rushed towards Qin Dong.
The smile on Qin Dong's face became even stronger, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse neighed and rushed out, the two soon met, Weir slashed with a sword, Qin Dong's hand shook the broadsword with a shake of the gun, between the calcium carbide firelight, the head of the gun had been swept on Weir's chest, and Weir's whole person was knocked off the horse.
"Ahh
"Hiss-" The sound of the city wall exclaimed, and many soldiers gasped, and they were taken down after only one move? The morale of the defenders plummeted.
Zemon howled even more: "Will, my son! ”
At this time, the army behind Qin Dong was jubilant, morale was greatly boosted, and Weir, who had fallen off the horse, fell to a pulp, and when he woke up, he just got up, Qin Dong had already hit his horse and returned to his throat with a shot to make him unable to move, and then recruited several guards to tie up Weir and bring him back to his own formation.
The three hundred cavalry who followed Vir out of the city were panicked and depressed at this time, and there was no main general, how could this battle be fought?
Qin Dong raised his spear and shouted: "Roar, roar, roar"
Seeing his actions, his soldiers all shouted, and the sound was even deeper, and the Zemon and the defenders on the city wall were shocked one by one.
Qin Dong didn't plan to really attack the city, not to mention that he couldn't really fight, this is also the city of the Xiongnu Empire, although it is managed by foreigners, but after all, it is nominally his own family, if he really attacks the city, King Idika of Skill will definitely find him trouble, and the main combat power of his subordinates is the archers, there are no siege troops, and he can't carry out siege warfare at all, he just wants to scare and scare Zemeng, so that this old guy will obediently give some blood, now it's okay, Zemeng's son is in Qin Dong's hands, and Qin Dong also has a bargaining chip for extortion.
"Old man Zemeng, now that your son is in my hands, if I want to redeem your son, the number of things I need must be changed to five times, if it is not sent to the barracks before this evening, you can wait to collect your son's body!" After Qin Dong finished speaking, he turned around and pressed the horse's head and retreated with the army, coming and going as fast as he could.
