Will is not a vicious person after all, he still has some conscience, and his favor of reporting to the Wind Army could have brought him more benefits and benefits, but now he is willing to exchange it for his nephew's life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing his words, Meng Qiuchen was also somewhat surprised, glanced at Will meaningfully, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Lord Duke is here to ask for favors, our Feng Army will not turn around and deny it, leaving Ian's life, this is the final bottom line of our side, as for how your country should punish Ian, that is your country's business, I won't ask more, but if the final result is not satisfactory to our army, then we can only meet on the battlefield." ”
Will's mood that had just eased up immediately became nervous again, and it sounded like the wind man still didn't plan to let Ian go!
But after thinking about it, at least Meng Qiuchen has already said that he can leave Ian's life, just based on Ian's actions, presumably this is already the maximum concession of the wind man, and the wind man still gives him enough face!
Will thanked Meng Qiuchen for his kindness, and after leaving the wind camp, he hurried back to Goro City.
Although he didn't see Shangguan Xiu on this trip, he brought back an exciting good news, Fengren has made concessions and can not hurt Ian's life, but to what extent Ian will be punished, Fengren did not directly explain, but just let the Besa people watch and do it themselves.
Peter was naturally grateful for Will's dedication, and the ministers of Besa had to be impressed by Will, unexpectedly that this duke, who had always been timid and incompetent, could be so open to the wind man, not only was he not rejected by others, but also successfully persuaded the wind man to make such a big concession. The latest chapter of héiyāпgê has been updated
It's just that on the question of how to punish Ian, Peter began to hesitate again, and the punishment was heavy, and he felt that maybe there was no need for that, after all, the wind man had begun to give in, and if the punishment was light, he was worried that the wind man would not give up and become more serious.
In the end, Peter made a decision to punish Ian with a one-year ban, and the title was reduced by one level, from the original duke to the marquis.
Such a punishment is already an extremely heavy punishment for a prince. On the same day, Peter also specially arranged personnel to inform the wind army outside the city of his decision to punish Ian.
Peter thought that this was the end of the matter, but the next day, as soon as it was dawn, the city of Goro was fried, and the wind army poured out, and the mighty army approached the city, and formed an attack less than two miles outside the city.
The artillery of the Wind Country, as well as the captured artillery of the Kingdom of Besa, were pushed in front of the two armies by the Wind Army, and the muzzle of the guns was always aimed at the city of Goro.
These artillery, added together, there are nearly a thousand guns, and from a distance, the artillery of the Wind Army is lined up from the north side of the camp to the south side of the camp, and there is no edge in sight.
The artillery units were battalion units, and the battalion lieutenants stood in the artillery positions, holding high the command flags in their hands one by one, raising their eyes to the rear and looking at the main formation, just waiting for the commander's order. The artillerymen were holding torches aloft, ready to light the fuses, while others were carrying shells and gunpowder.
It was Meng Qiuchen who was now in charge of the Chinese army, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and felt that the people in Goluo City were almost up now, he picked up the handsome flag in his arms, and waved it forward lightly.
As he waved his flag, the herald next to him immediately lit the letter cannon.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the letter cannon shot into the sky, and then there was a loud bang in the air. After receiving the order to attack in the rear, the battalion commanders in the artillery positions waved the command flag held high one after another, shouting loudly: "Release!"
The voices of the battalion commanders came and went. The wind soldiers, who had already been prepared and were ready to attack, lit the fuses of the cannons with torches.
Hiss, one by one, the leads burned, and after burning to the end, there was silence for a moment, and suddenly a series of loud rumbling sounds were heard.
For a while, the artillery position was filled with gunsmoke, and the flames that erupted from the artillery fire were connected into a long fire dragon.
Look at the outside of the city of Goro, there are flowers everywhere, and the continuous explosions and roars shake the ground.
The Besa army on the city wall could no longer stand up now, and one by one they were lying on the head of the city with their heads in their hands, their faces were pale, and they screamed again and again, but at the scene, their screams could not be heard at all, and the ear chakras were filled with deafening explosions.
In the wind camp, the guns of the first row finished firing, and the guns of the second row immediately opened fire in unison, and then the salvo of the third row of guns. The ferocity of the wind army's artillery bombardment can only make the heavens and the earth change color, and the sun and moon have no light to describe.
What's even worse is that the artillery bombardment of the wind army at this time was only deterrent, and did not really attack the city defense of Goro City, but set the target outside the city wall.
With so many pieces of artillery, if they were all aimed at the city walls, I was afraid that it would not take a few rounds of artillery bombardment to blow up the walls of Goro City.
The large-scale artillery bombardment of the wind army caused chaos in the city of Goro, and the streets and alleys were full of panicked and panicked people fleeing in a hurry, as well as groups of soldiers with earth-colored faces.
Obviously peace has been negotiated, and the two countries have obviously signed a peace treaty, but the war still befell the head of Goro City, all because of Prince Ian's assassination of Shangguan Xiu.
No one wants to fight this battle anymore, no one wants to pay for the prince's stupid and immoral behavior, and fight with the wind people. Since the war started because of Ian, it was time for him to step up and take full responsibility.
A large number of Bessa's troops defending the city were defeated without a fight and retreated to the square outside the palace. In fact, the Feng army did not carry out a substantial siege of the city, and the two sides did not start a confrontation with Mai Mang, but standing on the city wall, just looking at the bombed land outside, people have lost the desire to fight, and do not want to stay on the city wall and wait for death.
The news of the attack by the Wind Army naturally alarmed King Peter in the palace. Afraid of something, he was worried that his punishment of Ian would make Fengren dissatisfied, but when he sent a message to Fengren yesterday, Fengren did not express any objections, thinking that Fengren had accepted it, which Cheng thought, the next morning, Fengren attacked and killed.
Without leaving the palace, without going to the front to watch the battle, just listening to the sound of shelling outside the city, Peter could guess how angry the wind army was and how fierce the attack was. I'm afraid that at this time, the city defense of Goro City has turned into a sea of fire.
Peter was just about to send someone to inquire about the situation on the battlefield ahead, when Savron hurriedly walked in from outside, and when Peter approached, he didn't even care about the etiquette of bowing, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the wind army is now out of force, and it is outside the west city, preparing for a large-scale attack, and the soldiers defending the city ......"
"What happened to the soldiers defending the city?"
Most of the soldiers defending the city had abandoned the city defenses and retreated to the square outside the palace to meditate. ”
"What?" Peter couldn't believe his ears. Before the wind army could fight, the soldiers defending the city were defeated and retreated outside the palace?
Peter was stunned for a long time, then swallowed with difficulty and stammered, "This...... This ......"
"The two countries have negotiated peace, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting again, and it is the ...... that has attracted the wind army to attack in a big way It's Prince Ian, the soldiers are complaining, since Prince Ian dares to assassinate Shangguan Xiu, he should dare to stand up and bear everything, and he shouldn't let the soldiers fight the Feng Army for his fault!"
After hearing this, Peter sat back on his throne as if he had been drained of his strength, and his whole person looked more and more old.
Sa Fulong glanced at him deeply, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to appease the prince, if Your Majesty still blindly covers up, I am afraid, I am afraid that it will lead to a defection in front of the army!"
The combat power of the wind army is terrifying enough, and if there is another situation where the army defects, the city of Goro will be completely lost, and the dominance of the city-state of Besa in the country of Besa will also be completely lost.
Peter was now out of ideas, and looked at Savoron blankly, and asked, "Count Afleck, do you think I should do this now?"
"No, the wind man has already said that he can leave Prince Ian's life, in this case, His Majesty does not have to kill Prince Ian, but the punishment of Prince Ian needs to be ...... It needs to be more severe. ”
"Aggravated?"
"Deprive the prince of his name, deprive His Royal Highness of his title, and degrade him to a commoner, so that the hatred in the hearts of the Feng people can be dissipated and the Feng army satisfied. "Such a punishment is even more severe than killing Ian directly. There is nothing more humiliating to reduce a prince to a cloth.
Safron secretly smiled bitterly, Will sent the Wind Army, which seemed to be quite effective, and successfully saved Ian's life, but in fact, the Wind Man thought of a more cruel method, and now Ian has become the target of the Besa people, the people complain and hate him, and the soldiers in the army are dissatisfied with him and accuse him, and the prince's reputation has long been discredited, and now, even the king can't keep him.
Peter looked at Savron, his eyes intent, and muttered, "Is it really going to be like this?"
"At least, this should be what the people of the wind are happy to see! Your Majesty can't protect Prince Ian now, if you repeatedly protect him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will even be unstable on his own throne. "He's putting it mildly, Ian is a big burden now, and he can drag Peter off the throne.
"I, got it. Peter's waist slowly slumped, and the whole person looked unusually old. As the king of a country, he can't even keep his son, and the sadness can be imagined.
He closed his eyes and said in a weak voice, "Count Avleck, just ...... Do as you wish!Strip Ian of all titles and titles, and reduce him to ...... Civilians!"
Peter's order was quickly conveyed, and not long after, the west gate of the city of Goro opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and a cavalryman with a white flag ran out of it.
Seeing this, the opposite wind army camp stopped shelling, and the cavalry held the king's hand high, and went straight to the opposite wind army camp to urge the horse to run over.
It didn't take long for King Peter's edict to reach Meng Qiuchen's hand, and he glanced at it, it was all in Besa script that he couldn't understand, and handed it to the translator standing aside.
After the translator read the king's edict from beginning to end, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a brisk smile: "Strategist, now our army can withdraw its troops. ”
