Chapter Seventy-Four: Resumption of Negotiations

As the night ended, the sun rose again, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger.

At dawn, several skirmishes broke out on and under the walls. Most of these clashes were caused by small groups of troops on both sides spontaneously attacking each other's defensive lines, and all ended in vain with the attackers throwing down a few corpses.

But behind this painless local friction is a tug-of-war around Gangga's command center. Although Gangga's army had taken several sections of the city the previous evening, King Heyu had not retreated to the safety of the city walls to take command.

King He Yu was not a person who was stupid enough to put himself in danger, and the reason why he did not retreat to the city wall was because the teleportation array of the Ganghe people was established in the place where the Gangga mission was stationed before. Therefore, King Heyu must not give up the teleportation array to the hands of the Kicher army, and the establishment of the command post in such a dangerous place is also to show his determination.

However, such a choice naturally led to a difficult battle situation, and King He Yu wanted to order the teleported Gangga army to infiltrate the city, striving to occupy more urban areas to expand the depth. However, Chipher's defense chief in the western region was obviously much more spicy than the newcomer of King Heyu, and as soon as Ganghe's army crossed two streets, he ran head-on into the Jinguan garrison that came to defend.

Originally, the defenders of Jinguan Castle were very annoyed when they were attacked by a sneak attack, but now they were naturally very angry when they encountered the enemy, and directly left behind the order issued by Sibi to surround and consolidate the defensive line, and fought with the Gangga army in front of them.

Fortunately, Sibi was determined to win the teleportation array that the Ganghe people might have, and sent enough troops to the mission station, so even if his subordinates were so chaotic, they still had the upper hand, and the Ganghe people on the opposite side ran back to the city that they had occupied behind them.

Of course, this kind of battle situation was also related to the fact that King He Yu did not pay enough attention to the attack in the direction of the city, and by the time he came to his senses, the entire Ganghe army had been squeezed into a small space three or four streets outside the mission station.

For Spie, the battle on the city wall can be stopped, but it is absolutely impossible to stop the attack on the Gangga command post, even if the situation of the black light is not suitable for the attacker's battle, the garrison of Jinguan Castle still sent elite troops to attack the defense line of the Gangga people many times.

Especially in the second half of the night, Li Junzhang, who was originally going to defend Hanse, returned to the garrison of Jinguan City, and the tug-of-war between attack and defense became more intense. In the darkness of the night, the weak defense line of the Ganghe people was broken through several times, almost allowing Li Zhuzhang to touch the vicinity of the teleportation array.

Fortunately, this time, King He Yu first arranged to transmit an elite Ganghe royal forbidden army, which was originally intended to be used as King Heyu's personal guard, but it was trapped in the battle with Li Zhangzhang overnight. Fortunately, this forbidden army quickly replenished the defense many times, which did not let Li Zhangzhang take advantage of the loophole.

Looking at the gradually rising sun, King He Yu finally sighed, and glanced at the teleportation array that was emitting light behind him with a complicated expression. Originally, he thought that he would be able to stun the Kitcheners on the first night of the battle, and then send an endless number of Gangga soldiers into the battlefield through the teleportation array.

It's a pity that Sibi, the old madman, never intended to stop the attack, and even if King He Yu sent more soldiers, he could only match the soldiers consumed. The night environment was not conducive to the Jinguan defenders to attack, but it was also not conducive to the defense of the unfamiliar Ganghe people, and every once in a while, the Kircher people emerged from the dark alleys and staged a scene of central flowering in the middle of the Ganghe people's defense line.

And as the sky brightened, the soldiers on both sides finally ushered in a short period of respite, and the two sides on the battlefield suddenly showed an amazing tacit understanding, and they all stopped fighting. But this rare tranquility is not really used to rest the soldiers, because they have a lot more to do.

For example, count the battle damage and count the occupied areas. For example, go out of the line to pick up a little thing.

At this moment, a Ganghe soldier stood up tremblingly from a small two-story building that was only half left, and before that, it was impossible to see from the outside that there was a person squatting there.

The soldier stretched out a hand to block the light coming in from outside, and then squinted and walked out. He took a closer look at the battlefield outside, and in front of him was a tragic and chaotic scene.

The middle of the street was littered with broken wood and stone, sandwiched between the debris of the buildings, and bits and pieces of flesh, with only a few barely recognizable parts of the human body.

The wood, the stone, all were dyed a terrible dark red, emitting a foul stench. However, this Ganghe soldier didn't care about so much, and rummaged through the ground without changing his face. If he encounters a complete limb, whether it is a hand or a leg, he will pick it up and scavenge it to see if there is anything of value.

After a while, the Ganghe soldiers scavenged more than a dozen silver-eared coins from the battlefield, and he patted the small cloth bag tied around his waist, and the coins collided with each other with a pleasant sound. The soldier smiled with satisfaction and was about to turn back into the line when he suddenly stopped.

The Gangga soldier seemed to notice something, and walked up slowly. Soon, his footsteps stopped in front of a blurred mass of flesh that had been beaten, and on this mass of flesh that had been beaten by some unknown magic, there was a little red light.

Originally, such a similar color was not easy to notice, but this soldier was a veteran of the battlefield gold digger, and he could see the strangeness here at a glance. This is probably a good thing, he judged it so, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he directly reached over.

His fingertips poked at the piece of flesh, and there was a soft and sticky feeling, and he didn't hesitate, and with a little force, his hand touched the unknown red crystal.

The soldier withdrew his hand with some confusion and looked at the enigmatic object in his hand. It is a palm-sized red crystal shaped like a pebble, which does not look like the texture of a gemstone, but it always exudes the smell of destruction.

In the next second, the spar suddenly glowed red, and the Ganghe soldiers were suddenly startled when they saw this, and instinctively wanted to throw this spar out. However, his reaction was a step slower after all, and with a thunderous explosion, the soldier's upper body turned into a flying mass of flesh in the fierce light and heat, and when it fell to the ground, it was mixed with the original debris, and it was no longer possible to distinguish which piece belonged to him.

Such a huge noise naturally alarmed the soldiers on both sides, and countless figures immediately stood up from the ruins on both sides, but when they saw the shaky lower half of the corpse of the unlucky guy on the field, they all just breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their heads and continued to do what they were doing.

This is not uncommon, and it is not only treasure that is hidden in the countless fragments of corpses, but also some dangerous items, such as explosives that the original owner intends to use to destroy the opponent's defenses.

Of course, not all soldiers paid attention to Taobao, and many more troops were now under the command of officers dragging everything in the center of the battlefield that could act as an obstacle into the defensive line. Entire fallen walls, surviving wooden beams, and even the corpses of the fallen soldiers, everything that could be used filled into the gaps in the defensive line.

At this time, King He Yu was walking back and forth in the camp tent like a headless fly, and in front of him, Yin Jianren, who was in an embarrassed form, knelt on the ground with an embarrassed face.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, forgive your subordinates for being incompetent and not completing the task assigned to me by Your Highness." Yin Jianren saw He Yuwang's appearance, so he took the initiative to speak.

Unexpectedly, King He Yu stopped and glanced at Yin Jianren, waved his hand and said, "Okay, General Yin doesn't have to blame himself, and he doesn't have to say such things in front of me. Instead of whispering to me here, it is better to think about how to correct the names of everyone in the legion, after all, after General Wan died in battle, many people are waiting to see the jokes of you people, waiting to receive the remnants of the Third Army. ”

After He Yu Wang finished speaking, he took two more steps, and then stopped again and said to Yin Jianren: "General Yin, get up, now is not the time to hold us accountable, the top priority is to reverse our current battle situation." I was still too arrogant before, and I underestimated the strength of this old thing.

I thought that the people who were sent to such a place by the Kitchers would definitely not be some strong generals. Coupled with the fact that there has been no war between our two countries for decades, the defenders here should be all wine bags and rice bags. Unexpectedly, when we entered the city, this old thing deliberately used those veteran oils to fool me, which made me make the wrong judgment that I could start the battle. ”

Just when King He Yu sighed a little, someone suddenly opened the curtain and walked in from outside, King He Yu calmed down and took a look, only then did he notice that it was Ganghe's new national teacher Dai Scholar.

"Why should His Royal Highness the Prince sigh and even say now that our plan is wrong. In my opinion, the current situation is only a minor setback, and if His Royal Highness feels that he is unable to do so, he may wish to try to contact the Kicher people again and try to renegotiate. Of course, whether this time is a real negotiation or a fake negotiation is up to His Highness to decide. ”

King He Yu's eyelids moved, and he asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what the national teacher said about the real negotiation, and what is the fake negotiation?" ”

Dai Xue laughed twice and explained: "True negotiation is to point to the stakes, after all, we have a precedent of General Yin's surprise attack on the Western Army Demon, and Sibi probably doesn't dare to guarantee that there will be no Ganghe army suddenly appear in the downtown area." We are now fighting on the territory of the Gicher people, which is indeed not good for the war, but it has added a bargaining chip to our hands, and as long as the people of this city are used as hostages, he will not dare to embarrass us casually. ”

Yin Jianren, who had already stood up from the ground, heard Dai Xue's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Then the fake negotiation is to threaten the Kitchers with our teleportation magic, delay the time and wait for more troops to teleport out, right?" ”

Dai shook his head and replied, "No, this can't slow down the pace of the Kitcheners at all. Sibi is not a fool either, and he will be prepared for negotiations whether we are true or not. After all, there is still a limit to our teleportation magic, not to mention the number of people and distance, and the consumption of each teleportation alone is not a small amount.

I had already heard when I came here that Sibi had already arranged all the students of the Western Army Demon into the army. These student armies can't fight head-on, but in the end, they will expand the number of troops under him, and then send soldiers out I am afraid that it will be a sheep's mouth, and it will be difficult to have a miraculous effect.

The fake negotiation I am talking about is also simple, as long as the matter of the Kitcher Temple and us is secretly spread, and then the matter is confirmed at the negotiation table, the Kitchers will naturally be confused, and whether to fight or make peace is only a matter of His Highness's thoughts. ”

King He Yu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it, just listen to the words of the national teacher and negotiate first." ”
