He Lingchuan closed his eyes and bowed his head silently.

This is not the first comrade-in-arms he sent away, and certainly not the last.

They all spilled their blood on a foreign land.

......

After the sweep in this area, all the members of the Broken Knife Team were injured, but the degree was different.

Because He Lingchuan took the lead, he was in distress the most, and was almost knocked out of the dream twice by direct KO.

The cost was a hole in the ribs and a cut off right ear. In comparison, other skin injuries are not worth mentioning.

When Arlo stitched his ears, he hiccuped in pain.

"What's it called!" Arlo's face was dark, and he also had strips of cloth wrapped around his head, "Such a big dark room can also rush into it casually?"

"Didn't I want to make a feint for you?" He Lingchuan grinned, knowing that he was much more courageous in the Soul Land than in reality, and the scale of his shot was larger, "Shi Tuofen, give me some pain relief!"

Even in the Dafang Pot, every battle is a rare opportunity for trial, and he has to explore his own fighting style and rhythm.

If you are not brave here, when will you wait?

"You can't use it much, it's addictive." Ah Luo glanced at him, "You've used it too much lately, just bear it if you can, and it's not a broken hand or a broken leg."

Fortunately, this kind of clearing battle quickly became sporadic and sporadic in the afternoon of the fifth day, the Panlong army basically controlled the entire Xiqi capital.

If General Red uses the method of sitting together to kill, the speed will be much faster.

This is also a common method used in many siege warfare, but defeats the popularity of the people.

In the middle, the Xiqi Palace sent troops out of the city several times, and wanted to cooperate with these scattered armies, but they were all repelled by the Gale Army who was waiting outside the palace.

After several battle losses, the Xiqi Palace did not dare to fight without permission, but closed its doors.

After all, each time the damage is as few as a few hundred, and at most more than one or two hundred, but they can't break through, and the cost is a bit high.

In the middle of Huyanzhao's life, Xiqi Palace City was besieged for ten days.

The reinforcements he repeatedly proclaimed to his subjects did not even see a shadow.

And the territorial promise given to him by the Red General was also reduced by a third compared with before.

Hu Yanzhao was distraught.

The city of Yan was full of grain, and there were wells all over the place, especially the grain storage was prepared according to the specifications of 3,000 men who held out for 40 days. When the old man of his family built according to this rule, there were still a bunch of courtiers who objected, saying that it was too wasteful.

Now it seems that the old man is wise.

However, no matter how wise the old man is, he can't resist the 13,000 cadres squeezed in now, more than four times as many as he is.

The more people there are, the more you eat.

So many people are crowded in the city and can't get out, and they have to eat and drink fat all day long, and Hu Yanzhao's heart is dripping blood.

Worst of all, there is a severe shortage of medicines.

There were more than 4,000 wounded in Miyagi, more than 900 seriously wounded, and 2,300 people died a few days ago because of insufficient medicine or improper rescue.

The palace was full of complaints and low morale.

Moreover, there is another terrible trouble that the old monarch did not expect:

The defecation of humans and animals.

More than 13,000 people, two more than one war horse, together is a manure machine with full horsepower.

In the past, Miyagi had a special night incense team, which had to be transported outside the city every day, but now it can't get out.

Hu Yanzhao asked the soldiers to throw the feces down the city gate and throw them at the Panlong army.

But after being shot a dozen people, the soldiers were no longer willing to do so.

Risking your life to dump feces is too worthless, not to mention the process of collecting, it is better to find a random corner in Miyagi......

Therefore, the smell of blood wafted everywhere in the court, and there were mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, accompanying the Xiqi people all the way down to their state of mind.

Now He Lingchuan is sitting on the roof of a private house with Wicker, Hu Min and others, eating chicken while looking at the palace not far away.

"The lights on the gates are out." Hu Min laughed, "It seems that they even have oil lamps

It's all starting to save money."

The Broken Knife Squad performed well in the Dragon Throat Pass mission, and in addition to the normal military merit rewards, He Lingchuan also got two roast chickens a day from the quartermaster to his teammates. Tonight, when there is nothing to do, everyone gathers together to eat a whole chicken feast and replace wine with water.

The door panel smiled: "As soon as the wind direction changes, the stench in Miyagi will drift outward, and no one will want to approach. I don't know how the Xiqi people can sleep with dung on their pillows day by day?"

Wicker stretched out his finger and pinched his waist: "What about eating, why are you talking about such a disgusting topic!"

Hu Min also said: "I heard that there have been deserters in the palace city in the past few days, some were shot dead on the spot, and a few successfully slipped over and surrendered. The red general asked them to sit in front of the palace gate to eat meat and drink wine to show the people in the city. One sat too close and ate too much, and was shot to death."

Wicker asked him, "You have been with the Gale Army for the longest time, and have you fought siege battles for so long before?"

"Ah, there are long and short. Hu Min thought for a while, "The longest time, we besieged the city for more than forty days before it was defeated."

Wicker let out an "oh" and asked no more.

He Lingchuan nibbled on the chicken thigh. He was the only one here who had attended the pre-war meeting of the Gange Hall, so he basically knew what General Red was up to.

"The old monarch of Xiqi used the income of the capital for several years to build the palace city like an iron barrel, which was really easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is said that there are more than a dozen defensive talisman arrays." He explained to his men, "If you really want to take it down, I'm afraid you'll have to pile it up with human lives. Therefore, the red general wanted to replace the siege with a siege, in exchange for victory at the minimum cost. 「

Is that all? General Hong and Zhong Shengguang are not in a hurry, and there are obviously more considerations.

And He Lingchuan also has his own questions:

This sneak attack on Xiqi Kingdom, why didn't General Red come out with three corpse worms?

He heard Hu Min talk about the experience of retaking Weicheng last time, and the Baling army guarding the gate suddenly went crazy and counterattacked his own people, obviously the three corpse insects were powerful.

But this raid mission is heavier than the recapture of Weicheng, why is there no trace of the three corpse insects on the battlefield?

This thing is not afraid of Yuan Li, and is not even affected by ordinary practices, and is one of the killer features of the Red General.

Why did she still use stupid methods and slow methods to besiege and make a forced landing on Huyan Zhaojunchen?

He Lingchuan had a strange idea:

Is it not needed?

Once upon a time, he asked Sun Fuping a question:

Since the Panlong Army blessed by the Great Fang Pot is so powerful, why don't you go all the way back to Xiluo Kingdom, but instead sit in the Panlong Wasteland?

Sun Fuping didn't have an answer either.

On the contrary, it was the black Jiao in the illusion of the dragon ruins that gave them a sentence:

You can't take it with you. The big square pot is Panlong City, and Panlong City is also a big square pot, which has long been connected as one. Don't talk about human beings, gods can't take them away.

And the Xiqi Kingdom has already left the range of the Panlong Wasteland, is it because it is beyond the service area, so the three corpse insects that came out of the Dafang pot can't be brought here?

If General Hong and Zhong Shengguang can't take the Dafang pot with them, then this trip to Xiqian ......

Thinking about the negotiation between General Hong and Hu Yanzhao in the past few days, he always gave He Lingchuan a strange sense of disobedience. She has always been decisive in killing, when will she give people so many chances?

He Lingchuan frowned.

Another five days passed.

The Panlong army did not waste time, and had already allocated several troops to occupy the entire territory of Xiqi to reduce the pressure of fighting in the capital.

During this period, more and more Xiqian soldiers escaped from the royal palace in the capital, and they were willing to flee at the risk of being shot by the Overseers, because the food in the palace was long running out, and because of low morale and declining Yuan power, the epidemic began to spread within the tall palace walls.

Originally, there was a shortage of medicine in the city, but now it is even worse. Even if ordinary soldiers are infected with the epidemic, they will not have a chance to be treated at all.

It's better to risk death and escape, and there is still a glimmer of life.

After another five days, even Hu Yanzhao himself was a little confused.

The eyes cast by the soldier were completely different from those twenty days ago, if it weren't for the fact that some henchmen were still protecting him, it would be early in Miyagi

mutiny.

Suddenly, a horse rushed to the city and shouted, "Huyan Xiao'er come out quickly, your reinforcements are coming!"

The guards guarding the city looked down one by one, but saw a big man galloping back and forth under the city, with a spear in his hand, carrying a string of unkempt human heads, at least five or six of them, and his hair was knotted in one place.

This big man is General Nan Ke.

He shouted seven or eight times, and all of them shouted until he was impatient, and the pale-faced Hu Yanzhao climbed to the city gate tower, looked down, and suddenly felt dizzy:

The string of human heads hanging on General Nanke's gun is the general of the Nanping defenders, from top to bottom, the order is correct.

He has been cheering everyone up in the city, and sooner or later reinforcements will come.

Now reinforcements did come, but not in the way they had hoped.

"When there was a sound on the ground, a long knife in the hand of a hill fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

Nobody paid any attention to him.

General Nan Ke looked at Hu Yanzhao and said with a smile: "Our Red General gives you one last chance, you surrender now, and you can still claim the title of marquis south of the Lugua River. Otherwise———— "He raised his spear again, "next year today will be the day of sacrifice for all of you!"

Lugua River? Hu Yanzhao's lips trembled a few times.

Now the territory promised to him by the Red General is less than a quarter of the initial amount.

I knew it was so, I knew it was so......

General Nan Ke said again: "By the way, since Huyan Zhao is stubborn, who of you in the city can take off his head and offer it, and give him a reward!"

There was a gasp in the city.

Cutting off Hu Yanzhao's head, not only does he not have to continue to be trapped in the city, he does not have to continue to starve, he does not have to sleep on the edge of the dung heap, but he can also go to the south of the Lugua River to be a marquis of Wanhu who stretches out his hand to eat and open his mouth?

Even a few of Hu Yanzhao's cronies looked at the master's eyes flickering.

It's really too sad in the city these days, and the new monarch has no means to properly solve it.

Hu Yanzhao only felt that everyone's gaze on him was full of malice, like a wolf staring at a sheep, like a cat looking at a fish......

It is like a living man looking at a dead man.

If he reacts slowly, maybe this group of people will tear him alive in the next second.

"Wait...... Hu Yanzhao saw someone in the back row raising a spear and facing him, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly shouted, "I surrender, I surrender!"

He was the first to shout "surrender" and he was safe.

General Nan Ke was overjoyed: "Then what are you waiting for, open the city gate!"
