Chapter 882: Medium Scheme
Harry led the army and marched all the way to the city of Poppy. But what Harry didn't expect was that at this moment, the four gates of the poppy city opened, and he didn't even see a single Dongyu soldier except for the Dongyu military flag at the head of the city that was still fluttering in the wind.
"What's going on? Edlaide?" Harry said as he turned his head to look at his intelligence officer, puzzled.
"I think we've fled! Our men have just returned to report that the city is now empty. It seems that they left in a hurry, not only is the city in chaos, but they also have not had time to take our food, grass and baggage with them!"
"Marshal, Edlaide, the god of the Eastern Universe, has been scared away by you!" the intelligence officer looked at Harry, his eyes filled with excitement.
"How so?" Harry's heart was filled with uneasiness at this moment, unlike the intelligence officer's feelings, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Knock knock!" Boom knock knock out of drums around them, and a sturdy cavalry appeared in Harry's field of vision.
"Bang!" A black sword rain fell from the sky, and the Ziqing soldiers, who didn't have time to react, fell one after another in such a sword rain.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Report: A large number of Dongyu cavalry have been found in the north!"
"Report: A large number of Dongyu cavalry have been found in the west!"
"Report: A large number of Dongyu cavalry have been found in the east!"
"Marshal, marshal, what's the matter?" Hearing the scout's successive reports, the intelligence officer panicked first.
"What else could it be! We've been fooled!"
"What should we do next, Marshal?"
"Since the grain, grass and baggage are there, let's go into the city first, let's go into the city!" Harry knew that it was not a good idea to go into the city. But in such a chaotic situation, he didn't have time to think about it. had to lead the army into the city of Poppy.
"Close the door, close the door!" The intelligence officer feared that the Dongyu cavalry would follow into the city, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to close the four gates. And even so, he still didn't feel at ease. He also ordered the soldiers to block the four gates with debris.
In fact, the intelligence officer's worries were a little unnecessary, and the Dongyu cavalry just drove Harry and them into Poppy City and withdrew to the side. Instead, Dongyu's baggage troops, they quickly used the antlers and other things that had been prepared long ago to besiege the poppy city!
Watching the baggage troops withdraw, Li Zijun knocked the stirrup lightly and slowly came to the front of Dongyu's army.
"Let Harry come out and talk to me!" The battlefield was chaotic, but Li Zijun's voice still reached the ears of every soldier on both sides.
"I'm Ziqing Harry, dare to ask who your Excellency is?" He climbed to the top of the city and walked into Li Zijun's sight.
"I, Dongwoo Edlaide?Lee!"
"No wonder! The prince is really a good method!" After a cold snort, Harry looked at Li Zijun and said disdainfully.
If it weren't for the fact that the general led the army to invade our land and ignore our people for no reason, I would prefer to have a good time with the general than to meet each other like now!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I've done everything I should have done and shouldn't do, I want to see if you can bear me today?"
"The general is full of confidence, he won't think that I really left you with all the grain, grass and baggage in the city, right?! That's just some sand and gravel and withered grass, and you want to rely on them to resist stubbornly, unless the general has a stomach stronger than a cow or a horse!"
"In addition," Li Zijun waved his hand behind him, and more than a dozen hot air balloons slowly flew into the air.
"Harry. Do you see this thing? There is all fire oil hanging under them, and as long as I give an order, the poppy city will turn into a sea of fire in an instant!"
"There's one more thing I want to remind you about. All the wells in the city have been filled by my order, and now they are drinking water or fighting fires. It's all up to you!" said this, Li Zijun waved his hand again. The hot air balloon slowly floated towards Poppy.
"Marshal, what he said is the matter, the grain and grass are fake, the baggage has been destroyed, and the well" Under Harry's fierce gaze, the intelligence officer opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Wait, I'm willing to surrender, but you're going to give me half a day!" Harry said as he turned to stop him.
"General, stop having illusions! I'll give you another hour at most, and in an hour, if I don't see you walking out of the city, I'll set it on fire!"
"Marshal, what shall we do next?"
"Poof!" the intelligence officer could finish before Harry spurted a mouthful of blood into the city.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
"I'm fine! help me down the city!" Harry waved his hand and let the generals help him down the tower.
"There's no need to look for any particular place, we're just here, just a few words. Walking down the town, Harry's face softened a little, and he came to a leeward place and sat down.
"In an hour, we're out of town and surrendering!" Harry said his decision as he adjusted his breathing, his eyes darkened.
"Marshal, no! I have just taken a look at the situation around us, and on the face of it, we have indeed fallen into an encirclement, but if you count them carefully, they are not much more powerful than us, and most likely even inferior to us. As long as we concentrate our forces on one point, I don't believe we will be able to break through a gap!
"It's useless! Don't look at Dongyu's surface strength seems to be inferior to ours, but I'm sure you've all seen it, Edlaide has made full preparations in this matter, and his defense line is extremely strong!"
"In addition, he can't give us a chance to form outside the city, and this also means that our superiority in strength will not be reflected at all in the early stage of the battle!"
"As soon as they block our first attack, their cavalry, baggage troops, and those big balls in the sky will immediately rush to reinforcements. Next, all that awaits us is to lead the neck and wait to be killed!"
"Then what if we break through by different routes?" said another general reluctantly.
"Do you think we might be able to hide our movements from those big balls in the sky?!" Harry shook his head with a wry smile.
"Forget it, everything today is my fault alone, and it has nothing to do with you! I will bear any punishment in the future! Go and give the order, and in an hour, we will go out of the city and surrender!" Harry sighed and waved his hand weakly to the generals.
There were still a few generals who had to hold out, but in the end, they all returned to their respective units under the persuasion of the intelligence officer.
"I used to just hear about how powerful Edlaide is, but today I've really seen it! I think I'm nearly a million strong, just a few faces, just, hey!" After the generals left, Harry looked at the intelligence officer and let out a sigh.
"Marshal, it's all my inaccurate information!"
"It has nothing to do with you! In the final analysis, we can't do anything about it! Taking the initiative to attack the Dongyu Empire with our strength is tantamount to killing ourselves and resenting no one!"
"Marshal, be quiet!" the intelligence officer hurriedly reminded him in a low voice as he heard Harry's 'wild words'.
"Quiet, do I need to be quiet now?" Harry smiled again, but he laughed more than he cried.
"First Edlaide, then the Dongyu Forbidden Army, they all appeared here so quickly, you don't think it's just a coincidence, right?"
"What do you mean, Marshal?" Hearing this, the intelligence officer's face also changed.
"What do you mean? Isn't this already obvious, people have long realized that we are going to do something to others, and the reason why people pretend not to know is just waiting for us to take the initiative to give them a reason to 'invade us'!"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous, I didn't figure it out until this point!poof!" Harry vomited blood again and fainted in front of the intelligence officer.
"How so, how can this be?" the intelligence officer's eyes completely lost focus, and he took two steps back and fell heavily to the ground.
An hour later, the Ziqing generals carried Harry out of the poppy city, and then the nearly 600,000 Ziqing soldiers in the city also laid down their weapons and became Li Zijun's prisoners!
Li Zijun immediately announced the order to treat the captives well, and properly arranged the Ziqing generals one by one.
The Ziqing generals, who were still a little worried about their own safety, finally let go of the big stone in their hearts when they saw this, and many of them even took the initiative to cooperate with Dongyu's surrender.
It was precisely because of their cooperation that Li Zijun's surrender work went very smoothly, and almost all of them had dinner when it was dark!
Of course, this is only 'almost', Li Zijun and Monkey and others are still shuttling between various prisoner of war camps. Li Zijun wants to make sure that every prisoner of war will have this hot dinner before him!
Finally, Li Zijun arrived at the room he had prepared for Harry.
"Sir, how is General Harry's injuries?" Li Zijun asked in a low voice, holding the doctor who was about to give him a salute.
"Back to the prince: General Harry is just in a hurry, it's not a big deal, it stands to reason that as long as he has a good rest for a while, he should be able to recover!"
"Just what?"
"It's just that he didn't enter the water after waking up, just sitting there in a daze, I'm worried that continuing like this may not be conducive to his recovery!"
"Well, I see! I'm a little hungry when I walk here, sir, do you have any extra food here?"
"Yes, yes!" the doctor turned to leave.
"Sir, wait a minute, please give me General Harry's share, and I'll go in and eat with him!"
"That's not good, is it?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, I can just take advantage of this free time to enlighten him, killing two birds with one stone!"
Hearing Li Zijun say this, the doctor didn't say anything more, and personally went to the kitchen to get two meals and handed them to Li Zijun. (To be continued.) )
