Chapter 880: Inside and Outside the City
"How is this possible? I came back here after the night patrol, and I never gave them any orders for a meeting!"
"Wait, wait, I think I'm mistaken! Yes, someone gave you the order on your behalf! Monkey, let's do it for the general again!"
"You go and invite all the generals in the city here, I have something particularly important to tell them!"
There was another voice behind Li Zijun, and to Yuan Xiu's great surprise, this voice was the same as him!
"There seems to be a slight difference, but anyway, your orderlies don't hear it. At this moment, all your generals have rushed to the front council hall, and they are waiting for you to give you a face-to-face lecture!"
"You!"
"I don't matter, what matters is what you want them to do? I'll tell you the truth, my army has entered the city. Speaking of this, Li Zijun looked up at the window:
"It's up to you to decide whether we surrender or slaughter!"
"Why should I believe you?"
"You come with me!" Li Zijun patted Yuan Xiu's shoulder, turned around and pushed open the door and walked out.
Yuan Xiu was slightly stunned, and then found that his body was full of strength again, he hesitated slightly, and followed Li Zijun to the courtyard.
"Monkey!" Li Zijun didn't look back, and waved his hand gently.
Yuan Xiu saw that the person who had just imitated himself took out his bow and arrow and shot a rocket into the air.
"Squeak quack!" Yuan Xiu thought that the first thing he heard would be the sound of shouting and killing, but what he didn't expect was that the first thing that came to his ears was the sound of the city gate being opened.
"Da Da Da!" A hurried sound of horses' hooves completely shattered the silence of the poppy city.
"General Yuan Xiu, you said that your Marshal Harry found out that you had been attacked. Will he send troops to rescue you?"
"Definitely!" Yuan Xiu nodded to Li Zijun very firmly.
"I hope they will, let's go, let's go see your men. It also saves you from thinking that I have been lying to you!" Li Zijun looked at Yuan Xiu and smiled slightly, and walked towards the conference hall by himself.
Looking at Li Zijun's leisurely back, Yuan Xiu closed his eyes, sighed secretly, and followed closely.
"General, what's going on outside? Why don't they let us out?" Seeing Yuan Xiu, the generals in the council hall immediately 'blew up', and they asked Yuan Xiu loudly.
"Calm down, let me introduce myself. My name is Edlaide Lee, and I'm from the Dongyu Empire. ”
There was originally some noise in the conference hall, but after Li Zijun said his name, the conference hall immediately fell silent!
"Very good!" Li Zijun nodded with satisfaction.
"I believe that everyone heard the shouting and killing outside just now, and I won't tell you that it was the sound of our army entering the city. Now, if nothing else, we have taken the walls and the main streets of the city. And this means that your defenders in the city have been divided into several pieces by us!"
"What's going to happen next, even if I don't say. Everyone must want to get it, too. I'm not a butcher, and I don't want to see that happen. So, I thought, no. I ask the generals to make your men lay down their arms and surrender. I assure you in my personality that I will not harm the safety of any surrendered soldier!"
"Nonsense! You've just entered the city, so it's not certain who will kill the deer? Not to mention. We still have a large army outside the city, if only they can get there in time. I'm afraid it's going to be you who need to be safe!, no matter what, we're not going to surrender!" A stout general yelled at Li Zijun.
"Don't get excited, general, if I'm not mistaken, you and your men should be stationed near the north gate, right?"
"yes, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"Under normal circumstances, the support army outside your city should also support you from the north gate, right?"
"Under normal circumstances, it should be!"
"In that case, does the general dare to make a bet with me?"
"I'm all in your hands, what else do I dare not bet?! Say, what are we betting on?"
"I'll send you to the north gate now, and if your reinforcements get through the north gate within an hour, my men will set you free, but what if it's the other way around?"
"I'll immediately get my men to lay down their arms and surrender! Isn't that what you want me to do at the North Gate, I promise you!" the stout general patted his chest.
"Good!"
"I'm afraid that your words are not enough to make all the generals here accept them, so I'll find you two more companions!" Li Zijun said, finding two more generals in the team.
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of you are also near the North Gate, how about it, would you like to gamble with me too?"
"Bet!"
"I do!"
The two generals who were named should have made Li Zijun's bet!
"Okay! Rambo, please take them on a run!"
"Yes!" Lan Bo nodded to Li Zijun, and left the mansion with the three Ziqing generals with an expressionless face.
"All of you, please take a seat, General Yuan Xiu, please also take a seat, we will sit here and wait for their news!" Li Zijun said as he walked through the generals and sat down in the main seat of the conference hall.
The generals exchanged glances with each other, turned around and sat down again, but they all deliberately avoided Yuan Xiu. Obviously, now Yuan Xiu has become a traitor in their minds!
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Yuan Xiu pulled a chair and sat alone at the door of the council hall.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was no news from the three generals who left them, but the shouts and killings in the city gradually became quieter.
Sure enough! Yuan Xiu looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh!
Originally, Yuan Xiu still had a bit of luck in his heart, but after Li Zijun clearly said the location of the three generals, he had already lost confidence, and at this moment, he was completely desperate!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the three generals who had left before to walk in from the outside with their heads down.
As soon as he stepped into the council hall, the stout general fell to the ground with weak legs:
"It's over, it's all over! Our reinforcements are all over!" Before the words could be finished, the general actually tore his throat and began to cry.
Although the other two generals did not lose their temper so much, they were all like mourners!
The other generals originally wanted to ask them about the situation outside, but after seeing this scene, they were all dumbfounded!
Seeing this scene, Li Zijun didn't say anything more, waved to the monkey, and motioned for him to take these generals out of the council hall one by one.
"Edlaide, what the hell have you done with our reinforcements?" Among the generals, only Yuan Xiu refused the monkey, and he strode up to Li Zijun and asked in a loud voice.
When the generals heard Yuan Xiu's voice, they all stopped!
"I judged that they and the defenders of the city were likely to come to your rescue, so I ambushed two armies in these two directions! As a result, they came, and the army of the city did not dare to leave the city!" Li Zijun did not seem to be very satisfied with this result, and he explained the situation to Yuan Xiu very simply.
"How can you have so many troops on your hands? Could it be that your reinforcements have arrived?" Speaking of this, Yuan Xiu thought of Harry in the Acropolis, and he couldn't help but change his face.
"Yuan Xiu, guess how many people I used to capture Poppy City this time?" Li Zijun smiled coldly, looked at Yuan Xiu and asked without answering.
"How much?"
"Less than 20,000! Comparatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of your soldiers is really too far behind! On the whole, the quality of your soldiers is not even as good as that of the Tibetan Empire. If I hadn't arranged 20,000 horses outside the city, I would only need 80,000 horses for this battle!" Li Zijun's words were full of sarcasm, and the generals of Ziqing, including Yuan Xiu, couldn't help but change their faces.
They turned their heads and tried to argue with Li Zijun, but when the words came to their lips, they realized that all the reasons they thought of were so pale and powerless! It was not until this moment that the Ziqing generals realized that what Li Zijun said was all the truth. The faces of the Ziqing generals all rose with a deep sense of shame. They had nothing to say, so they bowed their heads and turned around and walked out of the meeting room that belonged to them just now!
The soldiers, who had originally planned to resist stubbornly, completely lost the faith to continue to resist after seeing their commander, and they put down their weapons one after another and walked out of the barrier where they were hiding.
Before dawn, all the Ziqing soldiers in the city gave up resistance, and the poppy city was truly back in the hands of the Dongyu Empire.
"Young master, we can be regarded as copying this time, guess how many people we have captured this time?" Early in the morning, the monkey who had just counted the number of prisoners rushed into Li Zijun's room in a hurry.
"What's there to guess about this, haven't we all known about it before, the total number of people in the city is less than 80,000, their casualties are not large, and the number of prisoners should be close to this number. ”
"By the way, you have to arrange for someone to treat their wounded soldiers as soon as possible, this matter must not be sloppy!" Li Zijun, who was looking at the map, commanded the monkey without raising his head.
"I have arranged for someone to do this, you can rest assured, I have told our doctors, how to treat our people, we must do our best!"
"It's just young master, you didn't guess the number of prisoners!"
"Oh, how is it possible, could it be that Ziqing's deaths and injuries have exceeded my expectations?" Li Zijun frowned slightly, looked up at the monkey and asked.
"No, no, you were right in that regard. The real gap is outside the city!" As he spoke, the monkey raised his eyebrows slightly at Li Zijun.
"Outside the city?" Li Zijun paused for a moment and understood what the monkey meant. (To be continued.) )
