"Boohoo!"

The dense rain of arrows came screaming, hit the city walls and shields hard, and fell into the city. The mercenaries on the suppressed city wall could not raise their heads to fight back. Countless enemy troops swarmed in along the ladders, and they were about to die.

Climb the wall. Once you succeed, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

The mercenaries all knew the consequences of the enemy climbing up. They didn't care about being hit by arrows and shouted to be brave. One person raised his shield to block the arrows, and the other risked his life to shoot at the enemy climbing up below.

For killing, the disadvantage is the repeating crossbow, which can fire continuously and kill a lot in an instant.

At this time, a large number of people rushed over, all holding buckets in their hands. They were covered by soldiers holding shields. They rushed up to the city wall and poured water down with their eyes closed. They screamed to vent their fear and did not dare to look at it after pouring.

, rushed down to the city like flying, and more people rushed over carrying water.

Although many people were not hit by the water, the water still fell and splashed on the heads of the enemies waiting to climb the ladder below. On the ladder, many enemy soldiers were drenched to the core and shivered, but they forced themselves to continue moving forward.

I climbed up, but my body heat quickly disappeared and I was unable to do what I wanted.

More ice water was poured down, and with repeated crossbow shooting, the enemy soldiers who climbed up the ladder fell one after another. The dead ones were left unattended, and the ones who were not dead were covered by their companions with shields, but another bucket of water was poured down, and the enemy soldiers fell down one after another.

It flowed down along the shield and fell into everyone's neck, and the body was biting with ice.

The mercenaries had people pouring water to help them, and their morale increased greatly. They continued to kill the enemies below despite the rain of arrows. However, there were too many enemy archers, and the casualties increased. The two armies began to fight for willpower and exhaustion.

The battle became stalemate, and no one was willing to retreat.

Not long after, more people came over carrying water and stepped up their attack.

The siege troops below the city couldn't stand the cold, and were shivering from the cold. No one even bothered to climb the ladder. They all hid under their shields and squatted in defense. They were so densely packed that they were really cold. No one dared to withdraw without a military order.

, but in this way, the troops rushing up from behind will be blocked and unable to rush forward.

The ladder suddenly stood alone against the wall, feeling a little lonely.

Qin Huaidao smiled when he saw this scene and shouted: "Send the order, stop shooting, use shield to cover the water, and splash farther away."

Some mercenaries who could understand Tang yelled orders, and the mercenaries acted quickly to cover the people who came up with water. Some even grabbed the buckets and poured them away, causing more people to get wet.

They yelled and wanted to rush up the ladder and climb the city wall, but they were blocked by their own people and crowded into a ball.

Not long after, the enemy discovered something unusual and began to withdraw their troops.

The siege troops retreated like a tide. Some people attacked angrily, but were stopped by Qin Huaidao's orders. They finally got so many people wet, and they must have been put back to infect others with fevers and colds. It was a simple version of a biochemical attack.

The enemy troops were repulsed. Qin Huaidao saw cheers from other city walls and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Luo Zhang to be found. Seeing that Luo Zhang's face was full of excitement and he was not injured, he felt relieved and told him: "We just fought.

, the biggest threat is archery, there are too many enemy archers."

"Yes, a lot of people died at the hands of the archers. If there are a few more rounds, the morale of the army may be unstable, but there is nothing we can do." Luo Zhang's face became heavy, and he lost the joy of victory just now.

Qin Huaidao looked at the city wall. There were guard walls on both sides, like a U shape. The guard wall was about one and a half meters high, with wall stacks about six meters wide. He was moved in his heart and immediately said: "Find wood and put it across the wall stacks to raise it up every day."

Place a long piece of wood every two meters to leave some wall stacks for archery. If the long wood is not enough, use stones to form pillars in the middle of the city wall, splice them with short pieces of wood, lay a layer of boards on top, and then cover the board with a layer of stones and bricks.

It can be made into a shed. Although people cannot stand upright under it, they can still use a repeating crossbow while bowing."

"Use the parapet wall to build a shed?" Luo Zhang reacted, thought for a while, and said: "Slates and bricks are thicker, which should be able to shoot arrows, but stone slabs and bricks are hard to find, and wood is also hard to find, and

The amount of work is huge, so we can only..."

"Ask Anguo Gong for help, recruit the people, and ask the people to buy the necessary materials. Don't demolish it by force. The people's hearts must not be disturbed. Let's demolish the city lord's palace first, and do it quickly. Go ahead." Qin Huaidao warned.

"Follow the order!" Luo Zhang hurried away.

"Send the order and ask the Imperial Army to help." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Yixie.

Li Yixie nodded and arranged for a Yulin Guard to pass the order.

Qin Huaidao looked at the enemy troops in front. They saw a strong formation, with flags flying, and no end in sight. He didn't know how many people there were. The enemy suffered little loss in the battle just now, but thousands of people were splashed with water. If they all had colds and fevers, the enemy army might not be so strong.

Multi-drug treatment, but the enemy has too many troops. Once an abnormality is discovered, it only needs to be isolated, and it will have no effect.

With more troops, you can do whatever you want.

This is a big problem. We can only guard against arrows. Without the threat of arrows, the battle will still continue. If we don't solve this problem, more than half of our troops will be reduced in less than three days. By then, the morale of the army will be loose, morale will plummet, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Thoughts flashed through his mind. Qin Huaidao looked at the sky. No matter what, he had to wait until dark. The enemy would not be able to attack after dark. One night was enough to complete the deployment. The question was how to delay it until dark?

Seeing that the enemy formation was about to move and might launch an attack at any time, Qin Huaidao looked solemn and suddenly had an idea and asked: "Li Yixie, I have given you a dangerous mission, do you dare to complete it?"

"Why don't you dare? General, please tell me."

"As expected of the son of a tiger general, go to the other side and say that our army is willing to surrender..."

"Ah?" Li Yixie's expression changed drastically.

"Ah what? A delaying strategy." Qin Huaidao explained angrily.

"I was shocked. I misunderstood. General, please calm down." Li Yixie smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, listen carefully, you go and change into a regular team armor. The level is too high and dangerous, and the level is too low and unconvincing. When you get there, you will ask for negotiation. The condition is that I want to be promoted to the second-level general, and the others will be promoted to one level. It is too high.

It is easy to arouse the enemy's suspicion. In addition, we can ask for more silver reward, which will show that we are greedy for money and want beauties, otherwise the enemy will not believe that we are willing to surrender, so just three hundred thousand gold and a hundred beauties." Qin Huaidao warned seriously.

"Remember, this condition will make the general appear greedy and lustful. People who are lustful are often greedy, and lustful people are afraid of death, so the credibility of surrender is very high. There should be no problem. However, what should I do if the enemy asks about the identity of the general?" Li Yixie

asked quickly.

"Then tell me your identity. Li Junxian is an important minister of the Holy Emperor. As Li Junxian's son, it is no problem for him to serve as a general." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"Ah... I pretend to be a team and go there, and then become myself?"

"If you don't want to, forget it, I'll find someone else." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"No, if I go, does it count as a credit?"

"Forget it, and it's a great achievement!" Qin Huaidao straightened his face, pointed at the busy people and said: "We need time to deploy. Once the deployment is successful, many people will die less. You go to negotiate just to gain time. It is of great significance. I will personally

Write it on the military merit report."

"Okay, I'll go." Li Yixie agreed.

"Use the rope to climb over the city wall and get down."

"Understood." Li Yi said with satisfaction.

Not long after, Li Yixie found Feizhao, pulled the rope and skillfully fell backwards, heading straight towards the enemy. Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up and he sighed: "He is full of courage. He is worthy of being the son of a tiger general. He is a good man."

Li Yixie bravely ran towards the enemy's position. He said he was not panicking, but since his father Li Junxian resigned from his post at home, Li Yixie knew that if he wanted to revive his family, he could only fight with his own life.

"call out!"

An arrow whizzed over and landed on the ground in front, its tail buzzing and trembling.

Li Yixie stopped and raised his hands slightly to show that he was not hostile.

After waiting for a moment, a general came forward and shouted: "Who is coming and what do you want?"

"We are here to negotiate on the order of the general." Li Yixie shouted.

"Tell me!"

"My general said that good weather brings good life. If we continue to fight, it will be detrimental to your army. Of course, it will also be detrimental to our army. If we risk our lives to the end, our army will definitely be annihilated in the end, but your army will also lose tens of thousands. Instead of

Both sides will lose, so why not sit down and talk."

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't accept negotiations, you must die." The other party said impatiently.

"Do these words represent the king of your country?" Li Yixie asked coldly.

When the King of Goguryeo was mentioned, the other party hesitated. Li Yixie continued: "If you give me a message to your king, both sides will suffer. Our army will pull the people of the city together before they die. Your king will do nothing to save you and abandon the reputation of the people."

, or have a good talk.”

Reputation is very important to those in power. The visitor's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to refuse anymore. He asked with a cold face: "Tell me your conditions."

Seeing that Li Yixie had trapped the other party with words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would not talk about it and continued to attack. He continued: "My general said that for the post of a second-grade general, he will be rewarded with 300,000 silver coins and hundreds of beauties.

When the letter of appointment is received, the money and the beauty will surrender. If they don't agree, forget it. At worst, they will be destroyed together with Liaodong City."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any more nonsense.

Negotiation requires momentum, letting the other party see determination and attitude. Even if the talks are fake, the momentum cannot be weak.

Returning to the city, Li Yixie saw that the enemy was not chasing him, so he quickly grabbed the rope and climbed up. Fear rushed into his heart for a while, and he said repeatedly: "General, the conditions have been laid out. I added one more, that is, after receiving the letter of appointment, the money and the beauty will come."

Surrender, even if you don't agree, the worst thing you can do is burn with Liaodong City, it will be counterproductive, at that time it was just to shock the other party."

"It doesn't matter, this addition is good, it makes us more greedy and more persuasive." Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction, looked at the enemy formation, and added: "What do you think?"

Li Yixie hurriedly said: "It's hard to say, but the other party should not dare to conceal the report. In addition, we asked Goguryeo to exchange food for corpses before. The enemy will no longer question our army's greed and believe it. The King of Goguryeo is concerned about his reputation. Even if he refuses our surrender, he will temporarily

Stop the attack, discuss with your subordinates, unify the morale of the army, and time will pass."

Qin Huaidao saw that he had thought about it, and he was determined and said with a smile: "Yes, if the King of Goguryeo accepts surrender, he must first deal with internal voices. After all, we want a lot, and many people will be dissatisfied. If he refuses to surrender, he will also need to

We spend time unifying the army and solving the problem of reputation. If we really drag the people to pieces, the King of Goguryeo will refuse to save the people and abandon the people. This is a loss of moral character and the consequences will be serious. We will wait and see."

"It's not possible to attack us directly. We can't be defeated in a short time. If we lose again, the soldiers will blame the King of Goguryeo for letting everyone die after learning about the surrender. They will complain and their morale will plummet." Li Yixie added.

The two nodded in agreement and smiled.

After calculating the enemy's psychology to this extent and still failing, Qin Huaidao also accepted his fate.

Waiting is torture.
