Chapter 219 Siege

Weizhou is now under the control of Eastern Mongolia, and the local people have been included in the ranks of relocation. After the Eastern Mongolian troops appeared in Dengzhou, this Weizhou defensive envoy hurriedly threw down Weizhou City and fled into Yidu.

Now he regrets it! If he had known that the soldiers and horses of Yidu Mansion were so unstoppable, it would be better to escape into the mountains and hide. In that case, he would not have been trapped in the city by the Mongols, and there would be a risk of breaking the city at any time.

Now, after the generals of the East Mongolian army expressed their conditions for surrender, they were waiting for the other party's reply. Speaking of which, Li Quan's requirements were not high.

First, after surrender, Eastern Mongolia could not massacre the city or move the people. Second, Eastern Mongolia wanted to grant Li Quan the military commander of the prefecture currently controlled by the prefecture. If these two conditions could be met, Yidu could immediately surrender to Eastern Mongolia, and would also pay 100,000 wheat, 10,000 silk, and 1,000 kilograms of copper every year.

Of course, there will be no obstacles in the entry and exit of Shandong by merchants from Eastern Mongolia.

Compared with the Mongolian Khan's management methods for the Han Dynasty, this method is unacceptable. However, Eastern Mongolia and Khan's distinction are different, and there is no separatist force below. It is even more impossible for Marshal Du, who has private soldiers and claims to be one of internal laws and regulations.

Now in Eastern Mongolia, no one is a marshal. Such an official position is not within the system at all. Therefore, Li Quan's request is destined to be unrecognized by Eastern Mongolia.

However, in addition to the open request for surrender, Xiao Lu's mission also had a task assigned by Ge Jing, the chief of the General Administration Office. Not long after returning to the temporary residence, he asked the soldiers guarding him to report to the top that he had a special task to meet the commander general of the Eastern Mongolian.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Xiao Lu was taken to an unknown tent.

In the military camps in Eastern Mongolia, the tents are all grayish-white. There is not much difference in size or style, which makes it difficult for people who are not clear about the inside story to guess which tents live in generals, which are ordinary soldiers, and which are also warehouses for storing supplies.

In this way, even if you have a fine worker infiltrated the military camp of Eastern Mongolia, it will not be so easy to succeed. Now, under the guidance of the soldiers, Xiao Lu can't remember his way. When he entered the interior, he immediately saw Ulaanbari who was dealing with military affairs and Wang Wentong who was at the table below.

When I asked for surrender in the tent, both Ulaanbari, Wang Wentong and Xiao Lu had met. I saw each other again at this moment, and I still said with courtesy: "Governor General, Lord Wang, the lower official came to visit late at night, but it was really an urgent matter." After that, he told him about Ge Jing's explanation to him and Li Quan's completely unintentional surrender.

When he heard that Li Quan was still trying to provoke between Eastern Mongolia and the Khanate, both Ulaanbari and Wang Wentong showed a sarcastic smile. Because in today's game, Ulaanbari had already represented Eastern Mongolia and made an agreement with Shi Tianni of the Khanate. Before Yidu City was taken down, both sides must restrain their own army and not cause trouble.

And we also agreed to launch a strong attack on Yidu City early tomorrow morning.

So even if Li Quan’s sowering trick is used, there will probably be no time to work.

After learning the inside story, Xiao Lu couldn't help but feel shocked. He said worriedly: "The two Shangguans, the errands guarding the city gate, were controlled by Li Quan's confidants. We originally wanted to do some tricks to welcome the king's army, but I'm afraid they would probably not be able to do anything."

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry too much. We have our own way to attack the city, so you don't have to wait for a hint of embarrassment." Wang Wentong replied with a smile, making Xiao Lu less guilty. Originally, he said this to avoid the Eastern Mongolian asking them to cooperate with opening the city gate. Although this was a reward for being so scattered, the city gates are now very tightly guarded, and his manpower is simply not allowed. If you force it, you may not wait until the Eastern Mongolian soldiers enter the city, and he will become a dead soul under the sword.

Therefore, I would rather make less contributions than save my life.

The next day, before the sky was dawn, the rumbling whistling sound had already reached the city. The people who were already panicked were even more frightened. After waiting for so many days, they all knew that there were Mongolian Tartars besieging the city outside the city. But they had never heard of the siege before. Today, they were finally going to attack the city.

At this moment, at the Taichang Gate in the north, the army of 100,000 marquis was ready. At the same time, the large catapult carts, chariots, and siege ladders were pushed to the front of the formation. As the whistling sound began in the south, Shi Tianni also issued an order to attack.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people were running on the ground at the same time, and the catapult carts also smashed stones into the city wall under the operation of the soldiers. The soldiers carrying soldiers carrying the siege ladders rushed towards the city wall like densely packed ants.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall also shot thousands of arrows at once, and the sky, which was not bright, immediately lost all its light like dark clouds covering the top.

When a wave of arrow rain fell, thousands of corpses and more undead wounded soldiers were immediately added to the battlefield. However, there were more soldiers on the battlefield on the side of the Shihou Army. The thick and heavy Bocheng Wood was carried by hundreds of people and quickly approached the city gate.

Just as the siege on the Khan Court quickly entered a white-hot situation, the Longxi Gate in the south did not stop.

The offensive in the East Mongolian side was half a stick of incense earlier than the Khan Court! It was just that because most of the Western Army were cavalry, they were used to attack the city walls, which was really useless. Therefore, the main force of the attack was actually the fire tubes carried by the soldiers.

This firearm actually has limited effect when facing the tall and thick city walls. But the advantage is that most defenders have never seen the fire tube, so they will be scared by the sound of the fire tubes. Therefore, the defenders hide under the city walls and dare not show their heads.

Seeing this, Ulaanbari began to let those surrendered troops come to the field!

These were all surrendered troops from the Dengzhou direction, especially the 50,000 troops used by Guoan. After being attacked by Temulun's cavalry and repeatedly interspersed, the formation finally collapsed. The 30,000 surrendered troops became cannon fodder for this siege.

After the defenders on the city wall were suppressed, the surrendered troops who were already thinking they were about to die suddenly had some hope of survival. At this time, several soldiers carrying coffins also mixed in the surrendered troops and rushed towards the city gate.

The defender on the city was nothing but Guoan, who had been defeated by the Western Army before. Although he was defeated, he fled back to Yidu with more than 10,000 troops, which could be regarded as enhancing Yidu's protective strength, so he was only kept by Li Quandai to use his original position.
