He repeated the question again, but there was still no answer. Wang Mi shook his head and decided to give them something hard.
"If you say it, you can forget about it. If you don't say it, you will only die. You are all the same!"
"Whoever says so will live."
Wang Mi winked, and He Wuji immediately stepped forward, drew out his sword, and placed it on the neck of a soldier.
He didn't choose this person specially, he just came randomly.
When the cold blade touched the delicate skin of his neck, the soldier immediately panicked.
"Spare... General, spare your life!"
"The little one really doesn't know!"
He was panicked and seemed quite sincere. Big beads of sweat kept falling down.
The soldier begged hard and said all kinds of good things. Beside him, the other Di Qin soldiers, although they did not help, they were still observing the direction of the wind.
The corpse in front of him was in exquisite armor. When he was hit, the weapon in his hand was shining brightly. It could be seen that it had been carefully maintained.
It can be seen that this person is definitely not an ordinary soldier, at least he is a kind of general, and he can be regarded as a person.
You have to know it before you die. More importantly, this person died in the hands of Wang Mi. Who he killed must be known clearly.
He Wuji pressed for a while, but no one relented.
He turned around to ask for Wang Mi's opinion. Wang Mi did not speak, but gave him a look.
He Wuji immediately understood and drew his knife and slashed.
In an instant, blood spurted out and dyed the soil red.
The little soldier fell down with a loud sound, and he didn't even have a chance to make a sound.
It's not enough for one person to fall down, it's not enough to shock people's hearts.
Next, He Wuji killed two more Di Qin soldiers one after another, killing them casually without any mercy.
His green-white face was gentle and gentle, but now he looked a bit green-faced and fanged.
It's like the white impermanence from hell.
"Don't tell me!"
Seeing their comrades falling to the ground one after another, with blood sprinkling all over the camp, the Qin soldiers' attitude suddenly changed and they started shouting.
"General, spare your life!"
"we say!"
"Let's all say it!"
Wouldn't it be better if it was like this earlier?
It’s convenient for everyone.
If you have to create artificial obstacles, it’s over!
These Di people still underestimated Wang Shilang. Seeing that he had a fair face and seemed to be a gentle man, they thought he was easy to bully.
In fact, I don't know how many times I have been on the battlefield. Not to mention killing people like crazy, I have killed countless people.
There is no fear of letting the blood of these dissidents splatter on the spot.
No guilt at all.
How is it now? You can see how awesome it is.
I think it's not that easy.
Wang Mi sat upright and looked down upon these prisoners.
I was very proud to see them scared to death, as if they were going to die of anger in the next second.
It should have been like this a long time ago, everything is under control.
"You tell me."
Wang Mi chose a soldier who was the most proactive among them. Then
The little soldier stepped forward on his knees, bowed his head and said, "General, it is clear to me that this person is Fu Pi, the guard of Ye City."
"Fu Pi?"
"Is he Fu Pi?"
Wang Mi's eyes narrowed slightly and he resisted the urge to jump up. The other brothers were also stunned.
Although they knew they should have caught a big fish, they didn't expect it to be such a big fish.
"General, you heard me right. It is indeed Fu Pi. We all know him."
Others dare not say it, but Fu Pi, no one will admit his mistake. Fu Pi has been guarding here for two or three years, and most of the soldiers in Ye City know him.
"good!"
"Wuji, take them all to the back and keep them under temporary custody."
He Wuji took the order and acted quickly.
In a short time, a dozen soldiers were brought to the camp at the rear, where the prisoners were specially guarded.
Of course, so far, the place is empty.
This wave of prisoners can be regarded as the first wave of guests here.
The situation on the battlefield has not yet been decided, and the work of capturing prisoners has not yet begun. Strictly speaking, these dozen people are not prisoners, but were only temporarily captured.
After sending away the living, the dead must also be dealt with.
Of the corpses lying in the general's tent, only Fu Pi's needed to be taken seriously. Wang Mi thought for a moment. Since the winner had not been determined yet, these ordinary soldiers could not be properly buried. They could only be buried first.
Pull it out and put it anywhere.
As for Fu Pi's corpse, his head was naturally cut off and kept for later use.
After all the miscellaneous matters were taken care of, the brothers could finally settle down and sit together to discuss the next strategy.
The so-called siege, of course, must capture the city before it can count.
How can it be done by just wandering around the periphery?
Although it can kill more Qin soldiers, it is not enough after all.
"Everyone, in my opinion, it is better to decide quickly."
Before learning about Fu Pi's death, Wang Mi did not dare to say this, but now that Fu Pi is dead, this strategy can be carried out openly.
Just right.
He Mai said with his usual smiling face: "I think so too, but I don't have a clue about the specific strategy yet."
Even if he had a clue, people would not dare to follow his advice.
When it comes to the matter of war, Brother Amai always thinks about things one by one and does not consider everything comprehensively.
"Wuji, what do you think?"
This is the right person to ask.
On the way to deliver the prisoners to the camp, He Wuji was not idle. He made a rough count of how many bows, arrows, gunpowder, and artillery were left behind.
Without knowing this information, you cannot plan for the next step.
"Our current baggage reserves, swords, guns and arrows are still sufficient, but artillery and gunpowder are in short supply."
"If we want to rely on firearms to open up the situation, we must do it quickly. Prolonged delay will be very detrimental to us."
Wang Mi nodded, agreeing with He Wuji's opinion.
Yecheng should indeed be captured as soon as possible, and now is the best time.
Fu Pi is dead. He cannot yet judge whether the city's garrison knows about this situation, but Fu Pi's absence for a long time will definitely cause chaos in the city.
At this time, the city's defense must be at its most relaxed.
This is also the best time for the siege soldiers.
Once you catch it, it’s done!
It is a pity that the artillery that Wang Mi can produce now is not powerful enough to blow through the city wall and completely collapse it.
Being able to blow up even a corner is considered the limit.
This is not a problem with gunpowder, but a problem with sealed packaging.
That is to say, there is a difference in the production process.
The biggest difficulty for the Jin army now is the lack of gunpowder.
After two rounds of charges, as He Wuji said, most of the firearms had been consumed. They could no longer use firearms as unscrupulously as they did at the beginning.
Too uneconomical.
If you still want to rely on firearms now, you must find an easy breakthrough point and quickly enter the Yecheng tower.
Using firearms to gain an advantage has always been a strategy that the Jin army was good at using.
This time, of course, they have to repeat their old tricks.
"Wuji, take a group of soldiers and explore the surrounding areas of Ye City to see which gate is the weakest in defense. We will move all the artillery there and concentrate our attack."
He Wuji bowed his head and agreed, but was not in a hurry to leave.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Wang Mi continued: "I remember Yang Baihua said before that there are not many generals guarding Ye City, right?"
He Wuji recalled: "It is true that there were not many. Fu Pi is dead, let alone Yang Baihua himself was seriously injured and unable to fight."
"Fu Zuan defected from Jinyang, but his abilities are limited and should not affect the overall situation. The only person we have to watch out for is the veteran Zhang Hao."
"This man has experienced hundreds of battles and won many battles. He is not easy to deal with."
When he said this, Wang Mi felt relieved.
A big city like Yecheng cannot be defended by just one guard, even if Zhang Hao grows three heads and six arms.
"That's it, let's attack from both sides!"
"I will follow you. We will go around from the flank of Daosong Peak and go around to the rear of Ye City. We will attack the weak points of the city wall while waiting for opportunities."
He Wuji nodded repeatedly, of course he wanted to be able to cooperate with Wang Mi.
In addition, of course He Mai will also come in handy.
Wang Mi asked him to support Liu Yu, one strong and one weak, which is also a common practice in war.
Generally speaking, the area near the north gate where Liu Yu and the others are currently staying is the most heavily defended place in a city.
This is also considered the main entrance of a city.
The south gate and the city gates on the side always have weak points.
This is the place where Wang Mi and others are going to attack. He Mai acted quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the tent to look for Liu Yu.
At the same time, he was also tasked with clearly informing Liu Yu of Wang Mi's plan for a pincer attack.
"Wuji, let's take action!"
In fact, Wang Mi's trip was no less dangerous than Liu Yu's insistence at the North Gate at this time, because in order to attack the weak points, they also had to transport artillery and other heavy equipment there.
This is actually not easy at all.
Gunpowder is okay, but artillery is bigger and more dangerous. Although the distance it moves here is not very far, it is very difficult to avoid the enemy's sight and ensure its integrity.
Even if it is difficult, there is only one way now!
Must get through!
Just as Wang Mi predicted, Ye City was already in chaos.
Although people are still unaware of Fu Pi's situation, they have already foreshadowed that the danger is approaching.
"How about it?"
"Have you found Fu Pi?"
Fu Zuan had just returned from the battlefield, and Zhang Hao immediately caught him and asked him.
Fu Pi left the city at about the same time as Fu Zuan, but Fu Zuan had already returned, but Fu Pi was still missing.
Zhang Hao stood on the tower and kept looking around, but saw nothing.
No trace of Fu Pi was found at all.
How can this not make people anxious?
You know, Fu Pi has the final say on the direction of this city!
Fu Zuan shook his head regretfully: "I've looked everywhere, but I haven't seen it."
"Didn't you see it?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's alive or dead?"
"Indeed not."
Fu Zuan didn't dare to lie about this matter. He really searched for it seriously and there was no trace of Fu Pi anywhere.
What's even more frightening is that there don't seem to be many soldiers who can provide clues. Maybe it's because the number of soldiers he captured is still small.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Time is too urgent and we are still fighting. It is really impossible to take care of everything at the same time.
Of course Zhang Hao understands that it is not easy for Fu Zuan, but the current situation also makes it even more difficult for him.
Yang Baihua was seriously injured and had been carried down. It was unknown whether he could survive.
This was difficult enough. Now, Fu Pi had another problem, and the situation in Yecheng became even more complicated.
"This matter must be kept secret and cannot be known to people in the city." Zhang Hao repeatedly warned, and Fu Zuan agreed.
Although he also knew that he could not hide it for long, but it could only be hidden for a while.
What happened to Fu Pi?
Could it be that he was captured?
Or...or...dead?
There are only these two possibilities left. Thinking of these, Zhang Hao has a headache.
It seems that the only way to defend Yecheng is to look at Zhang Hao.
However, can it really be defended?
Zhang Hao, after all, is not Fu Pi, and his belief does not seem to be that firm.
Zhang Hao commanded the enemy on the tower. So far, the tower has not been affected much.
Although the Jin army organized several waves of siege charges, they still failed to break through the Qin soldiers' defense. It must be said that Zhang Hao's strength was still very strong.
Without the Xianbei army in Lagao, it is indeed not easy to break through such a strong city.
The firearms were consumed too quickly, and Liu Yu could only change his strategy immediately.
Expand the scope of use of cold weapons and save firearms.
Although Wang Mi has selflessly sponsored part of it, it is all valuable and must be used sparingly. I don’t know how long this vicious battle will take!
The fight in the city was lively, and the people below the city were no less willing to give in.
Within the city walls, a group of people were organized and handed over to Fu Zuan for temporary management.
They were almost escorted to the bottom of the city, climbing ladders, and actively repairing the city wall amidst the violent bombardment of the Jin army.
The bamboo ladder was rickety, and stone cannons fell from time to time, making it extremely dangerous.
Compared with the soldiers in the city, these craftsmen may be more dangerous.
People can still escape, but the only place they can step on is these bamboo ladders, and they have no other choice.
They cannot escape, they can only meet the challenge.
So far, not even half an hour into the construction, more than a dozen craftsmen have already fallen down from the bamboo ladder.
There are many reasons, but the only thing that is the same is that they all failed to survive.
A group of craftsmen were forced to climb a bamboo ladder. As more and more of their companions died, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen became less and less.
They didn't want to repair the city wall for Di Qin at all. How could Fu Zuan not notice it?
From the day Di Qin entered the Central Plains, he understood his situation. These Han people did not welcome them at all, and they would not welcome them at all.
Don’t the Han people have a famous saying?
It is said that I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han.
When the imperial court was strong and Fu Jian was still a monarch they could rely on, they chose to swallow their anger and make do.
Nowadays, Di Qin has collapsed and only controls a few scattered cities. The Han people no longer look down on this group of Di people.
