Eight hundred and eighty-fifth chapters do not accept surrender
Outside King Kucha’s city, the Western Expedition army that captured Kucha’s Teawood City did not choose to set up camp and all rested on the spot.
King Bai Kuli of the Kingdom of Kucha is the current king of the Kingdom of Kucha. The surname Bai is a surname rarely seen in the Western Regions. Liu Mingzhi himself did not expect that the royal family of the Kingdom of Kucha would have the same surname as his grandfather's family.
It's just the name that immediately shows the difference from the Han people.
This is all due to the fact that every time Young Master Liu captured a city, he would seal off the entire city to prevent the news from leaking out. At the same time, the scouts were constantly investigating the news from other countries. The news that the Western Expedition Army had captured so many countries was still locked up.
Except for the captured country, the other countries were still laughing and joking, and Liu Mingzhi randomly found caravans and detained them on any pretext, just to prevent the caravans from leaking the news.
The reason for detention is simple. I have bought all your goods, but you are not allowed to return to the country within six months and must stay in the city.
Those businessmen did not have any thoughts of resistance but happily stayed in the city to eat, drink and have fun, praying to God from time to time to give them a few more unjust customers like Master Liu.
"Commander Qi, we have sent out 3,000 scouts to survey the entire Kucha Kingdom. They are in groups of five, with two sharpshooters in each group!"
"Yes, Qiuci State borders several countries. We must not let any news leak out, so as not to arouse the vigilance of other countries!"
"Got the order!"
"Report, the guards in Yancheng have discovered traces of our army and are preparing for battle on the city wall!"
"Continue the investigation and wait for the return of the messenger!"
"Got the order!"
"Cheng Kai, order the soldiers to deploy artillery, and in nine cases out of ten we will have to attack the city again!"
"The general will get the order!"
"Shan'erhe!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead your 30,000 cavalry to the north gate and wait for opportunities. Once any cavalry leaves the city, immediately surround them and kill them!"
"The general will get the order!"
"Han Peng, lead 30,000 cavalry to the south gate!"
"Got the order!"
"Zhou Baoyu!"
"The end is here!"
"Zhou Baoyu, lead 10,000 archers and 10,000 light cavalry to ambush three miles outside the west gate. No one seeking help is allowed to cross your defense line!"
"Got the order!"
"Commander, Commander Jiang is injured!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly straightened up from the sand table and hurried out of the tent, and the generals behind him also hurriedly followed.
"Jiang Lei, how are you?"
Liu Mingzhi grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at Jiang Lei, who was lying on the horse with an arrow stuck in his back, his face gloomy and anxious.
With beads of sweat on his forehead, Jiang Lei resisted the pain in his back and turned over to dismount: "Commander, the general is not a big problem. The arrow is blocked by the leather lining of the chainmail armor, and it cannot be inserted deeply!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly supported Jiang Lei's arm: "Quickly send the military doctor to my commander's tent!"
"yes!"
"Slow down, let's take a rest in the big tent first!"
"Okay, General, I have embarrassed you, Commander-in-Chief. I didn't expect that the moment the General turned around, the guards on Yancheng fired cold arrows. Otherwise, as a sixth-grade master, how could the General be plotted!"
"You're right. I was careless. After conquering so many countries, no one dared to take action against them. I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation!"
"Damn it, the two armies are fighting and the envoys are not killed. The Qiuci Kingdom is so immoral. I have to massacre the city!"
"Yes, Cheng Kai is right. He massacred the city. First he killed the innocent people in my Han family's caravan, and now he even violated the rules and injured the envoys of my army. How can I explain to my brothers if I don't massacre the city!"
"Shut up, I have made my own decision!"
"yes!"
After letting Jiang Lei lie on the desk, Liu Mingzhi untied Jiang Lei's armor. The military doctor hurriedly ran in with a medicine box on his back: "Commander, who is injured?"
Liu Mingzhi did not blame the old military doctor for coming in uninvited. Instead, he directly called him over: "Old military doctor, come and see if the arrow has been quenched with poison!"
"Yes, I'll check it out immediately!"
The old military doctor took out a towel and put it in front of Jiang Lei: "General, bite the towel and endure it! It may hurt a little!"
Jiang Lei took a deep breath: "You're welcome, just pull it out!"
After saying that, he bit the towel and waited for the old military doctor to pull out the arrow!
The old military doctor cut open Jiang Lei's wound and took a look and breathed a sigh of relief: "The blood stains are normal and the arrows are blocked by the armor. In addition, the general has practiced martial arts and strengthened his muscles. The arrows did not penetrate deeply and did not hurt the lungs. It only takes a few days of training."
get well!"
"General, I shouted one, two, three and took out the arrow. Please bear with me!"
Jiang Lei lay motionless on the table and relaxed his body. This was not the first time he had been injured. He knew that the more nervous he was, the more painful it would be!
"one"
As soon as the word was spoken, the old military doctor pulled out the arrow from Jiang Lei's back. Jiang Lei groaned and clenched his fists, and the sweat on his forehead showed how painful it was!
The old military doctor hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle, wiped off the blood stains on Jiang Lei, applied the medicine for the golden sore, and bandaged it with fine cloth boiled in boiling water.
"Old man prescribes medicine, and he can be cured in seven days with two meals a day!"
Jiang Lei gasped and took the towel from his mouth: "Old sir, thank you very much!"
"General, you are so polite. It is your duty! Commander, all generals have resigned!"
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
"Jiang Lei, how do you feel?"
"Commander, don't worry, the general will be fine! He can wear armor and go into battle at any time!"
"Good boy, you go back to the camp and rest first!"
"Commander, the last general"
"This is a military order!"
"Yes, I will retire at the end!"
After Jiang Lei left, Liu Mingzhi's face darkened and he walked out of the tent with the Heavenly Sword in hand: "Cheng Kai, order the three armies to attack the city immediately and do not accept surrender!"
There was a hint of bloodthirsty in Cheng Kai's eyes. He held the horizontal sword at his waist and smiled coldly: "The last general has the order!"
The war drums sounded, flags flew, and the horses' hooves paved restlessly.
The soldiers began to push artillery catapults and approach the city wall under the cover of shield bearers. Sure enough, before they got too close, a wave of probing arrows from Yancheng began to shoot towards the Western Expedition army!
Most of the arrows fell down weakly, while a small number of arrows jingled on the shield.
Cheng Kai coldly waved the command flag in his hand and ordered the firing of artillery. The action had already become familiar and unfamiliar!
"fire!"
Twenty artillery pieces lined up in a row and shells fell rapidly towards the Yancheng city wall noisily.
There was an explosion, and the familiar screams of the Western Expedition army came from the city wall. Many people were blown out from the city wall.
"Three solid bullets, bombard the city gate!"
The soldiers immediately turned their guns and pointed them at the city gate and started firing. The first shell missed and left a cloud of dust on the city wall. The second shell adjusted its trajectory and flew away again.
A big hole was smashed out of the city gate with one blow!
Duan couldn't help but immediately cooperated with Cheng Kai to command the eight-oxen crossbow catapult and began to attack the city.
The defenders of Yancheng first felt what despair was, just like the despair of Gumo Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom.
This unknown thing but like a thunderous attack on the city made the defenders frightened and had no intention of resisting.
"Report, cavalry has been found at the north gate and south gate, about 10,000 people each!"
"Instruct Han Peng and Shaner to work together to annihilate them all!"
"Got the order!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his telescope and looked at the smoke and dust billowing above the city wall, unable to see the light of day. His expression did not waver at all.
"The messenger can't bear it. When will the stones and crossbows run out? When will the army start attacking the city!"
"Got the order!"
"The messenger can't bear to direct thirty crossbows to aim at the city gate. No one can come out without my order. I don't want to see anything alive walking out of the city gate!"
