After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 436

He Lingchuan closed his eyes and bowed his head silently.

This is not the first comrade-in-arms he sent away, and it certainly won't be the last.

They all shed their blood on foreign lands.

……

After the raid in this area, all members of the Broken Knife team were injured to varying degrees.

Because He Lingchuan took the lead, he was in distress the most times, and was almost sent out of the dreamland by direct KO twice.

The price was that a hole was pierced under the ribs, and the right ear was cut off.In comparison, other skin injuries are not worth mentioning.

He hissed in pain as Arlo sewed his ears.

"What's it called!" A Luo's face was black, and a cloth strip was wrapped around his forehead, "Is it possible to rush into such a big dark room?"

"Didn't I want to make a feint for you?" He Lingchuan grinned, knowing that he was much braver in Soul Town than in reality, and the scale of his shots was bigger. "Where is Shi Tuofan, give me some pain relief!"

Even in Dafang Pot, every battle is a rare opportunity for trial, and he has to explore his own fighting style and rhythm.

If you are not brave here, when will you wait?
"You can't use it too much, it's addictive." A Luo said sternly, "You've been using it too much recently, bear with it as long as you can, it's not like breaking your hands or legs."

Fortunately, this kind of suppression battle quickly became sporadic, and by the afternoon of the fifth day, the Panlong Army had basically taken control of the entire city of Xiqiu.

If the Red General used the method of continuous sitting to kill, the speed would be much faster.

This is also a common method used in many siege battles, but it loses the favorability of the people.

In the middle, the Xixiang Palace sent troops out of the city several times, trying to cooperate with these scattered troops, but they were all repulsed by the Gale Army waiting outside the palace city.

After several battle losses, the Xijin Palace did not dare to go out to fight without authorization, and just stayed behind closed doors.

After all, the damage ranged from a few hundred people to over one thousand or two hundred people each time, but they were unable to break through, and the price was a bit high.

During Hu Yanzhao's life, the palace city of Xixiang was besieged for ten days.

The reinforcements he repeatedly announced to his subjects did not even see a shadow.

And the territory promised to him by General Red has also shrunk by one-third compared to before.

Hu Yanzhao was upset.

Miyagi Castle has sufficient grain and wells everywhere, especially the grain storage is prepared according to the specifications of 3000 people sticking to it for [-] days.When the old man of his family built according to this rule, there were still a bunch of courtiers who objected, saying it was too wasteful.

Now it seems that the old man is wise.

However, no matter how wise the old man is, he can't resist the fact that there are now 3000 people squeezed into Hulala, more than four times more.

More people, more food.

With so many people crammed into the city and unable to get out, and having to eat and drink fat all day long, Hu Yanzhao's heart bleeds.

Worst of all, there is a serious shortage of medicines.

There were more than 4000 wounded in Miyagi, more than 900 were seriously injured, and 300 people died a few days ago because of insufficient medicine or improper first aid.

There were complaints in the palace and morale was low.

Moreover, there is another terrible trouble that the old monarch did not expect:
Defecation of humans and animals.

There are more than 3000 people and more than 2000 horses. Together, they are a full-scale dung-making machine.

In the past, Miyagi had a special Yexiang team that transported them out of the city every day, but now they can't get out.

Hu Yanzhao asked the soldiers to throw their feces down the city gate and hit the Panlong army.

But after being shot and killed more than a dozen people, the soldiers were no longer willing to do so.

It's too, too unworthy to risk your life to dump defecation, not to mention the collection process, it's better to just find a corner in Miyagi...

Therefore, there is a bloody smell everywhere in the palace, and there are mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere, accompanied by the mood of the Xijiao people going down all the way.

Now He Lingchuan is sitting on the roof of a private house with Liu Tiao, Hu Min and others, eating chicken while looking at Miyagi not far away.

"The lights above the city gate are all off." Hu Min said with a smile, "It seems that they have even started to save on oil lamps."

The Broken Knife team performed well in the Dragon Throat Pass mission. In addition to the normal military rewards, He Lingchuan also got the benefits of two roast chickens for his teammates from the quartermaster.There is nothing to do tonight, so everyone will gather together to have a whole chicken feast, replacing wine with water.

The door panel said with a smile: "When the wind direction changes, the stench inside the palace will float out, and no one wants to get close to it. I don't know how people in Xiqiao can sleep with their heads full of dung all day long?"

Willow reached out and pinched a cross on his waist: "It's time to eat, why are you talking about such a disgusting topic!"

Hu Min also said: "I heard that deserters jumped out of the palace city these days, some were shot to death on the spot, and a few managed to sneak over and surrender. The Red General asked them to sit in front of the palace city gate to eat meat and drink, Show it to the townspeople. One sat too close, ate too much, and got shot again."

Liu Tiao asked him: "You have joined the Gale Army for the longest time, did you have to fight the siege for so long before?"

"Ah, there are pros and cons." Hu Min thought for a while, "The longest one, we besieged the city for more than 40 days before we took it down."

Willow said "Oh", and didn't ask any more questions.

He Lingchuan took a bite of the chicken leg.He is the only person here who has participated in the pre-war meeting of the Gange Hall, so he basically knows what the Red General is planning.

"The old monarch of Xiying used the income of the capital for many years to build the palace city like an iron barrel, which is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is said that the defensive talisman has more than ten layers." He explained to his subordinates, "I really want to If we attack by force, I am afraid that we will have to pay for our lives. Therefore, the Red General wants to use siege instead of attack, in exchange for victory at the lowest cost."

Is it just that?The Red General and Zhong Shengguang are not in a hurry, obviously they have more considerations.

And He Lingchuan also has his own doubts:

Why didn't the Red General use the three corpses for this sneak attack on the Xijiao Kingdom?
He heard from Hu Min that the last time he recaptured Weicheng, the Baling army guarding the gate suddenly went berserk and counterattacked his own people, obviously it was the power of the three corpses.

But this raid mission is more important than taking back Weicheng, why are there no traces of the three corpses on the battlefield?
This thing is not afraid of Yuanli, and is not even affected by ordinary spells. It is one of the trump cards of the Red General.

Why did she still use stupid and slow methods to besiege Huyan Zhaojun and his subjects?

He Lingchuan had a strange thought:

Is it useless?
He once asked Sun Fuping a question:
Since the Panlong Army blessed by the Dafang Pot is so powerful, why didn't they fight all the way back to the Xiluo Kingdom, instead sitting in the Panlong Wasteland?
Sun Fuping also had no answer.

Instead, it was the Hei Jiao in the illusion of the Panlong ruins who gave them a sentence:

You can't take it with you.The Dafang Pot is the Panlong City, and the Panlong City is also the Dafang Pot, which have long been connected as one.Not to mention human beings, even gods cannot be taken away.

And Xiyu Kingdom has already left the scope of Panlong Wasteland. Is it because it is beyond the service area, so the three corpses from the Dafang pot can't be brought here?
If the Red General and Zhong Shengguang can't take away the Dafang Pot, then this trip to Xiqiao...

Thinking about the negotiations between the Red General and Hu Yanzhao in the past few days, it always gave He Lingchuan a strange sense of disobedience.She has always been decisive, when will she give people so many chances?
He Lingchuan frowned.

Another five days.

The Panlong Army didn't waste time either, and had already dispatched several troops to occupy the entire territory of Xiqiao to reduce the pressure of fighting in the capital.

During this period, more and more soldiers of Xixiang escaped from the palace in the capital by climbing over the wall. The depression and vitality decline, and the epidemic began to spread inside the tall palace walls.

Originally, there was a lack of medicine in Miyagi, but now it is even worse.Ordinary soldiers have no chance of treatment even if they are infected with the epidemic.

It's better to risk your life and escape, there is still a glimmer of life.

After another five days, even Hu Yanzhao himself was a little confused.

The eyes that the soldiers cast over him were completely different from those of 20 days ago. If there were not some confidants protecting him, there would have been mutiny in the palace early.

Suddenly a rider galloped close to the city, and shouted: "Huyan, come out quickly, your reinforcements are here!"

The guards guarding the city looked down in shock, only to see a big man galloping back and forth down the city on a horse, with a spear held high in his hand, and a bunch of messy human heads, at least five or six of them, all of which were knotted in knots. one place.

This big man is General Nan Ke.

He yelled seven or eight times, until he got impatient. Hu Yanzhao, who was pale, climbed to the top of the city gate. When he looked down, he suddenly felt dizzy:

The string of human heads hanging on General Nan Ke's gun is the generals of the Nanping garrison. From top to bottom, the order is correct.

He has been cheering up everyone in the city, and reinforcements will come sooner or later.

Now reinforcements did come, but not in the way they expected.

With a "dang", the long knife in the hand of a soldier from the top of the city fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

No one paid him any attention.

General Nan Ke looked at Hu Yanzhao and said with a smile: "Our Red General will give you one last chance. If you surrender now, you can still claim the title of Marquis south of the Lugua River. Otherwise—" he shot his spear again, "Next year today, it will be Memorial day for all of you!"

Lugua River?Hu Yanzhao's lips trembled a few times.

Now the territory promised to him by the Red General is less than a quarter of the initial one.

I knew it earlier, I knew it earlier...

General Nan Ke said again: "By the way, since Hu Yanzhao is stubborn, whoever in your city can take off his head and offer it will be rewarded with this!"

There was a gasp in the city.

Cut off Hu Yanzhao's head, not only don't need to continue to be trapped in the city, don't need to continue to starve, don't need to continue to sleep on the edge of the dung pile, but also can go to the south of the Lugua River as a Wanhuhou who can stretch out his clothes and open his mouth to eat?
Even Hu Yanzhao's few cronies flickered at the master.

It's really sad these days in the city, and the new monarch has no way to solve it properly.

Hu Yanzhao only felt that the eyes of the people looking at him were full of malice, like a wolf staring at a sheep, like a cat staring at a fish...

Also like the living looking at the dead.

As long as he reacts a little slower, maybe this group of people can tear him alive in the next second.

"Wait..." Hu Yanzhao saw someone in the back row raising a spear to face him, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly shouted, "I surrender, I surrender!"

He yelled "surrender" first, and he was safe.

General Nan Ke is overjoyed: "Then what are you waiting for, open the city gate!"
