Chapter 36 Siege
"Your Majesty, this is what my subordinates have just reported. (23w[x] Because these people did not get off the ship from the Seoul Wharf, your subordinates did not see it."
"What you said is true? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ji Dan grabbed Ji Yang's arm and his eyes widened.
"I just knew that my subordinates were arrested by people from the Great King City. I just managed to escape." Ji Yang hurriedly defended. Ji Dan was a very suspicious person. If he misunderstood, no matter whether he was a brother or not, the final outcome would definitely lead to a miserable death.
"Repay, king. There are many strange carriages like Han people coming outside the city. They seem to... seem to be here to take revenge." A warrior ran over in a panic and knelt on the ground to report to Ji Dan.
"I'm here so quickly. Let's go up to the city wall and take a look. I'll inform the brothers of the Shi family to prepare and tell them I'll give them double the reward."
Ji Dan flew on a horse and ran out of the palace with his entourage guards.
Yun Xiao did not take the marching method of a large brigade. He personally led the cavalry to pull the three-bow bed crossbow and rushed to the outside of Jicheng. Each city gate had eight three-bow bed crossbows lined up in a row. The squeaking sound of the winch was like a piece. Yun Xiao looked at the walls of Jicheng and spitted.
The walls of Jicheng are far from the Great King City. The walls are not made of stone, but rammed with earth, and the moat outside the city is not wide enough. Looking at the soldiers on the city, they all saw their teams panic. Even the army in the Great King City was not as good as those in the Great King City. No wonder before I arrived, the Great King City had a tendency to unify the peninsula.
"The three-bow crossbow gunpowder bullets are on the crossbow, and the one who fires one person in turn is not allowed to walk out of the city wall." Yun Xiao issued an order on a high slope. This is the highest place outside the Great King City.
The city gates on all sides were quickly blocked by the black-armored warrior and the three-bow crossbow. Yun Xiao had a cruel plan in his mind.
"Tell the Eagle to capture all the Benhan people you met along the way. Don't leave any of them, go quickly."
"No!" A messenger ran away.
"I thought there was something amazing. It turned out that there were only a few hundred people. Even if all the people from the city gate were combined, they were only two or three thousand. Why be so panicked? Let's rush out with the help of the troops." Ji Dan said confidently.
Jicheng is different from Dawang City. Jicheng is a completely military city. Except for the Ji royal family, the remaining 60,000 people in the city are all military soldiers. On weekdays, they collect tax and grain from the scattered villages. Then they transport it to Jicheng for storage, according to their daily reserves. The grain in Jicheng can be eaten for at least half a year.
Five thousand people can kill 50,000 people, so half of his 60,000 army can deal with these two or three thousand Han people. Ji Dan had silently compared the number of people to ten to one. He was even thinking about the scene of ten people slashing around one person on the battlefield.
The city gates on all sides opened and countless soldiers from Jicheng rushed out.
"Start!" a black-armored warrior shouted.
A black shadow dragged a blue smoke toward the city gate of Jicheng. A violent explosion sounded loudly among the crowds of people in the city gate. Then there was the second, the third..., and the gunpowder crossbow exploded one after another in the city gate.
The soldiers of Jicheng who had just arrived at the city gate flew everywhere, and the rammed earth wall was covered with flesh and blood. The ground was covered with corpses and broken limbs and broken arms. Almost in a moment, the soldiers who squeezed into the city gate wanted to get out were completely lost.
The corpses in the city gate were two feet thick. The soldiers behind had to step on the corpses and rushed out. But as soon as they rushed into the city gate, something deadly exploded. Soon, blood almost soaked every inch of the ground in the city gate.
The beasts of the three brothers of the Shi family were frightened and jumped and flew around when they heard such a huge explosion. The three brothers of the Shi family were panicked and controlled their beasts. But how could the frightened beasts so easy to collect?
Ji Dan was almost frightened to sit on the ground when he saw this scene. He had seen such explosive things when he ambushed the Han people. But he didn't expect that the Han people could send this thing so far.
"Your Majesty, the city gates are blocked by corpses. We can't leave the city!" Ji Yang ran in with a gray face and told Ji Dan about a unfortunate news that they were blocked in the city.
"Pack up the corpse and close the city gate. Humph, we can eat food for at least eight months. If we have sex, we will block us day and night for eight months." Ji Dan glanced at the black-armored warrior outside and said hatefully.
In fact, Yun Xiao was not ready to spend eight months with him. The huge city gate had just closed. Eight three-bow crossbows were fired together, accompanied by a violent roar. The city gate made of pine wood turned into pieces of debris and splashed in all directions. Wood stubble splashed into the city gate hole, killing and injuring the soldiers of Jicheng who were collecting corpses.
"Hurry, guard the city gate. They are going to attack the city!" Ji Dan was shocked when he saw this scene and hurriedly ordered people to block the city gate and prevent Yun Xiao's people from rushing in.
"Marty, I will rush in with my brothers." The little bear spitted, picked up the mace and said to Yun Xiao.
"The corpses in the city gate are piled up three feet thick. How can you rush in? Stay honestly, Xiaohu's revenge is not the way to avenge Xiaohu. I will use a more cruel way to avenge Xiaohu."
The blood in the city gate tunnel meandered and the moat water near the city gate was dyed blood red. Seeing that Yun Xiao had just blown up the city gate, Ji Dan let down his heart slightly. He hurriedly ordered people to install wooden fences behind the pile of corpses. At this moment, he realized that these corpses could prevent their people from going out, and naturally they could prevent the Han people from coming in.
"They can't get out, so let the brothers take turns to watch. Especially for the protection of someone climbing out of the city wall at night. The three-bow bed crossbows are replaced with ordinary crossbow arrows. As long as anyone climbs down the city wall, they will nail them to the city wall."
Yun Xiao and I had no plans to attack the city, and now they only had two or three thousand men. The brigade of infantry was following slowly. At this time, even if we could win by chance, we would definitely suffer heavy losses.
The sky gradually darkened, and a silver moon hung high above the sky like a disc. Ji Dan hated the full moon to death. The cold moonlight shone brightly on Ji City. Ji Dan organized people to climb down the wall several times, but was shot like a target by the three-bow crossbow.
Dozens of guys were nailed to the city wall by sharp spears, and those who came down under the city wall were shot into hedgehogs by iron-tied crossbows with extremely long range.
"I don't believe that the moon will always be so round." Ji Dan looked at the Yin Moon in the sky and slapped the city wall fiercely. He said with a slight slap in the gate. Although he was stubborn, Ji Dan felt a little uneasy. What if the other party really surrounded him for eight months? Should he starve to death or go out to surrender?
The guards of the Yun family were leisurely cooking noodles, and the big pot was steaming. Large pieces of beef jerky were put in, and the whole city outside Jicheng was filled with the fragrance of boiled beef noodles.
The bear drank rice wine and looked at everyone on the city wall viciously. After the fourth uncle arrived, he killed all the people in front of him in one go. He used the heads of Ji Dan and the three brothers of the Shi family to comfort his brother.
Yun Xiao and some wine, lie on the four-wheeled carriage and slept peacefully for one night. He knew that Ji Dan couldn't rush out, and he was not qualified to climb down from the city wall. There were five hundred iron-tied crossbows waiting for him on each city wall.
The long night finally passed, and both sides of the battlefield seemed to be very tired. The sun finally poked its head out of the horizon, and another sunny day. A good day for killing.
After just having breakfast, the vanguard of the goshawk had arrived. Yun Xiao stretched his waist and asked the new soldiers to sleep instead of the soldiers who had guarded the whole night yesterday. It was very hard to stay up all night, and it was serious to have a full sleep.
Yun Xiao rode his horse to patrol Jicheng. Last night, he looked very busy. Dozens of unlucky guys were nailed to the walls on all sides. There were hundreds of corpses under the city that were shot like hedgehogs. It seemed that the full moon in the sky really helped him a lot.
