Directly attacking with artillery will cause danger to the "lord" in the castle, but the explosion will be different!

As long as one or several gaps are blown out, there will be no suspense left!

After hearing the order, the artillery brought a wooden barrel and, under the protection of the infantry, approached the dilapidated castle, and under a wall, a bag of gunpowder was piled extensively.

Regardless of the tide, ignite the lead and let the soldiers around retreat. Anyway, the people inside will definitely hide away and are not afraid of being bombed to death.

With a "boom~", a big hole appeared on one of the walls of the castle, and the infantry rushed in with their shields.

After a few more screams, there was silence...

"Let me go! I am the lord, you can't treat me like this! Oh..."

A white old man wearing dyed cloth was tied up by the soldiers, and he kept shouting words that he couldn't understand until the soldiers stuffed them into his mouth with a ball of unknown things that they didn't know, and the man calmed down.

After a while, there was a group of people from all sizes, young and old, men and women behind them and were tied up.

The soldiers followed the order and captured all the people in the castle except those who resisted!

"General, these people were brought out from the castle in the city!" A small team leader pointed to the crowd tied behind him and reported to Di Qing.

Di Qing looked at the clothes of these people, nodded, and ordered: "Very good! Let all the intelligence personnel come over!"

"General!" The intelligence personnel came soon, and they were on standby behind.

Di Qing nodded, pointed at the bound people with a horse whip, and said, "Ask, who are these people!"

"Yes, General!" After clasping his fists, the intelligence personnel turned around and came to the group of people. When they saw Kevin who was blocked, they stepped forward and took off the things from Kevin's mouth.

"I am the lord, you can't treat me like this, you..." Before the intelligence officer asked, Kevin revealed his identity.

The intelligence officer faced Di Qing again and clasped his fists and said, "This man said he is the lord!"

Di Qing said oh and said happily: "Then ask him again, he put all his food there, and also, ask him what he thought, how could he provoke an enemy who didn't know anything?"

The intelligence personnel turned around and translated Di Qing's words. Kevin snorted with a pale face, turned his head and stopped making noise!

Now, without translation, Di Qing also knew the attitude of this person. He exclaimed, laughed, and said to the intelligence officer: "I have left these people to you. As long as you don't kill them, you can do whatever else. Remember, this general only wants food now!"

Since this so-called lord is so backbone, he respects the other party's qualities and lets the other party "enjoy" his "admiration"!

Di Qing looked at the captives who were taken down and was no longer interested. Instead, he ordered: "Drive all the people in the city out of the city!"

He didn't want these civilians to fight against the soldiers to protect one or two food. Moreover, plundering was a disgraceful thing. If no one saw it, the soldiers would not have such great psychological pressure!

The soldiers followed the orders, and the cavalry on both sides also opened the city gates and refused to let these people enter the city again.

This person was kicked out of no matter how many people were kicked out of the city. It was too late to be happy to be kicked out of the city, so why would they go back? They were really scared by the sound of artillery, power, and the ferocity of the Xia Kingdom soldiers!

The soldiers would not wait for them to clean up the fines and then drive them away, so when these people were driven out of the city, they didn't carry much items at all, and the rest were all in the city!

"Well, it's almost done!" Di Qing looked at the sky. It was already afternoon and it was almost dark. He ordered: "Start harvest!"

The order was issued, and the soldiers and the militia behind them all rushed into the small town and began to search!

Empty carriages were also driven into the small town, and not long after, full carriages came out.

Lu Su stopped a carriage, looked at the food inside, and asked the groom, "Where did this food come from?"

The groom replied: "All these were shipped out of the castle in the middle of the city!"

Lu Su waved his hand and asked the carriage to continue driving. He thought to himself, this is the lord's food, and it was all confiscated!

After a while, it was completely dark. Di Qing ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the sound of a gong of "公司" sounded from behind.

The so-called "When you hear the drum, you will move forward, and you will sing the gold to withdraw your troops! This gold refers to the gong!

In the main account in the evening, Lu Su handed Di Qing the military report counted today and said, "General, today's harvest is quite good, but the ammunition is consumed very much!"

狄青接过军报一看,还真是!

The military newspaper shows that there are no soldiers killed in today's battle, only a dozen slightly injured.

It seemed that all the enemies were concentrated on the east and south walls, preparing to resist their attack, but unfortunately they were all buried in the end!

The second is the harvest of food. In addition to the dozen carriages found in the castle, there are more or less a few carriages in other mansions.

All of them have thirty-two trucks, which is 64 tons of grain! At this point, I still haven't plundered those grain shops and private houses.

Because it was already very late today, Di Qing ordered people to search for these places with obvious food and other sporadic places first. It would not be too late to search for them tomorrow and tomorrow!

Di Qing looked at the last item about ammunition consumption, and frowned and said, "Did you consume so much ammunition today?"

Lu Su spread his hands helplessly and replied: "I hope I saw it wrong, but that's the truth!"

Di Qing frowned even more and said, "But there are too many, this is half of the entire army's inventory!"

"In fact, there is not much ammunition left!" Lu Su added: "General, don't forget the consumption of the battle two days ago!"

Looking at Di Qing's frowning look, Lu Su explained: "A single launch of an siege cannon will consume ten kilograms of gunpowder. Although the consumption of a field cannon is small, it is not much smaller. General, do you think, how many cannons have we fired?"

Di Qing made up his mind, was very surprised, and sighed, "More than 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder are gone!"

"Yes! We only have more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder left, and the shells and gunpowder are not enough to consume a battle!" Lu Su also sighed.

I didn't think anything when I fired the gun, but now I think about it, these cannons are amazingly powerful, but their consumption is even more amazing!

Lu Su thought for a while and said, "General, we can only report to you truthfully. I hope there is enough ammunition in the country that can withstand our consumption!"

Di Qing put down the military newspaper in his hand and agreed helplessly: "That's all!"
