Outside the Northern Pass, the day after the battle in the North City ended.

After the entire army cleaned the battlefield, there were a few more piles of burning ashes on this land!

In the future, this land soaked in flesh and blood will grow denser vegetation, and they will continue to follow the cycle of heaven and earth, and use this luxurious nutrition to reproduce!

"General, yesterday's battle was not consumed much!" Lu Su talked about this topic again. Last night he reported to Di Qing about the ammunition consumption of artillery!

Di Qing nodded and continued to rush the road. Now they are on their way to the small territory in the east!

"Yesterday, only five rounds of artillery fired, only half of one thousand, and the consumption was less than half of one thousand, and there were many supplements sent from the rear!" Lu Su touched his beard and continued: "In this way, we have no worries anymore and can move forward bravely!"

When Di Qing heard this, he nodded in agreement and continued: "That's true! But the siege still costs a lot of ammunition!"

Di Qing also knew that yesterday's battle was a big victory, and even casualties were negligible. The utilization rate of artillery was maximized and the consumption of ammunition was reduced by half!

But siege is not as good as field battles. The enemy's city wall is placed there, and it is impossible to collapse the enemy's city wall without artillery. Now Di Qing is having a headache about this matter!

How can we use as little ammunition as possible to destroy the enemy's city walls?

Lu Su was also very worried about this issue. He would be attacked when he was close, which would increase unnecessary casualties. When he was far away, he would consume ammunition. Some of their ammunition should be reserved to prevent accidents!

It would be great if there was a tunnel under the enemy's city wall! This is the common voice of the two!

Because as long as gunpowder is placed under the city wall, a little spark can cause the entire city wall to collapse!

Unfortunately, although they can dig tunnels themselves, it would be better to spend some ammunition to make it effective if they have that time!

"Oh~! I can only attack!" Lu Su sighed. Even with his wisdom, he would not think of any effective way for a while!

Di Qing also sighed and said, "As long as there is a harvest, the consumption of ammunition is necessary, and there is nothing to worry about!"

As the commander of the First Army, he must be more decisive. As long as he can win, it is still necessary to consume a little!

Lu Su said helplessly: "There is only this at the moment. Let's see if there is a good solution!"

Lu Su was not worried about the consumption of this ammunition, but was not able to get along with him. As a military adviser, he had no good way to solve the problem, so he was a little unwilling to accept it!

After more than a day of march, I arrived outside the city of this territory at noon the next day and found that the city was built along the river, just like the city of Apocalypse, a wide river flowed from outside the northwest to southeast!

Seeing this terrain, Lu Su said: "I wish it would be the naval fleet under Commander Li Bao here!"

Di Qing glanced at Lu Su with a squinted look and asked, "Even if it is added here, it is just a few cannons. What's the use?"

"Haha~ General doesn't know that there is no wall on the side of the river, but there is a port. If the fleet is here, our army can land on the beach and launch an attack directly from the city!" Lu Su proudly touched his chin's beard and explained the tactics to Di Qing.

Di Qing thought, it was okay to think from the perspective of saving ammunition alone. This would save a lot of ammunition, but the casualties of the soldiers were probably a bit too big!

This tactic is just a chat between them, and in fact, it should be done as it should!

"Give me instructions, after a little rest in the afternoon, prepare to attack the city in the afternoon!" Di Qing ordered to the personal soldiers beside him.

"Yes, General!" Without saying a word, the personal soldier turned around and sent an order!

The infantry brigade was making fire outside the city and cooking, and it was about to rest. The powerful and powerful in the city were not in such a good mood!

"Lord, surrender! We can't win, the army of 13,000 people has lost!"

A nobleman in this territory was persuading the lord of this territory and said, "Did you see the result of Lord Kevin? He was taken into custody, and all three knights under him were dead!"

The lord said bitterly: "I know, but will we be fine if we surrender?"

"It will definitely be fine. As long as the other party's request is met, the other party will let us go!" The nobleman promised confidently: "Anyway, it is the enemy caused by Lord Kevin, who is the culprit. We just had to send troops due to the alliance!"

"Okay, you go out of the city immediately, talk to them, and ask, how can you let us go?"

The lord finally agreed to surrender helplessly. One of his knights died in battle, and another one was in front of him, nodding in agreement to surrender.

Moreover, he had no more than 3,000 troops, and now there was no soldiers to defend the city. Even if there were soldiers, it would be useless in front of the enemy's terrible weapon that could summon heavenly thunder!

The nobleman said with a sacrificial expression: "I'm going now!" After that, he turned around happily and walked out of the city, leaving a bleak back for his lord and others, as if he had gone there forever!

Outside the city, Di Qing and Lu Su learned that they were sent to discuss surrender, and they looked at each other unexpectedly. They thought that the people in this world were all stubborn!

I thought that these forces would only rely on their lord status and the confidence that their territory would not be occupied, and they would all resist to the end!

Unexpectedly, he met such a tactful person so soon. Di Qing smiled and said, "Come on now!"

Soon the envoy who came to discuss surrender was invited into the military tent. Di Qing and Lu Su were still very polite to those who knew the current affairs like this!

"I already know the purpose of the messenger. I don't know when your party will open the city to surrender?" This was translated and conveyed to the other party by the intelligence personnel.

The nobleman bowed his head and bowed, saying, "General Knight, the villain, on behalf of the Lord, came to discuss the surrender!"

"Oh? There are still conditions? Tell me!" Di Qing asked curiously. In this case, what conditions would the other party have to say!

The noble continued to bow his head and said, "The Lord said, as long as you don't hurt the nobles who still have territory, don't plunder his territory. If you have any other requirements, you can just raise them!"

This nobleman added one of the conditions that could not harm the nobleman!

After hearing this, Di Qing smiled at Lu Su, and Lu Su nodded at him with a smile.

Di Qing continued: "No problem, but I have consumed a lot of money by leading a large army, so you can take fifty trucks of food out of your territory, and I will lead the troops back immediately!"

Then the intelligence personnel translated the nobleman how much food is in a truck of food!

When the nobleman heard the request, he was stunned on the spot. One hundred thousand kilograms of food was not a small number. He was a little afraid of agreeing to such a lot of food, but he was even more afraid of the other party's attack!

He had to ask carefully: "Report to General, there is so much food, the young one can't make the decision. After the young one goes back to discuss with the Lord, we will report to you!"

Di Qing waved his hand indifferently and agreed to the other party's small request, but in order to prevent the other party from delaying time, he gave a deadline, saying.

"Before dark today, I will know the answer!"
