Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 17: Beggar land

   Outside the Northern Pass, the day after the Beicheng battle ended.

   After the whole army has cleaned the battlefield, there are a few more piles of burnt ashes!

   In the future, this piece of land soaked in flesh and blood will grow denser vegetation, and they will continue to follow the cycle of heaven and earth, using this extravagant nourishment to thrive!

   "General, the battle consumption yesterday was not much!" Lu Su talked about the topic again, and he reported to Di Qing last night about the consumption of artillery ammunition!

  Di Qing gave a hum, and continued on the road. Now they are on their way to the little territory in the east!

"Yesterday, only five rounds of artillery were fired. It was only half of a thousand, and the consumption was less than half of a thousand, and there were many supplements sent from the rear!" Lu Su touched his beard and continued: "So, let's go No worries, just go ahead!"

   When Di Qing heard this, he nodded in agreement, and said, "That's it! But the siege is still very expensive!"

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

   But siege war is not like a field battle. The enemy's wall is there. It is impossible to collapse the enemy's wall without artillery. Now Di Qing is feeling a headache for this!

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

  Lu Su is also very troubled with this problem. It will be attacked when it is near, which increases unnecessary casualties, and it consumes ammunition when it is far away. They have to reserve a part of their ammunition to prevent accidents!

   If only there was a tunnel under the enemy's city wall! This is the common voice of the two!

   Because as long as you put gunpowder under the city wall, a little spark can make the whole city wall collapse!

   Unfortunately not, although they can dig tunnels themselves, but with that time, it is better to spend some ammunition to be effective!

   "Hey~! I can only attack!" Lu Su sighed. Even with his wisdom, he couldn't 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, there is nothing to worry about!"

   As the commander-in-chief of the army, he has to be more decisive. As long as he can achieve victory, a little consumption is necessary!

   Lu Su said helplessly: "It can only be done so far, and then I will see if there is a good way!"

   Lu Su is not worried about this ammunition consumption, but is having trouble with himself. Thinking that he is a staff member of the army, but there is no good way to solve the problem, he is a little unwilling!

   After more than a day of marching, and arriving outside the city at noon the next day, I found that the city was actually built along the river. Just like the Apocalypse City, a wide river flows from the northwest to the southeast!

   Seeing such a terrain, Lu Su said: "It would be great if the naval fleet commanded by Li Bao was here!"

  Di Qing squinted at Lu Su and asked, "Even here, it's just a few more artillery pieces. What's the use?"

"Haha~ The general doesn't know. This city has no walls on the river side, but there is a port. If the fleet is here, our army can land on the beach and attack directly from the city!" Lu Su smugly touched the beard of his chin. Explain the tactics to Di Qing.

  Di Qing thought, it’s not wrong to think about it from the perspective of saving ammunition. This can save a lot of ammunition, but the casualties of the soldiers are estimated to be a bit high!

   This tactic is just a chat between the two of them. In fact, what to do or what to do!

   "Order to go down, after a short break in the afternoon, prepare to attack the city in the afternoon!" Di Qing commanded to the soldiers next to him.

   "Yes, General!" Without saying a word, the soldier turned and passed the order!

   The infantry brigade is cooking a fire outside the city, and it’s starting to rest. The powerful inside the city are not in such a good mood!

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

   A nobleman in this realm was trying to persuade the lord of this realm, saying: "Did you see the result of Lord Kevin? The whole person has been taken into custody, and all three knights under him are dead!"

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

"It will be okay, as long as the other party's requirements are met, the other party will let us go!" The noble pledged: "Anyway, it is the enemy that Lord Kevin provoked. He is the culprit. The alliance has to send troops!"

   "Well, you immediately go outside the city, talk to them, and ask, how can you let us go?"

The lord finally reluctantly agreed to surrender. One of his knights died on the battlefield, and another was in front of him, nodding in agreement to surrender.

   And he doesn't have more than three thousand troops. The city has no soldiers to defend. Even if there are soldiers, it will be of no avail in front of the enemy's terrifying weapon that can summon the sky thunder!

The nobleman said with an expression of sacrificing his life: "The subordinates are going!" After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the city, leaving his lord and others with a bleak back. It seems like it's gone forever!

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

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

   I didn’t expect to meet such an interesting person so soon, Di Qing chuckled and said, "Hurry up!"

   Soon this messenger who came to discuss surrender was invited into the military account. To such people who know the current affairs, Di Qing and Lu Su are still very polite!

   "This general already knows the intention of the messenger. I don't know when you will surrender?" This sentence was translated by the intelligence personnel and conveyed to the other party.

   The nobleman bowed his head and bowed his waist, saying: "General/Knight, the villain is here to discuss the surrender on behalf of the lord!"

   "Oh? There are still conditions? Tell me!" Di Qing asked curiously. Under such circumstances, what conditions can the other party have to talk about!

   The nobleman continued to bow his head and said, "Lord Lord said~www.wuxiahere.com~ As long as you don't hurt him who still has territory, don't plunder his territory, if you have any other requirements, you can just mention it!"

   This nobleman has added one to the conditions without authorization, that is, the condition that cannot harm the nobleman!

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

   Di Qing continued: "There is no problem, but this general leads a large army, and there is a lot of consumption. Therefore, your territory will take 50 carts of food out, and this general will immediately retreat!"

   Then the intelligence personnel translated for the nobleman, how much food is there in a cart!

   This nobleman was dumbfounded on the spot when he heard the request. One hundred thousand catties of grain is not a small figure. He is a little afraid to agree to such a large amount of grain, but he is even more afraid of the opponent's attack!

   He had no choice but to cautiously request: "Return to Lord General. With so much food, the little one can't be the master. After the little one goes back to discuss with the Lord Lord, I will report back to the Lord General!"

   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, said.

   "Before dark today, this general needs to know the answer!"
