Beads of sweat began to appear on He Lanlu's head. He looked at the black robe motionless, and did not even look at the fighting outside the city. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "So, Liu Yu is preparing
After the city is broken, all the surviving barbarians will be dispersed and made into households, or even confiscated as slaves?"
The black robe sneered: "If this were not the case, how could Murong Lan leave him and stand by us regardless of the relationship he had for many years? Even our last request was that he let go of the siege and let the
We took a boat back to our hometown in Liaodong, but we didn’t agree. Mr. Helan, do you think that with Liu Yu’s purpose, if he really captures the city, he will only deal with our Murong tribe and let your Helan tribe go?"
He Lanlu opened his mouth slightly, and finally sighed: "This time, I think you have no reason to lie to me. Murong Lan did not leave the city with Liu Yu, which is the best proof. Moreover, the battle is over
In this way, even if Liu Yu agrees, those Jin troops will not let us go. I have no other choice but to fight to the death. This is what I told you just now, so there is no need for you to keep testing me like this.
.”
"Just like my good brother Helan Harimu, he offended you because he spoke uprightly and served the country. As a result, he was imprisoned and almost died. But this time after he was released, he did not complain at all, performed his duties loyally, and even served the country.
He sacrificed his life because he was a real warrior. Anyway, Dayan took us in when our Helan clan was in trouble. Then we have to repay this kindness. Moreover, only by guarding the city can we have a way to survive. This
You don’t need to teach us the truth.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "But you still leave some room, just like Helan Harimu. He just defended the city and didn't think about how to use the most ruthless means to cause the maximum casualties to the Jin army. I know that these are all
Because you have given secret orders, even now, you are only guarding the city as usual, and the real ruthless moves have not been used yet."
The corners of Helan Lu's mouth twitched slightly: "What do you mean by this? We have tried our best and used all the means we can. You still say that we didn't use harsh measures. This deserves our congratulations."
A soldier who died in the battle? Is he worthy of Harimu?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Because you all still want to leave a way out for yourself. Those cruel tactics and destructive weapons of mass destruction have been useless. What you want is to fight against the Jin army.
Leave some room, and if they don’t attack the city with force, you won’t use these big weapons, right?”
He Lanlu's eyes were shining and he didn't reply.
The black robe said coldly: "Just like Helan Harimu, when he was in Dongcheng, I gave him good things like sulfur, saltpeter, and poisonous smoke. I even gave him ten barrels of black demon water to give him the necessary
When the time came, he used it to massacre the Jin army's siege troops. In the end, he didn't use any of these and just relied on wooden carriages to transport troops to the city. In the end, the Jin army used lime and black demon water to break through.
He gave him those wooden carriages that were promoted to the city, do you think he was tricked to death by your big brother who wanted to fall on both sides?!"
Helan Lu gritted his teeth: "What does this have to do with me? Harimu has always been an upright soldier. He disdains to use your damaging moves that hurt the enemy by one thousand and damage himself by eight hundred. You also used the black demon water in Linqu."
, have you won the battle? What’s more, I used black demonic water when I defended the city this time when the city gate was breached, why didn’t I try my best?”
The black robe curled up his lips: "It's not enough. At least, have you used the gold soup and iron juice? Now the Jin army obviously wants to achieve a breakthrough from the city gate, and the direction they are attacking is not the city.
The gate, but here, the city wall!"
He Lanlu's eyes narrowed slightly: "My sentry guard in the wall is always watching. The wall of this southern city is so high, more than three feet, and is made of solid stone. Even if
Even trebuchets and ballistae can't penetrate it. If they approach with ladders or siege towers, we can easily go up to the city through wooden carriages to defend it. This city tower, with me personally in charge, is even more impregnable. What's the benefit?
worried!"
The black robe sighed softly: "It seems fortunate that I came here, Helan Lu, probably your thoughts are all on how to get in touch with Liu Yu and negotiate the conditions for opening the city to release water, but you are actually right
Are you turning a blind eye to the situation on the battlefield and the immediate danger?"
He Lanlu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "That's nonsense. I have been defending here with all my strength, how can I relax? Look behind the city gate, I have deployed 500 soldiers and 300 crossbowmen.
There are also four eight-bow divine crossbows, which are used to deal with the Jin army who want to break in. I even have the remaining five barrels of black demon water ready and can be used at any time when the Jin army attacks the city gate.
, I will turn him into a sea of fire again, leaving no trace of their corpses!"
The black robe shook his head: "You know how to stare at the city gate and don't think about the Jin army. You were a fool. The last time you broke into the city, you were burned by black fire. Are you going to die again this time? Don't look at them carrying sandbags and earthbags.
They are so diligent, but that is just to cover up their true intention, which is to attack the city!"
He Lanlu's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked outside the city, glanced left and right, and sneered: "You are talking too much here again. The nearest siege ladder is three hundred steps away. What kind of city wall should we attack?"
Ah, is it possible that their Jin army can still fly up!"
The black robe sighed softly: "It's no wonder that in order to protect yourself, you huddled in this safe position without looking at the situation under the city wall. Who told you that if the Jin army wanted to attack the city wall, then
Must we rely on ladders and siege towers?”
Helan Lu's expression changed, he stood up, walked about ten steps to the right, and said to a pipe that went directly to the ground below the city head: "Erdanzi, show me what the Jin army is doing under the city wall, is it right?"
Are you digging tunnels or destroying city walls?"
After a while, a voice came from the pipe: "Sir, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the Jin army are throwing the earth bags and sandbags blocking the city gate to the base of the city wall. It is already more than a foot high. I didn't look at anything else.
arrive."
Cold sweat broke out on He Lanlu's head, and he murmured: "Damn it, why didn't I think of this? The sandbags blocking the door can be piled under the city to increase the height. In this way, wouldn't the Jin army be able to stand directly on it and use ropes or even
Just climb up the city using human ladders."
A hint of killing intent flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Master Helan, now that things have happened, your iron juice and golden soup should also come into play."
