Chapter 969 I boost morale for the army
The enemy's attack did not come immediately as expected, as if they were not in a hurry to retake Tongyangtai City. After dark, a team of cavalry came from a distance and shouted at the city for a while, probably to ask the people on the city wall to tell the general of the Western Frontier to talk to Jiuzhou. If they promised to give up La Liga City and hand over the chief gang of Tongyangtai City, Chen Leng, to report to Emperor Daning. Since then, Ning will pay a large amount of tax tribute to the Western Region Alliance every year, then the three thousand Ningbian border troops besieged in Tongyangtai City can be released.
Just as these people were shouting, the gate of La Liga City creaked open, and a Qianban, wearing the black armor of the Tingwei Mansion, walked out of the city gate with a chair, alone, strode to the people who were shouting, and the people retreated immediately.
Chen Leng pulled a chair and sat down at the city gate. The cold and graceful face made people feel chilled.
"I am a subordinate of the General of the Xijiang River in Daning. I am ordered to talk to you."
Chen Leng sat there, and he knew in his heart that the so-called Western Region Alliance would not attack Tongyangtai City for the time being. They thought that it was the bargaining chip that they had already held in their hands, and those people were not fools. Of course, they knew that Daning could not agree to their conditions, so the only reasonable explanation was that the people of the Western Regions were still waiting, and they could not imagine what they had to wait for.
Chen Leng is not a god who can do it, even if it is a real person who claims to do it, it cannot do it. Just when he is about to launch an attack on Tongyangtai City, the so-called alliance of the Western Regions countries started arguing.
King Houque, King Jinhou, and the envoy of the Anxu Kingdom who had not left, Qi Nie Go, King Tubo, and kings of more than a dozen small countries in the Western Regions were quarreling.
The meaning of the Tubo King and others was to ask the Houque King to immediately order an attack on Tongyangtai City and destroy 3,000 Ningbian troops to increase morale. As long as this battle is fought well and kill 3,000 Ning troops, the morale of the Western Regions coalition will surely be greatly boosted.
But the King of Houque disagreed and insisted on waiting for King Lou Ran to come.
The Tubo king was furious: "You just can't bear to leave your troops!"
The Houque King looked indifferent: "Everything you said is good, I just acted according to the agreement. Everyone agreed at the beginning. King Lou Ran led a million troops to come. The first battle was handed over to Lou Ran to fight. If I fight, wouldn't it be my fault for King Lou Ran to come? Everyone expressed their opinions at that time. If King Lou Ran really brought millions of people, he would be the leader of the alliance. If he doesn't come, I won't fight."
Qi Nie Nie frowned: "Ningguo is not prepared now, and it is the best opportunity to break through La Liga City in one go. If it is dragged on, it will inevitably lead to Ning army's support. If Ning ** team gathers here at that time, let alone La Liga City, you can't even get Tongyangtai City."
The Houque King snorted: "Is it your turn to speak here?"
Originally, he was quite polite to Qi Nie Go when he was in Tubo, but this time the Western Region Alliance army had reached hundreds of thousands, and none of the soldiers agreed to have arrived. The Houque King had any good face.
Qi Nie Nie's face changed, his eyes were filled with murderous aura.
"What I look down upon most is the untrustworthy people. Most of the people have already done what they had agreed to do. Although King Louran has not arrived yet, it is because he is the farthest away and the millions of troops are moving slowly. His army has entered my back and will be able to come in seven or eight days. I have provided a lot of food and supplies to King Louran's millions of troops, and I have done everything I should do."
The king of Houque glanced at Qi Nie Go: "It's not like some people, they say something that is full of splendors, but when it's time to do something, there is no expression. Qi Nie Go, didn't you say that there would be at least 200,000 troops in the Absolute people? Don't say 200,000, you have 20,000 people. I will attack Tongyangtai City tonight. If you don't come, you still want to point fingers. I really think the face I gave you can't be taken back?"
Qi Nie He snorted coldly but didn't say anything.
King Jinlong smiled embarrassedly: "Everyone is all ally, why bother to hurt the harmony?
If this happens, you will fight Tongyangtai City first. After all, that is your border town. Now that it is in the hands of Ningren, the whole country in Houque will feel ashamed. Let’s fight back first.”
"I want to hit you."
The king of Houque said: "If you are willing to fight, I will tear off my troops and hand over the camp to you."
The Golden King was stunned for a moment: "It's nothing to do with me."
A group of people quarreled for a long time, but in the end there was no decision. The city belonged to Houque, so other countries naturally would not send troops to fight. Everyone knew that Ningbian army was not easy to mess with. Three thousand border troops defended the city. Maybe there would be several times more soldiers than Ningbian army died in battle under Tongyangtai City. The Houque King himself didn't fight. Why did they fight?
In the end, although no one said anything, maybe he had agreed to the idea of King Houque. Anyway, King Lou Ran's so-called million-dollar army is cannon fodder, so just wait, it will only take seven or eight days.
But when I waited, I couldn't be idle, so I arranged for people to go out to La Liga to speak.
Shen Leng sat there looking at the person who was shouting: "Don't be so far away, come to talk in front of me."
The person in charge of calling is just a lieutenant. No matter how he can make the decision, even if he can make the decision, he would not dare to sit at the gate of La Liga and talk to you personally. The feather arrows on the city wall can shoot him at a hedgehog in an instant.
"You can't talk? Go and find someone who can talk to you."
Shen Leng stood up and picked up the chair again. After his movement, the Western Regions people hurriedly retreated again.
Shen Leng carried the chair and strode forward: "If you are afraid of the strong bow and crossbow on La Liga, I will take care of you. I will go out of the range of the feather arrows on the city wall to talk to you. I will not enter the city tonight, just wait here. Whoever can make the decision will come and talk. If you don't dare, don't let someone come to call you in the future."
He really walked with a chair and walked to about two hundred steps away from the city wall before stopping. At this distance, ordinary feather arrows could no longer be shot.
Shen Leng, who sat down again, inserted the black thread knife aside and waved behind him: "Go to another chair, what if someone comes to talk to me."
Black-eyed came out of the city gate with a chair in his arms, his face looking very bad: "You are so chaotic."
Shen Leng shook his head: "Three thousand border troops were surrounded, and the morale in La Liga City is not good. If the morale of the army is not boosted, it will be difficult to fight at the beginning of the battle. Everyone feels panic and is worried about the brothers in Tongyangtai City. I have to do something."
He snorted, put down the chair opposite him, and stood beside Shen Leng: "I'll accompany you."
Shen Leng shook his head: "You go back."
Black-eyed snorted: "I don't mean, what can you do?"
Shen Leng sighed lightly, but he couldn't persuade him even though he knew.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. A general in the Western Regions, wearing heavy armor, came with a team of cavalry, stopped not far away, sat on the horse's back and looked at Shen Leng: "Are you Shen Leng?"
"I'm not."
Chen Leng replied: "I am an ordinary soldier from Daning, my name is Li Tuming."
The general of the Western Regions changed slightly: "Since you are not Shen Leng or talking about Jiuzhou, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us?"
"Daning never negotiates. I sit here just to hear what you are saying. Do you have the courage to shout a few times at a distance under the city, but to make it clear in front of me, my name is unknown. If you don't have the courage to say it in front of me, why ask General Tan to say it? I'm afraid you won't even dare to show off in front of General Tan."
Chen Leng pointed to the chair opposite: "If you dare to say something, sit down, if you don't dare, get out."
The general of the Western Regions jumped off his horse's back and walked over: "I am Karasuno, the general of Houque State, and the third-rank general. I am here on behalf of my king. Today I will sit down in front of you and say, I will see what you can do."
He walked to Chen Leng, looked down at Chen Leng: "You don't even dare to take off your armor?"
Chen Leng: "You don't care."
After thinking about it, I added: "It's okay to pick it, ten thousand taels of silver."
Karasuno Tu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to believe that Chen Leng was serious about asking for money.
Karasunotu sat down and deliberately sat upright. Several personal soldiers stood behind him, without leaving the hilt of the knife.
Chen Leng looked at Karasunotu. Although he was sitting there, Karasunotu's hand did not leave the scimitar on his waist. Chen Leng's knife was inserted on one side. If there was any accident, it was obviously not as fast as the other party's drawing the knife.
"Tell me."
Cold road.
Karasuno Tu looked at Chen Leng. The face armor was indeed very fierce. I didn’t know what kind of ferocious beast was portrayed on the face armor. The green face and fangs made people feel uncomfortable when they saw it, and their pores expanded in waves.
"First, Emperor Ning needs to apologize to the alliance and write a decree for guilt. Second, Ningguo pays tribute to the countries of our alliance every year, and the amount is to be determined. Third, first hand over all the supplies in La Liga City and La Liga City, especially heavy armored weapons and armor. The heavy armor in Xijiang must roll naked, fourth."
Chen Leng raised his hand and waved it: "Wait a minute."
He pointed to Karasunotu's bent over: "Take your knife out."
Tu Karasuno was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Chen Leng said, "Don't you dare?"
Tu Karasuno was angry: "Are you still afraid of you?"
He pulled out the scimitar: "So what?"
Chen Leng stretched out his right hand and held the black line knife inserted not far away. Karasunotu seemed to see a flash of fierce light in those eyes through the hole in the eyes of Chen Leng's face armor. He immediately cut down at Chen Leng. The black line knife that Chen Leng, who was two feet away from Chen Leng, arrived first. The knife slashed in from one side of Karasunotu's neck, and then cut out from the other side in an instant. The head shaking first, and then it flew up with blood.
"Stop saying that I bully you, let you pull out the knife first."
Chen Leng inserted the black thread knife back into the scabbard.
He looked at the soldiers of Houque Kingdom who were so scared that they took a few steps back: "Go back and tell you His Majesty the King, the person he sent was not good and had a bad mouth. I couldn't hold on until he finished speaking and changed it to another one."
Chen Leng still sat there, as if she had never moved.
"Come on someone who speaks humans."
Chen Leng closed his eyes: "Let's go."
The remaining soldiers looked at each other, but none of them dared to fight to the death. I don’t know if they were afraid of the general with green face and fangs, or the Wan Crossbow on La Liga City behind the general. They bent down to move Karasunotu’s body back. Chen Leng clearly did not open his eyes, but seemed to see them: “Leave the heads and take the body back.”
Heiyan went over and picked up Karasunotu's head and placed it on Shen Leng's side.
Chen Leng opened his eyes and looked at the people and said in a plain tone: "Just treat it as an appetizer before the war, or as entertainment. When you go back, tell all the kings of the Western Regions that my name is Li Tuming. I want to be a marquis of Wanhu and need to accumulate heads, so I sit here and wait. There must be thousands of warriors in your alliance. I won't leave tonight. I will continue anyone who comes. I deserve it. You deserve it. Your people will kill me. I deserve it. The people on the city wall will not shoot arrows at you or make things difficult."
Chen Leng closed his eyes again: "I'm waiting here. Those who come next time remember to bring a hairpin here, gold, silver and jade. As long as the hairpin is not a bet, killing people is boring."
He turned out a hairpin from his body and placed it in front of him: "This is my bet."
There was nothing else on him, [.] I met this hairpin halfway. It looked beautiful and planned to buy it and give it to the tea master.
The corners of the black-eyed mouth raised.
