Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters only death battle Seoul
Zhang Kuang and the two discussed the possibility of the Songzhou garrison building an urn city, and the cavalry general Ke Yan drove his horse to the foot of the Songzhou city wall without fear.
Ke Yan glanced at the urn city, which was built entirely of granite. There was a solemn look in his eyes. He slowly lowered the iron bow on his back, took out an arrow without an arrowhead, and tied the letter of war that Zhang Kuang had given him to it.
.
“I, General Ke Yan, commander of the Six Guards Longwu Guard Lancers of Dalong Beijiang, have come to issue a declaration of war. May I ask where the Songzhou garrison is?”
“Wait!”
A not very standard Chinese language came from the city wall, and this time Ke Yan began to bend his bow and prepare an arrow.
Ke Yan's eyes have been examining the defensive arrangements on the city wall. He can faintly see the sound of artillery and cannons peeking out of the city's battlements, as well as the cold arrows of crossbows.
There were numerous and numerous footsteps on the city wall. When Keyan heard them, he could not help but frown.
Songzhou's military strength is probably far less than what the commander-in-chief and generals had guessed. At least based on the footsteps on this city wall, and based on my own experience, I estimate that it would be at least 10,000 troops.
Advertising, the novel app I am using recently, is supported by Android and Apple phones!
In this case, wouldn’t the four walls require about 40,000 elite soldiers?
If we add auxiliary troops and city defense auxiliary troops, we will probably have nearly 70,000 to 80,000 troops.
It is definitely a tough guy.
“I am the garrison general of Songzhou and the great general of Canglangwei, Hu Luda, has seen General Dalong under the city.”
Hearing the words spoken in Chinese on the city wall, Ke Yan subconsciously looked up.
I saw a middle-aged general, about forty years old and about the same size as myself, standing on the battlement and leaning out to look down at him.
Ke Yan took out a piece of silk from his arms and slowly pulled it open.
“Ke Yan met General Khuluda.
General Hulu, I am here not only to issue a letter of war, but also to persuade you to surrender.
I respect the commander-in-chief's order and come to persuade the general to surrender.
Great gold has no virtue, and has raised unknown armies several times, repeatedly invading our territory, killing our people, and destroying our city walls.
My people have been displaced and suffered from wars and chaos.
Now the cycle of retribution is going on. My great dragon obeys the sky and responds to people, raises the king's army, fights against thieves and captives, raises the heavenly army, and attacks the unjust.
I want to avenge the previous humiliation of a century-old hatred of the country and the family, and perform the feat of unifying the world.
However, God has the virtue of being good at life, and we, the great dragon, are not a warlike country, and our heavenly soldiers, the great dragon, are not bloodthirsty soldiers.
The Kingdom of Jin repeatedly went south to invade the border, causing our people to suffer, and the general’s eyes and ears are well aware of it.
Now our great dragon heavenly troops are going out to the north to attack the bandits. I hope the general will assess the situation and leave the city to surrender.
Ke Yan tied the silk cloth to the cluster of arrows, bent his bow and pointed the arrow at Khuluda, and shot away.
Huluda stared at the cluster of headless arrows flying towards his chest without escaping. He waved his right hand suddenly and tightly grasped the shaft of the flying arrow.
“General Hulu is a good man.
Ke Yan respects heroes like the general and hopes that the general will receive a letter of surrender instead of a letter of war."
Huluda did not respond to Ke Yan's words. He slowly took off the two pieces of silk cloth on the arrow cluster and began to read them.
After a long time, Khuluda extended his palm to the soldiers beside him.
"bow!"
“As you command!”
In the meantime, Ke Yan and Hu Lüda held an arrow cluster in their hands and took off the arrow cluster, and untied the silk cloth that Hu Lüda had brought back.
Looking at the content on the silk cloth urging surrender, Ke Yan stared at the city wall with complicated eyes.
“General Hulu? Why are you doing this?
There are no more than 100,000 soldiers in your city now? But outside the city, our Great Dragon Heavenly Army only has 200,000 vanguard troops.
Who is a hero who knows the current affairs? If you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about the tens of thousands of your brothers in the Canglang Guard, and think about the people in Songzhou City.
The Kingdom of Jin was already in dire straits due to the last war that destroyed the country.
This is the cycle of heaven? It indicates that my dragon will rule the world.
Why should a general go against the will of heaven? Fight to the death?"
Huluda returned the crossbow in his hand to the soldiers, took off the wine bag from his waist and drank a lot.
Then he threw the remaining half bag of wine towards Keyan.
“General Keyan? Hu Luda thanked Marshal Dalong Bingma for his kind words? Thank you General Keyan for his kind words.
However, you and I are both soldiers, and we know very well that soldiers have a heavy responsibility to protect their homes and their country.
Behind me is my land of Daijin. The people of Daijin? There is no way for me to retreat.
Do we, our soldiers, take it as an honor to die on the battlefield? How can we throw down our weapons and surrender and live in vain? We will bring infamy for generations and bring shame to our descendants.
As both generals, I think General Keyan can understand my difficulties and difficulties.
In private affairs, since my hometown is behind me, I would rather die than to surrender; in public affairs, since my land is behind me, I will eat the emperor's salary, and I should be the king's liver and brains. After death, I would rather die than retreat.
Huluda was ordered to defend Songzhou for three months until the last soldier was killed.
As a soldier, he should act according to his orders.
As a result, Khuluda could only be ignorant of good and evil, and let down the good intentions of Commander Dalong and General Keyan.
General Keyan, please come back.
Let’s meet again on the battlefield.”
Ke Yan looked at Yeluhu's resolute eyes, nodded with a wry smile, removed the stopper from the wine bag, raised it to Huluda and drank.
“Thank you so much for the fine wine, General Khuluda. Please forgive me, the great dragon, for bowing to me first and then fighting.
Farewell!"
“Don’t send it!”
Hu Luda had the style of a general, and followed the rules of the two countries not to fight without fighting. He silently watched Keyan leave on horseback.
“General, can we really hold on for three months?”
Huluda looked at the soldiers beside him and shook his head silently.
“We are soldiers and we must always be prepared to sacrifice our lives to serve our country.
The dragon's soldiers and horses are approaching with great force and momentum.
In order to give the two commanders an opportunity to support the rear arrangement.
Our persistence in Songzhou City is related to the rise and fall of the country, the mountains, rivers and the country.
The only way to fight is to the death."
Many of the soldiers around Huluda sighed heavily and knelt down towards Huluda.
“We are willing to follow the general and sacrifice our lives for our country, and fight to the death without retreating.”
“We are willing to follow the general and sacrifice our lives for our country, and fight to the death without retreating.”
In an instant, the Canglang Guardsmen on the city wall knelt on the ground, guarding the city with a determination to die.
Are you arrogant? Dongfang Ming and the others listened to the words translated by the soldiers around them who knew Jin dialect, and looked towards Songzhou City with complicated eyes.
“Alas, what a pity for these Jin soldiers!”
“It is a pity, but their generous acts of righteousness cannot cover up the various evil deeds they have committed against our Dalong borderland over the past few decades by repeatedly violating the border.
When they went south, they should have thought about the consequences of today."
Zhang Kuang nodded silently: "Brother Dongfang is right. To the Kingdom of Jin, they are heroic soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, but to me, Da Long, they are enemy soldiers who have committed evil deeds.
I admire their character, but don't like their virtue.
If the King of Sidelines had not mobilized 400,000 powerful troops from the Western Regions during the last national war, I am afraid that our Dalong people would still be displaced in the flames of war.
Let’s fight and unite the world, and nothing like this will happen!”
“Meet the two generals!”
“Forgive me the gift!”
“Thank you, General!”
“General, Songzhou Guards Hu Luda, Canglangwei General, take over the tactics and return the letter of surrender.”
Zhang Kuang put away the silk cloth handed by Ke Yan and nodded silently.
“Be polite before sending troops, be polite before sending soldiers.
Since the Jin Kingdom is not polite, it has no choice but to fight."
“Instruct the three armies to prepare siege measures.
As soon as the general’s troops arrive, attack the city immediately!”
