Vespit nodded, now it was time to see whether his own defense was stronger or the opponent's attack was better.
"Your Majesty, you'd better go down to the city wall first."
After hearing what Vespit said, Delhui saluted him directly and asked him to come down from the city wall.
"Come, send Delhui down the city wall. I am with all the soldiers."
Vespit shook his head. He knew that his side was at a disadvantage now. Being on the city wall, if nothing else, at least had some effect on improving morale.
"Prince, the Chinese have a very correct saying, which is that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. You are the leader of Daxia. If something goes wrong with you, I am afraid you will collapse immediately."
Delhui glanced at Vespit. He was the soul of the Bactria province. If he was injured or even died during the siege, the Bactria province might be completely destroyed.
"A real man shouldn't be afraid of life and death, no need to say more."
Vespit shook his head. Although he was not born with any magical power, he had undergone the most rigorous training since he was a child. Apart from other things, it would be impossible for several people to get close to him. If he did it for his own little
Once the morale on the city wall collapses, everything will be over.
"Sir, please."
After hearing what Vespit said, his personal guards came directly to Delhui and escorted him directly down the city wall.
"Rumble."
The sound of horse hooves swept across, from far to near, and finally arrived under the Bakrat city wall.
"hiss."
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of cavalry under the city wall, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go down to the city wall first?"
Helmata, the captain of the Governor's Guard, looked at the enemy in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
"No, let's defend with all our strength. I want to see how powerful the rumored Chinese army can be."
Vespit shook his head. The current situation was like this. Even if the opponent had millions of troops, he would not be able to get down the city wall.
"yes."
"Defense with all our strength, His Majesty the Prince is with us."
Helmata directly conveyed the order to the sergeants beside her, and at the same time told the news that Vespit was with them.
"Fight to the death for His Majesty the Prince."
"Fight to the death for His Majesty the Prince."
"Fight to the death for His Majesty the Prince."
The soldiers on the city wall were all excited after hearing Helmata's words. Originally, they thought that in the face of so many enemies, Vespit would definitely go down the city wall first, but they didn't expect that the other party, as a prince, would be with them.
Zhao Yun rode out into battle, taking an interpreter behind him, and came to the bottom of the city wall.
"I am General Ying Yang of the Chinese Empire, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. I heard that the governor of Daxia Province is the prince of the Kushan Empire. I asked him to come out and see him."
Zhao Yun pointed at the enemy on the city wall. He wanted to talk to the so-called prince of the Kushan Empire.
"I am Vespit, the prince of the Kushan Empire and the governor of the Bactrian Province. What do the barbarians say?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Vespit directly replied to Zhao Yun under the city wall.
Looking at Vespit who stuck his head out, Zhao Yun couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that the other party was so young. He could only be in his thirties at most and be able to take up the post of Daxia Province, an important province.
of the Governor.
"You are Prince Vespit. I believe you also know the reason why China sent troops this time. Your Kushan Empire took advantage of the civil strife in China and brazenly sent troops to Yizhou.
Your Kushan Empire is wronged first. If you are willing to surrender to me, the Chinese Emperor, I would like to suggest to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire that I support you to become the new emperor of the Kushan Empire. How about that?"
Zhao Yun's words were conveyed to the city wall by the interpreter. When they heard this, the soldiers on the city wall became angry.
"What kind of dog dares to bark here?"
"Fuck you, come on if you can."
"See if I don't take your brains out and make you drink."
The crowd on the city wall was excited and taunted Zhao Yun crazily.
"Shut up, everyone."
Vespit glanced at the soldiers, couldn't help but frown, and directly ordered the soldiers to stop talking. He stuck his head out and looked at Zhao Yun, who was much younger than himself, under the city wall.
"Zhao Yun, right? You said that our Kushan Empire should be the first to redress its losses. It's pure nonsense. It seems that you, the Chinese, sent people to attack our Kushan territory first, burning the three cities in the east, and then started the battle.
If you now agree to lead your cavalry to surrender to the Kushan Empire, then when our Kushan army counterattacks China, I will definitely recommend you as the emperor of the Chinese Empire and stand side by side with the Kushan Empire, so what?"
Vespit directly expressed his inner thoughts. Since you want to persuade me to rebel, then I will also persuade you to rebel. It depends on what you say.
"Okay, it's not impossible. Then please ask His Majesty the Prince to open the city gate first and send us some supplies of food and grass. We must give our brothers enough to eat."
Hearing Vespit's words, Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile. He was not angry at all and directly asked the other party for food and supplies.
"Okay, since you want to surrender, why don't you salute me first? You have to give me some cards, right?"
Faced with Zhao Yun's crisp words, Vespit also smiled directly, "You are talking nonsense here, then I will talk nonsense with you, and I will make money from you first."
"Haha, what the prince said is very good. Since there is nothing to talk about in this way, let's do it with real swords and guns."
Since the other party has said so, Zhao Yun has nothing more to say. If you try it with real swords and guns, you will know who is good and who is not.
Zhao Yun turned around and left with his translator, leaving only his back to the soldiers all over the city.
"It's not that easy to leave."
When Hermata saw Zhao Yun about to leave, she bent her bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Yun.
"How dare a despicable person stab someone in the back?"
Seeing the arrow shooting towards Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with light, he clapped his horse and ran out. At the same time, he picked up his bow, nocked the arrow and shot the arrow in one go.
A wolf-fang arrow shot up into the sky like a meteor, directly knocking away the arrow that Hermata had used to attack Zhao Yun.
"Take an arrow from me too."
After one arrow shot away the enemy's arrow, Huang Zhong bent his bow again. The bow of ten thousand stones was like a full moon in an instant, and another arrow was like lightning, crossing the space and flying towards Hermata who released the arrow.
He saw that his arrow was shot away, and before he could react, Huang Zhong's wolf-fang arrow was already in front of him.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Helmata's body seemed to be restrained. He could only watch the arrow getting closer to him, but he could not make any movement.
"kill."
Suddenly, a loud roar came from beside him, and a flash of sword flashed, hitting Huang Zhong's arrow.
The person who rescued Helmata was none other than the number one man in Great Xia, Vespit.
As early as when Huang Zhong ran out, he had already set his sights on the opponent's big bow, knowing that this must be a good archer. It was precisely because of his foresight that he was able to save Herma with his sword at the critical moment.
The life of the tower.
Even though he had foresight, the arrows fired by Huang Zhong were fast and powerful. His arms shook for no reason when the sword struck.
"call."
Helmata, who was pulled back from the brink of death by Vespit, was breathing heavily, with big beads of sweat all over her head.
"Is everything okay?"
Vespit pulled the other man up and asked with concern about the situation of his generals.
"It's okay. Thank you, Your Majesty the Prince, for saving me."
Helmata had already reacted and immediately knelt down on one knee to salute Vespit.
"Okay, you must cheer up and don't give the other side a chance to sneak attack."
Vespit nodded and looked at Huang Zhong outside the city with fear on his face.
A group of personal guards directly surrounded the two of them. With such a sharp archer on the other side, no one dared to relax their vigilance.
"Thank you, General Shesheng."
Zhao Yun actually sensed the opponent's cold arrow, and he was not afraid of it. However, Huang Zhong shot the arrow to save him at the critical moment, and he also wanted to thank him.
"Huang Zhong showed his shame."
Huang Zhong did not take any credit for saving Zhao Yun with this arrow. He believed that even if he did not take action, the other party would not be able to hurt Zhao Yun at all.
"Okay, tell the soldiers to camp on the spot and make siege equipment. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to capture the city of Bakrat."
Zhao Yun nodded directly to Huang Zhong, ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, and then led the army to camp on the spot. At the same time, he asked the soldiers to cut down trees nearby to prepare for the next siege.
"It seems that the enemy will not attack the city today. Instruct the soldiers to rest separately and not to waste their lives on the city wall. We are going to fight a long war. Do you understand?"
When Vespit saw the Chinese retreating, he knew that they would definitely not attack the city when they first arrived. If everyone was wasting their time here, the gain would not be worth the loss.
"Farewell to His Majesty the Prince."
After hearing Vespit's words, Hermata saluted directly and sent the other party away respectfully.
"Um."
Vespit nodded and led his guards directly down the city wall.
"Your Majesty the Prince has ordered that the army descend to the city wall in batches to rest."
"yes."
Vespit descended the city wall, and Hermata immediately ordered the soldiers to descend the city wall in batches to rest.
"If the other party sends troops and horses from the city to send a message, remember, don't stop them, just let them go, and report the news to His Majesty immediately."
Zhao Yun glanced at Huang Zhong and directly told him not to stop the soldiers from Bakrat City from going out to ask for help.
"No, I will arrange it."
Huang Zhong nodded and immediately went down to convey Zhao Yun's order. At the same time, a telegram flew out and reached Yuan Shu's location.
"Your Majesty, General Zilong has led his troops to Bakrat City. Next, we should constantly observe the enemies on the Amu Darya River defense line."
Tian Feng came to Yuan Shu with the telegram he had just received, his eyes full of excitement.
Now that Zhao Yun has done what he should do, it depends on how the other party responds. If they really mobilize the soldiers and horses on the Amu Darya River defense line to go back for support, it will be the best time to cross the river themselves.
"Well, order the scouts to maneuver the boats ashore and monitor the opponent's movements at any time."
Yuan Shu nodded, and then it was up to him to see how the opponent would respond.
