Although Delhui did not explain, Vespit understood what he meant. A lonely city cannot be defended, which meant that he had to find a way out early. But who is he? He is not your kitten or puppy. Others can surrender. He is the governor of Daxia.
He is also the prince of the Kushan Empire, so surrender is absolutely impossible.
"Prince, I know that you have a noble status, but this is also your capital. Even if China really takes over Kushan, it will still need a person in charge. If you surrender to China now, the China Empire will definitely establish you as a leader.
, become a flag, and then you may become Vespit I of the Kushan Empire, have you ever thought about it?”
Delhui is very clear about Vespit's desire to kill Bakrat, but the current situation does not allow him to do so. If Vespit really dies in Bakrat, it will certainly boost Kushan's morale, but the final result
It may be the complete destruction of the Kushan Empire. Instead of doing so, it is better to conserve our strength now and wait for the final Nirvana rebirth.
"Don't say it anymore. I don't have that many ideals or that big revenge. I don't want to be the so-called Vespit I. I need to protect my home and country. Now I just hope that I can use my flesh and blood to protect my country."
Soul, to arouse the fighting spirit of the Kushan Empire. Although I cannot make the last sacrifice, I can be the first royal family to be loyal to the country."
Although the blueprint drawn by Del Hui is beautiful, it is not what he wants. Even if he surrenders now, will China really establish itself and become the next Kushan Emperor?
So what if he becomes the Kushan Emperor, he is just a puppet emperor.
The Kushan Empire will slowly die out under the constant pressure of China. Instead of being slowly consumed by China, it is better to fight now.
If you win, it will still be Kushan. If you lose, it will just accelerate the process in advance.
"Your Highness the Prince."
Delhui saluted Vespit again.
"Okay, I have made up my mind. Needless to say, instead of putting your focus on me, you might as well devote yourself to the defense of Bakrat City.
You must know that you are now trying to persuade me to surrender. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the city. Those who think so are like migrating horses. They must keep Bakrat. Even if they cannot hold it, they must delay it as much as possible and give the empire
To gain time."
Vespit waved his hand. This was his intention. He would not change it just because of a few words of advice from the other party. Instead of the other party focusing on himself, it would be better to pay more attention to the city's defense.
"Del Hui understands that I will do my best to protect Bakrat."
Since Vespit had said so, Delhui had nothing to talk about. He directly expressed his loyalty and then stood up and left the Prince's Palace.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister is afraid that he may have rebellious intentions. Do you want me to send someone to capture him now or to rectify him on the spot?"
The captain of the guard came to Vespit. He had heard all the conversation between the two just now. Now that the other party has the intention to surrender, in his opinion, it is a scourge and should be eradicated immediately.
"No, I know who the Prime Minister is. If he really had any objections, he wouldn't say it so openly. Don't worry."
Vespit still trusts Del Hui. After all, he is an official who he raised with his own hands. He has been cooperating with him for a long time. If he can't trust the other party, Vespet can't trust him either.
People.
"Then I'll resign."
After hearing what Vespit said, the captain of the guard bowed and slowly backed away.
"Brooker."
After leaving the door of Vespit's house, the captain of the bodyguard immediately summoned his confidants.
"Chief of Guards, what's the matter?"
A tall, well-proportioned man walked over.
"The Prime Minister just urged His Highness to surrender. I suspect that he has renegade intentions. You arrange for secret sentries to closely monitor the Prime Minister's office. If he makes any unusual move, you can directly capture him without asking for permission. If he resists, you can execute him on the spot."
Hearing the words of the chief of guards, Brooke couldn't help but frowned. You must know that Delhui is a conscientious and hard-working person in Daxia Province, and he is also the number one person under the prince and the leader of government affairs. This job is not easy to handle.
.
"Chief of Guards, is this His Highness's intention or yours?"
After thinking about it for a while, Brooker still didn't dare to take the order. This was too exciting.
"I have just advised Prince Delhui to be on guard, but the prince has great trust in him. His Highness is an open-minded person and is unwilling to do such villainous things. However, those of us who are subordinates cannot and should do so.
There are things that should be done but His Highness cannot do them and we have to do them; there are things that should not be done but His Highness can do them and we have to do them too.
If Delhui has no second thoughts at that time, I, Yeluda, am willing to die to apologize. If he really has second thoughts, what we have done will be worth it."
Yeluda glanced at the sky. They were serving as personal guards because of Vespit. He didn't care who the other party was. As long as he thought there was danger, he would help the prince to take it down. Even if he died to apologize for his crime, he would still be rewarded.
wish.
"I understand. I will personally take the secret sentry to do this. Don't worry. If nothing happens, I, Brooke, will go with you."
Hearing what Yeluda said, what else could Brucker say? He bowed directly, turned around and left the Prince's Palace, and arranged for a secret sentry to monitor Vespit's Prime Minister's Palace.
News of the arrival of millions of Chinese troops began to spread from top to bottom. The people and officers and soldiers in the city were all frightened when they heard the news. Knowing how many people there were in the city, the enemy's troops had exceeded their imagination.
For a time, a pessimistic atmosphere spread in the city. Not only the people had no hope, but also the officers and soldiers. Except for the elite regiment, the new recruits were already scared out of their wits.
"How is it? Is Bakrat City easy to fight?"
Yuan Shu was in the camp specially built for him by Zhao Yun, with a group of civil and military personnel below him.
"Your Majesty, Bakrat City also has trebuchets. We had a long-range attack with them last time. Although we have a slight advantage, the other side will definitely not give up and will build enough trebuchets to compete with us.
, coupled with the toughness of Bakrat City, it is really not easy to win.”
As the former commander of the army, Zhao Yun also experienced the first battle to besiege Bakrat. Since Yuan Shu asked this question, he must answer his questions.
"The other party actually has a trebuchet?
Are you sure it's a trebuchet?
Not a ballista or something?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yuan Shu was also stunned. Historically, there were trebuchets in the Roman period, but it doesn't seem to be now. Moreover, the Kushan Empire, which was founded as a nomadic people, had no accumulation in this area at all. Logically speaking, this thing should not have appeared.
"That's right, it's a trebuchet. Although it's not as advanced as ours, it can still be seen to be somewhat similar to our trebuchet."
Zhao Yun nodded. If he couldn't even distinguish this, there would be no need to be the vanguard general.
"Your Majesty, I have long heard that the Roman Empire was rich in resources and produced numerous talented people, which is no less inferior to China. If there is a trebuchet here, it should have been built by Roman craftsmen hired by the Kushan people."
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu. If a trebuchet really appeared here, there was a high probability that the other party hired Roman craftsmen to build it. This is the only way to explain the situation.
"Well, that's what I think too. Even if the opponent has a trebuchet, it doesn't matter. As long as the nightmare is there, Bakrat's city won't be a problem. How long will it take for Han Sheng to arrive?"
Yuan Shu nodded. Tian Feng said what he thought. Only Rome at the same time could have technology that rivaled China's. But now that he has arrived, even Rome is not enough for China.
"If nothing goes wrong, Han Sheng will definitely be able to escort the nightmare to arrive, whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
After hearing Yuan Shu asking about Huang Zhong's situation, Zhao Yun thought about it in his mind and speculated that Huang Zhong should arrive soon.
"Okay, the army will rest for the time being and wait until Nightmare arrives before attacking. There is no need for any probing. We will attack with force from the beginning. I want to capture Bakrat as quickly as possible without giving the Kushan Empire too much time to prepare."
Yuan Shu glanced at the top of the camp, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Others would first test, then persuade them to surrender, besiege the city, and finally choose to attack by force when they were forced to do so.
Yuan Shu had foreseen the situation in Bakrat. The opponent was the prince of the Kushan Empire. The walls of Bakrat were strong and there were tens or hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. He would definitely not surrender easily.
And even if he wants to surrender, Yuan Shu will not accept it. He is not here to support a so-called puppet Emperor Kuishang. He is here to destroy the country. There is no need to do such tricks, just crush him with absolute strength.
Already.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
All the generals stood up and clasped their fists, and then everyone came together to open the door. Only Tian Feng was left in the tent.
"Yuan Hao, do you have a problem?"
Seeing that Tian Feng did not leave, Yuan Shu could not help but be stunned, not understanding what the other party wanted to do.
