"We don't have enough food and grass. We don't have much to share with you. You should leave..." Qin Liangyu waved his hand and rejected their request.
"What...we are here to help you..." The general with a rough face almost got angry and yelled.
They originally received an invitation from the Kingdom of Bahuo, and fought a battle for this purpose. They managed to defeat the troops from the Kingdom of Crane and fled. However, they did not want to pay for food and fodder.
At this time, his adjutant rushed over and whispered in his ear: "General, we learned from the prisoners that the king of the Bahuo Kingdom is dead, and what we encountered was the army of Baron Qin Feng.
.”
"Oh? So, this country is finished?" General Nelson touched his black beard, and his angry smile immediately changed to a smile.
"In that case...haha...then we don't just need three cities..."
Nelson looked at the city wall with a arrogant look, and said sternly: "Since your king is dead, you should surrender now. In this way, you can still become the nobles of our Marton Kingdom. Otherwise, if you refuse to surrender, I will
Kill you all."
Qin Liangyu, who was leaning against the wall on the city wall, looked at him boredly, "Seeing that we are weak, do you want to bully us?"
Qin Liangyu stuck his head out and said feebly: "Then stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. I'm afraid of you..."
"You..." Nelson didn't expect the other party to be so tough.
But seeing the extremely high walls of Songdan City, the guards on the city walls were also full of energy. If they wanted to capture this city, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"But if we can capture Songdan City, the entire Bajo Kingdom will be ours."
Nelson thought for a while and then made a decision, "Attack the city and capture Songdan City."
Then he returned to the army on his war horse, and the troops from the Kingdom of Mardun came up with their big shields.
They gave up their spears, used short blades instead, set up long ladders and rushed up in large strides.
Due to their urgency, the soldiers of the Marton Kingdom did not prepare any other large siege equipment.
But this does not hinder their strong fighting spirit. The reason why they came late is to make the Bajo Kingdom and the Crane Kingdom lose both sides, so that they can gain more benefits.
But judging from the current situation, the effect exceeds the other party's surprise.
"Kill..." The Marton soldiers came up the long ladder and soon reached half of the city wall.
Qin Liangyu continued to observe unhurriedly, his black eyes scanning the entire Marton Legion formation.
It was found that they were covered in fine scale armor, powerful and well-equipped, but no matter how you looked at it, there were no archers.
"Huh? Is it not, or is it because of the general's habit of not bringing archers?"
Qin Liangyu, who was wondering, suddenly heard the request of the soldiers around him, "General, do you want to attack now?"
"Oh... let's attack... they are all living targets. It's really boring." Qin Liangyu turned around and lay on the wall, took out a book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", opened the first page, and read it carefully.
Bang bang bang...
Immediately, loud gunshots and pitiful screams were heard.
"How come?"
In Marton's army, General Nelson was stunned. The soldiers who had just climbed up suddenly fell down one by one like dumplings.
Their shields were penetrated instantly, and their tough armor was like paper, broken by small projectiles. Their bodies were also penetrated, and they fell down the long ladder.
In just the blink of an eye, more than half of the more than 2,000 pioneers were lost, and the casualty rate exceeded Nils' imagination.
"Retreat...retreat..."
Faced with such powerful firepower, Nelson quickly withdrew his troops. Unexpectedly, gunshots rang out and shells as big as volleyballs fell in their formation.
There was an unexpected explosion, and fireballs and iron nails enveloped them one by one. Their armor could not save their lives at all.
After several rounds of shelling, a large number of soldiers were killed on the spot. Faced with such powerful long-range firepower, the remaining Marton soldiers did not care about military discipline and all fled backwards.
"How come there is such powerful firepower? What are those things? Are they the big tubes on the Crane Country's warships?" Nelson was horrified in his heart. He could not have imagined that the opponent would actually have weapons from the Crane Country.
"Damn it, no way. Could it be that they have surrendered to the Crane Kingdom? Are they going to attack us?" Nelson seemed to have thought of something bad and immediately shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat..."
The Marton army quickly retreated from the battlefield and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, that's really boring..." Qin Liangyu laughed, put away his books, stood up, glanced at the battlefield, and said:
"Collect all the corpses and send all their weapons and armor to Ningtian Fort. At least they can still be used..."
With a chuckle, Qin Liangyu walked down the city wall.
The Marton Legion, which had been running for ten miles in the distance, finally stopped. The heavy armor made them panting from the continuous running.
"Stop, everyone stop..." Pierson stopped his horse, turned around and looked fearfully for a few times, and found that the soldiers from Ningtian Fort were not pursuing them.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's strange that the iron cannons of the Crane Kingdom can't penetrate the armor and shields of our soldiers at all. How can their iron cannons be so powerful? If we fight them, it will be difficult to win."
The more Pearson thought about it, the more he got a headache. When the headache reached a certain level, he had to give up.
"It's useless to think too much. Let's annex the land of the Bahuo Kingdom. When our army is strong, they will have nothing to fear."
After figuring everything out, Pearson led the army and continued walking south.
At the same time, he requested more troops from the Kingdom of Marton to occupy more cities.
In the Iron Wall Fortress.
Qin Feng sat on the central platform, and three figures stood in front of him, rat-man Bai Ya, fish-man Teeth, and female mage Betty.
These were all recruited by him using the materials shipped from Ningtian Castle these days. What surprised him was that among them was Betty, a figure he had dealt with before.
"Betty, when did you join the Kingdom of Ming Dynasty?" Qin Feng was lying on the stone throne, with a galaxy-like pattern in the background.
"Captain, I only joined the Taoist temple when the Cage Star was dragged here. I have offended many times in the past. Please punish me." Betty, wearing a white cloak, knelt down on one knee and begged for forgiveness.
Qin Feng touched his chin and thought: "Since Betty is sealed here, she must have been baptized by the Tao Te Ching and should be trustworthy."
"Tooth Ya is a fishman, and is better at water combat. Originally, land combat could only be considered average, but fortunately it is now at level five, and there is not much difference between water combat and land combat."
Qin Feng stood up and said with a smile: "There is no need for punishment. Since you are already a member of our Ming Kingdom, you will do your best to contribute to the Ming Kingdom in the future."
"Yes, Governor." Betty stood up immediately.
Qin Feng glanced behind the three of them and suddenly asked: "Now, have our spies found the location of Master Yun's Tower?"
