Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

An envoy sent on the mao festival represents both the country and the monarch. For whatever reason, if one dares to attack the envoy, it is tantamount to declaring war.

When envoys are humiliated, the country is humiliated, and the monarch is humiliated!

Qin Mo and the more than two thousand soldiers of the garrison saw Zhang Liang and the others returning with arrows pierced on their horses, and a strong look of evil appeared on their faces.

The Qiang warriors of the former army, including Liu Ji, also burst into an uproar after seeing the distress of Zhang Liang and others: "The Luo Qiang tribe really wants to die...Damn guys...they should slaughter the Luo Qiang and let them Know what the rules are~!"

The unspoken rule that the two countries do not fight each other is not just the rule of civilized countries.

The more backward and barbarous ethnic groups, they will follow such rules, because they have no real civilization, and they usually rely on the established rules to live.

Attacking the envoys, in the eyes of the Qiang tribe, is far from being as simple as declaring war.
This is also the reason why the Qiang tribe of the leading party did not do anything to them when Lao Dunwei and his entourage suffered an accident, but dedicated it to Toliti.

On the one hand, of course I want to please Toriti!
On the other hand, maybe he was afraid of offending Daqin to death, and he didn't want to make a mess of himself, so he gave Toriti a hot potato!
Tread-tap-

Zhang Liang and his personal guards came to the banner of the Chinese army's big banner along the passage that the former army gave up, and handed it back to Yan Jie in shame, saying: "Zifang failed to persuade the Qiang tribe to surrender, please forgive me, my lord~!"

Qin Mo took the Yan Jie, still on the ground casually, frowned and looked at the arrows on his body and asked, "Are there any casualties?"

Zhang Liang shook his head: "With iron armor on his body, they were all slightly wounded outside the skin, but he was caught off guard and shot to death a few horses."

The garrison soldiers are all wearing iron armor, but the horses have no protection.

Qin Mo glanced around and saw that the guards behind Zhang Liang had gloomy faces and no signs of serious injury or weakness, so he got to the point and asked, "Why did the Rao and Qiang tribes not want to surrender?"

Zhang Liang shook his head again: "The leader of the Qiang tribe didn't say much...but they have a city to rely on, and it seems that the city has not been breached by the cavalry led by General Meng Tian, ​​so they are confident and extremely tough."

Qin Mo nodded, waved his hands and said, "Go quickly to the rear army and find a doctor to treat the arrow wound."

"Thank you, Lord, for your compassion."

Zhang Liang and a group of personal guards pulled their horses away.

Lao Dun weakly watched them go away, then turned to Qin Mo and said, "It's hard to persuade you, damn it, this time it's the old man who went, and most likely he was shot back by random arrows!"

Qin Mo nodded indifferently, and immediately said in a solemn voice: "Order, all sentry cavalry will be sent out, and we will go thirty miles away to investigate. The whole army will speed up and continue to move forward."

"Here!"

The left and right guards took the order, and left the Chinese army with the order flag to deliver the order.

Slightly leaning, teams of guards and sentry cavalry moved out like a swarm of bees, scattered in all directions, and the marching speed of the army suddenly accelerated.

Zhang Liang and his personal guards rode lightly on fast horses to persuade them to surrender, and it took only half an hour to go back and forth.

The army of more than [-] infantry marched, even if it accelerated, it still took a full two hours to reach the outside of Raoqiang city at dusk.

The so-called Raoqiang city looks like it is not as good as the stone city built by the Baiyang tribe!
And I don't know whether Mengtian didn't attack the city, which caused the Yaoqiang tribe to have no idea of ​​the horror of firearms attacking the city, or whether Qin Mo led the infantry army to come quickly, causing the Yaoqiang tribe to have no time to prepare...

Outside Raoqiang City, there are no defensive measures except a trench!

"My lord, within twenty miles behind the Qiang city, only a small number of Qiang cavalry appeared, and there were no traces of most of the enemy troops."

"Report, [-] miles to the left of the Raoqiang city, we found the Raoqiang sentry cavalry, all of them have been wiped out..."

"My lord, twenty miles to the right of the Raoqiang City, our troops fought with the Raoqiang sentry cavalry, captured six people for interrogation, and there was no reinforcements in the Raoqiang city. There are only less than [-] strong men and strong women in the city, and the rest are all old men. young……"

Teams of guards and sentry cavalry kept going back and forth, reporting the enemy's situation within a radius of [-] li from the city of Ruoqiang to the Central Army and reporting it to Qin Mo from time to time.

"Include the direction we marched in into the scope of the investigation, and don't relax!"

"Hey~!"

Qin Mo passed down the military order again, then looked at the Raoqiang City not far away, frowned and said, "What is this Raoqiang tribe doing? So do you want to be a filial son and grandson for the Loulan Kingdom?"

A small and low city that is better than nothing, with no reinforcements outside and no elite inside, does it still want to block more than [-] troops with this?
Zhang Liang, who was old and weak and had bandaged his wounds, was also full of black question marks at this time. He really couldn't understand the brain circuit of the leader of the Qiang tribe, and said successively: "Perhaps, it's just that the ignorant is fearless... Maybe I just want to fight for a while. Well, if we can really stop our advance, Loulan Kingdom will definitely accept the Yaoqiang tribe completely and treat them as real citizens..."

Qin Mo nodded noncommittal, and said in a solemn voice: "Decree, besiege the city on all sides. Master Liu Ji is at the rear, Master Cao Can is on the right, and Lord Xiahou Ying is on the left. Each leads the headquarters and [-] slave troops, and lays down the siege formation!"

"Hey~!"

The left and right guards took the order and left quickly with the order flag.

Slightly leaning forward, the forward Liu Ji, the right wing Cao Can, and the left wing Xia Houying each selected [-] slave troops, plus their own garrison soldiers, separated from the main army and rushed to the other three sides of the city.

Meanwhile, Qin Mo's central army advanced forward and stopped within a stone's throw of the city.

……

Qin Mo raised his head and looked at the red sun slanting to the west, his eyes moved down to the top of the city of Raoqiang, and then urged his horse out before shouting loudly: "Hexi Kingdom Qin Mo is here, where is the leader of the Raoqiang tribe?"

The Rao Qiang people in the city had already discovered Qin Mo's big flag.

A moment later, a middle-aged Qiang man wearing a Qin-style iron armor lined with luxurious Shu brocade showed his figure at the crenel, and said in a half-baked elegant voice: "My lord, please withdraw your troops quickly. My whole country in Loulan is here!" The aid will arrive within two days, if you don't retreat, you will be dead!"

Qin Mo forced himself to be speechless, and said loudly again: "This small city can't be defended for two days, not even for the sunset... All surrender, all the members of the Qiang tribe, surrender to our Great Qin."

"What can Loulan give you? In the eyes of your generation, you will always be just foreigners!"

"And those who return to my great Qin are all from my Qin. We are of the same clan and origin, and will not be separated from each other... Don't bury the whole clan for the selfishness of your leader!"

shhhhhhhhhhhhh-

Qin Mo's words of persuading him to surrender probably touched Ni Lin, the leader of the Rao and Qiang tribe. Before he could finish his words, a feathered arrow shot towards him.

Snapped--

A personal guard lightly waved the halberd in his hand, and knocked down the feathered arrow that flew close to him and had no strength.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

But what followed was overwhelming arrows.

Qin Mo knocked lightly on the horse's belly, and the sweaty white horse immediately retreated into the formation, followed by his personal guards.

He was already out of the range of the bow and crossbow, and all the retreating arrows missed, but the Yao and Qiang tribesmen in the city, seeing Qin Mo being forced back by the arrows, seemed to have won a big victory.

"Aww~!!!"

The excited and wild howling battle roar resounded over the sky of Raoqiang City.

Under the flag of the Chinese Army, Zhang Liang greeted Qin Mo with a wry smile and said, "I have already said what the lord said just now, why should the lord waste his tongue?"

Qin Mo nodded, stretched out his hand and drew out his sword, and shouted in a cold voice: "Decree, attack from all sides, before sunset, capture this city, all young and strong will be hard labor, ten years will be pardoned~!"

"Well..."

The personal guards responded with awe, rode their horses and swung their whips to send orders.

thump—

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

At the same time, rhythmic war drums sounded.

The other armies besieging the city on three sides, after hearing the sound of the war drums, they also beat the war drums, and the drums from all sides gathered together like a single sound, but it shook the world and was breathtaking.

Amidst the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the garrison quickly stepped forward and set up firearm positions!

The Rao and Qiang tribesmen on the city wall saw that the Qin army had come all day long without taking a break, so they began to attack the city with great fanfare, and finally stopped their excited screaming and battle roaring in amazement.

Qin Mo and Zhang Liang's words of persuasion to surrender resurfaced in the ears of all the Rao and Qiang tribesmen at this moment: 【This small town... can't keep the sunset! 】

thump—

The war drum beat heavily, and everything was silent for a moment.

After the drums were played, the armies on all sides shouted the wind in unison, and the momentum soared into the sky!

"wind!"

"wind!!"

"Great wind~!!!"

woohoo-

Boom boom boom—

tom tom tom—

Three kinds of long-range firearms were fired at the same time, aiming at the drawbridge behind the ditch and the city gate behind the drawbridge.

The young Qiang and strong men in the city watched blankly, those firearms with trailing flames and green smoke, hit the suspension bridge and the city gate, or fell under them.

boom boom-

Rumbling--

A deafening explosion followed, and the soaring fire and gunpowder smoke scared all the Rao and Qiang tribes, shrinking their necks in fright.

Then, with a pale face, he hugged his head and lay on the city wall to hide!

Although they had never experienced the power of long-range firearms, they were caught off guard by the cavalry led by Meng Tian a few days ago, and they also tasted the thunderbolts thrown by the Qiang cavalry.

So I also know how to effectively avoid the damage caused by the explosion of firearms!
However, the power of long-range firearms is really too great, several times, or even ten times that of individual thunderbolt bullets, far exceeding their psychological expectations.

While they were lying on the city wall with their heads in their hands and shivering, they didn't know that the suspension bridge and the city gates below the city had already been blasted by long-range firearms, leaving them in dilapidated ruins.

bang——

The rope pulling the suspension bridge broke, and the dilapidated suspension bridge fell... Because it was too broken, it fell to pieces and fell into the ditch, but it was impossible to pass people.

But this did not stop the pace of the siege army. The armored slaves, in groups of two and two, one holding a large shield and the other carrying a shovel, rushed to the edge of the trench quickly. Under the cover of long-range firearms and crossbows, they quickly The soil was dug and filled in the trench.

The Rao and Qiang tribes in the city probably noticed that the Qin army was filling the trenches, howling for their companions to get up and shoot arrows to stop them.

But as soon as he showed his head, he was attacked by long-range firearms and crossbows, and there were endless screams for a while.

Perhaps the Rao and Qiang tribes were not well received by the real Western Regions people, or by the Loulan Kingdom, so the rate of wearing armor was not high.

Of course, it is also possible that the armor of their tribe has already been conscripted away to support the front line, and the armor on the slaves who filled the trenches might not have belonged to them in the first place.

Moreover, even with armor protection, it can't stop the powerful long-range firearms...

In short, the Luo and Qiang tribes were clearly condescending, but their casualties were dozens of times that of the slave army!
The Luo and Qiang tribes were bewildered, and finally understood the horror of the Qin army, and finally understood that the previous cavalry did not attack the city, not because they could not attack the city, but because they were too lazy to waste time on them, but because they felt that they belonged and could be surrendered. By.

Otherwise, they would have broken into the city long ago, turned the world upside down, and robbed the horses of food and supplies!
However, the leader of the Yaoqiang tribe was arrogant and did not know it, and even the Yaoqiang tribe did not take the Qin army seriously.

Give the opportunity, give the face, but don't take it for granted!

In the end, the bitter fruit that comes from brewing must be swallowed by oneself after all!

……

The slave soldiers who filled the trench worked very hard. They were covered by long-range firearms and crossbowmen behind them, armored body protection, and companions with large shields beside them to help block the arrows. The shovel swings like flying.

When you are tired, exchange with your partner with a large shield and continue to work hard!

Moreover, the former batch of slave soldiers are their role models. In the Qin army, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will not only be able to recover their freedom, pardon the sins of their families, but also increase their officials and titles!
The slave army worked so hard, the ditch in front of the city gate was quickly filled in by the slave army at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Qin Mo waved the battle sword in his hand: "Attack~!"

The guards then shouted in unison: "Gong~!!!"

"Aww~!!!"

The Qiang slave army, who was ready to go, uttered a sky-shattering roar, like a bison coming out of a cage, charging with a shield.

The Rao and Qiang tribes on the city wall watched in despair as the slave soldiers who feared death rushed through the trench and rushed towards the open city gate.

The luxuriously dressed leader of the Qiang tribe had already left the city, and was organizing an army under the city, trying to block the gate of the city.

But at this moment, there was a loud howl and battle cry from the city wall on the left.

What's more, it was the screaming battle roar that sounded on the city wall, and the leader of the Yaoqiang tribe turned his head to look at it, and his face suddenly turned ashen.

Because the city wall on the left has been captured by the Qin army!
At this time, it is copying from both sides!

boom boom-

When the leader of the Rao and Qiang tribe was in a daze in despair, the Qiang slave army who rushed forward threw dozens of individual thunderbolts into the dilapidated city gate. The roaring explosion resounded through the city gate and killed them. A group of Rao and Qiang tribes who wanted to block the gate of the city even smashed the antlers that blocked the gate to prevent it.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the slave army rushed out like evil spirits, and killed the remaining Raoqiang tribe...

……

Half an hour later, Qin Mo drove his horse into the city.

The leader of the Rao and Qiang tribe was covered in gunpowder smoke and black ashes. He was pushed to the side of the road by several Qiang slave soldiers, and his personal guards stepped forward to lift him up. After a body search, he was still in front of Qin Mo's horse.

"Stupid people, what else can I say?"

Qin Mo asked coldly.

The leader of the Yaoqiang tribe prostrated himself on the ground, buried his head deeply in the soil, and wailed: "I am willing to surrender... I am willing to surrender... I just want to survive and not kill..."

Qin Mo took a deep breath, and said angrily: "I thought you would be so stubborn and hurt others and your own generation, drag it down, cut it in half to show the public, just to imitate you~!"
