Junthei is an important city in Siam, and its defense level is no worse than that of Ayutthaya. Could it be so easily broken by the enemy? Ke Ma was a little skeptical. But it came from the mouth of Maro Guo, who was also an imperial general, so its credibility was much higher.
At this moment, Wu Lunshi had already expressed his intention to give up the resistance, but he was really unwilling to let him give up so easily because of Kema's painstaking efforts for so long. At the same time, he also understood that Wu Lunshi was also unwilling to give in.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I feel that the enemy troops outside the city surrounded us but did not attack immediately, and were willing to accept our surrender and put forward conditions. What does this mean?" Kema said, looking around and asked, Seeing that everyone looked confused, he stopped talking and continued.
"It shows that everything is negotiable. The enemy also knows that our big city is strong and difficult to break. So they are prepared to use the method of 'subjugating the enemy's soldiers without fighting' to achieve their ultimate goal."
"So I thought that as long as we can defeat the enemy's attack and frustrate their spirit in the next city defense battle, then we can sit down and negotiate terms with them instead of just listening to them. I don't know, Your Majesty, And what do you adults think?"
"Well, yes, General Kema is right. I agree with General Kema's words." A minister who had followed Wu Lunshi and insulted the Yi Dynasty envoy immediately agreed.
"Yes... I also agree..." Many ministers also agreed for various reasons.
Wu Lunshi looked at it and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It was rare that many ministers were willing to "share the same boat" with him. This was all thanks to the unreasonable conditions of the Yi Dynasty. If possible, he would naturally not be willing to be removed from the throne just like this.
"Okay, since you adults think General Kema's words are feasible, let's unite as one and never let the enemy troops outside the city look down upon us." Wu Lunshi said with restored arrogance.
"I obey the decree, long live long live long live long live..."
After everyone's shouting ended, Wu Lunshi was heard to say again: "Ma Luoguo, although you are currently waiting for a crime, I think you have many years of military experience. Now that the country is facing a national crisis, you go to help Kema." Let's defend the city together! After we gain military merit, I can offset your guilt, do you understand?"
"Yes, I obey the order. Thank you, long live my king..." Ma Luoguo immediately knelt down and said.
"Well, General Kema, we are going to rely on you for your hard work." Wu Lunshi turned to Kema and said.
"The king's words are serious. It is the duty of the ministers to share the king's worries!" Kema quickly knelt down and said.
………
"jump jump jump…"
Just when Wu Lunshi was about to promise some "benefits" to Kema, he heard huge cannon sounds coming from outside the city, which slowly became sparse and then became denser.
"What's going on..." The sudden sound made Wu Lunshi become nervous.
"Back to the king, it should be the cannon of the Yi army outside the city." Kema replied without thinking.
"With so many cannons? Can the city wall withstand it?" Wu Lunshi asked worriedly.
"The walls of the big city are thick, so you won't have to worry about a few cannons." Kema replied with a hint of confidence.
"That's good, you go back and deploy defenses quickly!" Wu Lunshi said.
"Yes, I will go back right now." Kema replied.
…
"Boom..."
With a loud noise, heavy dust rose from the sky above the city walls.
"Report...report..."
As soon as Kema and Maroguo came out of the palace gate, they saw a messenger galloping towards them on horseback and shouting.
"When?" Kema asked the messenger who came to him.
"Report to General Kema, it's not good, the east wall was knocked down by the enemy's cannon." The messenger said hurriedly without taking a breath.
"What? The walls of my big city are so thick, how could it be breached so quickly. Hurry, prepare horses for me and go back immediately." Hearing this, Kema even wondered if the messenger was lying.
"yes…"
…
The city wall in the northeast of the big city was filled with dust. When the gusts of wind blew by, a piece of it collapsed. The collapse was so big that it was not like a punishment from heaven.
When Ke Ma arrived, the time for incense injection had already passed. He had already seen the dust in the sky on the road. Just when he thought the city wall was about to be undefendable, he discovered that the enemies outside the city were just in formation and did not take the opportunity to attack. Just leaving a huge gap in the city wall waiting for the dust to settle.
"What's going on?" Kema, who rushed over in a hurry, asked the guard Ma Maiya on the city wall in confusion.
"Back to the general, the general didn't understand either. He just heard a loud noise and the city wall collapsed. The general immediately organized the defenders in the city to prepare for defense against the gap, but found that the enemy did not attack." Ma Maiya He also said very incomprehensively.
The city wall collapsed, and the enemy troops outside the city did not take the opportunity to attack. No one would believe it. But this is the fact. Kema and Ma Maiya don't think that the enemies outside the city are really benevolent and righteous, and they will waste such a good opportunity.
The dust settled and the vision slowly became clearer. At this time, I saw a man coming outside the city with a flag.
"Who is that person in front of you? Answer quickly, or I will release an arrow." The city gate guard shouted loudly.
"I am the envoy of the United Nations coalition, the leader of the Dayi Dynasty. I asked your general to come over and speak." The visitor actually replied in Siamese.
"Wait a moment, I'll inform you." the guard replied.
"You have to hurry up, we don't give you much time." The person said.
"knew…"
At this time, Ma Maiya, who was not far away, heard this and looked at Kema, who nodded slightly to him.
After a while, Ma Maiya walked away from the entrance to the city wall where the guard was.
"Our guard has arrived, do you have anything to say?" After receiving Ma Maiya's nod, the guard stuck his head out and shouted to the people below the city.
Then, Ma Maiya slowly revealed her face.
"I am Ma Mai Ya, the guard of this city gate. What do you have to say to me?" Ma Mai Ya asked.
"I am Wu Mo, the commander of the personal army of His Highness the Third Prince. I am not calling you out because I have something to say to you, but I am asking you to call out the city defense general Kema. The next words are the advice given to you by His Highness the Third Prince. ." Wu Mo, the visitor, said arrogantly.
After seeing the endless powerful artillery of the Yi Dynasty and the countless muskets of the Yi Dynasty army, Wu Mo felt deeply honored that he could surrender with the third prince Wenlin and become a member of the suzerain United Nations.
In his opinion, anyone who goes against the Yi Dynasty's army is no different than seeking death. As a dependent of a strong man, how can he lose the face of a strong man?
Moreover, His Highness the Third Prince is right. It is not shameful for them to persuade them to surrender. They are just trying to save the lives of their people. If it were not for the Third Prince's intervention, the people in the city would have been slaughtered by the coalition forces.
