Ever since the vanguard army led by Chi Jingde and others appeared, the King of Dayuan Kingdom had not heard any good news.
Now this guard came over in a hurry to report, and the King of Dayuan thought that Chi Jingde and the others had begun to attack the city.
The king of Dawan State took the lead and asked the guard who sent the message: "Have the soldiers of Chen State begun to attack the city? Which city gate are they attacking?"
The guard paused, used this time to adjust his breathing, and then shook his head and reported: "No, they Chen Guo haven't started to attack the city yet."
After hearing this, the king of Dawan and Upes showed relaxed smiles on their faces, but he couldn't laugh anymore the next second.
"They have another large army coming from the west. Now they have gathered together. There are more than 100,000 horses, and they have surrounded Ershi City on all sides."
Wang Dachui, Shi Wentai and others marched westward, exterminating sixteen kingdoms and killing sixteen kings. The remaining kingdoms all surrendered and accepted the petition as vassals. The number of troops increased more and more, and when they arrived in the Dawan Kingdom, there were a full 140,000 horses.
The king of Dawan Kingdom, Ashida Lungan, asked with a frightened look on his face: "What? How many people did you say?"
The guard replied cautiously: "One hundred...more than one hundred thousand people!"
After confirming that Chen's army numbered more than 100,000, the King of Dayuan's legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground.
The king of Dawan pointed at Upes who had persuaded him with trembling fingers, and said: "You...you...Wubese, you have hurt me!"
Urbais, who was also breaking out in a cold sweat, suddenly said in a hurry and wisely: "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Our Second Master City has two inner and outer cities. It is already late autumn. We only need to hold on for a while longer. When winter comes, they will be gone." Supplies for cold protection, the great Creator will let them see the power of winter."
When the King of Dawan heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and immediately regained his composure.
"Yes, yes, you are right. As long as it snows in winter, those soldiers will become sheep for us to slaughter!"
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
On the second day after Wang Dachui and Shi Wentai gathered their forward troops, Wang Dachui shouted at the four city gates, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender without killing.
The soldiers in the city had actually heard of Wang Dachui's name, and knew that Chen's army was not a group of bloodthirsty troops. The people of the Western Regions who were conquered by them were not bullied or killed at all. On the contrary, all those who blocked them with weapons were slaughtered, which made many soldiers in the city have no intention of resisting.
You know, in this war between the countries in the Western Region, as long as the city is broken, all the men on the losing side will be reduced to slaves, and all the beautiful women will be used as tools for the soldiers to vent their desires.
This was the first time they had seen such a civilized army that only killed the royal family and did not do any harm to the common people.
Therefore, many Dawan soldiers stationed in the outer city had other thoughts in their minds.
Just that night, there was a group of soldiers guarding the city of Dawan. They killed their commander and the soldiers guarding the city gate late at night, and took their heads to the camp of Weiwuwei.
When they learned that the other party was here to surrender, Wang Dachui and Shi Wentai subconsciously thought that the other party was cheating.
However, Wang Dachui still chose three thousand soldiers from the Western Regions to venture into the city gate they called.
As a result, there was no conspiracy or secret ambush, and Wang Dachui and Shi Wentai dared to lead the army into the outer city.
Not to mention Wang Dachui, they didn't expect that they could enter the outer city so easily. Even the king of Dawan Kingdom saw Wang Dachui's flags with sickles and hammers posted everywhere on the walls of the outer city the next morning. King Wan was so stunned that he was speechless.
"What happened? Why did Chen's army silently invade the outer city in one night?"
The guards around the King of Dawan actually knew it, but no one said it explicitly.
The treacherous minister Upes next to the king of the great kingdom said with relief: "My king, don't worry, the walls of our inner city are high and thick. Even if the Chen army is larger in number, they can't attack it!"
The outer city of Ershi City is five or six meters high and is made of rammed earth.
The inner layer is twice as high as the outer layer, a full eleven or twelve meters. And they are all made of stones piled up with glutinous rice paste and glued together.
Once upon a time, many powerful enemies from the Dawan Kingdom had conquered the outer city, but they were helpless against the inner city.
The kings of many countries spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and in the end suffered heavy losses, and they failed to capture the inner city of the Great Kingdom's Second Division City.
For this reason, the treacherous minister Upas was very confident in the defense of the inner city wall. He believed that as long as Dawan persisted until winter came, the final victory would eventually belong to them.
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
After Wang Dachui rewarded the Dawan soldiers who came to surrender last night with a delicious meal of braised beef noodles and ham, he ordered more than twenty artillery pieces to be placed at the thickest part of the wall of Ershi City.
These more than twenty artillery pieces were bombarding one target one after another.
Sounds like thunder and thunder echoed outside the city.
The kings of Dawan Kingdom, Ashida Langan and Wu Peisi, had never seen such weapons before. Every shelling of Wang Dachui's artillery seemed to be a countdown to death.
With each bombardment, Ashida Langan and Upez felt as if their hearts had been struck by a heavy hammer.
As for the people in the Second Division of Dayuan Kingdom, they also thought that Zhou Yi's army was all divine soldiers and generals, otherwise they would not have mastered the power of the God of Thunder.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the thickest part of the Second Division City wall was finally blasted away, creating a gap.
The king of Dawan Kingdom looked at the collapsed inner city wall, and finally couldn't hold it any longer, and his eyes darkened and he fainted.
When the minister of Dawan Kingdom, Segaoli, who had introduced Zhang Huogen and others to meet the king of Dawan Kingdom, saw this, he hurriedly summoned his men, killed the guards of the king of Dawan Kingdom, and killed the unconscious king and the culprit Upes II. He was tied up and sent to the commander-in-chief of Chen State to seek forgiveness.
Although part of the wall of Ershi City collapsed, Wang Dachui still did not rush to attack. Instead, he dispersed the 20 cannons and continued to blast other parts of the city wall.
In fact, if Wang Dachui wants to attack the city, it is very simple. He only needs to mobilize a few cannons and fire a few cannons at the inner city gate of Ershi City. When the gate is blasted, Wang Dachui can lead the army. It was easy to break into the inner city.
The reason why Wang Dachui continued to bombard Ershi City like this was to completely defeat the resistance of the defenders of Ershi City.
Sure enough, soon a white flag representing surrender was erected on the inner city wall.
