When the last ray of sunset sets, when the last tired bird returns to its nest.
In He Sandao's telescope, a dark line appeared on the distant horizon.
"Attention all units, the enemy has arrived. Everyone, brace yourselves and prepare for battle!"
With He Sandao's order, the entire city wall suddenly became busy.
"Notify all units: Even if it takes only the last soldier to defend this city wall for five days!"
"Tell all the soldiers, don't be afraid of death! In eighteen years, we will be heroes again!"
"Tell them that they are soldiers of Daxia. Even if they die in battle, their families will receive a generous pension! Their children or parents will be supported by Daxia!"
"Tell them that there are no cowards among Daxia's soldiers!"
When these words were passed down, they sounded like a fairy tale to the Liao Dynasty soldiers.
"Is this true?"
"Is he trying to trick us?"
"You know nothing! Daxia is really like this. Even if we die, the country will erect a monument to preserve our names for future generations to worship!"
"So do you know why Daxia's soldiers are so powerful? They fight without worries. The country is their strong backing. Unlike us in the Liao Dynasty, we are just cannon fodder."
“…”
Under Cui Mingyue's deliberate arrangement, Daxia's policies gradually spread among these Liao soldiers.
Those Liao soldiers went from disbelief to half-belief and then to... they had no chance to think anymore because the enemy had already arrived.
Among the massive enemy troops, 100,000 were wearing bright armor similar to that of the Daxia soldiers. They stood in the front and were probably the main force in the siege.
Cui Yueming had been holding the telescope and searching carefully, but... he did not see Su Changsheng in front of the enemy camp.
In such a big battle, didn’t Su Changsheng come to command it personally?
Where did he go?
Cui Yueming suddenly had a bad idea - His Majesty's tour group has arrived at Chi Lechuan, and His Majesty did not hide their whereabouts. Could it be that Su Changsheng is... ?
Your Majesty is surrounded by Bei Wangchuan, Ning Siyan, and Xu Xinyan, three Saint-level beings. Even if Su Changsheng had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to defeat three Saint-level beings.
Where on earth had he gone? What did he want to do?
Cui Mingyue put down the telescope, quickly wrote a small note, and released a carrier pigeon. No matter what, the safety of His Majesty was involved in this matter, and he could not be careless.
…
Yuan Biao was still commanding his 100,000 city guards. At this moment, he looked at the huge army standing solemnly outside the city and took a breath - can they defend this city?
He swallowed his saliva and surrendered to Da Xia. Could it be that he would be destroyed by the Thunder Army so soon?
The owner of Dading Mansion has changed in just one day. Could it be that it is going to change again?
What should I do?
Just when he was feeling uneasy, a slap landed on his shoulder. Yuan Biao was so frightened that he shuddered and turned around to see He Sandao.
"Are you scared?"
Yuan Biao pursed his lips. He Sandao smiled and said, "It's normal to be afraid. It's not that I look down on you. The enemy has more people than us, which is not a big deal in the eyes of the Great Xia Army."
"Come on, let me show you how powerful the Marines are. Look at those idiots down there. Tell me if you find anyone you dislike."
Yuan Biao couldn't figure out what He Sandao meant. He pointed nervously and said, "The guy standing in the front!"
"Okay, watch carefully!"
Then Yuan Biao saw He Sandao take a gun from his back.
This is a Mauser rifle, which is different from a flintlock rifle. He Sandao stood there holding the rifle. The distance from here to the enemy who looked like a general was about 400 meters, which was far beyond the range of the flintlock rifle.
He Sandao aimed at the general. The general seemed to sense a death gaze. He raised his telescope and turned to look at He Sandao.
Then he grinned and shook his head, thinking that the man was also arrogant. He was about to put down the telescope when his pupils suddenly shrank!
"Bang……!"
The first shot of the defense of Dading Prefecture was heard from the top of the city wall.
The general saw with his own eyes a black dot coming out of the muzzle of the gun, and in that instant, “Puff…!”
The binoculars in his hand fell to the ground, and there was a thumb-sized bullet hole on his forehead - he was wearing a bulletproof helmet!
But the bullet penetrated his helmet and lodged in his head.
There was no splash of blood as he fell to the ground.
He Sandao put away his gun and patted Yuan Biao on the shoulder. "What's the matter? They're just a bunch of rookies. What are you afraid of?"
This shot had amazing effects!
First, the enemy troops under the city wall suddenly retreated a hundred feet!
Then the defenders on the city wall burst into thunderous cheers.
When they saw the lonely corpse under the city wall, they realized how powerful the Daxia Marines were.
Such a long distance!
They actually killed the guy with just one shot. With them on the city wall, there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Brothers, the enemy is a paper tiger. Hold the city walls! Our reinforcements are on the way. Once this battle is over... I'll treat you to drinks and a visit to a brothel!"
"good……!"
The morale of the defenders suddenly rose. Tang Qianjun looked at He Sandao meaningfully - there are more than 300,000 Liao soldiers, how much silver can you, a small landlord, afford to hire them?
Besides...even if all the brothels in Dading Prefecture were open, they wouldn't be enough!
However, this guy's method of boosting morale is very good. Now it seems that these Liao soldiers will no longer have much intention of defecting.
Thunder Army commander Lou Yingzong frowned deeply - he had lost a brigade commander before the battle even started!
The distance was at least four hundred meters, and the brigade commander was wearing bulletproof armor!
The bulletproof armor didn't protect me!
Then the Daxia army must have been equipped with new weapons!
In this battle, Su Changsheng gave him full command. He gave the order to retreat and also gave the order to rest in place.
The city is here, you can't run away.
He now needs to reconsider the opponent's strength - Su Changsheng said that there are only 20,000 Marines in this city, and the rest are a mob.
Su Changsheng's order to himself was to capture the city early tomorrow morning.
Fighting against 20,000 with 450,000 men… This mission was not difficult, but the sound of gunfire seemed to wake him up from his dream, and he suddenly felt that this mission was a bit troublesome.
An hour later, the sky gradually darkened and a bright moon rose. Lou Yingzong issued the order to attack the city:
"All troops, attack the city! Kill them all!"
He Sandao also issued an order: "All Marines, open your eyes and shoot the armored soldiers with your guns, and kill the others with your swords. Don't shoot me randomly!"
"The rest of the tribes...shoot arrows, shoot those without armor!"
The battle became intense in an instant.
The Thunder Army surged forward like a tide, countless of them actually flying straight towards the wall—He Sandao was shocked. The other side actually had so many martial arts masters?!
"Shoot those birdmen with your guns!"
"Knock them all down for me!"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Bursts of dense gunfire rang out, and corpses fell from the air.
Some people flew to the top of the city wall, and some climbed up along the rope ladder.
"Kerosene! Kerosene, bring the rolling stone kerosene up to me...!"
