Chapter 646 Completes the final deployment
As one of the important ports in Europe and Africa, Martin City not only has an excellent port at the northern end, as well as fishery resources, but also the Longxing of Emperor Sakprut. land.
The defense here is not unimportant, especially after Malendi Island was taken away, several legions were stationed here to prevent attacks from the sea.
Except for the army, Martin City has a history of more than a hundred years from a small seaside town to a large trading city. Now it has opened everything up and is completely exposed to the Selis people from the east.
The ignited flames of war lit up the night sky red, and the sounds of fighting were everywhere, sweeping across the city.
In this luxurious manor, densely packed rock-carved stone pillars spread out in a circle, forming a huge open-air garden.
Zhang Liao galloped straight in, then dragged his cloak and strode onto the mottled stone steps with a yellow dragon hook sickle in hand.
Surrounded by soldiers guarding the camp, they all saluted when they saw the general approaching.
“Where is your general?”
“It’s right there!”
A soldier standing on the steps pointed to the place in front of the gauze curtain. Zhang Liao nodded, handed the long soldier in his hand to the soldier, and led only two soldiers over.
After a moment, he walked down the steps, and five feet away, he walked up another stone step.
Wearing two levels of armor and a red cloak, he stood in front of the exotic sculptured building and couldn't help but touch it. Caress these stone pillars that are sometimes sunken and sometimes smooth.
“People from the Western world like these things.”
This is the first time he has entered the city of the Sakprut Empire, and everything he has come here is still in a new state.
Moreover, such exotic style cannot be seen in the East.
However, he also found that both common people and nobles in the Western world seemed to have a special liking for sculptures.
Compared with Daxia, there are fewer patterns of flowers, plants, birds and animals.
“Different lands give birth to different races and cultures.”
From Malendi Island to a small western town, the once-powerful Xiaoyaojin, who was so frightened that children dared not cry, Zhang Liao had a feeling of collision between East and West.
The soldiers on the side looked at their general wearing oriental armor, standing among a group of western buildings, and felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Ahead, noisy sounds reached his ears, interrupting Zhang Liao's thoughts. He withdrew his fingertips from the cold rock pillar and said, "Go in and have a look."
Immediately, he turned around and lifted up the caressing tulle and strode into the garden surrounded by rock pillars.
When the soldiers standing guard at the door saw the general coming in, they paused with their long soldiers, then straightened their backs and shouted: "General Zhang is here!"
Garden The voices and cries stopped suddenly, and everyone looked towards the entrance.
Then he saw a tall General Selis striding down the curved stone steps, dragging his cloak.
Zhang Liao was also looking at the surrounding buildings and the Sakprut people around him at the same time.
In the field of vision, there are pillars carved out of white rocks everywhere, forming a circle. Several long tables of unknown wood are placed in the garden, filled with various snacks and meats not found in the East.
In the middle is a circular shallow pool, with a circle of stone steps extending to the bottom of the pool, and spring water rising in the center of the pool.
However, the clear spring water was now more than half stained with blood. The corpses of two noble guards were lying on the edge of the pool, and the blood was still flowing in.
Dozens of nobles in silk robes and their female dependents were detained together by soldiers trapped in the camp.
Across the way, Gao Shun, who had taken off his iron helmet, was sitting on a chair, letting his soldiers bandage the wound on his arm.
This was when he was wounded by a cold arrow when he captured the city at night. Now that he had arrived, he had time for his soldiers to deal with it.
"What is there to see here, nobleman of Sakprut?"
Zhang Liao walked to the table, picked up a bottle of wine on the table, shook it, and then poured it in Go over and hand the wine glass to Gao Shun.
This is how they were taught to drink wine by Duke Zheng, who had sailed to Southeast Asia on the ship.
"It's better to kill these people as soon as possible." Zhang Liao pulled up a chair and sat next to Gao Shun, looking at the tall, fat man opposite him.
"Wenyuan, don't you want to take advantage of them?"
Seeing that his arm had been bandaged, Gao Shun drank the drink he was handed in one gulp, "After all, the Bingzhou Army and the trapped camp have few people, even if Including Gan Ning and Lu Meng, they only have 40,000 soldiers and horses. If you want to add some turmoil to this barbarian country, it may not be enough."
Over there, Saiyi Ka watched the two people talking. Sanova was quite anxious. Although he didn't understand what they were talking about, his life was already being held by the other party. If he wanted to kill him, wouldn't the hardship he had endured be in vain?
He has only been a lord for a few years.
"Two respected Generals Selis!"
Say Casanova just spoke and wanted to step forward when a soldier from the trapped camp next to him raised his blade and pressed him neck.
The coldness came, and Saiyi Casanova lowered his gaze, glanced at Senhan's blade, and suddenly shuddered.
His plump body was trembling slightly, but his eyes were always fixed on Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in front of him.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao over there probably knew that the other party had something to say, but no one around them could understand. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Liao simply asked people to go outside the city to see if Zhou Yu and others had come ashore and came this way. If so, When he comes, he will lead people here first.
From his perspective, if he could make use of these barbarians, it would save a lot of trouble.
The ordering soldier took a chicken leg that was thrown over, gnawed it with a smile, and ran out quickly, then mounted his horse and headed outside the city.
“You still have time, come and have a meal!”
Zhang Liao is a man who cherishes his soldiers. From the boat to the moment he invaded the barbarian city, many people were still hungry, so he called to those around him The trapped soldiers went to the barbarian table to get food.
The trapped soldiers in the garden of this manor stepped forward one by one and emptied the pastries, barbecues, and fruits on the long table.
No matter whether it tastes good or not, or whether it enters the mouth or not, just hold it nearby and chew it and swallow it.
As for the nobles and women who were squatting on the ground, even if no one was watching them, none of them dared to get up and flee.
Seyi Casanova and Pulin, the owner of this manor, could only watch anxiously as the two Selis generals spoke.
After a long time, almost an hour or so, the messenger who had left earlier had returned. Also coming with him was Zhou Yu, who was dressed in plain armor, and beside him were Gan Ning, Lu Meng, and the female general Elsa.
Zhang Liao smiled and handed the wine he had just poured to Zhou Yu who came over.
"The status of the two people in front should be quite high. Just now Gao Shun reminded me that I might as well make use of them, so I waited for Gong Jin to come over and make up my mind."
Zhou Yuduo Zhang Liao knew about the conspiracy. The two supported each other in both civil and military affairs, so there was no need to fight over who could lead the other.
"General Zhang is so polite."
Zhou Yu took the wine glass and did not drink it. Instead, he turned around and motioned for Elsa to come forward: "You are from here, Sakprut You should be familiar with the language, right?”
"Go back to the Governor, I'm very familiar with you," Elsa's scales were stained with blood. Under her red hair, her beautiful face was staring at the two Martin City nobles opposite. The red lips opened slightly and she asked in Sakprut language: "What do you want to say? Before I kill you now, try my best to use the chips to redeem your lives!"
< br>Sayi Casanova looked at the Selis female general in front of him, especially with her red hair. It was not difficult to tell that she was from Malendi Island.
In his mansion, he kept a Marundi woman.
But he knew that the red-haired female general in front of him could not be compared with the Marundi woman at home, so he said in a pitiful tone: "I want to use all my wealth in exchange for my life. .”
The old man on the side also nodded in agreement: "I am willing too. This manor can be given to you."
Elsa sneered and relayed these words to Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao and others, and immediately It made Zhang Liao and others laugh.
Gan Ning grinned and smiled ferociously: "Elsa, tell them, if you kill them, the property will also be ours."
"These two barbarian idiots! "Lu Meng chuckled.
Zhou Yu held the hilt of the sword and pondered for a moment when Elsa translated and relayed the story, making the two barbarians turn pale with fright, "Elsa, you told them to stop all resistance in the city. , ordered to gather the barbarian troops outside the city, and attack the surrounding cities with us.”
Elsa was a little surprised, but she still followed the translation.
Sayi Casanova over there was shocked when he heard the translator's words. He waved his hands quickly: "No, I will be hanged by Emperor Sacprut..."< br>
Before he could finish his words, Elsa suddenly rushed over and pulled him by the lapel of his clothes. For a moment, her strong female body seemed to have infinite strength, and she directly hit this fat man who weighed more than 200 kilograms. 'He fell to the ground.
Seyi Casanova struggled to raise his face, and what caught his eyes was a shoe sole.
‘Bah! ’
The prints of the combat boots were stamped on his face. Elsa pulled out the knife, and the tip of the knife was instantly pressed against Saiyi Casanova's throat.
“If you say no again, I will kill you now!”
Seyi Casanova is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has never concealed it. He is afraid of his own life. His attention is far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
At this moment, the tip of the knife was pressed against my throat. I had never felt that death would be so close. My crotch was instantly wet.
The burnt yellow liquid flowed out from under the robe and gathered in a large pool on the ground.
He was shaking like a sieve, tilted his neck, swallowed, and stammered: "I...I agree with your instructions."
"You'd better really agree, otherwise you'll have to work hard The fattened flesh may rot in a mud pit."
Elsa slowly retracted the tip of the knife and put it back into the scabbard: "Don't think about using the army to counterattack, otherwise you will die more. Tragic!"
Zhou Yu added: "Also, let them hand over all the food in the city."
Food is the top priority, and Martin City is important. A trading port city, it not only stocks goods traveling from north to south, but also a lot of food for trade, from common rice to fish, livestock, fruits and vegetables.
Faced with the choice before them, Sai Yi Casanova and the old nobleman Pulin simply did not dare to refuse.
In order to save their lives, they would basically agree to anything. Naturally, the detained nobles over there heard what Elsa had just said, and they also rushed to donate their family's food, belongings, and even slaves. Salis.
“It seems that those who understand current affairs are heroes, and they can work anywhere.”
Zhou Yu smiled, and Zhang Liao on the side patted him gently on the shoulder, “Gong Jin has worked hard. One night, I quickly transferred the food, but I haven't had a good meal for a long time."
"This is natural."
They had lost their way at sea and had difficulties with supplies. In order to save food, the state army reduced the meals and supplied them to the sailors who needed to sail the boats.
Now that he has finally reached land and captured the city, Zhang Liao’s first priority is to deal with the belly of his brothers.
Here, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Gan Ning and other naval generals naturally understood the hard work of the Bingzhou Army, and they all clapped their chests and agreed.
In the middle of the night, the shouts of fighting subsided under the appeal of the nobles in the city. A large number of prisoners of war were detained together, and the nobles in the city sent people to instigate rebellion inside.
Soon, many black-skinned slaves began to transport food, loaded it into various vehicles, and drove it to the Selis military camp temporarily stationed outside the city.
There were also a large number of fruits, vegetables and preserved meats in the convoys going in and out. At this moment, the Bingzhou Military Camp was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Many soldiers talked and laughed around the campfire, smelling the aroma of meat and rice wafting from the boiling iron pot. They took off their outer leather armor one by one, preparing to eat and stuff themselves.
In the night, the sound of horse hooves continued on the road. Officials from Martin City rode horses, escorted by Selis cavalry, to join the reinforcements from the Martin City legions.
The east is gradually turning white, and the golden lazy sunshine shines on the port city that has been in turmoil for a night.
Seabirds flapped their white wings and sang around the large and small ships docked in groups.
In the distance, outside Martin City, a long line of people gathered in the wilderness and formed an array outside the city.
Sunlight pours in.
Under the sky, the red helmet tassels are waving in the wind.
Zhou Yu walked up to the city wall and stood behind the wall stacks. He looked at the black military formation in the field. The white bird flapped its wings and flew past his sight. His face was solemn.
"Everyone in the army, the first city of the barbarians is already in our hands, and there will be a second and third city next... You must show us the majesty of China!"
"Wind!"
"Wind!"
In the field of vision, countless figures raised their weapons high. While shouting, Zhou Yu turned around, and his cloak rolled and unfolded in the wind.
In the wilderness, horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts carrying grain drove out of the camp, with black-skinned slaves numbly watching over them.
When the sun shone down, Zhang Liao got on his horse, raised his yellow dragon hook sickle, and pointed it to the east. The blade of the blade faced the rising sun, flashing an icy coldness.
"Let's go!"
They will launch a quick attack again, heading towards another city more than two hundred miles away from here.
......
In this atmosphere, the flag with the word 'Qin' and the word 'Tang' written on the easternmost side of Euphilo have arrived at Nongma City to the east In the wilderness of more than 700 miles.
In the south, a large flag with a dragon pattern and two flags of 'Xia' and 'Su' also appeared on the horizon.
As far as the eye can see, vast amounts of smoke and dust are spreading.
The three armies have joined forces.
