524 approach
The main camp of the Great Food Army, when Akberinamu, Kiyanush, and Bomyataian were particularly surprised when they heard the news. When asked how Sarabaddi died, all of them looked a little solemn. They have all seen artillery, and they have no way to contend with such a weapon.
Military Counselor Kiyanush said: "Commander Akberinamu, it's not going to work like this. We are too passive and we must find a way."
Akberinamu certainly knew that this would not work, but siege was the simplest and most effective way. The Fire Hunting Army left them too deep a mark. This is not an army that can be won at will. He dared to continue fighting with the Huoxun Army here, because the food army was well prepared and the number was many times that of the enemy, as long as he continued to besiege the city.
If he were to force him to attack the city like Elhagen did, he might not dare now. After all, the gap in military equipment is not so big. Just as he thought about it, Bomiyataean said: "Akbe Commander-in-Chief Rinamu, otherwise, we will put people in ambush in a barracks. Anyway, these damn fire seekers will only fight hundreds or thousands of people each time they go out. As long as our cavalry can stop them, we will I can get these weapons."
Akberinamu nodded his head, so that not only can he blow the opponent's arrogance, but also get the opponent's weapon, which can kill two birds with one stone. Now, their interest in these weapons is great, and the importance of these weapons is much more valuable than shooting Huoxun.
"Okay, just do this. I believe Allah will bless us. You take the cavalry to the eastern camp and wait. Today they attacked the two northwest camps, and tomorrow they will definitely attack the eastern camp."
After Akberinamu finished speaking, Kiyanush added: "My respected Akberinamu commander, we'd better prepare for the manpower in the west camp, in case they go to the west again tomorrow. Daying is provocative, and preparation is better than unprepared."
"Well, Bomiya Tai'an, you take ten thousand cavalry to the east camp and wait, and then let eight thousand cavalry go to the west camp of Jalari. Act tonight, not let Huoxun see it, Otherwise, they wouldn’t show up. I’m here to wish you success in advance."
Bomiya Tai'an got up and saluted: "I will do what you tell me. As long as they dare to come, I will make them pay the price."
Jalari in Xiying has 3,000 cavalry in his hand, plus 8,000, he would make up 10,000 people, and force the attack with 10,000 cavalry by surprise, not to mention hundreds of them, even if there are more. One or two thousand people can also be close, as long as they are close, their opportunity will come, and now it depends on whether Huoxunren will make another move.
In the bastion to the northwest, Li You is very satisfied with today's results. As long as this effect can be achieved tomorrow, it won't be long before this place will end. So, today he and Heizi and others had a drink.
After Zhang Da threw a few beans in his mouth, he asked Li You, "Young Master, what do you think the Big Cannibal would do? You won't just keep getting beaten like this, right?"
Li Youzheng was drinking with a cup, and he didn’t answer immediately. Heizi said, “You should have seen it today. They didn’t dare to fight. Every time we set up an artillery formation, we were far away. What's the matter? Even if there is an ambush on the bastion's post, you can see clearly, what is afraid of.
Li You then said: "I can't guess how the big cannibals will do it, but I know that they will not be passively beaten like this, but no matter what, just like Heizi said, we can do it tomorrow. They have nothing to do with us at a time. If they dare to go to war, I would like to see it. After all, this can consume a lot of the opponent's troops. This is what we want."
Dong Kui asked a practical question. He asked, "Young Master, we don't have many bombs. Will we continue tomorrow?"
Li You can’t do anything about it. Apart from the ones that have been consumed, the bastions are also equipped with a little bit. There is really not much left here. It is not easy to make this by itself. It is impossible to make more of it. Speaking of cannonballs, even cast iron cannons use few iron balls, and the people in the workshop are still working hard.
"I won't bring the artillery into the battle tomorrow, and I won't be using it for the time being. Anyway, most of the remaining artillery shells are long fuzes. It's the same if you need to fire from here.
After drinking a little more alcohol, Heizi said to Li You: "Young Master, you said, if we win this battle, will Da Shi send soldiers to attack us? I'm really scared, okay. Guy, it’s an army of 100,000 at every turn. Last time it was lucky. Otherwise, this vast sea city would have long ceased to exist. This time, fortunately, there are artillery. I think, after they know we have such a powerful weapon, they probably won’t. Come on again!"
"Hehe, let's not say much, anyway, within half a year, Da Shi will never come again. I have a plan. If it succeeds, Da Shi will probably not dare to worry about us anymore." Looking at Li You, he didn't understand what he meant.
Li You then said: "Don’t we have the uniforms and armors of the Tang Dynasty? We also have the cavalry equipment of the Khazanite Khanate? Although not many, it is enough to show that we have found a backer. In this way, you say , Will the big cannibal attack here again?"
But Zhang Da followed: "Young Master, blindly defensive is not a good way, why don't we directly attack Da Shi?"
"It's not impossible. It depends on the strength. It is certainly possible to have strength. If not, hehe, it is better not to think about it. If this battle is won, you can recruit a large number of people, and you can once again move to the old place of Sogdian to migrate population. Come here, only when Huoxun is really strong, can he dare to say to go outside, it is indeed early to say this."
Heizi said: "Young Master, if people migrate again, Hanhai City will really be unable to hold it."
Li You smiled and said, "Heizi, why do you think about the Vast Sea City? Can't you also use Hurricane City, the old capital of Huo Xun? The city itself is not too small. You can rebuild the outer wall. It’s ready to use. Build a few small bastions here, plus artillery, and you’re afraid that someone will fight it! Anyway, you have a lot of slaves and prisoners in your hand, and you don’t need to pay any money. You can also pay back when you are close to Hurricane City. There are several small hills, and some of the materials are, even if it is not enough, you can still transport it from Hanhai City.
You have to know that there was cultivated farmland outside Hurricane City. It is not difficult to resume farming. It is close to Khiva City. Then you can slowly restore these cities and wait until they are all restored. At that time, Huoxun's strength will also be the greatest here, and only at that time will Da Shi truly be afraid.
