Chapter 731 Bloody Meat Grinder 4

Ling Xudu was depressed now. He didn't expect that the two masters who came with him were so incompetent and were later killed by them.

One versus one was still a problem, let alone now it was one versus four. The thirty-sixth stratagem was the best strategy. He immediately made a feint, turned around and flew towards the city.

Zhao Yiming smiled coldly, then popped out a steel ball and hit the Huantiao point on his leg. His legs suddenly went weak and he lost his balance in the air. He rushed down and fell.

He was definitely the saddest death in the history of the master. He actually hit his head on a Juma post and his brain burst. However, he was able to crack a pure steel Juma post, which was considered a good head.

The people of the Hai Clan who were watching from a distance were speechless at this moment. They didn't expect their defense to be so strong, and a master-level expert would die as soon as he said so.

Gong Yingming shook his head gently and said: "There is no need to send cannon fodder to die. The troops on the other side's city wall are not elite troops at all. The harassment tonight failed. We will attack tomorrow morning."

The Sea Clan soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses on the ground. The people cheered. This was the first time they killed the Sea Clan with their own hands.

Zhao Yiming smiled slightly. Now that the people's hearts and morale are available, it shouldn't be a big problem to hold on for a few days. However, he always has a feeling in his heart that this time it will not be so simple. The crisis does not come from the opposite Sea Clan, but from the strife within the empire. .

During the morning meeting the next day, he suddenly asked: "The reinforcements we are waiting for this time are actually your direct forces, sent from other cities!"

Guan Lianshan was slightly startled and said: "It is mainly the three inland cities. The reinforcements sent to each city will be 300,000. This has been booked before."

Tang Ming's eyes narrowed and he said: "What Master Zhao means is that there will be problems with the reinforcements. It is our established national policy to treat the Sea Tribe. No one should be so bold!"

Li Wenwen smiled slightly at this time and said: "It depends on how big the benefits are. If the benefits are enough, it is even possible to betray the country, not to mention not sending reinforcements. You can find many excuses. As long as you come here half a month later, this The city cannot be defended."

Guan Lianshan pondered for a moment and said: "Yunyao, you rush to the three cities immediately, but don't go to the city lord's palace. If they don't mobilize reinforcements, then you will be in the tiger's mouth.

If they stand still, they will immediately go to Dancheng, go directly to find the eldest prince, explain the situation to him, and the eldest prince will naturally make the decision for us. "

In fact, just as they expected, Tongcheng, the city closest to them, showed no sign of mobilizing reinforcements at all. The city owner Cui Minghe was originally a close aide of the second prince.

After the second prince lost power, he became a character that his grandma did not care for and his uncle did not love. This guy was greedy. He actually had an affair with the Hai Clan, accepted a large amount of bribes from the other side, and stood still here.

He is now sitting in the hall, and his general said to his clan: "Now the Sea Clan is attacking Red Sun City. According to our advance plan, we should organize our troops and rush to the rescue quickly, just waiting for the city lord's order."

Cui Minghe waved his hand casually and said: "What nonsense are you talking about here? I only have these soldiers left. If we defeat them all, I will not become the bare commander."

Now there is no backer. If these soldiers are lost again, then I will become a piece of fish at the mercy of others. You think I am stupid. Don't mention sending troops again in the future. "

Xiang Qizong said quickly: "But once Red Sun City is lost, the entire coastal defense line will collapse. At that time, the people will be in dire straits, and the entire hinterland will be under the butcher's knife of the Hai Clan. Sir, you cannot do it for your own selfishness. Disregarding righteousness."

Cui Minghe said angrily: "Stop chirping with me here. Are you the city lord or am I the city lord? I have the final say on this matter, so get out of here."

Feng Qingyun, the lord of Maple City, another city, was the uncle of the sixth prince Ying Kai. He had already organized his troops and prepared to send troops to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by his wife Wen Jing, who said thoughtfully: "Now the situation in the court is unclear, the second prince has been sent to the ancestral temple, and the fifth prince is extremely powerful.

As the sixth prince's uncle, you are his support outside. This time the Hai Clan is in serious trouble. If we send troops rashly, we will definitely suffer huge damage.

Although the Guan family has always remained neutral, they are actually leaning towards the eldest prince. We might as well take this opportunity to weaken their power.

Sending spies to keep an eye on them, and then sending troops to rescue them when they really can no longer support them, will make them consume a lot of sea people, and our risk will be much smaller. "

Feng Qingyun hesitated and said: "But the situation on the battlefield is changing, and if you are not careful, it will cause a disaster. What if there is an accident and Red Sun City is breached?"

Wen Jing said calmly: "That's because we failed to rescue the three cities. It won't be a big deal if we don't blame everyone. Moreover, I heard that Zhao Yiming has arrived at Red Sun City. It's not a big deal for the Hai Clan to break through there." Easy things.”

Feng Qingyun sighed softly and said: "But this will inevitably lead to a loss of life. Those people who died, how can you let me see them in person?"

Wen Jing said very calmly: "Since ancient times, big things have not been restricted to trivial matters. As long as the sixth prince ascends to the throne in the future and implements benevolent policies, it will be a blessing to the people."

Feng Qingyun finally nodded sadly and suppressed the order to send troops. He postponed the date of sending troops for four days on the pretext that he needed to mobilize some food and grass.

Among the three cities, only Tie Yanqing, the lord of Steel City, eagerly led his Iron Legion and rushed non-stop to Red Sun City. However, he was the farthest away and it would take three days to arrive.

The Hai Clan's attack on the second day was very fierce. This time, the cannon fodder army took the lead, focusing on consuming the opponent's machines. As soon as Zhao Yiming saw the opponent change their tactics, he immediately knew that there was a problem with the reinforcements.

But there was nothing he could do. The other party was a naked conspiracy, and he had to accompany him to the end. Although the machine was powerful, it was very badly worn.

Take the Pili car as an example. Repairs are definitely out of the question. You can only remove the good parts and reassemble a new Pili car. Only five or six of them can be assembled into one.

As for the red-coat artillery that he had high hopes for, the chamber explosion phenomenon was getting more and more serious. The machine factory in Hongri City was simply unable to make barrels that met the requirements.

Although their casualties were still very few the next day, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his eyes, because the machinery was severely damaged and more than half of it could no longer be used.
