Molested Zulong at the beginning

With Bai Su's wave of hand.

The long wooden pole made a sudden turn, and the boulder weighing more than 200 kilograms was thrown out immediately after making a turn in the air, showing a perfect parabola.

After a moment.

Everyone saw a mountain in the distance, with a burst of smoke and dust, the trees along the way were directly smashed through, and the boulder hit the mountain wall heavily without slowing down.

There was a dull roar.

A corner of the mountain in the distance was directly erased, and gravel fell from time to time.

For a while, the surroundings were silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the damaged mountain wall in the distance, a little unbelievable.

The soldier operating the return gun was also in a daze.

He never expected that this thing was so powerful that it could make a loud noise like thunder, and the hard rock was smashed apart.

This is almost the power of a god.

Even Meng Yi was taken aback by this terrifying power.

In addition to the astonishment, there was another burst of ecstasy in her heart.

In the face of this terrifying weapon, the so-called dangers and cities in the past seemed a little insignificant.

After all, no matter how strong the city wall was, it would not be able to hold back this overwhelming boulder.

"My lord, I don't know how many return cannons can be built. If we can build one or two hundred of them, Loulan Kingdom can be razed to the ground with this thing alone."

Looking at the excited Meng Yi, Bai Su couldn't laugh or cry: "You treat this thing as cabbage, and you can have as much as you want."

"It takes time and effort to make this thing. We don't have enough materials, and we don't have so many craftsmen. It's not easy to make a dozen or so. You want hundreds more."

"This thing is mainly used to help you open the city gate and smash down the city wall. As for the capture of Loulan, it still depends on the sword in your hand."

Meng Yi scratched his hair in embarrassment: "That's what I said casually. If a dozen or so can break through the city wall, that's enough. As for the rest, leave it to me."

Bai Su looked at Meng Yi who put on his helmet and looked heroic, and shook his head involuntarily.

In fact, there is another way to defeat Loulan Kingdom without a single soldier, for example, throwing the corpses of livestock into Loulan Kingdom, causing a large-scale spread of plague.

Just besiege the city and wait for a month or so to ensure that there are not many living people in the city.

But he didn't want to use such a method.

After all, this method is too inhumane. If it is not controlled properly, the plague may spread throughout the Western Regions. When the time comes, the Yuezhi Kingdom and the Central Plains army may also be implicated.

and……

Compared with simply getting a piece of empty and uninhabited land, a prosperous trade in the Western Regions is more beneficial to Xianyang.

The kings who recovered the Western Regions came to be younger brothers, and let them go to Xianyang to play music and dance together for the political sister.

By the way, it is not good to help the Central Plains to transport silk and porcelain to the outside, and let a large amount of gold, silver, cattle and horses flow into the Central Plains continuously.

Chapter 190 The sixth is over, everything is over

It was approaching dusk.

The red sunset looks a little ominous.

In the city, the high priest of Loulan looked at Xia Jun who was surrounded in the distance but hadn't attacked for a long time. His heart seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and he shook his head unconsciously as he thought deeply.

General Wusun, who was standing next to her at this moment, couldn't help asking, "High Priest, what's wrong?"

"Unknown!"

The high priest of Loulan murmured, this made people a little confused.

She bit her lower lip lightly, and said: "According to the report from the spies, it has been nearly two months since Xia Jun left the fortress. Xia Jun doesn't have much time. It won't be long before the troops should withdraw."

"Under such circumstances, we should seize the opportunity to attack fiercely and make a final fight. However, Xia Jun has been slow to make any moves these days. Don't you think it's a little abnormal?"

General Wusun looked stunned for a moment, walked slowly up to the top of the city, looked at the Xia army in the distance, and said with a smile: "The Xia army has been attacking fiercely for nearly ten days, but they have not been able to advance a single bit. Now they have almost consumed all their food and supplies. , what's so strange about giving up the attack?"

The High Priest of Loulan shook his head: "No, if the Xia army gives up, they can retreat at this point, but they still surrounded the city and dispatched a large number of troops from the rear. Obviously, it is impossible to stop with such a large battle."

High Priest Loulan's worried tone made General Wusun feel a little uneasy.

She frowned slightly and asked, "You mean... what tricks does Xia Jun have?"

The High Priest of Loulan bit his finger and said, "I don't know what Xia Jun's plan is, but that Bai Su is definitely not a person waiting to die. He cleaned up the secret operations in Yueshi's country and dispatched a large number of supplies to the front line, but for several days in a row It’s not normal that there’s been no action.”

General Wusun said with a smile: "The high priest doesn't need to worry, let him try to lure you, we just need to be as immovable as a mountain, relying on the advantage of the city, relying on arrows and rolling stones, we can make it difficult for them to attack."

"As long as it is delayed for ten days and a half months, the Xia army will have to retreat when the food and grass are exhausted. When the time comes, the enemy will retreat and we will advance, and we will take the land back."

Hearing what General Wusun said, High Priest Loulan's complexion improved a lot.

Now the result is indeed as she said, their coalition forces have an absolute advantage, no matter how brave Xia Jun cavalry is, it is impossible to cross this iron-like city wall.

"High Priest, what do you see that is?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice of a soldier came from the side.

The High Priest of Loulan was stunned for a moment, and looked around, only to see the Xia army in the distance mobilized like a tide. He thought that the Xia army was about to attack.

However, they stopped at a distance of about one or two hundred feet from the city, and immediately saw a dozen soldiers walking out of the crowd pushing huge monsters one by one.

"What is this?"

High Priest Loulan frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xia Jun's gourd.

This is to build a high tower, do you want to shoot arrows into the city, but at such a long distance, the arrows can't shoot in at all.

......

......

In the Xia army camp.

"My lord, the angle has been adjusted."

Meng Yi came to Bai Su's side and said with a smile.

Bai Su covered the sun with his hands, looked at the city in the distance, and said with a smile: "The cannon is going to hit her mother, fire me!!!"

Following his order, the flag bearer next to him immediately waved the flag in his hand to pass the signal.

The surrounding soldiers immediately mobilized, lifted hundreds of catties of stones, loaded them, shook the winch, and tightened the rope bit by bit.

A wave of the flag.

"Whoosh!"

Boulders were like meteors, passing through a beautiful parabola, and blasted in the direction of the city.

Some unlucky guards were hit straight and killed on the spot, while some who were not hit were also scratched by the flying gravel.

Although the stone was not very lethal, and only less than a dozen people were killed or injured in one round of bombardment, its deterrent effect was extremely strong.

Seeing the companions around him, without even a chance to react, they died instantly under the boulder. The defenders on the city were stunned, and some couldn't believe it was true.

The originally high morale gradually became depressed.

"This... what the hell is this!!!"

General Wusun looked at the huge boulder that almost scratched his scalp and whizzed past, smashing a gap in the wall bricks behind him, and felt his scalp tingle for a while.

The high priest of Loulan finally realized that something was wrong when he saw the damaged city wall.

She hastily ordered: "Hurry... Hurry up and shoot back, we must drive that thing back, otherwise our city walls will not be able to withstand such rounds of bombardment."

The soldier on the side smiled bitterly and said, "No way, we've tried to fight back since just now, but the arrows couldn't shoot at all."

She followed the trend and saw that the arrows shot by the longbowmen in the city fell to the ground at a distance of tens of feet away from Xia Jun, and the range did not even touch the hem of Xia Jun's clothes.

"This... How is this possible? Could it be that Bai Su is a god who came down to earth, where did he get such a terrifying thing?"

Just when the high priest of Loulan was terrified, another huge boulder was thrown over, with a slight angle, and hit the city gate heavily.

There was only a loud bang, and there was a large crack in the city gate that was originally fixed with iron sheets.

Seeing that the city gate was smashed down again and again, it collapsed, and the city wall collapsed with a big gap.

Facing the Xia army rushing forward in the distance, looking at the black bird flags fluttering in the wind, the morale of the defenders in the city fell to an underestimate in an instant.

General Wusun's face was livid. There are many craftsmen in Loulan, and it is a rare fortified city in the Western Regions. Even their Wusuns are hard to shake, but they did not expect such resistance in front of Bai Su.

With such terrifying siege equipment, who in this world can stop Xia Jun's attack.

General Wusun's mind was full of thoughts, even thinking, if Bai Su led Xia's army to attack Wusun country, how long could he last?

All kinds of thoughts made her tremble involuntarily, as if she saw herself reduced to a miserable state of flesh under the bombardment of huge boulders.

General Wusun couldn't help but look pale and said: "High Priest, let's run away, the green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood."

The High Priest of Loulan smiled wryly and said, "Where can we escape now?"

After all, the coalition forces of their two countries are not opponents of Xia Jun at all. Only relying on the advantages of the city, they can hold on for a while.

Now that the pass here has been lost, Xia Jun can go to Loulan Royal Court unimpeded from now on, just like a tiger and a wolf entering a sheepfold, what resistance is there.

General Wusun was full of anxiety: "Then...then what should I do."

This Wusun and Lou Lan have a close relationship, if Lou Lan forgets, they will not be much better.

"Now our last hope of turning the tables is gone. Continuing to resist will only increase the casualties and cause blood to flow in the city. That's all... vote."

The High Priest of Loulan bit his lip, and said bitterly: "I am dressed in white with a seal, and I am going out of the city to surrender. I am willing to surrender to Daxia as a vassal state. I hope that in exchange for me, Loulan will survive."

General Wusun frowned and said: "But, will Bai Su agree to your request?"

"At this point, do we still have a choice?" High Priest Loulan looked into the distance with complicated eyes.

General Wusun followed her gaze, and saw that the morale of the defenders had completely collapsed during the bombardment just now, and they had little resistance against Xia's attack. Time, the west gate has fallen.

As for where they are, although they can persist for a while longer, the final result may not make any difference, it's just a matter of time.

General Wusun couldn't help but sighed in his heart as he looked at the high priest of Loulan, who looked pale and seemed to have been drained of energy.

It's over, it's over.

Not only Loulan and Wusun have no chance of recovering after this battle, but Xia Jun will also use the prestige of destroying the country this time to frighten the countries in the Western Regions.

Let those big and small countries submit to Daxia one after another and obey orders. After this, the Western Regions will probably be controlled by the Central Plains.

Chapter 190 Seven, My Request Is Big, You Have To Bear With It

In Xia Jun camp.

"My lord, this is the letter of surrender sent by the envoys of Loulan and Wusun. They are willing to respect the Central Plains as the suzerain state, and from then on, they will pay tribute every year and become ministers every year!"

Meng Yi handed Lou Lan's surrender letter to Bai Su's desk, and said with a smile.

Bai Su just glanced at the letter of surrender on the table and lost interest.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Meng Yi couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and asked a little strangely.

"The city of Loulan has been destroyed, and the army has besieged it heavily. The Wusun Kingdom cannot survive alone. It is only a matter of time before they surrender."

"Master is wise."

Meng Yi also nodded in deep agreement.

At this time, Loulan spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a solid city defense, which had been completely penetrated by the overwhelming bombardment of the returning artillery.

The whole country is in panic, the defenders have no fighting spirit, and surrender is a certainty.

And after taking Loulan and Wusun Kingdom, nearly half of this huge Western Region has fallen under the control of the Central Plains. There is no other country in the entire Western Region that can confront the Central Plains.

The rest are small countries like Chechi, Jingjue, Kucha, etc.

Although it seems that there are many states, in fact most of them have a population of less than [-] or [-], and few of them are powerful.

It can be said that the Central Plains has now become the new overlord of the Western Regions, and orders to the Western Regions are just around the corner.

But at this moment, Bai Su couldn't see much joy on his face, which made Meng Yi somewhat puzzled.

"My lord, what's the matter, but what's wrong?"

Facing Bai Su, Meng Yi couldn't help asking.
