"General He, Shi Jiaqi, you must have heard it from Humamu. I would like to ask the two soldiers of the Tang army in the city to persuade the surrender of the city. I wonder if they are willing?" Aziz looked at He Pu and Shi Xin and asked eagerly. The language he used was of course the big divine language.

"Can I ask: Why do you ask the two of us to surrender?" He Pu did not answer immediately, but asked back, using Dashiyu.

"To be honest with General He, I have no other way to imagine. I can only ask the two of you to persuade me to surrender." Aziz showed a wry smile on his face and explained.

"In October of the previous year, the army came to the city of Jieshan, surrounded the city and immediately began to attack fiercely. At that time, everyone thought that they would break through the city in a short time and capture the soldiers and residents in the city.

But unexpectedly, the defenders in the city were extremely tenacious in resistance and fought to the death. More than 6,000 were killed in the headquarters of our army, and more than 3,000 of the Gelulu army were killed at that time. Although almost 5,000 Tang soldiers were killed, there were still at least 5,000 soldiers in the city, and there were still unknown young and middle-aged men who could be summoned. Everyone thought that they should not continue to fight, so they decided to leave 12,000 soldiers to surround the city, and all the remaining soldiers rushed to Luzhou.

Oh, you all know the result of the Battle of Luzhou. It was a failure and a crushing defeat. In fact, it was funny. The soldiers who were left outside Jieshan City were in a low mood, but instead rushed to attack Oh, the people in Luzhou were very happy; now it should be the opposite." At this point, Aziz couldn't help but chuckled.

"Get back to the point. After the army rushed to Oluzhou, the left-behind soldiers began to surround Jieshan City under my leadership. At first, this siege was just to prevent the soldiers in the city from coming out to cut off our army's logistics supply line and ensure that the army in Oluzhou could obtain enough supplies.

But as the Battle of Oluzhou continued longer and longer, in addition to ensuring the safety of logistics supplies, we also tried to use up all the food in the city and seize Jieshan City without fighting. According to common sense, such a civilian who did not have a complete sense before the war, and there would not be too much food in the city with only 5,000 guards, and it should be used up in March of the following year. After that, the soldiers in the city would open the city to surrender for a while.

Our guess is half correct. According to the news we obtained later, the city had enough food for 5,000 soldiers to eat for a year before the war. Later, because someone fled from Suiye Town, the grain reserves quickly decreased. Even if they were later replenished, before our army surrounded the city, the food in the city was only enough for more than 10,000 people in the city to eat for six months. In April last year, the food was basically exhausted.

But our guess is that it has been nearly a year since April last year, and the soldiers in the city have not yet surrendered!"

Speaking of this, Aziz's mood became a little excited. After a while, he recovered and continued: "In May last year, a Tang soldier escaped from the city and surrendered to our army. From this person, we learned that at this time, the soldiers in the city had only 800 grams of daily rations, and the non-soldiers had only 400 grams of food, and only food, no vegetables or meat. You should know what such a small amount of rations represents.

After learning this news, everyone was very excited and felt that they were about to occupy the city. Some people joked that we seized the city earlier than the Governor and made more contributions.

But another month passed and the city had not opened; soldiers were still stationed on the top of the city. At this time, two more soldiers fled and told us that the soldiers' daily rations were only 400 grams, and the non-soldier's rations were only 200 grams.

We are excited again because this little food is not enough to supply the human body's needs. If they do not open the city, they will soon starve to death, or lose the power of resistance, and we will soon enter the city.

The city still did not open a month later, but we were used to it. It was July, and the situation in Luzhou was very bad. We decided to launch an attack and seize the city in order to make the supply line smoother.

Everyone thought they would not encounter any resistance, and they would only see skinny dead people or dying people. We guessed halfway: the people in the city do look like dead people, literally thin; but they did not give up on resistance!

It seems that a gust of wind will push the people who are blown off the city to the ladder with all their strength, and manipulate the catapult cart to launch stones and launch arrows to shoot soldiers. When our soldiers rushed to the city, they waved their spears with their swords with their arms as thick as the pole of the spear to fight with our army. Moreover, the weather was gloomy on the day, which made the Tang soldiers look even more terrifying.

The soldiers of our army who rushed to the city wall immediately collapsed. They thought that it was not the living people who fought with them, but zombies, or the devil who returned to the earth from hell. All the soldiers howled and threw down their weapons, turned and jumped off the city wall, regardless of their chance of falling to death, just to stay away from the devil as quickly as possible. I am glad that it was summer, and there were not many soldiers who died and injured, otherwise our army would have lost a large number of troops due to this.

Afterwards, although we generals repeatedly told the soldiers that the enemy in the city was a living person and not a devil, and their combat effectiveness was very low and could be easily defeated, the soldiers still refused to obey the orders and only surrounded Jieshan City and were unwilling to attack the city again. We could only follow the soldiers' ideas.

Then the army led by the Governor himself retreated from the city of Oluzhou, and an order came to annihilate the independent Gelulu army and demote everyone to slaves. Faced with such an order, the soldiers immediately agreed and actively implemented it, and were very brave in the battle. They successfully captured all Gelulu people, and did not escape.

Taking advantage of the victory, I persuaded the soldiers to attack Jieshan City. After repeated persuasion, two teams of thousands agreed to launch an attack the next day.

For some reason, the weather on the second day was also very gloomy. Although it did not rain, the sun was completely covered. I felt something was wrong at that time and wanted to order the attack to postpone it until the third day. But I thought that I finally persuaded the soldiers to attack, and if they postpone it, they might regret it, so they did not postpone it.

And you can all guess that the soldiers rushed to the top of the city and jumped down or climbed down the ladder, shouting "Devil, Devil".

From then on, I completely gave up the idea of ​​siege and starved everyone in the city to death. But when I was chatting with Hu Mamu yesterday, I suddenly remembered that I could try to persuade the surrender. So I invited you two and asked you to help the Tang army soldiers in the city to persuade the surrender."1603469899
