The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 378: The Troops Arrive at Kunshidu

"Okay, I see. That's not surprising." Bai Qi nodded and said, "Inform the scouts to keep a close eye on the enemy and report any signs of movement immediately."

"I obey your command!"

The deputy general turned and left.

"It seems the opponent is going to play it safe, but...Quincedu, you have to win in the end."

Bai Qi looked at the mountains in the distance and a smile appeared on his lips.

As a transportation hub between the eastern and northern provinces of the Arab Empire, Kunshidu is of great importance.

Therefore, for Lux, both Kunz must be taken, otherwise there would be no point in him leading his army here, and the eastern province of the Arabs would also be in danger.

Bai Qi took advantage of this and captured Kunshidu first, forcing the enemy to become the attacking party.

Moreover, this is an open conspiracy, and the enemy has no choice.

.........

Three days later.

After three days of rest, the Arab army finally set out for Kunshidu.

But the army's marching speed was not fast. They only marched twenty miles a day, and it took three days to complete the fifty-mile journey.

Lux also had to be careful, fearing that he would be ambushed by Daqian during the march.

The Daqian cavalry has always been famous.

And when the Arab army arrived at the capital of Kunming three days later.

Lux did not choose to set up camp at the foot of the city, but instead camped at the foot of a mountain southwest of the city, a full five miles away from the city of Kunshi.

Daqian's explosives were always a nightmare for the Arabs. The Arabs fought against Daqian three times, and Daqian blew up their camps and wiped out the entire Arab army three times.

Lux knew this, of course, so he didn't dare to set up camp under the city, for fear that Daqian would bury explosives and cause disaster.

.........

"General Bai, the Arab army has set up camp."

"It seems they are afraid of our bombing and have moved their camp so far away."

Seeing this scene, Li Mu said with a smile.

"That's natural. After all, they can't make the same mistake again."

Bai Qi smiled.

Then he ordered all the officers, "Be extra vigilant tonight."

"promise!"

All the generals responded one after another.

Bai Qi nodded, turned around and returned to the tent to rest.

...............

The next day.

Bai Qi got up early and went to the city wall.

At this time, the Arab army had already lined up and was preparing to launch an attack.

"Woooooooo..."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the trumpet sounded and 50,000 Arab troops marched towards Kunshidu in formation.

The leader of the team was named Moka.

This man was also one of the famous generals of the Arab Empire. He was tall and strong, with a full beard and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

He was wearing a red armor with white patterns, and had two long swords on his waist. It was obvious that he was a veteran of many battles.

The distance of five miles was quickly reached. Ten minutes later, Moka led the army to stop eight hundred meters outside the city, which was beyond the range of bows and arrows.

Bai Qi looked at the slowly approaching enemy army with an indifferent look on his face.

He had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the enemy to attack and then continuously consuming the enemy's forces.

"Soldiers, kill them!"

After a moment, Moka raised his sword and shouted.

"kill!"

In an instant, 50,000 Arab troops rushed towards the city of Kunshi with shouts.

"Fire arrows!"

Bai Qi shouted coldly, and the archers on the city wall all released their bowstrings.

swish swish...  

Feather arrows shot out from the air and flew towards the charging enemy.

"Pfft..."

"what……"

Accompanied by wailing, some enemy soldiers were shot by arrows and fell down, their blood dyed the ground red, and more enemy soldiers fell to the ground injured.

But the arrows did not stop the enemy, and they continued to charge bravely.

"kill!"

A centurion roared and rushed to the city first, waving a scimitar.

"boom!"

"boom!"

......

Soon after, more soldiers rushed to the city, then quickly set up ladders and began to climb up.

"Go!"

"Charge forward and capture the city!"

............

Seeing the enemy climbing up, the defenders did not show any mercy.

The archers launched more intensive shooting, while the spearmen were at the forefront, using stabbing, slashing, sweeping and other methods to knock the enemy soldiers off the ladders one by one, or directly kill them.

For a moment, the two sides fought fiercely.

But it was obvious that the defenders had the advantage. They had the city walls for protection, they were in a dominant position, and they had archers to suppress the enemy. It was difficult for the enemy to attack the city walls.

Even if some of them rushed up the city wall, they would be quickly killed.

After attacking for half an hour and suffering more than thousands of casualties, the Arab army was forced to withdraw.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the first attack failed and the losses were so heavy, Moka couldn't help but curse.

But he also knew that it was impossible to capture the city in one go.

Moreover, there are quite a few Daqian defenders in the city.

"Take a short break and continue the attack." Moka said coldly.

No matter what, he will take over Queenstown

.......

On the other side, the enemy camp.

"General, in the battle just now, even if we take over Kunshidu, I'm afraid the losses will be huge."

A lieutenant said to Lux.

"Yes, I know that, but we have to win no matter how big the loss is."

"But on the other hand, you have to realize that the enemy will also suffer losses, right?"

"Our mission is to destroy this group of enemy troops."

"So even if our army suffers heavy losses, it will be worth it as long as we can completely destroy the enemy."

Lux sneered.

"I understand." After hearing Lux's words, the deputy general immediately understood.

"Just watch carefully, this siege will probably take a long time."

Lux said as he looked at Kunstdu in the distance.

"General, urgent news." Suddenly, a scout came running to report.

"Oh? What's the urgent news?"

Lukes asked.

The scout immediately submitted an urgent report.

"What? General Adru's entire army was wiped out?"

"How can this be?"

Lux was shocked when he saw the urgent report.

This urgent message was sent from the imperial capital, saying that the Adel army had been completely wiped out.

Looking at this urgent message, Lusk was shocked and couldn't understand how Adel was defeated?

Adlu was a famous general of the Arab Empire with strong command ability. Why did his entire army be wiped out in just a few days?

This is simply unbelievable.

Of course, the dispatch contained a detailed report on the battle, mentioning that the main reason for Adel's defeat was the enemy's possession of powerful artillery.

But this made Lukes even more puzzled.

What kind of artillery could lead to the annihilation of an army of 300,000, without even a single deserter.

Where in the world can you find such powerful artillery?

Could it be Daqian’s new weapon?

But if that's the case, then it's troublesome.

Because the enemy opposite him must have the same artillery, but has not used it yet, perhaps preparing to give him a thundering blow.

Thinking of this, Lux felt extremely worried.

"But regardless of whether this artillery exists or not, I must capture Kunshidu."

He was silent for a long time before he looked up and murmured as he looked at Kunshi in the distance.

Adlu has already failed, he can't fail again, otherwise...

"Pass the order down, order the Second Legion to prepare to take over the attack."

"Yes!"

The deputy general responded and left in a hurry.
