The scorching sun was baking the earth.
The officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Army sat motionless on their horses, while the servants turned their heads and swayed their waists one by one, making them very uncomfortable.
Preparations for the siege were in progress, and Mu Ji, who was ordered to lead the siege, was making siege arrangements for his men.
Zhao Ziliang didn't care how Mu Ji prepared to siege the city, he cared about the results.
In terms of military affairs, the Indians really have nothing worthy of praise.
In terms of siege weapons, the only thing Muji can use is siege ladders, not even trebuchets, let alone manholes, ballistas, and rams.
Heavy siege equipment such as vehicles and battering rams.
When Zhao Ziliang saw Mu Ji commanding countless servants carrying siege ladders to forcibly attack the city, he couldn't help but rub his face and waved to Gao Shang.
Gao Shang walked up the steps of the royal chariot and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Send an order to the siege camp and ask them to build siege equipment immediately.
Looking at this guy Mu Ji, I am afraid that he will act recklessly.
If the matter can be accomplished by acting recklessly, that is all.
If it cannot be accomplished, it will be a waste of my king."
Let’s build siege equipment first.
In case this guy is talking big words and Ta’er City cannot be captured within two days, the equipment built by the siege camp can be used immediately.”
"Yes, Your Majesty," Gao Shang agreed and whispered a few instructions to the messengers under the royal chariot.
One morning passed, and none of Muji's men could climb the city wall when they were attacking the city.
This made Muji look very unhappy.
Tianzhu people are lazy and can be seen at any time.
Therefore, no matter what they do, they are lazy and listless.
During the siege, all the servant soldiers cowered.
Even after they rushed to the city, they were still dragging their feet while climbing the siege ladder.
After the siege ended in the morning, the servants abandoned some corpses and retreated like an ebbing tide.
Zhao Ziliang did not continue to look, and waved his hand to let the chariot take him back to the camp.
The lack of progress in the siege in the morning made Mu Ji feel a little uneasy.
He was angry.
He called several generals into the camp and cursed them.
He whipped them severely with a horse whip and threatened that if the siege in the afternoon was still If this makes no progress, he will kill people to establish his authority.
Tianzhu is a good place.
The weather here is hot and the temperature difference is not very big throughout the year.
If you grow rice, you can grow it three times a year.
Due to sufficient sunshine and abundant water resources, as long as you cultivate it well, it will definitely be a high-yield area. , according to Zhao Ziliang’s estimation, as long as India operates Well, the food in India alone can feed the entire population of Western Qin, and India is also rich in mineral resources.
The people here believe in Buddhism and Hinduism, and their temperaments are relatively gentle and weak, and they are easy to rule.
This is also what Zhao Ziliang said The reason why India must be defeated.
The siege continued in the afternoon.
The hot weather made the soldiers of the servant army listless and their morale was a little low.
Under the pressure of the officers, the soldiers of the servant army were sweating and forced to attack the city.
The casualties were even more heavy.
The servant soldiers even suffered from casualties for a time.
Tai Tai was frightened and retreated without an order to retreat.
The siege failed on the first day, which gave Mu Ji a sense of crisis.
He had just boasted in front of Zhao Ziliang that Haikou would be able to capture Taal City in one day, but now the cruelty of reality slapped him twice.
Fortunately, Zhao Ziliang Give him an extra day.
At night, in his tent, Mu Jitie looked at some of his generals with a livid face, and shouted: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and retreat without permission without military orders, you will be punished by the intruder.
Drag him down and kill him."

"Lord, spare your life, spare your life, I am your loyal servant, you can't kill me."
The begging for mercy outside the tent soon stopped.
Muji pointed to the outside and shouted to the men inside the tent: "You see, this is the consequences of being greedy for life and fearing death, and retreating without permission.
We still have the last day tomorrow, and you all must give sacrifices tomorrow."
I must be very energetic and use all my strength to attack the city wall and capture Taal City, otherwise I will kill you all."
"Yes, yes, yes" the generals agreed with a sincere heart.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said to the generals of the Western Qin army while holding a quilt full of coconut juice: "No wonder everything in Tianzhu has been unknown for thousands of years, except for the Buddha who still has some influence.
I bet this is how they fight.
With their siege method, as long as there are enough troops and food in the city, they can continue to defend it."
All the generals laughed.
Gao Shang said: "Since the history of Tianzhu, there has never been any dynasty that has had any influence on the outside world.
Wei Chen believes that this is related to the excessive development of Buddhism and Hinduism.
Almost everyone in Tianzhu is a believer and chants sutras all day long.
It makes people lose their temper at all.
Look at the servants outside.
They look like dead parents and eggplants beaten by frost all day long.
What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?"
Zhao Lei said: "Father, today's siege, I have watched it from beginning to end.
The resistance of these Zhaohan people is indeed very tenacious, much more tenacious than any city we have attacked since we entered Tianzhu.
No wonder Muji’s men and horses will make no progress” Zhao Ziliang said: "They still have one day tomorrow, let's see how the siege equipment is built."
Gao Shang said: "We have built a batch of manholes, rams, battering rams, ballistae and catapults, but the stone projectiles used by the ballistae and catapults are not made because there are too few people."
Zhao Ziliang said: "There are many free Tianzhu people here to use.
Why not send troops to capture a group?
During the conquest period, don't care about anything, just do whatever you want.
If you want to implement benevolent government, you can only implement it after complete conquest."
"Yes, Wei Chen will send troops to the nearby area to capture a group of them."
The next day, after the siege began, Muji personally led the troops to attack the city.
The Zhaohan people in Taer City seemed determined to defend to the end, and every soldier fought to the end.
This made Muji hit the stone again and the attack Casualties continued to increase after the city began Da, Muji knew that if he could not capture Taal City today, a terrible result would be waiting for him, so he began to work hard, constantly urging the soldiers to climb the siege ladder, and killed dozens of them one after another.
A lazy person who works hard but does not work hard.
Under Mu Ji's personal supervision, the servant army also began to attack the city desperately.
From time to time, some people climbed up the city wall and killed the Zhaohan people who were defending the city.
However, even so, they were quickly driven down by the Zhaohan people.
The battle lasted from morning until dark, with neither side taking a break.
Even after the sun went down, Muji still failed to conquer Ta'al City.
The sound of gongs calling for troops to return to camp came from behind, and Muji had no choice but to grit his teeth and jump off the city wall.
When Mu Ji walked into the Chinese army's tent and saw Zhao Ziliang staring at him expressionlessly, he suddenly felt his scalp explode.
He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare your life.
The Zhaohan people are too tenacious.
It's unexpected."
As expected, please give the villain one more day.
If you still can’t capture the city of Taal, you don’t need to order the villain to be killed.
The villain will cut off his head and come to see the king."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Time is precious.
I don't have much time to waste it with incompetent people.

You said before that you could capture Taal City in one day.
I gave you two days." time, and promised a generous reward.
Even under such circumstances, you still failed to capture Taal City.
I have given you a chance, but it was you who did not cherish the visitor and dragged Muji down.
Get up and wait for treatment” "Yes, Your Majesty."
Several Western Qin soldiers outside the tent came in and dragged Mu Ji away.
Mu Ji kept begging for mercy, but failed to pay attention to him.
The other generals of the servant army who were envious of Mu Ji before now now Everyone was very happy.
Fortunately, they were not the ones leading the attack.
Zhao Ziliang waved to everyone and said, "That's it for today.
Let's all go back and rest.
We'll talk about the siege tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty" On May 28th, the Western Qin army and its servants came to Ta'er City again.
The sun gradually rose.
Zhao Ziliang sat in the royal chariot and looked at the city wall.
He waved his hand: "Come here, bring Mu Ji over."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Several soldiers quickly escorted Muji over.
At this time, Muji completely lost his previous high spirits and was dragged over like a dead dog.
Zhao Ziliang pointed at Mu Ji and said to the generals and servants: "Mu Ji issued a military order in front of me, saying that he would capture Ta'er City within one day.
I gave him two days and promised him.
As long as he takes the city of Taal, he can choose one of the two peerless beauties beside me.
And he was allowed to take away 30% of the wealth in Taal City, but he disappointed the king too much and betrayed the king's trust in him, so he must be punished, dragged down and beheaded, and his head hung on the flagpole.
Let everyone see, this is what will happen if you dare to deceive me and fail to work hard."
A soldier waited for Zhao Ziliang to finish speaking, then he immediately pulled out his sword and chopped off Mu Ji's head with one swing.
Another soldier immediately lifted up the long hair of the head and hung it on the flagpole.
Cold sweat broke out on Gao Shang's vest and forehead.
He found that Zhao Ziliang was becoming more and more sophisticated in his scheming skills.
He kept muttering in his heart that maybe the king had known that Ta'er City was difficult to fight, and deliberately promised a heavy reward to Mu Ji.
The soldiers attacked in order to take this opportunity to get rid of him.
Who gave him the courage to covet the beauty that the king loved?
Killing Muji in this way will not cause any dissatisfaction among the other servant generals.
Everyone will only think that Muji It's your own fault.
If the order to kill Mu Ji was given in the main hall at that time, it would definitely make other servant generals uneasy and cause dissatisfaction in their hearts.
However, using this method will not have these side effects, and at the same time, it can also kill the Zhaohan people.
After testing his strength, he also killed chickens and scared monkeys, shocking the other generals of the servant army.
It can be said that he has accomplished multiple things with one stone
