The worries of these generals are not unreasonable, especially among the people and horses who have been summoned by large families to help defend the city, many of them look obscene, cowardly, and have no intention of defending the city.

As the saying goes: there is great power in many. With the continuous efforts of thousands of people and horses who filled the river like ants moving, it only took more than an hour for the section of the moat of Nuoda to allow the men and horses of the bandit army to fill in a large road.

In order to fill this moat, the bandit army spent more than 2,000 taels of silver to ask the surrounding people for help. They first counted it in bags, twenty wen each. Then it is counted in the quintals, and each quintal is forty wen.

Such a price has made many people around rush to come to carry the sand, and even the onlookers have come to ask to carry the sand after hearing such a "good thing".

During the Qing Dynasty, it was not as easy to find a job as it was in later generations. It is even more difficult to find a job where you can sell your labor to make money.

Almost a load of dirt can earn most of the copper plates used to be half a day or even a day, and there is no danger depending on the situation on this battlefield. How does this keep the eyes of the people from blushing?

Since many of the generals of the current bandit army are from the surrendered green battalion soldiers, although they can quickly fill in the moat road to make these generals very happy, they don't understand why Zhang Rui must give these ordinary people who fill in the soil money.

For these people, it's as much as there are. All they had to do was take their knives and rush to the village, and they would obediently fill in the earth, and there was no need to waste silver.

The idea that these generals looked at them as "ordinary" naturally made Zhang Rui despise them, and then they were "educated" for a while. made Zhang Rui have to talk about the theory of "fairness and equality" again without following these generals around him.

Zhang Rui kept telling them that he wanted to subtly change their thoughts:

We are all righteous teachers, and we revolt to overthrow the Tartars and to turn over the poor people of the world. This is a sacred and noble uprising, so all of us are from the people, we are all soldiers of the people, and we must not have the idea of bandits and bullies...

As long as a person feels that he is doing what is righteous, then he will be more motivated and responsible to do it.

Zhang Rui's statement made the generals here enthusiastic, and they never thought that what they were doing now would be such an honorable thing.

As a result, these generals apologized to Zhang Rui one after another, saying that they would definitely act in accordance with the military discipline of the bandit suppression army and would never do anything to discredit the bandit army.

Seeing the generals admit their mistakes one after another, Zhang Rui was very pleased.

In fact, how many of them can see that Zhang Rui is in the next big banner? What is this small amount of money compared to the whole world?

After seeing the free sales methods of various large enterprises in later generations, Zhang Rui understood that if you want to make a lot of money, you must first make a small amount of money.

Due to the rapid siege and seizure, Zhang Rui is now not short of silver. Isn't it much better to tie these people to their side with a small amount of money than to drive them out with a sword, and they are not satisfied?

Even if some of these generals don't really admit Zhang Rui's statement, as long as the entire system of the bandit army is here, they are not afraid that they will dare to mess around, so they will hand a knife to Zhang Rui and cut them.

After the moat was filled, the bandit army also began to cross the moat continuously and officially attack the city.

A large number of arrow-blocking vehicles escorted the besieging men and horses to the bottom of the city wall, followed by the siege vehicles to extend the ladder used to climb the wall to the city wall, and the siege bandit army swarmed up.

Seeing this on the city wall, the Qing generals kept shouting for the defenders to stand up and defend the city.

However, the sound of gunfire in row after row and the wailing of wounded soldiers on the walls of the city made the defenders look like they were reluctant to stick their heads out.

The war is accompanied by a process of adrenaline rushes. The two-foot-eight-foot-high city wall climbed hard by the besiegers, and it took only ten breaths to climb from under the city wall to the women's wall, which made it difficult for the defenders at the head of the city to react.

"Kill!"

The bandit army on the siege ladder (ladder car) kept shouting and rushed to the top of the city to climb up.

The bandit army attacking the city in front was mainly composed of the green battalion soldiers who surrendered from Qingyuan City, and they might be afraid of the unknown enemy, but they did not pay attention to the defenders of Guangzhou City at all.

After the first bandit army jumped into the city wall, the bandit army on the more than 20 ladder trucks kept jumping behind the women's wall like dumplings.

At this moment, the city wall section of the west gate of Guangzhou City continued to pour in the bandit army occupied the city section, since jumping into the city wall, the bandit army waved the Pu knife in their hands to the city head dare to resist the defenders have cut down to the ground.

Seeing this, Li Shiyao, who was not far away, shouted loudly to those generals to block the defenders on the city wall.

However, everything is no longer beyond Li Shiyao's control.

The confidence of the defenders of this section of the West Gate City made the morale of the musketeers of the bandit army low from the beginning, and the previous strength of the bandit army also made them afraid. Therefore, although there were people who resisted on the city wall at this time, it was really difficult for the Qing army defending the city to resist the bandit army with high morale.

Under the hard fighting of the bandit army, the west gate of Guangzhou City was soon occupied by the bandit army that attacked the city wall. The occupying bandits quickly opened the west gate.

Seeing this, Li Shiyao, who was originally in the city tower, once again decided to live and die together at the city gate. However, when the generals around Li Shuyao found that there was no way to return, they took him away again by accusing him.

The west gate of Guangzhou City, which was opened, was soon occupied by the bandit army that followed behind.

The bandit army, which was constantly pouring into the city of Guangzhou, also quickly dispersed to other places to clean up the Qing soldiers who still dared to resist.

"Brother Cai, why are you? Haven't you been killed by the thieves? At this time, a Qing soldier in the city couldn't help but ask loudly after seeing that the bandit army leading the team in front of him was his person.

"Who said I was dead? Isn't it good for me to be here! Cai Demin, who heard the voice, looked at Chen Wuqian who was talking to him and said.

"It's really good that you're not dead, so your mother doesn't have to be sad. But what did you do to fight the thief? Did the thieves force you? Chen Wuqian said in disbelief

"What a thief, Lao Tzu is now the rebel army that overthrew the rule of the Tartars. Now I am a member of the bandit army, and I volunteered. Cai Demin didn't show anything unusual, but looked very proud.

"Don't tell you kid more, don't get in our way. If you can't beat us, quickly hide aside and surrender, and save your life is the most important thing. ”

"It's... Yes, okay. ”
