Five days, more than much, no less. However, these five days are indispensable for Zhang Rui.

One can prepare siege equipment for Zhang Rui, the second can relax the previously nervous bandit army, and the third can have time to digest and sort out the captured green battalion soldiers.

The green battalion soldiers who were brought back to Zhilian Mountain by the bandit army were "irrigated" with various ideas every day.

Every day they will be taken down the mountain to feel the difference between all kinds of new things in Zhilian Mountain and the outside, every day they will listen to the storyteller tell the story of the Han family heroes and the opera troupe interpret the stories of the Han heroes, and every day they can eat delicious and full meals.

Material, ideal, honor...

Of the more than 5,000 uninjured captive Green Battalion soldiers, very few finally decided to leave.

For those who are still going to leave in the end. After explaining to them that they were not allowed to resist in the future, the bandit army also gave them one or two pieces of silver for the passage.

Those who remained shouted that they would fight for the nation, for freedom and equality, for honor...

Zhang Rui looked at them like this, and suddenly felt that he was a little unkind. However, he immediately shook his head and denied it.

All these sacrifices must be worth it, because this is the Qing Dynasty.

Manchu, no one has a way to change its essence. It is to oppress the people of the world to serve the interests of its family.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was an alternative kind of slavery, and the Han people were even more slaves among slaves in its eyes.

The Han people wanted to change the status quo of the Han people through reforms and law changes, but the way to make the country stronger did not work at all.

Because the Han people are the object of its defense, how can it give you the right to threaten its interests?

Liu Zhenyu, a member of Jiangxi in the eighteenth year of Qianlong, was very stupid and naïve to present "A New Policy for Peace", but it was not until he was beheaded that he realized that everything was different from what he thought.

In the late Qing Dynasty, there were strange and humiliating things one after another. If Zhang Rui didn't know, he might have shaved his braids with peace of mind. However, knowing that no matter how difficult it is, when will it not be the other time?

Anti-Qing is not only for the sake of rebellion, but also for the sake of the people of the world.

………

In the first year of Song Kaibao, Wuzhou City began to build a brick wall, and after generations of expansion, the perimeter and area of Wuzhou City continued to expand. From the twelfth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty to the tenth year of Yongzheng, the city wall of Wuzhou continued to expand.

The scale of the city wall of Wuzhou is the most magnificent in the Yongzheng period, the city is 2 feet high, the circumference is 9 li, there are five city gates, and there are moats on the east, south and west sides of the city wall.

Directly south of the city wall is the Nanfu Gate; A gate that extends from south to west along the city wall is the Dezheng Gate; The city wall extends to the northwest again, which is the Xijiang Gate; The city wall bends to the north in the northeast direction, and there is a large cloud gate; The city wall extends to the east to the foot of the north mountain, and bends southeast along the foot of the north mountain to the intersection of the east road, which is the Yangming Gate; Yangmingmen bends west along the South Ring Road back to Nanxunmen, which is for a week.

Zhang Rui and his gang of more than 9,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 men and horses needed to be used as logistics auxiliaries when they went out, and more than 6,000 soldiers and horses that could be used as combat troops.

At this time, Zhang Rui was standing two miles outside the smoke gate in the south of Wuzhou City.

Looking at the nearly three-story high city wall in later generations, there is a moat under the outer city wall. Zhang Rui always understands the gap between reality and imagination, and he really wants to use games and film and television methods, and he doesn't know how many people's lives will be used to fill it.

When the news of the bandit army coming over was found in Wuzhou City, the gates had already been closed, and there seemed to be people patrolling and walking faintly on the city wall.

There is a cloud in the art of war: a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man who is good. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city.

Outside the south gate of Wuzhou City is a flat and empty grassland, where Zhang Rui's tens of thousands of men and horses are stationed and are not crowded at all.

The white clouds in the air, and the gusts of wind blew, crushing a lot of knee-high weeds. The unknown weed, stirred by the wind, kept whipping this Zhang Rui's calf.

"Kaiyuan, let people shoot and persuade the letter." Zhang Rui said to Wang Kaiyuan beside him

"Yes, Sixth Brother." Wang Kaiyuan replied after giving a military salute to Zhang Rui, and then turned to leave.

The good ones plot, attack the city and attack the heart.

The letters of persuasion are nothing more than words written to open the city gate and surrender, and the bandit army will not commit any crimes, and everyone is happy. If you dare to insist on defending the city and cause casualties to the bandit army, don't blame the city for being held accountable after it was broken.

"Taiping, send someone to inform the craftsmen who came with the army. Let them prepare and assemble the siege equipment. Zhang Rui ordered again

"Yes, Sixth Brother." Chen Taiping replied, and when Chen Taiping was about to turn around and deliver the order to the herald next to him, Zhang Rui said again:

"Well, let the artillery company commander Xu Fenyong carry the eight guns outside the city gate and fire three shots at the city gate."

"Yes, Sixth Brother." Chen Taiping replied again, and then saw that Zhang Rui had no other instructions before leaving.

After a pillar of incense, Wang Kaiyuan returned.

"Sir, are all things done?" Zhang Rui looked at Wang Kaiyuan's calm appearance, and couldn't help but take the lead in asking

"Yes, Sixth Brother. The letter of persuasion has been sent to shoot out, and there are not many soldiers and horses in Wuzhou City at this time, so they are naturally interested. You won't force me to wait for a killing spree. Wang Kaiyuan replied to Zhang Ruizuo.

Since he was familiar with the ritual that the bandit army did not have to kneel, Wang Kaiyuan really liked this atmosphere of equality. You don't have to say a word to bow down once, maybe this is the real Han style.

"I hope so." Zhang Rui said with a smile on his face.

Siege and war thinking about not dying is almost impossible. Although it is cruel to take your life to fill the city, war is not a game after all.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, Zhang Rui at this moment deeply felt the meaning of this sentence in his heart.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

Zhang Rui's request for three salvos of artillery at the city gate had already sounded at this time.

The Nanxun Gate of Wuzhou City suffered a lot of cannonballs, and it was so shocked that it was constantly rattling and looking like it would fall down at any time.

On the city wall, the green battalion soldiers on patrol were very worried. Although the shells did not hit the people above them, there were a few green battalion soldiers in Wuzhou who did not know Zhang Rui's ability.

"You say, will the garrison surrender?" One of the patrolling Green Battalion soldiers asked the Green Battalion soldier beside him

"I hope he can understand the current affairs and lead us to surrender, I heard that the shotgun on the sixth brother's side can shoot far and accurately. Isn't fighting them looking for death? The asked Green Battalion soldier replied

"Yes! I've heard about it too. This time, the imperial court did not mobilize 30,000 horses to encircle and suppress the sixth brother, but let the sixth brother defeat them one by one. Such men and horses, just a few of us soldiers, where can they stop it. The questioning Green Battalion soldier continued.

"Yes, the sixth brother's people shot a lot of letters. As long as we don't do anything, we'll be fine, and if we really want to fight, try to dodge as much as possible, and don't shoot them if you really want to shoot arrows. Otherwise, it would be bad if we were really remembered. The asked Green Battalion soldier said

"Uh-huh... The garrison came, and I don't know whether it was a battle or a surrender. The green battalion soldier who asked pointed to Feng Kubo, who was leading a group of people from the city to the city wall at this time.
