Those are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Who would dare to bear the charge of this massacre? Don't fight. If you let the soldiers rush to the front. Once the city fell. Who bears the charge.

Ge Congzhou's eyes rolled. He scolded viciously: "Hit me. That's a ruse. It's all dressed up by Khitans. Give me a hard beating".

The muzzle of the mortar was aimed at the siege tank. Watch as the gunner brings the torch closer to the lead. Ge Congzhou's cheeks couldn't help but twitch. At this time, a temporarily hired citizen of the city suddenly shouted: "You can't fight, you can't fight. That's our folks. I recognize. The one on the left is my uncle. These are all the folks in Giethoorn on the edge of the city".

The fire twist is "whirl" burning. The one on the side is still quick to move. He pulled out his knife and slashed at the artillery. Chop off the medicine twist. The soldiers of the Shence Army, whose faces turned pale with shock, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Ge Congzhou was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. The green tendons on his forehead said straight up: "I said Lord Shang. If the ladder is near the head of the city. Then we're going to have casualties. At this time, the kindness of the woman is not allowed". Shang Rang said: "No. What the Northern Expedition did was to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Save the people from fire and water. How can you harm your own people? Good archery skills shoot directly at the enemy. Stop them from getting closer." Several generals next to him nodded their heads again and again.

Ordered to bomb without distinction between friend and foe. History is afraid to write down their stigma from now on. All generations will be reviled by others. How could they bear such a charge? Besides, if it is known to the imperial envoys. Impeachment in the court. Even if you escape the butcher's knife of the siege today. I'm afraid the emperor will also condemn him.

Several crossbowmen squeaked and drew their bows and arrows. Arrows flying. But the front of the chariot, which had come to the firing range, was covered with cowhide. This unmade cowhide is tough and hard. Bows and arrows can't shoot through at all. The Tartars of the brigade slowly approached behind the siege chariots. I don't care.

Ge Congzhou was anxious. He shouted, "This place is under my command. Gunner. Call me. Knock me down the chariot."

Shang Rang shouted angrily: "Who dares. Our soldiers slaughter our people. Outrageous. I am the main general. Including the garrison is under the jurisdiction of this general. Who dares to disobey orders." The gunners looked at each other. I don't know who to listen to.

A few bows and arrows were shot at the cowhide. Just let the cowhide shake a few times. At most, one or two arrows are hooked into the cowhide. No deterrent. A Khitan Han general, a lieutenant, jumped to the chariot with a rifle in one hand and shouted in Chinese: "There are ordinary people in front of you. Who dares to shoot arrows. You've shown me clearly."

The man turned his horse back. A cat snatched a package from a woman and held it in her hand. The horse galloped back. The woman cried and chased after her. A sharp arrow flew in the cold. Right in her vest. The woman shook twice and fell to the ground.

The city was silent. I watched the woman fall to the ground. But there is no way to save it. The sturdy lieutenant went to the city with a gun. Throw the wrap in your hand into the air. The sharp tip of the spear in his right hand pierced it at once. High in the air. Triumphantly shouted, "Quickly open the city and surrender. You can also save your life. Otherwise, the whole city will be slaughtered. Otherwise, it's like this young son."

Then the people of the city realized that the burden he was carrying was a baby. The eyes of the people were torn. It's the crossbowmen with their bows. I don't know if it's scared or hated. Arm trembling. I can't pull the bow anymore.

I saw blood running down the barrel of the gun. A drop falls to the ground. It's been a long time. Ge Congzhou suddenly yelled: "What the are you doing. Fire. Shoot me. You stupid bunches. 200,000 people can't make these tens of thousands of people show off their might."

Ge Congzhou holds a torch. Trembling like a fallen leaf in the wind. His face was blackened. With a pair of red eyes, he slowly turned around and looked at Ge Congzhou and them above. He said in a hoarse voice: "Pit viper claw. The strong man unravels his wrist. Overall situation...... The big picture matters. What great things have been accomplished by the kindness of a woman? It doesn't matter what others think. All the responsibility is on my own."

"Wrong. No one will take it." Duan Mingyu appeared on the city wall at some point. Several people hurriedly knelt down." Rajah. How did you get here?"

Duan Mingyu said angrily. If I don't come. You shall not quarrel until the sun goes down."

"The last will be ashamed."

"I really don't know what you guys think. Could they not have opened fire on the city that was held by more than 200,000 men? Our Datang army can only rely on cannons and crossbow arrows? If you have eggs, take me a knife and a gun. Let the enemy know. Even if you don't have advanced weapons. Even if the gates of the city are wide open; We can still drive them back like dogs."

After speaking, Duan Mingyu left the city wall without looking back. Shang Rang and the others looked at each other and smiled. He smiled heroically and said, "Brothers. Bring the mortars off the walls. Pick up a knife and gun. We're going to see the blood with real swords and guns."

"Kill......"

Duan Mingyu smiled with satisfaction. said to Wang Yanzhang beside him: "This is Xiao Zhan'er. It's just an experience. Relying too much on mortars will make them see that they lose their military wildness. A warrior who dares to exchange a sword for a life is a qualified warrior."

At this time, the besieging team under the city had already dispersed, and the two wings set up ladders at the city wall and began to attack. The role of artillery has weakened. There are already two wooden ladders that have been taken up to the head of the city. was forcibly suppressed by Ge Congzhou's people again. Stones, rolling wood, and lime were all used. Many of them picked up the knives and guns of the dead sergeants and joined the hand-to-hand combat. Guo Sheng completely paved a road with human life. Vowed to take the county seat of Qixian. But the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers defending the city rose to an unprecedented level. Duan Mingyu gave Xu Jing under Yanjing City. Fang Wenzhong. Luo Hou left behind an army of 80,000. He also sent Li Cunqiao and Li Cunxiao out of the city to conduct guerrilla warfare. But there are still 200,000 troops left in the city of Qi. However, it is impossible for the small county town of Qi to put all 200,000 people on the city. This doomed both sides to attack and defend with equal troops. Even if Guo Sheng didn't have to face the indiscriminate bombardment of mortars at this time. But in the case of a head-on battle between the two sides. Speaking as a besieging party. Undoubtedly, it will suffer a big loss. The chances of capturing a city are also slim.

Guo Sheng was a pawn of the Khitan army. It didn't take long to find out. Such an attack is nothing more than a drain of one's own strength. But it's even more difficult to explain if you don't attack the Khitans to the death.

Guo Sheng glanced at the small Qi County. It's really in vain. He even committed such a despicable act as holding the old and weak women and children hostage. It's just a sigh of hope. Think about it again. There are only wins and losses on the battlefield. Kindness can only be the handle of the opponent. That's it. His heart is going to be a little better.
