Chapter 645: Counterinsurgency

The capital of the Tang Kingdom, and the state.

After a day's rest, the rebels again led their soldiers and horses to the north of the city.

This time, the rebels were determined to destroy the city, because they had been forced to do so, and they had no other better choice.

On the city tower, Li Yu and a group of generals and strategists looked at the rebels below.

"Holy Lord, the rebels still have almost 90,000 soldiers and horses, and we have more than 40,000 here, so it should be easy to defend the city."

Xu Maogong stood next to Li Yu, as Li Yu's chief strategist, he did have this qualification.

"Mr. Xu is right, it is indeed not difficult to resist the attack of the rebels." Li Yu echoed, now he needs to give Xu Maogong some majesty and grace, which is also what he deserves.

"Therefore, it is better for the Holy Lord to go back to the palace and wait for the news, just leave it to General Qin and General Luo here."

Now, they are only one small step away from success, the city tower is too dangerous, Xu Maogong does not want other accidents at this time.

Li Yu originally wanted to stand on the city tower to boost the morale of the soldiers, but after hearing Xu Maogong's words, he still hesitated, and finally nodded, "Okay, go back to the palace, but if the tiger and wolf army comes back, you must inform me." ”

The Tiger Wolf Army is a strong army he has trained, and he has not seen the ability of the Tiger Wolf Army to fight, so if the Tiger Wolf Army comes, he must stand on the city tower and take a look.

For this, Xu Maogong and the others naturally hurriedly responded.

Li Yu left the city tower, and just after he left, Li Qing had already waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!" ”

At the sound of an order, the first group of rebels immediately rushed up, but in the face of the persistence of the Dragon Tooth Army, the first group of rebels was soon defeated.

Immediately after that, the second wave, the third wave......

More and more rebels rushed up, and they were simply crazy to the extreme.

They now have only one goal, and that is to capture the capital.

The corpses under the castle tower were already piled up, and there were corpses floating in the moat, and the entire moat was dyed blood-red.

The smell of blood permeated the air, making it feel pungent and sick.

On the first day, the rebels failed to capture the capital.

The next day, the rebels still failed to capture the capital.

At this time, the rebels had only 60,000 soldiers and horses left, and the entire capital had only 40,000 soldiers and horses left.

If you continue to kill like this, the rebels will only get fewer and fewer, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will naturally not be so good.

On this day, after the rebels returned to the barracks, the complexion of several vassal kings was not very good.

"His grandmother's, in this situation, we can't capture the capital at all, what do you say we should do?"

Now that the strength of the two sides is not very different, and Tang Yu occupies the advantage of the city, it is really not easy for these rebels to capture the capital.

Everyone looked at each other, there was anger in their eyes, and everyone had resentment.

Li Qing is a little evil.

"Don't worry, we still have a chance."

Just when everyone was scolding Li Yu, Li Qing suddenly said such a sentence, and after the other vassal kings heard this, they were a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What other chance do we have?" ”

Li Qingdao said, "As long as we are ruthless, we will have a chance, isn't Li Yu the emperor, as the new emperor, should he cherish his people and people?" ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly moved.

"Does the Green King want to threaten Li Yu with those people?" Li Shang spoke, but his expression was much calmer than the others.

Next to him, Du Ruhui frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Li Qing nodded, "Yes, send someone to arrest some people, if Li Yu refuses to open the city gate tomorrow to fight with us, we will kill all those people, in this way, Yu doesn't care about the life and death of the people, but he will lose the hearts of the people." ”

As the Son of Heaven, the most important thing is the people's heart, Li Qing is gambling, betting that Li Yu is willing to go out of the city to fight with them for the sake of the people's heart.

As long as the gates are open, they have a chance to win.

The other vassal kings looked at each other and quickly agreed.

It was only at this time that Du Ruhui finally stood up and said, "Lord Wang, if Li Yu refuses to open the city to fight with us, do you really want to kill those people?" ”

Li Yu is ruthless, he is a hero, and many times he can't think about normalcy, if he is not threatened by Li Qing, do they really want to kill those people?

Hearing Du Ruhui's question, Li Qing frowned slightly, "It's just a group of untouchables, what if you kill it, doesn't Li Yu want to lose the hearts of the people, then the king will fulfill him." ”

Du Ruhui wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Wei Zheng next to him, and now in this situation, several vassal kings have already killed red-eyed, telling them that these are not there, which angers them, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Wei Zheng is a smart man.

After Li Qing and the others finished speaking, they quickly sent their respective people out to arrest the nearby people.

Because of the war, many people in the vicinity actually fled, but not all of them were willing to leave, so it took more than half a day for the rebels to capture hundreds of people.

These people were men and women, old and young.

That morning, when they were taken to the bottom of the castle, there was panic in their eyes, and in the midst of panic, there was despair.

They don't understand war, but they know that their lives can be abandoned here at any time, and all this depends on the attitude of their new emperor.

They are a bit pessimistic.

"Li Yu, you come out to this king, today this king will expose your false face, don't you want to be the emperor, okay, now your people are in the hands of this king, if you want them to live, open the city gates, fight with this king, otherwise, this king will kill them all......"

Li Qing shouted frantically under the city, he was really crazy, that kind of madness was indescribable, and just when he was shouting like this, someone in the capital had already hurriedly ran to report the situation to Li Yu.

"Holy Lord, Li Qing captured hundreds of civilians and said that if you don't open the city gate and fight them, they will kill all those people."

The guards told Tang Yu about the situation, and when Li Yu heard that Li Qing was so shameless that he threatened himself with ordinary people, he immediately stood up and scolded, "Shameless, shameless, shameless, you actually did ...... to the people."

Angry, extremely angry, because Li Qing pinched his weakness, as the new emperor of the Tang Kingdom, if he wants to win the hearts of the people, he must be kind to the people, but if he doesn't even care about the life and death of the people, even if the rebels are pacified, I am afraid that the people of the Tang Kingdom will have a whisper about him.

And just when Li Yu was scolding so much, Xu Maogong stood up and said, "Lord, if you go out of the city to fight, our army has no chance of winning. ”
