"Mr. Li's trick is really amazing, taking these dog things to fill the pit is to give the thieves and soldiers three points of courage, and they don't dare to do anything, they can only watch us attack the city."

Liu Zongmin was riding on a horse, and when he heard the sound of artillery bombardment at the head of the city gradually weakening, he laughed.

"Don't be careless, I always feel that the king of Nanyang is not an ordinary person." Li Yan was not so relaxed, and his expression was solemn.

"Hey, Mr. Li is too worried, in the past, when our army attacked the city, the officers and soldiers would be tied up when they saw ordinary people, let alone killing the clan in vain? Relax, then Zhu Youhua didn't dare to do anything at all. ”

Li Yan nodded and did not speak, still with deep worry on his face.

After all, bandits are bandits, and when attacking the city, they have always been full of tricks, and they have resorted to such despicable means, so that all the officers and generals in the city are very angry, and they all curse non-stop, and even forget the fear of Fang Cai.

However, the reaction of the city emboldened the old battalions under the city.

They were even more proud, and even Li Zi's troops on the other side of the army were sneering, and this was not over, only to see an old battalion commander who escorted the prisoners shouting an order, and he was actually going to kill people in person.

"Little guys, cut down these damn things, and let the dog officers and soldiers in the city see what the fate is when they go against the intruding army!"

The old battalion struck together, slashing and stabbing with knives and guns, accompanied by screams, and more than 20 people were killed under the city when the crowd was neutral.

The head of Luoyang City was silent, Wang Shaoyu clenched his fists, "They are accurate, we don't dare to do it, what should we do?" ”

Before Zhu Youhua could speak, the old battalion commander stepped forward and shouted: "You have seen it, if you don't surrender, these dog thieves will be your fate!" ”

Seeing this scene, all the officers and soldiers had no fear of these bandits, and although they were silent, their eyes were full of blazing fire.

Zhu Youhua said coldly to Huang Hu: "You go and escort all the officials and gentry who shouted to flee and surrender!" ”

"This ......" Wang Shaoyu was a little embarrassed, "but after all, they are all people with some forces, what if they seek revenge in the future?" ”

"What is more important now than stabilizing the morale of the army?" Zhu Youhua waved his big hand, and seeing that Wang Shaoyu was still not moving, he turned his head to Huang Hu and said: "You go to give the order, if there is anything, this king will bear it alone!" ”

"Honorable Order!"

Huang Hu didn't hesitate and went directly.

Soon the officers and soldiers brought a group of gentry to the city, some of whom scolded and scolded, and some of whom pushed and refused to advance, but when they came to the city, they were all so frightened that they froze.

At this moment, in front of them was an endless army of bandits.

In the face of this army, some people secretly rejoiced, and some people became frightened, trying their best to escape from the city, Zhu Youhua looked at everyone's performance, and suddenly said:

"Arrest all these people, tie them up to the lookout, and douse them with hot oil!"

Wang Shaoyu was full of questions, those troublemakers should obviously be arrested, why did Zhu Youhua arrest these motionless honest people?

Huang Hu still directly obeyed the order.

After that, Zhu Youhua came to the head of the city and shouted to the old camp under the city: "This king will leave you a dog's life, go back and tell Li Hongji, let him surrender as soon as possible, and maybe ask the emperor to leave him a whole corpse, if not, this is the end!" ”

"Ignition!"

The order quickly reached Li Zicheng's ears, and he took out the clairglass he had snatched from the hands of a certain officer and soldier to look at the people who were being kidnapped, and his face was immediately shocked.

The officers and soldiers picked up torches and lit the tied people together.

The ones that were lit soon turned into fire men, who screamed and tried to struggle, but their whole bodies had already been consumed by the flames, and in the end they could only fall headlong into the city, turning into charcoal that smelled of meat.

Smelling this smell, the gentry who were also brought to the city wall lost their minds for a long time, and after reacting, some began to beg for mercy, and some were irrepressibly holding on to the wall and vomiting.

Li Yan also saw this scene, and muttered: "King Chuang, these dozen or so people are all official gentry from all over Henan, and a few of them are still in contact with Neiying......

"Hmph, this Zhu Youhua doesn't argue with the good and the bad, and he will deal with it together, and he is not far from death." Li Zicheng put down the clairvoyant mirror, his face full of sneer.

Li Yan is also a little confused, now the various royal clans of the Ming Dynasty, only the Tang King is still a little capable, he really didn't expect that Luoyang's Fuwang family would produce such a strange Nanyang King.

Originally, according to the usual tactics of the invading army, they first used the number of people to scare the officers and soldiers to death, and then used psychological tactics to break their psychological defense line, and in the end, they would basically break through and surrender the city.

But Zhu Youhua's hand was to completely disrupt the previous plan.

The surging army not only did not frighten the officers and soldiers, but was used by Zhu Youhua to successfully provoke the fighting spirit of the entire Luoyang officials and troops.

Liu Zongmin and the others were very angry, and the officers and soldiers in the city were cheering.

"The king of Nanyang is mighty, the king of Nanyang is mighty!"

Wang Shaoyu saw that Liu Zongmin and several generals rushed back to the big formation from afar, and said something to Li Zicheng with anger on their faces, and then they seemed to have a disagreement with Li Yan and almost fought.

In the end, it was Li Zicheng who nodded, and Liu Zongmin turned his horse back to the front.

Liu Zongmin just asked Li Zicheng to fight.

Li Yan's opinion this time was contrary to theirs, saying that there would basically be no reinforcements for the officers and men, and that now that the morale of the officers and men was at their peak, they should temporarily avoid the edge, collect the troops and return to the camp, trap Luoyang, and then use the old methods to attack from the city.

He also said that the hearts of the people in the city are scattered, and there is a big tumor in the Fuwang Mansion, and even if the city defense is strong, as long as it is besieged and not attacked, there will be chaos in the city sooner or later.

If Zhu Youhua in the city heard such remarks, he was now afraid that he would already break out in a cold sweat, because if Li Zicheng played according to this style, being boiled into a Fulu banquet would be almost the only ending.

But history also has its black inevitability.

Li Zicheng was furious, he couldn't listen to these suggestions that he thought were sideways, and he was thinking that he would capture this damn Luoyang and kill the officers and soldiers and gentry in the country!

As a result, a vicious battle is inevitable!

......

A large number of invading troops outside the city began to move, and the old battalions that drove the prisoners also killed the prisoners and withdrew to their positions as soon as possible.

Not long after, the sound of continuous gongs sounded, and there was a commotion in the army outside the city, which mobilized for more than half an hour before it was replaced by many large and small phalanxes and began to slowly advance towards Luoyang City.

Of course, at this time, the head of the city cannot remain indifferent.

A bustling scene in the city.

Under the command of the scribes, the warriors carried logs, rolling stones, and boxes of cannonballs, and many pacesetters began to run around the city to give orders.

"The king of Nanyang has an order, once the bandit enters the firing range, let go of the greeting, and kill a thief and reward three coins of silver!"

"The king of Nanyang has an order, whoever kills Liu Zongmin will be credited with a great merit once, and a reward of 100 gold!!"

Zhu Youhua saw that Liu Zongmin, as the vanguard general, personally led the team to attack the city, and in the rear, Gao Guiying also took the artillery captured from the officers and soldiers to the high place, but there were not many of them.

"Little prince, look, there is a lot of movement in front of the bandits, but there is a group of people behind them." After all, Wang Shaoyu is a battle-hardened general, and he can see something unusual at a glance.

"Mr. Wang's eyesight is good, and I think about it, this group of people and vehicles are loaded with soil used to fill the ravines outside the city." Zhu Youhua searched for a while before he realized, "The king ordered to hit these carts first!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment!"

Wang Shaoyu laughed, turned his head and ordered.
