Chapter 114: Women and Children's Meat Shield

After a short rest in the afternoon, Xiao Tianjian once again ordered the siege of the city, and a large number of Xingtian troops began to rush towards Jingzhou City again, and at this time, there were still some long ladders that had been discarded under the city, which were ignited at the foot of the city wall by rockets shot by the defenders.

The outside of the city was basically swept to the ground by the Xingtian Army, and a large number of the Xingtian Army's troops used shields and oars to cover and rush towards the city again, and at this time, groups of women suddenly appeared on the city wall, and under the drive of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, the crying was driven to the city wall in rows.

Xiao Tianjian was using a telescope to observe the movements of the defenders on the city wall at this time, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but suddenly burst out of his forehead, and almost dropped the telescope to the ground.

The musketeers raised their guns in a row and aimed them at the head of the city, but the officers did not dare to give the order to open fire, but the rest of the men did not stop, and continued to rush towards the foot of the city wall.

A large number of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates hid behind these women, and began to release arrows towards the city from the gap between the women and children, and at the same time, all kinds of fire guns and three-eyed guns also began to take turns to hit the city.

Suddenly, the attacking troops, which had lost the cover of artillery fire, were beaten in such a way that even though many of the soldiers were killed or wounded, the offensive they had just organized was stopped.

"Order a retreat!" Xiao Tianjian almost squeezed these words out of his teeth.

If this kind of thing is put on other people, maybe it won't be a problem at all, this kind of thing is fighting, as long as you stand on the city wall, then you can only be treated as an enemy equally, but the military discipline of the Xingtian Army has long been stipulated, and civilians and soldiers are not allowed to be slaughtered in war, these regulations can be said to have formed a deep-rooted idea among the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, like today's situation, they rarely encountered it before, at most, it was to encounter the officers and soldiers to drive the men in the city to the city to help defend it, But in that case, the Xingtian Army could shoot and kill, but I didn't expect that today, Zuo Liangyu, a despicable and shameless bastard, actually drove the women and children in the city to the city wall, serving as the battlements and human shields of his officers and soldiers.

Many people on the Xingtianjun side immediately figured out what Zuo Liangyu was doing this for! If they continue to fire artillery to attack the city, these women and children will become the target of the first row of slaughter, what kind of bullshit accurate shooting in this era, with the artillery and fire guns of this era, it is impossible to do it, if you kill these women and children, then it is equivalent to falling into Zuo Liangyu's trap! Just let the generals under Zuo Liangyu in the city see that the Xingtian Army cherishes the people, it's just talking! In this way, I am afraid that it will arouse the hatred of the defenders in the city, but it will unite the hearts of the army for them! So when this situation appeared, for a while, all the generals of the army threw themselves into the rat bogey, and they had no idea for a while.

Looking at the swarming generals one by one, scolding Zuo Liangyu for not being a thing, Xiao Tianjian could only smile bitterly, to be honest, it is not strange that Zuo Liangyu did this, there are really many people who do this in the history of world wars, and this is indeed a very effective way to prevent the enemy from attacking, as long as the party representing justice cherishes the people, then they dare not shoot these women and children easily, otherwise they may even win the battle and lose the hearts of the people in the end.

Looking at the excited generals under the tent, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand, stopped everyone's scolding, and said: "Today, the left thief came up with such a method, which was also unexpected by Ben Shuai, so don't be impatient!"

Today's siege is over! All the units will collect their troops and rest and prepare for another battle tomorrow, and I will discuss this matter in the long run! ”

The generals were so angry that they ordered to go out of the account and began to arrange the collection of troops and defenses, and when the left army in the city saw that the Xingtian army was throwing rat traps and did not dare to open artillery bombardment of the city again, even if they swept away the decline, they shouted and scolded loudly at the city below, and they were arrogant and didn't know what to do.

Even some of Zuo Liangyu's bastard generals simply pulled open their pants and took out the guys below to pee on the city, in order to insult the Xingtian army outside the city, and even some of the city's artillery that had been beaten to the point of not daring to show their heads were also erected on the city wall by them, forcing the women and children to surround their artillery and start firing outside the city.

There are even some scoundrels who even began to strip some young women naked in public, press them on the city wall on the spot, and rape them, and even stripped some women naked, forcing them to stand on the city wall, facing the Xingtian army outside the city, and wantonly insulting them.

Some women really couldn't stand such insults, so they hit the city wall headlong and fell to their deaths at the foot of the city wall, and some women were hacked to death by Zuo Liangyu's soldiers in public because they resisted the insult of Zuo Liangyu's men, and even tied them to wooden shelves, cut off their hands and feet, and watched them scream and cry until they died of blood.

The Xingtian army under the city and even those people who came with the army to help the war all looked at the cracked fingers, jumped to their feet and scolded the officers and soldiers in the city for not being human, but they stared dryly, but they did not dare to fight back against the city, and could only watch the left army in the city arrogant.

Xiao Tianjian also saw it in his eyes, angry in his heart, his fists clenched tightly, and even scolded Zuo Liangyu really damned, he knew that if it went on like this, it would seriously affect the morale of his subordinates, and he must make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Xin and other staff officers also gritted their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't think of any good way for a while, this battle couldn't be fought, it wasn't fought, it wasn't if it wasn't fought, if Zuo Liangyu did this, they really didn't have a good way.

And Zuo Liangyu was happy in the city at this time, scolding himself for being too stupid, why didn't he think of using this method earlier? Didn't you Xiao Xingtian advertise that you want to oppose the imperial court and save the people in the world? Now that Lao Tzu puts women and children in front of you, you have the ability to kill! Ha ha!

Zuo Liangyu calmed down his spirits and ordered to continue searching for women and children in the city, escort them to the city wall, and drive them up to the city wall at any time to see what else the Xingtian Army could do!

This time, Zuo Liangyu forced the men around Jingzhou to join the army, and while following him, the bandits under his command also robbed a lot of young women outside the city to join the army and act as their playthings, so in addition to gathering a large number of soldiers and horses in the city, there are really many innocent women who are insulted by them in the city, so Zuo Liangyu is really not short of materials when he does this.

And after this trick worked, the generals under Zuo Liangyu's command also swept away the decline, regained their morale, and began to become arrogant one by one, and actually began to light bonfires on the city wall all night, and hugged those women to drink and have fun on the city wall.

This night, not many people in the Xingtian Army outside the city could sleep, on the one hand, they gritted their teeth with hatred, and on the other hand, there was no good way to deal with Zuo Liangyu's lack of morality.

And Xiao Tianjian sat alone in the tent, listening to the noisy sound of the left army in the city, and almost did not close his eyes all night, early the next morning, Xiao Tianjian ordered to continue to prepare for the siege of the city, and the Xingtian army once again lined up outside the city early, Xiao Tianjian looked outside the city for a while, and suddenly gritted his teeth, passed the order, the whole army was silent, and he was not allowed to make a little sound, and he turned over and got on the horse, snatched a copper horn from his subordinates, and did not allow anyone to follow behind him, and rode his horse to the city wall in the north of Jingzhou, rushed to a distance of dozens of steps outside the city wall of Jingzhou City before he grabbed the reins of the horse.

Seeing Xiao Tianjian rushing to the city gate alone, the Xingtianjun were all stunned, and their hearts were raised to their throats, but Xiao Tianjian had an order first, and they were not allowed to make a noise, and those guards were also ordered to follow him, and the iron head was so anxious that he gritted his steel teeth, but he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Tianjian's order, so he could only watch Xiao Tianjian go into danger alone and gallop towards the city.

And the left army in the city also saw Xiao Tianjian rushing to the city gate alone at this time, and they were quite curious about whether this general of the Xingtian Army was crazy? Could it be that he was going to attack the city alone, so he stopped the hustle and bustle for the time being, and looked at the city with wide eyes, some people even thought that it might be that the thief army had no choice, and he wanted to explain a few words on the scene, and then retreated, so one by one there was not much nervousness.

After Xiao Tianjian galloped close to the city gate, he raised the huge copper horn in his hand, carried enough energy, and shouted at the city wall: "The villagers and sisters in the city have listened! The following is Xiao Xingtian as you know, Xiao Tianjian is also! ……”

The people in the city heard this, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and they all hurriedly and carefully looked at this legendary figure, since the rise of the Xingtian Army in Henan, the three words of Xiao Xingtian in the north and south of the river can be said to be passed on to be miraculous, some people say that Xiao Xingtian is a good person, and some people say that Xiao Xingtian is a three-headed and six-armed monster, and he has to eat human flesh every day, but most of the people still prefer to believe that Xiao Tianjian is a good person, and today when they see this general rushing from the city, it is actually the legendary Xiao Xingtian, they are all very surprised, After seeing it, it was really tall and majestic, and it couldn't help but make people feel convinced, and for a while, even Zuo Liangyu's subordinates forgot to shoot Xiao Tianjian with arrows.

There was a buzzing buzz in the city, pointing at Xiao Tianjian under the city, and even the left army wanted to hear what this legendary legend wanted to say when he came to the city alone today.

Xiao Tianjian held the copper horn and then carried his full energy, and shouted loudly: "The villagers and sisters in the city have listened! Although Zuo Liangyu is an official of the imperial court, he doesn't want to love the people, he really deserves to die! I, Xiao, came here today to do the right thing for heaven and get rid of this fang for the people of the world!

And the left thief used you as a shield to try to stop Xiao from attacking the city, Xiao had no choice but to say sorry to you! After Xiao captures Jingzhou City, he will definitely collect the remains for you and bury you! And build an ancestral shrine to worship you, etc., to ensure that the incense continues! Today, I, Xiao, have come here in person to confess my sins to you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Tianjian was actually under the city wall, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the city a few times, until this time, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates realized that something was wrong, Xiao Xingtian was about to make up his mind to attack the city, so some soldiers immediately shouted: "Quick!" Shoot the Thief Chief with an arrow! Bring up the cannon and kill him! ……”
