"Look first, you'll know in a moment!" Hou Junji was not surprised that Li You could read and understand the flag language, but he did not explain what river reclamation was. Vertices are updated the fastest

Li You saw that Hou Junji refused to say anything, so he didn't ask again, raised the telescope in his hand, and looked at the Pingcheng capital on the opposite side.

A moment later, a group of people tied together by ropes appeared in Li You's telescope, densely gathered together, and walked towards the sealed gate of Pingchengjing, and behind them thousands of Zuo Wei guards could be seen holding firearms and carrying the infamous disposable rockets.

Those people who were tied together seemed to be crying something, but because of the direction of the wind, Li You couldn't hear it clearly, but judging from the height of their stature, those people should be widows.

What is this for? Why do you want to tie the Japanese people together? And why let them go ahead?

Time passed, and those Japanese people were getting closer and closer to the city wall, and in a short time, they had been driven to the edge of the moat by the soldiers of Zuo Weiwei behind them.

At the end of December, it was already very cold, and the so-called moat had long been frozen, so the Japanese people did not hesitate to slide down one by one.

Then, a dramatic scene emerged.

Because the wagemen who were tied together had their hands tied behind their backs, it was not very difficult to slide down the moat, but when they reached the other side, they did not have the help of their hands, so they climbed to the other side of the river anyway.

Friends in the north should have seen the river ditches after the snow in winter, and know how slippery those rivers will be after being frozen and covered with snow, and the embankments on both sides will not be easier to walk on than the ice on the river after being covered with ice and snow, even with the help of both hands, it is not so easy to climb up in many cases, let alone have their hands tied behind their backs, and they have to drag a string of people.

Therefore, the Japanese who went down to the river soon found that they could not climb the embankment at all, and they couldn't help but get up one by one and rushed to the rescue of the Japanese who were hiding in the city.

But there was no sound at the head of the city, not even a single person who came out to see, those Japanese people had been frightened by Li You's artillery some time ago, how could they risk their lives to probe out.

But if they didn't come out, it didn't mean that the Tang army didn't react, and I saw that the thousands of Zuowei guards with rockets on their backs all untied a very strange-shaped jar from their bodies one by one, and smashed them into the moat below with a cruel smile.

"What's that?" Li You couldn't see what the jar looked like after it was broken under the moat, so he couldn't help but put down the binoculars and asked Hou Junji.

"Guess what!" Hou Junji's smile was very evil, which made that old face look very hideous.

Songtsen Gampo was originally standing beside Li You, and seeing Lao Hou smiling so fiercely, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and blurted out: "Is it fire oil?" ”

"Kerose? Hehe......" Hou Junji smiled even more hideously, and said slowly: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" ”

"What's that?" Li You really couldn't think of anything similar to fire oil, so he asked with some confusion.

"Wet water!" Niu Jinda really couldn't see the appearance of Lao Hou selling Guanzi, and interjected on the other side.

"Wet water? That's ......" Li You just wanted to ask what Weishui was, but there was already a terrible scream in his ears, causing him to turn his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw that in the distance, a raging flame had been ignited in the moat under the wall of the Pingcheng capital, accompanied by the billowing smoke that rose to the sky, and the terrible screams came out of the moat.

So this is river reclamation? But what's the use of that? Listening to the terrible howl, Li You couldn't help frowning, and asked the old Hou beside him, "Uncle Hou, those Japanese should be the prisoners of war captured yesterday, right?" What's the use of burning them? ”

Unexpectedly, Hou Junji just shook his head slowly: "It's useless, it's just to put a little pressure on the Japanese people in the city." ”

"Just a little pressure?" Li You asked again.

"yes, just a little bit of pressure." Hou Junji nodded, paused and continued: "Aren't those Japanese people trying to compare with us to be ruthless, fierce, and cruel? Lao Tzu let them see who is more ruthless than whom, who is more cruel than whom! ”

The corners of Li You's mouth twitched, he really couldn't understand what the little old man next to him was thinking, could it be that more than 100,000 people from his side came to Pingcheng Jingxia just to be ruthless?

Li You couldn't understand it, while Li Zhen and Songtsen Gampo looked at the direction of Pingchengjing and realized a little.

At this time, above the head of Pingchengjing, those Japanese people were indeed frightened as Hou Junji said.

Listening to the screams outside the city, and smelling the billowing smoke with the smell of barbecue, many widows on the city spit out.

The Japanese who had experienced the last Tang army siege never imagined that their opponent this time would actually change their tactics and start using psychological warfare.

Looking at the moat under the city that was melted by flames and still steaming, and then looking at the charred black bones floating densely on the river, the first thing that the Japanese people in the city thought of was whether their fate would be as miserable as that of their companions below.

What kind of army is the army out there? Legend has it that the Tang army is not a benevolent and righteous army? Why were those prisoners of war sent to death? Why was it burned to death with such cruel means?

The people of the city could not understand it, but they were already afraid.

In the Tang army camp outside the city, there were thousands of prisoners of war who were locked up, and these prisoners of war were all stupid after seeing the fate of their companions during the day, crying and begging for mercy from the Tang soldiers around them.

After all, they don't know what their fate will be, and since Tang Jun can use such means to deal with the previous group of people, then he will also use such means to deal with them.

However, their prayers had no effect, except for a fist and kick in the face, and the punishment of not having dinner in the evening.

But among all of them, it was not the prisoners of war and the Japanese people of Heijo who were most affected.

It was the 100,000 naturalized people who were really frightened, who did not contribute to the work before the reinforcements arrived, and who did not listen to the propaganda, and forced the five-day journey for eight days, which finally caused the expeditionary corps to shrink its defensive line while losing a large number of men.

Now, after seeing Hou Junji's brutal methods, they deeply realized that their end was not far away, and if they couldn't change their image in the hearts of those Tang officers and soldiers, then they would probably be burned to death next.
