Chapter 125: The Aspirations of the People

The three thousand broken bowls inspired the high-spirited fighting spirit of the three thousand soldiers, and they roared with Lu Peng: "Fight to the death for the father and old man behind him, and attack the city." ”

Then they picked up their guns, carried up the ladder remodeled with a fence, and rushed to Zhaojiabao like a tide.

At this moment, an earth-shattering shout suddenly erupted behind the army: "Fight Zhaojiabao to take revengeβ€”β€”"

Lu Peng was taken aback, why did his own reinforcements arrive? Listening to how the voice is chaotic, is Zhao Quan so bad at training recruits? Good boy, you dare to be lazy and see that I go back without breaking your dog's legs.

Just as he was puzzled, a broken army ran over and said to Lu Peng: "Lord Qiqi, there are nearly 10,000 people behind you, and you want to follow our army to attack the city." ”

Lu Peng's head was buzzing at that time, and nearly 10,000 people wanted to attack the city with him? That's not good, let them attack the city, that is, to send them to death, not only will they be killed and injured in vain, but they will also mess up their own formation, which is not possible.

"Hurry up and persuade the people not to make unnecessary sacrifices, because the people are not needed in war."

The soldier said bitterly: "I persuaded it, but the people ignored it, just followed us and vowed to capture Zhaojiabao." ”

Xi Zhen said at this time: "It's better to let the people follow, let them stand behind our army and bluff, so that it can also hit the morale of Zhaojiabao." ”

Lu Peng thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be like this, so he continued to advance with the army and killed directly outside Zhaojiabao.

Zhaojiabao had already prepared, and at this time, the city wall was already densely packed with guarding Xiangyong slaves, one by one nervously guarded.

The city was divided into two parts, one was the neatly dressed slaves of the Zhao family, and most of them were the ragged and captured village warriors and long-term tenants, who were poorly armed and thinly clothed, shivering in the cold wind.

However, those arrogant children of the Zhao family didn't matter, but those captured Xiangyong and long-term tenants saw the dense army outside the city, especially the army under the banner of the government, everyone was scared at that time.

In the psychology of the small people, fighting with the government, that is rebellion, if you really can't live, there is no rebellion, even if you can't live, in fact, as long as no one is bewitched, you would rather starve to death than rebel. Confucianism, which has been up and down for hundreds of years, has long become the mainstream thought in this era, and has deeply penetrated into the bones.

At this time at the head of the city, Zao Wou-Ki was loudly announcing the reward of the patriarch of the family: "Brothers, there are rebels outside under the banner of the government, and we want to eliminate harm for the government and the court, so the patriarch has an agreement, whoever kills a rebel will be rewarded with a hundred dollars after the war, and those who kill five will be rewarded with five stones, and ten will be killed, and the whole family will be exempted from taxes and forced labor, and the time will come to make a fortune, everyone work hard." ”

Such a reward is simply very generous for those who have been captured by the village warriors and tenant long-term workers, especially the exemption from the general conscription of the palace of the king of Hades, which is the dream of these long-term tenants, and then heard that the official army on the opposite side is a rebel, everyone seems to be moved.

And what made everyone even more excited was that the baskets of steamed buns from the city were carried up, buckets of millet porridge were carried up, and baskets of pickles were carried up, and Zhao Wuji shouted loudly: "Brothers, now these things are enough to eat, the patriarch said, the war is over, everyone still has meat to eat." ”

Meat, for everyone is already just a concept, I haven't eaten it since I was a child, and I don't know what it tastes like, but pickles are already eye-catching, that's salt, that's an incomparably expensive thing, and being able to eat salt is already an incomparable luxury for the small people, so all the people rushed to the food basket like a swarm, frantically grabbed the pickles, stuffed them into their mouths, and then enjoyed the choking and rolled their eyes directly, all the bitter haha had a feeling: "After eating this delicious meal, it is worth dying." ”

The extravagant hopes of the small people are so simple, so simple that people can't imagine it.

Lu Peng, who was in the city, sat on a war horse, and after observing the situation in the city, he ordered his subordinates: "Beat the drum and prepare to attack the city." ”

Now, all stratagems are superfluous and pale in this relative, and in order to achieve victory, it is necessary to fight for the lives of the soldiers, and there is no chance of trickery.

This battle is the first siege battle for yourself, if it is fought well, although it will suffer heavy losses, it can cultivate an iron army that can fight well.

But at this time, a great change suddenly occurred, just in front of the two armies. Just under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. A pair of old men hobbled forward with each other's arms. Walk under the walls of Zhaojiabao. Lift up the godless eyes and look at the city for a long time. The old woman wiped her eyes a few times. Carefully identify for half a day. Suddenly shouted to a skinny villager in the city; "The one in the city, is it my three dogs?"

A thin villager in the ragged group of people in the city heard the familiar call of the old man. Quickly lean half of your body out and look down. This one doesn't matter. The city is not his own parents or which. At the moment, the hand is holding the battlement. Crying loudly in response; "Mother. Father. It's the third child. Why are you here? You're still alive."

When the two old men saw the city. It's really a dog who hasn't been seen for three years. I cried a lot. I cried for a while. The old woman cried out to her son in the city; "Three dogs. You were kidnapped by King Zhao for three years. Your father and I thought you were dead. But I never thought you were alive. You're just alive. Why did you still serve as a dog for King Zhao Yan to take care of the home. Did you forget to die in the backyard of King Zhao Yan of your sister-in-law. Is that brother who died in the water prison? You give the enemy a caretaker. Has your heart been eaten by dogs. Who are you worthy of? You're a bad thing." Say it. The two old men howled and cursed angrily under the city.

The three sons in the city listened to it. At that time, I also howled in shame and cried. I kept explaining to myself. But the old couple at the bottom just wouldn't agree. It's just a blind scolding and accusation.

That's when it happened. There were many old people and women who ran to the city wall of Zhaojiabao. Find your loved ones in the city and countryside. Once found, there was a burst of crying and swearing. For a time, the shouting and crying of the city and the city were earth-shattering.

The first couple shouted; "Three dogs. Now General Lu wants to avenge your sister and brother. You can't help them deal with Lord Lu's righteous army Wang Shi. If you still think that I am your mother; You are against King Zhao Yan. Follow the king of heaven to avenge your sister and your brother."
