"Lord, look, Pei Changqing's old thief ran to a blind corner where our artillery can't attack with his own tooth flag!"

At this time, outside Baling City, there are countless eyeliners of Zhang Shihua. Therefore, when Pei Changqing and they were making a move on the city wall, a guard with excellent eyes outside the city couldn't help but inform Zhang Shihua of this matter as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Shihua is not in a hurry about this. He didn't expect that he could just rely on the more than 90 artillery pieces in his hand to bombard and kill a big official with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

So after seeing Pei Changqing holding his tooth flag high, he almost trotted all the way to the northwest corner of the city wall. Zhang Shihua also waved his hand and gave the order to his gunners to attack freely.

Anyway, there are many cannons, and there is no need to worry about the countermeasures of the Baling defenders against them at all. With such a huge advantage, Zhang Shihua naturally has to do whatever he wants.

"Boom, boom! Boom Boom Boom !! "For two hours in a row, the sound of artillery outside Baling City never stopped.

Of course, except for the short time at the beginning, the black-clothed army fired a few rounds of salvos with more than ninety artillery pieces. After Pei Changqing came to the northwest corner of the city wall with his handsome banner, Zhang Shihua also divided the more than 90 artillery pieces under his command into three groups, and let the three groups shoot one after another.

In this way, although the momentum is not as powerful as Fang Cai, it is endless.

So when there were two hours of continuous bombardment like this, there were nearly 3,000 shells from front to back combined. The officers and soldiers on the wall of Baling no longer dared to show their bodies.

After all, at the very beginning, almost forty percent of those who dared to do this were killed by the black-clothed military artillery.

Although the number of people is not much, it is only a few hundred. However, the deterrent effect formed by this is several times the number of kills. Therefore, in this process of being beaten passively and not counterattacking, the morale of the officers and soldiers defending Baling City also fell sharply.

However, what made Zhang Shihua feel that there was a fly in the ointment. In this process, the more than 10,000 sailor troops stationed in front of Baling City still did not dare to counterattack the fleet of the black-clothed army in order to break the situation.

This undoubtedly made Zhang Shihua feel a little helpless. After all, at this time, it is estimated that there is nothing to do, and it is more able to hit the morale of these Baling officers and soldiers who are not high than witnessing the defeat of their own soldiers and horses again, right?

But this matter, after thinking about it, it will be relieved.

The day before yesterday, on the Yangtze River, there was a battle at the public dispatch station. The front army troops under Pei Changqing's tent were almost wiped out by the black-clothed sergeants using fire attacks.

And even if it is a former army unit, you will know it when you think about it. The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who were captured and killed by the black-clothed army the day before yesterday must have been the most elite and brave soldiers under Pei Changqing's tent.

And such a large number of elite and brave soldiers were captured and killed, and the remaining soldiers were naturally relatively timid and mediocre people in the army. Such a group of cowardly and mediocre guys have just experienced a big defeat, and the fear of the black-clothed army and the black-clothed army in their hearts has not yet subsided, how can they dare to take the initiative to launch a counterattack against the black-clothed army at this juncture.

So after understanding this, he also understood the deep meaning contained in the ruthlessness of his military advisor Zhao Ziyu.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhang Shihua waved his hand, and he couldn't help but let the officers and men under his command bring the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who were captured the day before yesterday from the cabins of various warships to the front of everyone.

"Lord, really, does it really mean to be like this?" On the warship, Zhang Shihua's position behind him. As Zhang Shihua's secretary, Huang Zai, who is a little famous in the entire Xiangjing land, couldn't help but turn pale when he saw Zhang Shihua giving such an awe-inspiring order.

But today, Zhang Shihua is going to do something that is extremely cruel and unjustified in the eyes of people in this world and future generations - killing prisoners!!

However, at this time, Huang Zai had just spit out the words in his mouth, and Zhao Ziyu, who was standing on the other side of Zhang Shihua and was far closer to Zhang Shihua, had a gloomy face, glared at him with his eyes, and snorted coldly angrily.

"......" Seeing that the military advisor Zhao Ziyu was angry and snorted, he was just a seventh-grade petty official Huang Zai. In the panic in his heart, he was naturally busy and couldn't help but close his mouth.

But at this time, Huang Zai closed his mouth. However, at this time, there are not a few people on the warship who have the same idea as Huang Zai.

After all, since following Zhang Shihua, the soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command have never done anything to kill prisoners to vent their anger.

Moreover, nine out of ten of these captives were Han people from the south. Infected by Zhang Shihua, most of them already have some black-clothed generals with a simple national consciousness, and they are naturally even more repulsive about such things.

Therefore, after Huang Zai closed his mouth, Zhang Shihua, who knew that there were many generals under his command who were emotionally unacceptable for a while, couldn't help but sigh and turned around.

"Do you think that I killed the prisoners today just to vent my anger?" Zhang Shihua asked, his face was not sad or happy.

Therefore, seeing Zhang Shihua like this, the generals had no bottom in their hearts, and in the face of Zhang Shihua's gaze, they couldn't help lowering their heads one by one.

But even so, these people obviously don't understand why Zhang Shihua would do such a disgusting-sounding thing.

So under such circumstances, Zhang Shihua coughed lightly at them, and couldn't help but speak: "You can also know from looking at this city today that even if our army is well armoured, it is not easy to capture this city under the garrison of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

You wait and think about it, if Yuezhou Prefecture governs Baling City, what will happen to Jiangxia City, the seat of the entire Huguang Province? ”

"This ......" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, the surrounding generals looked at each other, and a touch of worry couldn't help but come to their hearts.

However, as Zhang Shihua said, just the Baling City governed by Yuezhou Prefecture, its tall and strong city walls and the brave and elite soldiers of the sailors have reached the point where the black-clothed army is troublesome. Then Jiangxia, as the administrative center of the entire Huguang Province, is not even more tricky and difficult to attack.

"My lord, is it for this reason that you want to intimidate the enemies of Huguang when you kill the prisoners today?" At this time, there is really no shortage of people among the generals under Zhang Shihua's account. No, just after Zhang Shihua said such a thing, some people guessed the reason for this move.

Therefore, when he saw the generals under his account, he understood what he was thinking so quickly. Over there, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod with a smile.

"But so." Zhang Shihua nodded first, and then came to a sentence. Then looking at the generals beside him, he couldn't help but say again: "Don't you hear that on the battlefield, the place where you fight for your life, and the place where you stand your corpse." In the place where the corpse is standing this time, if you can kill one of its captives and live ten pawns, why not!

Song, Fan Wenzheng still said: 'How can a family cry like crying all the way.' Today, although I have slain a thousand prisoners, I can make the soldiers of this Baling city fearful. And if you can make those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, because they are afraid of my blade, they will rise up in battle and do rebellion. Shall not many do many sins?

And this is a world of great controversy, if we want to achieve the great cause of expelling the Tartars and rejuvenating China in this world, how can we blindly cherish benevolence? The reason why I raised the banner of righteousness back then was to make the Yuanmeng court fear me, and let those abusers in the world fear me!

Let them fear the courage of the Han people; Fear the blade of my Hanmin; Fear me, Hermes-Epitek, full of blood! So that the Tartars no longer dare to bully our Han people, so that the Han people of the world no longer dare to help the abuse and oppression of their comrades. In this way, how can I not be strengthened!

Killing a thousand prisoners today is just the beginning of this. And if I can capture this city, I will also punish the generals who lead more than 100 households in the city. One day, you will use this to dominate the world. Make the world's heart to Yuanmeng, help the people who are abused, and no longer dare to be my soldiers! ”

At the bow of the boat, Zhang Shihua shouted loudly. The coldness on his face couldn't help but make the hearts of the generals and officers awe-inspiring.

But at this time, after Zhang Shihua said such a remark, Zhang Shihua's book and the scribe couldn't help but stand up at this time, and shouted to Zhang Shihua: "Good, great good!" The lord and the world are already benevolent and famous, and now they are supplemented by this great might, and no one in the world can be the lord's soldier! ”

In the end, it is a world of great controversy, and those who struggle to survive in this world, even under Zhang Shihua's account, there is no shortage of ruthless people.

In the eyes of these people, since it is a troubled time, so in order to set things right, how can you not re-enact?

Therefore, don't say that Zhang Shihua only killed a thousand prisoners. Even if Zhang Shihua and after the war, he will slaughter the city in Baling. But as long as it can deter the enemies of Huguang and control Huguang in this way, it is worth it in the eyes of these people.

Therefore, after Zhang Shihua said such a remark, there are countless people who agree with this plan left and right.

Of course, in the minds of some of the remaining people, there are still some different ideas.

In the end, nothing is perfect. On the one hand, the killing of prisoners can certainly make the enemy dare not resist because of fear in his heart. But if done incorrectly, sometimes it can backfire.

From the battles in the past few days, it can be seen that Pei Changqing, the manager of Yuezhou Road, is not a mediocre person. If the black-clothed army killed prisoners on the front foot, but the back foot gave him a morale boost, then Baling City would be even more difficult to conquer.

Therefore, with such worries in his heart, Zhang Shihua's subordinate official inspection school did not vomit or be unhappy, and resolutely expressed his worries to Zhang Shihua.

However, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile when he heard the words of the school inspection.

"How can I not worry about this." Zhang Shihua said with a smile: "The killing and intimidation of prisoners should not be used for warriors. A warrior is righteous and not afraid of death, and fearing death will only make him have the same hatred and be counterproductive. But wait and see, in Baling City today, are there still warriors who are still righteous and not afraid of death? ”

"This ...... The lord came with the power of a great victory, which had already made the defenders of the city fearless. Now the shelling of the city has been shelled for nearly half a day, which has made the guards in the city panic like a lost dog. It is because our army is arrayed here, and the enemy lord will rather move his tooth banner than send troops to fight with our army.

From this point of view, if it weren't for the fact that the Baling soldiers and horses had lost their fear, even the chief general of the Baling was obviously not as brave as before. ”

The official inspector was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say such a thing.

Therefore, when he heard his words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look at him and nodded and asked with a smile: "Since you know the joints here, do you still have worries in your heart?" ”

"The lord is thoughtful and far-sighted, which makes his subordinates admire. Now I know that the wisdom of the lord is far beyond the reach of his subordinates, and he is no longer worried! After figuring out the joints here, the inspector naturally immediately changed his tone.

So at this time, no one on Zhang Shihua's left and right objected to the killing of prisoners.

After all, in such a chaotic world of war, there are many people with benevolent hearts who can take advantage of the situation and be able to hold official positions in the black-clothed army. But the kind of people who dare not speak and kill with swords and soldiers are not one.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Shihua was under his tent, and no one cared about the lives of the more than 1,000 captives. The reason why Fang Cai was reluctant to kill the prisoner was just because he was worried that this matter would have a bad impact and consequences on the black-clothed army.

Now, if you can be like what Zhang Shihua said. Killing one captive and living ten of my pawns can make the people of Baling suffer less rebellion, so why not do it?

Small benevolence, great benevolence is also tired. Since he was born in troubled times, how can he not understand such a truth.

After Zhang Shihua gave an order, Wang Shijiu commanded his subordinates, and he couldn't help but kill the more than 1,000 captives who screamed and saved them in front of all the soldiers and soldiers of the two armies.

Thousands of people were killed, and the shock and fear brought to the officers and soldiers defending Baling City were self-evident.

After all, I watched my former comrades be slaughtered like pigs and sheep by the black-clothed army. It is obviously impossible to say that there is no fear in the heart.

Therefore, taking advantage of the power of killing prisoners, a black-clothed army officer with a loud voice couldn't help but go out by boat, holding an iron horn in his hand, and shouted at the Baling defenders: "Have you seen it?" If you continue to resist, this will be your example.

My lord Pingzhang said that if you don't surrender within three days, then after our army captures this city. He will slaughter all the leaders of more than 100 households in the city!! ”

"If it doesn't fall for three days, those who are in charge of more than 100 households in the city will be slaughtered." Suddenly, hearing such a sentence, all the generals on Baling's side who were in charge of more than 100 households were undoubtedly completely panicked.

After all, after being bombarded for more than two hours, facing the situation that their own city gate towers were razed to the ground, but their own side still did not dare to fight with others, these generals in the city actually had little confidence in resisting the black-clothed army.
