Three, two, four, I'll carry it
The moat is leveled...... Zhang Xianzhong's army began to move forward slowly, using the shields made by the people to advance towards the city wall.
A common man, persecuted by the thieves, set up a ladder and climbed up the ladder, followed by a thief behind him, brandishing a sword, using the people as a shield, and advanced towards the head of the city. The people in front of them cried while climbing the ladder: "Don't shoot arrows at me...... Don't hit me with a fire brick...... Woo...... Wow wow......"
The people at the head of the city really didn't shoot arrows at him, and no one could do this, and the people climbed to the top of the city, seeing that they were about to be dragged up by their own people and rescued, but the thieves who had been following him jumped upward, stretched out on the people, and with the force of a pull, turned over on the city wall, but the people were dragged down by him...... Hit the ground and fell under the city wall, his back hit the ground first, and he didn't know if he broke his backbone, and he never got up again.
The thief who climbed over the wall laughed, waved his sword, cut down the two Xiangyong who were holding on to the ground, and laughed: "Lao Tzu has climbed the city wall, hahaha, the brothers in the back will follow up......"
On the other side of the city, a Xiangyong held a pot of boiling water in his hand, and he didn't know whether to fall to the enemy in the city, he hesitated for a long time, and never dared to do it, there was a northern Henan soldier next to him, and wanted to help him pour the boiling water, but this action to grab the pot made Xiang Yong's whole body tight, and the two scrambled to pick up the iron pot.
The city of Zezhou was in chaos, and the panicked officers and soldiers, the villagers, and the people were in a mess, and they didn't know what to do. Fire? It will hit the people! Arrows? It will also shoot the people! Fire bricks, oil and fire pot boiling water? The people will be the first to come!
What to do?
Once the momentum of the army and the people working together to defend the city is broken, how easy is it to condense again?
"Whew!"
The people around Zhu Yuanzhang who were watching the battle were also panting, Wang Er didn't mention it, Gao Yingxiang and Xue Hongqi, the two good men from horse thieves, were also a little unbearable, Gao Yingxiang scolded: "Damn, when this battle is over, I have to talk about the Eight Kings, this guy is really hurtful." ”
Xue Hongqi's hand covered his heart, and his good-looking side face turned pale: "This kind of person...... What is there to say? If I meet on a narrow road, I will chop him with a knife. ”
Only Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion has not changed, and he has always maintained a sense of solemnity, and he said in a low voice: "Don't look at it...... The city is broken! Let's go back to the army! ”
No one objected, in fact, no one wanted to watch it anymore.
At this time, Xue Hongqi suddenly asked Zhu Yuanzhang, "Brother Zhu...... If you were a city defender, what would you do in that situation? ”
"Oh? What are we ......" Zhu Yuanzhang's mind rebounded slightly for hundreds of years, as if returning to the years when he fought with the Mongols, and the battle to drive the people to attack the city was really commonplace in the hands of the Mongols. When Zhu Yuanzhang encountered this tactic for the first time, he was also beaten to sweat and almost collapsed psychologically, but after fighting for a lifetime, after watching too many scenes like this, he already knew the best way to deal with this kind of thing!
He calmly said seriously: "I will give the order as soon as possible to shoot all the civilians who are surrounded by the enemy to prevent the city from being destroyed." ”
"What?" The leaders were shocked, Xue Hongqi was originally standing very close to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the distance was even a little ambiguous, but at this time, he suddenly took a big step back, as if he was hiding from the plague god.
"What? Are you afraid of me like that? Zhu Yuanzhang laughed gloomily: "If I don't give this order, what will you do?" ”
"We ......" The leaders froze, how do they know what to do?
"You're going to mess up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Then the city will be breached, and you, along with the soldiers and people in the city, will all die...... For the sake of hundreds of people who were already dead, it is not appropriate to take the entire city of soldiers and civilians...... So I'll give the order to kill them as soon as possible, so you and the soldiers don't have to think about what to do, just listen to me...... When you kill these people and your hearts are sad, you just have to put all the blame on me, and your hearts will be better...... No more rebuke your conscience! ”
"Huh?" The leaders were stunned.
"Yes, you don't need to be sad, you didn't kill anyone...... Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "You just need to tell yourself that I killed those people, and that's it!" In this way, the city can be defended, the army and the people do not have to die tragically, the enemy's conspiracy is crushed, and you do not kill anyone! ”
"Give me the name of the executioner, because I can afford it!"
I can afford it!
This sentence was not said very hard, but the sonorous sound in it was shocking, and the strong heart did not waver in the slightest.
I can afford it!
He once killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, slaughtered all the corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, peeled the skin and stuffed the grass, and the world trembled!
Even if he is in the name of killing the gods, even if he leaves him a bloody stroke in history, but he has created a majestic Ming Dynasty for the people for 270 years, who is qualified to comment on his merits?
Even if someone says it, I don't care, because ...... I can afford it!
Xue Hongqi didn't know why, the step that had just retreated hurriedly took another step, and reached out to pull Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve: "No...... Brother Zhu, I ...... In that case...... I'm here to give you the order to fire the arrows, too! ”
"I'll give you the order too!" Xu Renjie also took a step forward.
"I dare to take on the name of murder!" Miao Mei also took a step forward.
Gao Yingxiang, who was watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, amazing, this Baishui Zhu Ba is really powerful, just now I saw the strategy of the eight kings to attack the city, and everyone was in chaos. But with a few words, he captured the hearts of these leaders, and even my chaotic heart suddenly calmed down!
This man is amazing.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned his head to Gao Yingxiang, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Chuangwang...... Brothers have a word for advice. ”
"Oh? Brother Zhu, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Gao Yingxiang also hurriedly hugged his fists in return.
Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Do you still remember the resistance your army encountered when attacking the West City Gate?" In fact...... That's all bad reputation! In recent years, the thirty-sixth battalion has to burn and loot every city that has been captured, and its own signboard has been damaged, which will make it difficult to attack the city and seize the land. ”
When Gao Yingxiang heard this, he fell into deep thought slightly, and he pondered for a while before he said, "What does Eighth Brother Zhu mean?" ”
"Your army might as well restrain your subordinates, maintain military discipline, and try not to disturb the people and harm the people, as for the rich...... I don't dare advise you not to move, anyway...... The will of the people is the real power. Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Let's take Xue Hongqi's sister attacking Anding City as an example, because she has a good reputation, as soon as she arrived in Anding City, the poor people in the city took the initiative to help her cooperate with the outside and break the city in one fell swoop...... If her reputation is like ...... Cough...... Like the Eight Kings, will there still be poor people willing to help her? ”
Gao Yingxiang lowered his head, thought carefully for a while, and thought about the scene of the soldiers and civilians who were bent on defending the city when he attacked the west city of Zezhou, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and some concepts that had been around for a long time began to shake slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "The city in front of me is about to be broken by the Eight Kings, and after the city is broken, it will be time to deal with the people in the city. Make the right judgment. ”
"Got it! I see what you mean. Gao Yingxiang brushed his white robe and said seriously: "After I bring the troops into the city in a while, I will immediately stop the people of the Eight Kings from doing evil...... Don't worry, the general of Beicheng is my nephew, he has always listened to my orders, and Lao Hui over there in Dongcheng is also a good person, as long as I am reasonable, he will definitely obey. Let's join forces with these three ways, and it is not difficult to suppress the eight kings...... In short, we can't let him mess around like this anymore. ”
"In that case, I will thank Brother Chuang Wang on behalf of the people of Zezhou City." Zhu Yuanzhang finally clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother won't go into the city, wait outside the city for the good news of Brother Chuang Wang." ”
"Oh? Why don't you come with me into the city? Gao Yingxiang said: "With your military strength all the way, it will be easier to suppress the Eight Great Kings." ”
"No, I'm afraid that when my people see the Eight Kings, they will pounce on him and fight to the death......" Zhu Yuanzhang swept the second Wang next to him with his eyes, Gao Yingxiang looked at him, and understood what he wanted to say.
Wang Er's surging sense of justice made him unable to bear what he had just seen, if he was allowed to see the Eight Great Kings before his mood calmed down, he was afraid that he would immediately have to splatter blood for five steps...... But now is not the time for the rebels to make internal disturbances and kill their own people...... So he had to stay away.
Gao Yingxiang nodded: "Okay, leave it to me!" In the thirty-sixth battalion, except for Brother Zijin Liang, I am the biggest in the king, so I don't believe that I can't handle this matter. ”
"Uncle Chuang......" Xue Hongqi called lightly, and then sighed: "It's up to you......"
"Hmm!" Gao Yingxiang turned around and left.
Looking at his distant back, Xu Renjie couldn't help but ask a little worriedly, "Is this benevolent brother okay?" I see that although he is outnumbered, he lacks ruthlessness in his eyes, and if he is right with the eight kings of Xiying, he may not be able to suppress the scene. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Chuang is the eldest brother of my Northern Shaanxi Ma Gang, say one is one, say two is two! He said that if he wanted to suppress the eight kings, he would be able to suppress it. Xue Hongqi snorted.
"Cut, this is not something that can be done if you say it......" Xu Renjie snorted.
"No, he should be able to do it!" Zhu Yuanzhang added lightly: "If King Chuang is alone, maybe he really can't suppress the Eight Kings, but King Chuang has a good nephew, as long as his nephew is willing to stand on his side, the Eight Kings will definitely not be able to make a demon moth." ”
"You're talking about ......"
"Breaker!"
At this time, Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang, was also drowned in the brilliance of Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, no one knew that he was a more terrifying monster than Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying.
