The crowd let their horses gallop and ran for several miles before they bypassed the southwest corner of the city and turned to the hillside outside the southern city, and the field of vision opened up in front of them, and the scene outside the south gate came into view. I saw that outside the south gate of Zezhou City, there was a small army, and from a distance, the number was only four or five thousand, of course, these people were all warriors, and the old and weak women who could not occupy it were not mixed in it, but fell far behind to watch the battle from afar.

It seems that Zhang Xianzhong's strength at this time is indeed weak, and this strength is far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang.

King Gao Yingxiang couldn't break through Xicheng with an army of 18,000, and Zhang Xianzhong's troops didn't even think about it, because his soldiers were not necessarily better than Gao Yingxiang's, and they were just a group of thieves.

Unlike the fierce fighting outside the West Gate, Zhang Xianzhong on the south gate did not attack, as if he was waiting for something, and the whole army did not move.

Xue Hongqi glanced at it twice, and then felt strange: "What are the eight kings doing?" Why do you keep standing still? ”

Gao Yingxiang shrugged: "I don't know either...... Since we haven't entered the combat state yet, let's go directly to his Chinese army and talk to him. ”

"No need, let's just watch it here!" Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhang Xianzhong was not a good person to get along with, if he casually got into his military array, beware that it was easy to go in and difficult to get out, and the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, so don't take this unnecessary risk.

But it's boring to stand here and watch, a stationary army, and a city on full alert, what's the point of staring at each other? Xu Renjie looked at it and yawned: "Brother Zhu, what are we looking at here?" It's a landscape painting, motionless. ”

"If you don't move your eyes like this, but don't withdraw your troops, there must be a plan!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The eight kings are going to make a demon move......

"Demon tricks? What tricks can you have? Xu Renjie said boredly: "There are so many pairs of eyes staring at his army in the city, and he can't make any moves......"

As soon as he complained, he suddenly saw Zhang Xianzhong's army move, and a large group of chaotic characters were pushed out, at least five or six hundred people. These figures include old men, children, women, and squires...... In short, they are non-combatants. The men also pushed carts, which were filled with mud, stones, and other messes, and some carried ladders, which seemed to be used for siege.

"Huh? What is Zhang Xianzhong doing? What does he mean by getting these people out? "Xu Renjie didn't understand it.

Gao Yingxiang, Xue Hongqi and the others also shook their heads, all feeling dazed.

They couldn't understand it, but Zhu Yuanzhang could understand it, and his face suddenly changed: "It's not good...... These are ......" he said as he stopped talking, a deep anger shooting out of his eyes.

These are the ordinary people in the suburbs near the city of Zezhou, who were arrested by Zhang Xianzhong and gathered here, and then each person sent a cart full of dirt and stones.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was full of ferocity, waved his hand in the middle of the formation, and a group of thieves with bows and arrows and Pu knives forced behind these people: "Rush forward, go over and fill the moat for me." ”

"Uh......h Wow......" The people let out a miserable cry.

"Do you hear that? Give Lao Tzu to fill in the moat? A thief was shouting and scolding, and then the whip fell on the backs of the people, and a woman walked too slowly, and caught up with a thief soldier behind her, and with a wave of her sword...... Poof, blood flashed, a big hole was cut in the woman's back, she fell to the ground, she didn't die for a while, blood rushed, her miserable and sharp screams floated high, echoing in the air. The woman struggled forward on the ground, crawled a few steps, and was trampled by the thief, then raised her knife and thrust down...... The knife pierced her in the back, pierced her chest, and pinned her to the ground...... Now she couldn't even climb, and finally there was no sound.

"Go fill in the moat, or you'll die!" The thieves brandished their blood-stained knives and laughed viciously.

The tragic death of the woman frightened the other people, and they began to move forward with weeping, and the sound of hundreds of wheelbarrows weighing heavily on everyone's hearts. The people were forced to move forward by the knives in their backs, but they also knew that the act of filling the moat would be attacked by the defenders of the city. So as they walked forward, they shouted to the officers and soldiers on the city wall: "Don't let go of arrows, we are good people......

"Don't shoot us, we're forced......"

"Master Officers and Soldiers, please come out of the city to save us...... Ah...... "The man who spoke was shot with an arrow and fell to the ground.

"Don't do that...... Woo......"

The officers and soldiers on the city wall and the villagers were suddenly dazed...... "Lord Qianhu, they ...... They're here to fill the moat, shall we release arrows? An officer and soldier asked Shangguan.

"Let your mother ......" a villager next to him scolded: "Those people are the people of our Zezhou, don't you soldiers from northern Henan treat our people in Zezhou as your own?" ”

"But...... They're going to fill the moat......"

"Lord Qianhu, tell me, what should I do?"

"I ...... How do I know what to do? "The thousand households at the head of the city panicked.

"Shoot the ......"

"Don't let the arrows ......"

"Fucking arrows......"

"Who the fuck dares to shoot an arrow?"

The city of Zezhou, where the army and the people were united, suddenly had a rift, and this rift was torn bigger and bigger, bigger and deeper, by the team composed of good people. Although the people pushing the cart walked slowly, they finally arrived in front of the moat, hundreds of people took turns to overturn the cart, and the mud and sand merged into the river at once, and the small river, which was not too wide, was filled with a small half of the width at once...... ", the moat will be finished if you go on like this!" An officer and soldier finally couldn't bear it, as soon as his hand was released, an arrow came out of the string, hitting a person with a cart, the people screamed, and fell to the sky, and the people next to him were startled and got out of the way, and then gathered around and cried loudly with the person who was hit by the arrow.

"Which bastard put the arrow? I'm going to your whole family. The townspeople and the people in the city shouted angrily.

"I'm here to protect you...... too," the soldier who fired the arrows defended, "and the moat is gone, and we're all going to die." ”

"You're just fucking trying to protect yourself...... someone went over and punched the archer, and then there was a slight chaos in the city, and several people scuffled, and they didn't know which side was which.

The thousand households leading the army should make a decision, but he doesn't know what to do!

Another northern Henan soldier wanted to release the arrow, but the Xiangyong next to him reacted very quickly this time, and immediately pounced, throwing the archers to the ground, and then the fist of "bumper and bumper" sounded, and the two people scuffled on the ground...... Where the other archers dared to release their arrows, they all lowered their arms.

The thieves under the city, wielding swords and bows and arrows, called the people back, filled the carts with dirt, and told them to march towards the moat again...... "Open the gates, let these people flee into the city!" "Someone suggested it to Chinohe.

"No, thieves may mix with the people and kill them into the city, and we can't separate them...... Spears and bows and arrows were not to be pointed at them, for as soon as the gates were opened, thieves would take advantage of the opportunity to enter. ”

"But they're going to die......"

As he spoke, the thieves outside swung their knives and killed an old man who had no strength to push the cart, and blood was sprinkled on the yellow sand, a heavy emotion that weighed on the hearts of everyone in the city...... Save? Don't save? To save the fuck or not to save?

Not to mention that the city defenders were speechless, even Gao Yingxiang, Xue Hongqi, Wang Er, Miao Mei, Xu Renjie and others who were watching the play on the slope of the oblique corner also felt an indescribable heaviness enveloping them.

Xue Hongqi's voice trembled: "This...... How so? ”

"This is a tactic that the Mongols love to use!" Zhu Yuanzhang said heavily: "Use your relatives to block your sword...... Use the tactic of destroying people's surnames to test your surname...... If you have a surname, you'll watch the enemy break through the city. If you don't have a surname, shoot arrows at your relatives, maybe you can defend the city, but the pain in your heart will destroy you, maybe tonight on the third watch, you will hang yourself on a crooked neck tree with your belt. ”

"Silk!" The leaders gasped in unison.

Even King Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but take half a step back: "I'...... I didn't expect the Eight Kings to attack the city in such a way......"

Wang Er clenched his fists, and Le Ma rushed forward: "I'm going to save these people!" ”

"Don't, don't, don't go!" Ying Shanhong knew that Wang Er did what he said, so he hurriedly pounced, pounced on his horse, hugged Wang Er's waist, and dragged him off the horse...... Whoever does such a thing, it doesn't matter if you are the leader of a friendly army or not, as long as you hinder his plan, he will kill you......"

"If you want to save these people, you have to send troops over......," Xu Renjie said.

"Our soldiers are too far away...... Where will it be too late for them to be transferred? Wang Er roared angrily.

"It's too late...... Just hold back! Zhu Yuanzhang said sadly: "You have to learn to control your emotions......"

"I can fucking learn anything, but never learn this." Wang Er struggled desperately, wanting to get rid of Yingshanhong, but Yingshanhong was not very easy to get rid of, although her physique was worse than Wang Er, and her kung fu was also a little worse, but if she hugged Wang Er desperately, unless he hurt the killer, don't want to get her away.

"Lady thief, let it go!"

"I can't put it in charge!"

"Lao Tzu beats you with a big fist ...... bowl"

"Beat, beat! The old lady won't let go......"

"You fucking let go of me...... Wang Er swung his fist on Ying Shanhong's back, this punch was very heavy, making a muffled sound of "Peng", Ying Shanhong snorted in pain, coughed and choked, but his hand did not let go.

"Hmm...... The ...... of the house If you hit again, hit hard...... Beat me up......" Ying Shanhong was punched but was not angry, still holding Wang Er's waist tightly: "It is better to be beaten by a man than to be a widow by a dead man......"

"Ahh

Wang Er was reluctant to play the mountain red again, gave up the struggle, and fell to the ground with his back to the sky, roaring loudly. Ying Shanhong was still afraid that he would jump up again, and the whole person was pressed on him, holding on to him.

Gao Yingxiang, Miao Mei, Xue Hongqi, Xu Renjie and others standing next to him did not have a trace of blood on their faces.

The moat outside the South Gate is filling up at a rapid pace...... The officers and soldiers on the city wall were as stunned as woodcocks...... Zhang Xianzhong's thieves brandished a Pu knife and slashed a woman who had no strength to push the cart to the ground...... Blood is so red......
