Chapter 217: Lip Service

After dawn, as Li Guanqi expected, the rebels did not attack, but sent a large number of sergeants to cut down trees and prepare siege equipment. Yesterday, in one day's effort, the 20,000-strong army lost nearly one-third, and Liu Shuo's eager brain finally began to calm down.

While preparing the siege equipment, Liu Shuo did not wait, he sent a thousand people to march to the position where he was a stone's throw away from the Jinsha Pass city wall, stopped, and began to shout and curse. He hoped that through this way, he could force Li Guanqi to open the city gate and lead his troops out to face him in a real battle.

All of a sudden, words such as "shrunken turtle", "cowardly as a mouse", and "incompetent" kept flying into the city, but these were not really unpleasant, so the defenders of the city did not pay attention to them.

Seeing that their own spit was wasted, the rebels who were responsible for the scolding became more and more angry, and in anger and shame, they simply tore off their faces and began to greet the women of the families of the soldiers in the city loudly.

In this way, the soldiers in the city can no longer be calm, although they have been reminded by Li Guanqi in advance, everyone is ready to be scolded in their hearts, but after all, the soldiers are all bloody young men, who can stand the women in the family being greeted to their heart's content?

Xie Chen's anger was like thunder, he pulled out his sword, and he was about to take people out of the city to fight, Cheng Fugui also followed the excitement, not only did not stop him, but he was also busy asking people to follow him.

Li Guanqi saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Calm down, don't fall for the enemy." I told you yesterday that you must hold your breath and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, have you forgotten? ”

Xie Chen glared at the beads and said, "But what are they scolding?" Who can stand it? Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, rather than suffocating in the city and stealing their lives, suffering from this kind of bird spirit. It's better to go out and have a good fight. ”

"That is, those who are afraid of death will continue to hide here, and those who are not afraid of death will go out to fight." The soldiers behind them also began to heckle.

Li Guanqi's face sank, and he said angrily: "You know that going out to fight is happy, but have you ever thought about it?" You go out and fight, and die happily. But what about the people in the city? The rebels have suffered such a big loss, once the city is broken, will they let the people in the city go? Seven or eight times out of ten, the city will be slaughtered. Do you think that I don't let you go out of the city to fight because I am greedy for life and afraid of death? If that's the case, I, as the emperor, can sit in Beijing, so why should I come to the front line of this nine deaths? You are not afraid of death, I am very relieved and admired! But there is value in dying. Just trying to go out and die in vain for a while, not only will it not be respected, but it will leave infamy and a laughing stock. ”

Seeing that everyone was a little calmer, Li Guanqi continued: "Being scolded now is only for a while, and being scolded after death is a lifetime." I get out of the way now, and if any of you want to die and be scolded, you can go out of the city now. I won't stop me. ”

Xie Chen stopped and muttered, "But I was scolded by them like this." It's really infuriating. ”

Li Guanqi laughed and said: "They can curse, won't you?" As I said yesterday, today's scolding is also a war, and since it is a war, we will win it. Go, call me all the loud and ugly ones. Scold me back with all your might, and scold whatever is ugly. You take it first, and I'll go and get reinforcements for you!" ”

The defenders of the city were already uncomfortable, and soon organized a team of hundreds of people and scolded the city in unison. And by the height of the city walls. The sound spread from high to low, and it had a overwhelming momentum more than that of the rebels.

The rebels have been bullied a lot in the past two days, where can they still let the people of Jinshaguan suppress the scolding again? At that moment, two or three thousand people were transferred and joined the scolding team. There are even some rebel soldiers who directly unbuttoned their pants and peed in the direction of Jinsha Guancheng, showing off some of their organs, but they are different in size, and they are really not neat.

So the offensive and defensive sides fought a unique "scolding battle" across a city wall, taking turns to vent the dirty words they could think of to the enemy army, and scolding until all the swear words that could be scolded were finished, and the two sides dug out their minds to think of more negative words.

For a time, inside and outside the stone wall, the swear words were reckless, and the lonely city was up and down, and the spit was gushing. It's really a swear word and spit, and the swear words and swear words are the same color, so it's not lively.

Just when the voices of the soldiers on both sides were hoarse, Li Guanqi led hundreds of women to climb the city wall, among which the middle-aged and elderly women were the absolute main force, all of them had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, and each of them held a simple megaphone made of a mat in his hand.

All the soldiers in the city looked at the women's army behind Li Guanqi inexplicably, and they didn't understand what was going on. But seeing Li Guanqi's order, all the women raised the horns in their hands together and cursed loudly at the rebels under the city.

It turned out that Li Guanqi, who left in a hurry just now, did not go to hide and rest, but used his good popularity among the women in Jinshaguan to mobilize the vast number of working women to join the battle to defend their homeland.

If you want to say that this is scolding, women are better at it. The swear words that the soldiers on both sides racked their brains to come up with just now were all pediatrics in front of this group of women's army, and because the two sides had been scolding for a long time, the soldiers in charge of scolding on the rebel side had already become hoarse.

Although Liu Shuo was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Li Guanqi, he was able to achieve today's position, not entirely by nepotism, and in the minds of his subordinates, he also had a high reputation, and now the general in their minds was being ravaged by the women of Jinsha Pass in words, and the morale was not high, and it plummeted after this battle.

Liu Shuo saw that his scolding array was also unsuccessful, and he was so annoyed that he was in a hurry, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to go and prepare.

When the soldiers on Jinsha Pass were cheering for victory, they saw a horse released from the rebel army, and immediately the knight held a package in his hand, and shouted loudly while approaching the city wall: "Don't release arrows, I am ordered by General Liu to come to give a gift to General Li, who claims to be the emperor in your army, please don't release arrows."
