Chapter 108: Soldiers Descend on the City

"As usual, the officials are all beheaded, and those who wish to surrender can be spared death. I patted the startled wood and shouted, then grabbed a handful www.biquge.info of orders and threw them in the middle of the hall.

"Your Excellency spares your life." The officials knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, and then realized that they were speechless, and they couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Haha, this seat is the largest in the public court today, and you don't lose your voice." I laughed.

"Please be merciful and spare our lives." The crowd shouted as they kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Whoever confesses Lord Xu's whereabouts, this seat will go around whom." I said.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Liu Shouyi.

I understood a little bit at a glance, so I said slowly: "Lord Liu, everyone's lives depend on you." ”

"Lord Liu, although Lord Xu's official rank is higher than ours, and you are your brother-in-law, the lives of their family are not worth the lives of so many of us." Tongzhi Guo Zhong arched his hand.

"Please think again, sir." The officials shouted in unison.

At this time, Liu Shouyi was under great pressure, and he couldn't help but tremble, and beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down.

"Lord Liu, you must think clearly, so many people's lives are all in your thoughts." I lost no time in persuading.

Liu Shouyi finally collapsed, he collapsed to the ground, and said sadly: "Lord Xu's family is all hiding in the prison cell of the state office. ”

"Hehe, I'm really good at picking places." I sneered.

Without my order, Wu Lin Hongru waved his hand and led a group of flag-bearers to pounce on the cell located in the west wing of the state office like a wolf.

It didn't take long for Xu Jingwei's family to be escorted into the lobby.

When Xu Jingwei came in, he glared at Liu Shouyi resentfully, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will not be me." ”

"Father-in-law, don't come unharmed." I hugged my fists and said, "My son-in-law has found you so hard." ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, this official is willing to apologize for his sins with death, for Wei'er's sake, you can let go of the Xu family." Xu Jingwei hugged his fists, and then slammed me to the ground.

"What did Miss Xu say?" I asked.

"The concubine is willing to follow her husband for the rest of her life and is unswerving." Xu Qiwei bowed to me Yingying and resolutely responded.

I didn't expect Xu Jingwei and Xu Qiwei's confession attitude to be so good, which made me a little embarrassed, and I couldn't make up my mind about how to deal with them for a while.

I squinted at Yu Xuan, she smiled but didn't say a word, shrugged her shoulders and pouted, and made an indifferent expression.

"In that case, I will spare your lives." I said, "Father-in-law, you don't have to kill yourself, although you can no longer be an official, your son-in-law can still keep you rich and safe for the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you." The old and young of the Xu family knelt down together and thanked them.

"Don't dare to be." I quickly jumped up from my chair and knelt down to salute in return.

"The lower official has a daughter, and she is willing to give it to the lord as a concubine." Liu Shouyi suddenly shouted loudly.

"Xiaguan also has a daughter!" Seeing this, all the officials rushed to shout.

I suddenly had a black line, and I had to look helplessly at everyone and smile bitterly.

"It's hard to resist the kindness of everyone." I clenched my fists and said, "Well, you can bring your daughter with you at once, and if one of my brothers is in love, you can marry." ”

Although I did not go on, everyone present understood that once the marriage was successful, the families of the officials would naturally save their lives.

With my permission, the officers ran out of the lobby to find their daughters who were escorted in the front yard and took them inside for our personnel to choose from.

I looked around and saw that every one of the officials had daughters around them, and some even surrounded them by several people, many of whom were minors.

"Shameless, in order to survive, I brought all the young girls here." I said angrily.

"Your Excellency, be gracious." The officials and their daughters all knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Hey, that's it." I sighed, "For the sake of these poor children, I don't care about you. ”

"Thank you, sir." The crowd shouted in unison.

"Let's pick, and if you choose, bring it to yourself." I said to the rest of my staff.

After a while, all the women in the lobby had a home.

Grandma's, these perverts don't even let go of children, and what's more, they don't leave me two! I cursed in my heart.

"Every family came over to get a warrant and then hurried home to pack their things." I threw the rest of the warrant on the floor and said, "Wait for the order at home, and leave the city with us later." ”

The officials picked up the order from the ground, thanked them, and left one after another.

In an instant, all the big and small officials in the lobby were gone, and in the end, only Xu Jingwei's family remained.

"Father-in-law, please take the whole family to the inner hall for a rest." I hugged my fists.

"The virtuous son-in-law bothered." Xu Jingwei nodded politely, and then led the whole family to the inner hall.

"The party has officially begun, brothers and sisters don't have to be polite, just treat Shouzhou as their home." I ordered on the gang channel, "Anyone with a warrant is not allowed to be harassed." ”

"Helper Wise!"

"Long live the helper!"

"The gang leader has been dominating the rivers and lakes for thousands of years!"

The gang channel suddenly became lively, and everyone swiped the screen to pay tribute to me.

I was so proud that I couldn't help humming a little song.

"Brother, are you going to sing here until dawn?" Little Sword asked.

I glared at Xiaojian, and then slowly stood up.

"Brethren, what are you waiting for? Fight the local tyrants, go! I waved and shouted.

Everyone laughed and laughed and rushed out of the state office with me, and rode straight to the rich family in the city.

Suddenly, all the gang members were prompted by the system and told that we had entered the wanted list of Shouzhou, and thus entered the wanted list of Nanzhili.

Everyone didn't care, and they all expressed their disdain on the gang channel.

"Go to the prestige of his official mansion, the Ming Dynasty will die sooner or later, and prestige has a fart." I sneered.

"Well, if we want to achieve great things, we will have to be enemies of the government in the future." Dongfang Kui nodded.

"What a big door, this family must have money, brothers, go up!" My eyes lit up as I pointed to a house in front of me and shouted.

"Kill!" Everyone shouted loudly, and one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they rushed over with great emotion.

In the small city of Shouzhou, every household is being looted, and there are cries and wails everywhere, like hell on earth.

The feast lasted a full five hours and did not end until dawn, not because we had enough, but because of the presence of officers and soldiers from outside the city.

When I received the news of Wu Jiangong, I was talking to my little wife Xu Qiwei, who had not passed through the door, in the back hall of the state office, and our relationship had developed smoothly to holding hands.

"The big thing is not good, thousands of officers and soldiers are coming." I jumped up and shouted, "Rescue soldiers from Fengyang Mansion." ”

"Xianggong doesn't need to panic, although Shouzhou City is small, its defenses are extremely strong." Xu Qiwei said with a smile, "Over the years, the people of Shouzhou have built the city wall to prevent floods. ”

"Yes, what Wei'er said is very true." I smiled softly.

According to Wu Jiangong's report, the officers and soldiers gathered at the west gate, because there was no moat outside the city wall on this side, and it was easy to attack the city.

"Urgent notice, the officers and soldiers are now in the city, everyone put down their affairs and go to the west gate to participate in the defense." I ordered in the gang channel.

There was a commotion on the gang channel, and everyone quickly gathered on the city wall amid swearing.

Wu Lin Hongru had previously found a large number of weapons in the arsenal to defend the city: the wolf tooth slap and the Yaksha slap, which came in handy at this time.

The so-called wolf tooth paddle is a paddle made of elm wood, 5 feet long, 4 feet 5 inches wide, and 3 inches thick, with hundreds of 5-inch long wolf tooth iron nails nailed on the paddle; and a ring at each of the four corners, and put on twine, and hooked it to the city; When the enemy is attacking the city, it is pulled by a winch, lifted and lowered, and photographed.

The principle of the Yaksha is similar to that of the wolf's tooth beat, but the appearance is different, it is 1 zhang of elm, 1 foot in diameter, iron nails are nailed around it, 5 inches out of the wood, and the two ends are ankles, with a diameter of 2 feet, and the iron rope winch is lowered and retracted to hit the besieging enemy.

Although the wolf's tooth paddle and yaksha are a little worn, the wood is still strong, and the nails on them are mostly still alive, although they are covered with rust.

It's good to be rusty, even if you can't shoot it on the spot, it will make them get tetanus afterwards, I secretly rejoiced in my heart.

As for the other weapon used to defend the city, we had to take local materials, tear down some houses, and replace them with beams, purlins and rafters.

We also put the bricks and tiles that we had removed on the walls, and while they were not comparable to the power of the rolling stones, they were somewhat lethal when thrown from a great height.

In addition, we have erected many cauldrons - boiling water and boiling oil are also indispensable aids in defending the city.

I climbed the tower of the west gate and looked into the distance, only to see that the leader was the general Sun Dahu of Fengyang Mansion, and I found that this time the siege weapons of the officers and soldiers were very complete and advanced, such as ladders, battering rams and artillery.

"Damn, nothing else, the artillery is too buggy." I said angrily, "I'm afraid it won't take a few shots to fall." ”

"This is the legendary Franc machine, right?" Fei Yuqing asked.

"Furlong Chicken @ Ba?" Xiaojian exclaimed.

Everyone burst into laughter together, laughing breathlessly.

"Nima, I'm so uneducated, don't say you know me in the future, shame." I laughed and scolded, "The Franc machine is the name of the artillery." ”

"The Franc machine is not a Hongyi cannon, it is not so powerful, and it can't blow up the city wall." Dongfang Kui said, "But if you want to bombard the defenders of the city, it is more than enough. ”

Firearms and cavalry, that's the real invincible, I said in my heart.

"Don't panic." Wu Lin Hongru said, "We hide when they open fire, and when they go up the wall, we come out to block it." ”

"Brother is right, the Franc machine only has 3 sub-cannons, and the three-plate axe will stop as soon as it passes." Dongfang Kui nodded.

"Hongru, don't you see the artillery and the bird gun in the arsenal?" I asked.

"Shouzhou is just a small city with an area of more than 3 square kilometers, and the officers and soldiers maintain law and order, so how can they use firearms?" Wu Lin Hongru shook his head and said, "The regular army is only equipped with Franc machines and bird guns. ”

"These aren't elite troops in the city, are they? The cavalry numbered no more than 100 people, and most of the soldiers used cold weapons, and only a few franc machines supported the faΓ§ade. I laughed.

"Helper, although the officers and soldiers besieging the city are not carrying heavy artillery, if they can't attack it for a long time, the government will inevitably mobilize other troops to come to reinforce it, and then there will be Hongyi cannons to bombard the city wall." Xuanyuan said.

"In that case, this battle must be resolved quickly." "But we don't have cavalry at hand, so there's no other way to defend it." ”
