Chapter 279: The World Returns to the Heart
The Southern Zhao army arrived at the city of Yuzhou, besieged the city of Yuzhou, established a camp under the city, and was about to launch a general attack on the city.
The number of defenders in the city of Yuzhou was far greater than the enemy army outside the city, not only the 50,000 Shenji army under the command of Jing Xiaolou, but also the garrisons in Chengdu Prefecture, Yuzhou and the Tang disciples of Tangjiabao, the total number of which was 780,000.
A large number of people also gathered in the city, and there were more than 100,000 locals in Yuzhou City, and later hundreds of thousands of displaced people who fled after the fall of Chengdu Prefecture.
The people of Shu had seen the terrible scene of the Southern Barbarian soldiers arresting people and refining Gu, so they fled into the few fortified cities in Shu in a panic, hoping that the defenders would not be captured and tortured to death by the terrible barbarians.
In ancient siege warfare, the besieged city was often reluctant to accept the influx of displaced people, for fear that there would be too many people and not enough food to eat in the city, resulting in a lack of food for the soldiers to defend for a long time.
The Chinese Empire claimed to govern the country with benevolence, and it was impossible to give up any of its people, so Jing Xiaolou ignored these cruel laws of war, and let as many refugees into the city as possible before the siege of the Southern Zhao army.
It is said that there are so many people in the city, and the enemy army besieging the city does not need to attack, as long as you wait patiently for a while, you can starve a city of people to death if you are hungry.
Luo Guoshi also let out a statement, saying that even if the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, there is no need to worry, he can send the Shushan Flying Sword disciple to carry the space magic weapon to carry materials and airdrop support, even if the barbarian army of Nanzhao State has besieged the city for a hundred years, he is not afraid of running out of food in the city, which greatly stabilizes the hearts of the army and the people.
Anyway, in response to the catastrophe of power generation for love, Luo Feng estimated that his space warehouse materials would be lost sooner or later, so he became generous, and took out the hoarded instant noodles, self-heating rice, jerky, and Zhutiangao delicacies as military rations, and there were a lot of fortified cities across the country.
In fact, these food supplies are not of much help to defend the city, Luo Feng has a mirror in his heart, knowing that the Nanzhao army has biochemical siege methods, and there is no need to besiege it for a long time, no matter how much food there is in the city, if it can't wait for the day when it is finished, people will already die of the plague.
This is only to act as a placebo, so that the people and the defenders will not be in chaos before the battle, they can calmly die, and they can be a full ghost when they die, leaving no regrets and no resentment.
Since the raid of the Southern Zhao Army on Chengdu Mansion, the offensive invasion has been like fire, the place where the soldiers have passed is like a grate, the splendid Shu land has been devastated by the scourge, the cities and villages have been turned into ruins, and there are no less than 300,000 people who have been arrested to refine Gu, and the land of thousands of miles is inhuman, leaving only people with white bones everywhere to martyr Gu pits.
These tragic scenes were filmed by Shushan flying sword scouts with video snails, and they were regularly broadcast live to the people across the country.
Luo Feng arranged this way because the invasion of the Nanzhao army did not affect the whole country, and the military disasters were concentrated in Shudi, so that the people of the whole country could empathize, intuitively understand the cruelty of war, and learn the truth that if you don't rise up to resist, there is only one way to die.
Lest the soldiers in front of them fight, but the latter is singing and dancing, and the people still think that if the butcher's knife does not fall on their heads, they don't have to lie down and wait for salvation.
The Moon Worship Sect Master also has no scruples about the people's hearts and backs, and indulges the evil deeds of the barbarians under his command, he is not afraid at all that he will win the world in the future but will not be popular with the people, as a top Gu master, the people are disobedient and only need to plant a three-corpse Gu, why sell Huairou well?
In the original plot, this guy was unpopular in his hometown of Nanzhaoguo, and the people of the Black Miao tribe were so complained about his scourge, so that Ling'er returned to China alone, and the people not only did not stop them, but also greeted each other because of their nostalgia for the witch queen, and now the invasion of other countries is even more unscrupulous, and they don't treat the Central Plains people as people at all.
The Moon Worship Sect Master was rampant, but he did Luo Feng a great favor.
It is the best way to rule by intimidating the people with terror, but if there is oppression, there will be resistance, and if you personally inflict bloody rule on the people and force people to obey, you will often be labeled as a dictator, and sooner or later you will be overthrown by the revolutionary masses.
But if the foreign invaders intimidate the people for Luo Feng, Luo Feng can be both a bitch and a memorial arch, even if the order issued is very inhumane, the people will be complaining in peacetime, and in the extraordinary period of foreign invasion, it will be taken for granted by the people.
A certain president of the National Assembly, the most stupid in history with an IQ of 80, was about to fall to the bottom before the plane crashed into the building, and as soon as terrorism caused trouble, he was re-elected with a high approval rating without any suspense.
In all parts of the country except Shudi, under the call of Luo Guoshi, the people enthusiastically served their labor, worked overtime to march into the factory to produce weapons and gunpowder, and refused to leave work even after vomiting blood.
Even if the people were asked to donate money and materials to support the front line, and the young and strong were forcibly conscripted for military service, it was proclaimed as the honor of defending the family and the country and joining the army, and won the unanimous support and strong support of the masses.
This time, Luo Feng performed the Prospective Qi Technique, only to see that the rolling luck gathered from all over the country, circling and gathering at the upper mouth of the Chang'an Imperial City, and the hearts of the people in the world were condensed on the head of the Lingzi Emperor.
Luo Feng is not too surprised by this result, if he only relies on welfare to win the hearts of the people, he will only get used to eating too much every day and having nothing to do.
When Mongolia swept through Europe and Asia, except for a few cities in the Central Plains, it was not an iron hoof that fell everywhere, and was tortured by the Mongols as a fifth-class person for decades.
After all, this is a worse world, as a ruler, you don't have to do perfectly, excellence depends on your peers, there is such a superb opponent as the Moon Worship Sect Master to intimidate the common people for Luo Feng, can his prestige not rise immediately?
Not to mention that Luo Feng did a good job of governing the country before, even if he was a mediocre and incompetent corrupt official, he was only willing to let the people have something to eat, it was better than the Moon Worship Sect Master who was bent on killing them.
The people don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, and they can watch the fairy days of the live broadcast of beautiful girls, but no one is a cheap skin, willing to be a medicine residue and a Gu slave?
Now, the people of the Central Plains have only begun to really remember the good of Imperial Concubine Luo, and no one is behind the scenes to arrange the demon concubine to confuse the empress and cause trouble to the dynasty.
……
The Nanzhao army repaired under the city of Yuzhou for ten days, digested the people captured before, and refined them into a new batch of Gu worms, so that the whole army left the camp and fought under the city.
Dressed in black robes and holding skull staffs, Gu masters came out of the crowd, chanting awkward ancient witch spells, and releasing blight Gu worms that had been fattened by human flesh.
All the Gu masters' staffs waved in unison, and the Gu worms flew overwhelmingly towards the head of Yuzhou City.
