At this time, the Marquis of Jibei's words contained the sound of gold and stone, but there was no trace of fear at all. He just ordered: "Come here, wear armor for me and take a spear. I will fight for my whole life, and I will die on the battlefield." "
As he spoke, he stood up, raised his eyebrows, and a murderous aura surged out.
"Yes, General." After listening to the order, the soldiers immediately took their armor and came over. The Marquis of Jibei put it on. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and led his soldiers to the city. At a glance, the walls were full of soldiers. It is covered with equipment, and there are hanging doors erected at the crenellations.
The wall and floor are covered with rolling wood and hammered stones, and there is also a small trebuchet erected, which can be used to throw the stones to the city. There are also thorns. As the name suggests, the thorns are full of sharp iron barbs, and there are also iron caltrops and golden soup.
Such an arrangement can be called rigorous. The Marquis of Jibei suddenly felt calm. He had an army of 30,000, and with such preparations, how many tens of thousands would it take for the imperial court to capture it
Just as they were thinking, they suddenly heard the sound of a horn, and everyone's expressions changed. They all looked around and saw the imperial army formally approaching from Pingchuan. The troops were in good order and were divided into sections and flags.
The Marquis of Jibei was old enough to fight. With just one glance, he initially estimated that the number of people was at least 50,000. He couldn't help but sneer: "They are indeed well prepared!"
At this moment, the flag bearer below waved the flag, and soon there were bursts of noise and crying. When the Marquis of Jibei looked, he saw rows of civilians coming out of the military formation, getting closer and closer, and only men and women could be seen. , there were old and young, so densely packed that the Marquis of Jibei couldn't help but be surprised: "The imperial court still uses ordinary people to attack the city?"
The city was prepared with huge rocks, gold juice, fire oil, giant trees and other defenses. The soldiers looked down, wondering whether they should move.
"Master, the relatives of the Jibei bandit army are all close relatives according to your instructions. Their number is five thousand, and they are all here." Song Zhi stepped forward and reported to Pei Ziyun.
The 20,000 bandit soldiers, if all the family members are gone, at least 100,000, are all carefully selected now, and there are them in every township and county. Pei Ziyun smiled: "These family members are invited, they have not suffered too much grievance, right?"
After Song Zhi heard this, he quickly said: "Master, some of these relatives refused to come, so the general had to force them to come, and some of them were only willing to move here after being convicted."
"Some people have been wronged, but I can guarantee that no one was killed or deliberately tortured. They were given food rations along the way. Some were too old, weak, or sick, and could not withstand the journey, and they were not selected. .”
After hearing what he said, Pei Ziyun understood. Please come here in a proper manner? It's possible that some people were afraid and fled halfway, or some smart people spread rumors. Necessary force and coercion are still necessary, as long as it does not lead to large-scale persecution.
"Get up, this is a good job." Seeing Song Zhi kneeling on the ground, Pei Ziyun had no intention of pursuing it: "Take these relatives to the city. I have something to ask them to do."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Song Zhi trembled and asked with surprise: "Master, are you letting these thieves and their families attack the city?"
"Haha!" Pei Ziyun laughed: "How is that possible? Just bring it with you."
"Yes, real person."
Song Zhi turned around and left, leading the people forward. Pei Ziyun turned around and looked at the soldiers: "Go to the warehouse, go and send the trumpet down, one in a team, don't rush to talk, take turns shouting!"
"Yes, real person." The soldiers immediately responded to the order and left.
The Marquis of Jibei looked at the people and was thinking when he suddenly heard someone holding a loudspeaker crying: "I am Li Gong from Hu'an Township, Linchuan County. My son, don't fight. The imperial army is besieging the city. You can't win. Surrender." Bar."
The old man already had wrinkles on his forehead. He looked at the city wall and shouted loudly, with tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly there was a commotion on the wall of the state capital, and then there was another voice: "I am Zhang Qiaoniang from Donghu Township, Li County, husband, my son and I are waiting for you."
The woman held a trumpet and started crying. The younger son also started crying, and the entire city wall heard it.
"I am Hong San from Douou Root Township, Zhen County. Your mother is going blind from crying and can't come. You want me to tell you, surrender and stop fighting. Every household is trying to eat a meal. Now the Marquis of Jibei After plundering all the food, if we continue to fight and the chaos continues, your mother will starve to death."
The names were announced one by one, and very cleverly. There were representatives from every county and township. They shouted for a while, and the cries in the city were loud. Some people started crying in the city. With the beginning, the soldiers suddenly had no will to fight.
"This, this, this?" Marquis Jibei did not expect this, and his hands trembled with anger, saying: "Despicable, shameless, extremely despicable and shameless."
Some of the school lieutenants, captains, and corps commanders who came into view were all moving, and they seemed to be restless.
Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Jibei's heart sank. If he hadn't suffered heavy losses in Qibei County, how could he have wavered? With a sullen face, he ordered: "No one is allowed to cry. We will go to the barracks and those who cry will be punished on the spot!"
"Yes!" There was a law enforcement team composed of personal soldiers. They stepped out and were about to kill people. Before going down, someone suddenly shouted: "Fire arrows!"
There was a sound of bowstrings and arrows whistling. In an instant, a dark cloud rolled over the sky. The sky turned dark. The speed was too fast. Although the soldiers reacted, it was too late. A team was holding their throats and rolling on the ground struggling. , blood continued to flow out, staining the ground red, and just like that, a dozen soldiers rolled on the ground and screamed.
Before the Marquis of Jibei could react, he heard someone shouting: "Cum again!"
There was another whistling sound, and it made a continuous "thumping" sound. At this time, the soldier who reacted turned pale, opened his mouth wide, looked at the rain of arrows falling like a rain of locusts, and instinctively raised his knife - No one brought a shield.
In an instant, a large amount of blood spattered, and the dozen or so soldiers who were still alive turned into hedgehogs.
"Who dares to move?" Several captains stood up, holding long swords in their hands. Many soldiers everywhere stood up, holding bows and arrows in their hands. The subordinates originally drew their swords towards them, and they were deeply hostile.
Looking at the captains and soldiers in front of him, Marquis Jibei stuck his spear on the ground and stared: "Are you rebelling?"
A general came forward with a long sword and said coldly: "My lord, now you are going to die. We all have families and children, so how can we be buried with you?"
"Shen Ping, how dare you." The Marquis of Ji Bei scolded him sternly.
"My lord, I'm sorry." Another general stood up and said, and someone else said: "Who can follow you at this point?"
As he spoke, several generals came out, all of whom were usually close to the Marquis of Jibei. One of them did not speak at this time, but just sighed: "My lord, go on your way - kill!"
Suddenly there was a shout, and thousands of soldiers came to kill them. However, there were only two to three hundred soldiers of the Marquis of Jibei. The hairs on the bodies of these soldiers who followed the Marquis of Jibei stood up.
"Kill" There was no general around, so the Marquis of Jibei drew out his spear and rushed forward. The soldiers looked at each other and followed him, a feeling of mourning permeated the air.
The Marquis of Jibei held a spear in his hand, and when he was halfway through the charge, he glanced around. Except for the personal soldiers who were following him, there were tens of thousands of other soldiers and all the battalions were silent. Both generals and soldiers watched silently without making a sound. throat.
This kind of indifference really chilled the heart of the Marquis of Jibei. He no longer had any luck. He shouted and rushed forward to kill. For a moment, the sound of killing broke out everywhere.
On the city, there were continuous shouts of killing. Pei Ziyun's soldiers were surrounded. Hearing the fighting on the city wall, he just shook his head: "It seems that the Marquis of Jibei is finished."
"Yes, not only the soldiers and generals, but also the support of the big officials and gentry in the city, especially the Zhang family, Li family, and Qian family, all responded." A Taoist official responded, and couldn't help but sigh when he said this: "I had not completely made up my mind at first, but as soon as the navy surrendered, I immediately responded without saying a word."
"The real person plans the strategy, the temple is thousands of miles away, but the Marquis of Jibei actually has no other chance."
"This is just flattery, but it still sounds very comfortable." Pei Ziyun smiled and looked towards the city: "I wonder how long the Marquis of Jibei can last?"
The war is bloody and cruel, making it almost impossible to face it, but talking and laughing, the powerful enemy is wiped out in smoke, which gives people an indescribable pleasure. Even Pei Ziyun has to admit that the fruit of victory is so sweet and delicious that it makes people remember it for a long time. Can't forget.
"kill!"
The second team that was strangled in the city seemed to be elites, and the battle was extremely bloody. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, and blood splattered all over the ground under the light of the sword.
However, these veterans who had been fighting for a long time from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood quickly took advantage of their numerical advantage to continuously squeeze and kill the soldiers, and divided them up in a plan. If the city had not been so large, the effect would have been even more obvious. In the blink of an eye, Listening to the continuous screams.
Shen Ping's face was fierce, and he was fighting with the Marquis of Jibei. He was trying to kill the Marquis of Jibei. However, the number of soldiers of the Marquis of Jibei was decreasing rapidly. Two hundred, one hundred and fifty, one hundred, fifty people. Everyone around him was killed. He blinked, and there was blood all over his body.
"Shen Ping, take your life." The Marquis of Jibei roared. He seized on a flaw and raised the steel spear. Shen Ping's knife was released, with a look of horror on his face: "No!"
"Go to hell!" The Marquis of Jibei was full of murderous intent and thrust the spear fiercely. Shen Ping was unable to dodge and the spear penetrated deeply into his body.
Shen Ping's face was full of disbelief. When he pulled out the spear, his whole body twitched and he fell down. Blood continued to flow from his body.
"Haha!" The Marquis of Jibei laughed and shot an arrow at the Marquis of Jibei. Shen Zhi, who had just caught up, pounced. The long arrow pierced his chest and came out from behind, and he immediately fell to the ground.
"Mr. Shen?" The Marquis of Jibei caught up and looked at him.
"Lord, I will die today. I will follow you and I will not regret it." Shen Zhi said with all his strength, but his voice was actually weak and almost inaudible.
"Go ahead, I'll be there shortly." The Marquis of Jibei said. Seeing that Shen Zhi was exhausted, he drew his gun and stood up. He glanced at it and saw that there were only a few people left beside him. He immediately shouted and charged towards the enemy formation. When he went up, his face was covered in blood, with a strong murderous aura.
The general on the other side had a complicated look on his face and shouted: "Shoot!"
"Whoosh!" There was another dark cloud, and the Marquis of Jibei couldn't even resist. He was hit by dozens of arrows and fell down, turning into a hedgehog.
At this time, all the soldiers had been killed. The general went up and knelt on the ground to watch. He saw that the Marquis of Jibei was vomiting blood and had entered the dying stage. His eyes were wide, and he was not looking at the general. He murmured: "Your Majesty, why?" If you don't make me the Duke, why do you want to cut off my last guard? I don't accept it, I don't accept it... "
Before he finished speaking, he was already exhausted.
As soon as the Marquis of Jibei died, the gate of the state capital opened. The leading general held a bloody human head and a seal, and led dozens of captains out. They held white flags and knelt on the ground: "We surrender."
Seeing this scene, the army all shouted loudly, and for a moment the mountains roared and the tsunami roared: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."
