The young warlord raised his sword and dropped it, causing the three civilians to fall to the ground.

The scene was somewhat silent for a while.

Immediately, he loudly said: "If anyone backs off, this is what will happen!"

Supervise the army and supervise the war.

They had received orders from Prince Zhu Zhen before they were sent here.

Strict measures should be taken to let these civilians know the situation. War and siege should not be treated as a child's play.

You are here to attack the city, not to fight around. You must correct the attitudes of the people and change their identities.

Zhu Zhen was well aware of Guan Ning's plan. He wanted to appear hypocritical and show his hypocritical benevolence by not killing the civilian husband.

This is to disrupt the morale of our own military!

The reason why the Daning defenders let it go was because they didn't feel the pressure.

It is difficult for the civilians to make progress in attacking the city. There is no threat at all when they gather under the city, so they are naturally not in a hurry.

If we really attack the city wall and there is a real risk of losing the city, will we still remain indifferent?

Zhu Zhen didn't believe it.

Therefore, he wanted to intimidate the civilians and let them attack the city desperately and achieve results.

His idea was correct.

Since Guan Ning wanted to create a character, then he destroyed Guan Ning's character.

As long as the Daning defenders start to use force to kill civilians, conflicts will increase and their reputation of benevolence and righteousness will no longer hold up.

This is not just a battle on the battlefield, but also a scheming contest.

You have laid the plan, I will break your plan!

Zhu Zhen didn’t believe he would lose!

The father remained silent at this moment, showing his acquiescence.

Explaining is also a way to recognize yourself.

Zhu Zhen sent another 3,000 troops to push ladders, chariots and other equipment under the city.

Soldiers and civilians attack the city at the same time. It depends on you whether to kill or not?

Seeing that the governor was really serious, the civilians had never experienced such a battle, and under the threat of death, they couldn't help but rush in with fear in their hearts.

This time it was a passive siege, and the mentality was completely different.

When there is no clear order to retreat, it is a rule in the army to kill those who retreat without mercy.

But if such strict requirements are imposed on these civilians who have no military experience, how can they adapt?

Those who retreat will be killed, and those who are idle will be killed.

The governors watched eagerly and killed dozens of those who were idle and did not attack. The civilians were afraid and could only rush in.

The long ladder was put up again.

Thousands of regular troops sent out also pushed the ladder over.

They are very cunning.

Let the civilians cover the soldiers, and it’s up to you to kill them or not...

"Do not use force and do not kill."

Guan Ning said: "In this battle, we are just talking!"

"Talk?"

"It means moving your mouth."

Cao Bin suddenly realized that he had just been shouting for a long time, wasn't he just moving his mouth?

"The enemy's ladder has been set up. If we don't take measures to block the enemy, we may attack the city wall."

"Come on."

Guan Ning said nonchalantly: "What will happen to these civilians even if they get on the city wall?"

The civilian husbands were just coolies, not even as good as corvees. They had suffered some kind of abuse. They all looked thin, hungry, yellow and weak, and had no fighting ability at all.

Not to mention that Guan Ning originally wanted to use a heart attack strategy, but even if he didn't use such a strategy, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Cao Bin nodded.

This is indeed true.

"Just let nature take its course."

Guan Ning said: "Don't you see?"

"Now Zhu Zhen clearly wants us to take action, but we refuse to take action."

"Understood."

Cao Bin took the order and left.

The civilians began a new round of siege on the city. The city wall defenders still adopted the strategy of neither attacking nor fighting, never harming anyone, and of course there would be some obstruction measures.

The soldiers guarding the city found some long sticks. When they saw someone climbing up the ladder, they stretched out their sticks to stop them.

Several ladders were erected, which were difficult to knock down. Some civilians climbed up the city wall, but they were not killed. They were just pulled aside and trapped.

This is easy to do.

"Stay here for now until the siege is over. We will arrange a ladder to lower you down. Don't make things difficult for us."

The soldiers guarding the city looked cheerful.

This, on the contrary, made the people at a loss.

They don't understand any national hatred. They only know that the soldiers guarding the city could have killed them. They would rather go up the city wall and not touch them at all. What else?

There were also some civilians who were seduced and deceived by Zhu Zhen who were more radical. They took weapons and tried to kill people in exchange for the merits of freedom, but their weapons were only taken away, and they were not harmed either.

These civilians were temporarily taken to a shed under the city.

A brazier was placed in the middle and hot water was prepared.

"Just stay here for now. You can rest assured that no one will hurt you."

There was a kind-looking scribe who was responsible for receiving them.

"Your Majesty knows that you are also forced to attack the city. He knows that it is not easy for you, so please warm up first."

Being treated like this, all the honest and honest people felt that they deserved it.

This is really repaying evil with kindness.

The siege continued, but it was unusual.

There was no shouting or yelling to kill, it looked quite harmonious.

The military governor immediately reported the situation here to Zhu Zhen.

"Didn't you kill anyone?"

Zhu Zhen frowned.

"No."

"The defenders of Daning would rather let the civilians climb the city wall without killing anyone."

"hateful!"

After receiving such a report, Zhu Zhen was furious!

The purpose of using civilians to attack a city is to consume the enemy's troops, and to consume their weapons that can bang and explode.

But now?

The enemy didn't even fire an arrow!

What a waste!

Zhu Wen has gone back, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhu Zhen is in charge now.

"Deploy another group of civilians to attack the North Gate at the same time and let them attack the city!"

"It's a siege!"

"Let them go crazy!"

"Tell them that if they can't capture the city, they can't withdraw their troops and they can't eat!"

Zhu Zhen was furious.

He felt he had to take some strong medicine!
