Chapter 265: Driving the people to attack the city
"Could it be that..." Zhu Su and Zhu Di looked at each other wrongly. Both brothers felt something was wrong.
"What?" Zhu Xi, who had just come out of the city tower, was still confused when he saw two younger brothers, Zhu Su and Zhu Di, rushing out. Zhu Su and Zhu Di stepped on the city wall and saw a soldier crying.
Howling, the guard Cao Yuan ordered his men to pull him away to the east. The rest of the soldiers shook their eyes and looked out of the city with unbearable expressions.
"The people who didn't have time to escape into the city..." Zhu Di looked outside the city and murmured. "I should have thought of it a long time ago."
"Well..." Zhu Su bit his lip. The Japanese pirates were extremely conscientious, and it was actually normal to use such a method of attacking the city. The reason why the people were allowed to enter the city for temporary shelter was to prevent such a situation.
Zhang Li had some hope that it would not be a mistake after all. He hoped that he would care about the friendship between his compatriots and would not want to think that way.
But he forgot that there is nothing that cannot be exploited in the hearts of desperate careerists.
The more than a thousand people in the east of the city gradually came closer, as close as an arrow could reach, and then they stopped coming east. From the city tower, it could be seen that those people were indeed ordinary people, and most of them were wearing coarse cloth.
The people in linen clothes, and even the old and weak women and children, were crying non-stop. Dozens of Japanese people had Japanese swords on their waists, long whips on their legs, and shouted. Almost without looking, the Japanese people were slapping the heads and faces of the weeping people with their whips.
Cao Yuan looked at Zhu Su and saw that his face was ugly, but he had no intention of urging him to release the arrow. After hesitating, he did not order him to release the arrow.
"The city guard is listening!" In the east of the city, among the Japanese who were driving away the people, a Han voice came out.
"These people are all my people in Suzhou! Some of them are even our dear relatives and friends!"
"According to Zhu Ming's law, if we don't kill people indiscriminately, we will not be able to escape punishment."
"But if we capture that little boy Zhu Su and open the city gate, not only will our relatives and friends be reunited, but we will also lose the gold and silver marquis reward!"
"We, if we ask to kill our relatives and friends, we will be blamed by the Zhu Ming Dynasty, and we will not open the door to dedicate the city, and enjoy delicious food and drink."
"Let's think about it ourselves!"
From the east of the city wall, there were several sounds of shouting, cursing and whipping. The cries of nearly a thousand people suddenly became louder, and the pace that was originally slowing down also accelerated a little.
"..." When the city tower was there, the Suzhou guards suddenly became commotion. In fact, a few people looked towards Zhu Su. Zhu Su's eyes swept away like cold lightning, and the sergeants' eyes suddenly turned.
Shrank back.
"Don't listen to them! Everyone take your positions!" Cao Yuan, the city wall guard, shouted with fear.
The soldiers were obedient, but their legs and feet were no longer as sharp as before. Although no one really dared to capture Zhu Su, the morale of the soldiers was already floating, but this was not true.
"East of the Palace." Di Meng raised his shield to protect the three princes behind him, fearing that the Suzhou guards would mislead Zhu Su and wait for him. "The morale of the army was unstable, and those beasts and thieves actually used the common people to attack the city... as Ming did.
What can I do?"
"What's the matter? They're just ordinary people." Only Zhu Xi looked disdainful. "Is it possible that there are Japanese pirates?"
"Second brother, let me stop talking." Zhu Di knew that Zhu Su didn't like to hear that, so he stopped Zhu Xi and said: "Lao Wu, that's not a method commonly used by those grassland aliens."
"The solution is not difficult. Just ask the commander to give orders first. After starting the killing ban, the soldiers will naturally have no worries..." He said and looked at him hesitantly.
"Fourth brother, he knows." Zhu Su frowned and was speechless. Although Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are not brothers, among the three of them, he is not the one who has taken an actual position. If it is said that it is up to the coach Dongling, he will do his duty.
If you don't, then deny him.
Although Xin Dong couldn't bear it, he also knew his priorities clearly.
"Is he worried about military morale..."
The grassland warfare example mentioned by Zhu Di is different from this one. In previous dynasties fighting on the grassland, most of the troops used were drawn from different places. Therefore, when the barbarians used this method, the defenders often worried about whether the court would punish them and obtained the guarantee from the commander.
There will be no worries after that.
The situation in Suzhou is rather special. The elite soldiers of the Suzhou Guards were transferred to pacify Yunnan by the former commander Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin. Most of those soldiers now are filled by Yang Lu, who is a sign of local signs. Born and raised, among the common people in the east of the city, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be someone with them.
Close relatives and friends.
It's okay if he moves his legs. He has no foundation in the Suzhou Guard. If he moves his legs, the soldiers won't bear to move, or they may directly mutiny...
"Cao Yuan." Zhu Su called over the guard Cao Yuan, who was very close to him. "Let the people under my command be on the front line. If those people attack the city fiercely... when the time comes, my king
Huidong Ling, there is no need to leave any legs."
The men to the east of Cao Yuan's leg were all surrendered. In the previous battle against Zhang Ren, those men showed their intentions. The east leg was extremely decisive. In Zhu Su's heart, they were more trustworthy than the soldiers to the east of Yang Lu's leg.
"No." Cao Yuan didn't hesitate at all. Just as he was about to turn around and make arrangements, the voice repeated over and over again from the east of the city shouted again. Even some civilians outside the city at the base of the city wall heard the shout.
"Listen to the beasts outside the city!" Zhu Su was extremely irritated, his head became hot, and he shouted loudly.
"As Han people, we collaborate with the Japanese to oppress our compatriots."
"This is an act of a traitor! I actually had the shame to shout it loudly! Didn't my parents teach me any sense of shame?"
"He has never seen anyone so shameless!"
Chengdong's voice paused, and he was indeed speechless for a moment.
"Listen up, soldiers and civilians in Suzhou!" Zhu Su simply turned around and went to the soldiers and civilians outside the city to explain his interests:
"I know that some of us admire King Cheng and think that the thief outside the door is the son of King Cheng, so he will not kill us indiscriminately."
"Now can we see it? Zhang Li, the son of Prince Cheng, is not a traitor who collaborates with the Japanese to murder his fellow Chinese!"
"He worked in collusion with the Japanese. In those years, they pretended to be Japanese, burned, killed, and looted. He had already lost his conscience! We were thinking of King Huizheng, but he was only thinking about the glory of the past month!"
"Let's think about that Huang Chao! If such a thief broke through the city wall, would there be a way for us to survive?"
The story of Huang Chao has been spreading outside the city for a long time. Some hesitant soldiers and civilians were shocked when they heard this. No! What is the difference between Zhang Li who used people as vanguards to attack the city and Huang Chao who let the army eat people?
?
Don't you think that you are just an unscrupulous beast who ignores your own prosperity and treats the people as props and two-legged sheep?
"We can rest assured to defend the city! I will bear all the blame and karma on my own!" Zhu Su seized the opportunity and raised his arms and shouted. "If the city wall is broken, Hecheng will definitely be plundered by Japanese pirates! You concentrate on defending the city! Guard it.
This city will be greatly rewarded by my king!"
"The people in the east of the city are also listening! Either this king and his soldiers will kill us, or the traitor Zhang Li and the Japanese will kill us!"
"It's okay to be old and weak. If men are strong, don't be afraid of dozens of Japanese thieves. Why don't you switch sides and attack them to show your integrity?"
"I, the King, take care of the orphans and old people for us, and I would like to erect a monument to commemorate our Ming Yue's righteous deeds, so that we can be remembered forever!"
In the east of the city, among the people, there were indeed bursts of noise. The Japanese escorting them kept waving their whips in their legs, trying to stabilize the situation.
"Your Majesty is wrong! Confucius said it was benevolence, and Mencius said it was justice! Although they don't have the power to tie a chicken and can't kill thieves, how can they attack the city for thieves?" Among the people, a man who looked like a scholar raised his voice.
Phew. "The thieves gathered dozens of people, and they beat them to death together!"
"Baga Yalu!" A Japanese pirate was furious and pulled out the Japanese sword from his waist. As the sword flashed, the scholar's head suddenly disappeared.
"Killing people! Killing people! Japanese pirates killing people!!" Thousands of people were suddenly in chaos.
