After Zhu Lingyun laughed, he stared at Cao Yang and Jiao Yu.
Jiao Yu's face turned pale and he was speechless.
Cao Yang pretended to be calm and said: "Why did the defense envoy say this?"
Zhu Lingyun didn't say anything. Hundreds of soldiers poured out from the streets and alleys and rushed directly into Cao's mansion.
But for a moment, screams were heard coming from inside.
When Zhu Lingyun saw that there was an ambush, he was about to speak, but he saw that Cao Yang had already escaped ten steps away.
When the soldiers rushed into the house, Cao Yang instinctively ran away.
Zhu Lingyun unhurriedly took off the bow and arrow from his horse, stretched it to full string, released his fingers, and the arrow passed directly through his chest.
When Jiao Yu saw Cao Yang running away, he also ran away in the opposite direction to Cao Yang.
After Zhu Lingyun killed Cao Yang with an arrow, he chased Jiao Yu on horseback.
When Jiao Yu heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, his feet softened in fear and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Zhu Lingyun rode on Jiao Yu's body, feeling the soft flesh under the horse's hoofs, and said viciously: "You ungrateful fools, I knew from the beginning that you were just like those untouchables, and had no good intentions. Never did I, in the Tang Dynasty,
Have I treated you badly? Looking forward to Master Wang? Ha, go underground and look forward to it..."
"Come here, kill all the Cao and Jiao families, leaving no one alive! Pull out all their corpses and patrol the streets. I want all the treasonous people in the city to know that this territory of Shuzhou, whose surname is Li,
I still don’t believe Guo.”
Zhu Lingyun roared loudly, like a furious beast.
A wounded and critically ill beast, a beast that cannot be saved.
Shuzhou is his home, and Zhu Lingyun never imagined that he would be surrounded by enemies on all sides in his hometown.
Although today's killing can suppress those with ulterior motives, how can the defenders dare to accept the support of any gentry in the future?
"asshole!"
Zhu Lingyun cursed, of course he knew who caused all this.
The guy outside the city hadn't yet attacked the city, but Zhu Lingyun already felt that Shuzhou couldn't defend it.
On this day, Luo Youdu was analyzing the current situation in Huainan in the commander's tent, and suddenly received a report from Chang Side: "The commander-in-chief, for some reason, many corpses were suddenly dumped on the Shuzhou City Tower."
Luo Youdu was slightly stunned and said curiously: "Let's go and have a look!"
He said and strode out of the tent.
Zhang Qiong also followed behind him.
Whenever there is a war, Zhang Qiong, the leader, will automatically be promoted to Luo Youdu's bodyguard, always by his side.
Luo Youdu came to Shuzhou and was out of the range of arrows. As expected, he saw densely packed corpses lying in a strewn pattern not far from the city tower. They were piled up in one place and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.
What does it mean?
Could it be a plague?
biochemical weapon?
No, certain factors are required for the formation of a plague.
Usually there are various prerequisites such as harsh environment, rotting corpses, etc.
The siege has not started yet, and there have been no strange phenomena in Shuzhou before. How could there be a plague?
At this moment, soldiers shouted in unison from the tower: "Luo Youdu, I have seen through your little tricks. Everyone in the city should be wiped out. If you don't retreat quickly, otherwise the corpses under the city will be your fate."
Luo Youdu suddenly understood the reason, paused, and said: "Chang Dutou, take some people up quietly in the dark at night, carry the body back, and find a place to bury it."
Although they were not his internal agents, they died because of his own strategy, and he couldn't bear to see them die in the wilderness.
Shi Shouxin also heard the movement, rode over and asked, "Who made the arrangements in advance?"
Luo Youdu shook his head, but said: "So be it!"
Shi Shouxin said: "Since the strategy doesn't work, let's attack directly. Shuzhou is not a strong city like Shouzhou. The city tower is not high. As long as we build more ladders, we can climb directly to the city. In my experience, as long as we spend some manpower,
Shuzhou is not difficult to defeat."
He knew that Luo Youdu always cherished his soldiers, so he advised: "There is no way in which people will not die in this battle, especially when attacking a city, you have to use people to pile up, there is no way."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Wait a little longer..."
He pointed at the ten-foot distance in front of him and said: "There is nothing you can do about this Shouzhou. How can it be difficult for me to get in this small Shuzhou? I plan to build a mound here, and the mound will be built higher than the Shucheng tower. We
The archers could use their advantage to launch arrows into the city, suppressing their defenders. In this way, they could easily board the city, minimize casualties, and be more confident in taking Shuzhou. From this, Zhu Lingyun could gain insight into the fluctuations in the hearts of the people in the city.
You can tell he is a character.”
"Since he is a person, there is no need to confront him head-on and let him taste the feeling of being powerless!"
Shi Shouxin said in astonishment: "Although the Shuzhou city tower is not high, it is not easy to build a mountain of earth that is higher than the city tower. How can we do it with just 10,000 soldiers?"
Luo Youdu said instead: "Who said we only have ten thousand?"
Luo Youdu did not explain much.
Shi Shouxin soon knew the answer.
When Fang Huizhen and Zhang Liangyu led 40,000 Luzhou people to the front line with their own hoes and shovels, when Song Qi gathered the people from the surrounding areas of Shuzhou and arrived outside Shuzhou City.
Shi Shouxin was shocked!
Fifty thousand slaves were drawn into the other side's territory, and no one escaped, there was no commotion, and there was not even a complaint.
Shi Shouxin has been fighting for so many years, but he has never seen such a scene.
Luo Youdu looked at the mighty "army" in front of him and smiled with some relief. Looking at Shi Shouxin who looked shocked, he said: "Perhaps the people's hearts are the least valuable in this world, but... they are by no means useless."
Shi Shouxin didn't know what words to use to respond.
Luo Youdu stretched out his palm and just grabbed it and said: "Zhu Lingyun opposite is a person, and it is easy to guess our purpose. Their only way is to go out of the city and destroy Tushan while we are not paying attention, and restrict the progress. Brother, your
The cavalry is divided into four teams, and the four thousand soldiers under Commander Wu are also divided into four teams. You and your cavalry cooperate with each other and take turns guarding the mound. If the opponent dares to leave the city, attack them directly."
Shi Shouxin just reacted at this time and sighed: "Listen to brother."
Zhu Lingyun stared blankly at the mounds in the distance. There was no news of the rescue mission sent out.
Zhu Lingyun thought about going out of the city and destroying the mountain many times, but when he saw the infantry and cavalry guarding the mountain day and night, he knew that if he dared to go out of the city to fight, he was afraid that Shuzhou would fall before the mountain was built.
For six nightmare-like days, Zhu Lingyun watched with his own eyes as the mountain of earth in front of him gradually surpassed the Shuzhou City Tower.
Despair, helplessness!
"It's time to attack!"
Luo Youdu on the other side issued the siege order at the right time.
The exciting drums beat loudly.
On the top of the earth mountain, five hundred bows were set up and shooting arrows, and they were thrown towards the towers of Shucheng.
Arrows like raindrops fell on the tower.
The soldiers on the tower could only defend passively with their shields, and did not care about the soldiers who were climbing down the city carrying ladders.
