The artillery roared all day and night, but on the second day, the bombardment stopped.
Bai Yutian came out to check in person, but saw Kou Wang running over in a hurry and reporting to Bai Yutian.
"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of ordinary people have appeared on the city wall. The rebels are using these people to block their swords. It is difficult for us to make a decision at the moment."
After all, they also know Bai Yutian's character of loving the people like a son.
Although these people in Yuzhou City have been corrupted by the rebels for a long time, in the end they are still the people of Zhou Dynasty.
If they kill randomly, it might have the opposite effect.
"What!" Bai Yutian was shocked and quickly went outside to check.
After seeing Yuzhou City, Bai Yutian found that the city wall was full of people, including men, women, old and young.
These people were very frightened when they saw the Zhou soldiers ready to go and the cold artillery, but they could not escape because of the obstruction of the rebels.
They can only pray in their hearts, hoping to survive.
"This Gu Chengxuan is really hateful."
"In order to delay time, I even used this trick." Bai Yutian said angrily.
Gu Chengxuan knew that he could not hurt innocent people, so he asked these people to come up.
Even if Bai Yutian couldn't help himself and hurt these people, Gu Chengxuan could use the topic to make Bai Yutian lose the support of the people.
Once upon a time, Bai Yutian had a very bad reputation in the Zhou Dynasty. He could be said to be a foolish king who oppressed the people and made them miserable.
Now Bai Yutian's reputation has finally been established, and various people's livelihood foundations are being improved.
If he loses the support of the people at this time, it will definitely be a devastating blow to Bai Yutian.
This will plunge him into a bottomless abyss, and even if he unifies the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will soon fall apart.
Gu Chengxuan calculated well, and this move was enough to delay Bai Yutian for a long enough time.
Bai Yutian was also furious, but there was nothing he could do against Gu Chengxuan.
"Your Majesty, although this move can delay our time, for Gu Chengxuan, it will also make his people lose heart." Yuncheng came over and said.
When it comes to using ordinary people to block the sword, Gu Chengxuan is obviously at the end of his rope and has no other options.
"Yuncheng, is there anything you can do?" Bai Yutian asked quickly.
However, Yuncheng just shook his head.
"Judging from the current situation, we can only attack the city slowly."
Seeing this, Bai Yutian sighed helplessly.
In the next three days, Bai Yutian gave up his artillery and kept trying to attack the city.
However, Yuzhou City, as the core of the rebels, is not so easy to break.
The Zhou soldiers suffered heavy losses, but still failed to capture Yuzhou City.
This made Bai Yutian very anxious. Calculating the time, even if they captured Yuzhou City, they might not have time to support Eagle City.
Just when Bai Yutian was at his wits' end, Dazhou welcomed a mysterious guest.
This man was called Lin Jing, and he claimed to be able to help Zhou capture Yuzhou City.
Upon hearing the news, Bai Yutian quickly asked someone to invite him over.
Later, Bai Yutian sat in the Chinese army tent, accompanied by Zhao Chuxue, Kou Wang and others, and met this guest from Yuzhou City.
"Lin Jing, who are you? How can you help me capture Yuzhou City?"
When seeing Queen Bai Yu, Lin Jing was very respectful.
"Your Majesty, I am the remaining branch of the Lin family. The Lin family was surrounded and suppressed by Gu Chengxuan, and I was the only one who managed to escape."
"In order to avenge Gu Chengxuan's annihilation of his clan, I came here specifically to propose a plan to let Your Majesty seize Yuzhou City to eliminate Gu Chengxuan."
Bai Yutian raised his eyes, "People from the Lin family!"
This rebel army originated from the Tianyi Rebel Army, and the earliest initiators of the Tianyi Rebel Army were the Shijiabao and Lin families.
Lin Jing was also a little scared after hearing Bai Yutian's words.
"Your Majesty, we have realized our mistake. Since a year ago, our Lin family has wanted to abandon the dark side and join the bright side and rely on the imperial court."
"It is a pity that those led by Shi Wanqin persisted in rebellion and refused to surrender."
"Coupled with Gu Chengxuan's secret obstruction, our Lin family has no choice but to help the evildoers."
Bai Yutian waved his hand and had no intention of listening to Lin Jing's explanation. He just wanted to hear Lin Jing's plan.
Through Lin Jing's explanation, everyone learned that Lin Jing had the support of a small aristocratic family in Yuzhou City, and this small aristocratic family happened to be Gu Chengxuan's right-hand man.
Now this little aristocratic family has learned about the defensive layout of Yuzhou City. As long as Da Zhou attacks at night, they can capture Yuzhou City in one fell swoop.
After hearing Lin Jing's plan, Bai Yutian asked someone to take Lin Jing down, and then he started discussing strategies with everyone.
