After finally persuading Xiao Feifei to retreat, as soon as the city gate closed, he saw a group of Baibo troops coming out from the opposite side.
The people standing on the city gate tower couldn't help but take a second look.
It was okay not to look at it. After seeing clearly that the group of people were unarmed civilians, Wei Cheng frowned and felt something bad.
Wei Hao and other clan elders also changed their expressions, "Damn it, Mrs. Bai Boguo wants to frame my Wei family for injustice."
Wei Qing frowned and said, "Are they so willing to accept Mrs. Guo's arrangement?"
The fifth uncle Wei Zhu behind Wei Hao came up, frowned and said: "It's just a combination of kindness and power. If someone doesn't want to, as long as he kills him in the name of a deserter, if he kills him a few times, he can only be slaughtered by others. Where can ordinary people be? If they can think of such a profound level, they may also be thinking about making achievements."
"Making great achievements?"
"Without soldiers or armor, what's the difference between charging them and sending them to death?"
Some people immediately expressed confusion.
Wei Wei explained helplessly: "Maybe it's just a matter of luck. Some local officials saw civilians charging ahead and ordered the city gates to be opened to admit them into the city for the sake of reputation.
However, once the city gate is opened, it cannot be closed. These people will gather behind the city gate to clear the way for the Baibo thieves. After the city is attacked, they will be rewarded with some meat to eat if they are alive. If they are lucky, they may even earn a pawn. Dangdang.”
"Then kill them all." Zhang Fei said angrily, leaning forward with the Zhangba snake spear in his hand, eager to try.
When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at this young man who had just made great achievements. He smiled and said: "It's not impossible to kill him, but the reputation will not be good if it spreads. After all, he is an unarmed civilian. Is there any kindness? The suspicion of righteousness."
Zhang Fei scratched his head, looked at Wei Cheng aside, curled his lips and said, "What about it?"
After everyone heard this, they also looked at Wei Cheng. It was up to Wei Cheng to decide whether to kill or not. After all, it was related to the reputation of the Wei family.
Wei Cheng was also a little embarrassed at this time. He knew such disgusting military tactics in ancient times, but he only remembered that the Hu and Turks used them before. They would capture some Han people to serve as dead soldiers and charge into the battle, consuming the arrows, rolling logs, etc. of the defenders. Ordnance supplies.
However, I didn't expect that the Baibo Army would already use such disgusting tactics, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
At this time, Cai Yan, who was standing not far away, suddenly said: "In that case, don't open the city gate, just put down the rope ladder. My husband is not a hard-hearted person. As for ordinary people, we should save them." , just don’t open the city gate.”
"Hey, madam, this method is very wonderful!" Xu Ding stood up in time to flatter him.
Cai Yan smiled and secretly winked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng also felt that her suggestion was good, as it would not damage the Wei family's reputation, but also defeat Mrs. Guo's plan, killing two birds with one stone.
Wei Hao and others also looked sideways. They didn't expect that there was such a good way. It was just a rope ladder. Why didn't people in the past think of it?
They no longer expected to cling to Wei's reputation. After all, compared to fame, saving the lives of the family was more important than anything else.
Now, it’s good. We can save people without opening the city gate and keep our reputation. Haha, it’s really a good strategy.
"There is nothing more than a good wife and a good mother!" Wei Yao glanced at his eldest brother Wei Hao teasingly.
You know, Wei Hao didn't treat Cai Yan very well as his daughter-in-law before. He kept criticizing her and even persuaded her to go back to her parents' home.
Wei Hao glanced at Wei Yao guiltily.
At this time, the group of unarmed civilians had already rushed to the city gate.
Several Baibo thieves mixed in the crowd shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Hurry up and open the door. We are all common people in Hedong. Please save my life."
"Yes, open the door quickly. The Wei family is a prominent family in Hedong. They should have the heart to benefit the world. Open the door quickly!"
"Open the city gate, open the city gate..."
Several people exchanged glances with each other, and as soon as the city gate opened, they immediately stepped forward and killed the soldiers who opened the door. This was another great achievement, and they were sure to get a few happy wives when they turned around, hahaha.
But at the next moment.
Boo hoo hoo…
I saw dozens of rope ladders hanging overhead.
The people standing on the city gate tower shouted: "Since you are a subject of Hedong, I, the Wei family, will definitely save you. Climb up quickly."
"..."
The Baibo thief who was mixed in the crowd was immediately stunned.
However, they were confused, but the civilians they oppressed were not confused. When they saw the rope ladder, they all hurried forward, grabbed the rope ladder, and climbed up.
In just a moment, dozens of people climbed up the city gate tower along the rope ladders. They turned around and shouted to the people below: "Come up quickly. The Wei family has prepared hot porridge and steamed cakes for us. They didn't lie to us." , great, we have something to eat.”
"Ah, if there is really something to eat, I'll go up there too. I've only eaten a bowl of root soup in the past few days and I'm starving to death."
"There are still cooking cakes, go up, I want to go up, stop inking, if you can't go up, get out of the way..."
At this time, the people above shouted again: "Great, my dear, we really have food. They also said they would help us settle in the city. Come up quickly, Shuanzi, bring your sister-in-law up." "
In the crowd, a tall, lean man with a dark face raised his head and shouted: "Don't worry, brother, I'll take my sister-in-law up right away."
He looked thin, but he was really strong. He pulled away from the crowd and said to the woman behind him: "Sister-in-law, follow me closely."
Although the woman was weak, she still managed to squeeze in front of the crowd with his protection. The black-faced man grabbed the swinging rope ladder and motioned for her to go up first.
After the woman went up, she turned back and said, "Uncle, come up too."
The dark-faced man nodded, smiled innocently, grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up.
But at this moment.
Poof!
"Ah, murder!"
The face of the black-faced man changed drastically. When he turned around, he saw a white bandit with a ferocious face holding a bayonet. The bayonet penetrated his back and came out from his stomach, dripping with blood.
"You bitch, I'm going to let you climb... Everyone, listen, you are not allowed to climb up. If you try to break down the city gate, you are not allowed to climb up. Do you hear me?"
Under the rope ladder not far away, a Baibo thief also showed a fierce look: "A bunch of mud-legged people, do you think we don't exist? You try to climb another one, you damn, get out of my way."
Everyone took pictures of the murderous weapon in his hand and they all moved out of the way. They saw him swinging the big knife in his hand and slashing wildly at the rope ladder, cursing: "Let you climb, let you climb..."
The conditions below several other rope ladders were similar. Seeing that the city gate could not be opened, these mud-legged men entered the city through the rope ladders. The Baibo thieves lurking among them suddenly became angry and exposed one by one.
On the city gate tower, Wei Cheng and others looked at them condescendingly.
"Where are Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, and Hua Cun!"
"Here!"*3
Wei Teng's face was cold, he pointed at the thieves who were showing off their ferocity below the city gate, and said, "Go down and kill them."
