After the city was built on the earth slope, there was another alternation of day and night.
It is already the seventeenth day since Linzi City was under siege.
In order to cross the obstruction of the city wall and moat, the Alliance army sacrificed countless lives and was delayed for a full half a month.
Finally a smooth road was opened.
The emergence of the slope directly affected the entire battle situation, allowing the Allied forces to get rid of the passive situation of being beaten but unable to fight back.
The ladders only need to be occasionally deployed during feint attacks to distract the army's firepower and attention.
In the real main battlefield, countless refugees had already boarded the city walls of Linzi and began to fight hand-to-hand with the officers and soldiers, fighting head-on.
At this time, the officers and soldiers finally began to suffer a certain degree of casualties.
Even yesterday Xu He still refused to send out the main force and just continued to drive the refugees to be vanguards, but it still made Li Jiayuan extremely painful and his heart was bleeding.
Even if the refugees on the opposite side were too weak to fight and rushed forward in a swarm, they were easily defeated and fled in all directions.
But when enough people accumulate, let alone dozens of refugees for one officer and soldier...
Even if the battle loss ratio was a few hundred for one, Li Jiayuan felt panicked at the loss.
Of course, the slope also brought new changes to the refugees' side.
Some people began to surrender to the army.
Not even because he was defeated, but after rushing all the way along the slope to the city head...
These people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Perhaps they were thinking that they were being coerced by thieves and forcing them to attack the city. The officers and soldiers should understand and would not embarrass them.
They just want a way to survive.
But Li Jiayuan's decision completely destroyed their last hope.
Those who follow the thieves will be killed without mercy!
It's not that Li Jiayuan is cold and bloodthirsty, but in his current situation, how dare he let anyone of unknown origin enter the city?
The moat and city walls were lost one after another, and Linzi's defense force was already extremely fragile.
Who knows if there are any accomplices of the thieves among these common people, or insiders?
If there is a fire in the city and the city is besieged internally and externally, then it will really be doomed!
So even if Li Jiayuan knew that these people were forced to have no choice...
Even if he knows better, if he chooses to accept the refugee's avatar, it may divide the opponent and make them lose a lot of siege power...
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Li Jiayuan still wielded the butcher's knife.
.....
Seeing this scene, Xu He shook his head slightly.
This is indeed a temptation for him.
If the army accepts the surrender, Xu He can fish in troubled waters and arrange for a group of people to go in and help Sima Ju who is still in the city.
After all, although the other party has an official position, he has no real power.
In addition, the county governor Xu Xuan was on strict guard and had already grasped the logistics and government affairs in Linzi City at this time, not giving any opportunity to anyone who was interested.
Without manpower, Sima Ju would really not be able to make any waves.
Now, this calculation has come to nothing.
That’s all.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Although there were some flaws in the ointment, Xu He didn't mind it very much.
In his opinion, as long as the current situation is maintained and consumption continues, Linzi will definitely not be able to hold on first.
No matter how large the number of officers and soldiers is, and no matter how sufficient the equipment is, it is not infinite after all.
In ten days at most, this majestic city will change its owner!
He laughed confidently.
I even couldn’t wait to think about it.
After entering the city, how to occupy important areas...
How to plunder those essential resources more effectively...
Food, weapons, equipment...
And the huge wealth accumulated by those wealthy families over many generations!
Thinking of this, Xu He glanced to both sides.
Looking to the left, he smiled mockingly, seeming not to care much anymore.
That was the camp of Chen Jiao and others.
When he turned to the right, his eyes instantly turned cold.
The handsome Qu didn't notice that his mentality had changed.
What I was thinking before was more about racing against time, seizing the time, and not giving Cao Cao a chance to return reinforcements.
At this time, he seemed to be blinded by greed and completely ignored Wei Wu's threat.
All he was thinking about was how to preserve his elite main force to ensure that he could suppress a certain leader and monopolize Linzi.
.....
Today, it was Chen Jiao's turn to attack the city head-on.
They are also having a meeting.
At this time, everyone in the tent looked ugly, as if they were mourning their heirs.
The impatient Huo Kai even yelled and scolded him, saying that Zhuzi was going too far to bully others.
Because at this time, they had so few refugees under their command that they were unable to attack the city.
It is the force with the smallest number of people in the alliance. It has suffered heavy casualties these days, and there are not many left.
And in the past few days, most of them were taken away by Wang Zheng!
The people of Zhao County brought by Wang Zheng played a great role in this matter.
They are both refugees, and other people can easily believe what they say.
In addition, Wang Zheng had arranged for Pan Zhang to explain in advance, and some rumors had been spread from the beginning. After they continued to be subtle, they finally fermented out not long ago.
Stunts such as "Zhang Jiao's reincarnation" and "God-given supernatural power" attract some foolish men and women.
There was also the reason for the uprising. Many villagers agreed with the picture of heaven on earth.
the most important...
However, in these days, Wang Zheng still used inducement rather than coercion to persuade the refugees to fill in rivers and build walls.
This is the most important key.
When these rebel leaders are competing against each other, sometimes it doesn't take much to make these refugees want to join you.
In addition, the officers and soldiers were unwilling to surrender.
So ever since the river was filled, refugees have been flocking to Wang Zheng's side.
Of course, this happened at the same time on Xu He's side and Chen Jiao and others' side.
It's just that Xu He noticed it early, and since his family has a big business, it's not serious at all.
But when Chen Jiao and others found out, it was already too late.
Because of this, Chen Jiao went to Wangzheng Yingpan to ask for an explanation, but was sent back with a few casual words.
What refugees?
Didn’t I repay you in full a few days ago?
This shamelessness made Chen Jiao beat his chest and stamp his feet in anger, but he finally endured it and did not dare to officially fall out with Wang Zheng.
On the one hand, the situation is stronger than the person.
On the other hand, it was also for a group of careless refugees. The leaders of these ragtag groups felt that it was not worthwhile and unnecessary.
But since there are not enough refugees, we can only send out our own troops.
this...
Yesterday, Xu Heke still used Refugee Charge.
After this comparison, everyone was unwilling and reluctant.
At this time, a soldier came into the account and reported:
"General, General Tiangong and Commander Qu have sent people to urge us to start the attack as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiao sighed and looked around at everyone:
"Everyone, this is the second time we've come to urge you. Let's go ahead."
"In a big city like Linzi, everyone is mentally prepared. It is only a matter of time before they use their main force."
There is no other way. The two man-eating tigers are constantly threatening. If they don't come forward at this time, they will give the other party an excuse.
Nowadays, Linzi has great hopes of defeating the city. Wouldn't it be even more heartbreaking to be kicked out at this time?
