Chapter 746

After crossing the Jinshui River, the brigade stopped at a place less than three miles north of Qingyuan City. There were no more rescuers in the city. Fang Xie's plan to fight the defenders of Qingyuan City outside the city fell through. In fact, Fang Xie himself knew that it was almost impossible to wipe out the defenders of Qingyuan City outside the city. His purpose was to consume the enemy's troops as much as possible, It will also be of great benefit to the future siege.

Stark, who was shot in the shoulder and stabbed in the chest and thigh. Fu Zhengming, who had half his forearm cut off, was captured alive, bound and escorted to Fang Xie.

Fang Xie sat on the white lion with one leg crossed and looked at the two people in front of him.

This is the first time Fu Zhengming and stark have seen Fang Xie. In their cognition, Fang Xie is a murderous devil and a ruthless executioner. When they were captured alive, they knew in their hearts that their fate would not be better. Fang Xie came under the banner of revenge. Since he is the enemy... How can there be a miracle?

But they didn't expect it. Fang Xie just glanced at them faintly, then waved his hand and ordered: "take it down and apply wound medicine to them first."

"Here!"

Several Xiaoqi schools went back with people. Fu Zhengming and stark looked at each other and didn't understand what Fang Jie meant.

But their injuries are really serious. If they don't stop bleeding in time, they can die. The two men were taken down uneasily, but at the same time they couldn't help looking back at the young man.

"Set up the riprap truck and install the city hammer."

Fang Xie gave an order and raised his eyes to observe the city wall.

"There are at least more than 10000 troops guarding the city. I asked. The one with a broken arm is Fu Zhengming, Fu Zhengnan's younger brother. The 10000 troops he brought out are his private soldiers. Fu Zhengnan controls hundreds of miles around Qingyuan City, but Fu Zhengming guards the following counties. This time we go south, Fu Zhengnan urgently sends Fu Zhengming's troops back to Qingyuan City."

Wu Yidao looked at the big city opposite and sighed slightly: "more than 10000 troops defend the city. The city wall is so strong that it's hard to fight."

"It's not the city wall that's hard to fight, but the people's heart."

Fang Xie was silent for a moment and said: "Even if a city is strong enough, more than a hundred stone throwing trucks can crush the garrison. We still have a captured gun that can bombard the city gate. Even if the city gate is blocked, the city wall can collapse for a long time. What I'm worried about now is the attitude of the people in the city. There are more than 10000 garrisons in Qingyuan City, and the people in the surrounding counties are concentrated in the city , once the people go to the city to defend... It's not easy to fight this war. "

"The general has a way?"

Wei Xiting asked.

"Try to be fast."

Solution: "The people have a blind obedience. If the war ends soon and the army enters the city, the people will accept the defeat and let it go. If it takes a long time, the people in the city will be hard to fight if they share the same hatred. This is the first city we want to fight. Those Nanyan people behind us look at it. I used to break the enemy and don't keep alive this time... Come on!"

Fang Xie suddenly thought of something and turned to the humanity of Xiaoqi School: "take more pen, ink, paper and inkstone, find soldiers who can write, write text messages, tie them to feather arrows, shoot into the city, and tell the people in the city that we go south for revenge, not for looting and killing. As long as Fu Zhengnan hands over the Hundred Surnames of Pingshang road and the money and food plundered at the beginning, we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"General..."

Chen Dingnan didn't understand: "when Nanyan army attacked Pingshang Road, Fu Zhengnan's men and horses didn't go north."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "but at the beginning, many of the people plundered by Murong yongduo were detained by Fu Zhengnan in Qingyuan, and many materials were intercepted. This is what Murong yongduo told me at the beginning. Fu Zhengnan will never hand over these people and materials, but the people in the city will be angry. As long as the people in the city and Fu Zhengnan are not one heart, it is not enough to worry about breaking the city."

"Here!"

Chen Xiaoru answered and quickly ordered people to do it.

In half a day, thousands of written letters were tied to feather arrows.

"Let the riprap truck launch and suppress the city wall garrison."

Fang Xie ordered.

Qin yuan, who had simply treated the wound, took the command again and slowly pushed up with the infantry array. Hundreds of riprap trucks had been assembled. With the command of the commander, the auxiliary soldiers who operated the riprap truck immediately got busy, twisted the cable, pulled down the boom, and then more than ten people carried a boulder up.

With the sound of the horn, hundreds of stone riprap trucks were powerful at the same time.

The garrison on the wall looked nervously at the outside. When they saw the riprap truck waving its arms in the distance, they immediately looked up to the sky. The stones thrown were getting bigger and bigger, and then fell on the wall!

The stone smashed the battlements, and the soldiers of the Nanyan army hiding below were crushed into meat mud before they could even cry. The blood slowly flowed out under the stone, thick and smelly. When they saw a huge stone falling towards this side, the Nanyan archers in the arrow tower immediately howled. They ran down in panic, and half of them were hit by the stone in the ruins before they could get down. Someone said He jumped directly from the arrow tower and immediately broke his leg. Bai Sensen's bone stabbed out of his lower leg with red shredded meat hanging on it.

"Hide behind the wall! Don't run around!"

Fu Zhengnan personally commanded and shouted loudly to keep his soldiers calm. It is said that the people of Nanyan have not experienced war for hundreds of years. At the beginning, the troops of the great Sui Dynasty did not continue to go south, so that the people on this land could avoid disaster. This time, they saw the tragedy of the war.

Someone once said that no matter how great a natural disaster is, it can't compare with the harm brought by war.

Perhaps the fierce natural disaster is not as terrible as the flesh and blood of war.

With a bang, a huge stone directly smashed through the roof of the city tower and fell into it. The archers hiding inside were immediately photographed over three or four. Some people were pressed under the big stone, while others were pressed half of their body. A man who looked up and down at the age of 40 was pressed on one foot. He shouted and pulled out. Several people scrambled to save him, He pulled his arms and shoulders back hard. With a click, he was broken, his ankle was finally pulled apart, his feet remained under the big stone, and his legs were pulled out.

The blood left a trace on the ground, just like the reluctant connection between legs and feet.

The riprap truck kept firing stones. It seemed that the black flag Army wanted to kill all the defenders on the city wall before attacking. Fu Zhengnan, protected by dozens of guards, looked out through the crack of the battlement, and the muscles on his face were twitching. He watched a big stone fly over the city wall and fall into the city. There was a wail from the reserve team inside the city wall.

Can I hold Qingyuan?

Fu Zhengnan asked himself in his heart, but he couldn't give himself the answer.

"Stop! Stop!"

I don't know who shouted. The people on the wall found that there were no big stones in the sky. The soldiers hiding under the battlements carefully straightened up and peeped out. A soldier whose face was scratched by gravel slowly put his head out and looked out. When he found that the enemy's stone dump truck did stop, he couldn't help but give a shout, but the cry was not over, and a feather arrow popped into his eye socket.

"Be careful!"

"Arrow array!"

The soldiers of the Nanyan army who looked out howled and fell down again, because they saw the dense arrow array outside the city wall.

The feather arrows leave the bowstring neatly, dense to block out the sky and the sun. The dark one flew up the wall, and the wall was immediately covered with a layer of white feathers.

Under the attack of such a dense arrow array, the defenders on the wall can't lift their heads at all.

"Fight back!"

Fu Zhengnan pushed away the soldiers around him, ran over and kicked away the Garrison under the wall pier, and personally operated the crossbow to fight back. Driven by him, the defenders on the city wall finally began to fight back, and the crossbow and archers began to operate. Although many were damaged by the previous stone throwing cart, more than half of the crossbow on the city wall can still be used. For the arrow array, the lethality of the crossbow can be imagined.

But the counterattack on the city wall began. Not long after, they were surprised to find that the arrow array outside the city had retreated!

"Eh?"

A soldier saw something strange about the feather arrow tied on his companion's body. He pulled it out and looked. He found that there was a note tied on it. The note had been blurred by blood, but he could still see the handwriting on it.

"What are you looking at!"

A team was coming and grabbed the note. After reading it, his face immediately changed.

"Revenge... They're here for revenge... To get back what they took."

The team was muttering to the endless team outside the city: "what did we... Provoke!"

……

……

When Fu Zhengnan knew about the note tied to the feather arrow, many soldiers had seen the note. A partisan general with a bloody note ran to find Fu Zhengnan. After seeing it, Fu Zhengnan's angry hands were shaking.

"Shameless!"

He threw away the note: "pass on my military order. Anyone who dares to talk about it privately will be punished immediately! Tell the soldiers that this is the enemy's separatist plan! Don't believe their words. If I hand over the people, I will open the gate. When the gate comes, they will kill them immediately!"

The local general wanted to persuade Fu Zhengnan to say a few words. He simply handed over the people and materials. He didn't dare to say it when he heard Fu Zhengnan yelling angrily. At the beginning, the people and property plundered by Murong yongduo's soldiers were indeed intercepted by Qingyuan City. Nanyan, especially the big cities to the north of Nanyan, is indeed sparsely populated. Although the taxes on the business road of Daping in the great Sui Dynasty are not light, they are much better than Nanyan. The people live a rich life.

Especially the businessmen walking in the big Sui Dynasty always describe how comfortable and rich the Sui people living on the Pingshang road or even farther away, so that a large number of Nanyan people secretly ran to the big Sui Dynasty. The border troops of the Sui Dynasty never stopped this kind of thing, and the officials in the southwest naturally wouldn't stop it. They all wanted more Nanyan people to escape.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer people in several big cities north of Nanyan.

Therefore, when Fu Zhengnan saw the people and things sent back by Murong yongduo, he was naturally jealous. There are nearly 20000 people in the city, all of whom are the people of the business road of the great Sui Dynasty.

He ordered that all the notes collected be burned and no one should talk about it. But such a thing could not be stopped at all. Soon, it was spread that the Sui people came to return the people and materials. Within a day, such rumors began to appear in the city. By the next day, the spread of the matter could be described as madness.

"The Sui army outside the city said that they would not kill as long as they handed over the Sui people and the plundered materials!"

"The city Lord still wants to keep those money and things at this time! It's nothing to take our lives!"

"I've heard that general Fang, the leader of the army, is a murderous devil. If the city Lord refuses him, I'm afraid we'll be doomed when the city is broken."

"I also heard that the man surnamed Fang said five murders... As long as we people don't go up the wall to help defend the city, we won't fight against us. If someone helps defend the city, we will be connected with nine families!"

"Live! Not Sui people!"

"Live! Not Sui people!"

At noon the next day, thousands of people gathered outside the city Lord's house and shouted. Fu Zhengnan didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly. He wanted to explain, but he knew he couldn't explain clearly. He knew better than anyone that as long as he opened the gate, the black flag army would rush in and take everything from him. He did not understand how this matter could spread so quickly. How could those people who are respectful to themselves have the courage to gather together to protest?

The Nanyan army blocked the streets outside the city Lord's residence, but the people still gathered in the distance and shouted. The soldiers looked at each other. In fact, they were also thinking, would they survive if they really returned those people and things? They couldn't help thinking of the five murders explained by Fang. Whoever carries weapons, kill! Many people subconsciously looked at the weapons in their hands and shivered.

"It's our turn!"

Success encouraged people to take to the streets to protest, and some faces hidden in the crowd showed smiles.

They are from Xiaoqi school. They have been waiting for opportunities.
