PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Sun En waved his fly whisk, and in the dense military formation in front of him, gaps were opened between each team. A flood of civilians, dressed in tatters, who looked like beggars, were like wolves. Tiger's disciples of Tianshi Dao were driven forward by beating and kicking them, like herds of cattle and sheep, through the wide-open gates of each camp and through the army of more than 10,000 Tianshi Dao sergeants in front. When the formation came to the front, it was dark, like a tide, with cries and wailings resounding throughout the world. In less than half an hour, at least more than 10,000 people, mostly old people, rushed to the front of the formation. Weak women and children, and less than twenty steps behind them, was the military formation of Tianshi Dao. Two thousand archers armed with bows, arrows and crossbows lined up in front of the formation, all with arrows on strings, pointing directly at these people. 's back.

Yuan Song saw his eyes turned red and roared angrily: "Sun En, you shameless villain, besides bullying the people, what else can you do? If you have the ability, attack the city in an upright manner. What are you going to do?!"

Sun En said coldly: "These ignorant and stupid people are possessed by evil spirits and are enemies of the divine religion. Even if they die a hundred times, they will never be able to atone for their sins. These days, the divine religion has been admonishing them more. Now give them a chance to become a member of the divine religion." Charge forward and capture the city of Hudu. If you have gods and masters in your heart, you will be invulnerable and immortal. After this calamity, you will surely become a god. If you are not sincere in your heart, you will be killed by swords. Atonement!”

The Celestial Masters and Taoists chanted: "A sincere heart will make you spiritual, and you will be invulnerable to weapons and bullets. A sincere heart will make you spiritual, and you will be invulnerable to weapons and bullets!"

The archers of the front army made a sound of pulling strings one after another, which frightened the common people and quickly started to move forward. Behind them, tens of thousands of troops from the Tianshi Taoist Army carried ladders and large bows. He followed the people closely, always keeping a distance of about twenty steps, and pressed towards the Hudu Fortress.

Yuan Song anxiously walked around the city, staring at Wei Shunzhi who was silent, and said: "Master Wei, what can we do? These are the common people of the Jin Dynasty, and they are all the governor of the Jin Dynasty." You are incompetent and let them stay outside the city, so they will be captured by the demon thieves. Now, what should you do now? Have you encountered this kind of situation before? "

Wei Shunzhi said thoughtfully: "When he faced Murong Yong's attack in Luoyang City, he, like Sun En today, drove the people in Mang Mountain to attack our city."

Yuan Song's eyes lit up: "Then how did you resolve it later? Was Liu Canjun defending the city at that time?"

Wei Shunzhi nodded: "Yes, Brother Jinu led us to guard Luoyang Jinyong City. It was also a fortress like this. We attacked from the tunnels, including breaking out from the overturned wall of the city wall, passing over the people and attacking directly behind them. The sergeants who monitored them killed them and dispersed them, and rescued thousands of people in front of them and entered the city."

"However, at that time, the thieves also mixed in a lot of enemy troops among the people, and almost injured many of our soldiers. There were also spies among them. After entering the city, they screened them for a long time, but they still couldn't escape. The next day, a woman almost died The assassin assassinated Lu Xun."

Yuan Song was surprised and said: "Lu Xun? The second leader of the demon thief?"

Wei Shunzhi said sternly: "Yes, the Celestial Master Dao was a friendly force and defended the city with us back then. Of course, they were trying to win over the hearts and minds of the followers in the Central Plains, and they didn't know those Celestial Master Dao who had defended the city together. Everyone, how many of them have become monsters and thieves attacking the city? It’s really fate that plays tricks on people.”

Yuan Song gritted his teeth: "But, but there is no tunnel now, how can we attack?"

Wei Shunzhi said in a deep voice: "Lu Xun may have also used Murong Yong's tactics back then. Among the more than 10,000 people, there are probably many monsters and thieves among them. We should not think about rescuing them. The war is dangerous. , You must not be merciful at this time, whether it is the common people or the sergeants of demon thieves, as long as they approach the city wall, shoot them all, no mercy!"

Yuan Song opened his eyes wide: "What? You want me to kill people? No, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Wei Shunzhi said loudly: "Prefect Yuan, these people you are talking about are the men and horses driven by the demon thieves to attack the city. They are no different from the demon thieves. They will also rush to our city walls and attack our city gates. The demon thieves will also attack our city gates." They can do the same thing as thieves attack soldiers and horses. At this time, they can no longer be regarded as common people."

Yuan Song gritted his teeth: "Then, if we shoot arrows at the demon thieves behind us instead of hitting the people, is that okay?"

Wei Shunzhi said in a deep voice: "I have said that there is a high possibility that there are monsters and thieves among these people. It is impossible to guard against them. Once they are allowed to approach the city wall, it will be very dangerous. Mr. Yuan, this is a life-and-death war. We must not use the usual methods again." Treat it with love for the people!"

Yuan Song gritted his teeth and said to Chen Yi who was on the side: "Guard Chen, how far can our flying rocks and crossbows shoot? How far can the bows and arrows on the top of the city shoot?"

Chen Yi said: "The stone can be thrown three hundred steps, the crossbow can be fired two hundred steps, and the bow and arrow at the top of the city should be able to shoot fifty steps away."

Yuan Song nodded: "This far is enough. The demon thieves are twenty steps away from the people. We can kill the demon thieves without killing the people. Lord Wei, we only fight the demon thieves. As for the people, we will give them a There is a way to survive so that they can escape on their own. There is a mountain forest in the south of the city. If the people escape there, there may be a way to survive. What do you think?"

Wei Shunzhi stamped his feet: "Mr. Yuan, how could you let these 20,000 people run out? They must be desperately trying to attack the city gate. Once they get close to the city gate, everything will be in danger!"

Yuan Song pointed to the suspension bridge: "Isn't there a suspension bridge here? Is there a city protection ditch? How can they approach the city wall so easily? Send an order. After the enemy enters the city wall three hundred steps, they will smash the monsters and thieves behind. I will If you don’t believe it, they can really fight to the death!”

Chen Yi said loudly: "I have the order!" He turned around and gave the order to the messenger behind him. Following his order, the people on the city wall either rose from the ground, or pushed out from the gate tower, or uncovered their clothes. More than ten trebuchets were camouflaged and pushed out. On the inside of the city wall, more than ten trebuchets were also dragged out from their respective bunkers. The operating sergeants began to hurriedly load the crossbows and stones.

Wei Shunzhi sighed, shook his head, picked up an iron trumpet, and shouted to the people below the city: "Listen, people outside the city, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. Anyone who approaches the city wall will be shot by the enemy and run for their lives."

Go!" He said, picked up his big bow, and shot an arrow outward. It landed just in front of the city moat a hundred steps away. This action allowed everyone to see clearly.

.

There was a commotion among the people. More than two hundred people in the rear group turned around and wanted to escape to the rear. However, a burst of bowstrings sounded. The Tianshi Dao archers in the rear fired a burst of bows and arrows. More than a hundred people

They immediately fell into a pool of blood, and the rest were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks, only to hear Sun En's roar echoing in front of the formation: "Those who retreat will be killed on the spot, those who advance will be sincerely promoted to immortals, kill them!"
