The river surface was shining with shimmering waves under the sunlight, and the simple small pier was busy. More than a dozen small boats set off one by one. The young young man in his twenties sat on the boat. They were all naked, revealing the dark and strong muscles on the front and back of their chests.

The Dongwu sneak attack team set off again.

Although the Red Eyebrow Army did not launch an attack early in the morning, Cai Xing was still facing a great enemy and sent a team of 200 people to cruise.

The boat slipped along the narrow river channel, and the boat swept through the water plants on both sides, making a slick sound. The people on the boat held their breath and looked like the tense atmosphere of a great enemy.

No wonder they were nervous. When they came out yesterday, they encountered a cavalry raid and several were hacked to death. It seems that the enemy has strengthened the inspection of the river bank, and their sneak attacks will become increasingly difficult.

This is a tributary of the Wei River, with narrow twists and turns, and from time to time, breaking into another waterway. If it weren't for the locals, it would be difficult to find the right path.

After turning a bend, the boat rushed out of the narrow river channel and came to the wide surface of the Wei River. The eyes suddenly became clear.

The boat turned west, preparing to find a hidden river bank to moor. Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, there is a big boat!"

Two large ships were walking downstream, facing the small boat that was upstream. In the blink of an eye, they arrived near. The ship was full of people, full of soldiers holding crossbows.

"It's Shiliwu's ship! Turn around and go back!"

The soldiers on the ship shouted in unison: "The moving ones shoot and kill them! Those who surrender are exempt from death!"

Several small boats saw the plane faster and turned the bow and rowed back, but it attracted a rain of arrows. There was nowhere to hide on the boat. At once, more than a dozen people were caught in the arrows and screamed in terrible voices. Some even jumped directly into the water, and were shot by crossbow arrows, killing and injuring several people.

The rest of the people did not dare to move anymore, and more than a dozen boats were crowded together and surrendered obediently.

Only two ships moved slowly, far behind. When they saw this, they crawled back into the narrow waterway and fled back to Dongwu.

Cai Xing felt a little distressed when he lost more than a dozen boats and more than one hundred people were captured. However, Mr. Tian said: "The river channel is narrow and the big ship cannot enter. You just need to block the entrance of the water channel and the dock door is closed, so those people will not be able to overcome it."

Cai Xing nodded. Mr. Tian was right. There was a lot of food and grass in the dock, enough for them to guard for a year and a half. As long as they closed the two gates of water and land, they could only climb the city wall if they wanted to come in. But the enemy had been crawling for three days and wasn’t there any help?

Zhang Ding has been destroyed, and the Red Eyebrow Army will not be stationed forever. This Shiliwu will be his country in Cai Xing.

The more Cai Xing thought about it, the more he felt reasonable, and his mood gradually improved, and he was even a little confident, until a dock soldier came to report: "The master of the dock, it seems that reinforcements are coming again."

Cai Xing was shocked and hurried to the dock wall. He looked over from a distance and saw dust flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the flags were thriving. A group of people headed towards Shiliwu.

He was a little scared and hurriedly asked Mr. Tian for advice. Mr. Tian said, "A few days ago, the Red Eyebrows attacked the city, can we see what flags they have?" Cai Xing shook his head.

Mr. Tian said: "The Red Eyebrow thieves have never set up flags and drums. The highest position in the army is the three elders. The second is to engage in the history of the soldiers. The soldiers are called giants. When fighting, the soldiers look at the history of the soldiers, the soldiers look at the history of the soldiers, and the three elders work. The orders are all word-of-mouths, and those who are generals take the battle personally and lead the soldiers. Today's soldiers are spreading flags. Can you tell me why?" Cai Xing shook his head.

Mr. Tian said: "This is because the little emperor pretended to be a suspicious soldier, bluffing, and the people in the turmoil are in the hearts of the people!"

Cai Xing had just put down his snacks, and someone said next to him: "The Yulin Army that occupied Shiliwu has a flag. Could it be that another Yulin Army came?"

Unexpectedly, Cai Xing suddenly became angry and shouted, "Nothing is said! I dare to disrupt our morale and kill you!" The soldiers were so scared that they hurriedly retreated and never dared to speak again.

On this day, teams continued to arrive nearby. Except for the first team who went to Shiliwu, the subsequent teams camped opposite Dongwu, with one battalion connected to another, and several large camps were established.

The soldiers were still laughing when they saw the first reinforcements coming, but when they saw the second team coming, they felt a little guilty. When several teams of people arrived, the panic atmosphere had spread among the soldiers.

By night, Dongwu was surrounded by camps on all sides, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even the side facing the water was blocked by two large ships. Although they could not get in, it was difficult for the small boat to get out.

The drums outside the city sounded several times that night, each time it shook the earth, as if thousands of troops were sieging the city. When Cai Xing led his men to the dock wall, he found a team of enemy soldiers passing by the city, but did not attack the city.

This repeated several times, causing the entire Dongwu to rest. Cai Xing almost didn't sleep all night and was exhausted.

The next morning, a man came under the wall of the dock and shot a silk book with arrows. Most of the dock soldiers were illiterate and could not understand what was written on it. But it didn't matter. Those people were chanting with their necks below, and they could hear a few words clearly, "Is it the king's land under the sky?" "Is it overestimating my own abilities" "How dare I fight against the great Han soldiers", "A hundred thousand troops arrive, they will all be powdered" and so on. There are a few sentences that should be highlighted later. Everyone understands it, which means that tomorrow night is the deadline, and surrender before tomorrow night can protect the lives of the dock, otherwise when the army breaks through the dock, no chicken or dog will be left behind.

Listening to the words "On the day of breaking the dock, no chickens and dogs will stay", the people in the dock were a little frightened.

Someone had already sent the silk book to Cai Xing. When Cai Xing looked at it, he was shocked and angry. Mr. Tian said, "Please give me hundreds of elite soldiers to go to the camp tonight, and then we will see the matter."

Cai Xing waved his hand and said, "The thief threatens to intimidate everyone. We are enough to keep ourselves in the dock. How can we let the gentleman take risks in person? Let's discuss this matter later."

Although Mr. Tian took the initiative to lead troops to face the enemy many times, Cai Xing was a little worried and only let him follow him to plan and command the dock, and did not dare to let him take on the heavy responsibility alone.

The content of the silk book was passed down by word of mouth in the dock, and panic continued to spread. The eight words "On the day of breaking the dock, no chicken or dog will stay" hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. If the surrender before tomorrow night can save the life of Wu, everyone was suspicious and dared not believe it easily. Because the reputation of the Red Eyebrow Army was so bad, everywhere they went, they were broken. Once the dock door was opened, the Wu people could not decide on it themselves.

Just when the Wu people were restless, hundreds of people came to the Wu people and several silk books were shot, but the content was not for Cai Xing, but for all the villagers in Dongwu. The villagers were illiterate? It doesn’t matter, His Majesty the Emperor thoughtfully arranged people to help the villagers read their faith.

The words are relatively simple, which roughly means that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty knew that you were all bewitched by Cai Xing and were forced to fight against the Han Heavenly Warriors. His Majesty the Emperor loved the people as much as his son. When he was in Zheng County, he could not bear to see the people had no food and opened a warehouse to provide relief. The people were grateful. Now he saw that the people in Dongwu were hostage, and he felt very regretful. Therefore, he opened a sideline and only punished the evil and the stubborn. If the villagers were willing to put down their weapons and surrender to the Han Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor would forgive your sins and protect your homeland, so that you should eat and farm, and then return to the rule of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, when the Han Heavenly Warriors broke through the dock, they would be killed.

Hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Those who violate the conflict will be killed, and those who surrender will be exempted from death!"

There was no way. At that time, there was no microphone, and the advertisement was only yelling. These people walked around Dongwu, shouting, "Dissues will be killed, and those who surrender will not die!" The guards were so panicked that they had no desire to unite to protect Wuwu a few days ago.

What makes everyone even more unwarranted is that these people who come to persuade surrender are their old acquaintances, either the newly reorganized "Shili Army", or the young and strong Dongwu who have been captured these days.

A young man pulled his neck and howled, "Friends, don't be confused. Why do you work so hard? Put down the knife in your hand, Your Majesty will not make things difficult for us! Yesterday, Your Majesty also gave me beef, wu-wu-I'm the first time I've eaten beef for such a long time. It's so delicious, so delicious!"

Unexpectedly, the few people behind him cursed angrily: "I'm so embarrassed to say! There were a total of one basin of meat, and you snatched half of it! I just fucked two pieces!" "Why did you say you snatched two pieces, I drank a bowl of soup!"

A young man on the dock wall said disdainfully: "These people are so cheap, they are bribed by a few pieces of meat!"

But someone next to him licked his lips and muttered, "I want to eat beef too."

On this day, the young and strong man in the Wu were all in the ears of the eight words "Punishers will be killed, and those who surrender will be exempted from death." Even if no one shouted it, this sentence still remained stubbornly in his mind and came out to harass him from time to time.

These psychological offensives are blatant conspiracies, and secret conspiracies must not be missed.

The part of the Wu soldiers captured yesterday has been released, and some have even returned home secretly. Their words confirmed the shouting outside the city. His Majesty the Emperor treated the prisoners with preferential treatment. The prisoners in Shiliwu have been reorganized and their lives are more comfortable than before. The prisoners in Dongwu have not been abused, and even ate beef with the army.

A son of the Sect Master of the Cai family, a small sect, sneaked back into the dock through the waterway, conveying the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor. If anyone can kill Cai Xing and surrender, he can replace his current status and become the leader of the Cai family's new clan.

The leader of the little sect scolded his son for his nonsense, turned around and went to visit other sects, and asked around for trouble.

On that day, undercurrents surged in the East Dock, and all kinds of rumors floated on the dust, and the air was filled with uneasiness.

There is a rumor that His Majesty the Emperor heard that Zhang Dingyu had meat from the villagers, killed people and robbed people, and came to suppress the thieves and protect the country and the people, and never thought of slaughtering Dongwu. On the contrary, in recent days, His Majesty has comforted the villagers and helped the poor, and the nearby villages have already felt the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor of Han.

Unexpectedly, Dongwu was killed by himself and attacked the Han army at night, which attracted the Han army to attack the city. His Majesty the Emperor was furious and summoned the army from all directions to break Dongwu. However, His Majesty did not want to kill too much, and still gave the people of Dongwuwu a chance. Before the Han army attacked the city, as long as he was willing to surrender, His Majesty the Emperor would protect Dongwu without being killed.

With only one day left before the siege, the people of the Wushu had already started a secret debate. Is it a war? It is surrender? Each holds one end. Unconsciously, the original hatred of the enemy has long disappeared.

However, after two days of work, Cai Xing felt completely different. Although everyone was still respectful to him on the surface, the eyes of him were dodging, as if he had any thoughts in his heart that he was afraid that he would see through it.

The drums sounded again that night, and no one could sleep. The lights in the camp outside seemed to the eyes of countless audiences, making everyone on the stage enter the play.

This kind of mental torture is more unbearable than a fight with real swords and guns. Cai Xing opened his eyes wide and waited until dawn. He could not understand why Wumin, who was brave and determined to persevere two days ago, suddenly changed, became timid and worried about gains and losses.

This is the power of psychological warfare.

Originally, the people of Wu were persevering because there was no way out. The Red Eyebrow Army wanted to destroy their land, kill their relatives, and everyone wanted to defend their homes and strive to survive. Now His Majesty the Emperor has given them a way out. As long as everyone surrenders, everything can be preserved. There is no need to fight, no need to die, no need to use a knife or a gun.

Just nodding and you will get what they have been fighting for with their blood and sweat, so why do they still have to fight for their lives?
