Chapter 54 Moral decline is still a distortion of human nature
Of course, Huang Zhong also saw this dilemma.
If the soldiers in the city were ordered to attack, it would consume the equipment that defended the city, and the people of Rang County were all the people. Huang Zhong really couldn't bear it.
But if these people were allowed to go to the city, as long as they hid in the city gate, they kept digging out the things blocked in the city gate.
This northern city gate will sooner or later be captured by the Xiliang soldiers, and the people in the city will have no way to survive at that time.
Huang Zhong gritted his teeth in hatred, but he did not dare to make a hasty decision.
Wei Yan said recklessly, "County Master, if you are not convenient for orders, please let me come. These people are willing to be instructed by the thief, and they are all rebels."
Huang Zhong was displeased when he heard this.
Just as he was about to scold Wei Yan, he suddenly saw a scene in the city and couldn't help but be stunned, "What are they doing?"
Wei Yan also followed and looked into the city.
Pan Jun instructed many yamen runners and drove away many people and came to the north city.
Huang Zhong's face suddenly became gloomy and he said sternly, "Is it Zhuge Liang's method to drive away the people in the city and consume them?"
Even after hearing this, Wei Yan was not moved.
If Zhuge Liang really did this, then this kid's heart would be cruel enough.
The two were anxious. The people outside the city had been driven over by the Xiliang soldiers, and some Xiliang soldiers were also mingling in the middle, trying to take the opportunity to rush to the city.
Wei Yan was a decisive person and asked again, "County Master, do you want to kill me!"
Huang Zhong looked at the ragged people, and even though he couldn't bear it, he still raised his hand with difficulty and smashed it hard!
Wei Yan received Huang Zhong's order and shouted loudly to the guards on the city, "Shoot the arrow!"
The guards were a little nervous when they heard this.
Among them, in addition to Huang Zhong's small number of veterans, there are also a large number of strong men recruited from the city.
These people were just ordinary people a few days ago, but now they are going to take the blame on people like them!
Seeing the soldiers hesitated, Wei Yan immediately turned his face and waved the long sword in his hand and threatened, "If you don't kill them, your own wives, children, and young people will die! You all have figured it out!"
The soldiers had no choice but to shoot at the people outside the city with unbearable bows and arrows.
The people outside the city did not expect that there would be a disaster from the sky. They cried and wanted to scatter.
However, the Xiliang soldiers were blocking the range of the bow and arrow and forcing them to move forward.
The people looked around in a hurry and realized.
Compared with the city where arrows are flying, the hidden city gate suddenly became the safest place.
Under the leadership of a small number of Xiliang soldiers, the people almost used their energy to rush into the city gate.
Seeing that the method was useful, Hu Cheer drove some people away and continued to move forward.
When Wei Yan saw someone entering the city gate, he scolded his subordinates more and more and more to fire arrows.
He was hesitating whether to smash it with a rolling stone and closed the city gate from outside, when he heard Huang Zhong shouting, "Let's wait!"
Wei Yan hurriedly looked at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's hand trembled and pointed to the city, "Look at Wen Chang!"
Wei Yan took a few steps and reached the side close to the inner city.
Just a glance, Wei Yan was stunned.
Just as Zhuge Liang's command, some people driven from the people were desperately digging the soil with Pan Junfa's iron pickaxe.
Others used shovel trucks to transport them to the city gate.
The people on both sides traveled and followed the white lines drawn on the ground, and the movements were extremely smooth.
With a lot of manpower investment and within a short while, Zhuge Liang actually piled up a mountain of earth close to the north city.
Wei Yan said in a daze, "He is..."
Huang Zhong seemed to have figured out something and sighed, "I finally understand what the benefits he didn't say before are."
Seeing Wei Yan wondering, Huang Zhong sighed.
"Since the Xiliang soldiers have broken through the North City Gate, the North City Gate has become our weakest link. The Xiliang soldiers will definitely concentrate all their energy to open the North City Gate. If they want to dig the North Gate, they must first rush into the city gate under our attack, and then dig in the city gate hole."
"However, we have huge terrain advantages and population advantages. At most, more than a dozen people can be excavated in the city gate, but we can organize hundreds of people behind the city to continue to pile up soil to block their excavation."
Huang Zhongzheng said this.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers came from the city, and the Xiliang soldiers who were originally cruising outside rushed towards the city gate.
Huang Zhong was stunned and said in disbelief, "Has it been opened?"
He quickly looked at the inner city and saw a piece of earth suddenly sinking in the middle of the pile of earth, and then there was no change.
However, a large amount of dust immediately spewed out of the city gate. The Xiliang soldiers who were charging forward were caught off guard and were caught in the eyes, coughing and choking, tearing and communicating.
Seeing the opportunity, Wei Yan shouted, "Shoot the arrows quickly, shoot the arrows quickly!"
The guards on the city then reacted and shot the Xiliang soldiers who rushed over and turned over.
Huang Zhong only understood what was going on.
It turned out that Xiliang soldiers were mixed with the people and rushed into the city gate.
When the people dug up the soft soil, the Xiliang soldiers mistakenly thought they were about to be opened and hurriedly urged the cavalry outside to assault.
Unexpectedly, the city gate was opened, but it was dug into the earthy mountain piled up by Zhuge Liang.
The soil mountain was already soft and collapsed after digging for a few seconds. The scattered soil was poured into the city gate, leaving all their previous efforts was wasted.
Huang Zhong shared his discoveries with Wei Yan.
Wei Yan's eyes shone in his eyes, "The pile of earthy mountains is so soft and will collapse downwards. Isn't this saying..."
Soon, Wei Yan came to a conclusion that he felt incredible.
——"Unless the Xiliang soldiers have to dig up the entire earth mountain, they can rush into the city?"
Huang Zhong nodded with a distressed look on his face.
This is such a crazy idea that you can only come up with!
The city gate can only accommodate dozens of people to dig at the same time, but there are hundreds or thousands of people in the city who are piled up soil!
How can I finish this in my life?!
Huang Zhong really wanted to call Zhuge Liang over and ask.
He could have thought of such a cheap move, whether it was due to the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature!
The Xiliang soldiers outside didn't care about so many of them. They took advantage of the chaos under the city. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, they rushed up and risked their lives to rush into the city gate.
They picked up the shovels abandoned by the fleeing people and continued to dig them wildly.
After digging for a few times, the soldiers of Xiliang became excited!
It's all loose!
This one is digging fast!
Huang Zhong looked at the energetic Xiliang soldiers.
Look at the pile of earthen mountains and sitting on the ground, talking and laughing, thousands of people resting.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan inexplicably developed a strange relationship.
That kind of feeling is called mercy...
