Hong Chengchou was fully prepared to attack the city this time.

He Jinchao's methods of defending the city were all prepared in advance.

"Captain, the army is coming in force this time, so we must not underestimate it."

Gao Yigong looked at the arrangement of the army and arranged the troops step by step. At the same time, many civilians came out in front of the army formation.

These people not only had to dig trenches, but also put the soil from the trenches into sacks and threw it into the moat to pave the way for the army to attack from behind.

These civilians don't even wear armor.

Of course, it would be better if their bodies could also be dumped in the moat.

Hong Chengchou was so cruel to people, and human life was worthless in his eyes.

Bu Zhanni watched the officers and soldiers driving the people to fill the moat, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The government and the army are still ruthless in employing people."

He thought his people would be cannon fodder and was also prepared.

Unexpectedly, the cannon fodder were the civilians who built camps, transported grain, and dug trenches.

These people are expendable in Hong Chengchou's eyes.

If there are no civil servants, we will have to recruit some by force.

Anyway, during the Shaanxi Civil War, who can tell whether the people here are the rural party members of the He Dynasty?

Since there is no way to identify them, let them do something loyal to the Ming Dynasty to prove their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

In Hong Chengchou's view, this move is a win-win situation!

Winter winter winter.

The war drums sounded.

The peasants charged forward with sacks on their backs. As long as they were able to survive by going back and forth, they could survive.

Who doesn’t want to live under the threat of the army?

He Jinchao stood on the city wall, looked at the "consumables" outside the city, and ordered:

"Tell people outside the city.

If anyone dares to step over that pillar with a sack on his back, don’t blame me for not caring about my hometown, I will kill him without mercy.”

"yes."

There were shouts from the city walls, threatening the civilians.

These days, whoever is weak will really have nothing to deal with.

Bu Zhanni also sighed with emotion: "He Jinchao is also a ruthless person, and he deserves to be the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Shaanxi uprising army."

Seeing his own people everywhere, Liu Minyue said, "Brother, do you think He can hold Ganquan County now?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so." Liu Minyue pointed to the officers and soldiers around him: "These dog officers and soldiers are chasing us and beating us. They are not easy to deal with."

"Don't talk about dog officers and soldiers anymore. Now you and I are officers and soldiers too." Bu Zhanni scolded.

"Understood, brother." Liu Minyue was speechless.

Zuo Guazi looked at Bu Zhanni and said, "Do you think He Jinchao can guard the sweet spring?"

"I think he can." Bu Zhanmu didn't hide his thoughts.

If he knew that He Jinchao was not dead, Gao Yingxiang would also be living happily in Shaanxi and growing bigger and bigger.

No matter what, I would never get on the pirate ship of Zuo Guazi!

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.

"Have you underestimated the combat power of the army and overestimated He Jinchao?"

As a rebel army that was often attacked by Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou first became famous in Shaanxi by stepping on Zuo Guazi's head.

He was really frightened by Hong Chengchou, so he chose to surrender to the army.

"Just take a look."

I don't want to argue on this matter.

When the horn of attack stopped, a large number of officers and soldiers used their swords and guns to drive the civilians carrying sacks towards the city wall.

Besieged on all sides.

The peasants rushed towards the moat of Ganquan County with sacks on their backs, hoping in their hearts that He Jinchao would not let go of arrows for the sake of the fellow villagers!

For people like civilian husbands who carry heavy loads and have no armor, archery is enough.

He Jinchao watched as this group of people ran with all their strength, or the workers behind them were stabbed to death by the officers and soldiers as a means of threat.

"Crossing the line?"

Hearing He Jinchao's inquiry, Gao Yigong nodded: "To the captain, they have crossed the line."

"Blow the whistle and prepare to fire arrows."

"yes."

Dudu's whistle sounded.

A sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the city wall.

The black clouds were thrown towards the city.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The arrow missed the ground or penetrated into the body of the civilian husband.

For a moment, it was like a huge wave crashing on the rocks.

Many civilians fell to the ground and began to moan.

More people were so frightened that they lay on the spot, curled up, and moved away.

There were also some cruel civilians who continued to rush forward carrying the sacks.

People who don't want their lives like this are naturally hit hard.

For a time, the battlefield was filled with the screams of civilians.

Can the army kill you?

I can't kill you?

What kind of fucking bullshit is this!

He Jinchao showed no mercy at all, he just wanted to tell them through blood that helping the army to deal with me would also lead to death.

Hong Chengchou, who was hiding in the crowd and watching the battle, shook his head.

Civil servants are simply unreliable.

But at least it caused some trouble for He Jinchao.

"This bunch of civilians are useless and careless. At first glance, they are He Jinchao's accomplices."

Liu Guangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi Province, gave this group of people a certain character.

Who makes it impossible for them to prove that they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Since there is no way to prove it, then they are rebels.

There is no doubt about this.

"It doesn't matter, at least use the lives of these people to consume the arrows of the defenders in the city."

Hong Chengchou didn't care at all whether these "disposable consumables" were alive or dead.

"I don't believe that He Jinchao has craftsmen in his hands."

Hong Chengchou didn't believe it, and He Jinchao would organize craftsmen to make the lost arrows.

Once the weapons used by soldiers are damaged, they must be repaired at any time.

This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for carelessness.

Besides, where did He Jinchao get his craftsmen from?

Hong Chengchou was unaware of the transaction between He Jinchao and He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia.

Because the fire gun hasn’t appeared yet!

He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, was speechless when he heard what Hong Chengchou said.

Where are you now?

Their trump card hasn’t been revealed yet!

Although the army was coming fiercely, except for the two top governors, they felt that this battle would be won.

Most of the remaining generals were not optimistic about this attack.
