"In this case, you all go to the top of the city and either kill the thieves to defend yourself against the enemy, or you will be killed by the thieves! Unless, you just want your relatives in Kaifeng to die!"
As soon as Huang Shu said his words, the scene suddenly became very quiet. Almost everyone was stunned.
The people in Kaifeng are all old and weak. When they go to the top of the city, under the light of swords and shadows, they are basically dead!
I have never heard of the old and the weak going to the top of the city to defend the city!
Seeing this scene, Huang Shu still shouted coldly: "The bandits are here just for you. They want to capture you alive to threaten the Kaifeng defenders. Seeing you guarding the city, if they attack the city, you will die. They
It’s a waste of time for you to come here. I think they will not dare to attack the city after seeing you on top of it.”
After a pause, he then added loudly: "If the bandits really attack the city and you die, it is better than arresting you and threatening Kaifeng and letting your family members in Kaifeng die, right? Your family members who stayed in Kaifeng are basically the same.
They are all young and strong. As long as they are here, the family will have hope of continuing. One day, they will be able to avenge you. But if they die, what if you survive? How long can you survive? "
After he finished speaking, there was still no sound.
It is true that when the old and weak people in Kaifeng left Kaifeng, they already knew that this separation was likely to be a life-or-death separation.
However, the court's order is not unreasonable. There are too many people staying in Kaifeng. Even if the city can be defended, will people eat people if the food is gone?
If Kaifeng can be saved and the family can survive, the future will not be cut off!
However, even though the truth is this, how many people can not hesitate when faced with the possibility that they are really going to die?
"I don't want to die..." A child couldn't help but cried first.
At the beginning, others started to cry.
When the people from Wei Hui who were watching saw this scene, they shouted and cursed loudly.
"You don't want to die, so do we want to die?"
"That is, if you come here to cause harm to us, do you have a good conscience?"
"Listen to your words, sir, and hurry to the top of the city. Maybe the bandits will not dare to attack the city and will retreat!"
"..."
After hearing these remarks, an old man among the people of Kaifeng approached Huang Shu and said with a little choked up: "Sir, can you let the common people go to the top of the city? These children..."
At this point, he pointed at the two children hiding behind him and said: "...forget it about them! If we are gone and Kaifeng can hold on, why don't we send them back to Kaifeng?"
Hearing this, many old men and women in Kaifeng around them nodded in agreement with heavy expressions.
Those people from Wei Hui didn't say anything after hearing this. They just looked at Huang Shu, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Most of them thought that since Huang Shu had protected these Kaifeng people before, they would probably agree.
However, Huang Shu had a cold face after hearing this, shook his head and said: "The thieves are not fools. There are only old people and no children at the top of the city. They will definitely attack the city and steal the children to threaten Kaifeng. They can do it as well.
"
The implication is that I disagree.
Although I felt that this was reasonable, looking at those children, the old men and women in Kaifeng still wanted to plead for mercy, but Huang Shu said coldly: "Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you really want to blame me, just blame me."
Blame the thieves outside the city! Blame it on..."
Having said this, he paused, sighed in his heart, and then said loudly: "...I blame you for living in troubled times!"
After finishing speaking, Huang Shu said no more and just ordered the people around him: "Let's arrange for them to go to the top of the city. I hope the bandits will see this and stop attacking the city!"
At this point, he raised his voice again and shouted sternly: "If the bandits retreat, then the people of Kaifeng will also have contributed to Wei Hui. If anyone dares to bully the people of Kaifeng again, I will not spare him!"
After saying that, he strode back to the city.
Everyone looked at his back, but no one spoke.
……………
The bandits outside the city were still preparing to attack the city after Yuan Zongdi's performance ended.
A group of leaders were observing what was happening on the top of the city.
"Military advisor, look at the movement on top of the city. They are really scared! Haha!"
"I feel that among the dog officials in the imperial court, only the Sun Dog officials and the few from Kaifeng are more powerful. The others are just losers!"
"No, so I think it will be easier to defeat this kind of city if the general doesn't open Kaifeng and leads the main force. We used to sweep those cities around Kaifeng, wasn't it easy!"
"..."
Listening to them talking, Song Xiance said: "It's because Kaifeng is not comparable to ordinary court officials. As long as we can capture Kaifeng, other cities will be defeated! This is what the general wants!"
"
In the original history, this was indeed the case. After the decisive battle in Kaifeng, the bandits became almost invincible. They entered Qin and established the Dashun Kingdom, and fought from west to east. There was almost no resistance from the city, that is, Zhou Yuji
They just resisted, and then the bandits went all the way to the capital.
At this time, after hearing Song Xiance's words, these bandit leaders all smelled Jiuding's aura, and they all became excited and shouted that they must conquer Kaifeng as soon as possible.
And to capture Kaifeng, the key to breaking the situation is right in front of them, to capture Wei Hui and capture the people of Kaifeng back.
With this thought in mind, they all geared up and prepared to attack the city again.
But who would have thought that just when they were about to disperse and attack the city, there was new movement on the top of the city, which they saw inexplicably.
"What's going on? Why are there so many old and weak people, as well as women and children, on the city wall? What are you trying to do?"
"Could it be that there are no soldiers in the city? But this is impossible. No matter what, we won't let the old, weak, women and children go to the top of the city!"
"What the hell, I just took the opportunity to send elite troops to rush to the top of the city and capture Wei Hui!"
"..."
Listening to them talking, Song Xiance was a little dumbfounded and said: "Those old and weak people on the city wall are...the old and weak from Kaifeng! The dog officer actually threatened us with the old and weak in Kaifeng!"
After hearing his words, all the bandit leaders came back to their senses. After understanding what Song Xiance said, they were all dumbfounded.
They have always used the old and the weak to threaten others and drove them to attack the city. They have never seen the imperial officers and soldiers using the old and the weak to threaten them.
As a result, this time, it turned out that there was a ghost. The people in Weihui City were all old and weak, and they came to threaten them to attack the city.
The most important thing is that these old and weak people are not their family members, but the officials and soldiers of the imperial court!
Threatening them with their own old age and weakness is just like a joke!
However, when Song Xiance and others saw this phenomenon, they were all stunned. What should they do now?
To be honest, they were really threatened!
The reason why they crossed the Yellow River north, pursued them all the way to Weihui, and even made great efforts to attack the city, wasn't it because of the old and weak people on top of the city?
And the most important point is that they must capture these old and weak people alive, at least most of them, so that they can go back and make a deal with Li Zi.
However, now that Wei Huicheng is threatened by the old and the weak, how can we fight this battle?
"It's his grandma's, what should I do now?"
"Yes, I have lived for so long and I have never seen such a strange thing!"
"His ancestors have a kind of one-on-one fight. What's the point of pushing out the old and the weak?"
"..."
After scolding each other, in the end, they still had no idea, so they had no choice but to turn to look at Song Xiance to see if he had any idea.
Song Xiance's face was also ugly, and he said to the general Liu Zongmin: "It seems that the people in the city have calculated our weakness, so they did this. Either we take the opportunity to attack the city and have a chance to capture the city, but we cannot capture Kaifeng alive.
We are old and weak; or we can just forget it, we can’t capture Kaifeng’s old and weak people alive, and even if we capture Wei Hui, it will still be difficult for us to explain to the general, and we may lose even more troops."
After all, he is just a military advisor, and the final decision lies with the general.
After listening to his words, Liu Zongmin understood that if he didn't crack this trick, he would keep using it on the city walls.
So just go back like this?
Thinking of this problem, Liu Zongmin had a look of reluctance. Looking at the old and weak people on the top of the city, his eyes flashed coldly and he shouted sternly: "Damn it, I can never be manipulated like this by those dog officials. Taking advantage of the city
There are many old and weak people at the head, and the defense is not good. We must assemble the best of the army and help me attack the city in one go. Bloodbath Wei Hui!"
This battle was too frustrating and he wanted to vent.
After hearing his decision, Song Xiance did not object, but said: "In that case, let's pretend we won't fight, make preparations secretly, and then take advantage of the city's relaxation to attack the city in one go!"
After hearing this, the bandit leaders agreed one after another and made preparations.
On top of Wei Huicheng, the bandits outside the city seemed to be really stumped and seemed to be about to retreat. Everyone was nervous but also happy.
Not to mention the old and weak people in Kaifeng who cried with joy because they didn't have to die, even the Wei Hui defenders, officials, and even Huang Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the bandits can retreat, that would be the best thing!
No, the bandits outside the city are already breaking down the camp tents.
So, a group of people gathered around Huang Shu and began to flatter him, saying that his move was as good as Zhuge Wuhou's empty city strategy.
While they were talking, suddenly, without any shouts of killing, the bandit army outside the city silently charged towards Wei Hui.
Moreover, this charge involved multiple people attacking at once, and the intensity of the attack was far greater than any previous one.
When Huang Shu saw this and saw the situation on the top of the city, he was frightened out of his wits and shouted loudly to prepare for war.
However, the defenders on the city wall, old and weak, were all slack, and for a while, they made adjustments.
Wei Hui Mansion is about to be lost.
But at this moment, dozens of riders suddenly came galloping from the north, heading straight for the banner of the bandit army.
