The sharp whistle is still ringing, just like a passionate licking dog that never gets a response [Are you there? 】.
Zheng Yuanwang was wearing armor and sitting on the horse, holding the reins with both hands and frowning, "What's going on with Zou Jirong?"
Tian Si said: "My lord, he just responded with a whistle. Maybe he wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, so he needs to wait for a while. Let's just wait for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blaze of torches suddenly lit up neatly on the top of the city, illuminating the faces of the Zheng family and his son, as well as the thousand soldiers hiding in the darkness and waiting behind them.
"Who is coming!"
Jin Jiancheng shouted loudly and forcibly pulled out the conspiracy that was trying to hide in the night.
Zheng Yuanwang was obviously taken aback by this unexpected situation and was silent for a moment.
Jin Jiancheng sneered, "You dare to lead troops to attack, but you don't dare to say a word. If you are so cowardly, you will start a ridiculous rebellion. Go home and hold a woman to make a baby!"
On the city wall, Sergeant Wudang laughed loudly, causing a commotion among the Zheng family members below.
Tian Si quickly reminded in a low voice: "Sir."
Zheng Yuanwang came back to his senses, composed himself, and said loudly: "General Jin, I learned that the guards in Jiang'an City were empty, and I was worried about the safety of Concubine De, so I led a thousand soldiers from the county to come to support."
Jin Jiancheng took a sip, not missing any opportunity to undermine the opponent's morale, "It's already here, and you're still there and dare not admit it. People like you still want to rebel. It's really embarrassing for the rebels! "
After speaking, he waved his hand, and a sergeant on the side picked up a cloth bag and threw it in the direction of the Zheng family and his son, but the distance was too far and it only landed halfway.
"This Jiang'an county lieutenant tried to open the city gate secretly, but we intercepted him and killed him. Governor Zheng, do you recognize him?"
After speaking, there was another burst of proud and arrogant laughter on the city wall.
They are all veterans of many battles. It would be unrealistic to say that every one of them has strategizing and clever calculations, but when it comes to all kinds of tricks and tricks in the face of battle, they are all at their fingertips.
The morale of the Zheng family's army, which was originally complacent and thought to be calculated by calculation but not by intention, was instantly hit the bottom by these consecutive operations. There were whispers and a commotion in the military formation.
But after all, Zheng Yuanwang was cunning and had planned for a long time, and now there was no way out, so he quickly reacted, suppressed the shock and consternation in his heart, and forced himself to calm down, "Which brave man, pick up that head for me?" Come."
Tian Si turned around and ordered two men. One was holding a shield and the other was leaning on his waist. They went over to pick up the cloth bag and quickly retreated.
Zheng Yuanwang suppressed his nausea and opened the cloth bag, and it turned out to be Zou Jirong's dead head.
He shouted angrily, "Everyone, this is my confidant, the current Jiang'an County Lieutenant Zou Jirong. As long as he reports on us, he will have the glory and wealth at his fingertips. However, under the strict defense of Wudang Army, he resolutely wants to overthrow During the tyranny of Daxia, we chose our ideals, our agreement, and finally sacrificed our lives! How brave and determined this is!"
"If the great cause is accomplished, I will raise a wife, serve her parents, and protect her children and grandchildren. Anyone who dies in the future will follow this example!"
He turned to look at the sergeants beside him, "Everyone, the first victim of our great cause has appeared. You and I will follow!"
Tian Si raised his arms and shouted, "I am willing to follow you!"
The soldiers behind him were infected one after another and roared: "I am willing to follow you, sir!"
After all, the old fox is an old fox. After some eloquent talk, morale quickly returned to normal.
But he knew very well that just talking about it was empty after all. To really boost morale, there must be real benefits.
So he turned to look at Tian Si, "Go and ask the young master to bring someone up."
On top of the city, the sergeants of the Wudang Army who were waiting in full formation thought that after the roar just now, the rebels would take the opportunity to attack the city, but they did not expect that they would stop again.
Immediately, everyone on the city wall widened their eyes.
I saw the rebel troops spreading out to both sides. A team of no less than a thousand people was driving forward and filled the gap between the rebel formation and the city wall.
Although this group of people is obviously not as good as the real rebels, they are in rags, and only about a hundred of them have sharp weapons such as knives and guns in their hands. The rest are holding sticks and shovels at most. They look like a ragtag group. But doubling the number of people brought obvious psychological pressure to the defenders and confidence to the attackers.
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.
Although it was only two thousand, it still filled less than half of the small empty space in the north of Jiang'an City.
Jin Jiancheng's expression was solemn. Sure enough, as Mr. Xia said, the Zheng family father and son will
Zheng Tianyu, the former No. 1 son of Sishui Prefecture, stepped forward on horseback, pointed at the city wall, and said loudly: "Brothers, Jiang'an City is right in front of you! You have worked so hard in the past two months, with no food to eat, and no clothes to cover your body. , but those powerful people are holding their beautiful wives and concubines inside, eating fish and meat, singing and drinking. Why!"
The eyes of the originally numb and frightened workers gradually lit up with flames, a light of anger.
"When an emperor's concubine comes, they build a high platform and embroider ribbons. We can't even afford food! Do they care? They don't care. They just want to enjoy it. The platform needs to be high and the ribbons need flowers. It's not easy for us to use it. We have to use our flesh and blood to whitewash their peace and beauty with our accumulated family fortune! Why!"
"Aren't our lives our lives?"
The workers all raised their heads, and in their sunken eye sockets, anger brewed into hatred, shining with a gnawing light.
"Although we are ants, we are not willing to die silently. Although we are grasshoppers, we cannot let them step on our heads like this!"
"Death is on either side. Tonight, we are going to let them see what it means to be angry!"
"Brothers, with swords and guns in hand, rush into the city and pull down those powerful people! Let them understand that our lives are also our lives!"
Zheng Tianyu was worthy of being a man of both civil and military skills. He was the number one son of Sishui Prefecture who had conquered all the celebrities in the prefecture. The slogans he chanted were extremely inflammatory, which soon made the workers' eyes turn red with blood and howl. It also frightened the guards on the city wall to look pale. white.
As noncommissioned officers, they were not afraid, but seeing the people in front of them quickly irritating these originally incompetent stragglers with just a few words, it was obvious that the pressure on them was much greater.
And if you try to stop them by relying on this low city wall, which is less than two stories high, I'm afraid many brothers will die.
A sergeant of the Wudang Army silently tightened the spear in his hand and spat, "Damn it, do these people hate the imperial court so much? Just believe whatever others say!"
The comrades beside him also looked solemn, "Yes, anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that they were sent to die to clear the way, but they still believe it!"
"It's a pity that Young Master is not here, otherwise we would have been able to convince these people and prevent them from succeeding!"
"It's a pity that the young master is not here!"
"It's useless to think too much, the only solution is to fight to the death."
"Fight to the death!"
...
In contrast to the solemnity on the city wall, behind the laborers and in the rebel formation, there was a sense of relaxed excitement, and morale soared.
With these hundreds of workers working hard to clear the way, their attack on the city will be much smoother!
Tian Si looked at this scene and said with admiration: "Your Excellency, what a clever plan!"
Zheng Yuanwang twirled his beard and smiled proudly, "I have been laying out this plan for a long time. Each of these workers has suffered huge grievances, their families have been destroyed, and they have been oppressed in the labor camps. They have brewed up boundless grief and indignation. With a little guidance, how can they not Lead the way for me!"
He thought to himself: If that junior member of the Xia family hadn't created so many troubles and allowed these humble workers to die less and suffer less, perhaps things would have been a little easier tonight, and there would be no need to waste so much of his son's words.
But it doesn't matter anymore, the overall situation has been decided.
How could four hundred useless troops rely on this low city wall to fight against his two thousand men!
He looked up and saw the workers carrying ladders and rushing toward the city wall with proud smiles on their faces.
At the north gate of Jiang'an City, in the open space, the workers, with red-eyed anger and hatred, carrying ladders, rushed towards the city wall.
In front of them were the incompetent troops who were waiting in full formation, and behind them were the rebels who were watching the battle proudly.
When a war was about to break out, a voice suddenly sounded, exploding into the night sky.
"Zheng Tianyu! Are you still a fucking human?"
The sound was like thunder, causing the swarming workers to move. When they looked up, they saw a man in black reflected on the city wall in the flickering firelight. He was holding something similar to the suona in the village and shouted loudly.
Zheng Tianyu, who was dressed in silver armor, suddenly raised his head and saw the other party.
Although the distance was far away and the lights were dim, he still recognized the other person at a glance.
Xia Jingyun!
