Cao Ren gave an order, and the poor auxiliary soldiers and civilians were arranged to board the oars upstairs and became the targets of the Han army's killings.
This is war. Once on the battlefield, no one can survive alone.
Although Pang Tong was unwilling to do so, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who boarded the oars upstairs would not show mercy in order to survive.
Most of the auxiliary soldiers are old and weak, but that doesn't mean they can't fight.
With the help of auxiliary soldiers, the civilians quickly learned how to use bows and arrows.
"Show no mercy to them!"
"Since you are on the battlefield, I don't care whose husband, son or father you are!"
"When you go to the battlefield, you must be prepared to die at any time!"
Liu Mang gave an order, which made the defenders wake up from a dream. With firm eyes, they continued to fight against the enemy troops on the rafters!
The only weapons that both sides can use are bows and arrows!
At this time, the defender's advantage was revealed.
Facing the old and weak auxiliary soldiers and the civilian men who only knew how to farm and carry transportation, many people were quickly shot and killed.
At this time, Sima Yi rode his horse to the city and shouted: "Liu Changqing! Your father Liu Xuande has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous!"
"Now you are killing civilians, isn't it the most ridiculous thing in the world?"
"In my opinion, Ru and his son are just selfish hypocrites!"
Sima Yi wanted to use this to shake the morale of the army, but Liu Mang had a heart as strong as iron and would not be swayed by a few words.
"Sima Laogou, since we are on the battlefield, both sides are enemies!"
"Everyone, you can kill me too! What's wrong with killing the enemy on the battlefield?"
Liu Mang blocked the arrows while shouting at the enemy soldiers on the rafters.
"As auxiliary soldiers, you should stay away from the battlefield. Even if you cannot enjoy your old age, you should not die on the front line!"
"You fellow citizens are just being forced into servitude! This will not be the case under my father's rule!"
"If you want to complain, hate the person who pushed you to the front line!"
Uh-huh!
Liu Mang pointed his sword at Sima Yi and roared: "The real enemy is this man! If you are still bloody, why don't you kill him?"
As soon as Liu Mang finished speaking, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians on the oars all looked at Sima Yi!
That look seemed to eat him alive!
Whether it was the siege of the city, the previous burning of the buildings, or even letting the auxiliary soldiers and civilians go to the battlefield, it was this person's idea!
Sima Yi also noticed that these people looked at him unkindly!
"Continue to attack, don't let this monster's words confuse the crowd!"
After that, Sima Yi hurriedly rode away. After all, the battlefield was full of variables, and he was afraid of being hit by a hidden arrow.
The auxiliary soldiers and civilians now understand that they are just cannon fodder pushed to the front line. What reason do they have to kill each other with the Han army?
Liu Mang was keenly aware of this and shouted at the auxiliary soldiers and civilians in the building.
"Brothers! How about none of us shoot arrows, or shoot empty arrows, and hold on until Ming Jin withdraws his troops?"
Liu Mang immediately ordered that no one in the city's defenders was allowed to fire arrows.
Cao Jun in the building saw this and followed suit one by one. Anyway, the Shangguan below could not see it.
These guys who are afraid of death will not care about their life or death!
"Liu Changqing really puts integrity first!"
"We don't need to kill each other. When Ming Jin withdraws his troops, we will win!"
"Just listen to the enemy general!"
The auxiliary soldiers don't want to die, and the civilian husband doesn't want to die even more!
The two sides followed Liu Mang's command and fought a so-called tacit battle.
Xu Huang saw all this, as did Zhang Liao and Le Jin.
"Boy, should I inform General Zixiao about this matter?"
Xu Huang took the initiative and asked the other two colleagues for their opinions.
"Not going."
Le Jin made it simple and clear. He did not agree with Sima Yi's approach.
"Gongming, has Duke Cao ever done such a shameless thing when he led us in battle?"
Zhang Liao looked at Xu Huang and said with a smile: "If Gong Ming wants to enforce the law impartially, Zhang Liao has nothing to say."
"If it's Xu Gongming who has the style of Zhou Yafu, he should know what to do."
Xu Huang sighed and said nothing. He stayed under the oar with Zhang Liao and Le Jin, letting the fight get lively above.
The sound of ringing gold sounded, and Jiangling City finally survived another day!
It’s raining heavily, and it’s obviously the rainiest days!
Fire attack is completely useless!
The next few days will be Jiangling City’s biggest test!
In order to survive this day, Pang Tong used up all the firecrackers in the city.
"Damn it, what a thief! If you had known, what kind of military art would I learn? I would just learn the magic from Zhang Jiao, Yu Jina and other magic sticks!"
Pang Tong cursed angrily and rarely continued drinking.
It was precisely because he was able to observe the sky at night that Pang Tong knew that the heavy rain would continue for several days!
Such a difficult combat environment was actually more beneficial to Cao Jun.
The company strategy can continue to work.
The Jiangling defenders had to accept the baptism of bad weather, and Cao's army launched fierce attacks one after another.
"Jiangling City is now under siege, but we can hold on for at least two days."
"I told the soldiers before that reinforcements will arrive in three days!"
"Now that one day has passed, we still have two days to change our fate against the odds."
Liu Mang looked at the generals with a smile, and a look of perseverance flashed across their faces.
"Your Majesty, Ci can fight out single-handedly and seek reinforcements!"
Taishi Ci was able to ride out alone when the Yellow Turban Army surrounded Beihai that day, and found Liu Bei to rush for reinforcements.
Although he is getting older now, his ambition has never faded.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight out of the siege with my father!"
Taishi Heng finally met his father, so naturally he was unwilling to endure the separation.
"I didn't say cajoling soldiers or reinforcements. There will definitely be reinforcements."
"We are quite united among the big men."
"Don't forget, who are the people guarding the four counties in Jingnan?"
"Wuling Gongzhi, that's my dad's crazy fan!"
"Changsha Liu Pan, these are all real relatives!"
"Guiyang Zhao Fan, my fourth uncle Zhao's adopted brother!"
"Lingling Liu Xian, both have the surname Liu. Why doesn't he come?"
Liu Mang is now doing everything he can to boost morale. Of course he has absolute trust in his men!
Even if the four counties in Jingnan cannot come, Xu Shu from Jiaozhou will definitely respond!
Wei Yan, Deng Ai, Huangshan, and Ma Su are all his capable generals!
…
Fifty miles outside Jiangling City.
Gong Zhi braved the wind and rain and led the Jingnan reinforcements to finally arrive near Jiangling.
"Brothers, please rest first and don't let Cao Jun find out!"
"Tomorrow, everyone will listen to my command, especially the brothers of Wuxi Man!"
"I know that you are eager to rescue the Crown Prince, and you cannot act without authorization!"
Halfway through, Gong Zhi captured Cao Jun's spy, only to find out that Liu Mang was now in Jiangling City!
"Your Majesty, hold on! This time, we will save you!"
Gong Zhi looked at Jiangling City. Tomorrow he would improve the morale of the defenders and show the enemy generals the strength of their four counties in Jingnan!
