Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 778 Reinforcements

The bloody siege battle continued, and the moat outside Nanyang City was almost filled.

Some of the fillings were filled with soil thrown in by officers and soldiers, some were filled with rocks thrown from the city, and most were corpses whose original appearance could hardly be seen.

The city wall near the city gate was almost completely covered with a layer of black and purple blood stains, which were all marks left by the attackers.

Zeng, Huang and Zhu, who had never seen blood before, were quite uncomfortable when they first saw this situation, but now they have become accustomed to it.

Mrs. Huang even said to Mrs. Zhu privately: "I used to hear old people say that killing people is like killing chickens. Now it seems that it is really unbelievable. How can there be so many chickens to kill in this world?"

After hearing this, Zeng Yurou frowned and asked Zhang Shun: "I wonder how long this war will last? Such a killing method is really..."

"Compassion does not control soldiers!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "If I don't kill him, he will kill me. If we fall into their hands, it will probably be a hundred times worse than them!"

"Fortunately, people's hearts are full of flesh. As enemies, we can hardly stand it anymore. The officers and soldiers must have collapsed in the past few days!"

The actual situation of the officers and soldiers was more serious than Zhang Shun imagined.

King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty looked at the wailing soldiers in the camp. He walked over, but no one moved to salute him.

These people have no dignity whatsoever and look at their superiors above them indifferently.

Zhu Yujian remembered a sentence inexplicably: The king regards the minister as a fool, and the minister regards the king as an enemy!

He shivered, wrapped himself in a fur coat, and hurriedly hid in the Chinese army tent of Tang Hui, governor of Huguang.

When Zhu Yujian saw that Tang Huizheng was playing chess with the old man from the Nanyang magistrate, he couldn't help complaining: "Junmen, you are too arrogant."

"Do you still have time to play chess at this time? Go take a look outside the tent when you have time. Maybe something will happen at Xiaoying tonight!"

"Prince Tang, be careful!" As soon as Zhu Yujian finished speaking, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, quickly pulled him to the front and responded in a low voice: "How could I not know? I'm just pretending to be calm to be a soldier!"

"The 'Shun Thief' is indeed good at fighting. The officers and soldiers attacked several times but returned without success. Now that morale is low, it is the time when the thieves are waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. We have been waiting for a long time!"

"Why is this?" Zhu Yujian twisted his body on the chair uneasily, as if he was sitting in the crater of a volcano.

"Lead the snake out of its hole!" Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "If the thieves huddle in the city, even with thousands of troops and horses, they will not be able to defeat them!"

"If the thieves come out of the city to fight, and two iron cavalry come out from the left and right to attack the thieves, what will happen?"

"You mean Shanhaiguan closed down the cavalry?" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian suddenly realized.

"That's right!" Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, sneered, "Xiaoguan has just received the news that Generals You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia have personally led 5,000 cavalry to Zhenping and can attack at any time to kill the enemy!"

"I want to see how long the rebellious officials and traitors in the city can endure! Once the officers and soldiers are defeated, will he go out of the city to pursue them?"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian couldn't help but exclaimed, "When the time comes, please ask the military sect to give me a face and let me kill this beast with my own hands!"

"Hey, I rely on you for everything else, but this is the only one that won't work!" Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, sneered, "I want to escort this guy to the capital and cut him into pieces, so that I can deter these unruly villains!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, hesitated for a long time, then sighed and said: "Well, then, we will act according to the military policy, and this thief will definitely die a good death!"

The three people discussed and agreed. Early the next morning, Huguang Governor Tang Hui continued to call his generals You Zhaiwen and Xu Chengming, and ordered: "We will continue as usual today!"

When You Zhaiwen and Xu Chengming heard this, they were shocked and quickly persuaded them: "In the military gate, the soldiers have not rested for days and are exhausted. How can we continue to drive them to death?"

"Bold!" Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, couldn't help but get angry and said angrily, "Are you questioning me?"

"Anyone who refuses to carry out military orders will be shot to death. Anyone who dares to make noise and make trouble will be punished by his wife, children and children at home! I want to see who has the courage to eat the bear's heart and the leopard!"

You Zhaiwen and Xu Cheng, the famous officials, were weak, spoke softly, and couldn't do anything when they saw things, so they couldn't help but shook their heads and left.

When Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, saw the two men walking out of the camp, he ordered to the left and right: "Order the camp to be on alert to prevent other officers and soldiers from causing trouble!"

It is impossible not to be afraid. Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, used this trick to seek survival in death. It seemed simple, but if he was not careful, it would turn into actively seeking death. There would be no life after ten deaths, so he had to be cautious!

Not long after, the rumble of war drums sounded again.

Most of the soldiers lay motionless on the ground, as if they didn't hear anything.

The officers on the left and right looked at it and couldn't help but pick up the riding crop and whipped it.

As they smoked, they cursed: "Get up, get up! You short-lived ghosts who have suffered from the plague, do you still want to be lazy?"

They were all soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield. Some of them could not help but stare when they heard this and wanted to resist.

The others hurriedly stopped him and comforted him privately: "Why are you angry with the dead? In less than two days, there will be chaos in this camp!"

Not to mention that everyone has their own secrets, Zhang Shun looked at Wangfu Mountain for a long time and couldn't help laughing: "The officers and soldiers are suspicious, this is a defeated army!"

"Why do you say that?" Everyone asked curiously.

"You see that there has been a certain distance between the soldiers and officers, and there are many quarrels between the two sides. It must be difficult to enforce the military orders. As long as the rebels come out of the city and attack, the officers and soldiers will be defeated!" Zhang Shun responded with a smile.

"Please lead your troops out of the city to defeat this beast!" Xiao Qinhu heard this and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for help.

To be honest, Zhang Shun was suddenly a little moved. But then he thought about it and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry for now, wait a little longer, we will discipline him to defeat without a fight without using any swords or soldiers!"

"Pretending to be a ghost!" Gao Guiying couldn't help but rolled her eyes in annoyance when she heard this, knowing that Zhang Shun's old habit of playing tricks on others was back.

The two sides fought symbolically until noon. The officers and soldiers retreated like a tide, but the rebels did not take the initiative to leave the city to pursue them.

Zhang Shun was accustomed to eating three meals a day, so he asked Zeng Yurou to cook a few side dishes, heated up a pot of wine, and drank with others in the pavilion on Wangfu Mountain while checking on the officers and soldiers.

Not long after, Zhang Shun's peripheral vision swept across the north of Nanyang City and saw shadowy figures behind the officers and soldiers camp in the distance, as if a large group of people were coming.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but was stunned, then put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and built an awning with his hands, and saw that there seemed to be various flags mixed in.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, now that he was deep into the enemy's territory, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Another large group of people arrived. Could it be reinforcements from officers and soldiers?

He suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he had just waited for an opportunity and ordered his soldiers to launch a surprise attack, he might have defeated the team of Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang in front of him, and then it would be much easier to deal with the troops here!
