From the arrival of the Ruzhou soldiers on the battlefield to the time when Yuan Zonghao led people to completely defeat them, it took half an hour, and in this half an hour, Liu Guangwu of Nanyang Mansion did not send a single soldier to support at all, and he did not even open the city gate.

Since then, there has been a version of the story in Ruzhou, we are so stupid, really, we know that the Manchu Tartars do not treat us as human beings, and we stupidly rushed up to help them defend the city, and our three thousand brothers, even the poor Lord Tang of Zhizhou, or not even a thousand people who came back.

This matter does not have any effect in the moment, because it takes time for rumors to ferment, and even the change of people's minds is not something overnight, but since the seeds are planted, there will be a day when they will take root and sprout and grow.

Yuan Zonghao's siege plan can only be postponed for one day because of Tang Renjin's indiscriminate fighting, the ancients once said, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the soldiers today are all used in Tang Renjin, and the effect of attacking the city may not be good.

Liu Guangwu at the head of the city scolded Tang Renjin well, he could have been freed today, who knew that there would be an eventful one, and he would have to keep one more day, his own carriages and horses were ready, and who knew what accidents would happen if he spent another night.

Sometimes people want to believe in their lives, but Liu Guangwu did not escape his life at all, no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.

On this night, Wu Zeyuan, a military general in the city, discovered Liu Guangwu's abnormality, and after a little inquiry, he understood that his master was about to abandon the city and flee, so he immediately gathered his brothers in his camp and came to Liu Guangwu's home.

Liu Guangwu was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by a loud noise, and when he went out, he saw that it was Wu Zeyuan, the general in the camp, and suddenly looked angry: "General Wu, are you going to rebel?" ”

"I don't dare to rebel, I just want to ask what the adults want to do when they clean up their homes so well?"

"Do you want to report to you?"

"When the national disaster is at hand, the adults don't want to serve the country with their bodies, but they want to abandon the city and flee, if the adults abandon the city and flee, the morale of the soldiers in the city will inevitably plummet, and then Nanyang Mansion will not be able to hold it."

"You bastard is too noisy, this official said, how does this official plan has nothing to do with you!"

Wu Zeyuan snorted coldly: "Since the general can't give me a reasonable explanation, then don't blame the general for being rude." Come, and tie the lord to the head of the city. ”

"What are you going to do with this bastard?"

"My lord, from today onwards, you will eat and live in the city, and your family and brothers will also help you take care of your life, until the siege of Nanyang City is over, and the last general will naturally return the adult's family to the adult." The meaning of this sentence is that if you do not lead us to war, then the brothers will never be polite.

Liu Guangwu scolded angrily: "What do you bastard know, I want to escape is Prince Jian's order, do you dare to disobey the prince's order, aren't you afraid of killing the nine clans?" ”

"Since the prince has given an order, then please show the prince's decree to the last general, and the last general promises to immediately bind himself in front of the adult and let the adult dispose of it."

Liu Guangwu is now considered to be suffering, how can this kind of order implement the will? Regardless of whether the battle is won or not, if this kind of order leaves a handle, it will become a reason for the officials of the imperial court to attack him in the future.

Looking at Liu Guangwu's appearance, Wu Zeyuan sneered: "Since this is the case, then the general can only be sorry." He waved his hand: "Please go up to the city tower to guard the city, leave thirty brothers, if there is a rebellion in your family, for the safety of your family, slaughter them!" ”

The only people in Liu Guangwu's family who want to make trouble are his henchmen, because if these people want to escape with Liu Guangwu's family, they can only slaughter these thirty people, and this sentence can be regarded as cutting off Liu Guangwu's back road.

As the saying goes, Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable, although Liu Guangwu is not Xiucai, but Wu Zeyuan has a preconceived idea, no matter what he says, Wu Zeyuan feels that he is quibbling, and Rabu just passed the order, and did not explain the specific reasons at all, Liu Guangwu never thought about what Rabu was going to do, and where could he figure out what he was going to do for a while, so naturally there was no way to convince Wu Zeyuan.

I slept in the city for the night, fortunately it was summer, and if it was winter, I would have to freeze poor Lord Liu to death.

Liu Guangwu had no intention of fighting, and he was worried that he would not be able to defend the city, so he simply handed over the power of guarding the city to Wu Zeyuan.

When these soldiers in the army learned that the power had fallen into the hands of Wu Zeyuan, they all raised their spirits, Liu Guangwu's performance has proved that he has no intention of defending the city, Wu Zeyuan is different, this is a famous tough guy in the army, and with him, everyone's lives are guaranteed.

If it was a direct attack yesterday, although it would be more difficult, it would definitely be able to fight in one battle, and now it will have to fight hard.

The ladder and battering ram came to the city under the cover of archers and shield bearers, and a fierce battle began between the two sides.

Although he was a little vigilant before, after several victories against Geng Shang's coalition army, the generals in the army will inevitably have a trace of pride in their hearts, and it is exaggerated to say that they underestimate the heroes of the world. Now that it is considered to have given them a head-on blow, the defenders of this city are well-founded, which is a little different from what they imagined.

Cheng Xiaolian was also watching the battle from a distance, at this time it was impossible for him to rush to the siege team, it was not necessary and worthless, he was just watching the combat effectiveness of the Manchu army, although he had also fought with Tuhai, but each army had its own characteristics, and only by analyzing the characteristics of each army could we better deal with them.

Chen Chengan saw the scene of the siege and laughed: "Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Qin and they are a little unprepared, and the soldiers in front of them are a little flustered. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "This is also a matter of no way, if the Northern Sweeping Army is here, this situation will not occur at all, all the strong armies in the world are all fought hard battles, there has never been a natural strong army, if they do not go through this step, it will be difficult to become a first-class army in the world." ”

"Speaking of which, thanks to the defenders in this city, if we really let us fight, the minister will have to worry about whether they can hold on to the encirclement of the three forces."

Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "There seems to be something wrong with the defenders in the city, if it is according to Rabu's idea, they shouldn't be so tenacious, could it be that we guessed the wrong purpose of Rabu?" Is there a situation around the Jinyi Guard? ”

Yang Youcai hurriedly spoke: "No, I have sent countless brothers to the garrison of the army of the three places and along the way, even if they have wings, they will not appear in front of us. ”
