Wuguancheng, the bandit leaders who defected to Li Li, were all a little silent.

Li Li looked at them with a gloomy face, and said murderously: "It's not that I can't trust you, but if it weren't for those rebels who defected, how could we have lost that battle?" ”

"It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that I don't want to see the events on the battlefield repeat themselves a few days ago, so please think twice!"

"Stomp, stomp!"

Li Li waved his hand, and hundreds of elite Xiliang troops emerged behind him. Armed with sharp blades, they surrounded all the bandit leaders.

Many bandit leaders were a little panicked. There was a deep helplessness on their faces, and there was a faint hint of fierceness in their eyes.

Li Li looked at everyone expressionlessly and said, "You only need to leave your relatives as hostages for the time being, and you can leave this place safely." Otherwise......"

Li Li didn't continue, but the corners of his mouth showed a cruel smile.

Li Li, who came back from defeat, hated those who defected to the battle. I am afraid that the rest of the bandits, bandits, and the people who have been forcibly recruited into the army will also rebel when they are faced with the siege of the camp.

Therefore, Li Li made this decision, to let all the bandit leaders hand over their families as hostages.

A big man got up angrily, kicked over the desk in front of him, and shouted angrily: "I came to join you, but I don't want you to ask my family members as hostages." ”

Then he looked around at everyone and shouted: "In that case, why don't I turn against Li Li and dedicate Wuguan to the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court?" ”

"Kill!"

Cold words spat out from Li Li's mouth. The Xiliang soldiers behind him suddenly took their weapons and pounced on the big man who had just spoken.

"Poof!"

A huge head rose into the sky, blood splattering out and spilling all over the floor of the room.

Li Li pulled out the matching sword in his waist, pointed at the head of the big man, and said with a hideous face: "Which one still has objections, just like this person!" ”

Cruelty and death finally shocked these bandit leaders. In desperation, they had to agree to hand over their family members to Li Li as hostages.

After having the hostages, Li Li was still not at ease. He completely disrupted these bandits and let them garrison the four city walls, but as for the guards at the city gate, they were all his descendants, the Xiliang army.

In addition to this, Li Li also began to cut the food rations of these people and restrict their personal freedom. For a time, there were many complaints in Wuguan City.

However, under Li Li's brutal suppression, these bandit leaders did not stir up much of a storm after all.

Internally, Li Li implemented iron-blooded means. But externally, he threw out extremely generous conditions. Li Li once again used food as bait to lure the nearby homeless people who were starved and red-eyed, as well as the bandits.

"My lord, the thief army also threw food as bait and gathered a lot of people. Today, the thief army has gathered 30,000 horses. ”

Li Li listened to the scout's report, his face extremely gloomy.

Due to the defeat of the last army, as well as the trapping camp to occupy the righteousness, the edict of the Son of Heaven crusaded against Wuguan. Many ordinary people and bandits and thieves, after receiving the pardon document from the imperial court, almost all went to Gaoshun.

In the final analysis, everyone didn't believe that only Li Li, a lonely city, could block the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army.

Li Li clenched his fists tightly, and after a long time, he said weakly to the other general: "In the past three days, how many people have come to join us?" ”

The general said with some hesitation: "In the past few days, only more than 1,000 people have come one after another. ”

"More than a thousand?"

Li Li was in good spirits, there were more than a thousand people, it was much better than nothing.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Li hurriedly asked, "Are these people spies mixed in by the thief army?" ”

The general shook his head and said, "This group of people are all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and it is impossible for them to be soldiers trapped in the camp. Moreover, I have found a lot of bandit leaders, and they can also testify that these thousand or so people are not those rebels who have defected. ”

Hearing this, Li Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "I once heard Brother Siam say that a thousand dollars buy horse bones. Be kind to these people, maybe in the future, more people will come to join us. ”

Thinking of the dead Li Xian, Li Li felt a little gloomy in his heart.

For three days in a row, Gao Shun did not attack the city, he just let people continue to recruit homeless people and bandits.

Seeing this, the guards of Wuguan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Li Li stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of the trapped camp Dazhai, and sneered in his heart: "I want to see how long their grain and grass can last when so many homeless people are recruited." ”

"Knock knock!"

As soon as Li Li's words fell, the deafening sound of war drums resounded throughout the vibrating land.

I saw that under the city wall, dense soldiers rushed over, and as far as the eye could see, there were human heads everywhere.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Li Li was horrified in his heart, and shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

"Woooooo

The sound of the horn resounded throughout Wuguan, and the soldiers who were still napping on the city wall suddenly woke up. In a panic, they took up their weapons and ran to their respective posts.

Under the city wall, Gao Shun led the trapping camp and killed him. Behind him was a dense crowd of new people.

"Stop!"

Two arrows away from the city wall, Gao Shun raised the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Ho!"

The trap struck their shields with their weapons, and a beastly howl emanated from their mouths. They ordered a ban, and after receiving Gao Shun's order, they immediately stopped in place.

The tens of thousands of rabble behind them, although they could not do the same as trapping in the camp, slowly stopped their progress.

The formation of these people was scattered and disorganized. However, their large numbers also put great pressure on the defenders on the city walls.

Gao Shun pointed a gun at Li Li on the city wall, and drank: "Anti-country and traitor, the heavenly soldiers are here, why don't you surrender early?" If you insist on resisting, when the army breaks through the city, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

"Kill!"

Fifteen hundred soldiers in the camp waved their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

These miscellaneous soldiers who charge into battle are not very good, but when it comes to waving flags and shouting, these miscellaneous soldiers are not inferior.

The shouts of killing that shook the heavens and the earth made the defenders in the city change color slightly.

Especially those miscellaneous soldiers who defected to Li Li, as well as the people who were forcibly recruited by the Xiliang Army, some of them couldn't even hold their weapons.

Even those Western Liang routs who had fought against the trapped camp were the same.

In the battle not long ago, the powerful combat effectiveness of the trapped camp has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even with the barrier of the city wall, they were terrified.
