The soldiers standing next to Xu Wei were shocked one by one, the battle of the day was very chaotic, they were shooting at the rebels in the distance on the city wall, and the cannon fodder below was directly fighting against the attacks of the rebels.

The enemy is not far away, and the ship is inspected by the moon lord

Although there were many soldiers present, most of them stared at the chaotic army in the distance, no one paid attention to whether someone had mixed into the crowd of cannon fodder, and the cannon fodder was thinly dressed before, dressing while fighting, and after a long time, the clothes of the two sides on the battlefield under the city basically began to be indistinguishable, so there was no need to even disguise it, just need to turn their backs to the cannon fodder and retreat while pretending to fight.

In fact, Xu Wei didn't know if the enemy had really mixed into the cannon fodder queue, the reason why he said this was to be able to find a reason for him to order the slaughter of the cannon fodder who tried to surrender, he was worried that there were spies in these cannon fodder, and the two sides attacked each other for a while, and the probability of this possibility was very high. Once these cannon fodder enter the city, they will definitely not be controlled by him, if the thousands of people under the city pour into the city, only these thousands of defenders in the city will not be able to control it at all, if you add the chaos to the chaos of the attack, it is estimated that it is possible to break the city, so he simply did not do anything, and directly ordered all of them to be killed, so as not to cause trouble to himself. But even he himself knows that this kind of thing is very immoral, in other words, it is a loss of heaven, and the soldiers have been avoiding him intentionally or unconsciously in the past few days, and now shouting this sentence in front of these messengers below is also to make an excuse for his order.

However, his intention was obviously realized, and Luo Rucai under the city just smiled bitterly, and arched his hand to Xu Wei on the city tower, "My lord, please forgive me, this is just that soldiers are not tired of cheating, marching and fighting, in order to achieve the means of doing everything they can, to blame, you can only blame these people for their bad luck." ”

"Hmph," Xu Wei had no expression on his face, and snorted coldly, but his heart was happy, it seemed that his idea still worked, and he directly broke the other party's conspiracy, and now he finally cleared himself. "This kind of subordinate means is really too hateful, have you ever known, under these many snowdrifts, where are the innocent souls buried? Which of these people does not have siblings, parents, and children? It is really hateful to be driven by you to come to your death, just for the sake of your ambition! ”

The soldiers next to him glared angrily one by one, all glaring at the messengers under the city, the rifles in their hands were tightly grasped, and some even began to take out bullets from the bullet pouch and stuff them into the muzzle. In the past few days, they have closed their eyes and shaken the scene of those cannon fodder falling to the ground one after another under their guns, and their bodies are cold and their hearts are also very cold, and they are afraid that sooner or later they will fall into the same fate as the unjust souls of those corpses on the battlefield below. They were attacking in obedience to orders, so they could only secretly hate Xu Wei who gave this order, and at this moment, Xu Wei said the reason for shooting, and immediately transferred their hatred to these messengers.

Don't look at the fact that these soldiers have done all the things they have done on weekdays, but it is really such a thing of killing all men, women, and children, which is really torturing the conscience, and in the face of the condemnation of conscience, these rebellious envoys who threw a lot of gold and silver to themselves not long ago have become extremely ugly in their eyes.

"Light the Rope!" As a small flag shouted out the order, several soldiers quickly took out their fire sickles, lit the fire velvet in a few strokes, and set the fire rope on fire. The curling smoke rose, making the envoys under the city extremely nervous, and Luo Rucai hurriedly shouted, "Slow and slow!" ”

He was actually wronged, and Wang Ziyong did have such a plan, wanting to let a group of personal soldiers mix in the cannon fodder, and then take advantage of the other party's opening of the city to block the city gate to break the city. But the personal army used by Wang Zi is not ready, and the cannon fodder is already beginning to retreat, and he plans to use some bitter tricks to make this personal army activated. But he didn't expect the other party's viciousness to be far beyond his imagination, and he directly fired guns at these cannon fodder below on the city wall, causing them to fall to the ground in rows, and the cannon fodder were cornered and could only choose to break through, except for about 100 people who escaped from the relatively poorly defended places, the others basically died on the battlefield because of the attacks of the warring parties. And the team of soldiers who were originally intended to be used as surprise soldiers were not used at all, and the battle was over.

The enemy is far from hating, and the enemy is behind me after receiving the moon

"Although this is shameless, because of the chaos of the battle, the people who were originally intended to be used to blend in have already flocked to the city wall before they arrived here," Luo Rucai shouted loudly, "In fact, these are refugees, not the soldiers of my 36th battalion. ”

At this time, Xu Wei's face was a little unbearable, but fortunately, the weather was cold now, and he didn't look red, he hurriedly said loudly, "You and other thieves, also know that such a method is used, and they have already admitted that they have this plan, but they deny that they will mix you and other thieves among the refugees, so why not cover it up?" Are you ever worthy of these dead brothers around you? He raised his right hand as he spoke.

Although the soldiers of the Zheng family army said that they still had some doubts about what Xu Wei said, but now that they have such an outlet, they naturally will not hold their conscience condemnation in their hearts, and when they saw Xu Wei raise his right hand, they pointed the rifles that lit the arquebus at Luo Rucai and his party under the city wall, and they would shoot when they waited for Xu Wei to give the order.

Luo Rucai's face was pale, he watched the whole battle during the siege of the city a few days ago, and knew that the power of these Zheng Jiajun's muskets was accurate and far, and Zhang Cunmeng's unlucky boy was about five hundred steps away from the city wall, and was hit by a huge hole in the neck of a lead shot from the city wall, and died on the spot. Now that he is on the city tower, the muzzle of the other party's black hole hole is pointed at his own line, there is no need to doubt, as long as the figure of this military advisor waves his hand, a large pile of lead will fly out to send him to the end. Thinking of this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be angry, the adults upstairs, we know that we can't win the battle, and we want to surrender to the official army and wait for the government to deal with it." ”

After the enmity of the land, the art of connecting the sun and making trouble

Although he said this against his will, he had a sincere face, and Xu Wei was stunned, what? Running to surrender?

"Yes! My lord! Before today, these brothers had lived the same life as these refugees, and they were also driven to die in front of the battle, but Luo was lucky and did not die on the spot. Saying that, Luo Rucai hurriedly untied the padded jacket, lifted the clothes inside, and showed a scar on his body to the people on the city tower. Although we are thieves, we are concerned about Dawu, and we don't want to do it all the time, but ......" said he bowed his head with deep emotion and sighed and shook his head, "All the way south, along the way, either the officers and soldiers dare not stop it, or they will collapse at the touch of a button, and even kill the good and take the risk, we don't want to surrender, but we don't dare to surrender, if we are caught and cut off the head to receive the reward, wouldn't it be too unjust to die?" ”

The posterior branch is not a ghost, and the sun is secretly connected

Xu Wei's face was a little unbearable, but fortunately, the weather was cold now, and he didn't look red, he hurriedly said loudly, "You and other thieves also know that they have such a method, and they have already admitted that they have this plan, but they deny that they will mix your and other thieves among the refugees, so why not cover it up?" Are you ever worthy of these dead brothers around you? He raised his right hand as he spoke.

The ship of the earth is so cold that I am examined by Yang Hao

Xu Wei was silent, and his intuition told him that the person below was telling a lie, but now he couldn't see any flaws, and the rifles in the hands of many soldiers around him were originally aiming, and they also raised their muzzles at this time, listening to him. Luo Rucai saw the reaction from above, knew that there was a play, and hurriedly continued, "Today, General Zheng personally led a large army to Taiping to assist in quelling the rebellion, and it was the first time that Luo encountered an army that dared to confront these thieves head-on, so he had the heart to surrender. As he spoke, he looked around, and several relatives around him hurriedly nodded upstairs and said, "I hope the general will take it in!" "General help!"

"This time, I have the responsibility of contacting the heavenly army for the thief army, but in fact, we intend to take this opportunity to surrender, and ask the general to take it in!" Saying that, Luo Rucai knelt heavily in the snow and kowtowed three times to the city.

To surrender? Luo Rucai would never do such a thing at all. In fact, the core figures among the thieves in the late Ming Dynasty in the old world were neither Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, nor Li Zicheng, but Luo Rucai, who was kneeling in the snow at the moment, the rebel leader nicknamed "Cao Cao". "Water Margin" had a great influence on the society at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jingting said that Wu Song was famous all over the world, forming a social atmosphere of "rebellion is justified". Li Zhen, a scholar at the end of the Ming Dynasty, had an appreciative attitude towards the government's coercion of the people, which aroused the anger of the elites. The royal literati criticized Li Zhen verbally and in writing, but it did not play a role in improving society, and the lower class did not read those words. When social contradictions intensified to a certain extent, they broke out in general, and thieves arose. Yan'an is an old revolutionary base area, and the natural environment makes it the source of the revolution. The mountains were full of thieves, the basic force of the revolution. The thieves have nicknames in the rivers and lakes, and Luo Rucai is known as "Cao Cao", who is very strategic. The joint operation of the thirteen families is Luo Rucai's idea, the thieves imitate the heroes of Liangshan, Gao Yingxiang commands the seventy-two road Tiangang, and Zhang Xianzhong leads the thirty-six road earth. Luo Rucai is good at reconciling the relationship between various ministries, so everyone is willing to cooperate with him. After the city was conquered, the children's property was divided equally, and there was a way to steal. Honest officials will not be touched, and corrupt officials will be beaten, this is Luo Rucai's morality. There was a leader who avenged the people, captured the city, and killed the family of the honest officials, so angry that Luo Ru divided the leader's five horses. Usually there are only three to five hundred defenders in a county, and hundreds of thousands of thieves are often in charge, and the official army cannot hold the city. Luo Rucai cooperated with Gao Yingxiang the most, they were all old rivers and lakes, and Gao Yingxiang was a horse thief in the past. Luo Rucai likes luxury, belongs to the poor and rich nouveau riche, and he will not give in even if he dies after enjoying enough. In the past, Luo Rucai couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, but after becoming the leader of the thieves, there were no less than 100 beauties around him, all of them were like flowers and jade, which is the reason why Luo Rucai likes to be a thief. "Robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "doing the right thing for heaven" are just slogans, and it is good to be able to protect yourself. They are all rabble, they don't give in to each other, they don't save each other when they lose, and they get together just to rob their homes and houses, and they have no other purpose.

Because he is not only popular, but also very good at communicating with people, Wang Ziyong specially sent him to negotiate with these strange officials and soldiers in Taiping City, and by the way, to find out the truth of the officials and soldiers in the city. Luo Rucai came this time, and quickly got the information, before several battles, Monk Wang didn't know who the opponent was, and suffered a big loss in the hands of the Zheng family's army, and now after such a negotiation, he knew the origin of this army, and the next thing to know was the number of officers and soldiers in the city.

The best way to find out how many enemies there are in a city is to sneak into it. The defense of Taiping City is very tight, they have sent some people with a little kung fu and even claimed to be able to fly the eaves and walk the wall to cross the city wall and enter the city, but these people were all shot to death in the open space in front of the city wall, and the most powerful one could only be killed by Ding Zhuang at the head of the city at the foot of the city wall. Although they said that they had surrounded Taiping City, they didn't know how many enemies were surrounded inside, how much food there was in the city, how long it could be supported, if it was like a snake swallowing a hedgehog, it would be fine, at most, it would be until the spring thaw Wang Jiayin's main force rushed to encircle and annihilate Taiping. But if the city is really as He Yilong mentioned before, there are tens of thousands of officials and soldiers, and there is enough food, and they can't eat it even if they are waiting for work, and Wang Jiayin's main force can't eat it! Therefore, understanding the reality in Taiping City has become the first priority for the king's own use.

Luo Rucai surrendered like this under the city, of course, he was first afraid of being shot and killed here, so he quickly knelt down and surrendered first, at least his life was still there, if he was killed, wouldn't the many beautiful concubines in his camp be cheap for nothing? Secondly, he also wants to take such an opportunity to infiltrate the city, as long as he blends into the city, with his ability to handle interpersonal relationships, the information in the city must be handy. When the time comes, the information will be passed out, and then after the city is broken, everyone will share the money together, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? In contrast, now he is kneeling in the snow, his face is covered with snow on the ground, and he is embarrassed.

Xu Wei made a mistake this time, the envoys in front of him looked sincere, and they came to surrender at first glance, but he subconsciously told him that this was a fake surrender. Of course, he could wave his hand and let the soldiers shoot these people to death, but such an act combined with the indiscriminate shooting of refugees a few days ago would spread out, which is equivalent to telling the thieves that Zheng Jiajun will not accept surrender. Now in the Shanxi Rebellion Battalion, regardless of the fact that his thousands of troops are divided and surrounded, he can think that he has an opinion on his own force with his feet, and at this moment, such a general act is equivalent to sending ammunition to the Suppression Camp, and when the time comes, the emperor will be furious and cancel the combat exploits of the Zheng family army in the past few days. Thinking of this, he waved his hand helplessly and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go down to the basket and pick them up." ”
