After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

Si Yun flew towards Kyoto from another hidden exit in Suizhou.

The second wave of battle on the tower is already in full swing.

These "bandits" not only have ladders, but also heavy crossbows. The arrows of the crossbows are made of hard wood as shafts and iron sheets as feathers. They are as big as javelins. They can be directly nailed into the city wall after being fired at close range. Hundreds of "javelins" were nailed into the walls so that the besiegers could climb up*.

Fortunately, the city tower of Suizhou was made of solid marble, which greatly weakened the power of the heavy crossbow, but it also put great pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

Originally, they could easily repel the bandits attacking the city with ladders by using kerosene and bows and arrows with sparks, but now this move was suppressed by heavy crossbows, and the towers gradually declined.

After the heavy crossbow formed a javelin for climbing on the wall, someone threw a ladder and flew directly onto the tower to attack.

Tu Wei immediately ordered the crowd to bring a large amount of hot oil and pour it on the crossbow bolts in a large area. Immediately, a large group of bandits fell from the height of the tower because of slippery soles.

This method can only block a temporary attack.

This group of bandits is determined to attack Suizhou tonight, because once dawn, the changes in Suizhou tonight will spread to the capital, and if it attracts the attention of the capital, it will be difficult to end.

Since this group of people is disguised as a regular army, and they can hold heavy crossbows, it is not impossible to drive out a siege engine in a while.

Such sophisticated siege equipment, said to be ordinary bandits, who would believe it? !

This is a premeditated "mutiny" hidden under the skin of banditry!

"It's not an option to stick to it any longer. Once they take out the trebuchets and flying muskets, the people in the city will be implicated!"

Both trebuchets and flying muskets are powerful siege weapons, and their range can be thrown within 1000 meters. Once they pass over the city tower and hit the residential buildings in the city, the casualties must be extremely heavy.

Chu Shao concluded that the people behind the bandits were still hesitating, because once these two sharp weapons were sacrificed, it would be difficult to attribute this siege to a banditry.

After all, no bandits in the cottage could hoard such high-cost siege weapons, not to mention that the group of people in Langshan were severely injured by officers and soldiers and were recruited for security.

There are two paths before Chu Shao, defend to the end or go out of the city to fight.

Use steadfast defense to force out the opponent's last trump card, and the wreckage of these weapons will be the most favorable evidence for accusations.

This is not what Chu Shao wants, but it is the ultimate goal of these "bandits". As long as there are large-scale casualties in the city, King Yu will be charged with ineffective defense of the city.

Chu Qingxu chose the second path without hesitation: go out of the city to fight.

He asked Tu Wei to summon a small team, and asked them to gather the women, children, and children in the city to the safest Yuwang Mansion for shelter within a stick of incense, and evacuate all the people living within a hundred miles of the tower.

After hearing this, Tu Wei remembered that when the prince threatened to bombard Nanqi, Chu Qingxu did the same, trying his best to protect the lives of the people.

"Prince Yu's Mansion itself is heavily guarded, and it is in the hinterland of the city, so it is the safest."

"Pass me another password."

Chu Shao had honed himself on the battlefield for ten years. Even if he had forgotten all his past, he still gave orders with a decisive majesty, which made the young generals below dare not raise any objections. They didn't even come to their senses. Shaolian has no official position, and the young generals at the bottom of the field have more power than him.

Chu Shao said sonorously and forcefully: "After a stick of incense, Suizhou will open the city to face the battle. But the opponent has tens of thousands of people, and the number of people is huge. The city needs to temporarily recruit civilians to defend the city. The army opens the arsenal and equips the adult men of each family with weapons. , If the bandits finally enter the city, you can get 50 taels of silver if you kill a bandit, kill one bandit, and get a hundred taels of gold, and if you kill ten people, you will be rewarded according to your military merits!"

Instead of sitting still, let it go.

Everyone immediately took orders to do it.

The people in the city were in a mess. When the soldiers led them to the palace, someone suddenly ran into the street and shouted like crazy: "It's over, it's over! Suizhou City is going to be over! The soldiers in the city want to listen to the command of a Qizhou barbarian!" Everyone must not listen to him! Maybe he is with the bandits!!"

Chu Shao stared at him, and the person who was shouting and screaming was the scholar Li Puppet who threw stones at Chu Mingzi at the gathering that day.

People's words are terrifying, when Li Puppet yelled like this, some timid people were shaken immediately, crying in despair, as if the sky was about to fall down. At this time, a person's emotions can spread to a large area.

Originally, most of the common people thought that this was just a small problem that could be solved although it was serious, but now, they all thought it was a sign of the country's subjugation!

"This man surnamed Chu, he is a member of the enemy country, and everyone around the lord has been bewitched by him, and they actually listen to his male favorite at this time! It's a big joke in the world, it's insulting to the gentlemen, it's insulting to the gentlemen!! "

When Li Puppet made such a fuss, the scholars with him immediately echoed loudly.

Sun Jie, who was not noticed because he was too tanned in the night, was also impassioned for a while, and wanted to rush out to join this group of people, but Sun Zhongli desperately pressed him down.

This group of poor scholars who have repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations and only talk on paper, since they were kicked out of the governor's mansion, their lives have become more miserable, so they complained even more about the injustice of the heavens, and that they were underappreciated. The drama of waking up alone.

Chu Shao didn't want to talk to him, but the more the puppet Li scolded, the worse it sounded, and it seriously delayed the progress of the officers and soldiers in evacuating the civilians.

"Everyone, don't listen to the command of the disaster star, he is harming us! In my opinion, we should hide in the house and not come out now! That bandit will never attack the city! He just wants to pretend to ask the prince to claim credit That's all!"

"How can I be dispatched by a Qizhou Nanman in my vast and vast country, please be sober!"

"Suizhou has been peaceful for decades, but after you came, the bandits dared to attack the city. First they brought down Nanqi, and now they come to harm my land of Zhongqin! He is a disaster star! A disaster star!!"

"The subjugated pariah, the male favorite who survived by wagging his tail and begging for mercy on the prince's bed, dares to give orders to us and other Qingliu people, Chu Qingxu, what can you do?!"

"That group of bandits likes a handsome boy like you, you should go out of the city to dedicate yourself, and show yourself to someone like this God of Salvation!"

As soon as the words fell, a plum blossom arrow shot through Li Puppet's throat in public, and the blood spattered the faces of the two scholars next to him.

Li Puppet froze, vomited blood, and fell head down.

Chu Shao straightened his sleeves, covered the sleeve arrow on his wrist, and said in a cold voice, "Dare to speak out to confuse people's hearts at the time of life and death, you should be killed."

He raised his eyes and lazily glanced at the swaying crowd below: "Who else wants to come and publish 'Warning Words'?"

If those two scholars had their tongues cut out in public, they didn't dare to fart.
