Chapter 114 Women's and Children's Meat Shield
After a little rest in the afternoon, Xiao Tianjian once again ordered to start the siege of the city. A large number of Xing Tianjun began to rush towards Jingzhou City again. At this time, there were some discarded long ladders under the city, which were shot by the defenders and ignited at the foot of the wall.
The outside of the city was basically swept to the ground by the Xingtian Army. A large number of members of the Xingtian Army rushed to the bottom of the city again under the shield and shields. At this time, a group of women suddenly appeared on the wall. Driven by the soldiers under Zuo Liangyu's command, they were driven to the city wall in rows. Above.
Xiao Tianjian was observing the movement of the defenders on the wall with a telescope at this time. When he saw this situation, the blue veins on his forehead suddenly burst out and almost fell the telescope to the ground. This sudden situation made all the people and horses a little confused. The artillery mouths were aimed, and the officer's mouth was wide, but I didn't dare to shout out.
The fireman raised the bird in a row and aimed at the head of the city, but the officer did not dare to order fire, but the rest of the soldiers did not stop and continued to rush to the foot of the city wall.
A large number of Zuo Liangyu's men hid behind these women and began to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city from the gap between women and children. At the same time, all kinds of fire and three-eyed arrows also began to fight under the city in turn.
The attacking troops that suddenly lost their gunfire cover were beaten like this. Even if many soldiers fell down, the offensive they had just organized would be contained.
"Order to retreat!" Xiao Tianjian almost squeezed these words out of his teeth.
If this kind of thing is put on others, it may not be a problem at all. As long as you stand on the wall, you can only be treated as an enemy. However, there are regulations on the discipline of the Xingtian Army very early on that civilians and surrender soldiers are not allowed in the war. These regulations can be used among the generals of the Xingtian Army. It is said that a deep-rooted idea has been formed. In a situation like today, they rarely encountered it before. At most, they met the officers who drove the male strong men in the city to help them defend. But in that case, Xing Tianjun could fire and shoot him, but they didn't expect that today, Zuo Liangyu, a despicable and shameless bastard, actually put the city. The women and children caught up with the city wall and served as the raft and human shields of his officers and soldiers.
Many people on Xing Tianjun's side immediately figured out why Zuo Liangyu did this! If they continue to shoot guns to attack the city, these women and children will become the target of the first row of slaughter. In this era, it is impossible to shoot accurately. With the artillery and fire of this era, it is impossible to do it. If these women and children are killed, then it is equivalent to being fooled by Zuo Liangyu! It happened to let the generals under Zuo Liangyu in the city see that Xing Tianjun loved the people, just talking about it! In this way, I'm afraid it will arouse the hatred between the defenders in the city, which will unite the military heart for them! Therefore, when this situation occurs, all the soldiers and generals are afraid of rats for a while, and they have no idea for a while.
Looking at the swarming of generals, they were furious and scolded Zuo Liangyu for being nothing. Xiao Tianjian could only smile bitterly. To be honest, it is not surprising that Zuo Liangyu did so. There are really many people who did this in the history of world war, and this is indeed a very effective way to stop the enemy's attack, as long as it is The one who represents justice cherishes the people, so he dares not easily shoot these women and children. Otherwise, he may win the war and finally lose the hearts of the people.
Looking at the excited generals under the account, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand, stopped the shouting of the crowd, and said, "Today, the left thief came up with such a way, which was also beyond my expectation. Don't be impatient!
Today's siege will come to an end for the time being! Each department will take a rest and prepare to fight again tomorrow. I'm going to discuss this matter in the long way!"
Only then did the generals get out of their orders angrily and began to arrange the collection and deployment of troops. When the left army in the city saw the Xing Tianjun throwing a rat taboo weapon and did not dare to bombard the city again, when they swept away the decline, they shouted and scolded loudly at the city, one by one arrogant and did not know what to do.
Even some bastard soldiers under Zuo Liangyu simply pulled off their trousers and took out the guys below to pee in the city to insult the Xingtian army outside the city. Even some artillery in the city that had been beaten so hard to show their heads was put on the wall by them, forcing the women and children to surround their fire. Gun, began to fire outside the city.
There are also some scoundrels. They even began to strip some young women naked in public, pressed them on the wall on the spot, and raped them. They also stripped some women naked and forced them to stand on the wall, facing the Xing Tianjun outside the city, and wantonly insulting them.
Some women couldn't stand such insults. They hit the wall and fell to death at the foot of the wall. Some women were killed by Zuo Liangyu's soldiers in public because they resisted the insults of Zuo Liangyu. They even tied them to wooden shelves, cut off their hands and feet, and watched them scream. Cry until the blood is dry and death.
The Xingtian army under the city and even the people who came with the army to help the war were all looking at the cracked fingers. They jumped their feet and scolded the officers and soldiers in the city that they were not human, but they stared, but did not dare to fight back against the city. They could only watch the arrogance of the left army in the city.
Xiao Tianjian also saw it in his eyes. He was angry in his heart and clenched his fists tightly. He even scolded Zuo Liangyu. He knew that if it went on like this, it would seriously affect their morale for the generals under his subordinates, and he must make a decision as soon as possible.
Li Xin and other staff officers also grit their teeth with hatred, but they can't think of any good way for a while. This battle can't be fought, and it can't be fought. If Zuo Liangyu does this, they really don't have a good way.
But Zuo Liangyu is happy in the city now, scolding himself for being too stupid. Why didn't he think of using this method earlier? Didn't Xiao Xingtian claim that he wanted to oppose the imperial court and save the world? Now I put women and children in front of you. If you have the ability, you will kill them! Haha!
Zuo Liangyu was in high spirits and ordered to continue to search for women and children in the city. He was escorted to the city wall and drove them to the city wall at any time to see what Xing Tianjun could do!
The difference in military discipline of Zuo Liangyu can be said to be the best among the officers and soldiers. This time, Zuo Liangyu forced the men around Jingzhou to join the army. While following him, his bandits also robbed a lot of young women outside the city to join the army as their playthings, so in addition to a large number of soldiers and horses gathered in the city. In addition, there are many innocent women who have been humiliated by them in the city, so Zuo Liangyu really doesn't lack materials when doing this.
And with the effect of this move, the generals under Zuo Liangyu also swept away the decline and regained their morale. They began to become arrogant one by one. Unexpectedly, they began to light bonfires on the wall all night, holding the women and drinking and having fun on the wall.
This night, not many people in Xing Tianjun outside the city could sleep. On the one hand, they grited their teeth with hatred, and on the other hand, there was no good way to deal with Zuo Liangyu's immoralness.
And Xiao Tianjian sat alone in the tent. Listening to the noisy noise of the left army in the city, he almost didn't close his eyes all night. The next morning, Xiao Tianjian ordered to continue to prepare for the siege. The departments of the Xing Tianjun arrayed outside the city again early. After Xiao Tianjian looked outside the city for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said After the order went down, the whole army was silent and was not allowed to make another sound, while he turned over his horse and grabbed a copper horn from his men. No one was allowed to follow him. He rushed to the north wall of Jingzhou City and rushed to dozens of steps outside the wall of Jingzhou City before he pulled the rein.
Seeing Xiao Tianjian rushing to the gate alone, Xing Tianjun was stunned, and their hearts were raised to their throats. However, Xiao Tianjian had orders first, so they were not allowed to make a noise, and those guards were also ordered not to follow him. The iron head was so anxious that he bit his steel teeth, but he did not dared to rebel. Xiao Tianjian's order could only watch Xiao Tianjian take risks alone and galloped towards the city.
And the left army on the city also saw Xiao Tianjian rushing to the gate alone at this time. They were quite curious about whether the general of Xing Tianjun was crazy? It was impossible that he was about to attack the city alone, so he stopped the noise for the time being and stared at the bottom of the city. Some people even thought that maybe the thieves could not do it. They wanted to explain a few words on the scene, and then retreated, so they didn't feel much nervous.
After Xiao Tianjian approached the gate, he raised the huge copper horn in his hand, was full of breath, and roared at the wall, "The villagers and sisters in the city have heard it! Next is the Xiao Xingtian you know, and Xiao Tianjian is also! ......”
When people in the city heard this, they couldn't help but look at the legendary figure carefully. Since the rise of Xing Tianjun in Henan, the three words Xiao Xingtian in the north and south of the Yangtze River can be said to be a god. Some people say that Xiao Xingtian is a good man, while others say that Xiao Xingtian is a three-headed and six-armed person. Monsters eat human flesh every day, but most people would rather believe that Xiao Tianjian is a good person. Today, when they saw the general rushing under the city, they were all very surprised after the legendary Xiao Xingtian. After seeing it, they were really tall and powerful and majestic, which made people feel convinced. For a moment, even Zuo Liangyu's subordinates forgot to shoot Xiao Tianjian with arrows.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the city, pointing to Xiao Tianjian under the city. Even the left army wanted to hear what this legendary figure came to the city alone today to say.
Xiao Tianjian held up the copper horn and then breathed. He shouted, "Listen to the villagers and sisters in the city! Although Zuo Liangyu is a court official, he doesn't want to love the people. He really deserves to die! I, Xiao, came here today to walk for heaven and kill this for the people of the world!
And the left thief took you as a shield and tried to stop Xiao from attacking the city. Xiao had no choice but to say sorry to you! After Xiao captures Jingzhou City, he will definitely collect the remains for you and bury you! And build an ancestral temple for you to ensure that the incense continues! Today, I, Xiao, came here in person and pleaded guilty to you!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Tianjian actually turned over and got off his horse. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to the city. It was not until this time that Zuo Liangyu's men realized that something was wrong. Xiao Xingtian was about to make up his mind to attack the city, so some soldiers immediately shouted: "Come on! Shoot the arrow and kill the thief chief! Come here and kill him! ......”
