Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 138

After Zhu Lingyun laughed, he fixed his eyes on Cao Yang and Jiao Yu.

Jiao Yu's face was pale and he was speechless.

Cao Yang pretended to be calm and said, "Why did the defense envoy say that?"

Zhu Lingyun didn't speak, hundreds of soldiers poured out from the streets and alleys, and rushed directly into Cao's mansion.

But for a moment, a scream was heard from inside.

Seeing that there was indeed an ambush, Zhu Lingyun was about to speak, but he saw that Cao Yang had already fled ten steps away.

Cao Yang instinctively ran away when the soldiers rushed into the house.

Zhu Lingyun unhurriedly took off the bow and arrow from the horse's back, pulled it to the full string, let go of his fingers, and the arrow shot straight through his chest.

When Jiao Yu saw Cao Yang running away, he also started running in the opposite direction to Cao Yang.

After Zhu Lingyun shot Cao Yang with an arrow, he rode his horse and chased after Jiao Yu.

Jiao Yu heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer, his feet went limp in fright, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Zhu Lingyun stepped on Jiao Yu's body, felt the soft flesh under the horse's hooves, and said viciously: "You ungrateful idiots, I knew from the beginning that you were just like those untouchables. Treated you badly? Looking forward to Master Wang? Ha, go underground and look forward to..."

"Come here, kill all the Cao and Jiao families, and leave no one behind! Take all their corpses out to patrol the streets, and I want all the rebels in the city to know that the territory of Shuzhou is surnamed Li. I still don't believe Guo."

Zhu Lingyun roared loudly, like a raging beast.

A wounded and critically ill beast, a powerless beast.

Shuzhou is his home, and Zhu Lingyun never imagined that in his hometown, he would fall into a situation where he was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Although today's killing can calm those people with ulterior motives, how can the defenders dare to accept the support of any gentry?

"asshole!"

Zhu Lingyun cursed, of course he knew who caused all this.

The guy outside the city hadn't attacked the city yet, but Zhu Lingyun already had the feeling that Shuzhou couldn't be defended.

On this day, Luo Youdu was analyzing the current situation in Huainan in the handsome tent, and suddenly got a report from Chang Side: "Commander Du, for some reason, many corpses were suddenly thrown from the tower of Shuzhou City."

Luo Youdu was slightly taken aback, and wondered: "Go, have a look!"

He said and strode out of the tent.

Zhang Qiong also followed behind him.

Whenever there is a war, Zhang Qiong, the capital head, will automatically be promoted to Luo Youdu's guard, always by his side.

Luo Youdu came out of the range of arrows near Shuzhou, and sure enough, he saw densely packed corpses not far from the city tower, piled up in one place, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.

What does it mean?
Could it be the plague?
biochemical weapon?

No, the formation of the plague requires certain factors.

It is usually a variety of prerequisites such as poor environment, rotting corpses and so on.

The siege battle has not yet started, and there was no vision in Shuzhou before, so how could there be a plague.

At this moment, soldiers came from the tower and shouted in unison: "Luo Youdu, I have seen through your small tricks, and all the people in the city should be wiped out. Don't retreat quickly, otherwise the corpses under the city will be your fate."

Luo Youdu suddenly understood the reason, paused, and said: "Chang Dutou, you bring some people up in the dark at night, carry the body back, and find a place to bury it."

Even though they were not their own internal agents, they also died because of their own strategies, and they couldn't bear their dead bodies in the wilderness.

Shi Shouxin also heard the movement, rode over and asked, "The person who arranged in advance?"

Luo Youdu shook his head, but said in his mouth, "That's right!"

Shi Shoudao: "Since the strategy doesn't work, let's attack directly. Shuzhou is not a fortified city like Shouzhou. The towers are not high. As long as you build more ladders, you can go directly to the city. From my experience, as long as you spend some manpower, Shuzhou is not difficult to fight."

Knowing that Luo Youdu has always cherished soldiers, he persuaded: "There is no one who will not die in this battle, especially when attacking a city, then you have to use a pile of people, there is no way."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Wait a little longer..."

He pointed to the distance of ten feet in front of him, and said: "This Shouzhou can't do anything. Little Shuzhou, can it be difficult to get me? I plan to build a mound here, and the mound will be built higher than the Shucheng tower. We The archers can use their advantages to throw arrows into the city and suppress their defenders. In this way, they can easily ascend the city, reduce casualties to a minimum, and be more sure of taking Shuzhou. From this, Zhu Lingyun can understand the fluctuations of people in the city, It can be seen that it is a person.”

"Since he is a character, there is no need to confront him head-on, let him taste the feeling of powerlessness!"

Shi Shouxin said in astonishment: "The Shuzhou city tower is certainly not high, but it is not easy to build a mountain of earth higher than the city tower. How can we do it with only ten thousand soldiers?"

Luo Youdu said instead: "Who said we only have [-]?"

Luo Youdu didn't explain much.

Shi Shouxin soon knew the answer.

When Fang Huizhen and Zhang Liangyu led the [-] Luzhou people to the front line with their own hoes and shovels, when Song Qi gathered the surrounding people in Shuzhou and came outside Shuzhou City.

Shi Shouxin was stunned!

Fifty thousand servants were pulled out in the opponent's territory, and no one ran away, there was no commotion, and there was no complaint.

Shi Shouxin has fought for so many years, but he has never seen such a scene.

Looking at the mighty "big army" in front of him, Luo Youdu smiled with some relief, looked at the shocked Shi Shouxin, and said: "Perhaps, people's hearts are the most worthless in this world, but...it is by no means useless."

Shi Shouxin didn't know what to say to respond.

Luo Youdu stretched out his palm and just grabbed it: "Zhu Lingyun on the opposite side is a character, and it's easy to guess our purpose. Their only way is to go out of the city to destroy the earth mountain when we are not paying attention, and limit the progress. Take your brother The cavalry is divided into four teams, and the [-] soldiers under Commander Wu are also divided into four teams. You cooperate on foot and cavalry, and take turns guarding the mound. If the opponent dares to go out of the city, he will directly attack him."

Shi Shouxin just came to his senses at this moment, and said in admiration, "Listen to brother."

Zhu Lingyun stared blankly at the mound in the distance, and there was no news of the rescue being sent out.

Zhu Lingyun had thought about going out of the city to destroy the mound many times, but when he watched the cavalry around the mound guarding him day and night, he knew that if he dared to go out to fight, Shuzhou would fall before the mound was completed.

During the six nightmarish days, Zhu Lingyun watched with his own eyes that the earth mountain in front of him gradually surpassed the Shuzhou city tower.

Desperate, helpless!
"It's time to attack!"

Luo Youdu on the other side gave the siege order in due course.

The exciting sound of war drums resounded.

On the dirt hill, five hundred archers set up their bows and shot arrows, and shot them towards the tower of Shucheng.

Raindrops of arrows fell on the tower.

The soldiers on the towers could only passively hold up their shields to defend, and they didn't care about the soldiers who climbed the city carrying ladders on their backs.
