Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 175 You are allowed to resist stubbornly
Outside Guangnan City, Zhu Zhen asked someone to use a loudspeaker to shout to the people in the city.

Zhu Chu asked people to spread the news to the ears of the whole city that Nong Zhenyou had rebelled, was killed for his crimes, had his head taken, and even the whole army was destroyed.

At the same time, Zhu Zhen also asked people to state the cause and effect of the battle, which was because the [-] strong men rebelled with Nong Zhenyou and resisted to the death, so they were wiped out.

Now give the people of the city a choice. You can continue to resist stubbornly, but once the city is defeated, don't say that I didn't tell you, I will massacre the city.

Since the whole city of you has rebelled, there is no need to be polite. How to treat rebels is how to treat them normally.

Zhu Zhen was not anxious at all. He sat on the horse and waited quietly.

They had set out from Qiubei County in the morning and traveled all day and night before arriving here.

Time passed slowly, from morning, to afternoon, and even to evening.

The people responsible for shouting have been replaced one after another, and many people's voices have been hoarse. Even the battery of the loudspeaker has been empty several times, and there is no way to charge it, so I have to buy several new ones.

"Don't say that I don't have a kind heart, let alone that I don't be polite first and then attack." Zhu Zhen sneered and shouted: "The whole army is attacking the city. Tonight, I will light the biggest bonfire in the city. .”

Zhu Chu was originally full of hatred for Nong Zhenyou. Eighty thousand wolf soldiers were such a powerful force. If Zhu Chu was allowed to take them to the battlefield in Southeast Asia in the future, how many cities would it be enough to destroy?

In the end, it was a pity that Nong Zhenyou was consumed internally because of his ambition.

And it has to be said that Nong Zhenyou put huge pressure on Zhu Zhen this time. These [-] wolf soldiers are indeed brave, but it is a pity that they followed the wrong master.

Now seeing that the people in the city were resisting so tenaciously, Zhu Min said with admiration: "Since they want to die and follow their chieftain to the death, then let them do it."

Zhu Chu has already made murderous intentions. Do you really think he dare not massacre the city?
Keeping these guys will be a disaster in the future. Since they are hidden dangers in the future, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

So nearly 3 troops began to prepare.

Mu Sheng also personally took people to the nearby mountains and forests to cut down trees to make ladders.

Unfortunately, the technology of siege vehicles is a bit complicated and cannot be easily manufactured casually.

"Prepare some more javelins, even just tree branches," Zhu Zhen suddenly reminded Mu Sheng.

With Zhu Chu's terrifying power, the javelin he threw could easily fly up to the top of the city, or even fly into the city, which was a great deterrent.

Mu Sheng immediately understood. He had also heard that some native tribes like to prepare many javelins when they fight. They often throw a few rounds of javelins before attacking a city, and they can suppress the defenders on the wall until they cannot lift their heads.

What's more, when he was guarding Kunming City, he was suppressed by the native troops under Silun Fa. Now he has a chance to take revenge.

The defenders on the city wall saw that the Ming army under the city was really planning to take action, but the chieftain and the large troops leaving the city that they had been waiting for had not yet come back for reinforcements. Slowly, they began to panic.

Could it be that the chieftain's entire army was really wiped out?
"Slow down, Prince of the Ming Dynasty, please calm down," an old man's figure suddenly appeared on the city wall, shouting there.

Zhu Zhen smiled. An old man standing at such a high place is condescending to me, right?

So Zhu Zhen was completely unmoved, just looking at the people on the wall indifferently, thinking fiercely in his heart, just wait, as long as I break through the city gate, what awaits you will be a massacre.

When the old man saw that Zhu Chu didn't even bother to speak anymore, he felt even more frightened and anxious. He quickly said to the people around him: "Open the city gate quickly."

"Ah? But the chieftain said at the beginning that no one is allowed to open the city gate unless he comes back in person to call for it," the defender said.

The old man stamped his feet and beat his chest and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, do you really want all the people in our city to be slaughtered? After the chieftain left, there were several defenders left behind. Don't I know? You don't With 100 people, how can we resist the siege of more than 3 Ming troops? Open the city gate quickly, and if the chief comes back to ask questions, I will take the responsibility. I am his uncle."

It turns out that this old man has a high status and is actually the uncle of Nong Zhenyou. His words now carry a lot of weight.

Finally, the defenders' attitude relaxed.

With a "click-click" sound, the thick city gate of Guangnan City was finally opened.

Immediately afterwards, the old man who had just appeared on the top of the city, escorted by two defenders, hurried to Zhu Chu's position outside the city.

The poor old man was also very old, but he was trotting over all the way with his head covered in cold sweat.

"Prince Ming Dynasty, please forgive me. You can't kill all the people in my city. We have been canonized by the Emperor Ming Dynasty. We are the people of Ming Dynasty." The old man seemed to have some knowledge and kept shouting, saying that they were the sons of Ming Dynasty. civil.

But before he could reach Zhu Ming, he was naturally intercepted by the former army.

It wasn't until Zhu Chu sent someone to give permission that someone escorted them to Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming sneered. This time it was his turn to ride on horseback and look down at the old man.

"What are you shouting randomly over there?" Zhu Zhen asked calmly, while turning his head to look into the distance. In the woods, Mu Sheng and the soldiers were still making ladders in full swing.

Mu Sheng was young and energetic, and he had guarded Yunnan with his father Mu Ying for many years. He hated the natives, especially those who dared to rebel.

So when Zhu Chun said he wanted to massacre the city, Mu Qiu and Wang Fu both couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade Zhu Chun.

Only Mu Sheng agreed with it with both hands.

Mu Sheng did not want to take credit, he did not disdain to do so. He just believed that these evil people were ungrateful. In this case, it would be useless if they were not punished with thunderous means.

Then just kill him.

The old man also saw the preparations of Mu Sheng and others. He knew that there were less than a hundred defenders in the city now. Once the Ming army finished building the ladder and began to attack the city, they would probably be able to break through the city wall in the blink of an eye, open the city gate, and rush in with the whole army. Enter the city.

When that time comes, all the people in the city will die, and even this ancient city will be burned to the ground.

So the old man quickly said: "Prince Daming, you can't do this. There must be some misunderstanding here, yes, it is a misunderstanding."

Zhu Chu was so angry that he laughed: "Misunderstanding? Are you talking about the misunderstanding that Nong Zhenyou raised [-] troops to rebel? Are you talking nonsense here? Or are you playing with me like a child?"

Zhu Chu's anger made the old man feel as if he was being looked down upon by a lion and tiger, and he was so frightened that he shivered all over.

Zhu Chu's momentum was achieved by fighting among thousands of armies, and he had experienced battles more than once and went into battle to kill the enemy in person more than once.

As soon as this energy came out, not to mention the old man, even the two strong men around him were frightened.

"Nong Zhenyou dares to rebel, which is a capital crime. I gave the remaining wolf soldiers a chance to surrender before, but they didn't cherish it and could only eliminate them all."

"To be honest, Nong Zhenyou's [-] troops are still very threatening, but I am more skilled and used a little trick to trick him into the city and kill him. Otherwise, even though I have [-] troops, I will not be able to defeat him. Wipe them all out in the open."

"But if you take a closer look, there are thousands of cavalry mounts in my army that were captured from your wolf soldiers. You should know this, right?"

"You don't have any luck and think I'm deceiving you when I say I wiped out Nong Zhenyou's entire army? Huh?"

Zhu Ming scolded again and pointed at the cavalry troops. Among them, there were thousands of horses who were the cavalry subordinates of Nong Zhenyou before.

The old man might not recognize it, but the accompanying defenders around him did, and their eyes widened suddenly with shock on their faces.

"The chief, the whole army was really destroyed?" a man shouted.

The old man was shaken again and again. It really makes people worry that he may have suffered from cerebral thrombosis, right?

Zhu Ming glanced at the three of them again and said: "You go back, continue to close the city gate tightly and defend the city. It doesn't matter, I am too lazy to accept your surrender now. I will capture this city by myself. At that time, I will keep my word."

"What do you mean by what you say?" the old man asked subconsciously, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. Now he didn't know whether it was because he was tired or frightened.

It's pity that he is an old man in his 60s and [-]s. He still has to climb up to the top of the city, and then he has to come down and jog to get in front of Zhu Zhen. This whole process may cost him a few years of his life.

As a result, before he could finish thinking about this, Zhu Zhen snorted and said, "Of course it's a massacre of the city. Do you think I am scaring you?"

Zhu Zhen was shocked. What kind of brain circuits do these people have?They are rebelling. They do not cherish the opportunity given to them. It is equivalent to the whole city rebelling.

Which of the rebels is not one of the nine tribes implicated?

Even if Zhu Chu really slaughters the city, there is no problem at all. Even if the spoils reach the court, the civil and military officials will applaud him and not think that he is too murderous.

What are you thinking about?After the city is broken, the city will really be massacred. With a 'pop' sound, the old man knelt down, with cold sweat falling like rain on his face, and shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, we don't dare to rebel, we don't dare to rebel. It's Nong Zhenyou , it was that little beast who forced everyone to rebel. Since you have killed him, please spare us. We have already opened the city gate and invite the prince to enter the city."

The old man was really frightened.

How can there be enough power in the city to resist the Ming army's siege? By then, the entire city will be wiped out, and all life will be reduced to ashes.

He didn't hesitate to speak and called Zhu Zhen "His Royal Highness" indiscriminately.

Zhu Zhen sneered and ignored it.

The old man was so anxious that he couldn't even speak and didn't know what to say. He knelt there and started kowtowing "bang bang".

But even so, Zhu Zhen remained unmoved.

"Your Highness?" Mu Qiu came over, glanced at the old man unbearably, and whispered to Zhu Zhen: "Don't you want to pacify the entire Yunnan area as soon as possible? If you don't really intend to massacre the city, why do you do this? "

Zhu Chu glanced sideways at Mu Qiu, knowing that although she was heroic on the battlefield, she was killing enemies like a fool.

But usually this girl is still very kind, including when she is inside the palace, she is polite to Wang Fu and even the palace guards, and never puts on airs.

Even Wang Fu initially said that Mu Qiu could not be a princess and could not give her a status, but now he silently regards her as a princess and does not dare to be rude at all.

but.

"Didn't you see that the two wolf soldiers are still standing? Do they have any intention of obeying? Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu, he said that if I blindly show kindness to women, it will only be considered weak. Why don't you understand? Sometimes, your kindness will become a reason for others to bully you. If we are defeated, my head will be hung on the city wall, and then they will sing and dance," Zhu Zhen He also touched his neck with his hand, as if asking Mu Qiu, do you really want to see my head hanging on the city wall?
Mu Qiu stared at Zhu Ming with his eyes widened and his face turned pale. He suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted with an angry face: "Kill, we must kill them all."

Maybe it was because the deception and trap to kill Nong Zhenyou went too smoothly, and Zhu Zhen had previously entered the enemy army like an unparalleled enemy.

This made Mu Qiu overlook one thing. Zhu Chu's attitude towards Nong Zhenyou was extremely cautious at the beginning, and he even planned to evade his edge and withdraw his troops.

It was because the entire city of Qiubei County completely surrendered in the face of pressure that Zhu Ming planned to use his strategy and finally defeated Nong Zhenyou.

When he thought that His Highness might be harmed by Nong Zhenyou, Mu Qiu finally put away his kindness.

These guys all deserve to be killed.

The old man also heard the conversation between the two, and quickly turned around and angrily scolded the two defenders behind him: "Do you really want to see all the young and old in our city killed? Don't you have any family members of your own?"

As soon as these words came out, the two wolf soldiers who were full of blood and would rather die than surrender were finally shocked and looked at Zhu Ming blankly.

The next second, they looked at each other and finally knelt down.

In fact, what Zhu Ming said is right. The Zhuang people are fierce and fierce. You can kill them, but you cannot let them be easily subdued. They have a posture that they would rather kill than humiliate.

At the same time, it also proves the loyalty and bravery of the Zhuang people. Once they agree to submit to someone, they will follow them to the death.

These people are stubborn and accept death. If you hold a knife to your neck, they would dare to stare at you and ask, "Do you dare to chop me?"If you want to cut it, cut it. It's up to you.

The main character is a desperate Saburo who is risking his life.

So even now, the two wolf soldiers are still unconvinced.

Zhu Ming looked deeply at the two strong men who finally knelt down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart again: "Damn Nong Zhenyou, eight hundred times is not too small for you to die, but it is a pity for those eighty thousand wolf soldiers. If you can conquer them Even if these wolf-like warriors are not used for rebellion, they can still play a big role in conquering Southeast Asian countries."

But fortunately, the Zhuang people are more distributed in Guangxi. Even if [-] wolf soldiers are destroyed, more wolf soldiers may be recruited.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen finally relaxed his tone a little and said to the three people including the old man: "Get up."

The old man stood up tremblingly with the help of two wolf soldiers. Looking at his forehead, he saw that it was already full of blood and his skin was torn.

This is on the land outside, and it is normal to have some gravel in the soil.

He didn't dare to cheat at all. When he kowtowed just now, it was so real that the land was compacted into a lot.

"You guys should go back to the city," Zhu Xi told the three of them.

The old man was dumbfounded. He was already kowtowing and begging for mercy. Could it be that Prince Ming still wanted to massacre the city?

Then I heard Zhu Ming say: "Go back and convey my words to all the people in the city to come outside the city. I cannot trust you, and I dare not enter the city easily like this. So you come out and accept my conquest. Accept your submission outside the city."

"Of course, I still allow you to resist stubbornly. I will only wait for an hour. If you don't leave the city after an hour, then I will attack the city. And if anyone dares to stay in the city after an hour, , the whole family was slaughtered, no one was left alive."

"Go."

Then, Zhu Chu asked people to drive the three people away.

Zhu Chu himself lured Nong Zhenyou into a pit in the city and killed him. He also dug a hole in the city so that Nong Zhenyou did not dare to go deep and could only be blocked at the gate of the city. Not only did he block the army behind him, but also They will be attacked from both sides by the Ming army.

So how could Zhu Chu easily enter the city? If the people in the city suddenly rioted, that would be a big threat.

The main reason is that Zhu Zhen is reluctant to let his soldiers make mistakes, especially the [-] troops, each one of which is his treasure.

Zhu Zhu knew very well that Lao Zhu was watching him, and there was a second or fifth guard in Dali City behind him. If the troops suffered losses, Lao Zhu would know immediately if he wanted to recruit troops.

Now is not the time to recruit troops and prepare for rebellion.

In this way, Zhu Zhen was ready to give Guangnan City another hour to surrender.

However, during this period, Mu Sheng's side was still making preparations for building ladders. They even built fifty ladders in one go. Once a siege was launched, the army could set up ladders from fifty positions to climb the city wall.

Once the city wall is captured, you can immediately attack the city and even open the city gate.

At that time, the army can march forward, and even the cavalry can launch a charge.

Don't think that cavalry can only exert its advantage on open plains. Think about how much of a threat a horse will pose to pedestrians when it gallops on the street.

Once a cavalry unit gallops through the city, no one will dare to stop it.

An hour in ancient times was two hours.

Because in ancient times, time was calculated based on the twelve earthly branches, that is, the twelve zodiac signs.

So twelve hours are 24 hours in a day.

Two hours of waiting is still a long time.

The sky also slowly darkened.

It's late December in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, and it's getting darker earlier.

Zhu Ming raised his head, glanced at the sky, and murmured: "It hasn't snowed yet this year, has it?"

"Actually, it has snowed in other places, including after we left Dali, it also snowed in Dali," Wang Fu replied.

"Did this snow fall to hide from me?" Zhu Ming scolded with a smile.

Wang Fu also smiled, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, if the people refuse to surrender, do you really want to massacre everyone?"

Zhu Zhen glanced at Wang Fu.

There is no doubt about Wang Fu's ability, and he is definitely a brave and capable warrior.

But Wang Fu came out of it with Zhu Zhen, and he was not as enlightened as Mu Sheng and Mu Chun. Maybe Wang Fu still regards the people in this city as the people of the Ming Dynasty, right?

Zhu Ming smiled and said: "How did they ever regard themselves as people of the Ming Dynasty? If they want to rebel, just rebel. What's the point of leaving them? Again, if they are willing to follow the Ming Dynasty and me loyally, I will take them away Only by treating them as subjects can we let them live a good life. Otherwise, this king will only avoid future troubles forever."

At this moment, Mu Qiu shouted softly: "Come out, the people are coming out."
