Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 740 Siege
This is the fifth day when Shen Muyu sent Guo Cheng and other three people to stop Wen Guo's reinforcements, that is, the day when Shen Muyu released the news in the city and agreed to attack Xiaocheng with all his strength.

All the strategies that Shen Muyu used five days ago to ensure the success of the final siege have worked. First of all, the rumors spread by Xiao Ji and others in the city claimed that Wen Guo's reinforcements had been ambushed by Shen Guo. He was ambushed and will not come to rescue Xiaocheng again.The rumor swept across the entire city in just half a day, not only the people and the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but even the court officials and nobles were disturbed by the rumor and were greatly shaken.

Immediately afterwards, the Shen Guojun withdrew the siege in front of the east gate, and then the soldiers and civilians in the city received the news that the feather arrows had shot into the city. Under the harassment of rumors that their reinforcements had been defeated, many city guards, soldiers, and even some people in the court Low-level officials all had the idea of ​​escaping through the east gate.

What's more, several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were placed outside the east gate shortly thereafter. When the common people rushed out of the defense of the guarding soldiers and escaped from the east gate, they were rewarded with gold and silver. Let the soldiers guarding the city wall see Come to be extremely hot-eyed.

In this way, more and more people escaped from the east gate with their families and their mouths. The guards finally became tempted when they saw that everyone would get a lot of rewards for leaving the city.

Rumors that the reinforcements had been repelled were constantly circulating in the entire city. Coupled with the dazzling boxes of gold, silver and jewels outside the east gate, more and more people, officials, and soldiers broke through the east gate. He escaped from the city and took Shen Guo's gold, silver and jewels away from the city without being stopped by the soldiers who had no intention of guarding.

Xi Gaozhuo, who was in charge of guarding the city, naturally couldn't just watch the situation develop like this. Later, he had to send his own soldiers to guard the east gate to stop all the people and officers and soldiers who tried to escape, and told them that the reinforcements were repelled. Rumor has it that their reinforcements will arrive soon, and the city will definitely not fall.

But this had little effect. More and more people began to gather at the east gate, and even officials from the DPRK and China pretended to be people and mixed among them.The guarding soldiers on the city wall all lost their vigilance and fighting spirit. They gathered together in twos and threes to talk in low voices, and most of them were discussing how to escape together.

Xi Gaozhuo had no choice but to start a massacre in front of the east gate. He beheaded all the guarding soldiers, officials and their families who were caught in the middle of the night and hung up the bloody heads, finally deterred the people who wanted to flee. .

However, it was already the fifth day. Even if there were no more officers, soldiers and people trying to escape from the city, the people in the city were panicked and the defenders had no intention of fighting.

In the early morning of that day, with the waving of flags outside the city and the sound of war drums, all the soldiers of Shen State gathered outside the north city gate and began to attack the city with all their strength.

One of Shen Guojun's siege equipment is complete and the morale of the soldiers is high. On the other hand, the morale of the defenders of Xiaocheng is extremely low, and they have no fighting spirit at all.If it weren't for Xiaocheng being the capital of Yunguo, and the city's defenses were strong enough, the city would be destroyed if the defenders in the city couldn't hold out for half a day.

Even so, at dusk, Shen Guojun seemed about to break into the city.

At this critical moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly resounded. Whether it was the defenders of Xiaocheng on the top of the city or the Shen Guojun who was attacking the city, they all looked in the direction of the sound, and saw dust flying in the distance. The banner was swaying, but a big word "Wen" was unfurled.
