Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 265
"Could it be..." Zhu Su and Zhu Di looked at each other.Both brothers felt a little bad.

"Could it be what?" At this time, Zhu Xi, who had just come out of the tower, was still in a daze, only to see the two younger brothers, Zhu Su and Zhu Di, rushing out in one stride.When Zhu Su and Zhu Di stepped onto the city wall, they saw a crying soldier who was dragged down by guard Cao Yuan. The rest of the soldiers all shook their eyes and looked out of the city with a look of unbearable expression.

"It's the people who haven't had time to escape into the city..." Zhu Di murmured while looking outside the city. "Should have thought of it earlier."

"Hmm..." Zhu Su also bit his lip.The Japanese pirates have no conscience, and it is actually normal to use this method of attacking the city.The reason why the common people are allowed to enter the city to take refuge temporarily is to prevent such a situation.

It's just that after all, I still have some hopes for Zhang Li, hoping that he can still care about the friendship between his compatriots, so he doesn't want to think about it.

But he forgot that there is nothing that cannot be used by such a desperate careerist.

The thousand or so people under the city gradually approached, they were within an arrow's reach, within reach of their bows and arrows, and then they stopped.From the city tower, it can be seen that those people are indeed ordinary people. Most of them are wearing coarse linen clothes, and there are even old and weak women and children, all of whom are crying.Dozens of Japanese people straddled Japanese swords at their waists, holding long whips and shouting in their mouths.Almost without looking at it, the whip slammed down on the weeping people.

Cao Yuan looked at Zhu Su, saw that Zhu Su's face was ugly, but he didn't intend to urge him to release the arrow, he hesitated for a while, and then he didn't order to release the arrow.

"Listen to the guards on the city!" Under the city, among the Japanese who were driving away the people, a Han voice came out.

"These people are all the people of your Suzhou! Some of them are your dear relatives and friends!"

"According to Zhu Ming's law, if you kill people indiscriminately, you will not escape punishment."

"But if you capture Zhu Su's son and open the city gate, you will not only be reunited with relatives and friends, but you will also be rewarded by the Marquis of Gold and Silver!"

"Wait, do you want to kill your relatives, friends, and siblings with your own hands, and be blamed by Zhu Ming's puppet court, or open the door to dedicate the city to eat and drink spicy food?"

"Think about it yourself!"

Under the city wall, there were a few sounds of shouting, cursing and whipping, and the cries of nearly a thousand people suddenly became louder, and their slow pace also accelerated a little.

"..." On the city tower, the Suzhou guards suddenly became agitated.Indeed, several people looked towards Zhu Su. Zhu Su's eyes were swept away like a cold lightning, and the sergeants immediately retracted their eyes.

"Don't listen to them! Take your positions!" Cao Yuan, the guard of the city wall, shouted an order with his heart broken.

The soldiers were obedient, but their hands and feet were no longer as neat as before.Although no one really dared to come up to capture Zhu Su, it is a fact that the morale of the army has fluctuated.

"Your Highness." Di Meng quickly raised his shield to protect the three lords behind him, fearing that these Suzhou guards would be unfavorable to Zhu Su and others. "The morale of the army is floating, these beasts and thieves actually use the common people to attack the city... What can we do now?"

"What else? It's just some common people." Only Zhu Xi looked disdainful. "Are there still Japanese pirates that are difficult to deal with?"

"Second brother, don't talk about it." Zhu Di knew that Zhu Su didn't like to hear this, so he stopped Zhu Xi's words: "Old five, this is a common method used by those grassland aliens."

"The solution is not difficult. As long as the commander gives the order first, the soldiers will naturally have no scruples..." He said and looked at him hesitantly.

"Fourth brother, I know." Zhu Su frowned and was speechless.Although Zhu Xi and Zhu Di are elder brothers, among the three, he is the only one who holds a real post.If it is said that the coach should give the order, he is the one who will do his part.

Although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he could also distinguish between priorities.

"What I'm worried about is, Jun Xin..."

The example of grassland warfare mentioned by Zhu Di is also different from this one.In the past dynasties, most of the troops used to fight against the grasslands were drawn from other places.Therefore, when the barbarians used this method, the defenders often only cared about whether the court would punish them, and they would have no worries after receiving the assurance from the coach.

The situation in Suzhou is rather special.The elite soldiers of the Suzhou Guard were transferred to Pingyunnan by the former commander, Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin. Now these soldiers are mostly filled by Yang Lu in the local area.Born and raised here, among the common people in the city, it is hard to guarantee that there will be someone who is related to them.

It's fine to do it yourself, I don't have much foundation in Suzhou Wei, if I do it myself, the soldiers will not bear to do it, or they will directly mutiny...

"Cao Yuan." Zhu Su summoned the guard Cao Yuan who was still close to him. "Let the people under your command stand on the front line. If these people attack the city ruthlessly... the king will give an order at that time, so there is no need to hold back."

Those people under Cao Yuan were all soldiers. In the previous battle against Zhang Ren, these people acted extremely decisively in order to show their hearts.In Zhu Su's mind, they were more trustworthy than those soldiers under Yang Lu.

"Yes." Cao Yuan didn't hesitate at all, and was about to turn around to make arrangements, when the repeated voice from under the city shouted again.Even some peasants in the city at the root of the city wall heard the shouting.

"Listen to the beasts outside the city!" Zhu Su was extremely irritable, and his brain became hot, and he shouted loudly.

"You are Han Chinese, but you cooperate with the Japanese to oppress your compatriots."

"This is an act of a traitor! How dare you shout it out loud! Didn't your parents teach you to be shameless!"

"I've never seen such a brazen person!"

The voice under the city froze, and sure enough, it was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Listen up, soldiers and civilians in Suzhou!" Zhu Su simply turned around, and stated his interests to the soldiers and civilians in the city:

"This king knows that you are waiting. There are people who admire King Cheng and think that the thief outside the door is the son of King Cheng. He will definitely not kill you indiscriminately."

"Now can you see it? What is the son of King Cheng, that Zhang Li is just a gangster who collaborated with the Japanese and killed my Chinese compatriots!"

"He worked hand in hand with the Japanese. Over the years, they pretended to be Japanese, burned, killed, and looted. They have already lost their conscience! You admire Cheng Wang Huizheng, but he only thinks about the glory and wealth of the past!"

"Think about that yellow nest! If such thieves break through the city wall, will they give you a way out?"

The story of Huang Chao has been spread in the city for a long time, and some soldiers and civilians who were hesitant in their hearts were shocked when they heard this.yes!What is the difference between Zhang Li using the common people as vanguards to attack the city, and Huang Chao who let the army eat people?
But it's all for their own glory and wealth, and they treat the common people as props and two-legged sheep!

"Don't worry about guarding the city! All the crimes and karma will be borne by this king!" Zhu Su seized the opportunity and shouted. "If the city wall is broken, the whole city will be plundered by Japanese pirates! You should concentrate on defending the city! If you defend this city, this king will give you a lot of rewards!"

"Listen to the people in the city! It's not the king and the soldiers who are going to kill you, but Zhang Li's bandits and Japanese are going to kill you!"

"It's fine for the old and the weak. If men still have strength, don't be afraid of dozens of pirates. Why don't you turn around and show your integrity!"

"This king will take care of the orphans for you, and also set up a monument for your righteous deeds today, and want you to live forever!"

Under the city, among the group of people, there were indeed bursts of noisy voices.The Japanese who escorted them kept waving their whips in an attempt to stabilize the situation.

"My lord is right! Confucius said to achieve benevolence, and Meng said to achieve righteousness! Although my generation has no power to restrain a chicken and kill a thief, how can I attack a city for a thief?" Among the people, a man who looked like a scholar raised his voice. Shout out. "The thieves are only dozens of people, we killed them together!"

"Baga! Road!" A Japanese bandit was furious, and pulled out the Japanese sword from his waist. With the flash of the sword, the scholar suddenly lost his head.

"Killed! Killed! The pirate killed!!" More than a thousand people were in chaos.
