The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1133: Weird Siege
Everyone's eyes sparkled. Li Zhu said excitedly, "As you know, my Taishan family has more than ten people. These ten people live on twenty acres of land. My brother-in-law has to leave his hometown to work as a handyman in a restaurant in the county town to make a living."

"This time, according to the Turkic policy, they can get more than 100 mu of land. With this 100 mu of land, my brother-in-law can also marry a wife and go home to live."

Li Zhu was selfish. He had a large family and lived a tight life with more than 40 mu of thin land. Because of the poor life, he had two sons who were still unmarried in their twenties.

When he heard the news that night, he couldn't believe it, so he went back to Donghe Village with his brother-in-law. He saw with his own eyes that the Turks distributed the land from the nobles to each villager piece by piece.

Every villager who got the land was so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they were full of gratitude to the Turks.

Li Zhu saw that Lao Taishan's family was allocated 130 acres of land, such a large piece of land. His father-in-law and mother-in-law knelt in the land that belonged to them and cried their hearts out.

Li Zhu was jealous and calculated in his heart that there were more than 20 people in his family, young and old.

If the Turks could capture Yi County, his family would be able to get more than 200 acres of land.

On the one hand, he could fight the Turks to death, die on the battlefield, and then get a pitiful pension; on the other hand, he could pretend to be a hero and get more than 200 acres of land from the Turks. As a commoner, he naturally knew what to choose.

Once you miss this opportunity, you may miss it for the rest of your life.

No, not in the next life either.

After two days of mental torment, he knew that if such news were spread, it would shake the soldiers' determination to defend the city, but he still couldn't help but spread the word for the Turks. But what made him feel a little relieved was that everyone seemed to be doing the same.

With this person who knew the inside story, the ten people who were angry with Li Zhu all rushed to say: "There are nine people in our family. If we divide it this way, we can get 90 acres of land."

"There are thirty people in our family. So, we can get three hundred acres?"

Another one said excitedly: "Three hundred acres of land! With so much land, our family will no longer have to worry about survival."

"Hey, there are only five people in my family, and so we can only get 50 acres. This is too unfair," said a person in the crowd dejectedly.

"Okay, fifty acres of land is good enough."

Wang Si looked disdainful and said, "The Turks give 10 mu of land to each person based on the number of people. It's because you have a small family and eat less."

"what do you know?"

The man's face flushed, and he said with regret: "I used to have three sisters, but they were given away because we had no land and could not support them. If the Turks had come last year, my three sisters would not have to be given away."

"Damn Turks, why didn't you come last year? Why didn't you come last year? My poor sister."

"Who told your family to favor boys over girls?"

Li Zhu knew that if the argument continued, everyone would be upset, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "However, my eldest brother-in-law also said that when the Turks divide the land, they must recite the ballad just now. If they can't recite it, they won't get it. I haven't been to school, so I was afraid that I couldn't remember it, so I asked my eldest brother-in-law several times."

"Fortunately, this ballad is very simple and catchy. I can remember it after listening to it a few times."

When they heard that it was related to the division of land, everyone became excited and asked Li Zhu to read it twice again. They also wanted to write it down. Whether they could use it or not was one thing, but if when the land was really divided, they missed this great opportunity because they couldn't recite it, wouldn't that be fatal?
Seeing the excited expressions of the crowd, Li Zhu was shocked. This move of the Turks was really powerful! If everyone had this mentality and was looking forward to the arrival of the Turks, would the city still be able to be defended? Not to mention 20,000 people, even 100,000 people would not be able to defend it?
We read it several times until everyone had memorized it.

Seeing a general coming to inspect not far away, Li Zhu said quickly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Do you know where the fields that the Turks got are from? They all belong to the rich masters. They will not let the Turks break into the city."

"I think that since Yi County has high walls and a moat, we can't conquer the 30,000 Turks on the other side. As long as we can hold on for two or three days, reinforcements will arrive from other places and the Turks will retreat."

"Once the Turks retreat, they might attack other cities. Okay, let's get down to business. We still have to defend the city. We must not let the Turks break in."

Well.
Li Zhu's words stunned everyone.

Yes, if the Turks cannot invade, those rich masters will not be able to defeat them, and the idea of ​​dividing the land will naturally not happen.

We are defending the city with our lives, but aren't we harming our own land?
Li Zhu raised everyone's expectations with just a few words, and then said two more words with obvious hints, which immediately made everyone's minds active. Everyone looked at the Turks who were howling and screaming below, and their eyes were shining again.

The only difference from before was that they were now looking forward to the Turks coming in. Some of the bow and arrow knives, the broadsword soldiers, those throwing radium stones, rolling logs, and even those guarding the burning gold juice, all had flashing eyes. Everyone looked at each other, and they all exchanged silent thoughts with deep meaning in their eyes, and understood each other's thoughts.

Even people like Wang Si thought to themselves that they must be careful when shooting arrows, and must not shoot anyone. What if the Turks used this as an excuse to deprive them of the right to share the land?
You killed someone else and still want them to give you some land. What the hell are you thinking?

Just like that, after a morning of fermentation and spread, the entire Yi County now knows what the Turks mean by dividing the land.

The hearts of the people in the entire city were silently changed by this strange action.

Before Zhuolibuhua and other generals left Ji County, Shi Luodie taught them three methods of attacking a city. The first was to sing ballads; the second was to shout slogans. After these inspiring tricks worked, they could mobilize the entire army to attack the city, which would surely be successful.

Zhuoli followed Shi Luodijiao's method meticulously, and when noon arrived, he immediately ordered the army to attack the city.

As trumpets and drums blew into the sky, a team of a thousand men carrying five hundred ladders rushed up.

When they arrived in front of the moat, they laid a plank on the river surface. Another team of a thousand people carried a lot of wooden boards and laid them on top. In a short while, dozens of passages for people to pass through were built on the two-meter-wide moat. In this way, a river was opened up.

Afterwards, the Turks rushed across the moat, lowered the drawbridge, and a large number of siege weapons began to approach the city.

Ma Chengliang and more than a dozen generals quickly urged the soldiers defending the city to start shooting arrows. At the same time, a small number of catapults and crossbows on the city walls also fought back.

A "tragic" offensive and defensive battle thus began.

However, after the battle, the accuracy of the nearly 10,000 defenders on the city was not very good. After several waves of arrows, the number of Turks killed was sparse. Even the rolling logs and radium stones that were used to block the ladders became inefficient.

Some soldiers even dropped stones on the ground while moving them, apparently hitting their feet.

The whole scene looked extremely strange. Ma Chengliang and other generals tried desperately to urge them, but the effect was very poor. Seeing the battle involving tens of thousands of people, the scene was also vigorous and fierce, but there were very few deaths. The Turks climbed up the city wall along the ladder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even after these Turks jumped off the city wall and hid, they were still somewhat in disbelief.

According to their experience, for a city like this, at least five or six thousand-man teams would have to die before they could possibly charge up the city wall. The few teams ahead of them were basically cannon fodder, mainly used to consume the enemy's resources.

Unexpectedly, the first thousand-man team actually attacked the city, so they did not dare to rush forward for a while, fearing that the Tang army was playing some tricks. In the past, after they climbed the city, they had to fight on the tower for a while and fight repeatedly.

Even the Turks were dumbfounded, and a dramatic scene appeared. As soon as they appeared, the Tang soldiers shouted, dropped their weapons, turned around and ran away.

In fact, those soldiers climbing the ladders are not the main force. They are just there to attract firepower for battering rams and battering rams. The real battle of breaking the city depends on them.

But who would have thought that those people were still pushing the ram hard.

Before the huge battering ram covered with thick cowhide crossed the drawbridge, thunderous cheers broke out on the battlefield. They looked up and saw teams of soldiers climbing up the city walls one after another along hundreds of ladders.

It was as if the defenders on the city did not exist. Those who were pushing the battering ram with all their might looked at it and thought, what the hell, what is the use of a battering ram?

Judging from the situation, by the time the battering ram was pushed to the city gate, the city would be captured. Everyone shouted, drew the scimitars from their waists, and rushed towards the ladders howling.

Zhuolibuhua and Lelitai were also shocked when they saw this. It was almost impossible for 30,000 people to attack a city of 100,000 people defended by 20,000 people. Zhuolibuhua also planned to return after losing 3,000 or 4,000 men.

Now, with only more than 3,000 people, they actually captured the city.

Originally they thought that the people of Yi County were playing some tricks, but when Ma Chengliang and others were all captured, the city gate was opened by their own people, and they indicated that it was safe inside, several leaders and captains could not believe it.

Zhuolibuhua even looked back at the soldiers who were setting up camp in the distance. If they continued like this, they would still need to set up camp, which would be a waste of time!

Finally, Zhuolibuhua reacted and said excitedly: "The Khan is wise. Everyone, this is the siege method the Khan gave us. I didn't expect it to be so effective. We only shouted for the whole morning."

"The once impregnable Yi County has become riddled with holes."
