The scholar had no choice but to say: "The dragon embroidered on that flag with bright characters has five claws, and many of the people under the banner are dressed as eunuchs. I'm afraid it's His Majesty who came here in person."

Wang Zuogua's heart trembled, and he asked, "Is the emperor here in person? Damn it, I just killed an official to rebel, and if I survived, I just occupied a county town. Why did I provoke this murderous god?" "

To say that Wang Zuogua is not afraid is pure nonsense.

The land of Shaanxi was originally close to Shanxi, and it was also closer to the grassland. Who didn't know who didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen built more than ten Beijing temples on the grassland?

Even if they really don't know, the imperial edict issued by Emperor Chongzhen to the world after he conquered the grasslands in the north also made it very clear.

If such a murderous god suddenly surrounded the small Yichuan County with his cavalry, how could Wang Zuogua be right?

The scholar scorned Wang Zuohang without a trace, and secretly thought that he was also blind, so he voted for such a thing!The sage said, the big man Taishan collapsed in front of him and his color did not change. This Wang Zuogua is really muddy and cannot support the wall!

It's just that it's too late to regret it at this time. When the city was broken, I took refuge first, and helped Wang Zuo come up with a lot of ideas. For now, there is only one way to go to the dark.

After trying to cheer himself up, the scholar went on to say: "King Zuo has to make a decision early, otherwise, when the emperor under the city mobilizes the army and has the siege equipment, I'm afraid he really won't be able to leave."

Wang Zuohang pondered for a while, but was also speechless.He wanted to stick to the city and not get out, anyway, he was now the leader of the army, and he didn't have to go into battle, but on the other hand, he felt that he should break out of the siege quickly.

However, they went to get into Mangtou Mountain together to eat some grass roots and tree bark, and Wang Zuogua, who had lived in rich clothes and fine food for more than ten days, felt extremely heartbroken.

Before Wang Zuogua could make a decision, he heard the sound of horseshoes under the city, and one of the cavalry besieging the city came down to the city.

The knight looked towards the top of the city and shouted loudly: "People on the city listen carefully, Your Majesty has an order: You put down your swords and guns, open the city and surrender. Under his command, go overseas with His Royal Highness Tang Wang Shisun to found a country and establish a business!"

However, in reality, this little girl still didn't give Emperor Chongzhen a good face, and slapped Emperor Chongzhen's face fiercely - the reaction of the scholar on the top of the city was exactly the same as Wang Mingyu's reaction, so he hurriedly persuaded him Wang Zuohang went to spread rumors.

Except for the scholar who recognized Emperor Chongzhen, no one on the top of the city recognized that Emperor Chongzhen was in person below the city, so they were fooled by Wang Zuogua and the scholar, and they all believed it.

The scholar, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saw the knight shouting a second time, fearing that something might change in his life, he said to Wang Zuo, "Why doesn't King Zuo order someone to shoot this beast?"

Wang Zuogua estimated the distance, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be within reach, and even if it's within reach, I'm afraid some people will be able to avoid it."

But the scholar smiled and said: "What does it matter if you miss the shot? As long as King Zuo orders to shoot the arrow, there will be no turning back for everyone."

When Wang Zuohang heard the words, he stopped hesitating and ordered, "Shoot the arrows! Don't listen to this thief's instigation!"

When the rebels on the top of the city heard Wang Zuogua's order, they opened their bows and arrows from the Yichuan Guardhouse one after another, and shot with them.

The knights under the city also heard Wang Zuogua's order. Seeing that the rebels on the top of the city were all shooting arrows, they immediately cursed secretly, turned their horses' heads, and ran back to the main formation.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also in pain.

Damn it, no one can trust me!Do you really fucking want me to come forward?

Thinking about it, this is not the Golden Palace in the capital after all, even if I ran over, no one would recognize me, if I was shot to death by an arrow from the rebels who had already opened their bows, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen bitterly ordered: "Set up camp and surround Yichuan."

After the camp was set up, Emperor Chongzhen entered the tent of the Chinese army.At this time, someone had already laid out a map of Shaanxi and its surrounding areas for Emperor Chongzhen's reference.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the map for a long time, but suddenly asked Zhang Zhiji, "How long do we have enough food left?"

Zhang Zhiji thought about it in his mind, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if the soldiers are allowed to eat openly, it may only be enough for one day. If it is rationed and mare's milk is added, it will last for five or six days."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, and then swipe his fingers on the map for a long time before raising his head and saying: "I have ordered Ma Weihou to raise food from the surrounding area and deliver it here.

Order Pingyang Mansion to dispatch troops, draw a thousand households to come, take the siege equipment, and march towards Yichuan quickly.

The three counties of Daning, Jixian, and Xiangning are not allowed to be transferred, and the guards of the three counties are ordered to prepare for defense. If there is a mistake, I will have their heads! "

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Zhiji to reply, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the General Banner of Jinyiwei standing beside him and said, "Send someone to contact the city. I want to know the situation in Yichuan City."

The General Banner of Jinyiwei didn't want to know Pucheng like Zhang did before, so he just bowed to answer.

It's just that at night, after Emperor Chongzhen received the secret report from Jin Yiwei, his face became gloomy, and he said, "Bastard!"

the next day.

When Zhang Zhiji entered the tent and nodded to Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen directly ordered with a dark face: "Surround Yichuan, and even flies are not allowed to enter or leave. When Kaicheng surrendered, these bastards will be killed." Kill them all."

Zhang Zhiji was startled when he heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty?"

However, Emperor Chongzhen signaled to Jinyiwei General Banner next to him with his eyes, and ordered: "Tell Zhang Aiqing about the situation in Yichuan."

The General Banner of Jinyiwei bowed his hands to Zhang Zhiji and said: "Except for the rebels, there are less than three hundred people in Yichuan City, all of whom followed the bandits when the city was broken. The food in the city is less than five days' worth. "

Zhang Zhiji was shocked when he heard the words, and said angrily: "There is such a beast!"

Zhang Zhiji was not ignorant of the previous situation in Yichuan County.

As Yichuan County at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi, the county has a population of nearly 2. In addition to the towns outside the city, the county itself has a population of nearly [-].

Now, less than [-] people can be harmed by these rebels, and the tragedy of their military disasters can be seen from this.

However, Zhang Zhiji also understood why the Emperor Chongzhen ordered the massacre of the rebels in the city—this kind of beast-eating people, even if they were sent to do coolies and thrown under the command of His Royal Highness, the king of Tang Dynasty, they would be sorry for the epicenter. Nearly [-] people!

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhiji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to cut some wood in the nearby woods first, build a ladder first, and then immediately attack the city?"

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while before he said: "Forget it, there are less than three hundred people in the city, and they are all followers of thieves. Even if they attack the city at this moment, they will only be driven by these bastards to defend the city, and they can survive. How many people? At that time, it will only increase the casualties of the Beijing camp.

According to my will, as long as the blockade is strictly enforced, that's all.I don't believe it, but he, Wang Zuoguo, is really capable of cannibalism? "

Facts have proved that cannibalism can be done not only by black uncles in Africa, but also by these people in the Central Plains.

Zang Hong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty killed his concubine to feed his soldiers. In the Fu Jian period of the former Qin Dynasty, in a battle in Chang'an, the defenders beheaded [-] enemy troops who broke into the city. The corpses became rations.Officers also took the human flesh home to feed their wives.

Not only can you eat the enemy, but your own people can also eat at the last moment.General Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty led [-] soldiers to attack Mobei, but they returned without success and had no food on the way back.The whole army eats each other.After the final entry, only one-twentieth of the original troops remained.

The most shocking incident occurred in the battle of Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang.Zhang Xun used thousands of Tang troops to stop the siege of An Lushan's army here.During the siege that lasted for several months, food shortage first occurred in the city.

After the food was eaten, the soldiers began to eat the horses, and after the horses were eaten, they began to eat more than 3 women, old people and children.

What is surprising is that although Tang Jun knew that there were no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and he would die here, there were no rebels.In the end, the city was broken, and of the [-] soldiers and civilians in the city, only more than [-] survived.

In the sixth year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song army besieged the Jin army in Tangzhou, and the food in the city was exhausted. The general of the Jin army, Ukuli Heihan, killed his concubine and fed it to the soldiers.But the soldiers didn't have enough to eat, so they scrambled to kill Wu's other wives and children. When the city was finally broken, even the coach of the Jin Army, Fu Cha, was killed by his subordinates and ate meat.

However, these people are not the most powerful.

The most awesome one is Huang Chao.

The Huang Chao who wrote "The scent of the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor" is the real awesome character.

In May of the third year of Zhonghe, when Huang Chao's army was besieged in Chenzhou, this guy used mechanized methods to massacre the people of Chenzhou. Crushed, made into "dried meat", distributed into military rations, and supplied to sergeants.

The whole process from production to consumption is completely integrated, and the whole process is very efficient, just like a killing machine that operates day and night.

Therefore, when the Pingyang Guard infantry dispatched by Emperor Chongzhen arrived under the city of Yichuan Prefecture with siege equipment, the entire Yichuan Prefecture still did not surrender.
