please make me king

Chapter 778 Reinforcement
The bloody siege continued, and the moat outside Nanyang City was almost filled.

Among the fillings, some officers and soldiers threw in mud, some were stones thrown from the city, and more were corpses that could barely see their original appearance.

The city wall near the city gate is almost completely covered with a layer of black and purple blood stains, which are the marks left by the besiegers.

Zeng, Huang, and Zhu, who had never seen blood before, felt quite uncomfortable seeing this situation at first, but now they are used to it.

Even Mrs. Huang said to Mrs. Zhu privately: "I used to hear the old man say that killing people is like killing chickens, but now it seems really unbelievable. How can there be so many chickens to kill in this world?"

After hearing this, Zeng Yurou couldn't help but frowned and asked Zhang Shun, "I don't know how long this war will last? Such a way of killing is really..."

"Compassion does not command soldiers!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sighed when he heard the words, "If I don't kill him, he will kill me. If we fall into their hands, I'm afraid it will be a hundred times worse than theirs!"

"Fortunately, people's hearts are fleshy. As enemies, we can hardly stand it anymore. Presumably the officers and soldiers have collapsed in the past few days!"

The actual situation of the officers and soldiers was even more serious than Zhang Shun imagined.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian looked at the wailing soldiers in the camp. He walked over, but no one moved or saluted him.

These people have no respect from top to bottom, and they look at the boss above them indifferently.

Zhu Yujian inexplicably remembered a sentence: The emperor regards his ministers as worthless, and the ministers regard the emperor as an enemy!

He shivered, wrapped himself in the fur coat, and quickly hid in the Chinese army tent of Huguang Governor Tang Hui.

Zhu Yujian saw that Tang Hui was playing chess with the old god of Nanyang magistrate, he couldn't help complaining: "Junmen, you are too big-hearted."

"Are you still free to play chess at this time? If you have time, go outside the tent and take a look, maybe something will happen to Xiaoying tonight!"

"Tang Wang is careful!" As soon as Zhu Yujian's words fell, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, hurriedly pulled him to the front, and replied in a low voice: "Why don't I know? It's just pretending to be calm to calm down the soldiers!"

"'Shun Bandit' is really good at fighting. The officers and soldiers attacked several times, but returned without success. Now that the morale is low, it is time for the bandits to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. We have been waiting for a long time!"

"Why is this?" Zhu Yujian twisted his body on the chair anxiously, as if he was sitting on a crater.

"Lead the snake out of the hole!" Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "If the thieves hide in the city, even if there are thousands of troops, they can't be shaken!"

"If the thieves go out to fight in waves in the city, and two cavalry come out from the left and right to pinch the thieves, what will happen?"

"You mean Shanhaiguan closed the iron cavalry?" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian suddenly realized.

"That's right!" Governor of Huguang Tang Hui sneered, "The lower officials just received the news that two generals, You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia, have arrived in Zhenping with [-] cavalry, ready to attack and kill the enemy at any time!"

"I want to see how long the rebellious officials and thieves in the city can endure! Once the officers and soldiers are defeated, will he go out of the city to pursue them!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Tang Wang Zhu Yujian couldn't help exclaiming, "When the time comes, please ask the military sect to give me face and let me kill this beast with my own hands!"

"Hey, I will depend on you for everything else, but this one won't work!" Governor of Huguang Tang Hui sneered, "I want to escort this guy to the capital, where he will be hacked into pieces, so as to deter these rascals!"

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian hesitated for a long time when he heard the words, then he sighed and said: "Well then, let's act according to the policy of the military sect, and this thief will definitely die!"

The three of them agreed, and early the next morning, Huguang Governor Tang Hui continued to call for his generals You Zhaiwen and Xu Chengming, and ordered: "Today we will continue as usual!"

You Zhaiwen and Xu Chengming were shocked when they heard the words, and quickly tried to persuade them: "The soldiers in the military gate are exhausted, how can they drive them to their deaths?"

"Bold!" Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, couldn't help being angry when he heard the words, and said angrily, "Are you questioning me?"

"Anyone who refuses to carry out the military order will be shot and killed. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be punished by his wife, children, and children! I want to see who has the guts of a bear!"

You Zhaiwen and Xu Chengming are small and weak officials, they are soft-spoken and can't do anything when they see things, so they can't help but shake their heads and go.

Huguang governor Tang Hui saw that the two had walked out of the camp, and then he ordered to the left and right: "Order the standard battalion to be alert, and beware of other officers and soldiers making trouble!"

It is impossible to say that you are not afraid.Governor Tang Hui of Huguang's trick of seeking to survive from death seems simple, but if he is not careful, he will turn into actively seeking to die, ten deaths will never survive, he has to be cautious!

Not long after, the rumble of war drums sounded again.

Most of the soldiers lay motionless on the ground, as if they hadn't heard it.

The left and right officers saw it, and couldn't help but picked up the whip and whipped it.

They smoked and scolded: "Get up, get up for me! You short-lived ghosts who have been plagued by the plague, do you still want to be lazy?"

They were all soldiers who had seen blood on the battlefield, and some of them could not help but stare at the words and wanted to resist.

The others hurriedly stopped, and privately comforted him: "Why are you angry with the dead? Within two days, there will be chaos in this camp!"

Not to mention that everyone has their own ghosts, Zhang Shun looked at Wangfu Mountain for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "The officers and soldiers doubt each other, and this is a defeated army!"

"Why do you say that?" Everyone asked strangely.

"You can see that the distance between the soldiers and the officers has been increased, and there are many quarrels between the two sides. It must be difficult to enforce the military orders. As long as the rebels go out of the city and strike, the officers and soldiers will be defeated!" Zhang Shun replied with a smile.

"My lord, please lead your troops out of the city to destroy this beast!" Xiao Qinhu couldn't help asking Ying after hearing this.

To be honest, Zhang Shun was a little moved.But after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't be in a hurry for now, wait for a while, I won't waste a single blow, and discipline him to defeat himself without fighting!"

"Pretending to be a ghost!" Gao Guiying couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance when she heard this, knowing that Zhang Shunhao's old habit of playing tricks had fallen again.

The symbolic battle between the two sides lasted until noon, and the officers and soldiers retreated like a tide, and the rebels did not take the initiative to go out of the city to pursue them.

Zhang Shun was used to three meals a day, so he asked Zeng Yurou to cook a few small dishes, warmed up a pot of wine, and ate wine with everyone in the gazebo on Wangfu Mountain while checking on the situation of the officers and soldiers.

Not long after, Zhang Shun glanced to the north of Nanyang City from the corner of his eye, and saw shadows behind the officers and soldiers camp in the distance, as if a large group of people was coming.

Zhang Shun couldn't help being taken aback, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and built a shelter with his hands, and saw that there seemed to be various flags mixed in it.

Zhang Shun's heart skipped a beat, now that he is deep in the enemy's territory, he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Another large group of people came, could it be that the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers failed?
He felt a little annoyed in his heart, if he had just waited for an opportunity to order the soldiers to launch a surprise attack, he might have already defeated Huguang governor Tang Hui's team in front of him, and it would be much easier to deal with the troops here!
