When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 243 241 Those who save themselves live, those who rely on others to save them die
Seeing that Gu Hua and the others had no intention of opening the city gate voluntarily, Dong Jiancheng stopped being polite and waved his hand, waving the swords in the hands of the soldiers to drive away the civilians.

"Lift the log and knock against the door."

"And you, set up the ladder and climb up."

Gu Hua saw that the other side was sure that they would not shoot arrows at the civilians, so he commanded the civilians to attack the city with confidence.

Some of the civilians were unwilling and were immediately beheaded by the enemy soldiers who were holding big knives and had fierce faces. Blood gushed out and the other civilians were frightened and instantly let out wails and screams.

"You beasts will die a miserable death."

Seeing another thirty-something man who wanted to resist was about to die under the enemy's bloody sword, Gu Hua on the tower suddenly had a crossbow in his hand...

"Puff." The sharp iron tip of the arrow hit the center of the eyebrows of the man holding the big knife.

Because the power of the crossbow was too strong, it went straight through the man's head from between his eyebrows, and even a ferocious soldier behind him was shot in the eye.

"Ah... Who is it? Who is it? A sneak attack..."

Gu Hua was very satisfied with the powerful crossbow she designed. After all, she was not a professional, but she had seen a lot of cold weapons like this in the doomsday, and she was very proud of herself to be able to make something like this.

Compared with traditional bows and arrows, crossbows have stronger penetration, longer range and higher accuracy. They have a longer range, greater lethality and a higher hit rate than bows. In ancient times, they were a powerful long-range killing weapon.

When Gu Hua shot the arrow, it was like a streak of silver lightning, piercing the target in an instant. The trajectory of the arrow was like a graceful curve, which was amazing.

"Such a powerful weapon," Li Wei said, "How come I have never seen it before?"

Gu Hua: "It was just produced not long ago, of course you haven't seen it."

Li Wei's eyes sparkled as he said excitedly, "If our army is equipped with such weapons, there is no need to worry about failure in achieving our great cause."

Gu Hua raised his eyebrows and agreed.

If she didn't have some skills, how could she dare to rebel easily when she has no elders above her and young children below her? It's not like she is so idle that she doesn't want to live.

Gu Hua's move also stunned the other party.

"What kind of weapon is so powerful that it can penetrate two people at once."

Dong Jiancheng felt the danger and retreated a little, but the food stored in the homes of the people in Yuanzhou City had already been eaten up by the army he secretly allowed.

If he fails to capture Zizhou, which is the closest to them and has the most abundant resources in recent years, his army will probably fall apart due to lack of food.

Dong Jiancheng, who was ambitious but not very wise, had his eyes flashing quickly. Not wanting to be a lone commander, he gritted his teeth and commanded his troops to start attacking the city.

"Send a team of men to me. With the civilians in front, they dare not shoot arrows."

When the people on the city wall heard the other leader say such shameless words, they clenched their bows and arrows tightly, as if they were just waiting for Gu Hua to give the order so that they could shoot the shameless people below into sieves.

There was a flash of hesitation in Gu Hua's eyes.

Even if she is not a good person, she has no hobby of shooting civilians.

Thousands of civilians under the city were used as shields by those people. Not all archers on the city walls had the ability to shoot accurately from a hundred paces away. If they were not careful, they would accidentally shoot the civilians below and cause them to lose their lives in vain.

The most hateful thing was that there were children of seven or eight years old and some women among them. When they looked up, their eyes were full of fear, and the people on the city wall couldn't bear to shoot them easily.

"Damn it! I really want to go out of the city and kill them." Seeing this scene, the hot-tempered Chai Yuangui shouted. Gu Hua said casually, "Then go ahead."

Everyone was stunned.

"..."

Everyone looked at Gu Hua who had a calm expression, and their faces all showed, "Are you serious about this?"

"What's wrong?" Gu Hua: "Aren't you going out to kill someone?"

"Then I'll go." Chai Yuangui, who had just shouted that he wanted to leave the city, shook the long sword in his hand and said.

"Wait." Gu Hua motioned him to look towards the city, pointing, "Take 5,000 soldiers out of the city and try to separate the civilians. Those who are smart will know when to escape, and the rest who are waiting for others to deal with them will just have to leave it to fate."

Gu Hua is not a saint. He did not order the archers to shoot them in order to defend the city. This is his greatest kindness.

What's more, she sent people out of the city to separate them from the enemy, giving them the greatest possible chance to escape. As for those who were still waiting for others to rescue them, what did her business have if they died?

Chai Yuangui went down to select the troops to leave the city.

Gu Hua looked at Li Wei and Zhong Zhengjie, who had been promoted to the rank of captain of a thousand households, and said, "You two should also lead your troops down to assist Captain Chai and Hong Ling, who has been waiting in the mountains for two days, to attack from both sides and make dumplings with this meat filling."

"Yes."

"Take orders."

Li Wei and Zhong Zhengjie took the order with swords in hand and went down to lead their men out of the city.

The people of Yuanzhou who were living under the city were originally forced at knifepoint to lift up thick logs and prepare to knock down the city gates. Some of them also set up ladders and were preparing to climb up the city walls with trembling legs.

With a creaking sound, the heavy city gate opened and all movements stopped.

The tall and brave Chai Yuangui rode a warhorse with 5,000 soldiers, and rushed out, separating the civilians from the enemy before the enemy could react. "Everyone, run fast. If you run too slow, you will die. You deserve it."

The people were still stunned and had not reacted, but were instantly awakened by the loud and rough shout. While Chai Yuangui led his troops to block those who were threatening them with knives, this group of people, regardless of age, children, or women, fled from here at high speed as if they were on Hot Wheels.

No one wants to be used as cannon fodder between two armies, as death would be in vain.

"Hey, brother, I heard that the manager of your Shuzhou is a woman." Li Shu, who has been following Dong Jiancheng for several years and has done all kinds of evil to compete for resources, is tainted with evil spirit.

He shouted with an evil smile: "What good will it be for you to follow a woman with long hair and little knowledge?

Why don't you lead your people to join our Brother Dong? He is a very nice guy and treats us all as brothers.

Then one day we can break into the capital and help him take the supreme position, and he will definitely make us a marquis and a prime minister..."

Dong Jiancheng looked at Li Shu's rudeness with a flicker in his eyes... Doesn't he understand that some words can only be listened to, and if you believe them, you lose.

"Bullshit." Chai Yuangui spat, "You are forcing the people to take the blame. How can you be good? If you really let people like you succeed, I'm afraid all the people in the world will be killed by you."

Dong Jiancheng's eyes suddenly flashed darkly, and he glanced at Mr. Pang beside him with an ambiguous look. He had thought it was a good idea before, but now he realized that if this was spread out, he would lose the support of the people before his uprising was successful.

Pang Sangliang was still immersed in the pride of his own intelligence, and did not notice the ambiguous glance from the side...
