"Help-! No! No!"

"Mom! Mom! Don't hit my mother! Don't hit my mother!"

The screams of women and the cry of children resounded under the city of Wuliannanmen.

In front of everyone, dozens of people from the three surnames of Wu Lian were like crazy beasts, holding whips and bamboo sticks, and whipped the poor women hard, rolling all over the ground, crying and begging. Some people from the three surnames of Wu Lian stepped on the ground, grabbed the children's hair, and forced these children to see the cruel scene of their mother being beaten. They kept shouting, "Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry and cry desperately for Naiweng! Ask your bastard to surrender! Tell them to surrender!"

Not far south, the soldiers and soldiers of the Jinke County who were waiting in line were either numb or full of impatience. Some people looked down at the ground, and some turned to look in other directions. They generally couldn't bear to see the pitiful appearance of the women, girls and children in front of them. Only Su Ding and some of his confidants were proud, talking and laughing, and energetic.

On Wulian City to the north, the Han soldiers gritted their teeth, clasped their weapons and their eyes were about to spit out of fire, and they roared and roared endlessly. Some people kept asking Zhang Zhi, who had already climbed to the south gate in person, "Ming Court, let us go out of the city! Let us go out of the city to fight with these beasts! Fight with these ungrateful dogs!"

"calm!"

Although he drew Baixiang Soup that morning, he drew the signature big bone noodles and the first time he drew the instant noodles in a barrel, Zhang Zhi's expression was still very ugly, and he said loudly with a dark face: "Everyone is calm! The county soldiers are prepared. We are not their opponents yet. Now that we go out of the city, we will not only not be able to save your comrades' families, but on the contrary, we will only give up your lives in vain!"

The county magistrate Xue Rang rushed out of the county camp on foot, rushed to Su Ding quickly, and asked yellingly, "General Su, you promised me last night and said that you would not use such means. How could you go back on your word?"

"Mr. Xue, have I gone back on my word?" Su Ding replied with a smile: "You see clearly. This general did not ask the county soldiers to deal with the families of the thief army. Those who do not restrain the people."

Looking at Su Ding's ugly face with a treacherous smile, Xue Rang almost had the urge to pull him off the horse and fight desperately.

At the same time, Wu Ma, who was ordered to stay in the camp, stood next to the camp gate, looking at the city of Wu Lian in the distance, his fists were clenched, and his arms were rushing, and suddenly punched the camp gate with a heavy punch, roaring: "Beasts are worse than beasts!"

The scene returned to Wulian City and ordered his best friend to stop for the time being. Mo Zhu smiled and grabbed the hair of a woman who had been beaten to death, forcing her to look up at Wulian City, and shouted hysterically at the city: "The Mo family's Tianshu, listen to Naiweng Mozhu! If you don't come out to surrender, Naiweng will let you kill your wife here! Cook your baby to death in a cauldron to make soup!"

While shouting, Mo Zhu shouted the names of the women's husbands, he beat these poor women who had no power to fight back. His best friend tied up the children with a grin and threw them into the cauldron piled with firewood below. The cry of the women's children also tore their hearts apart.

When Mo Zhu, who was completely crazy, ordered the women's clothes to be abolished, several new Han army recruits from Mo family, who were born in Tiannu, were also taken to Zhang Zhi. Looking at these Han army soldiers who had already burst into tears, Zhang Zhi sighed helplessly, and then bowed to them and said, "Dear soldiers, I am sorry to you. I have asked you to join the Han army, but I have no way to protect your relatives. I have implicated them to this point. I am ashamed of you."

"Ming Court--!"

Several Han soldiers knelt down to Zhang Zhi with tears in their eyes, Zhang Zhi bowed back and returned the salute, and at the same time shed tears, crying and said, "Go, surrender to those people, it's important to save your relatives first! Don't worry, go down the city, I will let you go."

"Ming Court!" Several Han soldiers cried even more, and then a Han soldiers cried and shouted: "No! Ming Court! I won't leave! I don't want my wife's baby anymore, I want to stay with you!"

"Sir, don't be impulsive." Old Cang Cao Zhangjiu cried out to persuade him, and said to the Han army soldier who begged to stay: "Go quickly, this is the good intention of the Ming court. It is important to save your wife and baby first."

"No, I won't leave!" The Han army soldier still refused, and cried even more sadly. Several other Han army soldiers whose families were controlled by the enemy also cried and refused to go down the city.

"Soldiers!" Zhang Zhi knelt down to several Han soldiers and cried, "I appreciate your loyalty to me, but the more you do this, the less I can't bear to let your relatives suffer! I beg you, go and save your relatives!"

Wu Lian Wenwu, who had been working on ideological work by Zhang Zhi, advised the Han army soldiers to put their relatives first. Mo Sheng, who was a member of the Mo clan, even kowtowed continuously. Several Han army soldiers cried loudly, but in the end they all returned the currently in short supply of helmets and weapons of the Han army, pulled the ropes down the city wall one by one, and turned around and cried and surrendered to the enemy formation in the distance, rescuing their wives and children who were suffering from cruel torture.

Seeing this scene, Su Ding, Mo Zhu, Lu Ji and their close friends were of course cheering loudly and proudly, while the soldiers of Ke County were generally contemptuous. However, the Han soldiers on Wu Lian City were all gritted their teeth. Not only did they not shake their morale because of the surrender of their comrades, but on the contrary, they all had their eyes blew out of fire, hoping to rush out of the city immediately and fight to the death with the shameless enemy outside the city. The cohesion of the army was greatly improved.

After laughing wildly, he swung the whip himself, and after he drew the Han soldiers from Tiannu's faces to their faces, Mo Zhu first ordered his confidants to tie up the Han soldiers who had surrendered from the city, and then replaced the families of the Han soldiers to torture and abuse, forcing them to ask their relatives in the city to surrender. Seeing that Mo Zhu succeeded in surrendering, Lu Ji couldn't wait to ask his confidants to take the family from Tiannu's family to beat them in public in accordance with the rules, forcing their relatives to surrender.

According to the agreement the night before, Wu Lian Wenwu, led by Zhang Zhi, not only did not stop any Han army soldiers from being controlled by their relatives from surrendering, but instead shed tears to these Han army soldiers, allowing these Han army soldiers to cry and go down the city with ropes, stumbled and surrender to the enemy formation in the distance. The murderous aura on Wu Lian city was soaring, but the morale of the county soldiers was low. As long as there were some county soldiers with a little conscience, none of them despised their commander Su Ding to the extreme.

The scene like a separation from life and death lasted from morning to afternoon. In the morning, about 100 Han soldiers, who had to use ropes to lay down the city wall and surrender when their relatives fell into the enemy's claws. Su Ding naturally danced and couldn't wait to ask Mo Zhu and Lu Ji to continue to act like this, forcing more Han soldiers to surrender from the city.

However, just like Zhang Zhi estimated last night, Mo Zhu and Lu Ji came to Su Ding and told Su Ding with a sad face that they had used up all the Han army's families they captured and there was no extra family to use as hostages. Su Ding was furious and roared: "Why not arrest all the families of these thieves? Without a wife or baby, they would not arrest their brothers and sisters, parents and parents?"

"General, how could all be captured in such a short time and so many families?" Mo Zhu replied with a wry smile: "Besides, we have to consider the issue of food. If we arrest all the families, what food should we give them to eat?"

"Idiot! If there is no food, won't they be hungry?" Su Ding scolded and shouted: "Go, go down the city and shout for surrender, and ask all the soldiers of the thief who have their families outside the city to come out to surrender, otherwise they will kill their entire family!"

According to Su Ding's order, Mo Zhu and Lu Ji really led a few best friends to the near city, pulled their necks and shouted wildly, "Wu Lian's three surnames, listen to Nai Weng! Nai Weng is Mo Zhu and your village leader, hurry up and surrender! Otherwise, when Nai Weng captures your parents, parents, brothers and sisters, and daughter-in-law, they will only die even more miserable!"

"Let's listen to Naiweng!" Lu Ji also roared wildly: "Naiweng is your leader Lu Ji, come out to surrender. Otherwise, Naiweng will capture your family and keep them safe and let them die worse than the other!"

"Anyone who has a family outside the city will give Nai Weng a surrender. Otherwise, Nai Weng will catch your wife and children, parents, keep it and make them look good!"

When answering Mo Zhu, Lu Ji and their best friends, the feather arrows shot out by the Han army soldiers angrily. After forcing Mo Zhu, Lu Ji and others to retreat beyond the range of the strong bow and crossbow, a large, two small and three large bags of instant noodles were placed on the city wall with a fishing net. Then the Han army soldiers roared neatly, "Su Ding, one thousand bags! Mo Zhu, five hundred bags! He Ji, five hundred bags! Su Ding, one thousand bags! Mo Zhu, five hundred bags! He Ji, five hundred bags!"

Looking at the huge rewards issued by Wu Lian Han Army, Mo Zhu and Lu Ji, who knew how appealing instant noodles were, were inevitably a little scared. Seeing that the threat was useless, they had to return to Su Ding to report together. Su Ding first looked at the instant noodles with a greedy look. He secretly remembered that the instant noodles in the city were still in stock, and then said in a big way: "Let's go, withdraw the troops and return to the camp, and go back to discuss how to deal with these dying struggling bandits in the city."

When he forced the surrendered Han soldiers who were tied up like rice dumplings, he carried the families of Han soldiers to retreat to the south city, a neat Han music song suddenly rang out from Wulian City, singing:

"They are going back, and the middle is getting better. The summer is coming, and we are heading north to inherit the Ganquan Palace. The cold and heat virtues. We travel to Shiguan and look for the various countries. The ministers of the moon branch and the Xiongnu were sent to the emperor. We ordered all officials to drive away and live a long life of happiness."

When hearing this traditional military music of the Han army, the Han army soldiers who were forced to surrender were inevitably burst into tears again and wept. More than half a month ago, the county soldiers who sang this military song almost every day were generally in a heavy mood. They remembered the past, and many people still had tears in their eyes. Only Su Ding heard the curse, regretted that the Ke County soldiers surrendered too short and had not had time to learn the twelve songs of Cao Wei's military music to fight against the century-old military music sung by the Han army soldiers.

At the same time, on the wall of Wulian, Zhao Quan, Fu Gong and Zhu Xiang also came to Zhang Zhi together and said in unison: "Ming Court, the soldiers will win! The soldiers of our army are extremely sad and angry. I also asked the Ming court to order us to fight tonight, raid the enemy camp, and fight to the death with Su Ding, who has been betrayed and forgot his kindness and revenge for his grudges and revenge! "

After looking at the county soldiers lined back to the camp in the distance, Zhang Zhi had a little thought, and quickly made up his mind and said, "No hurry! Although Su Dingbi is shameless and cruel, he is an experienced veteran on the battlefield after all, and he will definitely prevent us from going out of the city to attack tonight. So we cannot be anxious. We must wait until the time is ripe before we can consider going to the battle!"

"When is the time to be ripe?" Fu Gong, who was anxious, stamped his feet in anger.

Zhang Zhi did not answer, but walked to the side of the arrow pile with his hands behind his back, looked at the retreating county soldiers and thought to himself, "I haven't seen Wu Ma's banner of Qu General today. It seems that he has stayed in the camp. Why didn't he come? Is he not shameless? Or did he have a conflict with Su Ding, and Su Ding thought he was in the trouble and left him in the camp? Or was he just a normal camp?"

"The first two are beneficial to us in these three situations, and the third one cannot judge the pros and cons. That is to say, from a probability perspective, if I use that move, I may succeed at least two-thirds. This is quite sure that I can do it."

"The trouble is how to make the letter reasonably fall into Su Ding's hands? It's not appropriate for me to arrange the death of the dead soldiers myself, or to buy county soldiers and prisoners to come forward. Wu Ma contacted me quietly. How could he use outsiders without using someone he could trust? As long as Su Ding is not stupid enough, he will definitely not be fooled easily."

"Or what if you try your luck with that? Well, you can give it a try. If you succeed, you will make a huge profit. If you fail, I will lose no money..."

…………

When Zhang Zhi was gradually making up his mind on Wulian City, a new change suddenly appeared at the Wulian strong militia camp headed by Mo Zhu and Lu Ji. Just as Mo Zhu and Lu Ji took their confidants to escort the surrendered Han army back to the camp, more than a dozen people with colorful faces painted on their faces suddenly came to their camp with a smile, and asked to join the powerful militia team attacking Wulian County.

With relatively weak strength, Lu Ji rushed to meet these ten barbarians who came to join the army with their own weapons. When asked about their origins, he found out that these barbarians were all from the Wulian ethnic minority in remote mountainous areas. They originally thought of purchasing pig iron in Wulian City, but they never thought that they had encountered wars, so they came to join the army temporarily, trying to help the county soldiers take down the city to gain some benefits. Lu Ji, who was in a hurry to hear this, was naturally overjoyed and asked the leader of the leader of the barbarian: "What's your name? What are your subordinates' abilities?"

"General, my name is Kuaba." The leader of the barbarian with bright colors on his face answered readily, and said: "These people under me and I have no ability. They just dare to fight to the death in war. As long as we are in charge of food, we will be rewarded if we win, and when we go into battle, we will guarantee to rush to the front."

"Very good." Looking at the strong and powerful barbarians, Lu Ji immediately said: "Then you will follow me in the future. As long as you help us capture Wulian City, your benefits will be indispensable."

"General, we heard that the biggest ones here are Master Mo and Master Lu." The Yiren Kuaba hurriedly said, "We just want to be with them."

Lu Ji laughed and said, "Then you are looking for the right person. This village leader is Lu Ji, the leader of Lujia Village."

"Are you the leader of the village?" Kuaba was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly led his subordinates to kneel down to salute Lu Ji, saying that he was willing to serve. Lu Ji laughed even more when he saw it, and hurriedly asked his confidant to bring Kuaba and other barbarians into the camp of Wulian's powerful militia to rest.

After Su Ding returned to the camp with a laugh, Su Ding ignored Wu Ma, who was covered in black and shook his head and sighed. He just drank wine and waited patiently for Mo Zhu and Lu Ji, two right-hand assistants, to get the militia to come to pay their respects. Su Ding smiled at them and said, "I did a pretty good job today. Keep working hard tomorrow. When I break through Wulian City, I will not treat you badly."

Mo Zhu and Lu Ji quickly thanked him, and then Mo Zhu asked curiously again: "General, what should we do next?"

"Do two things at the same time." Su Ding immediately said: "From tomorrow, you are not responsible for commanding the land and filling the rivers of the land and the people. We will try our best to fill the moat at the south gate of Wulian for this general to fill four river crossings within three days. Lu Ji, this general sends a garrison to protect you from the south and go south, and take the soldiers and families of Zhang Zhi's thieves back as hostages. When it comes to siege, we force these hostages to walk in front and let them attack us. Then, as long as the Zhang Zhi's thieves' army is ruthless, it will be easy for us to take Wulian!"

Mo Zhu and Lu Ji, who were also birds of the same feather, quickly praised Su Ding's tricks as if they were gods. Wu Ma next to him was so angry that he rushed out of the tent directly. Xue Rang also wanted to speak but stopped several times, but in the end he couldn't help saying: "General Su, have you considered the consequences of doing this? Even if you take down Wu Lian City, Wu Lian's people's hearts will be completely finished."

"What are you afraid of?" Su Ding said impatiently: "Isn't it enough to keep more troops to garrison? So many people who are deceived by Zhang Zhi's son and follow the thief, we must also keep more troops to garrison."

Then, as Zhang Zhi expected, although it was so cruel that it was outrageous, Su Ding still reminded Mo Zhu and Lu Ji to be careful of night defense. At the same time, he also issued an order to the county soldiers to strengthen their night defense and beware of the fact that Wu Lian, the Han army, was already in a state of sorrow, jumped over the wall and left the city to sneak attack the county soldiers.

Zhang Zhi predicted that Su Ding would be careful to prepare for night defense, and Su Ding did make such arrangements, but this night, something happened that Zhang Zhi and Su Ding both expected. It was about halfway through the night, and the camp of Wu Lian militia suddenly became in chaos. The only few military tents were almost ignited. The disarrayed Wu Lian militia shouted and ran around like a headless fly. The people of Wu Lian, who were swept by Mo Zhu and Lu Ji, were completely in panic, and many people even escaped from the camp overnight.

At first, he thought that Wu Lian Han army had left the city to attack, so Su Ding could only order the entire army to get up and prepare for war, guarding the camp fence to prevent it. Then he waited for a long time but could not see half of the Han soldiers. At the same time, he did not see any army rushing to Wu Lian militia's camp. Su Ding then divided the army to check the situation. As a result, when it was dawn, a news that made Su Ding's stomach burst into tears finally came to him...

The news is that Lu Ji, a capable assistant in poisoning the people, was cut off by a group of barbarians in the middle of the night! Then the group of barbarians tried to sneak attack Moji's tent. After being discovered by Moji's confidants, they rushed out of the camp, which led to a complete chaos in the Wulian militia camp.

At the same time, Kuaba, a barbarian who had made contributions when the Wulian Han army attacked Hejiazhai, had already led his relatives and friends to carry Lu Ji's head, climbed up the Wulian city wall with a rope and defected to the Han army. He was soon led to Zhang Zhi.

Seeing that Kuaba, who had outstanding archery skills, not only returned with confidence, but also brought him the head of the poor Lu Ji, Zhang Zhi was of course overjoyed. He quickly helped Kuaba with his own hands and said, "Puo Qian is really a believer. Not only does he follow the trust, he also brought Lu Ji, a dog thief. I have received help from the hero, and I am really like a tiger!"

"Your Majesty Zhang is polite. Since you are here to join you, of course you will bring you something." Kuaba answered very straightforwardly and asked even more straightforwardly: "Your Majesty Zhang, you said today in the city that as long as you win Mo Zhu or Lu Ji's head, you will be rewarded with 500 packs of instant noodles. I brought you Lu Ji's head. Should you give us 500 packs of instant noodles?"
