    Chapter 746 Protest After crossing the Jinshui River, the large group stopped less than three miles north of Qingyuan City. No more reinforcements came out of the city, so Fang Jie planned to have a decisive battle with the Qingyuan City defenders outside the city.  It failed. In fact, Fang Jie himself knew very well that it was almost impossible to annihilate the Qingyuan City defenders outside the city. His purpose was to consume the enemy's forces as much as possible, which would also be harmful to future siege battles.  There are benefits.  Starco was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and stabbed in the chest and thigh.  Fu Zhengming, who had half of his forearm cut off, was captured alive, tied up and escorted to Fang Jie.  Fang Jie sat cross-legged on the white lion and glanced at the two people in front of him.  This was the first time that Fu Zhengming and Shi Da Ke met Fang Jie. In their understanding, Fang Jie was a murderous demon king and a cold-hearted executioner. When they were captured alive, they knew in their hearts what would happen to them.  It won't be any better.  Fang Jie came here in the name of revenge. Since he is an enemyhow could a miracle happen?  But they didn't expect that Fang Jie just glanced at them indifferently and then waved his hand and ordered: "Take them down and apply wound medicine on them first." "Here!" A few knights from the riding school went over and led the people back.  Fu Zhengming and Shi Dake looked at each other, neither of them understood what Fang Jie meant.  But the injuries on their bodies are indeed very serious. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, they may bleed to death.  The two of them were led down with anxiety, but at the same time they couldn't help but look back at the young man.  "Set up the catapult and install the battering ram." Fang Jie ordered, raising his clairvoyance to observe the city wall.  "There are at least 10,000 troops guarding the city. I asked, and the man with a broken arm is Fu Zhengnan's younger brother, Fu Zhengming. The 10,000 troops he brought out are considered his private soldiers. How many square meters are there in Qingyuan City?  Hundreds of miles are under Fu Zhengnan's control, but the following counties are guarded by Fu Zhengming. This time we go south, and Fu Zhengnan urgently mobilizes Fu Zhengming's troops to return to Qingyuan City to guard. " Wu Yiyi looked at the opposite city slightly.  He sighed: "More than 10,000 troops defend the city, and the city wall is so strong that it is difficult to fight." "What is difficult to fight is not the wall, but the people's hearts." Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "No matter how strong a city is,  , more than a hundred catapults were smashed over, and they were able to suppress the defenders. We also had a captured artillery piece that could bombard the city gate. Even if the city gate was blocked, the city wall could collapse in the long run.  What I am worried about now is the attitude of the people in the city. There are more than 10,000 defenders in Qingyuan City and there is nothing to fear. The people from the surrounding counties are concentrated in the city. Once the people also go to the city to defend this battle will be difficult to fight.  "General, do you have any idea?" Wei Xiting asked.  "Try your best to be quick." Fang explained: "The people all have the heart to follow blindly. If the war ends soon and the army enters the city, the people will accept defeat and let nature take its course. If it takes a long time, the people in the city will have the same enemy.  It¡¯s hard to fight. This is the first city we want to capture. Speaking of which, those Nanyan people are watching. I used to defeat the enemy without leaving any survivors, but this time I have to change it Come on!  Xie suddenly thought of something, turned around and ordered the people of Xiaoqiu School: "Get more pens, ink, paper and inkstones, find soldiers who can write, write short messages, tie them to feather arrows and shoot them into the city, tell the people in the city that we are going south for revenge."  As long as Fu Zhengnan hands over the people of Pingshangdao and the money and food he plundered, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." "General" Chen Dingnan said in confusion: "The Nanyan army attacked Pingshangdao in the first place.  At that time, Fu Zhengnan's troops did not go north. " Fang Jie smiled and said: "But many of the people Murong Yongduo plundered were detained by Fu Zhengnan in Qingyuan, and a lot of supplies were also detained.  Murong Yongduo told me that Fu Zhengnan would definitely not hand over these people and supplies, but the people in the city would be angry because of this. As long as the people in the city and Fu Zhengnan are not of the same mind, there is no need to worry about destroying the city. " "  !¡± Chen Xiaoru responded and quickly ordered people to do it.  In just half a day, thousands of written letters were tied to the feather arrows.  "Let the catapults be launched to suppress the city wall defenders." Fang Jie ordered.  After briefly treating the wound, Qin Yuan took the order again and led the infantry in formation to slowly push forward.  Hundreds of trebuchets have been assembled. Following the command from the commanding general, the auxiliary soldiers operating the trebuchets immediately got busy, twisting the ropes, pulling down the big arms, and then a dozen people carried a huge boulder.  Put it on.  With the sound of the horn, hundreds of trebuchets fired at the same time.  The defenders on the city wall looked outside nervously. When they saw the trebuchet waving its arms in the distance,After that, he immediately raised his head and looked up at the sky. The stones thrown over him became bigger and bigger, and then crashed onto the city wall!  Stones smashed down the battlements, and the soldiers of the Nanyan Army hiding below were crushed into a pulp before they could even cry out.  Blood slowly flowed out from under the stone, thick and smelly.  When they saw a huge stone falling this way, the Nanyan archers on the archery tower immediately howled and ran down in panic. Half of them were hit by stones in the ruins before they could get down in time.  Someone jumped directly from the arrow tower and broke his leg immediately.  White bones protruded from the calf, with red meat strands hanging from them.  "Hide behind the city wall! Don't run around!" Fu Zhengnan took command personally, shouting loudly to keep his soldiers calm.  Speaking of which, the people of Nanyan had not experienced war for hundreds of years. The Sui army did not continue to go south, so that the people on this land could avoid disaster.  This time, they saw the horror of war.  Someone once said that no matter how great a natural disaster is, it cannot compare to the harm caused to people by war.  ¡°Perhaps the ferocious natural disasters are not as frightening as the bloody and bloody war.  With a bang, a huge boulder directly smashed through the roof of the city tower and fell inside. Three or four archers hiding inside were immediately knocked over. Some were completely crushed under the big boulder, while others were half-injured.  A body was pinned down, and a man who looked to be about forty years old had one foot pinned down. He was shouting and pulling out hard. Several people scrambled over in a panic to save him, pulling his arms and shoulders and pulling him back hard.  Pulling, there was a click, and the ankle that had been broken was finally torn open. The foot was left under the big stone, and the leg was pulled out.  The blood left a trail on the ground, like a reluctant connection between legs and feet.  The trebuchets continued to fire stones. It seemed that the Black Flag Army wanted to kill all the defenders on the city wall before attacking.  Fu Zhengnan, who was protected by dozens of guards, looked out through the gaps in the battlements, the muscles on his face twitching.  He watched helplessly as a large stone flew over the city wall and landed in the city. A wailing sound was immediately heard from the reserve team inside the city wall.  Can I keep Qingyuan?  Fu Zhengnan asked himself in his heart, but couldn't give himself an answer.  "Stop! Stop!" I don't know who shouted, and the people swaying on the city wall realized that there were no big rocks falling in the sky.  The soldiers hiding under the battlements carefully straightened up and peeked out. A soldier whose face was scratched by gravel slowly poked his head out and looked outside. He couldn't help but let out a cheer when he found that the enemy's trebuchet had indeed stopped.  But the shouting wasn't over yet, as an arrow pierced his eye socket with a pop.  "Be careful!" "Arrow formation!" The soldiers of the Nanyan Army who raised their heads and looked outside howled and fell down again, because they saw the dense arrow formation outside the city wall.  The feathers and arrows neatly left the bowstring, so densely packed that they covered the sky and the sun.  The black mass flew up to the city wall, and the wall was immediately covered with a layer of white feathers.  Under such a dense arrow array attack, the defenders on the city wall simply could not raise their heads.  "Fight back!" Fu Zhengnan pushed away the soldiers beside him, ran over and kicked away the defenders huddled under the wall, and personally operated the ballista to fight back.  Under his leadership, the defenders on the city wall finally began to fight back, and the ballistae and archers began to operate. Although many were damaged by the previous catapults, more than half of the ballistae on the city wall were still usable.  For the arrow array, the lethality of the ballista can be imagined.  But not long after the counterattack on the city wall started, they were surprised to find that the arrow formation outside the city had retreated!  "Huh?" A soldier saw something strange about the feather arrow stuck on his companion's body. He pulled it out and looked at it and found a note tied to it. The note had been stained with blood and blurred, but the writing on it could still be seen clearly.  "What are you looking at!" A team came over and snatched the note away. After reading it once, their expressions immediately changed.  "Revenge they are here to take revenge they are here to get back what they were robbed of." This team was murmuring and looking at the endless teams outside the city: "We have provoked us after all.  What!¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ When Fu Zhengnan found out about the note tied to the feather arrow, many soldiers had already seen the note.  A general ran over to find Fu Zhengnan with a bloody note. Fu Zhengnan's hands were shaking with anger after reading it.  "Shameless!" He threw the note away: "Pass on my military order. Anyone who dares to discuss this matter in private will be killed without mercy! Tell the soldiers that this is a alienation plot thought up by the enemy! Don't believe their words.  , if I hand over thoseThe surnames are about to open the city gate. When the city gate comes, they will rush in immediately!  " This general originally wanted to persuade Fu Zhengnan to hand over the people and supplies, but hearing Fu Zhengnan roaring angrily, he did not dare to say it. The people and supplies that Murong Yongduo led his troops to plunder  Qingyuan City has indeed retained a lot of property. Nanyan, especially the big cities to the north of Nanyan, is indeed relatively sparsely populated. Although the taxes on the Great Sui Ping Commercial Road are not light, the people are much better than those in Nanyan.  They lived a prosperous life. Especially the merchants walking in the Sui Dynasty would always describe how comfortable and prosperous the life of the Sui people on the Pingshang Road and even further away was, so that a large number of Nanyan people secretly went to the Sui Dynasty.  The border troops of the Sui Dynasty would never stop this kind of thing, and the officials in the southwest would naturally not stop it. They all hoped that more people from Nanyan would escape. In this way, several big cities in the north of Nanyan would be affected.  There were fewer and fewer people, so Fu Zhengnan was naturally jealous when he saw the people and things sent back by Murong Yongduo. There were now nearly 20,000 people in the city and he ordered to collect all the paper.  All the articles were burned, and no one was allowed to talk about it. But there was no way to stop such a thing. Soon, the news spread that the Sui people were coming to take back the people and supplies. Within a day, such rumors began to appear in the city.  By the second day, the spread of this incident could be described as crazy. ¡°The Sui army outside the city said that as long as the Sui people surrendered the supplies they had plundered, they would not kill anyone!  " "The city lord actually wants to keep those money and belongings at this time!  Our lives are not taken seriously at all!  " "I have heard that the general named Fang who leads the army is a murderous devil. If the city lord rejects him, I am afraid that we will not be able to escape when the city is destroyed.  " "I also heard that the man surnamed Fang said five kills As long as we ordinary people don't go to the city wall to help the defenders defend the city, they will not attack us. If someone helps defend the city, the nine tribes will be implicated!  " "Stay alive!  Don¡¯t be Sui people!  " "Stay alive!  Don¡¯t be Sui people!  " At noon the next day, thousands of people gathered outside the city lord's palace and shouted. Fu Zhengnan didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly. He wanted to explain, but he knew that he couldn't explain it clearly.  . He knew better than anyone that as soon as he opened the city gate, the Black Flag Army would rush in and take away everything he had. He didn't understand how this matter could spread so quickly among the people who usually treated him with respect.  , how could they have the courage to gather together to protest? The Nanyan army blocked the streets outside the city lord's palace, and no one was allowed to get close, but the people still gathered in the distance and shouted. In fact, they were also thinking about what if those people were really killed.  If people and things are returned, will they survive? They couldn't help but think of Fang's explanation of the five kills. Anyone who carries a weapon will be killed. Many people subconsciously looked at the weapons in their hands, and then shuddered.  It's our turn!  " Successfully encouraged the people to take to the streets to protest, and some people hidden in the crowd had smiles on their faces. " They are people from the Riding School, and they have been waiting for the opportunity.
