"The battle report came from the front, saying that the Nanjing Forbidden Army provoked the local people to attack our soldiers. Many people jumped from the houses facing the street with explosive bags and died together with our soldiers. The casualties were very heavy, and Ao Ye had already suffered casualties.

Two companies.

The Second Master's Marine Corps also lost almost two companies. All the remaining units also suffered losses! What's even more immoral is that they actually found some old ladies and took advantage of our soldiers who couldn't bear to attack. They hugged our soldiers.

, and then released the child with the explosive bag tied to his body. The child looked for his grandma, and the result was...!"

Nie Dahu couldn't continue talking. He could imagine the despair in the hearts of the soldiers when they saw the children running over with explosive bags.

"If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we have to kill everyone in Jinling before we can completely occupy Jinling." Li Xiao also gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Wen Tiren and the others to be so cruel and encourage the local people to deal with the Liao soldiers.

They know that this will arouse the murderous intention of the soldiers. The army is the most efficient killing organization in the world. Once the murderous intention arises...!

Insidious! What they want is to arouse the hatred of the Liao army, and then they will retaliate and massacre the people in the city. There are millions of people living in the city. Do they really want to slaughter all these millions of people?

If such a thing really happens, Li Xiao's reputation in history will definitely surpass that of Bai Qi, and he will become a new generation of human beings.

"It's too hasty. After their propaganda, the people have a deep prejudice against us!" Li Xiao glanced at the smoke-filled Jinling City. The army that was going crazy was like a ferocious wolf. Jinling City

People will inevitably have to pay the price for their ignorance.

"My two regiments also suffered heavy losses, and the people of Jinling City were desperate for their lives. They jumped out of the houses on both sides of the street with explosive bags, and there were sharpshooters everywhere. This is indeed a bit difficult to do. When you came down

When I gave that order, I was still thinking whether it was too much. Now it seems that it is still far from enough. Commander, what do you think we should do now?"

"We have no choice but to fight inward. It's difficult to reach this level. Once we stop fighting, our losses will be even greater. Those two bastards Wen Tiren and Ma Shiying don't take human life seriously at all.

In this way, I asked Nie Dahu to let out the east gate. As long as the people of Jinling City want to go out of the city, they can go through the east gate. This can divert some people. In addition... I sent people to shout along the street that if the Nanjing Forbidden Army soldiers surrender, we will go back.

Guarantee their safety, and give each of them two taels of silver for travel home. What they did in Jinling will be forgotten!" Li Xiao finally understood how important the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners formulated by Taizu was.

When the enemy is surrounded to death, blind squeezing can only make the resisters more determined to resist.

"Commander! This may be a bit difficult to handle. The brothers are all furious. What if...!" Nie Dahu's eyes widened and he was very worried about Li Xiao's order.

"Execute it! This way, fewer people will die, whether it is the Nanjing Forbidden Army or our soldiers. By the way! Make the Nanjing Forbidden Army prisoners when you shout, or capture a Jinling resident to shout. Don't let the brothers rush forward stupidly.

Everyone in Jinling City is crazy!

Nie Dahu, all your troops have been withdrawn and are monitoring on both sides. The Nanjing Forbidden Army who has been pushed out will have their travel expenses paid by you. Anyone who pretends to claim it will be killed!"

"promise!"

"promise!"

Yuan Chonghuan and Nie Dahu said "Promise" and turned to leave.

Even if Li Xiao calculated it, he could not overestimate the shamelessness of Wen Tiren and Ma Shiying. In order to cause trouble for Li Xiao, they even spared these unarmed people. The people were just a card in their hands. As for how to play this card

These two bastards will never care how many people will die if they go out.

How selfish can a person be to do such outrageous things? For them, their high official position and generous salary are the most important thing. All other things are insignificant. Who will care about the flood after I die?

Tao Tian. Li Xiao now wants to cut these two bastards into thousands of pieces, but even if they are cut into dices and slices, the people of Jinling are destined to experience such a catastrophe.

People are easily fooled. Sun Chengzong said this. Li Xiao didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it.

According to the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius, Wen Tiren can be regarded as a person who has been studying classics and history since childhood. No matter whether Li Xiao looked at him horizontally or vertically, he could not see any moral integrity in this bastard.

"Listen, everyone. The adults of the Liao Army will let you live a life and leave the city along the east gate. Brothers of the Forbidden Army, put down your weapons. The Liao Army will not kill the prisoners." A captured young officer of the Forbidden Army was at the gunpoint of Hei Niu.

He walked forward. To be honest, he didn't quite believe whether the dark-skinned battalion commander was telling the truth or a lie.

"Everyone, listen...!" I shouted over and over again, but no one came out on the street. At the same time, many rumors were widely circulated among the refugees.

"My second aunt's son's third uncle's fourth uncle was arrested by the Liao army last night. Later he ran back. These Liao soldiers are not human beings! They blocked the crowd in the alley and started shooting with guns. The soldiers held

He stabbed the man with a bayonet twice when he saw that he was still screaming."

"Really or not?"

"Can this thing be false? His old man saw it with his own eyes. Although he is ninety years old, he managed to climb the wall and run back with his nimble hands and feet."

"I also heard that the Liao soldiers drove people into the house, then set fire to the house and burned the people inside alive."

"I heard from my third uncle yesterday that a Liao soldier killed three old ladies. He tied their heads around his waist and wandered around...!"

"Today the Liao soldiers shouted, telling everyone to run along the east gate. They also said that as soon as you leave the east gate, there will be a porridge restaurant run by the Liao soldiers to treat everyone to a meal."

"More than that! I heard that the Forbidden Army surrendered, and each person was given two taels of silver for travel expenses."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Didn't that guy named Wang who came back from Yangzhou that day say that as long as we go out, we will be tied up in a bunch and stabbed to death with bayonets. Damn, you want to use this trick to trick us out.

There is no way, no one can be regarded as a fool."

"It's just that we in Jinling are not as easy to deceive as the people in Yangzhou."

"Grandma, let's fight with them. One fight is enough to earn money, and two fights make one. Grandpa is going to sign up to join the death squad. Even if he dies, he will have to support two people."

"Brother Ergou is right, I am one of them. Damn it, let those people from Liaodong know that we also have pure men in Jinling."

After receiving Li Xiao's order, they no longer penetrated into the city from outside the east gate. Instead, they gathered their troops and occupied the city wall to ensure that the city gate was open. The city gate was opened, and a pot was set up to cook porridge two miles away.

But from morning to night, only 1,800 people came out outside the East Gate. The Nanjing Forbidden Army surrendered even more pitifully, only more than 100 people.

Seeing the number of people who took the initiative to leave the city, Li Xiao closed his eyes in pain. The Battle of Jinling was heading towards a meat grinder. There were millions of people in Jinling and tens of thousands of troops guarding them. He had calculated everything, so

These tens of thousands of people. And these tens of thousands of people are the only mobile force in Li Xiao's hands.

"Order all the ministries to stop fighting. Withdraw the city walls of Jinling and shoot all those who approach the walls. Open the city gates and allow the people in the city to leave the city at will. They are allowed to go out but not enter. Jinling is surrounded by me.

Millions of people can consume grain as high as a hill every day. I would like to know how much grain they have in stock and how long they can last." There was really no other way, so Li Xiao could only continue the siege.

Those who want to come out can leave the city, but those who don't want to come out. But I'm sorry, no one will care if you starve to death in the city. Li Xiao is not prepared to continue fighting like this, the casualties are really high. If Jinling is really defeated, I am afraid that I will
Chapter completed!
