Chapter 169 Miracles and Assassinations

On the third day of the siege, there were no reinforcements, and none of them. Lu Xuan did not attack.

On the fourth day, there was no reinforcement. Lu Xuan did not attack.

On the fifth day, there was no reinforcement. Lu Xuan did not attack

......

On the tenth day, Lu Xuan and Zhu Youjian met again under the city wall.

"Your Majesty, it's been ten days. Where is your army of kings?"

Zhu Youjian's face turned red, but there was a slight pride in his eyes. These days, he has continuously cleared out a large number of "traitors" in the defenders and thought he had consolidated the city's defense. Even if Lu Xuan really attacked, he could definitely hold on. The food and grass in the city is enough to consume half a year. If he continues to consume this, he will definitely have an advantage.

But at the same time, the rebels did not attack, and they didn't know what they were waiting for. They just watched the capital quietly there every day. Zhu Youjian didn't understand, and the court officials and the people in the city were even less familiar with it. Their feelings about this were that there was a knife hanging above their heads. It staggered, but it just didn't fall down.

The invisible pressure gradually increased over time. What made Zhu Youjian even more desperate was that the reinforcements he was looking forward to were not at all. In fact, it was not entirely no movement. During this period, there were one or two reinforcements coming. However, halfway through, they were defeated by Lu Xuan's firearm battalion. There was no need for too many people, only 5,000 firearm battalions and twenty shotguns, they could defeat more than 50,000 reinforcements halfway.

In these ten days, Lu Xuan repelled at least 100,000 reinforcements, creating an isolated and helpless state for the capital.

Time continues to go on, and it is the fifteenth day.

A sound began to appear in the capital. Without reinforcements, all the Yuan reinforcements had been wiped out. The capital was already an isolated city. The sound was only circulated privately at the beginning. But somehow, within a day, it quickly spread throughout the capital. The balance that could have been maintained on the surface was instantly broken.

Zhu Youjian was at ease, but fortunately he had cleared out the unstable factors in the army before. Now the remaining soldiers are loyal. There will be no problem with the city defense.

Little did he know that at this time, Lu Xuan was looking at the "secret letter" in front of him with a speechless look on his face.

"Is this a secret letter? Seventy-nine secret letters?" Ding Baiying, who was standing beside him, was speechless. The people in the capital were not pure fools. At least Lu Xuan was noticed by them at a piece of intelligence point in the capital. The people who originally needed to secretly convey the secret letters have now begun to communicate with Lu Xuan blatantly.

At least nine officers guarding the city said that they could secretly open the city gate at night and let Lu Xuan's army come in. At the same time, as long as they could ensure his safety, wealth and other things.

These are routine operations, and there are even more exaggerated ones. It means that they are ready, and as long as Lu Xuan nods, they will immediately become an illegitimate son of the Zhu family. At that time, they can take the initiative to get rid of Zhu Youjian, and at the same time give Lu Xuan a bloodline to prove it. Then, they will naturally assist Lu Xuan in taking office.

This operation is so sultry that Lu Xuan doesn't know how to deal with it.

In addition to these official figures, many wealthy businesses also sent secret letters, indicating that they could provide money, food and grass. As long as Lu Xuan broke the city, don’t make things difficult for them.

It's strange that Lu Xuan had never used any force to the capital. However, most of the people in the capital had begun to unknowingly believe that the capital would definitely not be able to defend it.

Lu Xuan thought for a while, picked some out of it, and then sent it to Zhu Youjian. There was another chaos in the capital. Zhu Youjian was already numb. He now relied on the news of rebels and traitors to punish the traitors in the city. This made him wonder how to describe his inner traitors.

At first, he should have believed that this was a plan of disagreement. However, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory joined forces and soon found a large amount of evidence, and Zhu Youjian did not believe it.

After another purge, Zhu Youjian eliminated more than a dozen traitors with two hearts. But this time, he no longer felt the same relaxation as before. In just half a month, this phenomenon of unstable human hearts continued to occur. Many of them, even the officials in the court. If they dragged on, they were afraid that those originally loyal soldiers would start to shake.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know why the reinforcements are not coming. But if you delay this, the morale of the army will be lost. For the current plan, what do we need to do. The old minister thinks that we can fight a war."

"How to fight? Do you have a way?"

"It's not a solution, but it's worth a try. The rebels' long expedition seems to be sufficient for food and grass now. However, it's impossible to compare with the reserves of the capital in any case. As long as we can destroy the enemy's food and grass, this battle will naturally be won without a fight."

"You can tell me more."

Burning food and grass. This is a classic tactic of ancient wars. Especially in film and television dramas, this technique has become a means for screenwriters to cheat. In just one sentence, the food and grass will be burned.

But if you really want to operate it, it is not a simple operation. Food and grass will inevitably be heavily guarded in the army. Unless you can detour the rear and directly attack the enemy's transportation route, attacking food and grass in the enemy's camp will be similar to completely defeating the opponent.

The next day, Lu Xuan received the news. Zhu Youjian wanted to attack the camp and burn his food and grass. He laughed and handed the news to Lu Wenzhao. As the steward, Lu Wenzhao was responsible for logistics food and grass.

"This... is guaranteed that there will be no problems."

"I know, but the camp was probably one of the few loyal and righteous people in that city. If possible, save their lives."

When the strength is crushed, the effect of any conspiracy will be greatly reduced. And various strange weapons and tricks will naturally lose their space to apply. The attack camp is just a farce. About 30 elite troops from the Ming army tried to sneak into the military camp at night and burn Lu Xuan's food and grass. As a result, there is no need to look at it. As soon as they approached the camp, they were caught neatly.

When the soldiers saw that the irritation was not done, they directly ignited the turbulent oil tank on their bodies and rushed towards Lu Xuan's army. However, with the precautions, they only caused minor injuries to a few soldiers. Three other soldiers failed to ignite the turbulent oil on their bodies and were captured alive.

Lu Xuan was very interested in them. They tied the turmeric oil on their bodies, and there was no doubt that they came with the determination to die. Despite the opposing positions of these people, Lu Xuan still admired them.

"What guarantee has the court given you that will make you die willingly?" Lu Xuan squatted in front of the surviving soldiers and asked.

A soldier looked up at him, as if he was looking at something. Lu Xuan saw his movements and felt a little moved. During this period, he studied Japanese ninjutsu and extracted some skills to exercise his body, which made him realize.

He noticed that although the soldier was tied up and fell to the ground, his muscles were in a state of tension. After looking at his face, the other party seemed to have confirmed something. His body suddenly moved, and Ding Baiying's face changed, and he drew his sword and took action in an instant.

A head soared into the sky. She looked back at Lu Xuan and saw Lu Xuan playing with a tiny steel needle in his hand.

"The one hidden in his mouth should have been poisoned. Even if he doesn't kill him, he won't live long. But this killing game is very interesting. The planner knows that I will definitely meet these 'survivors'. He knows me very well."
