Chapter 368 The cruelty of war, the mercy of human nature

“Bongbangbangbangbangbang…”

"kill!!!"

Seeing that the large gap was blown open to the Kaifeng city wall ahead, a large number of soldiers ready to go outside the city shouted in unison, and with the sound of the stirring drums, they rushed forward.

Kaifeng City was broken, and the enemy's morale was rising again... Zhu Youyu's face turned pale, and he knew very well that he would repel the enemy that was about to rush in from the gap in the city wall, and then repair the city gate and resist the opportunity to rush to resist was probably slim...

However, at this moment, Zhu Youyu suddenly remembered what his father Zhu Wen told him before he hurriedly evacuated the seal:

"My son... Can Kaifeng City be defended to the death? I have to rely on you all... This is the place where my Zhu family made its fortune, so how can it be easily occupied by Li Tianqu? Not enough, the situation is now dangerous and urgent, of course I know very well... If Kaifeng, Bianzhou, can't defend it anyway, my son must arrange firewood in advance in various parts of the city. Before the enemy attacks in, he will light a fire and burn all the palaces and houses in the city as much as possible.

There is no need to keep the wealth, food and fodder than the enemy's take. If the people of Kaifeng turn to Li Tianqu's people, the number of people under Li Tianqu's rule will be burned to death. It's best if they can burn all the Kaifeng city, and they will definitely not be able to make the child Li Tianqu's vain!"

Of course, Zhu Youyu was also very clear that even if his son could not be said to love the people as much as his son, he also knew that to strengthen his strength, he must be people-oriented. At least since Zhu Wen took over the Xuanwu Army, the capital of Bianzhou has gradually become prosperous and prosperous, and the people can live and work in peace. This is also an important reliance for his Zhu family to fight in the east and west and maintain supplies.

However, Zhu Wen had a completely different face to the people under the rule of hostile forces. He never cared about using the means of massacre to deter threats, and could also attack the number of people on the other side. To put it nicely, it was decisive to kill, but to put it nicely, it was cruel and vicious. Therefore, in Zhu Wen's eyes, the people were more like important war resources. What I could not get and would be stolen by others, so they might as well be destroyed.

However, Zhu Youyu only followed half of his father's instructions.

Because his army was defeated by more than 200,000, Zhu Wen retreated back to Kaifeng, Bianzhou in a panic. Since he was determined to move westward to regain his vitality, he must hurry before Li Tianqu's army took advantage of the situation to block the key roads.

Therefore, Zhu Wen was afraid that he would be entrusted to slow down his journey. The people of Kaifeng, Bianzhou, would not leave. He would manage his own business well, and he accumulated a large amount of supplies such as wealth and military rations, and could not be transferred in all.

Hunted treasures, jade and silk, and even military supplies? Most of them were stored in the palaces that Zhu Wen had been continuously developing and expanding for many years? Zhu Youyu had already expected to send soldiers to lay out firewood everywhere. However, he did not make arrangements according to Zhu Wen's will, and intended to burn out the foundation of the Kaifeng people's homes...

Walking in Kaifeng, Bianzhou in the past? The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment? The scenes of people living and working close to him are still vivid in my mind... Zhu Youyu always believed that no matter what means the Liang Kingdom established by his father was, even if it could not unify the world and end the troubled times in the end? But at least it could maintain the stable livelihoods of the people in the Central Plains under the rule of the Central Plains.

Even if he commands troops to fight, he will never be ruthless. The additional casualties in the war are inevitable... But Zhu Youyu has a belief in it? So he turned around and harmed the people who had been with him for a long time. Zhu Youyu could not do such a thing.

After all, Zhu Youyu, according to historical records, is more compassionate than his father who does everything to achieve his goals.

Kaifeng money, food, supplies, military funds? Even if it cannot be obtained by Li Tianqu... but innocent people have suffered enough after turmoil in troubled times... Father, I was suspicious because I had not followed your will... Now, my son is willing to die for me, Daliang. This is the last time I will go against your will...

Zhu Youyu was feeling emotion in his heart? A group of soldiers immediately rushed forward and asked anxiously:

"Your Highness! The enemy is about to rush into the city when they see it? What should we do??"

"...Deploy a team of soldiers and set fire to the inner city palace? Remember not to affect the houses of the people around you, as for the rest of the tribes..."

Zhu Youyu's face was stern and firm? His eyes were filled with a determined look of heroic death? He then said:

"Let me go with me to resist the enemy army? Even if the opportunity is vague and the city wall collapses, we will build a barrier with our flesh and blood, and fight to the last soldier, and we will still resist the enemy outside the city! All the men, are you willing to fight me to the death again!?"

Even though he was extremely anxious and very impressed, Zhu Youyu, who was highly praised by the soldiers in the army, said this, and a large number of Liang soldiers around him shouted resolutely:

"We have been deeply kind to you in the past, and now it is time to fight to the death! We will not retreat from the bloody battle, and we will swear to live and die with Your Highness and advance and retreat together!"

At this moment, the elite infantrymen of Li Tianqu and other troops outside the city walked forward with neat steps, and were about to climb through the collapsed city wall gap. Although the collapsed gravel accumulated, although the height of nearly one person, the short ladder and pedals were enough to quickly kill the above sergeants.

At the surrounding Kaifeng City Pass, which was bombarded by artillery shells, the remaining defenders knew that Li Tianqu's army would immediately attack the city. Even though the entire city was bombarded beyond recognition and had different degrees of collapse, many colleagues who had been burned half of their bodies rolled and turned and wailed on the ground... Many Liang army guards rushed out of the broken shelter on the head of the city. Seeing that the enemy had already entered the range of the bow and arrow, they drew out a feathered arrow and immediately shot towards the city!

Under Li Tianqu's command, a large number of infantry soldiers were like surging waves. They held up their shields to resist the arrows that were shooting like rain from above, and they rushed forward quickly.

Although it is inevitable that there are soldiers and arrows that keep falling to the ground, there is no need to climb on the towering city walls that are just a few feet tall, braving the woods and rocks, sharp arrows, and boiling oil to boil soup... to fill your life to climb to the top of the city. Even if you rush forward and break the defenders on the city, you can't stop the siege troops from entering Kaifeng City!

However, on the other side of the collapsed city wall, a large number of Liang soldiers blocked them. The generals and soldiers rushed in front of Zhu Youyu, fighting for the safety of His Highness, which Rong Wei and others, to step on the ruins of the city gate to fight with the enemy in a bloody battle. Even if they use their flesh and blood to fill it up and block it, there is still a chance to fight to the end!

Seeing a large number of Liang army guards stepping on the pile of gravel and cracking tiles, they were also rushing towards him, Li Tianqu, among the swords, shields and hands in front, suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed past. Under the cover of his colleagues' team, Zheng Fan glared at the teeth and rushed to the front. Thinking of being able to watch the burning effect of the firearm he developed on the enemy at close range, his face was even more excited!

In the sword and shield hand formations that were mixed in front of him, he heard Zheng Fan's order, and all the soldiers of the Divine Fire Capital swung their arms, and all of them threw out the objects in their hands with the force of rotation acceleration.

Many clay pots filled with hot tinsels immediately hit the Liang soldiers who were rushing to the front. For a moment, the crackling sounds were endless, and some soldiers were smashed to their heads and bleeding. As the clay pots broke one by one, more Liang Jun suddenly felt that their bodies were covered with sticky liquid. The touch was really uncomfortable.

Liang Jun, the first person to lead his troops to rush to block the enemy, changed his face immediately. After experiencing the bombardment of the fierce fire bomb, he immediately realized what means the enemy would use.

However, before the people were waiting for the warning, another rocket suddenly shot out from the infantry formation of Li Tianqu's troops ahead, and a "puff!" sound shot into a soldier covered in turbulent oil. Almost at the same time, another "boom!" sound suddenly broke out, and a raging fire was burning in front of the Liang army, who was swearing to block the gap in the city wall!

Even if you all want to fight to the last moment, add fire and burn your flesh and blood, you can still hold on if you fight to the death!?
