After crossing the Jinshui River, the large group of people stopped less than three miles north of Qingyuan City. There were no reinforcements in the city. Fang Jie's plan to fight the Qingyuan City defenders outside the city was vain. In fact, Fang Jie knew very well that it was almost impossible to wipe out the Qingyuan City defenders outside the city. His purpose was to consume the enemy's troops as much as possible, which would be of great benefit to future sieges.

Stak, who was shot in his shoulder, stabbed in his chest and thighs, and Fu Zhengming, who had half of his forearm cut off, were captured alive and tied up and escorted to Fang Jie.

Fang Xie sat on the white lion with one leg crossed and glanced at the two people in front of him.

This is the first time Fu Zhengming and Shidake have seen Fang Jie. In their understanding, Fang Jie is a demon king who kills without blinking an eye and a cold-hearted comrade. When they were captured alive, they actually knew in their hearts that their fate would not be much better. Fang Jie came under the banner of revenge. Since he is an enemy... how could a miracle happen?

But they didn't expect that, Fang Jie just glanced at them lightly and waved his hand and ordered: "Take it down and apply the medicine to them first."

"Here!"

Several cavalry schools went over and took the people and walked back. Fu Zhengming and Shidake looked at each other, but they didn't understand what Fang understood.

But the injuries on their bodies were indeed very serious. If the bleeding was not stopped in time, the bleeding could also die. The two of them were taken down with anxiety, but at the same time they couldn't help looking back at the young man.

"Hold the stone throwing cart and install the city hammer."

Fang Jie gave an order and raised his eyes to observe the city wall.

"There are at least more than 10,000 troops in the city to defend the city. I asked. The one who broke one arm was Fu Zhengnan's younger brother Fu Zhengming. The 10,000 troops he brought out were his private soldiers. Qingyuan City has been controlled by Fu Zhengming within a radius of hundreds of miles, but Fu Zhengming is guarding the following counties. This time we go south, and Fu Zhengnan urgently transfers Fu Zhengming's team back to Qingyuan City to guard."

Wu Yidao looked at the city opposite and sighed slightly, "More than 10,000 troops were defending the city, and the city wall was so strong, it was not easy to fight."

"What is not easy to hit is not the city wall, but the hearts of the people."

Fang Jie was silent for a while and said, "A city, even if it is strong, more than a hundred stone-dumping cars will eventually be able to suppress the defenders. We still have a captured cannon that can bombard the city gate. Even if the city gate is blocked, the city wall can collapse if it continues for a long time. 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. The people of the surrounding counties are concentrated in the city. Once the people go to the city to defend... this battle will be difficult to fight."

"The general has a way?"

Wei Xiting asked.

"Try to be fast."

Fang Jie said: "The people all have the intention to follow blindly. If the war ends soon and the army enters the city, the people will accept the defeat and let it go. If it takes a long time, if the people in the city have the desire to unite against the enemy, it will be difficult to fight. This is the first city we want to capture. Speaking of which, the people in the Nanyan people are watching. In the past, I have to break the enemy without leaving any survivors, but this time I have to change it... the person coming!"

Fang Jie suddenly thought of something and turned to instruct the people of the cavalry school: "Get more pens, ink, paper and inkstones, find soldiers who can write text messages, tie them to feather arrows and shoot them into the city, telling the people in the city that we are going south to avenge not to rob and kill. As long as Fu Zhengnan hand over the people of Ping Shang Road and the money and food he plundered, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"General..."

Chen Dingnan said in confusion: "When the Nanyan army attacked Pingshang Road, Fu Zhengnan's men did not go north."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "But many of the people plundered by Murong Yongduo were detained by Fu Zhengnan in Qingyuan, and a lot of materials were intercepted. This was what Murong Yongduo told me at the beginning. Fu Zhengnan would definitely not hand over these people and materials, but the people in the city would be angry because of this. As long as the people in the city were not the same as Fu Zhengnan, it would be not worth worrying to destroy the city."

"Here!"

Chen Xiaoru responded and quickly ordered someone to do it.

In just half a day, thousands of written letters were tied to feather arrows.

"Let the stone-throwing chariots fire and suppress the city wall defenders."

Fang answered the order.

Qin Yuan, who had simply treated the wound, took the order again and slowly pushed up with the infantry array. Hundreds of stone throwing cars had been assembled. With the command of the general, the auxiliary soldiers who operated the stone throwing cars immediately started to work, twisted the ropes, pulled down their arms, and then more than a dozen people carried a huge rock and placed it on them.

As the horn sounded, hundreds of stone throwing cars showed their power at the same time.

The defenders on the city wall looked outside nervously. When they saw the stone-throwing cart in the distance waving their arms, they immediately raised their heads and looked into the sky. The stones that were thrown over became bigger and bigger, and then fell on the city wall!

The stone smashed the battlements, and the soldiers of the Nanyan army hiding below were crushed into meat paste before they could even wail. Blood slowly flowed out under the stone, thick and smelly. When they saw a huge stone falling towards this side, the Nanyan archers on the arrow tower immediately howled. They ran down in panic. Half of them were smashed into the ruins by the stone before they could get down. Someone jumped directly from the arrow tower and immediately broke his legs. The white bones stabbed out of the calf, and there were red shredded meat hanging on it.

"Hide behind the city walls! Don't run around!"

Fu Zhengnan personally commanded and shouted 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 move south, so that the people on this land could avoid disaster. This time, they saw the tragic war.

Someone once said that no matter how big a natural disaster is, it is not as harmful as the war disaster.

Perhaps the natural disaster is fierce, and it is not as terrifying as the bloody and bloody war.

With a bang, a huge rock smashed through the roof of the city tower and fell into it. The archers hiding inside were immediately knocked over three or four times. Some were pressed under the big stone, while others were half pressed. A man who looked about forty years old was pressed down on his foot, shouting while pulling out hard. Several people crawled over in panic to save him, pulling his arms and shoulders back hard. With a click, his ankle was broken and finally pulled open. His feet were left under the big stone and his legs were pulled out.

The blood left a trace on the ground, like a reluctance to connect between legs and feet.

The stone-throwing cart kept firing stones, and 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 cracks of the battlements, and the muscles on his face were twitching. He watched helplessly as a large stone flew past the city wall and landed inside the city wall. A wailing sound came from the reserve team inside the city wall.

Can I keep Qingyuan?

Fu Zhengnan asked himself in his heart, but could not give him an answer.

"Stop! Stop!"

I don't know who shouted, but the people who were tilting around the city wall then found that there were no big stones in the sky and continued to fall. The soldiers hiding under the battlements carefully stood up and peeked out. A soldier whose face was scratched by gravel slowly poked his head out and looked out. After finding that the enemy's stone throwing cart had indeed stopped, he couldn't help but cheer, but the shouting was not over yet, and a feather arrow pierced into his eye socket.

"careful!"

"Arrow formation!"

The soldiers of the Nanyan Army who looked out howled and fell down again because they saw the dense array of arrows outside the city wall.

The feather arrows left the bowstring neatly, densely covering the sky and the sun. A black piece flew onto the city wall, and a layer of white feathers were immediately laid on the wall.

Under such a dense array of arrow attacks, the defenders on the city wall could not raise their heads at all.

"fight back!"

Fu Zhengnan pushed away the personal soldiers around him, ran over and kicked the defenders huddled under the walls, and personally operated the crossbow chariot to fight back. Under his guidance, the defenders on the city wall finally began to fight back, and the crossbow chariot and archers began to operate. Although they were smashed by the stone throwing chariot before, most of the crossbow chariots on the city wall could still be used. For the arrow formation, the lethality of the crossbow chariot can be imagined.

But not long after the counterattack on the city wall began, they were surprised to find that the arrow formation outside the city had retreated!

“Huh?”

A soldier saw the feather arrows tied on his companion's body look strange. He pulled them out and found a note tied to it. The note was blurred with blood stains, but he could still see the words on it clearly.

"What are you looking at!"

A team was coming over and snatching the note, and after reading it, his face changed immediately.

"Revenge...they are here to take revenge...they are here to get back what they were stolen."

The team was murmuring at the endless team outside the city: "What did we...provoke!"

...

...

When Fu Zhengnan knew about the notes tied to the feather arrow, many soldiers had already seen the notes. A man ran over to find Fu Zhengnan with bloody notes. After Fu Zhengnan saw them, his hands were trembling with anger.

"Shameless!"

He threw away the note: "Transfer to my military order. Anyone who dares to discuss this matter privately will be killed immediately! Tell the soldiers that this is the enemy's plan of discord that came to mind! Don't believe them. If I hand over those people, I will open the city gate. When the city gate comes, they will immediately kill in!"

This general wanted to persuade Fu Zhengnan for a few words, but he simply handed over the people and supplies. He heard Fu Zhengnan roaring like this, but he didn't dare to say it. The Qingyuan City did intercept the people and money that Murong Yongduo led his troops to plunder. Nanyan, especially the major cities in the north of Nanyan, had a relatively sparse population. Although the taxes on the Ping Shang Road of the Great Sui Dynasty were not light, they were much better than Nanyan, and the people lived a wealthy life.

Especially the merchants walking in the Sui Dynasty, they always depict how comfortable and rich the life of the Sui people on the Pingzhuang Road or even further away, so that a large number of people from the Southern Yan secretly ran to the Great Sui Dynasty. The border troops of the Great Sui Dynasty never stopped such matters, and the governments in the southwest naturally did not stop them. They all hoped that the Southern Yan people would escape more.

As a result, fewer and fewer people in several big cities north of Southern Yan.

So Fu Zhengnan was naturally jealous when he saw the people and things sent back by Murong Yongduo. Now nearly 20,000 people in the city are all people from Ping Shangdao of the Great Sui Dynasty.

He ordered all the notes to be collected and burned, and no one was allowed to discuss them. But such things could not be stopped at all. Soon, the Sui people came to return the people and supplies and spread them. In less than a day, such rumors began to appear in the city. By the next day, the degree of spread of this matter could be described as madness.

"The Sui army outside the city said that as long as the Sui people and the materials they plundered were handed over, they would not kill anyone!"

"At this time, the city lord still wants to save those money and things! We don't take our lives seriously!"

"I heard that the general named Fang, who led the army, was a demon who killed people without blinking. If the city lord refused him, I am afraid that we will not escape the disaster on the day the city was destroyed."

"I also heard that the Fang surnamed said to kill five times... 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, they will implicate the nine tribes!"

"Live! Don't have the Sui people!"

"Live! Don't have the Sui people!"

At noon the next day, thousands of people gathered outside the city lord's mansion and shouted. Fu Zhengnan did not expect that this matter would spread so quickly. He wanted to explain, but he knew that it was impossible to explain clearly. He knew better than anyone else that as long as the city gate was opened, the Black Flag Army would immediately rush in and take away everything he had. He didn't understand even more. How could this matter spread so quickly? How could those people who were respectful to themselves on weekdays have the courage to gather together to protest?

The Nanyan army blocked the streets outside the city lord's mansion and did not allow people to approach, but the people still gathered in the distance and shouted. The soldiers looked at each other. In fact, they were also thinking, would they survive if they really returned those people and things? They couldn't help but think of the five kills that Fang Jie had brought weapons, kill them! Many people subconsciously looked at the weapons in their hands and shivered.

"It's our turn!"

Successfully encouraged the people to take to the streets to protest, and smiles appeared on the faces of some people hidden in the crowd.
