The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 450: Persuading to Surrender 2
Time flies, just like this two days passed, and the siege equipment has also been built.

In fact, if it was a real army fighting, such a little time would definitely not be enough, but they only had more than 1000 people.

"With two cloud carts and seven or eight long ladders, they can launch an attack on Liaoping.

Of course, Yong Jun was just setting up his posture at this moment, and was not in a hurry to attack.

At this moment, the people at the forefront of the military formation are the common people, and they have to bear the heavy responsibility of persuading them to surrender.

The Ming army defending the city basically had no long-range weapons, so when these people approached, they could only stand on the city wall and watch.

Zhu Jinzhang was also on the city wall at the moment, looking at the people gradually approaching in the distance, he was thinking about Zhao Yanxun's purpose.

"Brothers on the city wall... we Shangxingyuan people, you should surrender quickly..."

"Don't rebel with the surname Zhu, you can't fight against the court..."

"Surrender now, His Royal Highness King Yong said, and your sins will be absolved!"

"Prince Yong also said that if anyone catches Zhu Jinzhang, he will be rewarded with fifty stones of grain if he lives, and ten stones of grain for those who die!"

"Fifty shi of grain, enough food for a family of three for two or three years!"

Hearing these words, Zhu Jinzhang almost died of anger, because the surname Zhao is so disgusting to himself.

"Stone them and drive them away!"

Zhu Xiaohe on the side reminded: "Brother, they are separated by seven or eight feet, we are afraid we won't be able to hit them!"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinzhang said: "Then only half of the people will be left on the wall, and the rest will go down and rest!"

He had heard too much of these "nonsense", and he was afraid that his subordinates would really disagree, so it was better to let some people go off the wall, and listen as little as possible.

Veterans were mixed with new recruits, and these people went down the city wall one after another, making the city wall less crowded.

After everyone got down the city wall, Zhu Jinzhang also went down, and he called everyone to give a lecture.

"Official army, bullshit official army...the imperial court is gone, don't believe their nonsense!"

"Those people have taken the benefits of King Yong, so dare to say anything, don't be fooled by them!"

"Our hands are all stained with the blood of the south. If we surrender... everyone will die!"

"Think about it, if we really surrendered, would they be willing to use so much food to support our enemies?"

Zhu Jinzhang's words made everyone present change their minds, and the floating military spirit was stabilized.

But after all, the war is about to break out, and panic is still spreading in the city at this moment. Nearly ten thousand people are huddled in their homes, waiting for the uncontrollable fate to come.

Unlike the panic inside the city, the Yong army outside the city was relatively relaxed. In their eyes, this was a battle that must be won.

Standing in the army formation, Zhao Yanxun observed Zhu Jinzhang's situation.

Although this guy was standing on the city wall, he had been hiding behind the female wall, not giving him the slightest chance to kill him.

Of course, Zhao Yanxun still carried the bow and arrow with him, in case the opportunity to shoot and kill came, he could grasp it.

At this moment, Zhang Ziming was brought over again, and Huang Tianyan led the escort.

"Did you see what happened just now?" Zhao Yanxun looked into the distance and asked.

"I see, I'm afraid it won't be very useful to use these common people to persuade them to surrender. Zhu Jinzhang is not a fool!" Zhang Ziming said in a cold tone.

Zhang Ziming also has a deep understanding of Zhu Jinzhang's method of appeasing people's hearts, so he doesn't think that simply persuading him to surrender can defeat the defenses of the Ming army.

Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly, turned around and said, "It's not to persuade them to surrender, but to give them hope!"

"Hope?" Zhang Ziming was puzzled.

"As long as there is hope of surviving, they will think of surrendering instead of resisting until death!"

"And the greater the hope, the sooner they will surrender after the real fight!"

After such an explanation, Zhang Ziming finally understood the meaning of "hope".

"Tell me, who has the best chance of winning this battle?"

Faced with this problem, Zhang Ziming didn't need to think too much. He had been thinking about it for the past two days.

"you!"

After getting this answer, Zhao Yanxun turned to Liaoping Fucheng again, turned his back to Zhang Ziming and said, "Since the result is already doomed, the fewer people who die naturally, the better. Would you like to persuade them to surrender together?"

Zhang Ziming didn't rush to answer, he was very confused at the moment.

At this time, Huang Tianyan plucked up his courage and said, "Old Zhang, don't you love the lives of the common people the most? What are you thinking about now?"

To go or not to go?Zhang Ziming is still struggling.

It is definitely necessary to go, but it also means that he betrayed Zhu Jinzhang, and Zhang Ziming became a treacherous villain.

"Go!" Huang Tianyan looked anxious.

He could feel that if Zhang Ziming still didn't know what was good and what was wrong, he would definitely die this time.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun reminded softly: "Great righteousness and small righteousness, you score clearly!"

These words were like a slap in the face, and Zhang Ziming, who was extremely entangled, felt as if he was enlightened at this moment.

"I'm going to persuade you to surrender!" Zhang Ziming said frankly.

Zhu Jinzhang harmed the people, such people should be knocked down, so as not to let the people in Liaoping Fucheng suffer from it.

Based on this kind of thinking, Zhang Ziming felt that he had not surrendered to Zhao Yanxun, so he couldn't talk about betraying anyone.

Zhao Yanxun was not too surprised by Zhang Ziming's choice, he just nodded slightly: "Go!"

Zhang Ziming didn't hesitate, and walked forward.

After Zhang Ziming left, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Huang Tianyan and said, "I hope he really has the skills you said!"

Huang Tianyan hurriedly bowed and replied: "I dare not speak nonsense!"

If Zhang Ziming is really capable, then it is not impossible to use it.

Zhao Yanxun's staff is extremely short of talents, and even less talented like Zhang Ziming who cares about the people's livelihood, so he is willing to give Zhang Ziming a chance.

Besides, Zhang Ziming walked to the front, and under the gaze of all the people, he looked at the city wall and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I am Zhang Ziming..."

"Liaoping, you can't hold it, don't make unnecessary resistance, surrender..."

Not to mention the content of Zhang Ziming's words, as long as he himself appeared under the city wall to persuade him to surrender, it would have a great impact on the soldiers above.

The most capable Qianhu on my side has surrendered to the enemy at this moment, and the city of Liaoping Prefecture cannot be defended...

It has to be said that Zhang Ziming speaks more than the rest of the people combined.

"As long as you surrender, King Yong will not embarrass you!"

The people on the side followed suit and shouted: "That's right, surrender quickly, Lord Yong has white flour steamed buns here!"

"Zhu Jinzhang is not a human being, he killed innocent people indiscriminately, following him will be punished by God..."

On the city wall, the hearts of the soldiers were already in a mess.

After suffering repeated defeats, they didn't have much fighting spirit, and at this moment, all of them felt like surrendering.

Just as he appeased the people under the city wall, Zhu Jinzhang hurried back to the city wall and shouted to the guarding soldiers: "Don't believe his nonsense, after surrendering...they will rob us of food, and they won't let us live!"

"Food, there is a shortage of food everywhere now, they are here to grab our food!" Zhu Jinzhang was hysterical.

It has to be said that these words are indeed convincing, at least the heart of surrender raised by most people has been suppressed at this moment.

Hiding behind the female wall, Zhu Jinzhang yelled: "Zhang Ziming, I'm really blind, and I call you a brother and brother with you, a bastard who eats inside and out!"

"How much benefit did the surname Zhao give you? It made you willing to come and harm us brothers!"

Being targeted all the time, Zhang Ziming is not a vegetarian, he only heard him reply: "Zhu Jinzhang, you are not as good as a beast, how many evil things you did in Xingyuanliu'an, you don't know in your heart?"

Who knew that Zhu Jinzhang cursed: "What evil did I do? You really know how to turn black and white. Yong Jun killed all the people in Xingyuan Liu'an. Are you going to fall on my head?"

Good guy, this is really turning black and white, so much so that Zhang Ziming doesn't know how to proceed at this moment.

"Brothers, never give up resistance, even if you die in battle...we will never let anyone slaughter us!"

After Zhu Jinzhang's words fell, Zhu Xiaohe shouted: "Never let anyone slaughter you!"

"Never be slaughtered!" The soldiers shouted.
