The resounding words echoed in the hall, shaking the hearts of every Jiaozhou official.

Shi Xie's words moved the officials.

Since Tang Hai didn't want them, they would unite to fight against Tang Hai.

Protect the current power and wealth.

An official in the crowd raised his arms and shouted: "We must not let Tang Hai do whatever he wants in Jiaozhou!"

"We all have the responsibility to resist Tang Hai!"

The roars of the Jiaozhou officials rose one after another.

The originally silent hall of the official temple was rendered as noisy as a vegetable market.

The Jiaozhou officials who were eager to discuss surrender before were now full of indignation.

All shouted to resist Tang Hai.

As if Tang Hai was their biggest enemy.

Under Shi Xie's order, the entire city of Jiaozhou was mobilized.

The officials gathered their slaves at home, and all the men except children and the elderly who could not walk were pulled out to serve as soldiers.

The local nobles also joined the resistance.

They had heard about what Tang Hai had done in other places.

The local tyrants were Tang Hai's main targets.

The land was taken over by the government.

This alone was unbearable for the Jiaozhou nobles.

The land was their life.

Tang Hai wanted to take their lives, so they would fight to the death.

Jiaozhou City entered into a tense preparation for war.

But at some point, a message spread among the ordinary people like wings.

The Tanghai government harvested the land of the nobles and distributed it to the ordinary people.

This has already been implemented in Yangzhou.

The news spread like wildfire among the ordinary people.

The people who didn't want to participate in the war didn't want to work for the Jiaozhou dignitaries.

Should they help those damn guys defend the city and let them continue to bully themselves?

Although the people are stupid, they also have a debt in their hearts.

No matter how cruel and worthless the new government is, can it be worse than the old one?

The current government wants to take away all the food from the people.

They won't leave them any grain.

If the new government is better than the current one, it will be a great victory for them.

Not to mention, it is rumored that the Tanghai government dealt with the local nobles and distributed land to all the people.

That would be a great thing.

The people of Jiaozhou are eagerly waiting.

Although the officials gave various orders, the people were slow to work and did not work hard.

Shi Xie personally put on armor and held a sword, preparing everything related to the battle.

He gathered up the fighting spirit and took the Jiaozhou officials to the city wall.

Not long after he climbed the city wall, the Tanghai navy arrived.

Shi Xie looked out into the wilderness and saw that the Tanghai army formation was unusually neat, without any chaos.

Just one glance, and you can tell that the Tanghai soldiers are extremely elite.

He gasped, and the confidence he had just recovered was instantly lost.

He finally understood why the Tanghai army could easily defeat the Jiaozhou army.

Look at their soldiers.

The iron armor they wore gleamed in the sunlight.

The weapons in their hands were extremely sophisticated, and even at a distance of two hundred steps, they could still feel the sharpness of the weapons.

Not to mention the strong bodies of those soldiers.

They were much stronger than the Jiaozhou generals.

Shi Xie's eyes swept over.

He was attracted by several strong men who were obviously Tanghai generals.

The old general with gray beard was vigorous, and was taller and wider than the very strong soldiers beside him.

In comparison, the Tanghai soldiers looked a little weak.

Two rough men stood on the left and right, holding swords and halberds, all holding huge weapons.

Shi Xie's hands trembled when he saw it, and he almost threw away his sword.

The Jiaozhou officials looked at the strength and eliteness of Tang Hai's soldiers, far beyond their imagination.

There was complete silence on the city wall.

It was very different from the previous enthusiastic situation in the official temple hall shouting to drive away the Tang navy.

"Gulp."

The sound of swallowing saliva sounded on the city wall.

The Jiaozhou officials felt that they had made an extremely wrong decision.

But this decision was forced by Tang Hai.

They had to resist.

I really want to join!

Many officials shouted in their hearts.

Why don't you want us?

Under the city, Liu Yu directly ordered, "Prepare to shoot, and go straight to the key figures."

"Elite archers aim at different figures."

"After the shooting order is issued, strive to kill the key figures of Jiaozhou."

"Yes!" Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan responded and turned back to enter the army.

They arranged elite archers to hide behind other soldiers.

Squatting on the ground to set up the Shenbi crossbow.

Aiming at the wall through the gaps between the soldiers.

On the wall, Shi Xie took the initiative to speak and broke the silence, "My Jiaozhou army has never had any conflict with Tanghai."

"Why did Tanghai District Mu lead his troops to attack?"

"If this move is known to the world, it will surely be said that Tang Hai bullies the weak!"

"If you don't want to be cursed by the world, retreat quickly."

"I will let bygones be bygones..."

Under the city, Liu Yu raised his arm, and with the sound of a gun, his arm fell.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of the Shenbi crossbow firing was continuous.

Arrows shot out rapidly.

"Ah! ! "

On the city wall, Shi Xie was the first to be hit.

Shi Xie, covering his eyes, fell to the ground on the spot.

The arrow shot by Huang Zhong entered his left eye and went straight through the back of his head.

The sharp arrowhead pierced through the skull, shaking the eyes of every soldier on the city wall.

Screams rang out in succession.

The Jiaozhou soldiers came to their senses and found that those who were shot were all officials.

Some were shot in the chest, some in the forehead, and some in the neck.

The deaths were all tragic.

The Jiaozhou soldiers who reacted quickly crawled on the ground.

The power and range of Tanghai's crossbows were completely beyond their imagination.

That was two hundred steps away!

It's not that the Jiaozhou officials were careless, but they had never seen a crossbow with a range of more than one hundred and fifty steps!

Tanghai's military equipment was too powerful.

"Listen, people on the city wall! "

Liu Yu turned over and dismounted, shouting behind the loudspeaker raised by Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"I am Liu Yu Liu Chengzhi, the governor of Tanghai District."

"I am here with the Tanghai army to clean up the local wealthy and unkind nobles."

"Reclaim the land for the government, and then distribute it to ordinary people for cultivation."

"Let every family have land to plant and food to eat."

"The soldiers on the city wall can stand up and listen."

"The Tanghai soldiers will not continue to shoot arrows."

Under Liu Yu's persuasion, the Jiaozhou soldiers crawling on the ground mustered up their courage, climbed up from the ground, squatted behind the battlements and secretly observed.

"Yangzhou has completed the government ownership of land under the transformation of the Tanghai government."

Liu Yu's voice continued.

"There are no more nobles in the local area, and everyone is an ordinary citizen. ”

“Under the governance of Tanghai government, there will be no more bullying officials, and no more powerful families who annex land.”

“Everyone can have enough food and clothing, a house to live in and books to read.”

“If you don’t open the city gates to welcome the Tanghai army now, when will you do it?”

The inspiring words stimulated the ordinary soldiers on the city wall.

The young people were the first to be inspired by the words.

Some people jumped up and shouted: “Open the city gates! Fight the powerful families with Lord Tanghai District Mu and divide the land! !”
