"Architecture!" The artillery trained by Zhang Yuan skillfully filled the shells into the cannon chamber and aimed at the ancient city of Daizhou City.

Two hundred thousand peasant troops surrounded Daizhou City. The dense number made people's scalp numb and they couldn't help but get goose bumps.

Boom! As a wisp of white smoke came out, the whistling shells hit the wooden building on the city wall of Daizhou City, smashing a corner of the eaves to pieces! The wood chips fell on the city wall, and the Ming soldiers on the top of the city hurriedly dodged.

More than 20 bronze cannons sold to Li Zicheng by the Liao army at a high price were adjusted and roared after the tentative shelling!

"Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill!!!" Relying on the might of the cannons, the 200,000 peasant soldiers shouted together, and their momentum was shaking the earth!!!

When the people in the city heard the earth-shaking screams outside the city, even if it was the news of the government blockade, they could imagine how terrifying the crowd outside the city was.

"Oh my god, is this the rumored thief? Why are there so many people..." The general at the top of the city looked down at the bandits outside the city, and his legs were a little weak.

"General, do we really want to resist? What should they do if they slaughter the city because of resistance?" a soldier said tremblingly.

"Silly guy, do you think our fate will be different if you let them in?" the Daizhou governor frowned and shouted.

Although he was nine points timid under the siege of so many peasant troops, he still had a little rationality to tell him that if he surrendered, the people in the city might not be able to escape the cleaning of this locust-like army. It would be better to trade life for life and fight hard, which might bring some vitality! The defeated soldiers who escaped from Taiyuan Prefecture further confirmed his view. It is said that after being trampled by the chaos, nine out of ten rooms were empty.

"But the general... although surrender will be humiliated and robbed, it is still better than massacre of the city..." the soldier said tremblingly.

"You must be a little honest in life! If no one dares to resist these evil people, it will only make them more indulgent. The people who will be destroyed in the future will not only be the people and you and me in our Daizhou City, but also hundreds of millions of subjects in the world! Even if I die, I will not surrender to this group of evil people!" The general gritted his teeth, but said extremely firmly.

The artillery of Li Zicheng's army kept landing on the top of Daizhou City. The walls of Daizhou City were destroyed to varying degrees, but the ancient city was still firm.

"The troops in the city don't seem to be surrendering. Brother Zhang Yuan, your plan seems to have no effect on the officers and soldiers." Li Zicheng stood on the high ground outside the city, looking at the overall situation.

"The reason our strategy did not work is because we have just started performing. Once we resist, we will immediately massacre the city. This is Genghis Khan's method of conquering the world. No one dares to risk the city being broken and slaughtered to continue defending the city. We can completely imitate them. If Daizhou City resists stubbornly to the end, we will kill all the resisting people in Daizhou City!" Zhang Yuan's face twitched a little, and it was obvious that this decision made him a little painful.

Massacre of the city seems to be two simple words, but it means that you have to bear the eternal infamy and become a stain on life.

"Does it really have to massacre the city?" Li Zicheng asked.

"It depends on whether they are going to fight to the end!" Zhang Yuan waved, "The first batch of dead soldiers are ready!"

Forty thousand bandits were divided into the first group of dead soldiers and flocked to Daizhou City from all directions. The ancient Daizhou City was like a small boat in the sea, floating indefinitely.

The Ming soldiers guarding Daizhou City felt unprecedented fear. They were not facing regular opponents at all, but swarms of locusts!

The cannons were still roaring, ignoring the possibility of hitting their own people. What Zhang Yuan wanted was a conquered city. As for the loss of 200,000 locust troops, there was nothing wrong with a bunch of numbers in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

The first batch of refugees of 40,000 people carried the simplest ladder to climb the city wall. There was no place to attack, but it was all based on the preferences of these refugees, which was even more difficult to defend! The generals defending the city could not estimate which section of the city wall would collapse first.

A refugee held a cowhide shield seized from the Ming soldiers and climbed quickly along the cloud ladder. Behind him, refugees followed one by one, with ants attached to the city wall. The archers below kept shooting arrows on the city wall to suppress the Ming defenders at the city wall.

"One, two, three!" Several Ming soldiers worked together to push down the rocks guarding the city.

The big stone rolled down the ladder along the cloud ladder and hit the head of the refugees on the ladder! The victims hit didn't have time to scream, and the white and red bodies rolled down from the ladder. The refugees behind were knocked down by the corpse of their partners and the rocks, falling down like grasshoppers.

Not only stones, but also various defensive equipment such as tinder, gunpowder, bows and arrows fell like flowing water, killing and killing refugees who attacked the city as much as possible! The city has become a world of fire and blood, and countless refugees fell in pools of blood.

There were still refugees pushing forward behind them. These refugees had no way out and were blindly moving forward like cattle and sheep driven away.

"Save some protection materials to us, and we must effectively kill the enemy!" The Daizhou garrison was anxious when he saw the rapid decrease of supplies such as sluice. Seeing that the democratic forces below had not moved yet, if all the supplies were used up, the soldiers guarding the city could only exchange their lives with the refugees. If the defenders of the Daizhou City had thousands of people, they would not last long if they exchanged their lives for their lives.

"The first batch retreats, and the second batch of troops continue!" Zhang Yuan was always paying attention to the offensive in Daizhou City, and he had a rough prediction of the peasant army's ability to withstand it.

After the first batch of 40,000 refugees suffered more than a thousand casualties, he immediately asked the first batch of refugees to withdraw their troops, and the second batch of another 40,000 people began to replace the first batch of siege troops and continue to attack Daizhou City!

The waves of offensives rose and fell like fierce tides, and twenty-four hours were uninterrupted! Even the commander of 200,000 refugees, Li Zicheng, was also terrified by Zhang Yuan's tactics. In Zhang Yuan's eyes, the life of a soldier is not fate at all, everything is just for the purpose of achieving his goal!

"If Daizhou City cannot be held, it is very likely that they will retreat to Ningwu Pass. Ningwu Pass is easier to defend and difficult to attack than Daizhou City. If their troops arrive at Ningwu Pass, they may have to pay several times more casualties than attack and replace the city. Please divide the army into an ambush on the way to Ningwu Pass. We will deliberately release a gap and will surely succeed." Zhang Yuan looked at the surrounding topographic map and said coldly.
