Now they've sent these surrendered government troops to the city walls to persuade the soldiers to surrender.
This demonstrates the "three-nine-three" principle of Liangshan's gentleness!
Zhao Xin knew this clearly.
After being tossed around like this by Liangshan,
The garrison of Yizhou Prefecture gained morale.
I'm afraid there's very little left.
Even with government intervention,
I'm afraid that once the Liangshan army arrives,
They won't be able to hold out for long!
We still need to think of a way...
Zhao Xin gritted his teeth.
He gave instructions to the soldiers behind him.
"Go to the prison and bring that Liangshan bandit to the city wall!"
.........
At the foot of Yizhou city,
Sun An led two thousand infantrymen.
They kept watch over the more than one thousand government troops who had been persuaded to surrender.
Seeing the city wall,
Some officials and soldiers had already begun to whisper among themselves.
Sun An was quite satisfied with the results he had achieved.
But unexpectedly, at this moment,
Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the city tower of Yizhou Prefecture.
A tall, burly man
He was then hoisted up by the government troops with ropes!
Then,
Two government soldiers picked up leather whips,
Then he lashed out at the man!
That big man was tough too.
in a moment,
He was then whipped until his entire body was covered in welts.
But he kept his teeth clenched.
Silence!
Who is that man?
Sun An frowned and asked Qiong Ying beside him,
"I don't recognize them; they're probably not one of the leaders or brothers from the mountain."
Qiong Ying shook her head.
Sun An, however, had already understood.
"Ah, this brother must be Teacher Luan's brother, Luan Tingfang!"
really,
The next moment, they heard from the city tower,
Someone shouted loudly,
"Listen up, you Liangshan bandits, all you have to do is make noise below the city walls,"
"We'll take our whips and teach this brother a lesson!"
"Let's see, it's you bandits who've lost your voices first,"
"It was this brother of yours who we beat to death first!"
After saying this,
The government troops on the city wall immediately began whipping Luan Tingfang, who was hanging up, again.
"Brother Sun An, let's retreat first,"
Qiongying couldn't help but advise,
"The reason we sent troops this time is to rescue Instructor Luan's brother!"
"If he were really beaten to death by the government troops on the city wall, how would we explain it to Teacher Luan?"
Sun An was somewhat unwilling,
But this is all we can do now.
"Fine, we've achieved our goal for today, let's just leave!"
.........
The Liangshan soldiers escorted over a thousand government troops prisoners away from the city wall.
Zhao Xin watched their retreating figures.
I breathed a sigh of relief. ...2.0.....
Anyway,
I finally got through today!
"Take this Liangshan bandit back to jail,"
Zhao Xin looked at Luan Tingfang, who was hanging upside down, and gave instructions to his subordinates.
"Find a doctor to treat him, don't let this guy die."
"Judging from Liang Shan's reaction just now, he is obviously quite concerned about this guy."
"Keep him; he might be useful in other ways later..."
Chapter 537 Methods of Siege
Sun An led his troops, escorting the surrendered government soldiers back to the Liangshan camp.
He then recounted the events in Yizhou Prefecture.
When Luan Tingyu heard that his own brother had been hung on the city wall and whipped,
His eyes immediately reddened.
"Chief, my brother..."
"Teacher Luan, rest assured,"
Zhao Yuan assured him,
"Now that our army has besieged the city, we should not be too worried about your life until we defeat Liangshan."
"As for the suffering he is enduring now, we'll deal with that when we conquer Yizhou Prefecture."
"Liangshan will uphold justice for him!"
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
Luan Tingyu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Just as he was about to step aside,
Li Kui suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Teacher Luan, your brother is really something!"
"He endured so many lashes without uttering a sound!"
"Once we rescue him, I, Tie Niu, will lead you brothers to avenge him!"
"We must wipe out all the government troops in Yizhou Prefecture!"
"Brother Tie Niu, this..."
Luan Tingyu was immediately at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Teacher Luan, Tie Niu is right,"
Lin Chong also spoke up.
"Your brother has suffered so much because of our Liangshan. Once the city is breached, we will go together to avenge him!"
Inside the military tent,
The other Liangshan leaders also spoke up.
They all wanted to help Luan Tingyu vent his anger for his brother, Luan Tingfang.
"Thank you all, brothers."
Luan Tingyu, his face filled with emotion, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd.
"My brother and I worked as teachers for the Zhu family for many years,"
"I got along quite well with the Zhu family father and son."
"Who would have thought that in the end, it was the Zhu brothers who betrayed my brothers..."
"Alright, Teacher Luan, let's not talk about these sad things anymore,"
Sun An laughed,
"Now that you've joined Liangshan, your brothers are our brothers of Liangshan!"
"Once we've rescued your brother, we'll all get together and have a good, hearty drink!"
"Um,"
Luan Tingyu nodded heavily.
"We'll definitely drink until we're completely drunk, and we won't leave until we're drunk!"
Zhao Yuan is here.
Seeing that Luan Tingyu had reached this point...
Only then could one be considered to have fully integrated into Liangshan.
He was naturally quite happy.
After everyone laughed and joked for a while,
They then continued their discussion about attacking Yizhou Prefecture.
"Chief, although there are less than three thousand soldiers left in Yizhou Prefecture, I have examined the city closely today,"
Sun An frowned and said,
"Those city walls are high and thick; it would be extremely difficult to breach them by brute force alone..."
“The scouts had already reported on the situation in Yizhou Prefecture,”
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"If we really want to launch a strong attack, we would need at least 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers to attack overnight to have any chance of breaking through the city."
"When I, 393, led only 8,000 soldiers down the mountain, I never considered the possibility of a direct assault."
"Brother Sun An, look around this tent, is someone missing?"
Sun An looked around the large tent.
He then asked in surprise,
