Rose was worried that she might accidentally reveal the truth about Liangshan.

He quickly reached out and tugged at her...

Chapter 535 Public Execution! Blood Flows Like a River!

At this time,

Below the city wall,

Several loud-voiced soldiers

After recounting the tragedy of Anle Village in Rouge Mountain,

They loudly announced the punishment of these government troops and soldiers from Liangshan.

They shall all be beheaded!

As soon as this news came out,

The government troops who had knelt on the ground immediately struggled to their feet.

They were just tied up hand and foot.

How could they possibly be a match for the soldiers of Liangshan?

They were all quickly pinned back to the ground.

"Do not kill me!"

"It was all orders from Ruan Qixiang and Zhao Xin; we were just following their orders!"

"We are all innocent! We had no choice!"

......

These surrendered soldiers cried out their grievances.

This immediately caused a stir among the government troops above the city wall.

next moment,

Amidst the shocked gazes of the officers and soldiers,

Li Kui grinned maliciously.

They began to execute the surrendered government troops one by one!

Groups of three recruited soldiers from Liangshan.

The two dragged the surrendered government soldiers to the foot of the city wall.

The other was an axeman.

With a swift motion, the knife fell.

Cut off the heads of the surrendered soldiers!

Each execution involved a squad of twenty surrendered soldiers.

Qiongying gave orders from behind.

Li Kui, that killer star...

However, he was shirtless.

Carrying a battle axe,

He even played the role of axe-wielder!

After a while,

All sixteen groups of surrendered government troops were beheaded.

"Haha, so happy!"

Li Kui, that dark-skinned fellow, laughed loudly twice towards the city wall.

Then he shouted,

"Listen up, all officers and soldiers above, tomorrow we, Liangshan, will attack the city!"

"I'm going to kill you all without mercy!"

"tractor!"

Qiongying immediately spoke up to stop Li Kui's nonsense.

Then the loud-voiced soldiers shouted out the pre-arranged words.

"Listen up, soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture! Surrender now or you may escape death!"

"If you resist stubbornly, you will be punished along with those corrupt officials after the city falls!"

After the speech,

Qiong Ying ordered her soldiers to withdraw.

On this side of the city wall,

Zhao Xin stared coldly at the corpses of the government troops below.

Those heads of government soldiers that fell to the ground one by one

It makes one think of,

About ten days ago,

It was these government troops who triumphantly brought back the heads of the villagers of Anle Village.

Zhao Xin watched all of this with a cold eye.

He originally intended to wait for the Liangshan soldiers to retreat on their own.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

But it was Ruan Qixiang who went up to the city wall in a panic.

"Zhao Xin! What are you standing there for! Quickly lead the troops out of the city and annihilate all these Liangshan bandits!"

Ruan Qixiang shouted loudly.

"Lord Ruan, leaving the city now might lead to a trap..."

Zhao Xin had only spoken half of what he wanted to say when

He was interrupted by Ruan Qixiang.

"What trap? In my opinion, you're just scared!"

"The Liangshan bandits under this city wall number at most four or five hundred!"

"You've led over a thousand Imperial Guards out of the city; surely you can't defeat them!"

"Lord Ruan!"

Zhao Xin frowned and said,

"Huang Dujian and his men fell into a trap set by the Liangshan bandits, which is why their entire army was wiped out!"

"If I were to leave the city now and be ambushed by the Liangshan army, how could I possibly defend Yizhou Prefecture?"

"Zhao Xin! How dare you disobey my orders?"

Ruan Qixiang's face flushed red with anger as he spoke.

"Don't forget who gave you the power to rise from a lowly commoner to an official position!"

"If it weren't for me, you peasant would still be digging in Zhaojia Village!"

"Lord Ruan! I am now acting as the military commander of Yizhou!"

Faced with Ruan Qixiang's unreasonable and sophistical arguments,

Zhao Xin was also getting impatient.

"The military officers of Yizhou Prefecture are all under my command."

"This general only obeys the orders of the Prefect!"

"Guards, escort Lord Ruan down from the city!"

A group of officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward.

They half-dragged, half-carried Ruan Qixiang to the foot of the city wall.

He was summoned from the city tower.

... ......... ...

You can still hear Ruan Qixiang's angry shouts from below the city walls.

At this time,

Qiong Ying's soldiers had all finished their troop movements.

Seeing that the city gates of Yizhou Prefecture were tightly closed,

The government troops showed no intention of launching an attack outside the city.

Qiong Ying could only shake her head in disappointment.

He led his soldiers to retreat to the rear.

Then,

Sun An led two thousand soldiers,

They escorted a thousand surrendered soldiers from Yizhou Prefecture to the foot of the city wall.

Subsequently,

These surrendered soldiers then began loudly urging the defenders on the city walls to surrender.

These government troops did not commit any atrocities at Rouge Mountain.

Liangshan naturally wouldn't take their lives.

Before coming today,

These surrendered government troops and soldiers also received promises.

As long as you do things according to Liangshan's instructions.

After capturing Yizhou Prefecture,

They were then allowed to leave on their own.

Having gained Liangshan meant gaining a promise.

The surrendered soldiers and officers began to work.

Naturally, they also need to work much harder.

They all shouted at the top of their lungs.

He struck up a conversation with the government troops on the city wall.

They were persuaded not to work for corrupt officials...

Chapter 536 First Round of Confrontation

"hateful!"

Zhao Xin, standing on the city tower, raised his hand and slapped the city wall next to him with a dark expression.

He wasn't worried about the government troops and surrendered soldiers that Liangshan had just executed.

But now,

Faced with more surrendered government troops and soldiers, they were persuaded to surrender.

Zhao Xin, however, was filled with rage!

We just executed those government troops who committed murder at Rouge Mountain.

It showed how ruthless Liangshan was!
