This time, Lu Yuan didn’t expect to rely on these people to really take the city.

The real use of these rebels’ families was not to assist in the siege, but to undermine the resistance of the rebels. Disrupt the morale of the opposite side, and let the rebels inside the city surrender directly.

The first batch of rebel families, two or three thousand people, quickly arrived in front of the city wall.

“Tiger, it’s me, your mother.”

“Father!”

“Daddy!”

“Master.”

“Brother Zhao Song, save me!”

These rebel families, driven to the vicinity of the city wall, immediately cried out for help from the rebels on the wall.

Such a scene did indeed greatly move those above.

The defenders in the city were rebels from various towns and villages. Many of them were with their loved ones just a few days ago, but now they were gathered to prepare for a tough city defense.

At this time, these relatives were gathered here, and many of the rebels on the wall could see their parents, wives, siblings, and children.

“Mother, how did you get here?”

“Darling, don’t push forward, don’t push forward.”

“Wife, what’s going on at home?”

The rebels who recognized their families saw their loved ones huddled below and were immediately filled with rage.

Some even cursed loudly.

“Damn the court, if they have the guts, let’s fight fair and square on the battlefield. What kind of skill is it to capture our relatives and threaten us?”

“The court dog thieves are too cruel and shameless, they don’t abide by the rules of Jianghu.”

The city wall was instantly in chaos.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Yuan also sent a team with ladders, mixed in the crowd, to climb up the wall.

Seeing the soldiers trying to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, some rebel leaders on the wall gave the order to shoot arrows and hurl rocks to block the enemy.

Some of the rebels in the city obeyed and acted accordingly.

Immediately, they pushed down the boiling oil and rolling rocks, and let go of the arrows in their hands, shooting into the crowd.

Without saying much, the crowd was soon filled with screams. The already chaotic crowd became even more chaotic, with people trampling each other.

“Damn it, my wife is down there, who dares to do it.”

“My parents are down there, I want to save them.” “My son is in the crowd, don’t do it, don’t do it!” “Whoever dares to shoot, I’ll cut them!”

“We are all fellow villagers, can you bear to kill our relatives?”

On the wall, some rebels with their families below saw that others actually wanted to attack the soldiers mixed in the crowd and immediately became furious.

Some hot-tempered ones even raised their swords to cut those attackers.

Seeing this, the surrounding people let them through without stopping or following.

The military officers wanted to stop them, but looking at the hostility in their eyes, their hearts went cold. The words they wanted to say were swallowed back down.

However, the chaos didn’t last long.

Because below the wall, some fast-climbing soldiers had already reached the top of the wall.

Seeing this, the rebels hesitated momentarily, but didn’t dare to fight back.

After all, their families were right below, and if they killed these soldiers, the next ones to die would be their own families.

Eventually.

No one knew who was the first to throw down their weapons, and after a clanging sound, a large number of rebels put down their weapons and surrendered.

“This city is broken.”

From a distance, Lu Yuan saw this scene and showed a smile on his face.

His strategy of psychological warfare had worked.

It took only a day to take the city.

It seemed that the old nest of the Seven Star Sect was not as stubborn as he had imagined.

It was better that way, too, for he didn’t want to massacre indiscriminately.

After all, these were ordinary people, not people who had committed heinous crimes..
