Chapter 507
The people in Jicheng moved upon hearing the news.
Faced with the high salary, the men could not resist the temptation.
It was not easy to live in these days anyway.
If they could survive this battle to defend the city, they could get a high salary.
They could live more easily in the future.
Under Liu Yu's order, the recruitment work continued.
Ordinary people in Jicheng came enthusiastically.
Facing the people pouring into the streets, Liu Yu was filled with emotion again.
But ordinary people would still be attracted by money and come to defend the city desperately.
And those clans were thinking about how to defeat the defenders and use various means to bring the invading enemies into the city.
Such a huge gap made him have no good impression on the clan.
Outside the city, Yan Liang led the other three generals to gather soldiers.
The movement in the city last night was heard clearly by the soldiers on guard.
"There is chaos in the city. Youzhou soldiers must not have much physical strength today!"
Yan Liang's loud voice rang out in the huge camp.
"Let all the soldiers have a good meal and start the siege immediately."
"Today, there is no priority in attack, all rush!"
"We must go to Jicheng for dinner!"
Encouraged by Yan Liang, the morale of Jizhou soldiers soared.
The soldiers also knew what it would be like for people who had been tired all day if they didn't sleep well at night.
There is no better opportunity than now.
It is an unwritten rule to break through the city and secretly plunder.
Although Jicheng is not as rich as those cities in Jizhou, it can still plunder some things.
It's nothing for the generals, but for ordinary soldiers like them, it's a huge fortune.
After dinner, the Jizhou army continued to surround three sides and lack one under Yan Liang's order.
Attack the city from three sides at the same time.
Soldiers carrying ladders rushed towards the city wall like a tide.
Liu Yu and his soldiers had been waiting on the city wall for a long time.
Leaning on the battlement and looking down, the enemy's magnificent morale made him feel depressed.
Looking around on the city wall, except for the new recruits, the rest of the Youzhou soldiers were all panting.
Feeling his own physical condition, Liu Yu was at a loss.
I'm afraid that in just a few rounds, his physical strength will be exhausted.
He didn't dare to think about it any further.
"Defend with all your strength!" Liu Yu shouted loudly.
"Repel those damn invading enemy troops!"
"Defend Jicheng!"
The soldiers on the city wall followed Liu Yu's roar.
For a while, the roar of defending Jicheng shook the sky.
The Jizhou army put the siege ladders on the battlements and rushed with swords.
This time the ascent was much smoother than before.
A hand-to-hand fight began in a short period of time.
The fierce attack on the three walls, countless figures rushed to the top of the city.
The attackers and defenders fought hard on the walls.
The screams, shouts, and blood splashed everywhere, rendering the walls of Jicheng a tragic scene.
Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and life was worthless.
The casualties on both sides were very heavy.
The battle was extremely tragic.
Liu Yu watched a Youzhou soldier being chopped by the enemy's short knife.
Amid screams, several other enemy soldiers rushed up.
The soldier was chopped into meat paste on the spot.
The tragic scene shook Liu Yu's eyes.
He couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.
...
Yuyang City.
Liu Yu, who had already arrived with Tang Hai's soldiers, received news from the front line.
The news that was continuously transmitted from Jicheng by carrier pigeons was quickly sent to Yuyang City.
"The time has come, let's go!"
Liu Yu stood up in the hall of the official temple.
The generals were excited and couldn't contain their excitement.
Sun Ce stood up first, bowed and said loudly: "I beg you to be the vanguard and crush the damn Jizhou bandits!"
"Hey!" Zhang Fei shook his head on the spot, "You are no different from a little kid. If you are too young, the enemy will look down on you."
"I have to be the vanguard!"
Other generals were not willing to lag behind.
They all wanted to compete for the vanguard position.
In the hall, each general fought bravely and no one fell behind. For a while, there was a lot of noise.
"Don't be the vanguard this time." Liu Yu raised his hand and pressed it down, suppressing the noise in the hall.
"Charge together and quickly defeat the Jizhou army that is blocking the position of the Yuyang reinforcements."
"In addition, try to kill only the main culprit."
"Shoot the enemy generals with all your strength and recruit the soldiers to surrender."
"The ordinary soldiers are all of my Han blood, so try to keep them."
"Yes!" The generals in the hall responded loudly.
The upcoming battle has made them wait for an unknown amount of time.
Everyone is eager to fight, wishing that two wings would grow on their backs and fly to the battlefield immediately.
Under Liu Yu's command, the entire Yuyang City moved rapidly.
Tang Hai's soldiers quickly gathered.
"Kong Ming." Liu Yu called the young Zhuge Liang."You will set off with the Shenji Battalion."
"Hurry to Jicheng."
"With our cavalry in front, we will surely quickly wipe out the enemy troops blocking the road."
"Don't worry about the defeated soldiers along the way, someone will naturally gather them up and do the aftermath."
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang replied, looking forward to the next battle.
He led the newly formed Shenji Battalion on the battlefield for the first time.
He had full confidence and prepared an unprecedented shock to the enemy outside Jicheng.
"Xiahou Dun, listen to the order!" Liu Yu called out.
Xiahou Dun hurriedly stood up.
"You lead the Yuyang militia and be responsible for collecting surrendered prisoners along the way." Liu Yu ordered.
"Arrange them well."
"According to Tanghai's rules of conduct, break up the groups and identify the origins."
"Carry out internal mutual recommendation and set a model of progress."
"Strive to make all the captives change their minds and turn their hearts to Tanghai in the shortest possible time."
"Yes!" Xiahou Dun stood at attention and answered loudly, "My lord, rest assured, I will complete the task with quality and quantity!"
With Liu Yu's order, the cavalry set off first.
Ten thousand cavalry, led by the four tiger generals, Sun Ce and Huang Gai, rushed out of the city.
Like a tiger descending from the mountain, everyone was very happy.
In the face of war, the people of Tanghai never had any fear.
Only great excitement.
Military merit!
The Tanghai soldiers with red eyes wished that there would be more enemy troops.
Otherwise, there would not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!
...
In the distance of Yuyang City.
Han Meng, who was blocking the road for the rescue with 40,000 Jizhou soldiers, heard the news of Yuyang's troops.
"Only 10,000 cavalrymen, who are you looking down on?"
Han Meng's face was full of disdain.
For several days in a row, they had already built solid fortifications.
Used the freshly cut logs to build chevaux de frise, build fences, and block key intersections.
The soldiers were equipped with a large number of archers and sufficient arrows.
Han Meng didn't know how to lose this battle!
Another general, Chunyu Qiong, rolled his eyes.
He understood the name of Tang Hai more deeply than others.
He didn't have the tiger spirit of Han Meng.
He was silent, happy that Han Meng was commanding in the camp.
Even if the wisdom was directed to his subordinates, Chunyu Qiong didn't make a sound.
Find a hidden place, he secretly changed into an ordinary soldier's armor.
He also put two more heart guards on his chest.
Worried, he put another one inside the helmet.
According to the secret information he secretly got, Tang Hai's crossbowmen are not easy to deal with.
Not to mention, the sharpshooters in Tang Hai's formation are more powerful than each other!
