The woman named Yun Niang wiped the dust from her face, and her white skin was revealed. She gritted her teeth and burst into tears: "My family has been poisoned by Yan thieves. Although I am a woman, I can still do something for the army."
I can also help when it comes to cooking, sewing, and defending the city. Please don’t exclude us, I want to take revenge with my own hands!”
Liu Yu nodded and stood on the stairs of the city tower. This position allowed him to see clearly the densely packed people in the city square below. He said sternly: "Fathers of the Mangshan Mountain, you all think so.
Yes, do you want to do your best to defend the city?"
Mixed with a lot of childish voices, but with firm and decisive voices echoing around: "We are willing to defend the city and kill the thieves, and avenge the bloody sea."
Liu Muzhi walked to Liu Yu's side and whispered: "People's hearts can be used. These people have relatives and friends who died at the hands of thieves. They hate the Xiyan thieves far more than we do. We can let them do what they can to help them."
I feel that I am trying my best to defeat the enemy, otherwise, trouble may arise."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder, turned to the many people, and said: "Very good, since you all have this intention, let's work together to defeat the thieves. The main reason why the villages in Mengshan fell was because they were unable to resist Yan.
The various siege methods of the army, coupled with the isolation of the army, have been defeated by the enemy's army. However, here, I can assure you that this will never happen."
"You have all witnessed the battle just now. Our Beifu Army and Tianshi Dao disciples are all heroes who have experienced hundreds of battles and have strong martial arts skills. Those horse bandits and robbers in the Xiyan Army can only bully the people.
We are as vulnerable as chopping melons and vegetables before us. Although our numbers are not as many as the enemy's, we are united here. We have a fortified city, sufficient food and grass, and well-equipped equipment. We will definitely be able to lead everyone to the final victory."
All the people were furious and began to shout in unison: "Victory, victory, victory!"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Since you are determined to kill thieves and join our army, you must abide by the rules of the army and obey orders. Now, those who want to join our army and work hard for the battle, please stand on the left. If
Those who just want to be protected, or are unable to contribute, stay on the right side. Don’t worry, we will protect everyone, and it is only your personal choice whether to contribute.”
Soon, the crowd began to move in large numbers to the left. In addition to the five or six hundred people, most of them were injured or injured patients who had difficulty even standing, or children who were too young and looked ignorant. As long as they could walk and move, there was no shortage.
Most of those with fewer arms and legs, even women, stood on the left side.
Liu Yu said loudly: "Very well, the people on the left, please go and get a set of military uniforms. It may not fit, but these are extraordinary times. We need to distinguish people in the city based on their uniforms. The men will get a set of blue military uniforms.
We will go to the city to help defend the city. We will organize you into various teams to defend the city. The soldiers will teach you how to attack and fight. Just follow the orders. However, I have something to say first. If you disobey the military orders, be greedy for life and fear death, and escape from the battle.
Yes, I will punish you according to military regulations and will show no mercy."
Fu Hongzhi said loudly: "We have all died once, so what is there to be afraid of? Besides, there is nowhere to escape here. If we really get to that point, we will die if we run away, and we will die if we fight. It's better to live in peace."
I can earn enough money by working hard quickly."
Many men responded: "Brother Fu said it well, General, we will act in accordance with military law."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I am not a general. My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Yu. I am from Jingkou. I used to be the commander of the Beifu Army. Later, the army was disbanded. I will wait for Beifu.
All the soldiers of the army were disarmed and returned to their fields. We heard that the barbarians were invading the Central Plains. We did not want to see the Central Plains land that we had conquered with our own hands fall back into the enemy's hands, so we came to Luoyang as private individuals to assist in the war. Governor Zhu Xu appointed us to give us the best possible outcome.
With good equipment, we are required to defend Jinyong City as a barrier to Luoyang. All brothers will respect me and recommend me as their leader. From now on, you can just call me Brother Liu, and you don’t need to call me general, because the imperial court has not given me this position."
Fu Hongzhi smiled and said: "It turns out that you are the famous Liu Yu, the first warrior of the Beifu Army. Even in this Central Plains area, we are like thunder and have admired your name for a long time. Although you are not a general, in the hearts of us, you are more trustworthy than a general."
More, more powerful. Isn’t that right, folks?!”
Everyone looked happy and agreed in unison.
Liu Yu said seriously: "Men wear blue clothes and are incorporated into the city guards, while women wear crimson clothes. Your duty is not to fight, but to cook, repair armaments, and treat the sick and wounded. And, now
The most urgent task is to use the cloth stored in the warehouse to make curtains. The enemy will soon attack the city in large numbers. When the time comes, they will throw stones to attack first. In order to protect the city wall, we need a large number of curtains to deflect the incoming stones."
Fu Hongzhi asked doubtfully: "Can the curtain block flying stones? It's unlikely."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Brother Fu, this is an offensive and defensive method. Although flying rocks are not accurate, they are powerful. They can hit the towers, knock down the crenellations, and cause great damage to the soldiers on the city. If you can do it at the top of the city,
Use bamboo poles to pick out the curtains and stretch them outside the city. You can use softness to overcome hardness, deflect most of the flying stones, and effectively protect the city. Therefore, rushing to make these curtains is a contribution to the defense of the city."
Yun Niang, who was standing in front of the crowd on the left, turned to the crowd and said: "Sisters, have you all heard what Brother Liu said? Although we are women, these needleworkers are what we are good at. We are not as strong as men.
I can't kill thieves with my sword, but can't I do these things? I'm willing to make cloth and defend the city."
The women all raised their fists and shouted: "We are willing to follow Brother Liu's arrangements to make cloth to defend the city."
Liu Yu nodded: "Very good, then everyone should go to collect the military uniforms in an orderly manner according to the arrangements of the officers, and then go to your respective positions. Someone will teach you how to do it. The rest of the people, please go to the cellar quickly.
During the break, each person can receive a steamed bun. From now on, this will be our new home, let’s fight for our homeland!”
Seeing the joyful people heading towards the warehouses scattered throughout the city under the guidance of the sergeants, Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Murong Lan walked gently to his side and said with a smile: "Brother Lang, you
You are right, I am short-sighted. Even these unarmed people can make contributions as long as they are willing. We need them to defend the city."
Liu Yu nodded: "How much they can do is secondary. As long as there is something to do, as long as they can feel that they are contributing to the defense of the city, they can unite as one, people are united, and the mountains are moving. Today we will win a big victory, and Murong Yong will attack the city with all his strength tomorrow."
, the hard battle is still ahead, don’t be careless.”
