Hearing that the enemy was only fifty miles away, Tian Yu dared to neglect and directly ordered his soldiers to prepare for battle. At the same time, he mobilized the best soldiers in the city to prepare for coordinated operations.
Xinye City was immediately put under martial law, and countless soldiers climbed onto the city wall to prepare for possible enemies. The quartermaster in the camp arranged all those enemies on the school grounds.
"Captain, the situation is not good."
Seeing that all his robes were gathered on the school field, the commander of the village who was responsible for stealing the city came to the school captain's side.
"Well, I also feel that something is wrong. I have ordered the soldiers to run away if there is a problem and save their lives first."
The captain also knew that the situation was not good now. The most terrifying thing was that if their identities were discovered, then he would be finished.
"promise."
Soon the captain's order was passed among the crowd. The soldiers who were already a little suspicious were all stunned, and a panic spread among the soldiers.
"Sword and shield hand, set up position."
Just when these people were scared, a loud voice sounded, and countless sword and shield soldiers appeared, marching in neat steps, forming a queue, and surrounding the school grounds.
"No, run."
Seeing the sword and shield soldiers appearing, the school captain felt as if his head was about to explode, and he shouted loudly, telling the soldiers in the school field to run away.
"Shield, hold on."
"Spearman, draw your spear."
"Archers, shoot your arrows."
As orders were issued one by one, thousands of people in the school grounds seemed to have entered hell on earth, with no hope of survival in sight.
"I surrender."
"Forgive me."
"Dad, grandpa, ancestors, please spare me."
Facing death, Huang Kui's soldiers could not show any heroic spirit. Looking at the layers of corpses around them, the remaining people all cried bitterly and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Sir, what should I do?
How about letting them live?"
Seeing these people wailing under the rain of arrows, a village chief couldn't bear it and asked the captain for mercy.
"The order from Lord Zhou Wei is to kill all of them without leaving any trace behind."
Because the enemy has 50,000 people and we only have more than 20,000 people. If we don’t kill them, we still have to leave people to guard them.
Furthermore, they are enemies and do not deserve sympathy. If we had not been alert and they had stolen the city gate, would people have sympathized with us then?
kill."
The school captain glanced at the village commander, his face full of cruelty. You must know that this is war time, and to sympathize with the enemy is to be cruel to yourself.
These people are not working people, they are soldiers, they are enemies who want to take their lives with a sword. Only the word "kill" is most appropriate.
"promise."
No matter how Huang Kui's soldiers wailed and begged for mercy, the soldiers surrounding the school grounds showed no mercy, and after a while there was no sound.
"Follow up the damage, leaving no one behind."
The sword and shield soldiers enter the field and start to hit the target one by one. There will definitely not be a single person left alive.
After everything was settled, the captain came directly to see Tian Yu.
"Sir, everything is done."
The school captain cupped his fists and saluted Tian Yu, indicating that he had finished what he wanted to do.
"Isn't it very painful to kill?"
Tian Yu put away the book in his hand, glanced at the captain, and couldn't help but smile.
"There is no discomfort. They are just enemies. It is my responsibility to go into battle and kill them."
The captain frowned, but immediately opened his mouth to explain.
"Yes, they are enemies. We only treat enemies with swords and no mercy. If the war is over, I will spare their lives, but now I can't let anyone go. If you do this, then I will cut off their heads and let them go."
OK, I’m useful.”
Tian Yu nodded to the captain, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately arranged for the captain to chop off the heads of the soldiers.
"promise."
After hearing Tian Yu's order, the captain was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and saluted, and went down to make arrangements. After all, he was the captain of the state, and whatever he said was what he said.
Huang Kui knew that soldiers were valuable and quick, so he led his troops to attack Xinye the next day after sending people to infiltrate.
The distance of fifty miles passed by, and it didn't take long for Huang Kui's troops to reach Xinye.
"General, look at the soldiers and horses in the city. They have been prepared for a long time."
The captain next to Huang Kui looked at the dense figures on the city wall and couldn't help but frown.
"So what if we were prepared in advance?
Your Majesty is still waiting for us. I am destined to capture this new country. I will build engineering equipment in the morning and attack the city in the afternoon. I will go and meet them first."
Although there are many soldiers and horses on the city wall, Huang Kui also knows that they have no way out now. These soldiers and horses have not been discovered by Yuan Shu until now. The enemy must have gone to Xiangyang, so he must capture Xinye City no matter what.
One is to cut off Yuan Shu's food route, and the other is to expose himself, distract Yuan Shu, and even divide his troops, which can also reduce the pressure on Xiangyang.
"promise."
The captain went down to make arrangements, but Huang Kui rode his horse forward and came to the bottom of the city wall.
"Lord Zhou Wei, what do you think?"
The captain glanced at Tian Yu and pointed directly at Huang Kui under the city wall.
"A manager comes out, I have something to say."
Huang Kui looked at the waiting city wall and shouted directly at them.
"Who are you, how dare you shout here."
Before Tian Yu could speak, the captain responded directly to him.
"I am General Pingdong of the New Han Dynasty. I am waiting for Huang Kui in my arms. I have come to conquer Xinye under the orders of His Majesty the New Han Dynasty."
When Huang Kui heard the words of the colonel on the city wall, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Haha, General Pingdong, I am waiting in my arms. It is such a big official position. I am none other than Tian Yu, Lieutenant of Yanzhou of the Chinese Empire. What do you have to say?"
Tian Yu had heard about Huang Kui. After all, he was the son of Huang Wan, a queen from a famous family. If he didn't know this, his work would have been in vain.
"It turns out to be Captain Tian Yu, Tian Zhou. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful."
It was indeed beyond Huang Kui's expectation to hear that the other party turned out to be Tangtang Tian Yu, Lieutenant of Yanzhou.
"Don't talk about those who have no merit, Huang Kui, you are more or less considered a descendant of a famous family, and the Huang family is also considered a wealthy family in Jingzhou. If you can find your way back now, I can plead for your Majesty, not to mention exempting you from death penalty.
At the very least, it is possible to leave a bloodline for you, the Huang family."
Tian Yu looked at Huang Kui below the city and couldn't help but shout to him.
"Haha, then I still have to thank Captain Tian Zhou?
Since you said so, I will leave you a way to survive. Now in Kaicheng, I can let you take people away.
I only want the city, not my life. If you are stubborn, don't blame my men for being ruthless."
Huang Kui also sneered, looked at Tian Yu, and directly asked him to open the city gate and lead his troops to leave. What he wanted was Xinye City, not the lives of the soldiers defending the city.
"Then let me show you the real chapter. I want to see how your ragtag group of men can break through my steel city."
Since Huang Kui said so, Tian Yu had nothing to say and just asked his subordinates to see Zhen Zhang.
"Don't worry, when I take Xinye, I will let Tian Zhouwei live."
After Huang Kui said this, he immediately turned his horse's head, left the city wall, and returned to his army.
Huang Kui has some skills in leading troops. The 50,000-strong army was like a hand under his control. Countless soldiers rushed out and began to demolish the farms, houses, and trees outside the city in a whole morning.
Hundreds of ladders and seven or eight floor trucks were made.
"General, the engineering equipment has been produced and is ready for attack."
The captain came directly to report the news to Huang Kui, and he could launch an attack on the city wall at any time.
"Then let's fight. If the enemy wants to ask for help, let them go and don't stop them, okay?"
Huang Kui glanced at the city wall in front of him, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He must know that what he had to do was not only to capture Xinye, but also to let their people out and let them know the situation here in Xinye.
"promise."
As Huang Kui's order was issued, the rumble of war drums resounded throughout the world, and an army of 50,000 men immediately prepared to attack the city wall.
"Master Zhou Wei, do you want to send someone to ask for help from your Majesty? The enemy has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we are only 20,000. Although we have recruited 10,000 strong men to go to the city, we are only 30,000."
The captain glanced at the enemies below the city and spoke directly to Tian Yu.
"fart."
Tian Yu glanced at the captain in front of him, his eyes full of anger.
"But Xinye is of great importance. It is where His Majesty's military supplies are located. If there is a problem here, then the hundreds of thousands of troops heading south will probably have no food available, and there will be big problems by then."
Although Tian Yu scolded himself, the captain had no choice but to do so. He was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but because Xinye was really important, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have left 20,000 troops and Tian Yu to guard here.
"It is precisely because Xinye is so important that we cannot ask for help from His Majesty. He is besieging Xiangyang. Who will be responsible if His Majesty's plans are delayed because of the division of troops in Xinye?
Besides, why did Your Majesty place me in Xinye? Is it because he is afraid of a sneak attack by the enemy? With me in Xinye, he can't lose me."
Tian Yu glanced at the captain and knew that he was also thinking about China, so he told everything about the current situation.
"That can't be like this. We, Xinye, are responsible for replenishing His Majesty's supplies. If Xinye is surrounded by enemies, we still won't be able to help His Majesty replenish supplies. It will be fine for a short period of time. But over time, if there is a problem with Your Majesty's supplies, it will be a big deal.
"
Although Tian Yu said this, the captain still felt that something was wrong. After all, they were responsible for Yuan Shu's food and grass. If there was a problem with the food and grass, it would be a big deal.
"It's okay. I've been helping your majesty store food and grass for fifteen days. I believe that your majesty will definitely be able to capture Xiangyang within fifteen days.
After Xiangyang is captured, His Majesty's intelligence will definitely understand that there is a situation in Xinye, and he will definitely send troops back to Xinye at that time.
Your task now is to secure Xinye for me safely and wait for the return of His Majesty's troops."
Tian Yu looked at the soldiers under the city, a trace of tenacity flashed in his eyes. He believed in Yuan Shu and believed that he would definitely capture the enemy as quickly as possible, and then return to Xinye to help him rescue himself.
