Liu Ye smiled, "Alright, Yellow-hooded Traitor has retreated. Let's start a torch."
Dozens of torches were raised among the countless reinforcements. Suen Chang barely managed to cheer up and his face immediately changed.
So it turned out that this so-called "reinforcements" were actually either rakes or forks in their hands. They were all dressed in cloth and were not reinforcements, but a bunch of weak and old people who could not defend the city.
Liu Ye said in a clear voice, "Yellow-hooded Traitor has many people, but we can't differentiate between friend and foe in the night. There are twenty thousand people in the Lee City, and that is twenty thousand elite soldiers!"
Suen Chang looked at Liu Ye in disbelief: "Heavens, is this still the carefree and aggressive Wandering Hero Liu Yuqing?"
Suen Chang slowly took a few breaths, and calmed himself down: "Liu Yuqing, today, not only did you save my life, you have also preserved the lives of over ten thousand elders of the Lee City. When we return, you will definitely ask for meritorious services from the county magistrate."
Liu Ye slightly cupped his hands: "Thank you, County Lieutenant Sun."
Suen Chang waved his hand. A few of his bodyguards surrounded him and helped him down from the top of the city wall. At the same time, Woo De's excited voice could be heard.
"Big brother!" The Yellow-hooded Traitor at the north city wall retreated. "
When Liu Ye turned around, Woo De's face was filled with excitement, but the Leather Armour on his body had a hole pierced through it. Without saying anything further, Liu Ye tore off a piece of cloth to bandage him, and Woo De was moved: "It's nothing, it's just that a thief pierced it."
Liu Ye waited until he finished bandaging his wounds before he asked worriedly, "How many people did we lose tonight?"
Woo De was shocked, but a voice came from behind, "Brother Liu, we've lost 20 men and wounded close to 60. I'm afraid there are more than 10 that are severely injured and we still have more than 270 fighters left."
A person walked out from behind Woo De and bowed towards Liu Ye. He raised his head and saw a strand of short beard under his chin. His face was clean and white, and he looked somewhat bookish.
Liu Ye was interested. Although Woo De was close to him, he was very open-minded. Although he could do what he was told, he did not know how to change the situation. On the other hand, this boy, who could remember casualties, was quite talented.
"What's your name?"
The man with the white face smiled, "I am Zhao, and I am willing to follow brother in killing thieves."
Liu Ye laughed out loud as his arms wrapped around Woo De and Zhao and the others, "With the two of you helping me, a mere Yellow-hooded Traitor is nothing!"
In the town hall, Song He didn't expect that the Yellow-hooded Traitor would attack the city at night, so he hastily arranged for manpower to deal with the wounded, to clean up the weapons, and when he heard the official Song Yu's report, he frowned again.
"Where's Suen Chang?" How come I don't see him? "
"He's probably in the process of being tidied up. Brother Dong Guan, there's no need to worry."
Just as Song Yu finished speaking, Suen Chang walked into the magistrate court with a pale face: "Is the county magistrate well?"
Song He was shocked when he saw the wound on Suen Chang's shoulder. He stood up and walked over, "You're hurt?"
Suen Chang waved his hand, "Senior Liu, now that we're serving you, we can quickly promote Liu Yuqing!" Suen Chang told Song He about how Liu Ye was so brave and how he could mobilize the citizens of the city to impersonate the Chinese army.
"Oh? This Liu Yuqing knew how to use troops? A hundred years ago, it was precisely because Prefect Liangfan used the commoners as an army to scare away tens of thousands of Hun Cavalry. " Song He had read a lot of history books, so he naturally understood this section very well.
Suen Chang nodded his head, with a serious face he said: "Liu Yuqing has the courage to kill the general, and is scheming to destroy the enemy's intelligence. He has the demeanor of an ancient general, if he wants to guard against Yellow-hooded Traitor, then he has to, Liu Yuqing!"
Song He nodded and sat back down. His face was solemn and his eyebrows relaxed a few times. He looked at Suen Chang and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"You can call Liu Ye Military Duke! Although there are many people in the Yellow-hooded Traitor who are in charge of the military affairs of the Lee City, there is nothing to worry about. " Suen Chang made a solemn promise to protect Liu Ye, while Song He nodded: "Yes, but..."
"Military Duke's position is of great importance and should not be taken lightly. Liu Yuqing is already Team Leader at such a young age. How about we use gold and silver to reward him for defending the city tonight. If we can retreat in the future, how about we add Military Duke to our position?" When the official at the side saw Song He's troubled expression, his eyes turned and he immediately spoke out.
Song He was overjoyed, "This is a good suggestion. Let's do as Ru Yan says."
Suen Chang sighed, but he was still a county officer after all, so he had to listen to Song He.
"..."
On the second day, the rising sun scattered tens of thousands of rays of golden light onto the blood-stained Lee City walls. One after another, lances, Falchion s, and dilapidated, blood-stained banners all showcased the brutality of last night's attack. Beneath the city walls were piles of corpses, some with yellow scarves on their heads, some dressed in Leather Armour clothes, unable to wake up.
The sun rose, and for the people of Lee City, it was about time to open their eyes. However, this time around, it meant something else.
Liu Ye crouched in the middle of the hole at the top of the city wall and watched the formation of Yellow-hooded Army. Aside from the north wall, the other three walls were completely surrounded, forming three giant square formations outside the three walls. Thousands of Yellow-hooded Traitor were squeezed together shoulder to shoulder, and although they did not look neat and tidy, it was clear to see.
However, along with a gentle breeze, the yellow scarf fluttered in the wind. It was as if there were three sides of angry yellow waves outside the city walls. On the other hand, in the Lee City, after a day and night of fierce battle, Ding Zhuang's strength dropped from three thousand to less than two thousand. Out of the five hundred Han soldiers, only three hundred remained, and the number of people on both sides had already reached ten to one.
"Surrounding one, looks like the bandit general is also someone who knows his stuff." If all the walls were surrounded, leaving no exit, then the defending army in the city, knowing that there was no hope of breaking out of the siege, would risk their lives to defend the city. Instead, if one of the walls was left unattacked, it would be enough to eliminate the will of the defending army to fight to the death.
In the midst of the biting cold, the tens of thousands of Yellow-hooded Army s in the square formation on the east wall of the city suddenly rippled and opened up a passage. A well-built horse carried a person who was carrying a sword at his waist and wearing an iron helmet and a yellow-robed general walked out.
In the middle, a group of stars surrounded the moon as they rode on their horses and said in a clear voice: "I am the Qing Prefecture River Commander, Zhou Jun. Yesterday, I attacked the city and showed mercy, and I was unwilling to injure Clan Elder Lee City, if you surrender and follow Great Virtuous Teacher to overthrow the Imperial Court, everyone would have a land, everyone would have a meal, wouldn't that be great?"
Woo De, who was on the city wall, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He said to Liu Ye, "Brother, this guy really knows how to argue. He clearly said that he showed mercy after receiving an arrow and dumped thousands of corpses."
Liu Ye smiled and stood up.
"Thieves, kill, rob, rob … I'm a safe citizen, how dare you come and cause trouble, do you think you can take advantage of me by bullying me?"
