C17 Killing to Build up One's Prestige
Li Da frowned. "Oh?" But I do not know if there is anyone in this city who has yet to ask. "
Liu Ye clenched his fingers tightly on the blade and pulled out the Falchion.
"This blade is also …"
Li Da was shocked, he panicked and had no time to defend. He subconsciously raised his arm, since how could his flesh and blood be able to withstand the blade attack. Liu Ye used all his strength, and chopped down with his arm and head.
All the subordinates behind Li Da looked at each other. One of them could not help but pull out his blade and attacked, "Liu Ye! "If you can't win against Team Leader, killing Li Military Duke is an act of rebellion."
Blood dripped from the blade. He looked around, then said with a sneer, "The situation is urgent, with the bandits surrounding the city, the county magistrate and the captain are all dead, and some people don't care about the country killing the thieves. They only know that it's a struggle for power, so if I kill them, do you have any objections?"
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, and then looking at the Falchion dripping with blood in Liu Ye's hand, he was so scared that he couldn't say a word. And Wang Zhen snorted lightly, although he was very dissatisfied with Liu Ye, but the situation was better than the person.
Although Liu Ye killed Military Duke and Li Da, he felt that it was a pity: This Wang Zhen was not a good person either, luckily he was killed inside the Yellow-hooded Traitor, otherwise, he would be a thief. However, he still had to be careful, sooner or later he would kill them all.
"Since none of you have any objections, from today onwards, I will temporarily take charge of the city's defense. I hope all of you will work together to ensure the safety of our Lee City!"
When the news of Liu Ye being in charge of the army spread to everyone's ears, they all jumped with joy when they heard the news of the Lee City defending army. After all, Liu Ye was an outstanding general who had killed the great generals of Yellow-hooded Traitor many times and was under the command of tens of thousands of soldiers in order to defend the city.
As Zhao and the other officials, counting the number of weapons and personnel, even defending the city had consumed a lot of energy, there were only a few thousand arrows left. Fortunately, Yellow-hooded Traitor had shot a lot of them, so the number of arrows could be used on top of that.
However, there were more than three thousand young and strong men guarding the city. There were many casualties below the city walls, leaving less than two thousand behind. There were less than five hundred on top of each of the four cities, making it rather difficult to defend the city. But luckily, the Yellow-hooded Traitor had failed to attack the city multiple times, and many of his attacks had been thwarted. As a result, they gradually had thoughts of retreating, and the morale of the troops was not as good as before, so defending the city was not difficult at all.
The setting sun was like blood, the sky was getting darker, the Yellow-hooded Traitor was still climbing on the ladders, but he no longer had the spirit like when he first went to the Broken City, all of his face was filled with laziness, an attack on the city was just a kind of mission, if not for the of the Blade Axe, no one would be willing to go forward, but after hesitating for a while, he climbed up the ladders with all his might.
As the sound of gold slowly rang out from within the bandit camp, all of the Yellow-hooded Army s that were attacking the city released a breath of relief. They turned around and ran, while the defending troops on top of the city walls immediately cheered, as the sky slowly turned dark, and the entire Lee City as well as the Yellow-hooded Traitor's camp became shrouded in darkness.
"What?" "Leaving the city to mount a sneak attack!"
Woo De was slightly surprised, but he was more excited.
Liu Ye nodded his head slowly: "That's right, although there are a lot of thieves, but since thirty thousand soldiers are eating horses, who knows how much food will be consumed everyday. If we can burn the Yellow-hooded Traitor's grains, the thieves will retreat without fighting, do you have the guts to do so?"
The people surrounding Liu Ye were all Woo De. Zhao and the rest of Liu Ye's trusted aides, who had been fighting alongside Liu Ye for many days, gradually gained courage. Together with Wandering Hero, who was extremely daring, all of them nodded secretly after hearing this.
"Alright, the Yellow-hooded Traitor attacked the city consecutively, the spirit has disappeared. Tonight at the third fragment of the night, all those who leave the city will receive generous rewards."
Liu Ye looked at Zhao and the others, "Zhao, go tell this matter to those who are willing to leave the city to gather here."
Zhao accepted the order and left. Liu Ye then turned to Woo De and said, "Woo De, go ask Wang Zhen to come over. I have something to say."
Woo De pouted: "Why did big brother invite that bastard? If we want to kill the thieves, we'll have to invite this guy to do so for the sake of creating more variables. "
Liu Ye shook his head: "I have my own plans, go ahead."
After a while, more and more figures gathered on the city walls, mostly Wandering Hero who surrounded Lee City. Usually, he admired Liu Ye's boldness and boldness, but there were also some young and strong people guarding the city walls.
"Liu Yuqing, what are you looking for me for?"
Wang Zhen also came. Behind him were dozens of subordinates, all wearing armor and carrying swords. From the looks of it, they were here to fight against Liu Ye.
Liu Ye laughed out loud: "Brother Wang is truly loyal, upon hearing that I was going to attack Yellow-hooded Traitor at night, you immediately recommended me to you, your heart is truly touching."
Wang Zhen's expression changed, the five fingers of his right hand were already pinching the handle of his blade: "Liu Yuqing, what nonsense are you talking about? "Where do I want to …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Ye rushed to Wang Zhen, gripped Wang Zhen's wrist tightly in his palm and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Since that's the case, since Brother Wang is by my side, why don't we discuss it at all times?"
The subordinate behind Wang Zhen could tell that something was wrong, but since Wang Zhen was in Liu Ye's hands, he didn't dare to act rashly. Liu Ye gently pinched Wang Zhen's wrist, and the five fingers holding Wang Zhen's wrist felt a sharp pain, and had no choice but to release the Falchion.
"My lords, the bandit army has surrounded the city for several days and their spirit has already disappeared. If we were to let the city go and attack the Yellow-hooded Traitor during the night, the bandit army will definitely break through." Liu Ye spoke with confidence and confidence. Although many of them had great courage, they could not help but cower when they heard Liu Ye's words.
"Tonight, I will reward the thief with a stone and a grain of rice. If there are any casualties, I will give my family a heavy debt. If anyone fails to comply, they can leave now. "
After hearing Liu Ye's words, many people had thoughts of retreating. Woo De snorted and blocked the way to the top of the city gate stairs. He pulled out the Falchion at his waist and glared at those who had thoughts of retreating, immediately scaring them back.
Liu Ye smiled. This time, he showed them his power. He said 'red faces' and 'black faces'. After all, with hundreds of people attacking the tens of thousands of people in the night, just a slight mistake was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
"Since none of you have any objections, take care of yourself. After the third round, we will leave the city and attack the enemy in the night!"
At this moment, the sky was dark, the clouds were thick, thunder was loud, and after a while, raindrops the size of beans fell down, soon turning into a heavy downpour. Liu Ye was immediately overjoyed when he saw this.
