In the morning, the sun rose as usual, shining on the land in the north. The distant mountains, woods, deserts, and rivers are all covered with a layer of glow, and the scenery outside Maling City is even more "spectacular."
The corpses of soldiers on both sides have been cleaned up, and a red slope connects to the head of Maling City, which is particularly dazzling. If it weren't for the strong smell of blood in the air, no one would have thought that the color was dyed red by blood.
The soldiers of the Han army had eaten early. A group of soldiers who were to defend the city today, led by Wang Ping and Liu Hu, had already climbed to the top of the city. They held various defensive equipment and stood Where each should stand.
This group of soldiers has not yet participated in yesterday's tragic battle, but they are all very aware of it. As long as you pick up the weapon and stand in this place, it will be like entering the Shura Hell, with almost no possibility of survival.
But there was no fear on each of their faces, only a kind of determination and perseverance. A general is the courage of a soldier. Whether he is an army commander, a thousand captains, generals Wang Ping, Liu Hu, or even the King of Han Liu Cong, they will put life and death aside and swear to live and die with the city. How could they, ordinary soldiers, be afraid of death?
Liu Cong and Shi A also boarded the city, followed by a thousand imperial guards. Almost all the thousand people yesterday were killed in the battle, and there are still three thousand imperial guardsmen in the military camp below the city, ready to be ordered to the top of the city at any time.
"Warriors, today's battle will be more tragic than yesterday. All of us may die in the battle. Are you afraid?" Liu Cong looked at the soldiers on the top of the city and asked.
"Don't be afraid!" Almost everyone shouted at the same time.
¡°Fight to the bitter end and never retreat!¡± Wang Ping waved his sword and shouted loudly.
¡°Fight to the bitter end and never retreat!¡± All the soldiers shouted at the same time, and their voices echoed in the air and spread very far.
"Well, you are worthy of being a warrior of my Han Dynasty!" Liu Cong was very satisfied. "I will fight with you to the end with the Xiongnu! Foreign soldiers are all wolves of wealth. If they are allowed to rush into the city, they will massacre the people of our Han Dynasty. .This time when the Huns soldiers went south, the people of Beidi County did not flee. Why? Because they believed in us and believed that we could stop the Huns soldiers and defend their homes. Therefore, we stood on this city tower and refused to retreat even until we died in the battle. ! Use our flesh and blood to build a Great Wall!"
¡°Don¡¯t retreat even an inch and fight to the end!¡± All the soldiers shouted in unison again.
This time, the morale of the Han army increased to the highest level, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Fazheng and Huangfuhong also came to the top of the city at this time. Seeing this scene, they were excited and admired their lord Liu Cong very much. Just a few words can make the soldiers have such high fighting spirit. He is really an iron-blooded hero!
"Lord, look!" At this time, Wang Ping suddenly pointed to the city and said, "There are so many people!"
I saw tens of thousands of people coming towards the city head with knives, forks, bows and arrows, hoes, hammers and other instruments in their hands.
When we were approaching the tower, we stopped. Three men in their forties came to the bottom of the tower and said something to a soldier. Then, the soldier quickly went to the top of the city.
"Report to the prince, the three people below the city said that they were soldiers from Beidi County and want to see the prince!"
"Soldiers from Beidi County?" Liu Cong looked at the three people. Although they were older, they did have a military temperament. It seems that not only have they been soldiers before, but they have also fought in many battles. "Let them come up!"
"No!"
The soldiers went down and brought the three people to the top of the city.
"Common people meet the prince!" The three of them saluted Liu Cong.
"Old man, there is no need to be polite." Liu Cong waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I wonder why the old man wants to see me?"
"Your Majesty, we request to defend the city!" one of the oldest said.
"Defend the city?"
"Yes, we spontaneously organized about 20,000 young men to request defense of the city!"
Liu Cong took a look and found that there were indeed more than 20,000 people under the city, and most of them were young and strong, but the weapons in their hands were too poor.
"Old man, I understand your thoughts. It is our duty to fight against foreigners, protect our home and country, and prevent the people of Beidi County from being harmed. Tell the people and reassure them that we will fight until the end Even if we fight one soldier at a time, we will never take a step back, and we will never abandon the people and ignore them!"
"Your Majesty" After hearing Liu Cong's words, all three of them were filled with tears.
"Your Majesty and the soldiers of the Han army are fighting for our people in Beidi County. IfI feel uneasy just staying at home like this! "The oldest one said, "In yesterday's battle, more than 17,000 people under the prince's command were killed or seriously injured! "
"Your Majesty, we carried the wounded soldiers yesterday, but they would rather die in battle than go down to the city to be treated by military doctors. Especially some of the seriously injured people, they they used their bodies to shield their companions from knives and arrows"
"My lord, when we were cleaning up the corpses last night, the people all cried. Every corpse was covered in scars!"
"Old man"
"Your Majesty, the third king of the grass-roots people, once served as a captain of thousands. He served in the army in Xiliang for more than 20 years. He fought with foreigners and Beigong Boyu's rebels. He met many generals and soldiers. From I have never seen soldiers like these under the prince's command. You are truly for our people in Beidi County."
"Your Majesty" Wang San and three other people all knelt down.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will never cause trouble to the soldiers guarding the city! The more than 20,000 people under the city are all former veterans, hunters from each village, and young men from each county and city. In the past, when foreign invaders invaded, we also fought with small groups. Groups of stragglers fought bravely!"
"My lord, the people are loyal to defend the city. One more person will increase the chance of victory." Huangfuhong said.
"Lord, I think these are not weak people!" Wang Ping also said.
"Your Majesty"
"Okay!" Liu Cong thought for a while and felt that what Huangfu Hong and Wang Ping said was reasonable. Twenty thousand people was not a small number. With them, the chance of winning would be greater. Although there will be casualties in defending the city, once the city is broken, the casualties among the people will be even greater. "Old Wang, I would like to thank all of you people! Please get up quickly!"
"Your Majesty, kill the common people!" The three of them stood up.
"Huangfuhong, immediately distribute various weapons to these 20,000 people!"
"No!"
"Wang Ping Fazheng, you two immediately disperse the two thousand people and organize them into various armies. The same five thousand people are organized into a team. The number of people and veterans in each team must be equal. Three thousand imperial guardsmen have also been incorporated into the army!"
"My lord, this Royal Forest Army"
"Since everyone has to live and die with the city, why does my king need the Royal Forest Army to protect me?" Liu Cong said loudly.
