Chapter 5694 Jinu went out to force the army
With Liu Yu's words, the city gate in front of him had burned into a burnt white color. The iron sheet on the outside was like the red wrought iron on the bellows in the blacksmith shop. The black iron ash, like the dandruff on the human body, fell one after another, causing the ground in the cave to flow with red iron, mixed with iron ash, and flowing outward. The ground outside the door in the distance had condensed into a trace after the cooling of magma, mixed with wood ash, almost filling the entire earth.
Liu Yu strode forward, and the soldiers around him saw him and Meng Huaiyu, Xiang Mi and others following him. Liu Fan took the flag from Meng Huaiyu and stood behind. The many soldiers were surprised and happy. I don’t know which officer called out first: “Brother Jinu is mighty, brother Jinu is mighty!”
Soon, the Jin army that had passed tens of thousands of siege cities all stopped their work and began to yell the slogan. Many new soldiers who had accepted and recruited had never seen Liu Yu's appearance. At this moment, they rushed to the closest position of their respective teams to Liu Yu, wanting to see the style of this legendary general.
Liu Yu walked all the way behind Shen Tianzi. The auxiliary army had already pulled a chariot over and filled several large bags of earth bags in the chariot's box. These were originally used for siege, but now they became Liu Yu's footbags. Everyone knew that the commander of the Great Jin Dynasty suddenly appeared here and would definitely give speeches, mobilize the soldiers of the entire army, and issue the final siege order.
Shen Tianzi smiled and turned to Liu Yu and bowed: "See Brother Jinu, I know that you will definitely come to the battlefield. This last battle against Xu Daofu is also the end of your decades of grudges with him. Now, please give an order. The iron sheet in the city gate has been burned and the wood inside is almost the same. With just one blow from the Eight Niu Crossbow, it can be completely penetrated and broken. The demon thief should have filled the earth bags and other things to block it in the city gate, but these should not be a problem."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Xu Daofu trapped the lonely city and could not confront us with the conventional offensive and defensive methods. Tian Zi, our army attacked the city many times the day before yesterday, but there were a large number of demon thieves on the top of the city defending with strong bows and hard crossbows. Our army suffered thousands of casualties and did not climb the city wall. But today, don't you think it's too strange?"
Shen Tianzi's face changed slightly, and he murmured: "This, it seems that the siege of the city was indeed a bit smooth. However, we had carried out a large amount of arrow rain and catapults to suppress it before, and also smashed hundreds of corpses of the enemy's arrows."
Speaking of this, Shen Tianzi pointed to the corner of the city wall opposite, and saw hundreds of corpses of Tianshidao disciples wearing leather armor, falling under the city in a row, all with ferocious faces, gritting their teeth, and blood dripping from their bodies. Even the city was covered with pools of blood.
Shen Tianzi said seriously: "I thought the monster thief might use a big move in his last attempt, such as using ghost soldiers and immortal people, but the blood of these monster thieves who were shot to death was red, not purple and black. This shows that they are living people, not those things that are neither human nor ghost. The monster thief should be at the end of their lives and do not have enough ability to fight back."
Liu Yu shook his head: "For Xu Daofu, no matter when, you should not underestimate the enemy. This thief is extremely cunning and will use various methods of showing weakness and seducing the enemy to trick us. This is why I must come to the battlefield in person in this battle. I am not trying to seize the merit of killing Xu Daofu, but to attract his possible last blow to me to bear it."
Chen Tianzi's face changed: "No, Brother Jinu, you are a body of gold. Your safety is not only your personal, but also affects the soldiers and people of the Jin Dynasty, and the whole world. You said that this may be a trap and a killing situation, so you can't take risks in person."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Why, Tian Zi, how many times have you committed a crime with me and how many wars have you fought? I suddenly asked me to cherish my life and take care of myself. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
Chen Tianzi raised his eyebrows: "Today is different from the past, today's brother Jinu, but..."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "But what? Because my official position is getting bigger and bigger and higher, my military position is getting higher and higher, and this life becomes precious? If I die, the Great Jin will die? If the world is gone?"
Chen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "Tianzi doesn't mean that. Tianzi means that today the monster thief is desperate. There is no problem with our victory. There is no need to take your life to take risks."
Liu Yu laughed, turned around and pointed to the army formation behind him like a vast ocean, and the soldiers of the Jin army who were roaring his name in the mountains and seas, and said, "Aren't they taking risks with their lives? Why did the soldiers have been born and died for so long, and have been chasing demon thieves from Jiankang to here, and have sacrificed countless brothers in the past two years and suffered countless injuries. In this last battle, which is about to achieve success in one battle, they will continue to risk their lives to attack the city and face the last trap that Xu Daofu might set. As generals and the commander, we can retreat behind and use their lives to achieve our achievements?"
Chen Tianzi widened his eyes and said seriously: "Brother Jinu, please don't misunderstand that each of us soldiers from the Jin Dynasty has been prepared to sacrifice for the Jin Dynasty. In addition to fighting for fame and fortune, we have already made blood feuds with demon thieves over the years. Even if we fight for life, we will kill the demon thieves, avenge our brothers and comrades. Even if you order everyone to retreat now, there are probably few people who are willing to obey the orders. Brother Jinu, this is their chance to take revenge and the last chance. If you deprive them of such an opportunity, you will lose the morale of the army. Anyway, I, Chen Tianzi, cannot explain to them, and I cannot give such an order."
Liu Yu nodded: "This is why I have to show up here in person. I want to be here, towards the soldiers of the entire army, and towards the demon thief Xu Daofu, telling them that today is my final decisive battle with him. If he is a man and a man, don't hide in the city. I will give him a chance to duel with me with his own hands, just like I have given Murong Chui. I believe that there is righteousness in the world and justice in the sky. No matter what evil method Xu Daofu uses, can he be stronger than Murong Chui in the black robe?"
