Chapter 5695 Stabilize the morale of the army and reduce the fanaticism
Liu Yu nodded seriously and said seriously: "Yes, it is very necessary. This is not my impulse, or my desire to kill Xu Daofu with his own hands and get some credit, but because I have to do so."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu jumped onto the chariot, stood on the earth bag, turned around and saluted the thousands of troops behind him. At this moment, all the soldiers quickly began to salute with their hands flattened their chests, and the loud noise just now stopped.
Liu Yu looked back at Chen Tianzi and said, "Tianzi, withdraw all the soldiers who attacked the city first. There is no need to attack force now. It will not be too late to order when I finish speaking."
Chen Tianzi nodded and turned around and whispered a few words to the scouts and messengers beside him. Suddenly, the sound of gold sounds rose everywhere. The soldiers who were lined up in front of the city wall, preparing to climb various siege towers or rushed directly from the city gate, especially the thousands of Wu veterans who had put on wet cowhides in front of the city gate early and prepared all fire attacks, could only stand up and retreat unwillingly. They had to look at the city wall and the burning city gate more than they had to look at Liu Yu. Obviously, in the hearts of these people, the desire to rush into the city was more than the eyes of Liu Yu, the legendary god of war.
The sound of gold gradually dissipated. The battlefield where the sound of killing just now fell into a terrible calm. Even the crows and vultures who hovered in the sky and seemed to be coming down to eat corruption at any time were now far away from this battlefield where corpses were everywhere, as if they were shocked by Liu Yu's righteousness, or were driven away by some unspeakable and unknown dangers. Only the sound of flags that were waving in the strong wind still echoed on the entire battlefield.
Above the city wall, after the city gate, there was a silence like death. The fire on the city gate was still burning. I don’t know how long it would take for the city gate to fall down. I don’t know what kind of scene would be after the city gate. There was no Tianshi Taoist battle flag still erecting on the top of the city wall, and there were only bursts of black smoke rising up, but no sound could be heard by humans.
Liu Yu quickly evaluated the situation on the battlefield, turned to look at the military formation behind him, and he shouted: "Soldiers of the Jin army, I am Liu Yu, General of the Chef and Cavalry. I am here to govern the final battle against the demon thieves under the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. In front of you, it is Shixing City. This is the old nest of Xu Daofu, the deputy leader of the demon thief and the commander of the entire army of the demon thief. Under this city, you have been fighting for nearly half a year, killing more than 40,000 demon thieves and rescuing nearly 30,000 civilians. In addition, you have made contributions and gains from the defense of Jiankang, your bloody battles and your bloody sacrifices. Every effort will be remembered by the Great Jin Dynasty clearly, and after the war, you will also give you the rewards stipulated by the laws of the state!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Serve the family and country, destroy the demon thief, the great Jin Dynasty is mighty, and Brother Jinu is mighty!"
After this cheer, a loud voice shouted: "Brother Jinu, give me an order to kill us into the city, kill all the stubborn demon thieves, kill Xu Daofu, and avenge the dead brothers!"
"That's right, I'm not greedy for merit. I just want to avenge my dead relatives and comrades!"
"Brother Jinu, I don't want any credit. I just ask for an opportunity to chop Xu Daofu with my own hands. If I don't kill him, my three dead brothers will die in peace!"
"Brother Jinu, give the order. We will rush in now and kill all the demon thieves!"
Liu Yu's eyes swept through the army formations. On the excited and eager faces, he saw the morale, morale, and what everyone thought. The heartbeat of tens of thousands of soldiers was a reflection of their strong desire for war. Everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly. With a command, the 50,000 Jin troops would flood and destroy the entire Shixing inner city wall from all directions like a tide!
Liu Yu said loudly: "Soldiers, brothers, please calm your excitement. Listen to me, I, Liu Yu, stayed in the army after the battle at Lekchi Zuoli, and stayed in the back camp of the baggage. I acted with you. I changed my appearance and hiding my name, just to witness your contributions along the way. At the same time, I also need to hide in the dark, observe and analyze the possible counterattack methods of the demon thief. Xu Daofu, this thief head, is
The cunning and cruelest one is very good at deceiving us with illusions. When we think he is vulnerable and weakest, he can give us a heavy counterattack. The former General Xie Yan, later General He Wuji, General Liu Yi, and finally my younger brother General Liu Daogui. As well as the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under their command, they were all at the time of the most confidence that they were caught in Xu Daofu's trick and suffered a heavy defeat."
"Especially, my younger brother, Liu Daogui, the general of the Western Expedition, who has been through many battles, was plotted by him after defeating Xu Daofu's army. Now his life and death are uncertain. Brothers, the closer they are to victory, the more you cannot take it lightly. Otherwise, your pride and arrogance today will become more tragedy for future relatives and friends to avenge you and regret."
The sounds of requests for battle gradually subsided. Everyone cooled down their hot minds and began to think seriously about Liu Yu's words, but a few people still said unconvincedly: "But Brother Jinu, are we going to let Xu Daofu go like this? Are we not siege the city?"
"We have been sieging Xu Daofu and the demon thief for half a year. They have been killed and injured, and they are at the end of their lives. Do we have to be sieged for another half a year? Is this battle more difficult than the Battle of Guanggu?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "This brother is right. When the battle of Guanggu, we all thought that when Murong Chui's main force was completely over, he could have a way out of the city to fight back, almost defeating our siege troops. The last counterattack of this black-robed demon even came to me and duel with me. Before this day's decisive battle, we saw people coming out to surrender constantly in the city. The soldiers guarding the city had no food and had already suffered from soft foot disease and could not stand at the city. If I hadn't taken it lightly, I was afraid that the heads of the generals and the generals would have been hung on the city's head."
