Chapter 12 Team Rate

Liu Ye smiled: "Okay, the Yellow Turban Bandit has retreated, let's light a torch."

A dozen torches were immediately raised among the countless reinforcements, and Sun Chang barely cheered up, and his complexion changed drastically.

It turned out that the so-called "reinforcement soldiers" were holding rakes or forks in their hands. They were all dressed in civilian clothes. Where there were no reinforcements, they were just a group of old and weak people who could not defend the city.

Liu Ye said loudly: "The Yellow Turban bandits are many and powerful, but they don't distinguish between the enemy and us at night. There are 20,000 people in Licheng, that's 20,000 elite soldiers!"

Sun Chang looked at Liu Ye in disbelief: My God, is this still that idle, fierce fighter Liu Yuqing?

Sun Chang took a few breaths slowly and calmed down: "Liu Yuqing, today you not only saved someone's life, but also saved tens of thousands of elders in Licheng. When you go back, you will definitely ask the county magistrate for your credit."

Liu Ye cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you Lieutenant Sun."

Sun Chang waved his hand, and several relatives around him rushed up and helped him down from the top of the wall, and Wu De's excited voice came over.

"Brother! The yellow turban bandits at the head of Beicheng retreated."

Liu Ye turned around, Wu De looked excited, but there was a hole in the leather armor on his body, Liu Ye tore off the strip of cloth to bandage him without saying a word, Wu De moved: "It's nothing, just let a bandit tie it up Come on, it's okay."

Liu Ye waited until he finished bandaging his wound, and then asked with concern, "How many people were injured or injured tonight?"

Wu De was stunned, but a voice behind him said: "Brother Liu, twenty of you died, nearly sixty were injured, and there are more than a dozen who are seriously injured and may not survive. We still have two hundred More than seventy warriors."

A man came out from behind Wu De, bowed his head to Liu Ye, and raised his head to see that there was a short beard under his jaw, and his face was fair and bookish.

Liu Ye became interested. Although Wu De was close to him, he was careless. Although he could follow instructions, he didn't know how to adapt. But this kid, who can remember casualties, is a talent.

"what's your name?"

The man with the white face smiled: "I'm waiting for you, Zhao, and I'd like to follow the elder brother to kill the thief."

Liu Ye laughed, and put his arms around Wu De and Zhao and others: "With you two helping me, what a mere yellow scarf thief!"

In the county government office, Song He didn't expect that the Yellow Turbans would attack the city at night, so he was busy arranging manpower to take care of the wounded and pack up the ordnance. He frowned again when he heard the numbers reported by the pawn Song Yu.

"Where's Sun Chang? Why don't you see him?"

"Probably he is dealing with the aftermath. Don't worry, Brother Dongguan."

As soon as Song Yu finished speaking, Sun Chang stepped into the county office with a bloodless face: "How is the county lord?"

Song He was taken aback when he saw the wound on Sun Chang's shoulder, stood up and walked up: "Are you injured?"

Sun Chang waved his hand: "Master of the county, now is the time to employ people, you can quickly promote Liu Yuqing!" Sun Chang told Song He all about how brave Liu Ye was to mobilize the people in the city to pretend to be the Han army.

"Oh? This Liu Yuqing knows how to use soldiers? A hundred years ago, Lian Fan, the prefect of the Shangdang Party, used the common people to pretend to be an army to scare off tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry." Song Heshun, who has read history books, is naturally very clear about this section.

Sun Chang nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "Liu Yuqing has the courage to slay generals and capture the flag, the wisdom to defeat the enemy, and the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times. If Licheng wants to guard against the yellow scarf bandits, Liu Yuqing must do it!"

Song He hummed, and sat back again with a solemn expression. After stretching his brows a few times, he looked at Sun Chang: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Order Liu Ye to be a Marquis! In charge of the military power in Licheng, although there are many Yellow Scarves, it is nothing to worry about." Sun Chang swore to recommend Liu Ye, and Song He nodded: "Yes, but."

"The position of military marquis is of great importance and should not be taken lightly. Liu Yuqing is already the head of the village at a young age. Why don't you be promoted to the leader of the team to reward the defense of the city tonight. If you can defeat the enemy in the future, how about more rewards?" The pawn on the side Seeing Song He's embarrassed look, Song Yu rolled his eyes, and immediately spoke up.

Song He was overjoyed: "This discussion is very good, just follow your words."

Sun Chang sighed, but he was a county lieutenant after all, and he still had to listen to Song He's words for official promotion.

The next day, the rising sun cast thousands of golden lights, shining on the blood-stained city wall of Li City. Spears thrown to the ground, knives around their heads, and broken blood-stained flags all showed the signs of yesterday. The tragedy of the night attack. And under the city head, there are many corpses piled up, some with yellow scarves on their heads, some wearing leather armor, and they can't wake up again.

As the sun rose, it was time for Licheng people to open their eyes, but this time meant another meaning, that is, the Yellow Turban Bandit was about to attack the city again.

Liu Ye lay between the holes at the top of the city, watching the formation of the Yellow Turban Army. He could only see that except for the north wall, the other three walls were surrounded by groups. The yellow scarves huddled together shoulder to shoulder, although they didn't look neat.

However, with a gust of wind blowing, the yellow turban fluttered in the wind, as if there were three yellow raging waves outside the city. On the other hand, in Licheng, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the number of Ding Zhuang dropped from 3,000 to less than 2,000, and the number of 500 Han soldiers was only 300. The ratio of the number of the two sides has reached more than ten to one. .

"Siege Three Queyi, it seems that the thief general is also a person who knows how to fight." Liu Ye supported the top of the city. Surrounding the city is the most common method of attacking the city. If all four walls are surrounded and no exits are left, Then the defenders in the city will desperately defend the city knowing that there is no hope of breaking through the encirclement. Instead, leaving a wall without attacking can eliminate the defenders' will to fight to the death.

In the midst of the cold wind, among the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers facing the east wall, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly opened up a passage like waves splitting, and a strong horse carried a soldier with a sword in his waist. , the yellow turban general wearing an iron helmet strolled out, surrounded by more than ten riders, he seemed to be a well-known figure among the yellow turban thieves.

More than ten riders rode out, and stopped at a distance of more than two hundred steps from the top of the city. In the middle, a rider surrounded by stars and moons said loudly: "This is Zhou Jun, the commander of Qingzhou Canal. He was merciful when attacking the city yesterday, and he doesn't want to hurt you." Elders of Licheng, if you wait for Kaesong to surrender and follow the great virtuous teacher to overthrow the imperial court, everyone will have fields and food, wouldn’t it be wonderful?"

Wu De on the top of the wall couldn't hold back a burst of laughter, and said to Liu Ye: "Brother, this guy is really eloquent, he obviously left thousands of corpses, but he said he was merciful."

Liu Ye smiled and stood up.

"You are a thief, burning, killing and looting, some people are protecting the environment and the people, dare to come here to tell lies, and deceive me that the sword is not good for evil?"
