General Zhao was really furious, and even more of his anger came from the fact that he was defeated by a young boy. This humiliation was no less than having someone strip him naked. It made people feel really uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was...
.
Naturally, General Zhao would not think about his mistakes, and gathered these spies together after returning.
One of the spies was in charge. He lowered his eyes and opened his mouth, but no words came out. It was precisely because of their silence that General Zhao's eyes widened even more, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Same.
General Zhao's chest heaved violently up and down with anger, and his dark eyes seemed to be spitting out fire. Then he turned all his spearheads on the spies.
Except for the officers and soldiers of Zhao State who knew about this furious rage in the camp, naturally the Daji side had no knowledge of it at all.
General Zhao, like all the soldiers, wanted to win, but unfortunately there was no one who could come up with a good idea.
"Why does the general think our army will be defeated today?" The deputy general couldn't help but ask after seeing General Zhao's silence.
When the general heard the word defeat, he glared at the deputy general and frowned as if he had said something wrong. However, he still endured his impatience and asked, "Where do you think you are?"
"Today's battle, according to my subordinates, the strength of Daji is equal to that of Daji. In the past, Daji tried its best to deal with our army, but it could only barely hold on with all its strength."
"Now they have changed their status. Defense is no longer just defense, but more of a strategic attack. Today they are the first to attack. They have never been like this before. We are not prepared, which makes us unable to respond.
Method."
The lieutenant general is not good at close combat, but he is smart and can figure things out quickly.
After hearing this, General Zhao Guo fell into deep thought. He had to say that the deputy general's idea was right. The Daji simply relied on people who could come up with ideas. If Zhao Guo did the same, they would surely be able to dominate the world faster!
General Zhao's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he quickly took up the idea. After waving to the deputy general, he whispered to him.
What he said was exactly the method he had just come up with, which was to take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to send people to sneak into the city and then find the right opportunity to assassinate Yan Ruyu.
The lieutenant left soon and started working on the assassin.
Even for assassination, there were naturally requirements for the person's physical appearance. Soon the deputy general found a thin soldier who was not weak in close combat ability.
Finally, in the middle of the night, General Zhao sent several soldiers to escort assassins to the city. The assassination was unexpected by Yan Ruyu. He was unprepared and was stabbed on the spot.
General Jiang quickly called the military doctor, and all the core personnel of this expedition gathered in Yan Ruyu's house. Yan Ruyu felt that something was wrong when he saw that the generals and deputies were all here.
At the same time, General Zhao made a sneak attack in the middle of the night and caught Daji off guard.
This sneak attack made the people in Liao County want to flee.
An empty city is a taboo in war. If the frontline soldiers find out, their morale will probably drop.
"No, no, what should we do?" The magistrate of Liao County stood up at once, muttering something in his mouth, and pacing back and forth in the hall.
"Quickly, send an order for the soldiers to guard the city gate and close the city gate tightly. Anyone who leaves the city..." A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the Liao County magistrate. He lowered his voice and said slowly, "Kill without mercy!"
He then said: "Come, follow this county magistrate to the city wall." To ensure that everything is safe, he has to guard it. No matter what, Liao County cannot become an empty city!
On top of the city wall, the magistrate of Liao County led a group of soldiers. Looking down the city wall, countless people, either alone or with their families, were rushing towards the city gate.
"Why, why do you want to close the city gate?" The people at the front found that the city gate was closed, threw away the packages in their hands, and asked angrily.
This word was spread to ten, and the people behind him all knew that the city gate was closed, and they immediately started to make a fuss.
"The county magistrate has an order that no one is allowed to leave Liao County, and no one is allowed to desert." The leading soldier shouted loudly, "Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."
The common people looked at the heavily armed soldiers wearing armor and holding silver spears and swords. They didn't know what to do for a while. The two sides fell into a stalemate. The people cried and shouted, but the soldiers showed no signs of wavering.
It happened that this scene was caught by Yan Ruyu's attendant, and he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went back to report to Yan Ruyu.
"Is this happening?" Yan Ruyu frowned and said in annoyance, "It's really confusing. How could the magistrate of Liao County come up with such a bad idea!"
The attendant summarized the matter in a few words, and Yan Ruyu understood all the details in an instant, and rushed towards the city wall without caring about anything else.
"County Magistrate, you are so confused!" Yan Ruyu looked at the Liao County Magistrate coldly and ordered indifferently, "Get out of the way and order the soldiers to evacuate the city gate."
"Fathers and fellow villagers in Liao County, please listen to me. I am the general sent by the imperial court this time. I hope you can listen carefully to what I am going to say. From now on, you can go wherever you go and no one will stop you.
.”
Yan Ruyu's cold voice resounded in the air, and the crying people were attracted, and they all looked up at the city wall.
"The soldiers on the front line are all holding shields, halberds and swords. They use their bodies and precious lives to fight against the Zhao army. Do they like war?
No. They are here to protect your lives behind them and exchange their deaths for your lives. Folks, please believe in the emperor, believe in me, and believe in the soldiers on the front line. We will repel those ambitious Zhao soldiers.
!”
Yan Ruyu recounted the fact in a light voice. War is so cruel. The death of one person is exchanged for thousands of opportunities in life. Language seems so feeble at this time.
The people under the city wall were silent. They looked up again. Their eyes that had become vicissitudes of life contained starlight, and there was no longer fear.
"So, now that I have finished speaking, if you are willing to leave, please leave."
Yan Ruyu ordered the soldiers at the city gate to open the city gate. The city gate was wide open, but no one left. They turned around in unison and walked farther and farther away from the city gate.
An inexplicable emotion flashed across Yan Ruyu's eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. With such a group of people supporting them, why couldn't they fight against Zhao Guo?
The magistrate of Liao County looked at this scene with utter shame on his face, and was secretly glad that he had not caused any serious trouble.
Time was running out, Yan Ruyu did not dare to waste a moment, and hurriedly returned to the study. He had to seize the time to read military books, study maps, and strive to win this war in the fastest time and with the least loss.
The breeze turned into an evening breeze, sweeping in with a coolness, and the dusk glow filled half of the sky.
