"I understand." Li Zhiyun collected his thoughts and remained calm. He said to the messenger sent by the palace,""Go back and report to His Highness that I can't take down Yu County. My generals are being attacked from both sides, so I must take down Yu County first.”
"Yes, sir!" The messenger didn't say anything more and immediately got on his horse and left.
Li Zhiyun sighed and said to Wan Xuandao,"Sound the bell and withdraw."
At this time, the morale of the army had already been defeated by Li Xiuning. Attacking the city walls again and again would only increase the casualties.
He needed to reorganize the army and boost their morale before he could fight again.
Beep beep beep…
The bugle sounded, and corpses were thrown onto the ground. At least a thousand people would forever remain under the city walls of Yu County, and the remaining soldiers who attacked the city retreated like a tide with injuries.
Li Zhiyun looked at Yu County, which was only ten meters tall and not very tall. His eyes revealed an unwilling expression, mixed with a trace of anxiety.
"Fifth Young Master, you don't have much time left. Once your father enters the pass, it will be the day of your calamity.”Tang Jian laughed strangely at an inappropriate time.
He seemed to be mocking Li Zhiyun.
"You can only do as I say. You still have a chance of survival.”Li Zhiyun had destroyed him, so he would also destroy Li Zhiyun!
Wan Xuandao's eyes were filled with killing intent. He pointed at Tang Jian and shouted,""Tang, if you don't shut your dog mouth, I'll chop you up!”
Wan Xuandao felt that Tang Jian was like a poisonous snake.
If he stayed by Li Zhiyun's side, sooner or later, Li Zhiyun would be destroyed by this guy.
"Uncle, stop!" Li Zhiyun grabbed Wan Xuandao's arm and said to him,""Uncle, after you withdraw your troops, go and capture the villagers from the nearby villages.”
" Zhiyun, we can't…" Wan Xuandao tried to dissuade him.
Li Zhiyun shook his head and interrupted him." Uncle, I know what to do. It's very important to us now. I need only one voice in the army for the time being. Do as I say!"”
Wan Xuandao was stunned.
He saw an unquestionable iron will on Li Zhiyun's face.
Wan Xuandao sighed in his heart. He could understand Li Zhiyun and nodded."I'll do this. I'll be in charge of the siege tomorrow.”
Li Zhiyun knew that Wan Xuandao wanted to take the responsibility of driving the civilians to attack the city and bear the blame for him.
Li Zhiyun didn't explain and said directly,""Do as I say first."
……
In the evening, tens of thousands of villagers had gathered outside the camp.
Li Zhiyun personally led the cavalry and 3,000 infantrymen to drive the villagers closer to Yu County.
Along the way, the women, the elderly, and the young were terrified. Their cries sounded like mourning songs, making people upset.
Tang Jian sat on a simple chair and was carried by the soldiers beside Li Zhiyun. He already knew what Li Zhiyun wanted to do.
Tang Jian laughed mockingly." Fifth Young Master, I'm afraid you won't succeed if you want the relatives of Third Miss 'soldiers to weaken the fighting spirit of Third Miss's army. The best way is to drive the civilians to attack the city. Those soldiers will definitely be afraid when facing their relatives.”
"Shut up! Believe it or not, I'll cut you down with my saber!" Wan Xuandao shouted angrily.
After the civilians were captured, they were not ordered to attack the city, which made Wan Xuandao slightly relieved.
However, Tang Jian was like a poisonous snake, constantly bewitching Li Zhiyun's ears, which made Wan Xuandao very uneasy.
He wanted to kill Tang Jian immediately.
Tang Jian didn't care about Wan Xuandao at all. He even deliberately smiled and looked at Tang Jian provocatively.
The chaotic commoners gradually approached the city wall under the chase. Some of the commoners began to shout.
"Goudan, I'm your mother, I'm your mother!”
"Big brother, don't shoot, I'm inside.”
"Daddy, daddy…"
……
On the city wall, Li Xiu Ning looked at the agitated soldiers around her and couldn't help but frown.
She knew that Li Zhiyun was anxious.
She had also received news of the Taiyuan uprising.
However, Li Zhiyun's ruthlessness was beyond her expectations.
Now, she could drive the civilians away to disrupt her morale. Would she drive the civilians away to attack the city tomorrow?
At that time, would she still be able to hold on?
Li Xiu Ning watched as Li Zhiyun appeared 150 meters away on his horse.
She sneered and provoked him." Fifth Brother, you really disappoint me. You keep saying that others are driven by ambition, as if you are the only one who is doing it for the sake of the world. You will definitely drive the commoners to attack the city tomorrow, right? Are you doing this for the sake of the world?”
Li Zhiyun was very calm in the face of Li Xiu Ning's provocation. Instead, he smiled and admitted,""Third Sister is indeed smart. You guessed it so quickly.”
"Despicable!" Ma Sanbao shouted angrily and pointed his saber at Li Zhiyun.""If you have the ability, fight us fair and square!”
Haha...
Li Zhiyun raised his head and laughed mockingly." There is only victory and defeat on the battlefield. The process is not important. Third Sister, if you were really upright, you wouldn't have sent an army of women to assassinate me.”
"But I'm not as despicable as you. I won't use civilians to attack a city!”Li Xiu Ning sneered sarcastically.
"I'm just using despicable means to achieve a noble goal." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.”
Li Xiu Ning was stunned. This was the first time she had heard such a comment.
A moment later, Li Xiu Ning came back to her senses and sneered,""Fifth Younger Brother really knows how to make use of words!"
"Third Sister, it's useless to say more. You should know about the Taiyuan uprising. Tonight, I will order the civilians to attack the city at any time.”Li Zhiyun directly told Li Xiuning about his plan.
That's right, Li Zhiyun wanted to attack the city at night. Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, he must take down Yu County!
"All of you, shout loudly and tell your loved ones to put down their weapons. Otherwise, you father and son, brothers and mothers will fight each other later!”Li Zhiyun deliberately raised his voice so that the soldiers on the opposite tower could hear him.
Immediately, terrified cries sounded.
