"How many casualties did our army suffer?"
"Five hundred!"
"What is it? So many?"
" Our army is mostly ordinary soldiers," Lu You said in shame." Some of them are even on the battlefield for the first time. How can they compare to Cao Cao's elite army?"”
Wang Mou's expression was ugly. The real offensive and defensive battle had only begun today. Yesterday was not counted at all. In just one day, 500 people had died. How long could those 4,000 people last? Eight days?
What a joke. His plan was to hold them off for a month. Otherwise, who else could he expect to provide support?
"This won't do. Tomorrow, go gather all the young men in the city and tell them that if they want to live, they have to do something. If they want money, they have to go to the battlefield.”
"Young Master, these people have never been on the battlefield.”
"Even if it doesn't work, it has to work. The war in Pengcheng concerns the entire Xu Prefecture. No matter how many casualties there are, there's nothing we can do because we don't have a choice!”
After that, Wang Mou came to the wounded soldiers 'camp and asked about their well-being. He also brought over a large pile of supplies and medicinal herbs to encourage them, which made them very touched.
Before the war, all the husbands in the city had been gathered for this moment. After all, they were all human lives, and it was important to save one person.
"Rest well. I'll wait to fight side by side with you again!”
"Thank you, Young Master!"
After inspecting the city's defenses one last time, Wang Mou dragged his exhausted body and lay down.
When they woke up the next morning, the young men in the city had already been gathered. There were more than ten thousand people in total.
There was chaos everywhere, and the young and strong were all combat forces. No faction would let them go. They were either voluntarily recruited or forced to do so. Wang Mou was already very satisfied that he could take out more than 10,000 people from the hundreds of thousands of people!
He asked someone to bring over boxes of valuables and placed them in front of them.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't fought in a war before. Be more eye-catching and see how the soldiers do it. If it wasn't for the fact that I had no other choice, I wouldn't want you to go to the battlefield either. All of this is for the sake of survival!”
"So, whether it's for your own safety or for the money, lend me your strength. Only by defeating the Cao army can we be saved, Pengcheng can be saved, and the entire Xu Prefecture can be saved!”
"Think about the tragedy in Guang Qi. Your belongings were stolen, your family members were killed, and your wives and daughters were defiled.”
"No!"
"The Cao army is human, and so are we. Why should we be bullied and slaughtered by them? They also have hands and feet. Can't we counterattack? Tell me, are you trash?"
"No!"
"Our hometown has been harmed, and our family is about to face a disaster. As men, shouldn't we rise up and resist to protect this family?”
"Yes, sir!"
"Now, pick up your weapons and charge up the city wall. Kill those inhumane Cao troops and protect our hometown and family.”
"Kill them!"
Under Wang Mou's passionate roar, it resonated with the people in the city. Not only did the young and strong roar, but even the old, weak, women, and children also shouted for help.
"Young Master, although we are useless, we can still help!”
"I heard that the rivers of blood in Guang Qi have turned into hell on earth. We can't let the Cao army do this. We have to help!”
"Repulse the Cao army!"
"Repulse the evil spirits!"
"Young Master, please allow us to participate in the battle!"
" It's a good thing that you want to help, but the battlefield is not a place you can go to. If you are in danger, how can the soldiers fight in peace?" So you guys just help out from behind and do what you can!”
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Everyone dispersed in a hubbub. The young and strong picked up their weapons and rushed to the top of the city wall. The old and weak did some chores such as lighting fires, transporting, repairing, and so on. The entire city was mobilized.
The boxes of valuables that were moved out at the beginning, no one took a look at them.
Wang Mou smiled faintly."Compared to wealth, emotions are the greatest motivation!”
When Cao Cao led his army over and saw the dense number of heads on the city wall, his face immediately darkened!
"Damn Wang Mou, even the commoners were mobilized!”
"Don't worry, my lord. It's fine when things are going well for a group of motley crew. If something goes wrong, the morale of the army will be in chaos. They might be scared to flee when they see blood. That will only cause trouble and won't have much impact on our army!”
Cao Cao nodded." No one can stop me from taking revenge. I'll kill them sooner or later anyway, and the result will be the same!”
With a command, the fierce battle began again!
However, after a day, the commoners who were seen as a motley crew used their strength to give the Cao army a hard slap in the face.
When their own lives and the safety of their families were threatened, they burst out with a tenacious fighting spirit. From the initial discomfort to the courage to wave their weapons, and finally to personally kill and see blood. These cowardly citizens completed a great transformation in their lives and became true warriors, a warrior who protected their families!
Although they suffered heavy casualties, they were not afraid of death. They adapted to the battlefield at an extremely fast speed and repelled wave after wave of Cao troops to defend their position!
