"General Wang has ordered!"
"All citizens who have returned to the city, line up to receive food and clothes!”
"Do not create chaos during this period. Come and collect it in an orderly manner!”
With this order, the captives consciously lined up and formed several long lines below the city.
The quality displayed by these people was even a bit better than the commoners in the city. This caused Wang Li to be greatly amazed.
"What exactly have they experienced to be so orderly?”
But now was not the time to think about this. The Turkic army was still attacking the city, and he had to return to command the battle!
Wang Li gave an order to his trusted soldiers and was about to return to the city wall.
"After these people have collected their clothes and food, let them return home to rest.”
The physical and mental pressure of being captured by the Turks was unimaginable.
Since they were lucky enough to come back alive, they should be properly arranged.
After all, they are all citizens of the Great Tang.
Wang Li turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, the captive closest to him blocked Wang Li.
"No, I can't! General Wang! I don't want to go home. I want to go into battle and kill the enemy. I want to kill all these bastards! Please grant my wish, General Wang!"
The person who appeared in front of him was an old man who was over fifty years old.
The old man's stubborn and hateful gaze caused Wang Li's heart to tremble.
However, Wang Li still shook his head and waved his hand to signal for this person to leave.
"War is not a game. People will die on the battlefield! You have just escaped from the barbarians. Now is the time to rest and recuperate, not to drag your tired bodies into battle!”
A group of pitiful people who had been tortured and still had to go into battle to kill the enemy?
Wasn't this nonsense?
It was impossible for Wang Li to agree to such a ridiculous request. Even if he had the intention, he would have to rest for a period of time before doing so.
However, he still underestimated their determination.
As soon as he said this, not only did the people in front of him not leave, but even more people surrounded him.
They didn't even bother to collect their food. They left the group and knelt in front of Wang Li, loudly begging to join the battlefield.
Wang Li frowned and couldn't help but berate,"Nonsense!"
Wang Li was about to order his subordinates to chase them away.
But at this moment, a young girl with unkempt hair and dirty face walked in front of Wang Li and slowly knelt down.
"General Wang, you might not know how heartless these bastards are!”
"Not only do they treat us as livestock, enslaving us and making fun of us.”
"Even…even…"
When the young girl said this, she could not help but cry. She was so excited that she could not even complete her sentence.
Tears streamed down her face and dripped down her chin.
Judging from the tears that had passed through her skin, it could be seen that her face was very fair. Coupled with her exquisite facial features, she should be very beautiful.
However, beauty was not a good thing for her.
Listening to the young girl's emotional narration, one could not help but think of her experience. How painful it must have been.
Wang Li's lips quivered. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he couldn't say a single word.
At this moment, any words of comfort were like sprinkling salt on the girl's wound.
The girl took a deep breath. She had already calmed down.
When she opened her mouth again, her voice had become resolute and cold!
"The reason why we have suffered humiliation and survived until now is not to live.”
" Instead, I fantasize that one day, I will take revenge for the humiliation I have suffered a hundred times, a thousand times!”
"Our broken bodies will only live for revenge for the rest of our lives!”
"This hatred is irreconcilable! General Wang, please take pity on us and fulfill our determination to take revenge!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the captives kowtowed in unison.
"Please grant my wish, General Wang!"
"General Wang, please help us!"
……
Wang Li was moved when he saw the vengeful eyes of those resentful ghosts.
He could feel the determination of the avengers!
Wang Li's eyes opened and closed as he asked the leading girl.
"What's your name?"
"Yang Hen!" The young girl replied hatefully. My name is Yang Hen, General!"
Yang Hen.
This was obviously not her real name.
However, this was no longer important.
"Alright, Yang Hen! Since you want revenge, then I will grant your wish. After you collect the food, you can bring them to collect weapons and armor. I will allow you to go into battle and kill the enemy!”
"Thank you, General Wang!"
"No, no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Your Highness.”
If Li Yu hadn't asked him to treat the people well, Wang Li wouldn't have saved these people.
After hearing his words, the captives knelt down and kowtowed. Their earth-shaking voices covered the sounds of cannons and reverberated in the sky above Youzhou City.
"We thank Your Highness the King of Yan for your grace. Long live the King of Yan!”
……
The King of Yan?
Wang Li was stunned. That highness still didn't have a title.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved and did not correct the way these avengers addressed him.
His Highness Li Yu's fief was in Youzhou. When he was officially conferred the title, wouldn't he be the King of Yan?
So what if it was a misunderstanding? It might not be a bad thing.
Wang Li nodded at everyone and walked towards the city wall.
……
On the city wall, Zhuge Liang was commanding the battle.
The sound of cannons shook the sky, and the stones rolled.
With the soldiers working together, the Turkic soldiers couldn't even get close to the walls.
Before they could even reach the city wall, they were killed by the artillery shells and rolling stones!
In just two hours, less than half of the 100,000-strong vanguard troops sent by the Ancient Wilderness Tribe were left!
Seeing Wang Li come up, Zhuge Liang put away the feather fan in his hand, and his tightly furrowed brows could not help but relax.
"General Wang, you came at the right time. Although I think I'm proficient in military affairs, I still feel pressured to personally command the city defense. General Wang, since you're back, I can also put down the heavy burden on my body.”
Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he was really exhausted. However, he was still in the mood to joke, so the pressure shouldn't be too great.
Wang Li shook his head and chuckled." Sir, you must be joking. It's all thanks to your good command that I didn't cause the defense line to fall into chaos when I left the front line. I should be grateful to you."”
"You and I don't have to flatter each other.”
Zhuge Liang exchanged a few pleasantries and then said with a serious expression,"General Wang, please take a look. There's been a mistake in the battle! It's not that I'm being humble, but I really can't adjust this mistake. I have to rely on General Wang to do it personally!”
"Oh? What's the problem?" When Wang Li heard this, he could not help but be somewhat puzzled.
He frowned as he looked at the battlefield below the city. The enemy troops had been completely routed. There was no problem.
However, Wang Li's expression immediately became grave.
At first glance, there was indeed no problem.
However, after careful observation, he realized that the problem was huge!
Zhuge Liang was right, the battle line needed to be adjusted immediately!
