This also means that the union of the two armies is only temporary, or only today, once today, once today, then tomorrow the two armies will not jointly attack the city in the case of heavy losses, that is two different things.

Or rather, it's unlikely!

Liu Ye's spirits were greatly boosted, and he immediately summoned a few heralds, told them his guesses, and then asked them to spread among the soldiers defending the city to boost morale.

Then, he went into battle in person and participated in the fight.

Compared with the vigorous offensive in the morning, the offensive in the afternoon was very gentle, but it was this kind of calmness that made the defenders of the city tired to cope.

The soldiers are too tired......

If in peacetime, fighting or defending the city in an upright manner, even the elite Jin army is generally weaker than the soldiers of Cangguo, even if they do not belong to the six major legions, but the exercises on weekdays, plus the weapons in their hands, are not weaker than the border armies of other countries.

However, the continuous struggle greatly consumed the physical strength of the soldiers, and today it started in the morning and continued to fight in the afternoon...... So much so that in a state of insufficient manpower and very exhaustion, the enemy army attacked the city wall.

"Besiege the enemy who is attacking the wall!"

Liu Ye shouted vigorously.

Immediately, the soldiers on the city wall flocked to a place where there were enemy soldiers, and surrounded and killed the soldiers who had climbed the city wall.

In the process, there were also casualties among the defenders.

In proportional terms, the casualties of the defenders were actually very low.

But if you count the number of enemy troops...... I'm afraid the defenders are all depleted, and the enemy still has people to attack the city.

"Cheer me up!"

Liu Ye personally inspected the city wall, cheering for these soldiers who fought bloodily, boosting morale, and shouting: "Brothers, the city we guard is where the center of the Dali Dynasty was once located!" This is a city full of infinite glory, and if we have this city, it means that God will let us rule the world! His Majesty the Emperor is destined to be the co-lord of the world! We have been guarding the city for several years, and the people in the city are all our fathers and sisters, and they have great hopes for us! Therefore, we must not let the damned Wei army and the Jin army step in half a step!"

"Defend the city—"

"Defend the city—"

"Defend the city—"

Hearing this, the tired soldiers were inspired and shouted slogans one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted.

After a while, the morale gradually faded again.

This made Liu Ye very anxious.

Because the soldiers are so tired, a moment of encouragement may stimulate the brain, but over time, the body's instincts will prevail over the mind.

In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and run down the city tower to discuss with the overseer Zhao Bai.

"You're going to use points to motivate soldiers?"

When the overseer Zhao Bai heard this, he was immediately shocked.

Because, the army of Cangguo has always implemented the meritorious lord system, and points are very important for soldiers, representing privileges, status, money, honor, and future, which is the most direct embodiment of meritorious service, and can be said to be more important than military salary.

It is precisely for the sake of fairness and in order to be able to strictly implement the meritorious medal system, so the point system has a set of strict standards, even if the generalissimo of the six major legions, without special circumstances, it is a violation of military law to add points to the soldiers without authorization.

Liu Ye, who is just a 10,000-strong general, temporarily commands 20,000 defenders, and proposes to use points to motivate soldiers, which can be said to be very overstepping.

At the same time, Zhao Bai also understood why Zhao Ye would go down to the city tower when the battle was in full swing.

Because, if you really want to promise the soldiers and use points to boost morale, then you will definitely not be able to avoid him as a prisoner.

Only if he agrees, then it will be possible for the superiors to take into account the special situation and implement Liu Ye's promise to the soldiers.

Otherwise, the soldiers shed their blood for points, only to be told after the war that the extra points were invalid...... This situation is definitely a very bad time, in order to maintain the majesty of military law, the military department will definitely punish Liu Ye.

After pondering for a long time, listening to the earth-shattering sounds of fighting and swords outside, Zhao Bai finally nodded.

At this point, the most important thing is to defend this city.

If the military department blames it, it's a big deal to bear it together.

So many soldiers have sacrificed, and he can't be cowardly, and he can't be reluctant.

Liu Ye, who received the reply, was overjoyed, hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Soldiers, the general is now announcing that if you kill an enemy soldier in this defense of the city, you will be given an extra hundred points!"

Integral?

Integral!

Suddenly, the soldiers defending the city were boiling!

Points are not something that money can buy.

That's a real military feat!

Without the support of military merits, even if you have great ability, it is impossible to get the opportunity to be promoted.

After a battle, a soldier who gets very few points will even be despised by others, and he will be very inferior!

Exchanging points for knighthoods, changing one's own destiny, and changing the fate of one's family is almost the consensus of the entire Cangguo.

Most of these defenders were government soldiers.

The government soldiers, unlike the six major legions, lack the opportunity to directly fight the enemy army, and it can be a rare opportunity to earn points.

In particular, some young recruits sharpen their heads every year, desperately trying to drill into the six major legions, just to have the opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions.

Now, killing an enemy soldier gives you a hundred more points, what could be more motivating?

Defending the city requires faith.

But there is also a greater need for benefits!

In a short time, the news spread all over the city walls.

The morale of the defenders was ignited, and they were full of energy.

When I kill someone, I count the points in my mind, and I just feel full of energy.

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the morale of the soldiers, it will be no problem to hold on for another two hours.

When the time comes, the morale is exhausted.

For half an hour, Liu Ye and his generals tried their best to boost morale on the city wall.

As expected, the soldiers on the walls were so tired that even with points as an incentive, the strength of the defense would inevitably weaken.

Just when Liu Ye was worried, he saw the Jin army outside the city, and there was a lack of succession.

What's wrong?

Liu Ye was very surprised, it stands to reason that in such a good situation, the Jin army should be in one go, and take advantage of the situation to attack, nine times out of ten today it will be able to capture Licheng, why did it retreat all of a sudden?

On the other hand, the Wei army mobilized tens of thousands of troops and threw them into the siege.

Could it be that something has happened?

Or did the fragile alliance between the two armies break down all at once?

Rao is Liu Ye can't even think of breaking his head, the crux of the problem is not here.

Instead, the Jin army got the news that the army of Ruan Guo was approaching the city of Li and would arrive at the city in a few days.

According to this trend, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Xuanwu Legion would rush south to help.

The crisis of the Jin army has been solved, so naturally there is no more spending troops to make wedding clothes for the Wei army.
