Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stood side by side on the wall, and outside the city was the Jianghuai army, which was at its peak and the flag was like a sea, and the number increased to 40,000.

Duvowe's central army was spread out on a hillock, with cavalry as the main force and heavily equipped armored troops as the second.

The vanguard army consisted of shield soldiers, archers, axemen, and fortifications, and was equipped with the necessary tools for siege, such as alberjacks, ladders, and building carts.

The left and right flank armies each had 5,000 men, and all of them were cavalry.

There were still two units in the rear of the Chinese army, which could be used to defend the rear road and serve as reinforcements.

At this time, the sun rises in the middle of the sky, shining on the earth, reflecting the shimmering brilliance of weapons, adding to the atmosphere of killing.

The drums of war are beating.

More than 70 iron vertical cars dedicated to blocking arrows began to move in the direction of Jingling, and there were more than 10 archers hidden behind each vehicle, as long as they reached an appropriate distance, they could shoot arrows from behind the large iron plate that was two feet high to cover the attack of others.

As long as you think that the Jianghuai Army can conquer even a fortified city like Liyang, you will know that these iron-plated cars that seem to have no sense of beauty at all and are just like tombstones are not a joke.

The carts began to push forward, moving towards them like towers.

The warriors on the stairs can not only cover the entire city within the range of arrows because the height is similar to the wall, but also directly step on the wall and attack the city when it is close to the wall.

The trumpets sounded.

Hundreds of catapults, driven by hundreds of fortifications, came first, overtook the building carts, and chased after the iron-plated trucks.

The 40,000 Jianghuai troops shouted in unison, and the war horses neighed wildly. The wind and clouds outside Jingling City changed color.

Huang Yi moved his muscles and slowly walked towards Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling on the door wall.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Xu Ziling just faced Huang Yi's side. Hi Dao.

Huang Yi nodded and said, "Thank you two brothers for your emergency treatment." Anyway, what's going on now?"

"Alas!" Xu Ziling shook his head and sighed: "Although Dad's Jianghuai Army is not angry, it is well-equipped and has rich combat experience, and it can be regarded as a regular army. And we...... Not to mention the number of people is less than half, half of them are still improvised strong men. Even the equipment is inferior equipment left over from the past. It's already timid...... before the war starts."

Huang Yi looked around. Suddenly, his head was as big as a fight, and he was facing Du Fuwei, who was invincible in the battle for hegemony. On the other hand, the people of their own side are panicked and chaotic, and this battle has been lost without fighting.

"It's not the way to go. Huang Yi said: "The opposite side is indeed high-spirited. And their own side is each with a sad face. If you want to win the battle, you must first raise your morale!"

"Alas!" Kou Zhong's gaze returned from the other camp, and he sighed in distress and said, "It's easy to say. I was proud to have come here before. As a result, after actually climbing the city wall, I realized that I was thinking too simply! Tens of thousands of lives were in my hands, like an invisible mountain pressing on my shoulders! What should I do......

Huang Yi smiled: "It's nothing...... It just shows that you value other people's lives. If it's really insensitive. What's the use of getting the world. It's not the same as Yang Guang's faint king. ”

"Then what should I do now? Obviously, I learned so much from Lu Miaozi. Kou Zhong said emotionally.

"Are you afraid?" Huang Yi asked, "Don't think about the consequences. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Even if you fail, it's experience. Since the civilians have been evacuated from the city through tunnels, even if they are defeated, what is there to be afraid of? As long as they don't die, it's a big deal to start over. ”

"You don't understand!" Kou Zhong roared, "Just because of Feng Ge and Feng Han's trust in me, just because so many soldiers trust me. They shed their blood, and I don't want to live up to their trust and expectations. So I can't lose! I ......."

"Slap ......" Huang Yi slapped over. I grew up in the barracks and fought more than 100 wars, big and small. It's not that big, but when you know what we think about as warriors, we're going to win. We want freedom, we want peace......"

Huang Yi's voice became louder and louder. In the end, it was completely yelled. Some of the soldiers guarding the city and passing by all looked at it curiously.

Huang Yi continued: "Soldiers are not afraid of death, guarding their hometowns, and guarding their hometowns is glorious even if they sacrifice. People who are afraid of death should not be fighters, because they are not bullshit, not only themselves, but also teammates. ”

"Come on......" Huang Yi pulled Kou Zhong and threw him in front of a group of soldiers and shouted, "You tell this leader, are you afraid of death, why do you want to be a soldier?"

"We ...... We want to protect our family, friends, and loved ones. We ......," said a group of soldiers.

"Fart!" Huang Yi's momentum of the army instructor hidden deep in his body suddenly exploded. A mountain of courage and responsibility radiates in all directions. Everyone felt a shock all over their bodies.

"You're talking, it's all. I just need simple answers. That is, to resist the aggressor, to defend the homeland, to protect the masses. Do you understand? Those who don't understand immediately go to the tunnels and roll out of the city. You are not worthy to be soldiers, you are not worthy to be soldiers......"

"Understood...... "The chief replied.

"Understand, you are soldiers from the Japanese kingdom, and you will tell your leader loudly with your determination. Are you afraid of death?" Huang Yi roared.

The soldiers seemed to be infected by Huang Yi's momentum. One by one, they said enthusiastically: "Don't be afraid!"

"Can you win?" Huang Yi asked again.

Soldiers, look at me, I'll look at you. Everyone knows the difference in the strength of the two armies, and no one dares to say that they will win. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Kou Zhong. They were all waiting for the temporary leader to speak.

Huang Yi looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Do you understand now? Everyone is not afraid of death, so they are afraid of death, and they are afraid that you, the person who is the leader, will collapse." Even you don't have faith, so decadent. Then their lives will be worthless. Do you know why Liu Bei has so many people following him? Because he is not afraid of losing, and if he loses, it is a big deal to transfer the base and start all over again. The leader can be incompetent, but he cannot make the soldiers lose hope. For a better tomorrow, everyone will follow you to fight. The only thing you can give is positive energy, not the way you are now. ”

"Big brother......" Xu Ziling watched Kou Zhong being scolded in the back and was a little unbearable. But I think it makes sense. Didn't his two brothers want to join the rebel army in the past, just to overthrow the smoky Sui Dynasty and change to a better future?

Xu Ziling called softly: "Please tell us how to do it, eldest brother!"

Huang Yi looked around and said in a resolute tone: "Reorganize morale and take the lead in winning people!" I think Xiao Zhong knows how to do it. ”

When Kou Zhong heard this, he said happily: "Thank you for your teaching!"

Huang Yi shook his head and said, "There are some things that can't be taught to you in the military book. You need to hone your understanding and hone in failure. Don't be afraid to face failure. I'm afraid that you won't fail in the same place again. Believe in yourself and you can win. Because there are so many good soldiers to help you. ”

Kou Zhong nodded, and jumped onto the wall.

After looking around at the brothers and soldiers in the city, he shouted proudly: "Kou Zhong is here, Du Fuwei, do you dare to fight with me alone!"

His voice spread far away, and even the shouts of thousands of people could not drown it out.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city were frightened by the other side's systematic and organized large-scale attack, and their morale was greatly boosted when they heard the sound, and they shouted in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth. (To be continued.) )
