What made Li Ziyu even more unexpected was that not only did the enemy launch an all-out attack an hour later, but some of his own men actually escaped privately and surrendered to the enemy.
This situation is very serious and is very detrimental to the defense of Pingjiang City.
"Brothers, I, Li Ziyu, have been in the army for many years and have never encountered the predicament I am in today. The enemy is several times larger than mine and is coming with menacing force. I am afraid that Pingjiang City will be lost and trapped tonight. This is Shi Ziyu's great hatred. However, The situation is like this, and Ziyu has no plan. Therefore, Ziyu will definitely kill himself, but he doesn't want to implicate all brothers. Just say one thing, everyone who can leave, let them go!"
Looking at the large group of enemy troops that had been assembled and slowly advancing, Li Ziyu was determined to die. However, he saw many of his subordinates trembling on the side, and he couldn't help but feel pity.
"I do not go!"
"I'm not leaving either!"
…
The first to respond were the soldiers who would resolutely fight him to the end.
"General Li, I'm sorry, I, my mother is here at home. If I die, who can take care of her until she dies?"
Next, those who were already trembling and shaken in will shamelessly stated their reasons.
"Let's go, let's go..."
Li Ziyu smiled faintly.
At this juncture, for him, staying or leaving seems to be the normal state of human nature. Those who wanted to stay, he no longer persuaded them to leave, but those who wanted to leave, he hugged them with a smile. If a tree falls and the hozens are scattered, how much less the humans?
Those who were willing to stay showed disdain, and some even spat at those who fled.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, everyone who had to leave was gone. The soldiers at the south gate of Pingjiang City were half gone with a roar.
"Brothers, listen to my order. The enemy will definitely try to suppress us with strong bows and spears. The big guys should stay close to the crenellations, be careful to avoid them, and wait for the opportunity to throw stones, logs, and anything else they can throw down the city. I don’t believe that we can’t kill a few of them! If the enemy is about to board the city, just use the knife to chop or the spear to stab. We will always be condescending and treat one as ten, that’s easy!”
After saying that, Li Ziyu cocked his gun and stepped on the battlement.
Sure enough, as he expected, in the dim light, rows of archers were lined up, marching forward, trying to choose a suitable distance to shoot at the city head.
This was a headache for him. His archers were severely damaged and had insufficient arrow stocks. Although they occupied a high position, they were unable to shoot against the enemy.
Therefore, he could only endure it for now. However, if you don't shoot me to death, I will bite you no matter what.
Whoosh...
Not long after, the sound of intensive bows and slaves resounded through the night sky.
Then, the Changsha soldiers who were attacking the city swarmed towards the city gate according to their respective division of labor.
Boom, boom...
A huge crash sounded quickly, shocking the minds of the soldiers. However, this time, they stayed behind voluntarily, with firm eyes, swords and guns clenched, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
Indeed, if I am not even afraid of death, no matter how loud the voice is, what can it do to me?
Li Ziyu had also calmed down, closed her eyes, and quietly felt the prelude to the coming storm.
The tip of the gun was gently rubbed in his hand.
Tonight, whether it is death or life, it seems that it is not that important at this moment.
What should be gratifying is that the senior brother's body is already on the road. No matter how far away Hengshan was, he believed that his personal guards would be able to send his senior brother home.
By the way, there is also the dagger, the dagger with the murderer's mark. After the master looks at it, everything will become clear. If he was lucky enough to successfully defend the city and survive, no matter what, he would have to bear his share of the blame.
So, rest in peace, brother!
