Liu Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "You lost the last chance to withdraw part of the army. Since the demon thieves can dispatch thousands of immortal monsters to seize the high ground on both wings, how can they not be prepared for the central front?
Our advantage is that we have large shields and heavy armor, and we defend in formation. If we take the initiative to attack, the demon thieves can use long-range weapons and wooden armor mechanisms to kill us. When our front line shakes and we suffer heavy casualties, their swordsmen Then you can break in through the gaps in the formation and start killing people!"
Liu Yi shook his head blankly and said: "Yes, just like what you said, I was red-eyed at the time and desperately wanted to overthrow the demon thief's handsome flag. Judging from our previous battles, this kind of middle road It is difficult for the enemy to stop the sudden advance, and even the battle against Huan Xuan was won in this way.
Liu Yu said coldly: "Huan Xuan was afraid of death and ran away before fighting, so his men were defeated at the first touch. However, the demon thieves on the opposite side, especially Xu Daofu, were ruthless and would rather die fighting than retreat. We After playing against them for so long, you shouldn't make such a mistake.
Liu Yi sighed: "I admit that I lost my mind because of my sharpness. I just wanted to compete with you and cannot lose to you. If I retreat in this battle, there will be nothing. Until later, after the defeat, I have been on the run these days. On the way, I thought of these things, and I finally understood why Wuji died on the ship despite being able to retreat on his own. His mentality at the time should be the same as mine.
"Wu Liuyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he murmured: Ji, Wuji, you are really confused. They are all brothers. How can we compare? Just for the sake of being unwilling to lag behind, I gave up my life. Compensation, is it worth it?
It’s not that we haven’t lost before, it’s not that we haven’t retreated before. We come back to fight again, but if you die, how can I see you again and take revenge with me?
At this point, Liu Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice began to choke. Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "At the last moment, when my men were divided and surrounded by the enemy, they shot from a long distance like a target. Kill, when they were bitten and torn apart by those terrifying immortal monsters like sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and then fell down one by one, and then stood up again and turned into new monsters, my heart broke. I even drew my sword and wanted to kill myself. If Yang Sui hadn't desperately stopped me and advised me to put the overall situation first and evacuate first, I was afraid that you and I would never be able to see each other again.
"Liu Yu wiped his eyes and forced out a smile: Okay, God bless us, we meet again. This way we passed through the Dabie Mountains. There are many Shiqiang tribes there, and they have long been the home of thieves and horse bandits. But It’s hard on you.
Liu Yi nodded: "When I broke through, there were only less than a hundred brothers around me. We didn't dare to wear the Jin army's armor. When we evacuated the battlefield, we abandoned all our armor and weapons except for our weapons. We walked into the mountains all the way. We even dressed up as clan members and got through the pass. We also fought and killed many stragglers along the way. After our army was defeated, bandits and bandits from all walks of life set out one after another. Some joined the demon bandits, and some took the opportunity to occupy the mountain and become kings. , robbed pedestrians and people nearby. After half a month, most of our brothers were killed in the battle, and there were less than twenty people who came back with me.
Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a look of confusion: "It's all my fault that I didn't bring the army back to join you earlier. If our brothers had joined forces, it wouldn't be like this. But you can come back alive, which is a blessing among misfortunes. Next, Let's work together to survive this crisis, just like we did before.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "I am a defeated general. It can be said that if I hadn't been greedy for power and rushed forward, leading to a great defeat, the entire Yuzhou would not have been lost, and the demon thieves would not have marched into Jiankang. Since you have military laws After dealing with Wei Shunzhi, why should you let me go?
Liu Yu shook his head: "I just said that Shunzi abandoned his friendly troops and fled without fighting, which is different from your situation. And Mu, after all, you are the general of Beifu. If I deal with you with military law at this time, others will Saying that I took the opportunity to kill my colleagues and want to monopolize power will lose the morale of the military and the people. At least the thousands of your subordinates in Jiankang City will no longer be loyal to the Jin Dynasty.
Liu Yi nodded excitedly: "Jinu, I really want to thank you. Thank you for giving me another chance to lead my troops for revenge. I have been running this underground industry in Jiankang City for dozens of years. Years, thousands of subordinates, men, women, old and young
Yes, they may not be able to go into battle to kill thieves, but they can definitely play their role in defending the city. I will organize the men who can fight into troops, and I will also organize the old, weak, women and children who cannot fight. Let them deliver information, build fortifications to save lives and heal the wounded, deliver soups and medicines, and boil water for cooking. We will never let this power be lost in vain.
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, as long as you are willing to contribute, Xile, then I will get thousands, no, it should be said to be tens of thousands of elite soldiers out of thin air. I will personally allocate them to you for the military supplies and armor you need. The two large granaries in the south of the city, as well as the arsenal in the direction of Stone City in the south of the city, are all yours to use, and there is no need to report to me.
Liu Yi's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief: "Isn't it Huaiyu who is defending the Stone City in the south of the city? Those granaries and arsenals should belong to Huaiyu.
Liu Yu said seriously: "After all, Huaiyu came from a foreign army and is not familiar with the terrain of Jiankang. Although you don't have as many troops as his, you can defend the southern part of the city. I am more assured that Huaiyu's troops have already led the army." If you have lost ordnance and food, no new supplies will be needed within two months, and the remaining granaries and arsenals are completely distributed by you, including your subordinates. If you can recruit new warriors in Jiankang City, you can also Arm them directly and organize them into an army without being limited by army numbers!
Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Ji Nu, I am very grateful that you don't punish me, but now you directly give me such great power, I can't believe it.
Liu Yuya said quietly: "Because I know that you have the ability to inspire people, especially the family members and servants to defect to you. My subordinates will be rewarded with military merits and cannot be robbed. At this time, if I need to recruit someone willing to Those who sacrifice their lives in times of national calamity may find it difficult to win by adhering to ordinary legal principles. Therefore, I allow you to form an army and fight according to your rules. The spoils after victory are also completely distributed by you. You can do whatever you want. The only condition I want to do is to guard this damn southern area of the city, Stone City and the mouth of the Qinhuai River!"
