Chapter 2529 fake imperial edict
The way out of the city and escaped was blocked, and Huo Yi no longer had the entanglement of escape and guarding. Now he could only do his best to do a defensive task and try his best to guard Wei County.
Of course, difficulties exist. After all, the Wei army has already broken through the outer city of Wei County once. Now that the Wei army has made a comeback, the possibility of breaking through the outer city of Wei County is almost 100%.
As for the inner city of Wei County, it is not that the Shu army has a strong defense ability, but that the Wei army voluntarily gave up the attack because it was attacked by the barbarians. Therefore, the inner city of Wei County has not been tested by war. Whether it can withstand the Wei army's attack is obviously an unknown number.
But no matter what, Huo Yi must do his best. Now he has no way out. He can only defend Wei County to the death. Being able to defend is to perform his duties, and being unable to defend is to be loyal to the country.
Huo Yi's loyalty to Shu Kingdom is incomparable to ordinary people. In his dictionary, there is no word surrender. He would rather die than surrender.
Even if Huo Yi is in a desperate situation now, as long as he is willing to surrender, he will not only save his life, but also remain at the position of 2,000 stones. After all, the Wei State is famous for treating prisoners. As long as Huo Yi surrenders in the city, the preferential treatment he receives will definitely not be bad.
But Huo Yi had no intention of surrender at all. Even if he was really at the moment of life and death, his sincere heart to Shu Kingdom and Liu Chan had not changed at all. The city was there, and the city was dead.
Huo Yi came to guard Wei County with his determination to die, but the Shu soldiers under his command may not have the same thoughts. Since the news of the defeat of the barbarians, the morale of the Shu army has obviously declined, and many people are considering their future and destiny. After all, ordinary soldiers in the Shu army account for the majority. They eat food and serve as soldiers, and at most they just make a living. If they take advantage of their own wealth and life for this, it seems to be a bit worth it.
Therefore, it is not surprising that people's hearts and morale are sluggish in the Shu army in Weixian County. Of course, Huo Yi would not allow this phenomenon to occur. Weixian's defense capabilities have been severely weakened now. If there is another unstable situation in the military morale at this time, it would be a worse situation.
If Huo Yi uses suppression methods to deal with it at this time, the consequences will only be even worse. After all, Huo Yi cannot clean up all the timid and two-minded people. The consequences of iron-blooded suppression can only make more people disunited and accelerate the collapse of the morale of the army.
However, Huo Yi still has a way, that is, to make up lies. Anyway, this is also the method Huo Yi is best at. He forged an imperial edict and publicly promoted it to the defenders of Wei County. The court rewarded the Shu army soldiers who were standing in Wei County. Everyone, as long as they were soldiers who participated in the city defense battle, would be promoted to the first level and be given a first-class salary. At the same time, the court had sent reinforcements, and it would only take half a month to arrive in Wei County at the latest. I hope that the defenders of Wei County could work together, unite and hold on to Wei County for half a month.
Once the imperial edict was read out, the Shu army was very excited and excited. It was good news to be promoted to a higher position, but the imperial court could send reinforcements to save them from water and fire. As long as reinforcements could come, their lives would be guaranteed.
As for sticking to it for half a month, as long as the defenders can unite and unite, there will definitely be no problem.
Huo Yi's method was indeed effective, and it suddenly boosted the morale of the Shu army. In this half month, the biggest expectation of the Shu army.
Of course, only Huo Yi knew where there were reinforcements. This imperial edict was just made up by him. Now the barbarian army has no help, and the reinforcements from the court cannot be counted on, so everything depends on himself.
Huo Yi climbed up the city tower and saw the Wei cavalry running vaguely outside the city. He knew that he had stood on the edge of the cliff. One step further would be torn to pieces, but he had no choice, and he was unwilling to make any choice. Walking one way to the end was Huo Yi's most firm belief.

Yang Hu led the army to walk slowly for a few days, and finally arrived at the city of Wei County.
The city walls of Wei County have been renovated, but the traces left by the last battle remain.
The Shu army also cleaned the moat, but due to the hasty time, the project to clean the moat was relatively large, so the Shu army only cleaned some of the shallow sandbags, and the sandbags at a deeper position could not be cleaned at all.
However, for the Wei army, the second attack on Wei County was no longer as hard as the last time. All 100 catapults transported from Jiaozhou were in place. They will play the role of the main force in siege, saving time and effort, and at the same time greatly reduce casualties of the siege troops.
Meng Li was eager to take revenge. After just arrived at Wei County, he immediately took the initiative to ask Yang Hu for battle and asked to lead his troops to attack Wei County.
The tribal chiefs who had been harmed by Huo Yi were also very enthusiastic, all competing to take revenge and came to ask for war very actively. The morale of the barbarian army is now very high and they are all a little impatient.
Yang Hu did not agree immediately. Anyway, Huo Yi is now a bird in a cage and a turtle in a jar. No matter how hard he struggles to resist, he will never escape the fate of destruction.
Moreover, Yang Hu also gave up the idea of surrendering Huo Yi. Not to mention whether Huo Yi can surrender, it is impossible for the barbarians to agree that the blood debt needs blood to be paid, and of course Huo Yi's own sins have to bear the evil he himself.
In order to appease the barbarians, Yang Hu would refuse even if Huo Yi had the intention to surrender. In addition to dispatching a catapult to the city, the Wei army would hand over the rest of the matter to Meng Li's barbarians to deal with this time.
Huo Yi's life and death are already for sure. Even the Daluo God came, it would not be able to save him.
Meng Li and the chiefs were eager to fight, but Yang Hu didn't know anything. He immediately ordered the Wei army to sacrifice 100 catapults and directly lined up under Wei County to launch a catapult attack on Wei County, first destroying the city walls of Wei County and clearing obstacles for the barbarian army's attack.
This was the first time that the barbarian generals such as Meng Li saw a catapult cart, and they were all very surprised. Yang Hu ordered the catapult cart to attack, but saw rocks flying everywhere, and the city walls of Wei County were shaking. The scene opened the eyes of the barbarian army.
