Seeing this, the soldiers of Liucheng were even more motivated and pursued the enemy for a while until the "enemy" disappeared from sight.
"We won!" someone shouted first.
Immediately afterwards, deafening cheers resounded through the sky.
The soldiers patted each other on the shoulder, their faces beaming with ecstasy.
They raised their weapons high and jumped excitedly, their atmosphere affecting everyone present.
The people on the city wall were also in an uproar.
They watched as the menacing "Peacock Kingdom soldiers" were driven away, and they were all moved to tears.
"General Jiang is mighty!"
"The female general is mighty!"
…
As night falls, every household in Liucheng is brightly lit.
People spontaneously brought out food from their homes and set it up on the streets and alleys.
The soldiers sat together, eating meat and drinking wine heartily, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.
Children frolic and play among the crowd, their laughter filling the air.
"Hey, you mean this General Jiang is the one who recently repelled the Peacock Kingdom?" an old man asked slowly, puffing on his pipe.
“That’s right!” A middle-aged woman next to her slapped her thigh suddenly. “I was on the city wall at the time, and I saw with my own eyes her leading our people to beat those Peacock Kingdom people to a pulp!”
"I knew it! There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world!" another man said indignantly, taking a swig of his drink. "So our savior is none other than General Jiang!"
"That despicable Jiang Yaoming! He actually lied to us!" Someone angrily smashed the bowl in their hand on the ground.
"We thought he was so capable, but he turns out to be a complete coward!"
"That's right! They stole all of General Jiang's credit and even framed her for treason!"
"Pah! People like that deserve to be torn to pieces!"
The people talked amongst themselves, growing increasingly angry.
They then realized that they had been blinded by Jiang Yaoming all along.
The true heroes have always been among them, only obscured by petty people.
Inside the general's mansion, Yu Luo sat in the main seat, listening to the cheers coming from outside, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Several figures walked in silently. Most of these people who had previously played the role of "Peacock Kingdom soldiers" were female soldiers she had trained during this period.
They had already taken off their clothes, revealing their original attire, and their faces showed a mixture of excitement and exhaustion.
"General, the mission is complete!" The leading woman clasped her hands in salute, her voice booming.
"You did a very good job." Yu Luo nodded approvingly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "You acted very realistically, almost indistinguishable from the real thing."
Upon hearing this, the women all wore expressions of pride.
“From now on,” Yu Luo stood up, his gaze sweeping over every woman present, “you will all go into Liucheng, where I will personally train the female soldiers!”
Her voice was firm.
"Starting today, we're going to surround Liucheng like an iron barrel! Anyone who comes across will die!"
The women present were shocked.
The next day, notices recruiting female soldiers were posted throughout Liucheng.
The announcement caused an uproar throughout Liucheng.
"What? Recruiting female soldiers?"
"Nonsense! How can women go to the battlefield to fight? This is unheard of!"
"Exactly! I think this female general is no good at all. I thought she was so capable, but it turns out she came up with such a terrible idea!"
"Women should stay at home, take care of their husbands and children. What kind of behavior is it to be wielding swords and spears!"
The people were talking about it, their faces full of disbelief, and most of them looked contemptuous.
However, when they saw the recruitment site, everyone was stunned.
On the drill ground, rows of boxes gleaming with gold were neatly arranged.
Inside the box, gold and silver jewels were piled up like mountains, gleaming in the sunlight.
"Every woman who signs up for the army will receive ten taels of silver!"
"Outstanding performers will receive additional monthly bonuses!"
"If you are promoted to general, you will be given fertile land and a mansion!"
The recruiting soldiers read the announcements aloud, and with each sentence, the people's breathing quickened.
"Is this true?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"Ten taels of silver! My God, that's enough for a family to live on for several years!"
"Don't anyone stop me! My daughter is strong, let her go!" An old woman's eyes were red as she pushed aside the people around her, wishing she could rush over with her daughter.
"Women can do it too! Women can also go to the battlefield and fight the enemy!"
"Quick! Let me through now! If I'm any later, there might not be any spots left!"
The people who had just been disdainful were now scrambling to get on board, afraid of missing out on this incredible opportunity.
Looking at the chaotic yet vibrant scene before him, Yu Luo smiled with satisfaction.
The female soldiers standing nearby were also stunned.
"General, you're amazing!" a woman exclaimed. "Those people were just cursing us, but now that we've brought these things out, they've all pounced on us!"
Yu Luo smiled faintly, her eyes clear.
"So, it's still a matter of insufficient funding and inadequate benefits," she said softly. "With better treatment, women can also form an iron-blooded female army."
She didn't care about the money at all.
Most of these gold and silver treasures were money that Jiang Yaoming had amassed over an unknown period of time.
Instead of wasting time on useless people like Jiang Yaoming, we should use our talents wisely.
The female soldiers who had been following Yu Luo watched this scene with eyes full of admiration.
