We were in a difficult situation, and it was important to lift our morale, especially in the face of unsolicited provocation. Then let a person call Li Yunna come over.
After standing at the wall and staring out for a while, she said unhappily, "Oba, why did you send me up to look at this?"
I said, "Have you forgotten the job I assigned you?"
Li Yunna thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "What position?"
"It's a job that specializes in recreational activities." I demanded, "You can see how demoralized we are. You pick up ten or twenty girls who can sing and dance, and lead them through some simple songs and dances. And then perform for everyone."
"Does it work? We have no meat or wine to bring out." Li Yuna made a swallowing motion.
"Of course it does. Just do what I tell you and leave the rest alone." I said, Do it like you girls do in Koryo, and make it fun for me.
Li Yuna thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.
After she had left, I sent word that there would be surprises tonight, so that the defenders of the city would have something to look forward to.
At eight or nine o 'clock in the evening, Li Yunna took more than ten girls dressed beautiful finally appeared on the city wall, all wearing bright colors, sexy clothes.
They were young girls in their teens and 20s, and they made a lot of people's eyes straight as soon as they walked up.
I told Nath to send for half the men from our side of the wall and half from the other into the canopy. Make room for Li Yuna and them.
"Chief, what is this for?" A native sitting nearby asked, "I see my sister in there."
"Look at the show. Your sister is good. She got in."
He oohed and nodded.
Li Yunna went to the center, open a white, let four indigenous girls dance, she actually sang a song of indigenous people. And then there were the other girls. A dozen people performed half a dozen songs and dances. Make everybody applause again and again.
Finally Li Yunna came up, bowed and said: "That's all for today, thank you."
"Just a few more, please."
"Yuna, sing another song, you sing so well."
"Yes, a few more."
Li Yunna very helplessly looked at me, I went up to greet: "today here, they also go to another several walls to do other brothers show."
No more objections were raised.
When Li Yunna and them went to the next canopy, I personally saw them off.
"Tired?"
Li Yunna smiled and shook her head. "It's ok, but I will be very tired after several performances. But never mind, it's time FOR me to do something for the horde."
"Hard work."
"All right." Li Yunna gave me a push: "Oba, you have been working hard for everyone recently. You don't have to be polite with me."
I smiled. After sending them to another awning, he turned and went back to his post.
The water has been rising, the tunnel in the day and night construction, Li Yunna they also in several sides of the wall around. All this kept me awake. The rain eased up a lot after midnight. I walked about here and there, and then went back to lie down under the canopy.
At dawn, he woke up to find that the water outside had reached more than half of the inner wall, or more than a meter. The inner walls are no better. Because the place is small, the water is higher than outside. Except for the houses and a few meters, the rest of the tribe was completely submerged.
When I reached the south-eastern wall, I saw the mud piled up at the entrance of the tunnel, like a lonely crater surrounded by the sea. When they return to the wall to eat, the water is up to their waists, and the lower ones are only exposed above their chests.
When Li Ding came back, I hurried up and asked, "Can we dig through today?"
"I don't know." Li Ding shook her head and said, "We met some big rocks in the middle and made a detour, but it's very deep. Even if we can't dig today, we will be able to dig through tomorrow morning.When I came over, I noticed that the water from the outside had gone in through the hole in the inner wall."
"Did you all have a rest last night?"
"Break, we change shifts." Li Ding took over the rice bowl handed over by a woman, with her head down and began to eat.
I tapped him on the shoulder. "Come on, brother. When the Island of Brass is taken back, you choose a woman and the horde will pay for a great wedding."
Li Ding put her hand down and swallowed the food in her mouth. Her eyes were red and she said, "Brother Fei, I don't want to find another woman. With Eerie gone, I don't have much to hope for."
And with that he burst into tears. I realized I had promised, told him to eat more, and got up and walked away.
The rain waxes and wanes, as does the wind. The water in the horde and between the inner and outer walls is rising as fast as the naked eye can see. In the afternoon, the water inside and outside the wall was almost equal, only a foot from the top of the wall. The Allies on the outer wall, increasingly aggressive, day and night to celebrate.
They staged the celebration partly because they thought they were on the verge of victory, and partly because they wanted to show us. We saw that they were well supplied and not affected by the typhoon. There's no way they're going to leave. This can do a lot of damage to our morale.
For a long time, MY mind is not calm down. Get some more alpacas killed so everyone in the tribe can have a good meal. Say nothing to let the water invade the horde, let the enemy's small plan two defeated.
At dinner, I saw some people crying while eating meat. Probably they were in despair. They thought we were going to die.
I think a lot of them would have wanted to go out and surrender if we hadn't kept a tight watch on them and another allied force was so oppressive.
I told myself, the more this time, the more I want to steady. If I fail, there will be no hope for the tribe.
After dinner, Li Yunna took the girls to perform, and everyone was absent-minded. I told them to take it back.
When I got to the wall, I could reach out and touch the water.
"Let's fight them, chief. Better die in battle than drown."
"Yes, chief. Let's do it."
I turned around and saw that everyone had gathered, all looking sad and angry.
"Fight them and take back The island of Cuckoo." One man suddenly shouted a slogan, and the others joined in.
NAT called out, but no one answered.
"Brothers, brothers." "I shouted. When they had all quieted down I said, "Let's cheer up. The tunnel will soon be opened and the flood hasn't spread yet. We still have time. Once the floodwaters poured out, the coalition plot failed. When the time comes, I will lead the others to drive them away."
"The chief is right. We shall take back not only The Island of Cuckoo, but also the Island of Brass." NAT hastened to follow suit.
"It's not just these two islands." I raised my voice. "I will take you to the five kingdoms, and we will have no more gold, silver, and food. And as long as we stay the course, I promise you, it will happen."
After a moment of silence, Nath led the cry: "We are all under the command of the leader."
The others followed in unison.
It was a long time before it stopped. I beckoned them back to their posts. I went back to the awning to calm myself.
Every once in a while, I went outside to check the water level and sent a man to inquire about the progress of the tunnel. The water continued to rise, but there was still no opening in the tunnel.
When the water began to pour over the wall from both inside and outside, my spirit was on the verge of breaking down. Everyone else looked upset, too.
In desperation, I had to ride my own alpaca around to tell everyone that the tunnel had been opened and the water would slowly disappear. Let's not have any worries. Even if the water on the wall equalled that on the outside it would only be temporary.
After cooking place, I saw Li Wanxue is taking people to pile up bricks, the reserve of food toward each other. I jumped off the sheep hump, went up to her: "don't busy."
