405: Open fire, open fire! Reap lives!_2

Earl Chu Ye, though rough and unrestrained on the surface and cruel by nature, was extremely cautious in matters of war.

...

The first wave of the army crossing the river numbered a full twenty thousand men.

Every ten soldiers carried a bamboo raft.

The twenty thousand-strong army lined up on the riverbank, just waiting for Earl Chu Ye's command to force the crossing of the Nu River.

Standing above them, Chu Ye saw the feverish expressions on the faces of the soldiers about to cross; their morale soared. Everyone awaited their chance to enter Tianshui City and plunder and kill, for everyone knew of Solon of Tianshui City's wealth.

Earl Chu Ye suddenly drew his war sword, and roared hoarsely, "Once we enter Tianshui City, do not sheathe your swords, do not close your pants!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" Countless soldiers boiling with hot blood shouted out loud.

"Cross the river in the morning, and by tomorrow dawn, we'll sleep with Solon's women!" Chu Ye laughed.
