Qin Feng stood on the city wall and looked at the approaching Zhang Lu's army.
If nothing unexpected happened.
Qin Feng believed that Zhang Lu would definitely use a siege strategy.
Then, Zhang Lu would leave a path of escape for the city guards to weaken their will to fight.
This was also a common tactic in siege warfare.
After all, if you surrounded the city, the people in the city would feel that they were going to die anyway, so they would fight to the death.
From what he heard, it seemed that Su Gu was quite considerate of Liu Bei.
He defended two gates while Liu Bei only had one.
However, when Qin Feng saw the battle formation of Zhang Lu's army outside the city, he was shocked.
He finally understood that they had been tricked by Su Gu.
The west gate was Zhang Lu's main attack direction, while the other two gates were feints.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng gritted his teeth in hatred towards Su Gu. At the same time, he blamed himself for not thinking of this.
"Sigh, I still lack battle experience.”
Qin Feng said angrily in his heart.
"Boyuan, don't be upset. Actually, Brother Zhongcheng is right. Who asked our army to be more elite?”
The good old man, Liu Bei, once again displayed the spirit of Ah Q and comforted Qin Feng.
"Duke Xuande, you stay here and watch. I'll go check on Yi De's arrangements.”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes and ignored him.
After Zhang Lu's army arrived at the city.
Since both sides had been fighting for more than a month, they had said all the nonsense that needed to be said. There was nothing much to say now.
Zhang Lu also knew that Su Gu would not surrender.
Thus, after Zhang Lu's army reorganized themselves, they began to attack.
"Dong dong dong…"
A low war drum sounded.
This was a signal that the enemy was about to attack the city.
"Kill…kill…kill…"
After three rounds of drumbeats, about a thousand Ba Shu soldiers shouted slogans and began to charge towards the west gate of Southern Zheng City like a tide.
Qin Feng looked up and found that there weren't many enemies at the north and south gates.
Most of the enemies who were attacking the city had gathered at the west gate that they were guarding.
"They're here. Beat the drums and fight."
Liu Bei's face instantly lit up with fighting spirit as he shouted.
"Dong dong dong…"
On the city wall, muscular drummers began to beat the drums.
In an instant, the rumbling of drums shook the sky.
With Liu Bei's order, the 4,000 soldiers on the city walls began to prepare for battle.
Facing the surging enemy army below the city, there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they all had eager expressions.
He walked from Luoyang to Hanzhong and trained for half a year in Nanjiang.
These veterans had not fought for nearly half a year.
No battles meant no rewards, and no battles meant no military merits.
The veterans were eager for these two things.
This was because they needed to earn money to support their families, and more importantly, they needed to bring honor to their ancestors.
Under Qin Feng's suggestion, Liu Bei's army had already set up a strict and fair promotion, reward and punishment system.
As long as you contributed, even if you only killed an enemy and obtained a weapon, there would be a corresponding reward.
Without credit, even if you were Liu Bei's relative, you would not be able to do so.
"Wen Xuan, you will command the city defense. I will go and kill the enemies.”
Liu Bei pulled out his sword and said with a fighting spirit.
"Lord Xuande, you can't!"
Qin Feng pulled Liu Bei back and said seriously,""You stand here and let the soldiers see you. This is your greatest use. It's much better than you killing eight or ten enemies.”
"This…"
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and nodded helplessly,""Alright then, but if I don't go, you can't go either. We'll both stand here and cheer for the soldiers.”
Liu Bei's temper was really good at this point. He was more willing to listen to his subordinates 'opinions.
Qin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction and stood beside Liu Bei.
Generals were the soldiers 'courage. With the two of them standing here, the soldiers had their backbone.
"Duke Xuande, it's time."
Suddenly, Qin Feng reminded Liu Bei.
"Yes!"
Liu Bei nodded and stood on the steps of the city gate tower.
"Soldiers, we came all the way to Hanzhong to settle down in this land. Now, Zhang Lu wants to chase us out.”
Liu Bei's voice echoed on the city gate tower.
"I'm not willing…"
"I'm not willing…"
All the soldiers shouted in response.
"Alright, since everyone is unwilling, then let's defend South Zheng City together.”
Liu Bei nodded and continued,""I, Liu Bei, hereby swear that as long as we defeat Zhang Lu and gain a foothold in Hanzhong, you can bring your entire family over.
If you don't have land, I, Liu Bei, will give you land.
If you don't have a house, I, Liu Bei, will build a house for you.”
"Defeat Zhang Lu and defend Southern Zheng City!”
Zhang Fei, who had already received Qin Feng's orders, immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Defeat Zhang Lu and defend Southern Zheng City!”
The other generals also followed suit.
"Defeat Zhang Lu and defend Southern Zheng City!”
"Defeat Zhang Lu and defend Southern Zheng City!”
“…………”
With Zhang Fei's loud voice leading the way, the 4,000 soldiers immediately began to shout.
In a few breaths, the battle intent on the city tower, which was originally a little dull, instantly soared several times.
This was the herd effect!
As long as one person followed, the rest of the people, regardless of whether they were willing or not, would be affected.
Under the city, with the sound of the bugle horn, the densely packed Ba Shu soldiers carried hundreds of human ladders and swarmed over.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"
When the soldiers of Ba Shu were about a hundred steps away from the city wall, a rain of arrows shot out from Zhang Lu's central position.
"Defense…"
Liu Bei raised his sword and shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The arrow turned into a black cloud and smashed down fiercely at South Zheng City.
In an instant, dozens of Liu Bei's soldiers who could not dodge in time were shot.
However, from the beginning to the end, no one let out a miserable howl. They either died silently or gritted their teeth and endured silently.
