However, hundreds of thousands of Liu Bang's rebel soldiers were sharpening their weapons in front of Wu Pass!
Because of Fan Ai City's casualties, the defending army of Wu Pass had less than 30,000 people left.
There were hungry wolves in front and fierce tigers behind; this was a soul-stirring battle. If they took even half a step wrong, Great Qin would cease to exist!
At this moment, Ying Feng had to unite the entire army and the people of Wu Pass.
Only when they were united could they fight against Liu Bang and protect the country!
"Your Majesty, after hearing the news of Danshui City being massacred, the people of Wu Pass gnashed their teeth in hatred. Now, they have even volunteered to join the army to fight against the rebels.”
"From 60-year-old elders to 7-year-old children, all of them are wearing armor and sabers, vowing to live and die with Great Qin!”
"Order the people in the pass to build as many defensive weapons as possible. We must ensure that the rebel army will be unable to move an inch under Wu Pass!”
Ying Feng had expected the armored appearance of the commoners.
Wu Pass was made up of people from Old Qin. They had come from Longxi in the past. The people of Old Qin fought to the death. This was the foundation of Qin's hegemony.
Today, the eight hundred miles of fertile land in Guanzhong was the foundation that the old Qin people had managed for hundreds of years.
How could they bear to watch Great Qin be destroyed like this?
The Old Qin people were the last of the Great Qin Empire's reserves, and they were also the true foundation.
This was why Ying Feng had thought of all ways to stir up the bloodlust in Old Qin's heart.
"Yes!"
Mai Tiezhang replied.
"The guards in the pass, including the light cavalry, will be under your command. Set up defenses. If there is a need, I can also go!”
"I believe that Liu Bang's rebel army will soon arrive at Wuguan City.”
"The rebel army swore that the first to enter Guanzhong would be the king. Now that Xiang Yu has destroyed everything, Liu Bang won't be able to stand it for long.”
"Martial Pass is the gateway to the pass. Even if you die, you have to guard it!" Ying Feng instructed in a deep voice.”
"Yes!"
" Understood!" Iron Staff replied respectfully and left with a solemn expression.
He had to follow Ying Feng's orders as soon as possible and build the Martial Pass into an impregnable fortress. No matter how many rebel soldiers attacked the city, he would not give them a chance to break through!
Looking at Iron Staff Mai's departing figure, Ying Feng's lips curled into a faint smile. His eyes were filled with confidence.
"Liu Bang, I'm waiting for you to die!"
……
At this moment, Pill Water City was completely silent.
Even if the sun was high up in the sky, it could not change this hell on earth.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. The central city lord's mansion had become Liu Bang's temporary central tent.
The rebel army leaders had gathered in the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting. At this point, they had no other way out.
Breaking the Martial Pass was imperative!
If they continued to delay, the chances of Liu Bang's rebel army taking down Wu Pass would be very slim.
"Pei Gong, according to the reports from the scouts, Xiang Yu's troops have fought fiercely with Zhang Han's army many times.”
"Now that the Qin army is at an absolute disadvantage, they could be defeated by Xiang Yu's Chu army at any time. At that time, they will definitely be able to march straight into Hangu Pass.”
The sudden news made everyone in the City Lord's Mansion fall silent. Liu Bang, who was sitting at the head of the table, couldn't hide his anxiety.
"Zhou Bo, why did you fail to attack Wu Pass last night?”
Facing Liu Bang's cold gaze, Zhou Bo, who had just been tortured by the military rod, could not help but feel fear in his heart.
It wasn't because of Liu Bang's authority, but because he suddenly remembered the ghost-faced cavalrymen in black armor he had faced before.
Wherever he passed, it was as if he had entered an uninhabited land, sweeping away thousands of troops and killing enemies as if he was taking them out of his pocket!
Especially the leading general, Ying Feng.
He was like an Asura that had walked out of hell. Just thinking about it made Zhou Bo unable to help the fear in his heart.
"Pei, Pei Gong, during the battle of Wu Pass yesterday, our army had already successfully broken through the gate, but the Qin army seemed to have set up an ambush in the city.”
"Tens of thousands of fully-armed Qin soldiers rushed out at the first moment and defeated our army. The biggest variable in this is that young general guarding Wu Pass.”
"His battle prowess is astonishing, and he has the courage to fight against ten thousand men. The ten thousand cavalry under his command also possess astonishing battle prowess.”
Fan Kuai, who was beside him, also said,""General Zhou is right. That young general is about sixteen or seventeen years old.”
"He has a 18-foot-long double-edged halberd in his hand and seems to be born with divine strength. In terms of strength, even I, Old Fan, can't compare to him.”
Liu Bang already knew about it, so he was still calm.
However, Xiao He could not help but exclaim in shock.
"How is that possible? General Fan Kuai must be joking!”
"A sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man can actually suppress you in terms of strength!”
They had thought that it was the defending troops of Wu Pass who had put up a desperate resistance and barely managed to stop their own troops.
He never thought that the key reason for the defeat at Wu Pass was because of a sixteen or seventeen year old Qin general!
"Everyone, don't treat Wu Pass as the useless enemies we faced in the past. Not only the Qin army is crazy, even the ordinary people have chosen to fight us to the death!”
"If it wasn't for the fact that our army was blocked by the civilians in the city, even with that Qin general, we would have taken Wu Pass by now!
Zhou Bo's words made everyone suck in a breath of cold air again.
