Chapter 73 The Great War Begins

For a country like Tus, the 200,000 army is almost a war-capable army for a country.

And the 200,000 army entered the wind to fight, which was not like Rude who led his 50,000 troops. In just a few days, he marched to the city of Wuguan.

It took a long time to draw and gather from the towns in Tuss. When Bris commanded the army arrived at the border of Fengguo, it was a few days after Lu Chen received the news.

At this time, Lu Chen and the generals in the army were standing in the center of the city wall of Wuguan, raising their eyes and looking at them.

Two hundred thousand barbarians were at the city, and their lineup and magnificent scale could only be described as overwhelming and boundless.

When the barbarian army did not come, people still felt that nothing was wrong, and no one had that kind of fear.

But when I saw countless heads outside the city, the powerful lineup that was full of people was almost instantly trampled on everyone's confidence.

Many of the Feng Army soldiers on the city walls were recruits who had not experienced a war. When did people have seen such a terrible scene? Although they were still standing there, many recruits' calves began to tremble, and their faces under their helmets were slowly oozing out cold sweat.

Not to mention the soldiers below, even the generals of the army around Lu Chen, who were looking at the barbarians outside the city at this moment, subconsciously swallowing saliva, holding the knife handle around his waist, the palms in his palms were covered in sweat.

He clearly felt the nervousness of everyone, and Lu Chen's back was cold. If we talk about his knowledge, he was more frugal than any general present! It can be said that this was the first time in his life that he truly witnessed the ancient battlefield.

The 200,000 army is so huge!

But Lu Chen knew better than anyone else that anyone on his side could show fear, but he could not!

Even if there were ten thousand voices in his heart urging him to escape quickly!

But he knew that he could not run away. When he turned around, he died not only the 50,000 border soldiers, but also the countless people behind him.

He knew very well that his performance was too important at this moment. Even if he showed a hint of panic, it would definitely affect the entire battle situation in the future!

He slowly closed his eyes, then took a deep breath. After a moment, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, turned back, and faced the thousands of soldiers in the city wall, and asked loudly: "Tell me, are you afraid?"

His voice was extremely loud, and he was carrying a slight Douyin because of his uncontrollable tension.

"Fear!" the soldiers replied in unison with pale faces.

Lu Chen was not surprised at all about this answer. He did not say much, but continued to shout:

"Tell you the truth! I am afraid too! Because fear is a human instinctive reaction! When facing so many enemies, everyone will be afraid!"

"But! I understand better! Even if I am afraid, I must not take a step back! Because behind us is our home! Our parents and relatives! We need us to protect us! If we take a step back, we will let the barbarians enter the pass! The land behind us that raised us will suffer a catastrophe! Our old parents will be slaughtered by the barbarians! Our wives and children will be snatched back by the barbarians like prey and act as slaves! Being bullied and trampled!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looking at the young faces in front of him. Although the faces of the people were still extremely pale, and the sweat beads on their faces were still rolling down, their trembling bodies were at some point, and their trembling bodies were already holding their heads up and their chests stood up straight, and the expressions in their eyes gradually became firmer!

Lu Chen knew that as the highest commander of the border town, his motivation had undoubtedly had a great inspiration effect, and the spirit of the Feng army soldiers had obviously undergone qualitative changes.

But this is obviously not enough!

As a modern person, Lu Chen knew very well that in the battlefield of cold weapons in ancient times, there were too many examples of winning with less and winning with more! And morale! It is often the key to determining the outcome!

If there is such a power, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu!

The current Fengjun soldiers have the courage and determination to fight! But they still lack the fighting spirit of burning their boats!

He must let his soldiers understand that in today's battle, his side has no way out! Either the barbarian soldiers attack the city wall, and he and his wife, children and the elderly die! Or they will kill the barbarian enemy and protect their homeland!

The strong wind suddenly raged, blew the red tassels on the helmets of the soldiers. On the flags inserted on the city wall, there was a big word "Lu" written on it, fluttering in the wind, making a sound.

Lu Chen suddenly became less nervous. He turned around, pointed to the barbarian army several miles outside the city, and said loudly:

"Listen to my soldiers with strong winds! Today, the barbarian army is coming! I don't want to say more about those other great principles! But I can tell you brothers! In this battle, I will definitely survive and die with our soldiers! I also swear here! I will not kill the barbarian army! I will never go down to the city wall!"

After he finished his righteous words, all the Feng army soldiers on the city wall showed incredible expressions. People could not believe that Lu Chen was a dignified county magistrate and appointed an official in the court. Even if he hid afterwards, no one would say anything about him. Even if he was defeated, he could still retreat to the county town first, or find a safe place for himself...

The soldiers are all locals, and their relatives are all in the border town, but Lu Chen, the county guard, does not have to take risks in person, and even if he doesn't come to the front line, it is normal.

So many enemies... sir... do you want to stand here with us to defend the city and kill the enemy...

Although most of the generals in the army knew about Lu Chen's decision, the soldiers below were not aware of it.

Everyone was shocked.

However, Lu Chen ignored the shock of the soldiers, but suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed directly at the overwhelming barbarian army outside the city, shouting:

"The army obeys the order! Take the official as the boundary! When the war begins, if someone dares to fear the enemy, or retreats behind the official, he will be killed without mercy!"

"If this official is afraid of the enemy, or flee from the front line privately, he will also deal with it with military law!"

The county guards are so close to the front line of the battlefield and have established military laws with their own strengths. They are brave and fearless and live and die with the soldiers below. How can such a commander not touch people and not let morale be greatly boosted!

As Lu Chen Jianfeng was facing, Feng Jun soldiers, without any organization, couldn't help but raise the weapons in their hands together, and burst into uniform shouts:

"Wind! Wind! Strong wind-"

The inspiring shouts resounded through the sky...

At the same time, the barbarian commander Bris finally issued an order to attack.

In an instant, the overwhelming barbarian soldiers rushed towards Wuguan like 200,000 wild beasts running together.

On the plains under the city wall, dust was flying, and yellow sand was rolled up in the sky... (To be continued)
