Chapter 1144

Wei Zhuang looked at the Qin army outside the city. They didn't attack the city, nor did they lure them out of the city.

Then why did they come here?

They even set up camp here and burned fires to eat?

It was the new recruits behind him that surprised Wei Zhuang a bit.

Are these guys really new recruits?

Why is there no fear of war at all, not a trace of fear, and even most of them are extremely eager for war?

This was something Wei Zhuang hadn't expected. In just half a day, it had already happened seven times!

That's right, seven times. Seven different groups of people ran up wanting to leave the city to meet the enemy.

Wei Zhuang didn't understand. They were just new recruits, and the opponent was an elite, a Qin army elite who had gone through countless battles!

Why would they have such confidence to meet the enemy? The gap in equipment was also very large. Leaving the city to meet the enemy would likely only lead to the entire army being wiped out.

Wei Zhuang looked; the opponent was at least thirty thousand strong. They had a mere fifty thousand; how to fight?

Never mind this group of new recruits, even Wei Zhuang himself couldn't guarantee he could kill his way in and out of those thirty thousand-plus Qin troops.

Perhaps his senior brother could?

In the end, Wei Zhuang still calmed down and inquired in the army, and learned the conclusion: they had been stimulated by Qin Mu.

That day, Wei Zhuang vaguely remembered the scene.

Five hundred thousand new recruits, Qin Mu stood in front of them, holding something and speaking.

That thing was round and actually amplified Qin Mu's voice, allowing almost five hundred thousand people to hear it, especially the soldiers standing at the very front 820.

"Soldiers, are you living well in Bashu?"

"Yes!"

"Are your wives, children, and elders living well in Bashu?"

"Yes!"

"If someone wants to destroy all this, do you agree?"

"No!"

"I don't agree either! But there are always people who want to bully the loyal and good. We clearly haven't done anything, yet Great Qin wants to send a large army to wipe us out. Are you willing?"

"Not willing! Not willing!"

"I am not willing either. For our homeland, for our families, for Bashu, fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

The pre-battle mobilization was very successful, and every new recruit had their morale ignited. However, the fifty thousand men Wei Zhuang led.

As luck would have it, they happened to be the batch of people standing at the very front at that time, and they received a stronger influence.

At this moment, their momentum was like a rainbow. Wei Zhuang didn't understand military strategy very well, but he knew this was a good thing.

And if this momentum was only used to guard the city, it would inevitably be a bit of a waste.

But if they left the city to meet the enemy, and if they failed and the city fell, I'm afraid their deaths wouldn't be enough to appease the lord's anger!

And just then, just as Wei Zhuang was struggling with whether to leave the city to meet the enemy, Master Master Zhuge Liang came!

As the military advisor of the Nancheng, he proposed eating early, resting for a while after eating, and attacking when the Qin army outside the city was eating!

"General Wei."

"Sir, just call me Xiao Zhuang." Before Master Master Zhuge Liang could finish speaking, Wei Zhuang interrupted.

He still admired this military advisor very much. It is said that many inventions in Bashu now were created by him.

Especially a weapon called the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!

Although that thing had a very short range, it could fire ten small crossbow bolts at once, and even the reloading speed was very fast!

It could be called a great killer on the battlefield. It's just a pity that the quantity was not large; every army of fifty thousand only had one thousand Zhuge Repeating Crossbows.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be bold and call you Xiao Zhuang.

I think we should eat now, and then you lead one thousand men with Zhuge Repeating Crossbows to go near the Qin army and lie in ambush."

"With Xiao Zhuang's strength, I presume those hidden sentries won't be able to discover you."

"Wait until the Qin army starts eating, Xiao Zhuang can directly lead the thousand-man unit to attack head-on. If they chase you out, run, and then forty-nine thousand troops will surround them all and wipe them out in one go."

After Master Master Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he shook the goose-feather fan in his hand, while Wei Zhuang's eyes shone with gold.

"Brilliant, sir's strategy is truly brilliant!"

At this time, Master Master Zhuge Liang waved his hand and continued.

"You can use fire arrows to ignite their grain and tents first. This can cause chaos and reduce your pressure."

"Sir is truly..."

"Go prepare quickly, let them finish cooking quickly, and by the way, use fans to fan the fragrance toward the Qin army." Master Master Zhuge Liang smiled and said.

He observed (cjfa) for most of the morning and finally concluded that the opponent had no more than fifty thousand men, there would be no ambush nearby, and the enemy general was very mediocre and had no sense of vigilance at all.

Subsequently, sure enough, when the fragrance of the food from the Nancheng side drifted to the Qin army's camp, countless Qin troops became restless. Although they were elites, they were also human.

They were hungry!

Especially since there had been no war for many years, their military quality had decreased a lot.

Countless old soldiers actually took the lead in making trouble, demanding to eat. In their view, it was simply impossible for the opponent to leave the city to find trouble for them.

They were the attacking side, after all. Even if there was a great battle, the opponent would definitely eat first and then notify them, right?

However, with great difficulty, under the pressure of the old soldiers, the Qin army finally started eating early.

Just as the food was cooked, news of an enemy attack was passed over.

"Damn it, what are those hidden sentries doing?"

"Damn it, are we going to fight before we even eat?"

Just as countless old soldiers were complaining, they received the latest news: there were only one thousand enemies!

"Heh, one thousand people dare to attack? They're just coming to harass us."

"I think they are full and have nothing to do, coming here to die. Let's go and grab some heads!"

"Hahahaha, go quickly, go quickly. If you go, I won't have to line up behind you, and I can eat sooner."

"Hahahaha, this Ergou is also stupid. Just one thousand people. By the time we get there, they'll be dead already. Not to mention running for nothing, maybe we won't even be able to grab food." The young man who first said he wanted to kill the enemy ran back, his face flushed red with shame. Just like that, he ended up behind countless old soldiers.

"Hahahaha, Ergou is still too young. After eating, maybe the general will lead us to attack the city, and then we can make contributions, right?"

"We are Great Qin elites. Killing these rabble, isn't it just something that can be done with a wave of the hand?"

Facing the ridicule of many old soldiers, the young soldier buried his head low. Sometimes it's not what you think, but what everyone thinks.
