Chapter 266

On the walls of Changancheng.

Wu Zhao stood at the very front, Shangguan Wan'er and Gao Yang stood by her side, and the civil and military officials were lined up behind them.

Even though Gao Yang had been mentally prepared, at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and a chill arise.

This wasn't because he lacked courage, but because the scene before him was too shocking.

Looking forward, he saw a vast expanse of black cavalry densely packed together, and a black Chu Kingdom royal banner fluttering in the wind!

An elite force composed of hundreds of thousands of cavalry and infantry, charging in unison—this kind of impact was incomparable to any movie special effect.

At the same time, a terrifying momentum permeated their surroundings; dark clouds covered the nine heavens, further setting off the oppressive feeling of the Chu Kingdom cavalry.

Warhorses trampled the earth, flying sand filled the air, as if a purgatory iron cavalry was charging!

Wu Zhao, as an Emperor, had never seen such a scene of two armies facing each other; the moment the army killed its way over, her brain also went momentarily blank.

Not to mention some of the Great Qian civil officials; those with small courage were already trembling in their legs.

Their faces were pale!

With such a massive Chu army, could Changancheng really hold out?

Only old generals like Gao Tianlong and Lu Zhen remained unchanged, and even a vigorous fighting spirit burned in their eyes; they felt their hot blood returning bit by bit!

"Lord Gao!"

Lu Zhen couldn't help but speak, breaking the atmosphere.

Gao Yang's eyes were sharp, and he took a deep breath, calmly giving orders, "The Chu army has traveled a long distance, exhausted and weary; our army is fresh and waiting. The Chu army's main general will definitely not launch an attack immediately."

"Now, according to the plan, mobilize the commoners, have the soldiers with loud voices line up at the front, and shout with all their might!"

"You must shout out the momentum of our Great Qian!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

Lu Zhen and Qin Zhenguo bowed and immediately turned to go down.

"The Chu army is at the city walls; the test for Changancheng has arrived!"

"Quickly get on the city walls, and later you must shout with your loudest voices!"

"Charge!"

Following Lu Zhen's voice, one soldier after another quickly climbed onto the walls of Changancheng.

They had murderous looks on their faces!

Gao Yang looked at the more than one hundred thousand Chu troops in front, feeling this powerful oppressive force, and under the heavy pressure, he actually smiled.

Wu Zhao had been a bit nervous, but when she saw the smile on Gao Yang's face, she also felt much more relaxed.

"The Chu army is pressing on the border, and you can still smile?"

Gao Yang grinned, slightly perversely, "I don't know why, but seeing the Chu army makes my heart boil with hot blood, as if I can't wait any longer."

Gao Yang thought of his many methods, looking eager to try.

The officials were all silent, the corners of their mouths twitching.

With the army pressing on the border and Changancheng facing an unprecedented crisis, it would be good enough not to have weak legs in the face of this situation, yet Gao Yang could still smile and look eager to try.

Rebellious against the heavens!

Truly rebellious against the heavens.

"The Chu army is at the city walls and must build a camp. A camp for a hundred thousand troops must be near a water source. It's just that the Jinghe outside Changancheng is too long; otherwise, throwing a large number of corpses and cattle and sheep into the upstream of the water source would be enough to give the Chu army a headache."

"But wanting to pollute the entire Jinghe is not very realistic, and outside the Jinghe, there are other tributaries like the Wei River; the cost-effectiveness is too poor."

Gao Yang looked regretful.

Water is the foundation of life!

As the imperial city of Great Qian, water sources were the top priority when Changancheng was built.

To pollute these rivers with corpses would require an astronomical number.

Wu Zhao: "..."

Civil and military officials: "..."

Hiss!

Pollute the water source?

Such a large tributary as the Jinghe, and this Living Yama actually had such ideas.

"But disgusting them a little bit is not bad," Gao Yang said to himself.

Wu Zhao realized the point of the problem: "So, you still threw them in?"

"I just threw them in not long ago. The water of the Jinghe is flowing, and the Chu army doesn't know how many I threw in. Most likely, they will be startled when they see them. Being able to disgust them, why not do it?"

"What's more, this is just something done while clearing the fields; a small trick."

A simple smile appeared on Gao Yang's face.

Wu Zhao's eyes twitched.

But whether it was clearing the fields or the strange operation of scaring the Chu army, it made Wu Zhao's heart feel more stable.

These were just small tricks; the subsequent methods would likely be endless.

It felt so good to have a poisonous scholar on her side instead of on the opposite side.

Yan Zheng's expression was indescribable.

From a moral level, he severely condemned it, but from Great Qian's current crisis, he could only say it was beautifully done.

Cui Xinghe also held his breath.

The officials all looked at Gao Yang.

At this moment, Gao Yang provided a very strong sense of security.

On the walls of Changancheng, the Great Qian army and people gathered.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, her eyes looking at all the soldiers.

She raised her right hand high, her body permeated with rich imperial majesty, and then roared,

"Soldiers and people of Changancheng, I am with you!"

"You all, fight the enemy bravely!"

"Vigorous Great Qian, let us face the national disaster together!"

"If I am in the city, the city is in; if I die, the city dies!"

"Fight to the death!"

Following Wu Zhao's words, the eyes of the soldiers on the city walls suddenly changed; they raised their right hands with hot blood and shouted loudly,

"Vigorous Great Qian, let us face the national disaster together!"

"Great Qian, fight to the death!"

"Great Qian, fight to the death!"

"Great Qian, fight to the death!"

The shouts converged into a monstrous wave of sound, sweeping out and spreading far away.

"..."

"Hahaha!"
