Chapter 331

"Why hasn't the imperial court sent us reinforcements yet?!"

"Could it be that the imperial court has forgotten us?"

Lu Zhi frowned as he watched some of his soldiers complaining.

He knew that if things continued to develop like this, it would be very unfavorable; as the complaints grew, sooner or later, the pressure on the soldiers would increase, and perhaps a mutiny would occur, opening the city gates to let the Yellow Turban Army in.

Lu Zhi wanted to control this unfavorable situation, but he had no way!

Because as the war progressed, even his own heart had wavered slightly.

Sometimes, at a certain moment at night, he would even wonder if he, Lu Zhi, had been abandoned by the imperial court?

If he hadn't been abandoned, why hadn't the imperial court sent troops to reinforce him?

In fact, what crushed the soldiers defending the city, or rather, what crushed Lu Zhi, was never the fear of death.

It was the lack of any hope for victory.

Lu Zhi watched the grain in the granary getting less and less, watching the soldiers defending the city fall one after another.

Watching the Yellow Turban Army outside the city still being a sea of yellow, as if no matter how the war went, only their Great Han army suffered casualties, while the Yellow Turban Army was not harmed at all.

Watching the desperate number of the Yellow Turban Army, the fighting spirit of the defending soldiers had long since fallen to the bottom.

Some soldiers had even put down their weapons; they had completely lost confidence in this battle.

Just then, a strange sound appeared in the sky, and with the changes in the Divine Weapon Ranking, brilliance radiated from Lu Zhi's eyes again.

"What??!! The Fuxi Zither is actually in the hands of Empress He!"

"Hahaha, truly Heaven does not want the Great Han to perish!"

Lu Zhi couldn't help but laugh loudly; he clearly knew that the time to awaken the fighting spirit of his side and counterattack the enemy had arrived!

"Pass my military order, gather all defending troops!"

As Lu Zhi passed the order, the soldiers in the city gathered under Lu Zhi one after another.

After the soldiers were gathered, Lu Zhi stretched his throat and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers! Look up at the Divine Weapon Ranking in the sky!"

"The Fuxi Zither, sixth on the Heavenly Ranking, is now in the hands of our Great Han Empress!!"

"What does this represent? Our Great Han is truly destined by Heaven!"

"It won't be long before the imperial court's reinforcements arrive!"

"The Yellow Turban thieves will definitely be wiped out by us!"

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, the defending troops mechanically looked up at the Divine Weapon Ranking in the sky.

When they saw with their own eyes that the Fuxi Zither, which had just climbed onto the ranking, was actually in the hands of the Great Han Empress, a glimmer of life flashed again in their eyes, which had been like those of dead people.

"A divine object in the Great Han?"

"Empress actually has the supreme treasure Fuxi Zither!!! Our Great Han also has the protection of a heavenly treasure!!!"

"Our Great Han is still protected by Heaven; Heaven blesses the Great Han, and we will definitely not fail!!"

"The Yellow Turban thieves will definitely be defeated by us!!!"

When the soldiers learned that a divine weapon had chosen the Great Han, the hearts of the soldiers, which had already died, ignited with burning fighting spirit again.

They believed that Heaven was still standing on the side of the Great Han, and that the final winner of their war would definitely be the Great Han!

Seeing that the road ahead was not gray, but that there was dawn, the soldiers reignited hope for this battle.

Watching the current appearance of the soldiers, Lu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered:

"Soldiers, follow me to counterattack!!! Cut down these rebels!"

At the same time, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, just like Lu Zhi, were actively planning a counterattack using the Divine Weapon Ranking.

Jizhou, Julu.

Zhang Jiao watched the Fuxi Zither, which had just climbed onto the ranking, actually being in the hands of the Great Han Empress, but he did not panic because of this.

He remained very calm.

However, although Zhang Jiao thought it didn't matter whether the divine weapon was in the Great Han or not.

But his two younger brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, both became very uneasy after seeing the Divine Weapon Ranking.

Zhang Bao looked at the Divine Weapon Ranking in the sky, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, and he immediately walked to Zhang Jiao's side and said:

"Big Brother, why are you still so calm? What should we do now?"

"This is the critical period of the war. If the soldiers see the ranking in the sky at this time,"

"and learn that the Great Han Empress has a supreme treasure, it will definitely affect the morale of the soldiers!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liang also ran to Zhang Jiao's side very anxiously and said:

"That's right, Big Brother. Now that this Divine Weapon Ranking has appeared, the soldiers will definitely think that the Heavenly Dao is still on the side of the Great Han."

"If this continues, it will definitely shake the hearts of the soldiers and cause the offensive to slow down!"

"If we let those old fellows defending the city wait for the Great Han's reinforcements, then our efforts will fall short, Big Brother!"

"Think of a way quickly!"

After Zhang Jiao listened to Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's words, he still had no panic at all.

He looked at the two younger brothers in front of him and said slowly:

"Don't panic because of such a small matter."

"Rest assured, I have my own countermeasures."

"You two just need to manage your own subordinates and continue according to the plan."

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao felt relieved instantly after hearing that their Big Brother had a solution.

Then they followed Zhang Jiao's words and continued to command their subordinates separately, proceeding according to the original plan, leaving everything else to Zhang Jiao to solve.

After Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao left, Zhang Jiao turned his head and looked at Kang, one of the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Mansions of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect, who had been secretly helping him.

"Kang, is there a solution to this matter?"

Zhang Jiao asked with a trace of panic in his eyes.

In fact, when Zhang Jiao saw that the Fuxi Zither in the Divine Weapon Ranking was in the hands of the Great Han Empress, his heart also became panicked.

However, he did not show it in front of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, because Zhang Jiao knew that if even he panicked now, the Yellow Turban Army would definitely lose its military heart instantly.

At that time, there would be no need to wait for the Great Han's reinforcements; even the small army defending the city now would be enough to swallow this group of Yellow Turban soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit.

Now that only Zhang Jiao and Kang were there, Zhang Jiao could no longer suppress the panic in his heart.

Kang looked at Zhang Jiao in front of him and said without any emotion:

"Don't worry."

"The relationship between the Great Han Empress and Emperor Ling of Han has long been married in name only."

"Now the Heavenly Dao treasure is just the Great Han Empress's, not the Great Han's, so what are you afraid of?!"

Kang looked at Zhang Jiao with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"As long as this news is spread, not only will the morale of the Great Han not improve, but it will also make their morale even more depressed."

"By that time, the Great Han's army will naturally become lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

Zhang Jiao's eyes became brighter and brighter after hearing Kang's words.

"Kang, is this news accurate?"

Zhang Jiao asked very excitedly.

"Absolutely true!"

With Kang's answer, Zhang Jiao's hanging heart finally dropped for real.

Then Zhang Jiao ordered Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to send people to spread this news.

And let the soldiers rest well, preparing for the final decisive battle.

"It seems that the Heavenly Dao did not stand on your side of the Great Han this time."

"The Taiping Dao will eventually occupy the Great Han, and I will become the only heaven on this land!"

Zhang Jiao stood on high ground, overlooking the land of the Great Han, his eyes full of ambition.
