Bai Feng had finally appeared!
However, this was not necessarily good news for Zhuge Liang.
Behind Bai Feng, there was a black mass of an army!
Following Bai Feng's order, countless archers appeared from the surrounding rooftops.
"Protect the Lord! Protect Mister!"
The shield-bearers quickly raised their shields and protected Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and the others.
Following that was a rain of arrows. The soldiers who had just entered the city were caught off guard and were shot full of holes.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's hearts skipped a beat.
It seemed that there were more than ten thousand soldiers in the city!
"Could it be that the reinforcements have arrived?"
Zhuge Liang could not help but be suspicious.
When they had just attacked the city, Zhuge Liang had already seen many soldiers on the city walls. It was very strange.
Moreover, these soldiers were wearing different uniforms from the City Defense Army and the Ferocious Cavalry.
However, Zhuge Liang had thought that it was just a trick set up by Bai Feng, so he did not take it to heart.
However, the number of soldiers in front of him was huge, and they were standing right in front of him!
"Who said that Xu Chang has no reinforcements? Zhuge Kongming, you are underestimating my army. "
Seeing that there were not many soldiers left, Bai Feng gave an order, and the archers stopped shooting. Then, she said,
Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,
"These soldiers only add up to a few tens of thousands. Do you think that they can stop my army of more than a hundred thousand?"
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, soldiers poured out from behind him.
However, Bai Feng did not think much of it and waved his hand.
Dozens of armored soldiers walked out from the surrounding area, each dragging a person.
"What?"
Zhuge Liang recognized at a glance that these soldiers were wearing the uniform of the Xiliang Army!
These people were obviously the new recruits who had rushed into the city without knowing what was going on!
When Bai Feng ordered these soldiers to be killed, he also kept a few hundred captives. They were now useful.
"Liu Bei, the archers have all retreated. You don't have to hide anymore!"
Bai Feng ignored Zhuge Liang and started to shout for Liu Bei.
Seeing this, Liu Bei could not hide any longer. He had the upper hand now. Without the archers, Bai Feng obviously could not take his life. He urged his horse forward.
"I'll give you one last chance."
Bai Feng stared coldly at Liu Bei and continued.
"If your army still doesn't retreat from Xuchang, don't blame me for being merciless."
Seeing that the soldiers in front of Bai Feng had already placed their swords on the necks of the soldiers, Liu Bei frowned slightly.
There were many new recruits in the Western Liang Army. They had only been through regular training and had never been to the battlefield. Now that someone was holding a knife to their neck, how could these soldiers not panic?
Some of the soldiers even started to cry. They remembered that their mothers were still waiting for them to go home.
At this moment, all the surrendered soldiers were looking at Liu Bei. He was the only one who could save their lives!
However, if Liu Bei did not agree, their heads would roll in the next second!
Seeing that Liu Bei did not respond,
Bai Feng raised his hand slightly.
A few soldiers in front of him raised their swords. Before the new recruits could react, their heads had already been chopped off.
The headless bodies fell to the ground and blood continued to gush out.
Liu Bei could not bear to see them like this. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Liang stopped him.
"My lord, now that the great cause is about to succeed, you must prioritize the overall situation!"
"But …"
Liu Bei glanced at the soldiers in front of him. When the soldiers saw that their comrades had already been beheaded, some of them were so scared that they even peed their pants. They looked at Liu Bei with pleading eyes.
When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression at this moment, he immediately knew that things were not going well.
Bai Feng's plan was so vicious!
Zhuge Liang could not help but feel anxious.
。
His lord had always been benevolent and righteous. At this moment, Bai Feng was using this to his advantage.
If they retreated, Bai Feng would have achieved his goal.
However, if they did not retreat, these new recruits would definitely be killed and their heads would be separated from their bodies. When this spread out, it would greatly affect Liu Bei's reputation!
Moreover, it seemed that the reinforcements from Luoyang and Chang 'an had already arrived overnight. It was hard to say whether they could win this battle.
Once they entered a fierce battle, more reinforcements would arrive. At that time, the Xiliang Army, which had been fighting for a long time, would definitely be weakened. It was hard to say whether they could win this battle.
Zhuge Liang could not think of any way to break such an almost perfect plan for the time being.
At this moment, the dilemma was in Liu Bei's hands.
Did he want victory or reputation?
Bai Feng looked at Liu Bei, who was deep in thought and did not dare to let the army attack rashly. Bai Feng smiled inwardly.
This was what he and Diao Chan had talked about previously. They wanted to make Liu Bei stay where he was and make it difficult for him to attack the city.
Although Liu Bei was in a dilemma, Ma Teng and the others had already arrived at Liu Bei's side to discuss this matter.
Bai Feng knew that this plan had already succeeded.
At this moment, Cao Pi slowly walked to Bai Feng's side and asked in a low voice,
"Sir, do you think that Liu Bei will retreat?"
"It is indeed very dangerous to let them enter the city. If Liu Bei does not retreat, what should we do?"
Bai Feng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry.
"Rest assured, Young Master. Liu Bei will definitely retreat."
"Why do you say that? Will Liu Bei really give up on the victory that is within his grasp? "
Cao Pi frowned and did not quite believe it.
Seeing that Liu Bei and the others had stopped and started an impromptu discussion, Bai Feng continued,
"Young Master, what did Liu Bei rely on to get to where he is today?"
"Did he rely on fierce generals like Guan Zhang and Zhuge Liang and other strategists?"
Cao Pi blurted out.
Bai Feng shook his head and said,
"It's his so-called benevolence and righteousness."
"Whether it's generals like Guan Zhang and Zhao, or other strategists, including Zhuge Liang, and a type of soldier."
"The Shu Army is too idealistic. They are all attracted by the idealistic pioneers like Liu Bei, which is the so-called benevolence and righteousness."
Bai Feng's words were a little too modern. As an ancient person, Cao Pi really did not understand.
"Zihuan is slow-witted. I hope that Sir can explain it clearly."
Bai Feng continued,
"At this moment, it is extremely important for Liu Bei to take down Xuchang. If he fails, Liu Bei will be in an extremely dangerous situation. However, if he runs fast enough and goes back to Jiangdong, it is not impossible for him to survive."
"However, if he gives up the lives of these soldiers and blindly attacks the city, then even if he obtains Xuchang, he will lose the hearts of these people who follow him."
"At that time, if he can't use this good reputation to attract famous officials and soldiers, how long do you think Liu Bei can last in Xuchang?"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Pi suddenly understood.
What a good move to kill people! No matter what choice Liu Bei made, he would not gain any benefits at all!
However, the best choice now was indeed to retreat.
