Volume 1, Chapter 79, Oath

When he returned to Gushi City, the news of the enemy defeating the Huai River was spreading quickly in Gushi City as if it had grown wings.

Almost one morning, everyone from Gushi City knew that the Gushi Army had defeated ants and thieves on the south bank of the Huai River. Such glorious deeds did not need to be deliberately spread, and they were quickly spread among the villagers who fled to fleeing famines and hiding.

What kind of iron cavalry kicked the camp and the mountains and the earth, what kind of attacked the enemy's corpses were blocking the road, what was invincible? Although the soldiers who fought for the night were extremely tired, no one was willing to rest. As long as they could stand up, they all participated in Jiang Feng's special triumphal ceremony.

Tens of thousands of people stuffed the originally not spacious streets, and they all came to see the infinite scenery of the enemy warriors.

Especially when seeing the soldiers' blood-stained battle robe and the steel knife with a curled blade, anyone could imagine how much the bloody battle had been paid.

Jiang Feng needs such a situation.

The ants thief's crossing south of Huai made the gentry and ordinary people in Gushi City in extreme panic. Jiang Feng even suspected that if there was no victory to inspire morale, the people in Gushi City would change their minds and flee the county town at the last moment.

After all, compared with life, everything else can be temporarily put on the back of your mind. No matter how beautiful the things are, they must be enjoyed by life.

When the cavalry slowly entered the field where they had already lined up with their proud heads, the flow of people was also introduced into the field prepared by the cavalry.

The infantry with neat armor either held guns and hips, or held shields and knives, looked straight ahead with their eyes, and remained as motionless as a mountain. The strict aura made the people who were entering the cavalry subconsciously stagnate, and naturally bypassed the infantry formations in the entire army and stood outside the boundary according to the boundary drawn by white ash.

The cavalrymen walked around the school ground and stood firm in front of the parade platform, as if they felt something. The whole field became quiet at the same time, and a strong aura of depression suddenly surged from the few people on the parade platform to the whole venue.

"Dear fellow villagers, I, Jiang Feng, and Gushi Army have a good time. I have gathered with GS County Magistrate Chen Wei here today to celebrate our great defeat of ant thieves on the banks of the Huaishui River last night, and to pay tribute to our colleagues who died heroically in the battle last night."

At this time, nearly 20,000 people had surrounded the yard, filling the entire yard. Fortunately, Gushi has been a military center since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although the county town is small, the school ground is quite large.

The sound that Jiang Feng deliberately released was extremely thick and powerful.

"The ant thieves swept across the two prefectures of Rucai several months ago. More than ten counties were turned into white land, and the people fled everywhere. Now the ant thieves crossed the Huai south and were about to enter Shouzhou east. I am the only way for me. It can be said that the city under our feet is a nail that is like a thorn in the throat. If Gushi wants to avoid being destroyed, my Gushi army has no other way, so I can fight to the death with the ant thieves!"

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

The soldiers raised their swords and guns and roared angrily, and the huge aroused sound immediately affected the people around them, making them unable to help but feel excited.

The Huang Chao Rebellion decades ago made the entire Central Plains and Huai Si land a piece of white land. The story of cannibalism has been staged everywhere. Although the people today have never experienced it, they are chilling when they hear that horrifying tragedy.

The news that Ru and Cai's two states were poisoned and ravaged to Gushi has spread to Gushi to a greater or lesser extent, but after all, they are apart from Huai River and are not close, so the people are more of a psychological worry and fear.

But now it’s different. The ant thief has crossed the Huai River and headed straight for Gushi. The huge real crisis has united all the people living in this city.

But it is useless for a group of sheep to unite. They need a more authoritative and powerful leader, a leader who can bring them victory and security like a lion to lead them through this disaster, and now this leader seems to have finally emerged.

"Ant thieves are not scary! Although they are poisoning each other for thousands of miles in Ru and Cai, our Guangzhou army is not afraid of our Gushi army! Last night, I led the Gushi cavalry camp and Ezhou reinforcements, seven hundred cavalry, and a hundred miles to attack the ants thieves crossing the river, like cutting melons and vegetables, killing 5,000 thieves! This is the head of the two thieves' army!"

"Puff!" Two hideous heads were thrown in front of the parade. Jiang Feng was calm and looked ahead proudly. In front of him was a black head, which condensed into a strong fighting spirit echoed in his chest.

"The main force of ant thieves is coming soon. They will not be willing to be beaten by us last night, so we will face a more severe test. More ant thieves will crawl under our city of Gushi. Should we bow our heads and give our honor and property and even our wife and daughter, begging them to spare our lives, or hold our heads up and use the swords and guns in our hands and the rolling stones on the city wall to let them remember Gushi deeply? I think this answer does not require my answer, it is already in our hearts!"

"The city is there, and the city is dead!" Gu Minghai took the lead and roared with anger: "I am invincible!"

"I am invincible!" Rulin's halberd spear suddenly raised as the senior officers swung their swords and swung their swords. The whole atmosphere was suddenly pushed to the highest peak: "I am invincible!"

"I am invincible! I am invincible! I am invincible!"

This sentence suddenly became the most resounding slogan and famous quote of the Gushi Army, and was firmly engraved on the Gushi Army and the people's hearts. Even many years later, many people can still recall this exciting scene in detail.

The people who were once surrounded by fear and worries were finally incited by the atmosphere deliberately created.

From the start of the propaganda in the city, to the blood-stained cavalry walking around the city, from the soldiers' demonstrations, to the wanton exaggeration of Jiang Feng's celebration ceremony, every slight change in the mentality and emotions of the people was firmly controlled by Jiang Feng, and the emotions of the soldiers and the people were naturally mobilized to the extreme.

The warlike atmosphere in Gushi City was like the dead grass in the wilderness was suddenly ignited by the prairie fire, and everyone was in an inexplicable state of fanaticism.

The people actively helped the army prepare supplies and repair various facilities. The gentry and merchants donated money and materials unshirkable, and the soldiers naturally did not hesitate.

Gushi, like a machine full of windings, running wildly, waiting for the arrival of the life-and-death moment.

This battle is inevitable, so let the war proceed according to the trajectory it sets.
