Xiao Chuan can't even make a wry smile now.

The Izumo Empire's army arrived at Hosoyanagi Castle at dawn and set up camp about three miles from Hosoyanagi Castle, blocking the four gates of Hosoyanagi Castle.

There are more than 10,000 people and horses, covering the sky and the sun. Now there are 100,000 troops surrounding Xiliu City, and the camps are almost connected, but there is a little gap in the middle for passage, the question is whether the army of Xiliu City dares to pass through here?

The atmosphere of the troops stationed on the city walls was dreary, depressing, and dead.

The difference between the soldiers of the regular army of the Great Han Kingdom and the private army recruited by Ogawa is now obvious.

One of the legions of the regular army of the Great Han Kingdom in Xiliu City was stationed today, and although the atmosphere was also very depressing, standing in front of them, he clearly felt a solemn aura rushing towards his face. In the face of a strong enemy, they are also very depressed, but without losing their true military qualities, standing in front of them will only make people feel the dullness before the coming of the war, and a momentum of iron and blood is constantly brewing and rising.

On the other hand, the private army that Lord Liang spent a lot of money to set up, these regiments equipped with the most elite of the empire could not be fully equipped, and it could almost be said that they were armed to the teeth of the aristocratic army, and now almost everyone was as pale as earth, no matter who passed in front of their team, they could feel the panic that could not be concealed.

Liang Fei's face is also very ugly, there is no way, the formation time of Xiaochuan's private army is still too short, these people are now barely able to line up quickly and be able to abide by military discipline, this is already the biggest achievement of Liang Qin and Liang Fei these days.

As for the battle array, it is still empty, and it is completely a showcase.

"It's not your fault, you've done a good job, I'm worried that as soon as the Izumo Empire's army comes, these people will scatter in a hurry and all run away......" Xiao Chuan comforted Liang Fei in a timely manner, and the face of the commander of the city guard army from the Prime Minister's Mansion was a little better.

"Are you scared?" asked Ogawa aloud as he climbed the arrow tower to the private army below.

"Not afraid ......"

"Not afraid ......"

The voices that answered were sparse, and most of them were weak.

"You, haven't you eaten!" Liang Fei yelled.

"Don't be afraid!" replied in a much neater and louder voice this time.

"Then you are much stronger than the lord, to be honest, I just saw the army of the Izumo Empire, and your lord I almost peed my pants in fright, hahaha......" Ogawa knows that these people are all big and rough, and only in this way can he get closer to them.

"Hahaha......" The soldiers below burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

"But, after thinking about it, I'm not afraid, do you know why?" Ogawa looked around.

"Because of this city, because of your lord, I spent nearly 10 million gold coins to build this city! If they dare to attack, you can kill 10,000 people with your bows and arrows, and they haven't reached the city yet!"

"We're going to attack the city below, but our city walls are too high, their siege ladders are only half as high as our city walls, and they can't get up from exhaustion, and they will have to fall to death ...... thousands of people," Xiao Chuan made a worried expression.

The soldiers on the walls were somewhat more active.

"Do you all eat dry rice?" Xiao Chuan roared, and the soldiers below were stunned when they heard it.

"Of course not, you stay safe on the wall, and if your hands are really itchy, throw stones, shoot arrows, and pour fire oil down...... In this way, the enemy will have to die another 20,000 people...... It's pitiful! You are also soldiers, they are desperate and bloody below! But you are still on the city wall like boars in heat, showing off your fine armor to those beautiful maidens, and the most hateful thing is that you are still chewing delicious beef in your mouth......" Ogawa shook his head as he spoke, as if he really felt very unfair.

"Hahaha......" The soldiers laughed even more, especially when Ogawa said "boar in heat", and some people began to make fun of each other.

"Now they've finally built a siege ladder long enough to start attacking the city!, but will you watch them climb the walls?" Ogawa shouted with a laugh.

"No!" the soldiers were in good spirits, and the voices of their answers were deafening.

"Yes, of course you will not be idle, you will hum a little song and throw stones, arrows, and fire oil...... In this way, the enemy army will lose at least 20,000 people, and I haven't made their ladder too long, and the thousand eight people who fell to death after breaking it are counted!" Xiao Chuan's expression became more and more relaxed, as if the army of the Izumo Empire had really suffered a big loss now.

"How many of them are left?" asked Ogawa exclaimed.

"Less than 50,000 men!" the soldiers shouted.

"But these 50,000 people, can they climb this wall together? No, of course not! They also rushed up one hundred and eight people at the same time, and this number of people is not enough to stuff your teeth! Hatefully, my lord, I will reward you with gold coins because you cut off the heads of your enemies! Five gold coins for one head, damn it, this is purely stealing money from my pocket, and I order you not to cut off their heads, but only to kick them off the wall!" Xiao Chuan made an angry look.

"Also, if they dare to attack, I will set fire to their grain and grass, and let them fight you hungry......" After Xiao Chuan finished speaking, he grabbed a forty or fifty pound stone bullet from the arrow tower, leaned sideways, and swung his arm violently, and the stone bullet flew out of the arrow tower, crossed an arc in the air, and under the gaze of everyone, it made a roar and smashed into the camp of the Izumo Imperial army.

"Oh!"

"Lord is mighty!"

"The city lord is mighty!"

The morale of the soldiers on the city wall was suddenly high, and the momentum was like a rainbow for a while.

"When the enemy attacks, remember to call me! Sir, I'm going to fight, or these bunnies will empty my money bag...... His grandmother's ......" Xiao Chuan deliberately said loudly to Liang Fei, the voice came far away, and the soldiers on the city wall were suddenly excited again.

Hosoyanagi City has been cut off from the outside world, of course, this is a scout that Ogawa is worried about losing a very small number of people, but Ogawa is not worried about the situation of the two acropolis, the distance is not too far, and Ogawa's divine sense can be completely covered.

However, I still have to go there, the people's hearts need to be inspired, the morale needs to be boosted, and I must find out the purpose of the Izumo Empire's army.

It seems that everything is arranged in place, and there should be nothing missing. But why do you always feel a little unsteady in your heart?

Xiao Chuan glanced in the direction of the inn where Feng Ling'er was staying, and Feng Ling'er's delicate and petite figure, smooth and tight skin, and amazingly elastic legs came to mind......

Xiao Chuan shook his head and scolded himself, when is it, still thinking about these things!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in Xiao Chuan's mind, and he now knew the source of his uneasiness, because he had missed one person - Yun Sanshao!
