After taking a rest, Liu Mang noticed that the ground was beginning to tremble. He knew that it was the arrival of Boss Cao’s troops.
Dawn. Liu Mang walked up to the city tower. The scene he saw there left him completely stunned.
Rows upon rows of units arranged in square formations. Spears like the rains. Bows and arrows like the clouds.
“How many people is this?!” Liu Mang swallowed his saliva. The whole city was densely surrounded by people.
“An army of a hundred thousand!” Lu Bu had appeared next to Liu Mang without him knowing.
“A hundred thousand?!” Lu Mang was about to faint. Although population have grew a lot in modern times, to see so many soldiers gathered together wasn’t something that happen often. Even if it’s to review troops they would have at most some tens of thousands of soldiers gathered, nowhere near the hundred thousand that’s here now.
“Cao Cao really think highly of this Lu Bu!” Lu Bu's eyes radiate all around. He was correct. Cao Cao has been disturbed ever since Lu Bu escaped from Xiapi. One must know that Lu Bu wasn’t some kind of peaceful house cat, he’s a tiger, a fierce tiger, a tiger that eats people! Even if you don’t mess with the tiger, you must still be careful of its claws! Old Cao, on the other hand, actually decided to steal this tiger’s base!
“Can we even win?!” There’s only ten thousand people inside the city. For them to fight a hundred thousand, even if one thinks with his ass, he’ll know that they can’t possibly win! Liu Mang’s question had no other effect other than lowering the morale.
“Are we not to fight just because we can’t win?!” Had it been before then Lu Bu might’ve been like Liu Mang, unable to have the idea of resisting such an army. However, now it’s different. Having experienced Xiapi, Lu Bu had already given up on the idea of surrendering to Old Cao. He even almost managed to take Old Cao’s life and seriously injured Xiahou Yuan.
The Xiahou clan was the root of Old Cao. It was impossible for Old Cao to give up his entire clan for a single Lu Bu.
“Sigh!” Liu Mang wanted to sigh but was stopped by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu whispered. “You can be afraid. You can panic. However, you cannot show those emotions in front of the army! If the commander was to become uneasy, to become nervous, then how would the subordinates be able to risk their lives for you?!”
