The sky gradually became brighter, and the dead trees standing quietly on the mountains suddenly sounded violently, and then the jingling sound continued, and the dead branches were trembling slightly. Below it, groups of people dressed in thick linen clothes, densely packed with rocks in front of the mountain walls, and the broken rocks spread on the ground. Soon after, they were brought to the shaft truck one by one, and after driving for a long distance, they were unloaded in a fenced camp. The craftsmen who had already waited took the chisels and carved them into irregular circles, and then piled up with other stone bullets, waiting to be loaded and pulled away.

Nearby, there were also horse hooves flying by the pile of stones, rushing out of the camp to the front. A soldier with a handsome armor was walking out of the tent and gathering in the shouts of the sergeant. The dense crowd extended endlessly around the running war horses. The continuous military camp began to be lively. After a moment, the neighing of the war horses and the sound of the iron hooves were also restless in the schoolyard.

Further ahead, in the sky of Qingming, you could faintly see the outline of the city's towering wall. The figures on it ran back and forth, screaming loudly. The quiver filled with arrows was carried on the back of the archer, and came to the back of the battlements with a clanging sound. The infantry carrying shields stepped forward and stared at the distance opposite the wall. A large number of civilians carried wood and rocks... All the tools that could be used to guard the city were busy on the city wall. After a moment, when the first autumn sun shone, a horn sounded from the field. They stopped for a moment and looked out.

Wow

The earth was shaking in the distance, and countless soldiers and horses from the north rushed from the barracks like a torrent, woven into a huge formation. A long pillar stood in front of the formation in the morning light of Qingming. A general named Meng Da rode here and waved to the soldiers next to him: "Hang up Liu Bei's adopted son."

"Mencius! I was blind and didn't see you clearly!"

The soldier came over with a struggling figure. As he screamed, he had already tied his hands to the rope. The expressionless soldier pulled it on the other side. Liu Feng's arm was stretched out suddenly, and his body was hanging from the ground. When he rose to mid-air, his voice continued to verbally: "You are ungrateful, you are afraid of death."

"A guy who doesn't have a greed, he's a man."

"...I'll wait for you below first!"

After a few whip, Meng Da turned around and threw the whip to the soldiers beside him, strode backward, and walked through the middle of two square formations composed of heavy armored soldiers of the Tiger Guards. In front of his vision, two rows of double-sword guards with brown leather armor and plush collars stretched left and right. He took a deep breath, his heart thrust and his heart was thrust and kneeled down half a foot in front of the white wolf flag, bowing: "I have seen the King of Jin, and the adopted son of the thief Liu Feng has hung on the flagpole." He lowered his head and said this, and did not dare to express his grace.

The wind blows, and the autumn clouds are rolling, and the golden morning light is cast from the gaps of the clouds. When shining on the whistling white wolf flag, the King of Jin, who is riding a black horse, is wearing a cloak and built-in black armor. He looks up at the figure struggling on the flagpole, and his lips are slightly opened and closed: "How great it would be if everyone in Shu is as conscious as you..."

A low voice floated in the wind. When the majestic Gongsun Zhi slowly raised his hand, Xu Chu turned his head and looked over and heard the order from the King of Jin on the black horse: "Tell me the order to Pan Feng, adjust the stone throwing machine, and ask Liu Bei to get up, and it's time to fight!"

"Yes!" The fat man blinked, bowed his hand and took Meng Da down.

In front, the stone-throwing base was built soon after. The long huge wooden spoon was pressed down by the roughly carved stone and sank down. The parts inlaid with links made a squeaking sound. At one moment, a general pulled out his sword and "killed it"

The tight stirring rope was cut off with a bang, and the rock bullet the size of a water tank was thrown into the sky, passing a long trajectory toward the towering city wall in the distance. Countless figures shouted and ran wildly on it. The terrified archer hid behind the shield and looked up at the huge black shadow flying over. Following it to the back of the city wall, what extended past was a neat and staggered street. Countless people were running in panic in the streets and alleys, and then fell with a bang.

Some buildings were collapsing, and terrifying screams were heard one after another.

....

"Uncle and nephew, what's going on outside?"

While the government office was discussing strategies for defending the city with Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others, they vaguely heard panic coming from the east city gate. They rushed out of the main hall with a group of strategists and saw Chen Dao who was rushing from outside. The latter quickly raised his hand: "Report to the lord, Gongsun Zhi threw a stone into the city and smashed a house, and several people were crushed inside."

Liu Bei was silent for a while and walked out. Zhuge Liang followed behind and asked Chen Dao: "Let the servants in the government office maintain stability in the city, so that the people will stay at home and not come out, in case Gongsun Zhi ambushed in the city."

After leaving the government office, Liu Bei had not said a word yet. He got on a horse and took his Bai Li soldiers to the city wall. Along the way, there were panicked residents in the city everywhere. He called his children and daughters to gather at the other three gates that had no war. The servants in the government office waved their sticks to drive them out.

"The Gongsun Zhi from the north is cruel and easy to kill. More than 70,000 people from the southern barbarians were eaten by them. If the city was broken, how could you survive? Only by going up the city wall and fighting against the left general Liu Bei and killing him back, will your life survive..."

Such propaganda words are shouted out from time to time in the crowd, and it was Gongsun Zhi who defeated Meng Huo. After defeating Mianzhu, Zhuge Liang deliberately sent people to spread the word everywhere. The previous strategy was broken, so there was no need to use it in the future. He had to find another way to defend the city. He had also thought about the empty city plan before and scared the other party, but when he thought of Gongsun Zhi's temperament, he could not say that he could kill him directly...

In this way, the only way to drive the people is to do this.

The crowds of people were crowded and moving. Looking at Liu Bei and his team heading towards the east gate, a woman knelt down with her child in her arms, kowtowed to him and cried: "Please give us a way to live. My husband starved to death when he was in a stable state of clearing the wall... He finally ran into Chengdu and wanted to fight again. Please let us live!"

When a guard went to drive her away, a white-haired old woman rushed over to the side. Her yellow nails scratched the guard's armor, were pushed away, and fell under the eaves, hitting her head and bleeding, and still screaming at the team that passed by: "When Liu Yizhou was still there... there was a war... but you came, fighting everywhere, and Yizhou was ruined by you! You must die a good death."

When the team arrived near the city gate, Liu Bei's face was so terrifying that he got off the horse without saying a word. He pursed his lips tightly and walked up the steps. There were generals around him. The soldiers saluted him, but they ignored him. Standing on the top of the city, several broken rubble remained on the ground. The stone bullets that had crossed the city walls before, brushed the eaves of the city tower, fell and smashed a soldier, who was bandaging his head next to him.

Liu Bei went over to look at the injuries, comforted him a few words, and then went to the wall. Liao Hua, Xiang Chong and other generals came over and pointed outside: "Lord, the one hanging on the flagpole is Liu Feng... Meng Da surrendered to Gongsun Zhi, and the reinforcements from Shangyong are gone."

"Well... Feng'er has he ever begged for mercy?"

"No."

"Good..." Liu Bei looked at the figure hanging on the flagpole in the distance and nodded, "... He is strong and filial, and can come from Shangyong to rescue Chengdu. This filial piety is really... rare."

The sky was bright and not hot. At this time, the field outside the city, someone rode a horse in front of the army, carrying a gun and a horse headed towards this side. He stopped at the distance of the arrow. Meng Da narrowed his eyes and looked upwards, and bowed and said, "General Zuo is fine."

"Who else has Meng Da's face to see me at the city?" Liu Bei's voice came down from the city wall. His tightly pursed lips could not tell the expression on his face. "It is Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and the general's contribution. Is there any unfair treatment?"

Meng Da, who was walking around the city, laughed: "Zhang Song died because of the incident. Fa Zheng was valued by General Zuo, but Da could only be the deputy general of the city. Jingzhou was lost and Guan Yu was surrounded and killed by Lu Bu. I and Liu Feng were not blamed for his position, but Liu Feng was your adopted son, and what about me? At that time, I will still be killed by you as a hypocrite. I still have my old mother, wife and children at home. How can I compensate you all in your hands?"

"Liu Bei!" Meng Da finally raised his spear and pointed it at the city wall: "Today, King Jin has something to tell me to convey to you. At this time, you can avoid death if you surrender. After the war begins, King Jin will not accept it!"

Between the city walls, it seemed as if all the sounds had frozen.

"Gongsun Zhi is extremely barbaric and does not understand human nature..." Liu Bei shook his head, looked at him with his hands in his arms and was not showing weakness, and his tone was generous and indignant: "... Before, Cao Cao imprisoned the Emperor of Han in the palace, and later, Gongsun Zhi proclaimed himself King of Jin. He actually usurped the throne. The general followed him, and it is hard to guarantee that he would not be criticized by later generations. Today, Liu Bei stood on this city wall, even if he died..."

"A lot of nonsense!"

The city suddenly blew his words, and Meng Da tied the reins and turned his horse's head back to the formation, and shouted: "I'm alive, I want to enfeoff my wife and son, you can't give it! When the war begins later, you can't wait to die."

Just as Liu Bei was choked, Gongsun Zhi, who was riding on the horse, waved his hand in the military formation opposite: "Kill Liu Feng, and then let the refugees come forward and prepare for war!"

A trumpet sounded between the military formations.

Looking over the Chengdu city wall, the dust smoke that was dragged out by the cavalry only ran around the field. Soon after, slow figures appeared in the other direction. Several thousand Black Mountain infantry teams and the archwolf riders wandering around were escorting tens of thousands of refugees to the side of the city wall. Liu Bei, on the top of the city, held the cold wall, and finally had an expression on his face. In the distance, a sound suddenly came from the flagpole: "Father!"

The next second, the blood light came into people's vision.

Liu Bei's body shaking, "Feng'er..."

The world is white.
