Chapter 559 The Enemy is at the Gates



Liu Feng was very satisfied with these people.

Many of these soldiers were people who had followed Liu Feng from the very beginning and were just there for a living.

He was a true veteran under Liu Feng, having experienced countless battles.

Many of them had worked with the security escort agency and were quite familiar with them.

They heard that many of the brothers from the escort agency had been killed, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

After all, a large portion of these soldiers were not locals.

He would often ask the brothers from the escort agency to bring him a letter home, or even some silver back with him.

The brothers from the escort agency always did things for them without saying a word and never accepted money.

They haven't repaid this favor yet; now is the time for them to do so.

"I believe you all already know what happened."

“You’ve been following me for a while now, and you know my temper very well.”

"If our brothers are killed and we don't avenge them, that's not the style of the Tiger Roar Army."

"Although the brothers from the escort agency are not members of our Tiger Roar Army, they have long been one with us."

"Open your eyes wide and see clearly."

"This is the armor worn by the brothers from the escort agency."

“Every cut on this is no different from stabbing yourselves.”

"They are the ones who shed blood and sacrificed their lives; they are the ones who provided logistical support for our Tiger Roar Army."

“Every bowl of mixed grain rice you eat was brought back by them.”

"Now, they have been killed by a group of unreasonable people without any explanation."

"Let me ask you, can you tolerate this?"

"cannot."

"cannot."

"cannot."

The Tiger Roar Army brothers were immediately enraged.

"good."

"This is what our Tiger Roar Army is all about: clear distinction between gratitude and resentment."

"I want each and every one of you to remember this."

"Practice what you preach and do it well."

"Today, we, the Tiger Roar Army, stand up for our brothers and avenge them. In the future, when you encounter danger, it will be the same. Naturally, someone will stand up for you and avenge you."

"This is the belief of our Tiger Roar Army: a weak general makes one weak soldier, and a weak army makes a whole army weak. Remember, no matter what, we must dare to draw our swords."

"Set off."

At a single command, the Tiger Roar Army set off in a grand procession.

Their target was clearly the four cities east of Qingzhou.

Walking along the road, Zhai Shanchuan scratched his big head and asked Ma Gaole, who was marching, in a low voice.

"Brother Gao, I still don't quite understand."

"It's like we're the brothers who cut off someone else's livelihood on their own turf, and that's why they're retaliating, right?"

"They're the local bigwigs, we're just passing through, right?"

Marco chuckled and smacked his lips, nodding.

"That makes sense, that's right."

"Isn't it a bit too arrogant of us to bring such a large army?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Gaole immediately slapped him, but missed.

"What are you thinking, kid?"

"You're causing a morale collapse in the army."

This is the essential difference between Zhai Shanchuan, who came from a bandit background, and Ma Gaole, who came from a general background.

Zhai Shanchuan was originally a bandit from Tianwaitian. He believed in the code of honor among outlaws. Even though he wasn't very bright, he still understood the basic principles.

But Ma Gaole was different; he was once a general in the Xuanwu Armor.

He only knew one thing: military orders are absolute.

As for other things, he didn't care. He would do whatever Liu Feng told him to do, but he wouldn't have any other ideas.

That means those who disobey military orders should be dealt with according to military law.

However, Liu Feng actually heard what was said.

Zhai Shanchuan used to never think about these issues; he just did whatever Wu Jiang said. Back then, he was a bandit.

Later, when he joined the Tiger Roar Army, it was the same; he basically stayed with Wu Jiang.

But things are different now. Zhai Shanchuan, as Liu Feng's general, has been learning a lot of military theory.

After all, these people are his core group, and as the Tiger Roar Army continues to expand, more officers will be needed.

People like Zhai Shanchuan cannot be let go.

Therefore, Liu Feng's principle is to learn as much as you can, but you can't not learn.

Zhai Shanchuan wasn't harboring any ulterior motives; he was simply focused on his studies.

With his brain, he can't hide anything, and he wouldn't have any bad intentions.

We rushed along the way, and the first place we arrived at was Dasanguan.

From a great distance, they saw a troop of fully armed soldiers coming up, and the officer guarding the city was nearly scared to death.

I thought it was the enemy.

Fortunately, a soldier with good eyesight saw that Liu Feng was walking at the front of the group, and he was relieved.

After all, the troops inside Dasanguan Pass are now insufficient.

That's about half of his peak.

There are currently 10,000 people stationed in Tianyong City.

Although the troops at Dasanguan Pass were numerous, a large portion of them were soldiers stationed for farming, and their combat effectiveness was somewhat inferior to that of the regular army.

Therefore, they were terrified of being attacked by the enemy. It's not surprising that they were extremely tense during such a critical time.

After passing Dasanguan Pass, it was already evening on the third day.

They finally arrived at Luzhou City on the fifth day.

This was the result of the army marching non-stop; under normal circumstances, it would probably take seven days to arrive.

A day earlier, Liu Feng passed by the place where the escort agency had been besieged, and the scattered saltpeter was still faintly visible.

With the aim of not wasting anything, Liu Feng had people collect the scattered saltpeter bit by bit.
