Chapter 1386 It Must Be Just a Coincidence

The drums outside the city, representing the attack, were heard not only by Wu Fan and others on the top of the city wall, but also by the people in Fengyu City, the reserve troops under the city wall, and the civil and military officials in the city.

The people stopped to watch one by one, and their eyes were all looking in the direction of the city wall. Their faces were different, some were indifferent, some were worried, and some were excited and expectant.

Of course, the worried ones accounted for the majority.

War is never a good thing for ordinary people. They lack the ability to protect themselves. Once they are involved in the war, their fate is no longer in their own hands. And few people like the feeling of being controlled by others.

As for the many reserve troops under the city wall, they all seemed to be quite worried about the war on the top of the city wall, but in fact they also had their own thoughts in their hearts.

At this time, in a remote corner under the city wall, several generals above the level of lieutenant gathered together.

"What do you think Chen Wende means? Why did he mobilize us together?" One of the lieutenants spoke first.

Because there were no outsiders here, he did not continue to hide anything. The expression on his face was not worry and concern for the defense of the city, but confusion and puzzlement.

"That Chen Wende is just a puppet. Didn't Wu Ya give an order? The troops in the city are now under the command of Wu Fan. I guess this order was also issued by Wu Fan." Another lieutenant said.

"Tell me, why does Wu Fan have so much power when he is so young? He was previously named the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He has no qualifications and no ability. Not to mention Lord Cai, even I am extremely unhappy."

"Why? Just because he made Wu Ya feel comfortable in bed, a pretty boy!" The lieutenant next to him said sarcastically.

Everyone present was envious and jealous of Wu Fan's treatment. Although they said Wu Fan was worthless, in fact, everyone envied Wu Fan in their hearts. He had such power at such a young age, and he was also unclear with an emperor. She was the only female emperor in the entire human continent. Who wouldn't envy him?

"But even if Wu Fan gave this order, why did he give it? Did he find out our identity?" Envy and jealousy can only be put aside for now. What everyone is most concerned about now is naturally the attack and defense of Fengyu City. This is an extremely critical war, a war that can change their fate. They can't help but care about it.

"It should be a coincidence. Yesterday's battle was not going well. Lord Cai's army attacked the city several times. If the situation continues to develop, Fengyu City will not be able to hold on for long. Wu Fan must have been anxious and gathered some soldiers who can fight into a team, hoping to better exert their combat effectiveness."

"I also think it is a coincidence. We hid very well. Even in yesterday's battle, we did our best. Wu Fan could not have discovered our identities. To put it another way, if Wu Fan really discovered our identities, he would have led people to surround and kill us long ago. How could he let us stay in the city?"

"Yes, I agree with your point of view."

Everyone nodded, even the general who had doubted Wu Fan's motives before, felt in his heart that this matter was probably a coincidence, otherwise, they would never have survived at this time.

"That's good." One of the generals laughed and said, "Most of the troops left by Lord Cai in the city have been mobilized together. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for us to act when Lord Cai gives the order."

"Yes, this Wu Fan has helped us a lot, haha."

"Will Wu Fan be furious when he knows our true identity?"

"Furious? I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to breathe. Once Lord Cai enters the city, he will be dead!"

"Yes, he even dared to kill Lord Cai's nephew. Once Lord Cai enters the city, he will be killed without a complete body!"

"I'm worried now that the garrison in the city is too weak. Even if Lord Cai doesn't use us, he can break through the city gate and enter the city. If that happens, we will lose the opportunity to perform."

"Yes, without the opportunity to make merit, we may get nothing when Lord Cai ascends the throne to reward merit. ”

“How about? We take the initiative to do something?”

“This is not good. Before leaving the city, Lord Cai specifically notified us not to act rashly and wait for his orders. If we act on our own, Lord Cai might be angry. ”

“I think we can give it a try. As long as we succeed in the end, Lord Cai will not blame us.”

“But if we act on our own, will it ruin Lord Cai’s business?”

“Yes, I am also worried about this. If we ruin Lord Cai’s business, it will be over.”

“What can be ruined? Lord Cai has already occupied a great advantage. The defenders in the city can’t make any waves. Their attention is also on Lord Cai and his people outside the city. How can they pay attention to us?”

Everyone was talking about it. The topic had unconsciously shifted from why they were mobilized by Wu Fan to whether they should take the initiative to attack, do something, and make some contributions.

Originally, everyone was prepared to carry out Cai Cheng's orders to the letter, but when they saw Cai Cheng's army rushing to the top of the city several times on the first day of the siege, many people became anxious.

They were left in the city by Cai Cheng to act as insiders, ready to take action at the critical moment, and cooperate with Cai Cheng's army to help Cai Cheng's army capture Fengyu City.

They have been following Cai Cheng's orders and hiding in the garrison in the city. However, after seeing the situation on the first day of the offensive and defensive battle, they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity to take action at all. Cai Cheng led his men to break through the city gate and enter the city. In that case, they would be very safe and enjoy the fruits of victory directly in the end, but they would also lose the opportunity to make merit.

After Cai Cheng won, he would definitely reward them according to their merits. How could they get rewards without merit? I am afraid that when the court structure changes drastically in the future, they will not get any benefits. Such a situation is definitely not what they want to see.

Therefore, some people became restless and began to stir.

But there are still some people who keep Cai Cheng's orders in mind and want to continue to lie dormant. They don't want to take the initiative before receiving Cai Cheng's orders. They are afraid of ruining Cai Cheng's big plan. In that case, their end must be miserable. They will either be killed by Wu Ya or severely punished by Cai Cheng.

Both ideas have their supporters.
