.Lu Gao led a large army to attack Jiyang County. The first one to launch the attack was not Lu Gao's headquarters.
After conquering one county, two more counties in the eleven counties surrendered. At this time, they had reliance and were much smoother when they broke through Jiyang County.
However, in a county, it was not only the county town that had heavy troops to guard. When Lu Gao advanced to the county town, he also sent several teams to attack other county towns that did not surrender.
Xiacun Town is one of the gateways of a certain vassal state in Jiyang County.
Although Luoyang troops were stationed in the town, the army was facing destruction at this time.
"Boom!" A huge rock drew a long arc in the air and bombarded heavily on the wall of Xiacun Town.
The town has a small population, because it is a military checkpoint. The city is built more solid and heavier than the county town. A few throws of stones, but only bursts out layers of gravel and does not burst out a gap in the city wall for a while.
"Shoot the powerful crossbowman, shoot me!" Luoyang crossbowmen, who had long been ambushing the commanding heights on both sides, shot out the crossbows in their hands. For a moment, the soldiers who rushed to the front of the town retreated one after another, threw down a piece of corpse, and retreated outside the range of the crossbow.
Xiacun Town was built in a narrow place, two weeks ago, and it was a slightly higher hill. The town was built here as if it was built in a narrow gap in a valley, and thus it was named.
Such places are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and they are at the rear gate of the county city. If you do not capture this level, you cannot surround the county city.
The retreat of this great army gave Luoyang army an opportunity to take advantage of it, and even opened the city to pursue it. The intention was not to kill the enemy, but to destroy or even rob the thunder chariot.
The Luoyang Army was elite at this time, with a large number of people, with crossbows, and with the momentum of victory before, chasing all the way, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.
However, Dachengjun responded very quickly.
"Raising the shield!"
With a command, a large army raised their shields to block their comrades.
There was another team of musket soldiers who quickly arranged muskets, supported them in the gaps in the shield, and aimed at the Luoyang army that was chasing.
A crisp sound of "papapapapapa" overshadowed the shouts of killing and rang on the battlefield.
A faint smoke filled the line of Luoyang troops chasing the front row, blood splattered. Although there was dodging, dozens of people in front were shot and were beaten so hard that they staggered back and fell out.
The remaining Luoyang army continued to move forward.
"Hand fire and thunder, throw it!" Dachengjun gave another order.
More than a dozen soldiers from large army shouted at the same time, and more than a dozen hands, fire thunders emitting thick smoke, cut through the air and flew towards the Luoyang army.
A few "boom" sounds, thick smoke soared into the sky, floating in the sky for a long time.
There were soldiers who could not dodge at the Luoyang Army, and were blown up to the point of blood. Seeing this situation, the Luoyang Army suddenly became panicked.
To be honest, the hand fire thunder of this era is not so much the explosive power as the sound of explosions and the huge smoke.
You can also use burning to exert your strength on the ship, but it is scary on land.
Just when they were in a panic, another gunshot sounded, and the Luoyang army in front fell down. After this attack, the camp finally became in chaos and retreated.
On the gazebo in the town, a group of people looked at the scene from afar.
Xie Ying, the general in charge, looked silently. Although he successfully repelled the enemy, his face was not filled with joy.
"The magic weapon of the Dacheng Army is indeed very impressive!" He sighed. He had heard that the Dacheng Army was not only strong in the navy, but also in the army, and what he saw was true at this time.
It’s a pity that I didn’t grab the Thunder Car this time. You know, if you win one, get promoted to the third level, you will have a thousand taels of gold. This has been publicly rewarded.
Of course, the Xiacun Town we guarded has a natural advantage. Even if it uses huge rocks to attack the city, the progress is not big for the time being, and it is very difficult to completely repel this enemy.
This stalemate is naturally not good for defending the city. However, there is news from Luoyang that can be withdrawn if it is delayed for a month.
Xie Ying believes that the combat effectiveness of soldiers is only somewhat deficient than that of Dacheng Army. Now, one defense and one attack have made up for the disadvantages.
Thinking of this, Xie Ying's face eased a little: "Send the order. If there is such a situation next time, if I don't issue a military order, I will not be allowed to pursue it, otherwise military law will be carried out!"
"……promise!"
In the distance, a large number of cavalry stood quietly. These cavalry were all wearing leather armor, with long bows and long swords, maintaining a strict marching array.
Under the flying flag, Wu Xingzong stared at it.
Wu Xingzong was wearing heavy armor. He was in his twenties and was full of majesty in his eyes.
Several cavalry rushed over and rushed to the big flag. Geng'an was dismissed and reported: "The commander, Xiacun Town has strict defenses and strong resistance, and dared to go out of the city to fight..."
Wu Xingzong snorted and said nothing.
At this time, a general asked: "Sir, should you ask for help from the rear and send more soldiers to assist in the attack?"
It is not a good thing that elites die in the siege.
Wu Xingzong observed for a long time and showed a sneer: "No need, I will have my own opinions!"
Just as the war in Xiacun Town continued to tug-of-war, Lu Gao led the main army, passing through the hurdles and striving forward continuously.
At this time, there is still a distance away from the county town of Jiyang County.
This army, walking in front and behind, was full of cavalry and had a large number of guard patrols.
Inside, various infantry soldiers are protected in the middle, and are transported by thunder chariots and supply chariots.
In front of him was a cavalry in black armor, surrounded by Lu Gao, who was riding on a horse, holding the reins in his hand, looking forward.
Lu Gaowei pursed his lips, was burly, wearing exquisite armor and red robe. Some of them were exposed from the armor and contrasted with each other. Although they looked tired, they made their power more obvious.
Behind Lu Gao, there were cavalrymen wearing black armor. At this time, the general and the school got the news and came to Lu Gao and reported to him: "General, after the checkpoint in front of him, the county city is here."
"Oh?" Lu Gao sat steadily and took the monocular lens from his guards. He could clearly see the city that could be seen in the distance.
However, this level is not so easy to attack. If you don’t knock this level down, it will be troublesome to approach the county city.
Thinking of this, he made some arrangements and continued to lead people forward.
"Is there any news coming from Xiacun Town?" As we approached the level, people stopped for a while, Lu Gao asked.
"General, there is no news yet..." Before the captain finished his words, a fast horse followed the team. Because the visitor was carrying a sign of Dacheng Army's messenger, the people behind him took him to Lu Gao's horse.
"General, our army has captured Xiacun Town!" As soon as he arrived in front of Lu Gao's horse, the person who came turned over and knelt down and said excitedly.
"So fast? Tell me quickly, how did you capture Xiacun Town!" Lu Gao was startled, then happy, and asked.
"Yes!" The visitor did not hide it and quickly told the attack process of Xiacun Town.
Simply put, it is to "build a plank road openly and travel through Chen Cang secretly."
It was very difficult to attack Xiacun Town. Before arriving here, Wu Xingzong sent people to inquire about the nearby mountain doors and finally found a mountain path that was difficult to walk on.
So on the one hand, he sent people to attack the city continuously, and on the other hand, he sent a team to personally lead the mountain road. Taking advantage of the night, he sent someone to climb over the wall and enter the city. He took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and kill him. He responded to the inside and outside, and took down Xiacun Town in one fell swoop.
The time before and after only one day and one night.
"Okay!" Hearing this, Lu Gao showed a hint of joy on his face and praised the people around him: "Wu Xing Zong is really amazing. He can capture this town one day and one night, and he can remember great achievements."
Others nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"General, will we attack the city immediately?" someone asked.
"Strike the city immediately and quickly take the level and head straight to the county city! I believe that at that time, the other troops will have gained something!" Lu Gao said: "When the army is under the city, we will defeat this city in one fell swoop."
"Yes!" Under this order, the army began to attack the city.
The level is strong, there are not many defenders, and they rely on only natural advantages.
Most of the thunder chariots in this army are concentrated here. At this time, a command was made, twenty of them are bombing together.
"Boom boom boom!" Just half an hour later, after a series of loud noises, a city wall fell down in the dust and gravel in the sky. Suddenly, the Dacheng army cheered together, deafeningly, and rushed over.
After an hour, the situation in this city basically stabilized.
Although there were still remnants of forces resisting stubbornly and defeating one by one under the heavy blow of the army, the army only stayed here for a while and made some arrangements and deployments. Lu Gao led the army to the next target, the county town of Jiyang County!
In the county town of Jiyang County, a meeting was being held in a conference hall of the county magistrate's office.
Cheng Dayu, the general who was appointed by Zheng Guogong, sat on his head, and sat with his knees on his knees. He stood on his left, and a group of civil servants and staff standing on his right.
Someone was reporting the situation outside the city, and after saying that, the hall became quiet.
After a moment, Cheng Dayu said with a expressionless expression on his face: "Duke Zheng is not bad to us. Now it is time for us to contribute to the Duke. The city is here, and I am here. The city is here. I am here. The Dacheng army has approached the city. Everyone should work together to guard the city together. Who dares to have a strange intention? Don't blame someone for not thinking about the old love!"
Seeing that the Lord General was so tough, others had to listen without saying a word. At this time, resisting the discrimination would be a dead end.
Cheng Dayu didn't expect them to be truly united. As long as he was so scared that he didn't dare to secretly communicate with the enemy, he would be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dayu's eyes swept at the generals present.
These are all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and he can still trust this matter.
The one who was sent to patrol the city was also his confidant.
He was about to say something when he heard a loud "boom" outside.
"The Dacheng Army has begun to attack the city. As I have arranged the arrangement, everyone will start immediately." After saying this, Cheng Dayu led a few generals to the other side of the city.
The rest of the people looked at each other and set out on their own. Some began to maintain patrol the city's orders, while others began to set up defenses in other places.
Outside the county town, Lu Gao stood in the distance and looked at the county town silently.
