Lu Qian looked at the blue skua flag in confusion.
In the direction of Haojing, whether it is the palace guard or the general's palace, there is no such news in the information sent through the falcon?
Perhaps, these days, my marching speed is getting faster and faster, and the information is still on the way, so I failed to deliver it in time!
No matter what happened, since Dong Qi Bo's flag was raised in Wuzhou City, Lu Qian could not ignore it.
A low horn sounded, and hundreds of scout teams left the army and dispersed in all directions.
The 100,000 Yulin Army's heavy cavalry turned their horses' heads, formed dozens of small square formations, and slowly pressed towards Wuzhou City.
The 300,000 Leopard Assault Cavalry spread out to the two wings and formed a layer-by-layer guerrilla array, tightly protecting the left and right wings of Lu Qian's army and the rear army.
Four hundred thousand troops seemed to be a small number, but when the four hundred thousand cavalry were arranged in military formations, the mighty military formations spread out for tens of miles to the left and to the left, and were more than ten miles deep, like a dark cloud, pouring toward Wuzhou City.
past.
Outside the city of Wuzhou is a large area of fertile farmland, with more than a dozen villages and towns dotted within tens of miles from the city.
As soon as the army moved, the villages and towns suddenly became agitated. The villagers fearfully walked out of the villages and towns, carrying incense, candles and cauldrons, and worshiped the army at the intersection.
A military judge came forward, led by cavalry, and expelled all the people from more than a dozen villages and towns. They set up a temporary camp and imprisoned tens of thousands of people there.
The heavy horseshoes trampled the ridges of the fields, crushed the rice seedlings, and trampled the fertile fields into fine pieces.
The heavily armored warriors and their mounts knocked down and trampled the trees along the way. They walked slowly and gradually arrived six miles away from the city. The generals in the queue shouted loudly, and the cavalry in the front row tightened their reins.
, stopped.
As a state city, the city wall specifications of Wuzhou City are only slightly worse than those of the Imperial City.
The sixty-four-foot-high pale golden city wall is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint light under the sunlight.
Lu Qian and others approached Wuzhou City from the east. On the city wall, countless heavily armored crossbowmen appeared one after another, aiming their strong bows and crossbows at the army outside the city. There were also heavy crossbows stacked from the city wall.
The child leaned out, and the giant arrow cluster nearly a foot long reflected a dazzling cold light.
Those ordinary crossbows were okay. They were thrown downwards on the city wall, and their range was no more than a mile at most.
However, according to Dayin's armament standards, on the 64-foot-high city wall, the maximum range of these heavy-duty crossbows used for city defense has exceeded five miles.
It's six miles away from the city, which is considered a relatively safe distance.
If you get any closer, you are likely to be hit by the heavy bed crossbows on the city wall. Even the average Tuo Pulse Realm master cannot stop the bed crossbow bolts fired from the 64-foot-high city wall.
Ordinary soldiers, even if they are wearing heavy armor, will be injured or die if they are touched.
Lu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at the heavily armored soldiers on the city wall for a while, then waved forward and muttered a few words in a low voice.
A lieutenant colonel jumped off his mount and strode towards the city wall.
Six miles...five miles...four miles...three miles...
There was no movement on the city wall. The famous captain strode to a place less than a mile away from the city, raised his voice and shouted: "According to the emperor's order, Tianyang Gong Lu unified the army to suppress the rebellion... You and I
…”
A chuckle came from the city wall.
There was a loud bang, and the three heavy-duty crossbows suddenly shook. Nine heavy-duty crossbow arrows, which were almost as thick as an adult's wrist and about a foot long, fired towards the captain with a dull sound of breaking through the air.
The captain reacted very quickly. When he saw a flash of cold light on the city wall, he immediately fell to the side and rolled with a 'swish', quickly rolling seven or eight feet away.
The nine crossbow arrows almost brushed against the captain's body and fell heavily to the ground.
The soft soil outside the city could not stop the force of the crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrow, which was more than a foot long, almost completely submerged into the ground, leaving only a few inches of the pole exposed.
The trumpet of the Chinese army sounded, and the captain, who had narrowly escaped death, stood up, faced the city wall, and quickly ran back towards the direction of the Chinese army.
A civil servant wearing a purple robe and a long beard leaned out from the city wall and looked towards Lu Qian's military position.
Among Lu Qian's ceremonial guards were the nine-curved Qingluo umbrella given by the emperor, and dozens of large banners fluttering in the wind. You can accurately find Lu Qian by looking at where the Qingluo umbrella is and where the banners are densest.
The location of the Chinese army.
The purple-robed civil servant looked around for a while and raised his voice: "Commander outside the city? Tianyang Gong Lu? Haha, I have never heard of this name. Among the Dukes of Dayin, only Jingyang Lu Shilai
In the lineage of the Duke, where did the Duke of Tianyang appear again?"
This purple-robed official had good cultivation. Even though he was six miles away, his voice floated and carried along with the wind, allowing Lu Qian and others to hear it clearly.
Next to Lu Qian, Yu Dianhu said angrily: "Master, this guy is obviously insulting you... The fact that you and Tianen Gong were granted the title of Duke has been made known to the world by the imperial court for a long time. How long has it been since?
I don’t know.”
Lu Qian waved his hand and said calmly: "He dares to collude with Uncle Dong Qi to rebel and insult me. What does it mean?"
With a hard slap on the head of the Black Cloud Beast, the Black Cloud Beast raised its two front hooves, roared extremely happily, then suddenly lowered its head and accelerated, bringing up a gust of wind and rushing towards Wuzhou City.
Yu Diaihu exclaimed: "Master... you can't help it... we don't have any siege equipment, we can't attack this city!"
The entire army under the command of Lu Qian was made up of cavalry.
Anyone with a little knowledge of military knowledge will know that it is extremely difficult for cavalry to attack a city.
Although the city wall of Wuzhou City is far inferior to that of Haojing, the 64-foot-high city wall makes it impossible for ordinary soldiers to climb up without the help of giant siege equipment.
Even if there were enough siege equipment, facing such a high city wall, God knows how many casualties it would take to capture the city.
Yu Diaihu wanted to hold Lu Qian, but the Black Cloud Beast was too fast. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the Dark Cloud Beast had already ran for several miles, almost jumping over the hundred-foot-wide moat, and smashed its head directly against the city wall.
superior.
Lu Qian finally pulled the reins, and the Dark Cloud Beast snorted dissatisfiedly, and stopped dangerously at the edge of the moat.
On the city wall, at least two hundred crossbowmen were so frightened by the speed of the Black Cloud Beast that their hands trembled. With a "whoosh" sound, more than a hundred arrows fell densely on their heads, heading straight for Lu Qian and the Black Cloud Beast.
Lu Qian flipped his left hand, and in his mind, the image of a man with three eyes lit up slightly, and the wind dragon in his hand erupted with a dazzling blue light.
A strong wind rose from the ground beside Lu Qian, and there was a "clatter" sound. More than a hundred arrows were blown crookedly by the wind, missed more than ten feet, and were densely stuck on the ground. Even Lu Qian and the Black Cloud Beast
Not even a hair could touch it.
Lu Qian raised his head, looked at the purple-robed official on the city wall whose expression suddenly changed, and said coldly: "Now, do you know who I am? I don't care why you took refuge with Uncle Dong Qi, but you still haven't stopped.
Wan... I will give you a stick of incense time to open the city gate and leave the city to surrender."
"If you are stubborn and restless, you will go all the way to the dark side... Haha, don't blame me for my thunderous methods. All of you will end up being killed."
The purple-robed official squinted his eyes and leaned most of his body out from the battlements of the city wall.
He looked down at Lu Qian and sneered: "Tian Yang Gong... Lu Qian. Do you think this is Haojing, the place where your palace guard can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, this is Wuzhou, where I...
"
Lu Qian suddenly waved his right hand.
The silver dragon sword jumped out from the Beiming Ring, and with a clang of the sword, it turned into a line of silver light several feet long and rose into the sky. In an instant, it was in front of the purple-robed official, and when it circled around his neck, he saw blood and light everywhere.
Splash, a head fell from the city wall.
With a 'dong' sound, the head fell into the moat, and a group of fish and turtles suddenly jumped out, frantically fighting for the bloody head.
Lu Qian let out a long roar, and with a long silver light, the silver dragon sword swung along the city wall from south to north, curling up.
In just three breaths, there were constant sounds of "chichi" coming from the city wall.
On the three-mile-long city wall, more than a thousand crossbowmen clinging to the buttresses of the city wall made muffled groans one after another, dropped their weapons one by one, and covered their necks tightly.
Blood spurted out from between their fingers, and more than a thousand crossbowmen staggered for a while with unbelievable confusion before falling heavily on the city wall.
There was an uproar on the west wall of Wuzhou City, with countless soldiers screaming and the sound of running footsteps heard.
Someone was shouting: "The evil method, the evil method...Zhou Mu is dead, Zhou Mu is dead!"
"Master Song is dead. Master Song was killed using evil methods."
"Run away quickly, many brothers have been killed by evil spells..."
The silver dragon sword killed thousands of officers and soldiers. They were all bright and clean, without any trace of blood. The silver light whirled in the air and turned straight back. Lu Qian shook his left hand, opened his sleeves, and the silver dragon sword was like a bird flying into the forest, and disappeared into the sleeve.
Another purple-robed official appeared on the city wall. He jumped directly onto the city wall and shouted in a hissing voice: "Quiet, no chaos... All soldiers should stay in their positions. If you dare to move or run around, shouting will shake the morale of the army."
Those who are killed will be killed without mercy!"
With a gloomy face, the purple-robed official looked down at Lu Qian and said coldly: "Mr. Tianyang, what a great trick, I really didn't expect... But, with your own strength, how dare you go against my Zhuge family?"
He pointed at Lu Qian and sneered: "I don't know how much you can overestimate your self-esteem. It's like a mantis's arm is like a chariot!"
Lu Qian looked up at him.
Beside the purple-robed officials, dozens of swordsmen from the Haojian Palace emerged wearing white robes, their entire bodies covered in snow-white, with swords on their waists.
They looked down at Lu Qian from a high position, their faces full of arrogance and arrogance that looked down upon Lu Qian.
Lu Qian smiled: "Who are you? Are you from the Zhuge family?"
The purple-robed official said coldly: "My officer, Zhuge Suiming, is the envoy to conquer Wuzhou."
According to the Dayin official system, a state's expeditionary envoy was in charge of a state's military affairs. He was the nominal supreme commander of a state. Both the imperial garrison and the city defense force that emerged later were nominally under his control and mobilization.
The Wuzhou expeditionary envoy was a member of the Zhuge family, and judging by his name, he should be a brother of the same generation as Zhuge Mingming and Zhuge Duming.
It is conceivable how Wuzhou City surrendered to Dong Qibo.
