Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 141 Shuzhou City Falls
Chang Side personally led two hundred elite soldiers from the imperial battalion to climb up the tower.

The well-trained imperial battalion divisions lined up small spear formations in the shelters that the pioneers seized with blood, and they entered one by one like a wall.

Chang Side, as the leader of the formation, stepped forward step by step, shouting with each step.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The sharp spears harvested fresh lives as the soldiers stabbed vigorously.

Zhu Lingyun was drenched in blood, and cut the enemy in front of him to the ground with a single knife.

Panting heavily, he also noticed the situation on the right city wall.

Zhang Hong is in charge over there, and now that the chaos is like this, it is likely that people are gone.

Zhu Lingyun is proficient in military affairs and knows that if the situation on the right city wall is not stabilized in time, there will be a breakthrough, and a large number of Zhou soldiers will rush to the top of the city, and the situation will be out of control.

"If you can still move, kill me!"

Zhu Lingyun dropped the shield in his hand to the ground, picked up a knife from the ground, and used it as a double wield.

From top to bottom, it was almost as if he had been fished out of blood. His whole body was red and purple, exuding an amazing will to fight.

The surrounding soldiers were deeply infected, and they held up their weapons and shouted: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"

Holding two sabers in hand, Zhu Lingyun rushed to the right city wall first.

The pair of knives fluttered left and right, cutting down Zhou Bing one after another who were blocking in front of him, as if killing a god, and directly confronted Chang Side's Imperial Guard Division.

Seeing that Zhu Lingyun was very brave, Chang Side laughed loudly: "The person who comes here can report his name, and the nameless ghost will never die under Chang Side's gun in Kaifeng."

A stern look flashed in Zhu Lingyun's eyes, and he replied, "Zhu Lingyun from Shuzhou!"

He has already seen the extraordinaryness of the opponent's army, no wonder the defeat here is so complete.

Thinking that the soldiers behind him were exhausted from fighting for a long time, in such a state, facing such elites, they would be dead or alive.

It's better to behead the opponent's general and take his guts first.

Zhu Lingyun was extremely confident in his martial arts, and went to Chang Side without hesitation.

The two knives in his hands were one front and one back, one attack and one defense, and the knife in his right hand went straight to Chang Side's face.

Chang Side strode forward, stabbing straight with the long spear in his hand, simple and powerful, and pointed at Zhu Lingyun's face first.

Zhu Lingyun's disadvantage was that the weapon was not long enough, but he reacted quickly, and immediately switched from attack to defense, crossing his swords, causing the spear to deviate from the direction, and pierced it from the ear, parrying the powerful blow.

And he himself took the opportunity to quickly bully him.

This is a fight with a long spear, close proximity is the top priority!

However, just as he was approaching quickly, two long spears on the left and right behind Chang Side stabbed suddenly.

Zhu Lingyun's soul flew out of the sky, but he had already exerted all his strength, and there was no way to hide, as if he had bumped into a spear, he was directly pierced by the two spears.

Since the imperial battalion division formed an army, Luo Youdu did not advocate individual use of force to show off one's strength, and killing the enemy in front of the battle is a matter for the entire army, not just one person.

The team cooperates with each other to fight more and fight less, which is the core tactic of the imperial battalion division against the enemy in battle.

Zhu Lingyun obviously made a mistake...

Or maybe Chang Side, who wandered around the pier like a half gangster, did it on purpose.

Chang Side didn't give Zhu Lingyun a chance to speak, he fired a deadly shot, then directly lifted Zhu Lingyun up with force with both hands, and flung him violently.

The corpses flew out like cannonballs, knocking down more than ten people.

People turn their backs!

It's not that Chang Side can't fight, it's just that he pays more attention to the whole team than to show off individual bravery.

In this regard, he is exactly the opposite of Zhang Qiong.

Therefore, compared to Zhang Qiong, who is easy to get ahead and often loses touch with the army because of rushing too fast when breaking through the formation to kill the enemy, Luo Youdu now pays more attention to cultivating Chang Side.

As for Zhang Qiong, he is loyal and brave, and he is a good fighter in charge.

He usually acts as a guard, and when needed, he is assigned soldiers and horses to lead the charge.

Anyway, no matter who he takes, he is easy to get out of touch.Anyway, no matter who he leads, he can inspire morale with his bravery.

With Zhu Lingyun's death, the Southern Tang soldiers in Shuzhou City lost their souls. No matter how difficult it is to organize a decent counterattack, the soldiers either surrendered or fled.

The fortified battle of Shuzhou City has come to an end.

On the earth mountain, Luo Youdu listened to Zhang Zhong's account of the strange situation they encountered.

"I don't know where the soldiers came from. The number is not large, it looks like more than a thousand. I thought I could fight a good battle, but I didn't expect to scare them away before they got into the bow and arrow range."

A trace of pride flashed in Zhang Zhong's eyes. After all, he was under [-] years old, young and energetic, and thought that the other party was scared away by them.

Luo Youdu didn't point it out either.

He is full of expectations for Zhang Xiong's future, but in terms of the current combat effectiveness of the soldiers in his hands, it is far from scaring away the enemy.

They are composed of a group of people who can't eat enough to eat, and they can only break out a certain fighting power when they are living or dying.Now the overall strength is not even at the level of normal soldiers, and needs to be honed through training and actual combat.

Handing over the rear to Zhang Xiong is to trust his calmness and perseverance. At the same time, the transportation of logistics personnel and the operation of food require good sailors.It was because they were good at maneuvering boats that they collected food and grass for Chen Chengzhao.

Luo Youdu's real reliance is Shi Shouxin's cavalry.

In field battles, Shi Shouxin's cavalry is the strongest force in his hands, and he can immediately go to the rear camp to rescue.

What the other party was really afraid of should be Shi Shouxin's cavalry.

Even Shi Shouxin's cavalry were counted.

It's not easy!

Shi Shouxin, who was at the side of the formation, wondered, "Where did the soldiers come from?"

Luo Youdu judged: "It may be Shuzhou's reinforcements, or the Southern Tang Army that retreated from Guangzhou and Qizhou, but it is not Shouzhou's rescue force anyway."

If it is the rescue force in Shouzhou, the number cannot be less than [-] to [-].

If there are really 3 or [-] people, firstly, they can't hide it from themselves, and secondly, they won't be so cowardly.

The two thousand cavalry that the other party feared Shi Shouxin would not be many in number.

But it is by no means that there are only more than a thousand people.

"Brother, you lead Qianqi to chase after the opponent in the direction of retreat, and see if you can touch the tail. Pay attention, the opponent may still hide a specific number of people, it should be someone."

Shi Shouxin heard the seriousness in Luo Youdu's tone, and went directly down the dirt hill, leading the cavalry.

Attacking instead of fighting, do you want to cut off your own retreat, encircle Wei and save Zhao?

wrong!

Luo Youdu realized that the opponent was heading to Luzhou. Luzhou is now at its emptiest, with only two hundred regular troops.

But he left Pan Mei there...

Pan Mei's EQ is extremely high, and Luo Youdu believes that he can coordinate the relationship between the gentry and residents of Luzhou. If they really encounter an attack, with the help of some gentry residents, they can support them until they come back.

But there is no doubt that Luzhou is indeed his weakest point at the moment.

Luo Youdu thought of the ruthless characters in the Southern Tang Dynasty who performed amazingly in the Battle of Huainan in history, and he couldn't guess who it was for a while.

do not care!
Looking at Shuzhou that has already been won, Luo Youdu feels relieved, at least he has seized the initiative in the battle.
