Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 137 Fighting wits and courage
After listening to He Jin's words, Lu Zhi strode directly to the front of the city tower, suddenly displaying a vigorous and resolute spirit.

Lu Zhi took a general look at the Yellow Turban's offensive and the status of the defenders on the tower, and then immediately ordered: "Pass on the general's order, all soldiers are divided into two groups, and take turns to resist the enemy's attack!"

After hearing this, He Jin hurriedly said: "General Lu, is this something wrong? Originally, our army's strength is far less than that of the Yellow Turban rebels. If we divide the soldiers into two groups, how can we defend Luoyang City?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi said angrily: "Confused! General, look at our soldiers, how many of them can draw their bows?"

After hearing this, He Jin looked around at the soldiers on the tower, and a look of shame flashed in his eyes.

He Jin cupped his hands at Lu Zhi and said, "But follow the general's orders!"

Lu Zhi ordered: "Brothers, those who still have the strength to fight, stay here to defend the city. If you have no strength, don't be brave, and quickly retreat to the side to rest. You will have to continue to defend the city after a while!"

In this way, the soldiers of the Northern Army on the city tower and the guards in the officials' homes were divided into two groups, taking turns to defend the city.

Although the number of people has been reduced by half, the strength of defending the city is not much weaker.

In this kind of life-and-death juncture, no one would cheat or play tricks or try to be brave. After all, they didn't think about their own lives, but Luoyang City.

Most of those who stayed on the tower still had some physical strength;
Those who retreated from the city tower to rest were basically exhausted.

In this way, Lu Zhi mobilized half of his troops and showed the effect of all his troops, which made He Jin beside him feel ashamed.

Lu Zhi didn't see the shame on He Jin's face, how could Lu Zhi have the time to pay attention to He Jin now?
Lu Junyi held a fork pole in each of his left and right hands, flipping over one ladder after another.

Wang Baobao at the bottom of the city naturally noticed Lu Junyi, who was killing all directions. Wang Baobao asked from left to right, "Who is that reckless man on the tower?"

But how could the generals under Wang Baobao know Lu Junyi? Liu Zhiyuan, the only one who knew Lu Junyi, was still supervising the battle in the Chinese army.

Seeing that his subordinates did not know Lu Junyi's origin, Wang Baobao ordered: "Order the archers to shoot this reckless man at all costs! In a short period of time, nearly ten ladders have been knocked off by him!"

"No! This subordinate will send someone to shoot this dog officer to death!" A yellow scarf general cupped his hands.

"Go!" Wang Baobao said anxiously.

But Lu Junyi didn't know about this, and he was still pushing hard towards the ladder, but he didn't know that the crisis had quietly approached him.

The yellow scarf archers who received Wang Baobao's order quickly moved towards the downstairs of the Fangcheng where Lu Junyi was.

Under the protection of the shield soldiers, the archers soon moved within a range that could endanger Lu Junyi.

The teeth-stinging sound of drawing the bow sounded, and more than a dozen yellow scarf archers bent their bows and set up arrows, aiming at Lu Junyi.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

There were several sounds of piercing through the air, and more than a dozen arrows shot at Lu Junyi like chasing the stars and the moon.

And Lu Junyi didn't notice this at all, until the arrows appeared in his vision, Lu Junyi discovered these deadly arrows!
But at this moment, there is still no time to hide, more than ten arrows and arrows completely enveloped Lu Junyi, now Lu Junyi will not escape this disaster even if he spreads his wings!
At this juncture, Zhang Quan, He Jin's lieutenant general, threw Lu Junyi down with a leap, but he himself was shot into a hedgehog by an arrow.

Lu Junyi shouted sadly: "Benefactor!"

Seeing this, General He Jin hurried over: "Zhang Quan!"

But Lu Zhi didn't move at all, as if roots had taken root under his feet.

Not to mention He Jin's lieutenant who was shot to death, even if it was Lu Junyi who was shot to death, Lu Zhi would still stick to this place!
Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, and Lu Zhi, who has half his life as a soldier, has already seen through this point.

Even if Zhang Quan died to save Lu Junyi, the gratitude and burial must be done after the battle!
But his son almost died under the cold arrow of the enemy, and it was impossible for Lu Zhi to do nothing.

So Lu Zhi shouted angrily: "Archer, shoot again!"

With Lu Zhi's order, the archers on the tower turned around and shot at the position where the dozen or so archers were.

In an instant, the dozen or so archers and the shield soldiers around them were enveloped by the rain of arrows, and the shield soldiers put down their shields in despair.

With such dense arrows, the shield is completely unstoppable!
In this way, the yellow turban archers who shot cold arrows at Lu Junyi and the shield soldiers protecting these archers all died under the arrows of the soldiers of the Northern Army.

Seeing this, Wang Baobao slapped his thigh fiercely: "Orangutan! It's just a little short!"

The yellow scarf general behind Wang Baobao asked cautiously: "General, do you need to send more archers?"

Wang Baobao shook his head: "No need! Now that reckless man is prepared, sending archers will be useless!"

Looking at the increasingly strict defensive formation on the tower, Wang Baobao also wondered in his heart, could it be that the Han army changed generals just before the battle?
The orderly appearance of the officers and soldiers on the city tower and the strict defense were obviously not arranged by He Jin, a pig butcher.

But with such good generals, why did they change at this juncture?

How could Wang Baobao have thought that Lu Zhi had just been released by the order of Emperor Ling!

Upstairs in Luoyang City, He Jin hugged Zhang Quan's corpse, in great pain.

Lu Junyi saluted Zhang Quan repeatedly, then picked up the two forks again, roared and poured all his anger on the yellow turban ladder.

One ladder after another was overturned by Lu Junyi. At the same time, Lu Junyi also had more eyes, watching all directions and listening to all directions to pay attention to the cold arrows of the Yellow Turban, so as to avoid the tragedy from happening again.

Seeing that the battle was once again in a state of anxiety, Wang Baobao gave an order: "Send an order to the generals of the other three sects, and order them to lead all the troops to attack the city!"

The yellow scarf general behind Wang Baobao asked suspiciously: "General, will you overwhelm everyone now?"

Wang Baobao said indifferently: "Do you want me to say it again?"

The yellow turban general said anxiously: "This subordinate dare not, so I will pass the order!"

Afterwards, the other three gates all called for help from the north gate, saying that the enemy's offensive was too fierce and they couldn't last long!
Seeing this, Lu Zhi shook his head in pain, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Even if Lu Zhi had thousands of volumes of war books in his belly, there was nothing he could do in this situation!

Lu Zhi knew that this was the conspiracy of the enemy general, and he just wanted you to divide your troops to rescue the other three gates. If you divide your troops from the north gate to rescue, then the main attack direction of the Yellow Turban will be transferred to the north gate;

If Lu Zhi didn't send troops to rescue, then any of the other three doors might become the main direction of the enemy's attack!
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhi ordered in a low voice: "Send down the order and remove half of the soldiers at the north gate again."

"General, isn't this inappropriate? Originally, our army is short of troops, and if we withdraw half of them, then..." a general of the northern army on the tower stopped him.

"Hurry up and follow the general's order! If it's too late, we won't be able to keep the other three gates!" Lu Zhi shouted hastily.

Sure enough, after Lu Zhi withdrew half of the guards at the north gate, the offensive of the other gates immediately slowed down.

When Wang Baobao saw that the soldiers at the north gate had withdrawn from the city tower, he did not doubt that he was there, and directly pressed all the troops to attack the north gate.

The screaming yellow turban soldiers tried their best to carry the ladder and shield and rushed towards the north gate. Judging from this posture, it seemed that breaking through the north gate was within a snap of their fingers.

At this time, He Jin said: "General, it's time for the withdrawn brothers to return to the tower, right?"

Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "Wait!"

He Jin asked suspiciously, "When will it be?"

Lu Zhi said decisively: "Wait until the enemy generals have withdrawn the remaining troops, and then let the soldiers come back!"
