Horse on the World

Chapter 487
Lu Weixiong looked at the Dingzhou military flag that suddenly appeared on the top of Linzhao City, and the general standing under that military flag triumphantly gesticulating, and there was a buzzing in his head, no matter where this army came from Yes, it is fatal to me. I am leading an army of more than [-] people, including a lot of luggage and property. It is impossible to go over mountains and mountains, let alone detour, everyone knows , behind him at this time, Zhui Ming Wu Chang is approaching step by step.If Lin Zhao could not be taken down and the passage opened in a short time, then the entire army would be wiped out.

"The cavalry dismounted and prepared to attack the city!" Lu Weixiong said dryly.

Standing on the tower, Zheng Zhiqiang was not as complacent as Lu Weixiong thought, but was pointing at their targets for several crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen quietly pointed the eight-ox crossbow at the large crossbow. The few generals under the banner are a little far apart, and they can barely reach the range, but as long as they hit, it is not a problem to kill him.

Just when Lu Weixiong decisively ordered the cavalry to dismount and prepare their weapons to attack the city, several eight-ox crossbows buzzed at the same time, and the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm drew a black line in the air and rushed straight towards them.

The unique whistling sound of the eight-ox crossbow was particularly ear-piercing on the battlefield. Lu Weixiong's personal guards were not idiots, they could find out who the eight-ox crossbow was targeting with just a glance.

Several personal guards immediately rode their horses to stand in front of Lu Weixiong, barely blocking the route of the Ba Niu Crossbow, the deadly crossbow arrived in front of him, and the person in the front was pierced by the Ba Niu Crossbow before he even had time to raise his shield, and his body was pierced by the Ba Niu Crossbow. A huge impact force belt flew up and hit the guards behind him heavily. There was chaos under the banner, and several people rolled off their horses. However, the other two eight-ox crossbows slightly missed the target and brushed the banner far away. They flew out, howled a few times, and a few unlucky ghosts were shot down.

Zheng Zhiqiang was overjoyed. On the top of the tower, he only saw several people fall under the banner, and he didn't know if Lu Weixiong had won the lottery. It was really troublesome to twist the old eight-ox crossbow. Several soldiers used their strength to twist the crossbow. When they looked up at the flag, they found that he had stepped back dozens of steps and had already escaped. The range of the eight-ox crossbow is gone.

Lu Weixiong was not injured, but he was also in a panic. The soldiers in front of him blocked the crossbow arrows for him, but in the chaos, he was also knocked off the horse, fell to the ground, his helmet fell off, his hair was disheveled, and he was so angry Darkness in front of my eyes.

"Siege the city, take down Linzhao before it gets dark!" He drew out his waist knife and slashed fiercely on the ground.

The northern army did not prepare siege equipment, but fortunately Linzhao is not a big city, it is just a small county town. It took less than an hour for the army under the city to cut down a large number of trees and make it into a simple The ladder, hitting the wood, as for the siege vehicle, Mengchong vehicle and so on, then don't think about it.

On the city, Zheng Zhiqiang's navy and marines were also making final preparations. They stripped off the armor of the original defenders in the city and the cavalry who had just entered the city and were annihilated, and put them on themselves. They were all wearing armor. In order to reduce the burden when they set off, they all took off their armor on the navy ship. At this time, they had to fight hand-to-hand. The gap between armored and unarmored was obvious. Increase your chances of surviving.Although they really didn't like the armor of the Northern Army, especially the original Linzhao defenders, most of whom were made of leather armor, but at this time they couldn't care less.

Half a day was enough for Zheng Zhiqiang to prepare enough weapons for defending the city. On the top of the city, there were already piles of stones and lumber. up.

The cavalry under the city began to gallop along the city wall on horseback. The cavalry immediately shot at the city with bows and arrows.

"Brothers, the food is here, let's serve it!" Zheng Zhiqiang roared, half-kneeling behind the wall, he pulled out his first-grade bow steadily, and shot an arrow, a cavalry under the city let out a miserable cry, and fell off his horse. .

Under the city, arrows flew like rain, but above the city, the soldiers of the Marine Corps shot out arrow after arrow in an orderly manner. Their first-grade bows had a longer range and were extremely stable. Zheng Zhiqiang was even more exaggerated in taking a life or making the opponent lose his combat power. Half-kneeling behind the battlements, he almost ignored the rain of arrows under the city. When he fell down, it wasn't that he had become a golden bell-covered iron cloth shirt, but that his elder brother Zheng Zhiyuan was worried about his safety before he set off, so he gave him the refined steel armor that can only be equipped at his level , this kind of armor is extremely thin, and it can be seen from the outside when it is covered by clothes, but its protective performance is far superior to that of ordinary armor. Even the armor-piercing arrows produced in Dingzhou are helpless if they do not go a certain distance. .

The soldiers under the city didn't know the details, and they couldn't help being shocked and inexplicable when they saw this scene. Seeing that this man was shot by arrow after arrow, but nothing happened. Morale fell to the bottom for a moment.

Zheng Zhiqiang only has more than [-] people, but fortunately, Linzhao City is small, and the opponent is not prepared for a tough battle, relying on some simple siege weapons, he wants to take down an army with strong combat power and will like the Marine Corps in a short time The possibility of the garrisoned city is extremely small. Although Lu Weixiong personally supervised the battle, and the waves of attacks never stopped since the afternoon, Linzhao City still stood stubbornly in front of him.

In Shenzhou City, Lu Zhaoting rushed into Lu Fengchun's study in a hurry, "Father, it's not good, it's not good!" with an exasperated look on his face.

Lu Fengchun frowned, and put down the scroll in his hand, "What's the fuss about, Zhao Ting, you're not too young, you're still so restless!"

"Father, I just received the news that Weizhou has fallen. Uncle led a team to retreat. Li Qing chased after him. We, our family members in Weizhou were all caught by Li Qing!" Lu Zhaoting said anxiously, the two With red eyes, his mother, that is, Lu Fengchun's wife, as well as his own wife and children, are all missing, presumably they have fallen into Li Qing's hands.

Lu Fengchun said slowly: "This matter has long been expected!"

"Father, mother, and my wife and children are all lost!" Lu Zhaoting almost cried.

"Shut up!" Lu Fengchun slapped the table violently, "Father knows, and my heart hurts too, but at this time, I can't be messed up. What's more, I have already prepared for this day!"

"Man, man, as long as you are still alive, why don't you have a wife, why don't you have children? I'm really disappointed that you lost your composure like this!" Lu Fengchun said every word.

Lu Zhaoting looked at his father in disbelief, and murmured something, but he didn't utter a single syllable.

"Zhao Ting, you still have to practice a lot!" Lu Fengchun sighed, "There are some things that I can tell you now!"

"Father!" Lu Zhaoting looked at Lu Fengchun suspiciously.

"Sit down!" Lu Fengchun pointed to a chair next to him.

"In the past few months, although Dad has been driving troops to attack Quanying's defense line, he has not really exerted his strength, and the troops he has driven are not our core combat strength. Do you know why?" Lu Fengchun asked.

"Even if we try our best, we may not be able to break through Quanying's defense line. Even if we break through, it will be a tragic victory. After returning, we will inevitably be defeated by Li Qing!"

"You said this, but more importantly, because of the existence of a person, I reached an agreement with Mrs. Zeng." Lu Fengchun said.

"What?" Lu Zhaoting was stunned, he couldn't turn the corner in his head for a while, he had sent troops to attack Quanying's defense line many times, and he was used to the scenes of the two armies fighting desperately. , I can't figure it out.

"Strange, shocked?" Lu Fengchun looked at his son mockingly, "Zhao Ting, you see, this is politics, even if we were working hard just a moment ago, vowing not to be at odds, but in a blink of an eye, we can fight for the same Come together with one goal.”

"In the past few months, all our battles have been done for one person, of course, this person is Li Qing!" Lu Fengchun said with a smile: "Li Qing is not stupid, and his advisers and secret agents are even more powerful. In order not to reveal our flaws, all the wars we have fought are real, and for this, both of us have paid a lot of sacrifices."

Lu Zhaoting swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Father, you mean, we have suffered so many casualties in the past two months, just to cover up the agreement between our two families so that Li Qing won't be suspicious! This is thousands of lives!"

Lu Fengchun sneered and said, "As long as we can finally achieve our goal, what are these people? As long as we have land and money, we will soon be able to recruit a large number of soldiers. But the only chance of defeating Li Qing and killing Li Qing is this." Once. Zhao Ting, in this regard, you are far behind Zeng Yifan who is opposite! You are so unprogressive, how can you manage Weizhou and take over my Lu family's foundation in the future?"

Lu Zhaoting smiled wryly and said, "Father, we lost Weizhou, so what kind of foundation do we have?"

Lu Fengchun sneered: "Weizhou is lost, but we can get it back, and we can even get more. Son, your uncle's lineage is basically over. He can't escape Li Qing's grasp. I guess, maybe Now he has fallen into Li Qing's hands, from now on, Weizhou will be mine, and it will be yours too!"

Lu Zhaoting stared at his father dumbfounded.

Linzhao, Lu Weixiong raged uninterruptedly for a day and a night. Both the city and the city suffered heavy casualties, but Linzhao was still in the hands of the Dingzhou army. When the panicked sentry reported to Lu Weixiong, the two battalions of Dingzhou behind him After the cavalry was less than tens of miles away, the northern army under the city finally collapsed, and Lu Weixiong fled in a panic with only dozens of personal guards.
