The dynasty has a daughter who is so tough

Chapter 215 The Little General Who Turned the Tide
Early the next morning, Lu Tiying sent Lu Jiaojiao with 5000 cavalry to provoke the rebels.At the same time, Lu Heying and Lu Xiaoman led [-] people, led by Cai Xiang, and sneaked into Kongsang from the mountain road led by Chu Shijiang.

In order to ensure that Cai Xiang can last until entering Kongsang, Lu Tiying has already ordered them to take turns carrying Cai Xiang.Therefore, unless the mountain road is really steep, Cai Xiang is carried or carried on his back.

It was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his ten years as an official, especially when he saw how these female soldiers could endure hardships, he was deeply moved.

He secretly made up his mind that if he was still alive after the war was quelled, he must tell the emperor all this and write it down to the historian to record their bravery in the annals of history.

On the battlefield, Du Xiang really planned to send 1 people to continue to deal with Luzhou, and then lead the army to go east to the capital.

Lu Jiaojiao provoked for a while but no one responded, she just shot them the prepared pamphlet with an arrow.

The rebels picked up the brochure and saw that it was actually a scene of Du Changqing being killed in the form of a painting.And later, he was kicked as a ball after his head was cut off.

Hurry up and send it to Du Xiang.

When Du Xiang saw it, he was furious immediately, and ordered the army to suspend the action for a day, and the [-] army will take turns to attack Luzhou City in the morning.Be sure to win Luzhou!
After reading the brochure, some soldiers reminded Du Xiang that the women in Luzhou might do this to prevent them from marching eastward, so don't fall into their tricks.

But Du Xiang said: "If you can't even win a group of women, won't you shake your military spirit and make the world laugh at you?"

Early the next morning, the [-] rebel army took turns attacking the city.

Luzhou, which had been prepared for a long time, also took turns in various defenses.In addition, the construction of Luzhou City is also very sophisticated. The city defense pattern consists of: tall and solid city walls, majestic towers, wide moats, deep moats, horse faces, enemy towers, turrets, archery towers, and urns.

At the same time, Lu Tiying asked people to hang a protective tool called Laida on the city wall, which was tightly woven into a soft curtain made of hemp rope, and then coated with a layer of mud to prevent the city wall from being broken by flying stones and incendiary bombs.

There are three or four artificial obstacles outside the moat, such as horse sinking pits, carbine repelling guns, thorns, staghorn wood, etc.On the ditch is the aircraft bridge trap device, which was secretly opened last night.

This machine bridge is no different from a normal temporary bridge at ordinary times, but when an enemy army attacks the city, the castania wood on it is removed. As soon as the enemy army steps on the bridge deck, the bridge immediately overturns.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Luzhou city is full of women. In order not to be bullied, generations of Luzhou hussars have tried to protect the women in the state.

Worked hard on defense.

In addition to the impenetrable city, there are also various defensive weapons, such as: various beating tools (there are sharp spikes on the pillars), brick beating, mud beating, car foot beating, and Yasha beating.In addition, there are spikes, wooden donkey carts, iron hitting wood, flying hooks, iron swans, rockets and so on.

Even the weapons of the soldiers defending the city are different from the field weapons. They are not long spears, short swords and broadswords, but crutches, grasping guns, crutches, forks and so on.These weapons are about seven or eight meters long, allowing the besiegers to fall off the city wall and die from a distance.

The siege begins.

The rebels sent 5000 people in the first round, and they swarmed towards Luzhou City like ants.Not far away, there was an army of blackness.

Lu Tiying stood on the tower, overlooking the situation below, and was very pleased with Du Xiang's decision to attack the city.Because if he chooses to attack the city, they can still use the strong city to resist it, but if they force their way to the east and the two sides fight head-on, Luzhou will suffer a lot.

Five thousand siege soldiers quickly approached the city tower. When they reached the machine bridge, the bridge deck suddenly overturned, and they immediately suffered a big loss.Seeing the trench with a width of seven or eight battles, and the trench covered with all kinds of sharp weapons below, I was dumbfounded, and I didn't know how to get there.

The siege general had no choice but to send someone to report to Du Xiang, and someone to send a solid wooden plank to build a bridge.

In this way, it was not until the afternoon that planks of the corresponding length were prepared to cover the trench.

However, after passing the trench and a wider moat, the rebels had to swim across the river.After entering the water, it was found that the river water had been poisoned, and he died before swimming across the river.

As a result, thousands of lives have been lost before approaching the city tower.Du Xiang almost went crazy when he heard about it.Order people to continue to attack the city, even at night.

However, the news heard the next day was still that the siege could not be completed, and the losses were heavy.

Soldiers offer advice, build mountains and attack the city, and attack the city from a condescending position with the advantage of a large number of people.

Du Xiang was overjoyed and sent people to transport soil and pile it under the city tower.

Seeing that they actually used this trick, the guards on the tower were startled, and Lu Xueying was at a loss, so she hurriedly asked Lu Tiying what to do.

Lu Tiying thought for a while, and ordered: "Prepare more combat equipment, prevent the rebels from building mountains, and raise the tower immediately!"

So, the rebels built the mountain for a day and a night, and found that the height from the tower was still the same as before, and they were very depressed.

Du Xiang shouted angrily: "This group of night women, if you don't kill them in the city, I swear I won't retreat!"

After resting for a day, Du Xiang adopted the "solitary emptiness method" offered by a lieutenant general.

While concentrating their forces to attack the main gate, they kept digging ten tunnels secretly in the south of the city day and night.Want to sneak into the city and attack quietly.

After Lu Tiying learned about it, she ordered the guards in the south of the city to dig a deep ditch in front of it in advance, and then sent troops to wait by the ditch.

In this way, as soon as the rebels showed their heads, they were immediately killed by the soldiers guarding the ditch.

After killing them so much that they dared not show their heads, they stuffed firewood into the tunnel they dug and set it on fire, and then used cowhide bags to blow the wind.

For a while, the fire and smoke continued to pour into the tunnel.Burned the rebels hiding in the tunnel so badly that it was too late to retreat.

Du Xiang failed to dig a tunnel, and ordered people to build "attack vehicles" to forcibly hit the city wall, trying to knock the city wall down.

Seeing this, Lu Tiying ordered someone to make a curtain out of cloth, and put it down immediately when she saw the attacking chariot rushing towards her.

The cumbersome attack vehicle slammed into the suspended curtain, using softness to overcome rigidity, the impact force was completely offset, and the city wall was not damaged at all.

Du Xiang was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

When things got to this point, he was even more indecisive.Retreat, not reconciled; attack but can't attack.

However, thinking that he, a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades, can't do anything with a group of women, he couldn't swallow this breath.What's more, these women were the murderers who killed their sons.

Du Xiang ordered people to find dry pine branches, hemp sticks and other flammable materials to tie on the long poles, pour ointment oil on it and set fire to the tent.He even tried to ignite the towers together.

Seeing this, Lu Tiying ordered someone to tie a sharp hook knife to the long pole.

Seeing Du Xiang's fire pole approaching, the soldiers above immediately swung their hooks and knives to cut it off.The burning pine branches and hemp sticks fell to the bottom instead, giving them a self-immolation game.

Du Xiang lost again.

But at this time, he was also war-crazed, and he was more determined to win Luzhou.

Du Xiang ordered to dig the city directly!

Dig dozens of tunnels outside the city at the same time, put several logs in the tunnels at the same time, pour oil on them, and ignite them.

In this way, several tunnels burn and explode together, and the city tower can be shaken and collapsed.

Seeing that Du Xiang was so crazy, Lu Tiying also ordered people to prepare iron fences and wall repair materials, and repair any collapsed areas immediately!

At this time, Du Xiang's madness has dissatisfied many people.

Why did you compete with a group of women when you agreed to win the world?Still so laborious?
At this time, news of Kongsang's mutiny suddenly came.

Cai Xiangtian, the elder of the three dynasties, descended to Kongsang, the soldiers in the city had surrendered and returned to the imperial court, and the imperial army will soon arrive in Mengzhou.

Du Xiang was furious after hearing this, and ordered the remaining 20 troops to march eastward immediately.Of the remaining 5 people, [-] continued to attack Luzhou, and [-] regained Kongsang.

The three cities fell into a fight at the same time.

Seeing that the rebels are out of control.

That night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, one person led a small group of people into the tent where Du Xiang lived, and suddenly chopped off his head!
And took the head to escape overnight, and ran towards the capital.

In the early morning of the next day, the news of Du Xiang's murder came out, and the dragons had no leader, and everyone was shocked.Several generals wanted to fight for the position of marshal, and the army stopped for the time being.

In the afternoon of the same day, news came from ahead that Emperor Wei Ji's personal conquest, with 50 troops, had arrived.

The rebels were in chaos, those who fled fled, those who surrendered surrendered, and 25 people became a mess.

"What's going on? Why did it suddenly become such a mess?" Lu Tiying, who was standing on the top of the tower watching, was also puzzled.

"Could it be that the imperial court's army is here?" Lu Xueying next to her speculated.

Lu Tiying nodded: "It's possible, but it's only been 20 days, so it shouldn't be that fast."

After thinking for a while, she said, "Xueying, you immediately lead a small team out of the city to arrest a few people and ask what happened."

"Okay." Lu Xueying nodded immediately.

Immediately go downstairs and take someone out of town.

It didn't take long for a few people to be arrested and returned.

Then I hurried upstairs to report to Lu Tiying: "It's strange, they said that they found that Du Xiang had been beheaded this morning, and then heard that the emperor had arrived with an army of 50 in the afternoon, so the rest of the people When I heard about it, I was frightened and stupid, and immediately became chaotic."

"Du Xiang was killed?" Lu Tiying couldn't believe it, "Who killed him?"

"I asked, but they didn't know either. But it's not a general, it seems like a small general."

"Young general?" Lu Tiying wondered, for a young general to dare to do such a thing, then he really has the courage and foresight.

Well, this achievement is not small, I don't know where this person is now, I really want to meet this little general who turned the tide.

Immediately ordered: "First close the city for three days, wait until they are almost gone."
