Chapter 142: What a Monster!
They easily captured the city gates, and entered the city without encountering decent resistance, and after capturing the noble manor, they learned that the nobles were not there, and most of the warriors were taken to wait for Qin Jun's command.
The nobles were not there, and the retainers could be taken away.
This is the reason why the defense of the "Hao" city is lax, and the resistance is slight in the face of invasion.
Lu Wucai didn't care so much, he personally looked through the bamboo slips of this house, trying to find some useful information.
After rummaging for a while, I didn't get any useful data, but there were a lot of "poems" and some "biographies" that recorded the glorious history of this family.
Because there were not many samurai connections, the battles were not so fierce.
By midnight, they had killed the rebellious Qin people and gathered the remaining ones.
Lu Wu paid more attention to special talents, and personally dealt with the captured craftsmen, so that he had time to meet some prisoners with special identities.
"How shameless you are waiting for the Jin people!" Dang Huan was full of anger and scolded: "Undeclared war!" ”
The other Qin people didn't speak, but they also stared at Lu Wu with resentful eyes, and they were full of anger at a glance.
"The Qin army attacked my cities such as 'Kei', 'Hao', and 'Hequ', have you ever declared war?" Lu Wu actually didn't have to talk nonsense with these people, he also learned and sold from the "Book of Absolute Qin", and after a while of ridicule, he said: "I can't wait to repay the other with his own way." ”
Zhao Dan added solemnly and said, "The widow's envoy has seen Qin Jun and submitted the war letter. We are not like the shamelessness of the Qin people. ”
"That's right!" Lu Wu was almost entwined in, and said confidently: "The widow monarch has declared war on Qin Jun, and the lord of the Dang clan led the army to wait for his life, so he shouldn't know it." ”
He motioned for Ling to come over and found a piece of jade from one of Ling's backpacks.
Dang Huan watched Lu Wu take out a piece of jade, slammed his head on the ground with a loud roar, and fell to the ground with a muffled snort.
In this year, the nobleman took out a piece of jade, and the meaning was very obvious.
Lu Wu looked at Danghuan who didn't know life and death in amazement, and his hand that wanted to hand out the jade froze.
He hadn't captured a nobleman in a serious way, and he wanted to capture one seriously, but the other party's reaction was so big.
The land is dirt, and hitting the ground with your head is at most a black blue forehead, and you may have a little concussion, but you can't die anyway.
The other party's reaction was too intense, and Lu Wu stupidly asked the general to be carried down, glanced at a few Qin people who were full of unconvinced faces, and said, "Dare to ask how many people have a clan?" ”
The men didn't answer, still angry.
Lu Wu thought for a while, looked at Huo Qian, and said, "Give them an honorable death." ”
Huo Qian didn't know what the death of honor was, so he led the troops to suppress those people and chose a place with good feng shui to wipe his neck.
Later, Lu Wu knew what Huo Qian was doing, and he didn't know if it was right to do that, so he didn't say anything.
He can't show his lack of learning and unskill.
Right?
In addition, doesn't the person named Danghuan also want to die?
The samurai of the old Lu family fulfilled his integrity.
When the Qin State invaded the Jin State, it did not talk about "etiquette", and when the Jin army invaded the Qin State, did it remember that there was such a thing as "etiquette"?
This is a double standard!
Subsequent troops in chariots and transport wagons were brought in, and the sight was a city full of light at night.
They didn't get much respite, and they had to take the prisoners and other booty with them to the city of "play".
Such transportation requires several round-trips, and will not stop until the valuable items of the "Hao" city are emptied.
After two busy days, Lü Wu led the army to wash the "Hao" city into white ground, and when he left, he asked the soldiers to set fire to the city.
The city of Qin in the Weishui River section cannot be said to be less, but there are only "opera" cities and "hao" cities on the south bank of Weishui, and there is no city belonging to Qin on the south bank of Weishui to the west.
Further west, it was not the habitat of the Qin people, and a Rong tribe called Lu Hun Rong was entrenched in the Zhongnan Mountains.
They were called "Yun Zhirong" by the Qin people, and they were not part of the Chinese cultural circle.
Lü Wu's choice to burn down the "Hao" city was out of consideration for sabotaging the strategic deployment of the Qin State.
The Qin State had a total of two cities on the south bank of Weishui, close to the territory of the Zhou royal family, and the "Hao" city was the largest one.
Looking at the degree of development around the "Hao" city, the Qin State does not seem to attach too much importance to it, but it has to think of a very realistic factor.
"Hao" City is the fiefdom of the Dang clan, and to what extent it can be developed depends on the strength of the Dang clan, and they obviously have not yet won the support of the national power.
The "play" city is too small, so small that it looks like an early warning city.
After Lu Wu captured the "Xi" city, people were tortured, and the feedback was that the nobles of the "Xi" city had changed several times, and the main responsibility of each one was to "shout" at the enemy army that came to attack.
That's right, it's "shout stop".
That is, to use "li" as a "weapon" to make the invading enemy army stop, and then send people to the Qin court to report.
It's a really strange thing.
The Qin people themselves did not talk about "etiquette", but they wanted to use "etiquette" as a "tool" to drag the enemy army.
Is it a usage of "gentleman bullying him"?
Lu Wu, who completed the task of cleaning the south bank of Weishui in only four days, wanted to find another place to harvest, but there was really no more.
They were stationed in the city of "play".
Some information came in.
The right army of the Hao clan was attacking "Gaoling", and after fighting for more than three days, they successfully climbed the city wall twice and were beaten down again.
And the middle route army led by Zhao Zhan and Xin Zhiqin, they bypassed the "Gaoling" and went directly to the Ma Tunnel.
At the same time, the "lower army" of the Jin state, along with the Zheng state, the Cao state, the Yi state, and the Teng state, also bypassed the "Gaoling" and followed the main force of the "new army" to the west.
By the time Lü Wu received the new order, the "Zhong Army" and "Shang Army" of Qi, Song, Wei, Lu and Jin, as well as the troops of the Zhou royal family, had arrived at the battlefield of "Gaoling".
The new order was for Lü Wu to lead his troops across the Weishui River and go to the north bank to join the battle sequence of attacking "Gaoling".
Lu Wu also asked people to burn the "opera" city, and then led the army to cross the river.
When they came to "Gaoling", they happened to see the Hao army slaughtering the city wall.
Because the new army general and the new army assistant were not there, Lu Wu was only a "military captain" and a "brigade commander", so he was naturally under the command of the "handsome" of the Xun family.
The "marshal" named Hao Zhou stopped the movement of Lü Wu's troops and demanded that they immediately attack the city of "Gaoling".
By this time, the Hao clan had been attacking "Gaoling" for twelve days.
Although he had just arrived and didn't have time to catch his breath, Lu Wu did not reject Xin Zhou's order.
Lü Wu took his troops and went to the west of "Gaoling" as instructed.
He didn't get his troops to attack in the first place.
If there is no siege equipment, how can you attack?
Before, he watched the Hao army attacking the city, and only saw a wooden ladder and a ram, but he couldn't see any siege equipment other than that.
The auxiliaries of the old Lu family took the tools and went to the woods.
The shield soldiers and archers in the army were singled out by Lü Wu.
The shield soldiers form a shield formation first, and the covering archers go to the test first.
On the eastern side of the battlefield, part of the "New Army" and the "Gaoling" defenders were firing at each other, while the remaining soldiers were on standby in the distance.
The auxiliaries who came with them were still cutting wood, and they needed to make the cut wood into a ladder, which took a certain amount of time.
The commander of the Zhou royal family was Shan Bo, his name was Ji Chao, and he was the "Qing" of King Jian of Zhou.
In the past, there was a single country, but the Zhou royal family moved, and the single country also moved eastward with the whole country, and then the country was gone, and the monarch of the single country also followed Zhou Tianzi.
In the Ji Dynasty, the Shan family only had food and no feudal state, and had served the Zhou royal family for three generations.
Ji Chao watched the Hao army attack "Gaoling" for seven or eight days, and knew that another Jin army came to join the sequence of attacking "Gaoling", so he changed the scene out of curiosity.
Lu Guo is very close to the Zhou royal family, and Ji Sun Xing's father has been mixed with Ji Chao recently, and he also followed.
When they arrived, it happened to be the time when the old Lu family's auxiliaries made the ladder to the city.
Lu Wu had the intention of building some other types of siege equipment, but the Yin clan was in a bit of a hurry and did not have time to build other siege equipment.
The shieldmen stayed in place.
The archers were withdrawn.
Three "brigades" began to advance slowly in the order.
The soldiers who walked in front, several of them working together to carry a wooden ladder, were ordered to cover the advance before they could reach the range of the defenders' archers.
The whole process was that arrows were constantly shot at the head of the city, and the soldiers under Lu Wu braved the arrows to move forward.
Every now and then, a soldier would be hit by an arrow.
When the soldiers who shot at Lao Lu's family, the arrows were either bounced off by the armor, or they were shot into the leather part.
And the old Lu family soldier who was hit by the arrow actually didn't shed even a drop of blood, so naturally he wouldn't fall.
The soldiers from Handan Zhao and the rest of the family, they will really rush blood when they are hit by arrows, and even lose their lives.
"Are these armor soldiers?" Ji Chao was stunned, and said very unexpectedly: "Who is such a luxurious person?" ”
Ji Sun Xing's father knew whose army it was, and said, "This is a member of the Yin clan. ”
"Yin?" Ji Chao thought for a moment and asked, "But can you pull out the Yin Wuzi of the mountain?" ”
Ji Sun Xing's father replied: "Exactly." ”
Suddenly there was a burst of cheers on the battlefield.
Ji Chao raised his eyebrows and looked over, but saw a man in metal armor, carrying a log and rushing straight towards the city gate.
This person is, of course, Lu Wu.
He had been informed that the army of the Hao clan on the other side had once again slaughtered the city, and the two sides were at a stalemate at the city.
The gate here was not blocked, but there were wooden bolts and several logs on top of it, and there were inevitably soldiers against the gate.
Without a battering ram, Lu Wu could only hold the thick log and do it himself.
He rushed to the city gate, and without any retraction, he slammed into it very directly.
In an instant, there was a muffled sound, and the city gate was slammed into a crack, and it shook a lot, shaking off a large cloud of dust.
In the section of the city wall, the soldiers of the old Lu family are already setting up ladders to climb the city, but the ladders are made in a bit of a hurry, and there is no part of "biting hooks", so they will be pushed down when they are put up.
Lu Wu retreated some distance, and against the arrows that kept shooting from above, he ran and hit it again.
This time, the two doors were knocked into holes, and it could be seen that some Qin soldiers were knocked out by the logs, and the rest of the Qin soldiers were stunned.
Lu Wu held the log and hit it repeatedly, and the scope of the hole was even larger.
The soldiers of the old Lu family around him had already surrounded him.
Ji Chao and Ji Sun Xing's father looked at each other, wondering if they were dazzled.
Holding a thick log to break through the city gate?
This person ......, I'm afraid it's not a monster!
