Chapter 216: The monarch is not doing anything again!
It was only the first wave of attacks, and the troops of the old Lu family successfully attacked the city wall.
This made the nobles watching the battle feel normal and surprised.
There's no other reason why it's so complicated.
Xu Guo is really not a big country, not only is the national strength not good, but the combat effectiveness of the army is also like that.
It's just that LΓΌ Wu only attacked the northern wall of "Yi", and did not attack the other three city walls, and did not even send troops to put on a show.
In this case, if the commander of the defending army is intellectually [fo] constant, does he not know how to transfer the defenders from other directions to strengthen the garrison of the northern wall?
Nowadays, people do not have a very clear concept of siege, and generally take the siege of three que.
In other words, they will deliberately let go so that the enemy army will not be too desperate.
Before they start a siege, they will decide in advance which wall to attack, and the other two sides can be feints, or they can change from feints to real attacks.
The camp led by the Jin State was still wondering what happened to Lu Wu at the beginning, he had a record of capturing the four cities of the Qin State, unlike a person who didn't know how to attack cities, why did he only attack the north.
As a result, LΓΌ Wu's troops occupied the lower part of the city wall in one attack, waiting for the siege vehicles to arrive at the position, and the 500 heavy infantry went up to the city wall and then began to attack from the left and right sides, and in less than a quarter of an hour they successfully occupied the northern wall of "Yi", and they had a new view.
"The Yin clan is good at fighting, and the Xu country is too weak." Father Ji Sun Xing felt that he had still seen a very wonderful siege battle, and said to Lu Jun's black humerus: "The great Jin people are so heroic. β
The attack was full of rhythm, and the victory was determined in a seemingly unhurried fight, and the views of the nations on the Jin army have always been like this.
"It's a pity...... Lu Jun pulled a long tone and continued: "I haven't seen the feat of Yin Wu breaking the door alone. β
Ji Sun Xing's father was stunned for a while.
To be honest, he was a little unconvinced that Yin Wu could break down a city gate by himself, thinking that Jin Guo was just building his own "superstar".
Of course, he believed that Lu Wu must be a fierce general, otherwise Jin Guo would not have the face to build momentum.
Rather than their own martial prowess, they are aristocrats who have become rulers, and they would rather see a family's troops show strong combat effectiveness.
After all, no matter how brave a person is, an army can fight is the most helpful to the country.
The troops of the old Lu family successfully occupied the north city wall and entered the city to open the city gate, but found that the city gate was blocked by all kinds of debris.
When Lu Wu received the report, he couldn't help but be glad that he didn't do the thing of breaking the door alone, otherwise he wouldn't be embarrassed.
He sent the news that the city gate had been blocked to inform the king, and asked the soldiers to clean the hole in the city gate, and at the same time ordered the rest of the troops to prepare to enter the city.
After receiving the report, the monarch said to others: "Yin Wu must have known in advance that Fang Wei broke the door alone." β
Shi Xie praised the venue and said, "It must be so." β
Luan Shu kept laughing "hehe", and his hand repeatedly held his beard.
The monarchs of several vassal states, they were looking forward to it before, but they were disappointed when they didn't see it, and they could only accept the statement of the Jin monarch.
Cao Guo's Ji Yingshu said: "Why don't you order Yin Wu to go to its door? β
It means that today I have to see Lu Wu break the door alone.
Jin Jun Ji Shouman was a little moved.
He is very willing for Lu Wu to stage a solo break to earn face for himself.
Cao Jun Ji succeeded to the throne two years earlier (578 BC), but Cao Xuangong (Ji Lu) was killed when he was invited to attack Qin, killing the crown prince and establishing himself.
It stands to reason that the monarch of the Cao State sacrificed for the hegemony of the Jin State, and the Jin State should not watch the new monarch of the Cao State succeed to the throne in an dishonorable way.
Jin Jun Ji Shouman was also angry, thinking about whether to punish Ji Yingman.
As a result, Ji Chengshu quickly sent people to the Zhou royal family to complete the succession procedure first, and sent people to escort several carts of wealth and silk to the Jin monarch Ji Shouman first, and the matter of killing the prince and establishing himself would be over.
All the countries know that Ji Chengshu ascended to the throne by dishonorable means, and they don't like the new monarch of Cao Guo very much, but Ji Shouman, the king of Jin, has nothing to say, and the Zhou royal family also takes money to do things, so it's not good to say anything more.
"Your Majesty." Qi Xi looked at the monarch's expression and guessed what he was thinking. He really didn't want to make any troubles, and said: "Yin Wu has gone up to the city wall. β
Jin Jun Ji Shouman looked over and did see that Lu Wu's figure had appeared on the city wall, and couldn't help but show a regretful expression.
The troops of the old Lu family, under the advance of two heavy infantry, had already attacked the west and east sections of the city wall, and each occupied a part.
The heavy infantry who had climbed the city walls, as they had been trained in peacetime, formed a formation of "tortoiseshell formations", advancing slowly but firmly.
When Xu Guobing faced this kind of opponent who was completely protected by the shield, whether it was pecking, stabbing, or any other attack action, Xu Guobing could only bump into the shield every time, and he could not cause damage to the opponent at all.
And the heavy infantry of the old Lu family, from time to time, lifted a shield and threw a short-handled javelin, which could nail a Xu Guobing to death every time.
They can also squeeze the Xu Guobing who rushed up in the advance, first use the shield to get close to Xu Guobing, and then stab the sword out of the gap in the shield, the tip of the sword will break through the opponent's armor or clothing, and then stab into the opponent's body.
The surrounding companions fell one after another, but the other party was not damaged at all, Xu Guobing's psychological quality was not enough to face such a battle, first one had a mental breakdown and turned to run away, and there would inevitably be a second, third, and even a large group of hulala.
LΓΌ Wu stood on the edge of the city wall without a female wall and looked at the inner city, but did not see any chaos in the city.
As far as the eye can see, there are a lot of things discarded in the corridors, and the doors of each house are closed, making it difficult to figure out whether there are people in those buildings.
He also saw that some of the soldiers of the country were gathering, and the number seemed to be one or two thousand.
Farther away, I don't know if it's a low mountain, or a rammed earth raised platform, there are one after another large stairs, and there are many buildings on it, should it be the palace city range of Xu Guo?
"Bring in the crossbowmen." Lu Wu squinted his eyes at the Xu Guobing who were forming a team in the city, and said, "Dispel them first, and then encircle and annihilate them at fixed points." β
In other words, the crossbowmen of the old Lu family still did not fire a single arrow in this war.
Lu Wu did not deliberately want to hide, mainly because the number was insufficient, and it was suitable for fixed-point sniping, not for large-scale coverage.
He has never found Xu Guo's generals, or he really wants to let the crossbowmen cover it at a fixed point.
The city gate hole has been cleared, and a large number of old Lu soldiers have entered the city.
They ignored Xu Guobing on the other side of the complex and formed a formation in the open space next to the city wall.
In this group of soldiers, those in iron armor lined up at the front of the line, and those wearing leather armor, rattan armor, and wooden armor were at the back.
The order was conveyed.
About two-thirds of the soldiers moved to the left and right, leaving only a third of the troops behind.
Of course, Xu Guobing of the building complex could see that the troops of the old Lu family had been divided, and he felt dazed and discouraged.
I can't help it!
If you can attack the city wall in waves, how much morale can you have left?
If they weren't frightened, they shouldn't have stopped, and they should have immediately launched a counterattack on the northern wall, trying to take it back.
Lu Wu was waiting for the assembled Xu Guobing to launch a counterattack, waiting, waiting, waiting for a quarter of an hour, but the other party still didn't move.
He asked, "The left and right wings have already arrived at the position?" β
Ge Cun immediately said: "My family's offensive is like fire, and the enemy army will collapse at the first touch. β
Is the old Lu family's soldiers too capable of fighting, or Xu Guobing too wasteful?
Lu Wu pondered for a moment and could roughly guess what the situation was.
The old Lu family has been fully equipped with iron equipment, but if the iron weapon is not too wasted to cut the bronze weapon, it may not cut the bronze weapon at once, but the gap will definitely be the big gap of the bronze weapon.
One slash continues, and the second strike can collapse.
In terms of lethality to the body, the effects of the two weapons are also different, and the iron weapons of the old Lu family can pierce into the human body with less effort.
The old Lu family has always been the main force of the troops wearing iron armor.
Can a bronze weapon break through iron armor? Depending on where the attack goes, it is difficult to attack the iron piece of the cuirass, and it is difficult for the war or sword to have an effect with a single blow.
There are advantages in weapons and equipment, and then there is the confidence of the soldiers of the big countries, and it is too normal to press Xu Guobing to fight.
Lu Wu didn't want to stage any personal peerlessness this time.
It's not that he's going to keep a low profile.
It's time to test how much combat effectiveness the old Lu family's troops have.
Lu Wu, who was standing on the city wall, was actually quite confused.
In the war of Zhuxia, once the city walls and gates were lost, didn't it mean that the city was broken?
Normally, when the battle reaches this level, the defenders should collapse.
Didn't Xu Guo send someone to negotiate the terms of surrender?
LΓΌ Wurang the troops on the left and right flanks to launch a pincer offensive to cut off the rear road of the building complex, and the troops in front began to advance.
Xu Guobing, who was hiding in the complex, saw the troops of the old Lu family attacking from the front, and retreated without any hesitation.
They collided with the two old Lu family troops that had just moved from the left and right flanks, and were pushed up by the old Lu family troops in front of them, but they only resisted slightly for a while, and surrendered with more than one result of casualties.
Information on the battle situation from all directions was gathered on LΓΌ Wu's side.
From the beginning of the battle to the occupation of all the north and east city wall sections, and about two-thirds of the west city wall section, it has begun to advance towards the city, and the number of casualties on the side of the old Lu family has not exceeded 20 at all, and the minor and serious injuries have not exceeded 100; It is difficult to accurately count the number of soldiers killed for a while, and it is estimated that it is more than 700; More than 3,000 Xu soldiers were captured.
LΓΌ Wu reported the battle situation to the monarch.
The monarch Ji Shouman took the monarchs of several countries, including Luan Shu and Shi Xie, and several rulers and envoys of the kingdom to the north city wall to look at the situation in the city.
At this time, Lu Wu had already brought troops to the front of Xu Guo's palace.
This is an area on higher ground, with a large figure on it.
"There is no city wall...... Lu Wu knew that the palace city of Xintian did not have a city wall, but the palace city of Shangqiu of the Song Kingdom did. He said to Ge Cun: "The enemy army is retreating into the palace city, and I have decided to only besiege it and not attack it, and take the harvest from the city." β
Ge Cun certainly agreed.
Now, if it weren't for the necessity, who would have persecuted the king of a country too hard?
Xu Guo's palace city does not seem to have many fortifications, but it occupies the height of the terrain.
Of course, the old Lu family will not feel frightened, and they will definitely be able to push it up if they want to fight, but it is reasonable to rob and arrest people from house to house first.
Next, Jin Jun and others on the north city wall saw such a scene.
The soldiers of the old Lu family were divided into groups of five, and when they arrived at the house, they knocked on the door.
If the people inside took the initiative to open the door, they would be pulled out and tied up, and those who were hiding would soon be taken out by the soldiers, and the family would be neatly tied in strings.
If you refuse to open the door, don't blame the soldiers of the old Lu family for being rude!
The person who should be tied is tied.
The soldiers of the old Lu family began to enter the house and constantly move out the things they thought were worth taking, piling them up in front of the door and waiting for the vehicles to come and load them.
Ordinary people did not encounter resistance.
In the area where the nobles lived in the south of the city, the old Lu family met with resolute resistance.
To what extent is this resoluteness?
Anyway, it was far more determined than when Xu Guobing defended the city, and more than half of the dead and wounded refused to admit defeat.
Some nobles of Xu Guo will scold when they see that they can't bear it, what old Lu family is not authentic, and they are not even willing to wait for their own monarch to compensate, come over and not do personnel, they are still not an honorable nobleman!
Later, Lu Wu knew the situation and felt a little embarrassed.
He really didn't know that after the city was broken, he couldn't move if he wanted to move the nobles in the city.
However, it's all done, isn't it?
He will never stop, just apologize afterwards.
After apologizing, the jade that should be made up will be made up.
When the other party accepted the jade, it was their turn to talk about the ransom.
That's right!
I'm so polite!
"Yin Wu!" Xu Tong ran out of breath, and greeted him first before saying, "Your Majesty has arrived." β
Why?
Xu Tong saw Lu Wu's ignorance on his face, and said, "Don't go to see you yet." β
Lu Wu's face changed to puzzlement, and said: "This is wartime, there is no reason for this. β
Who doesn't know the unreliability of the monarch now?
If you can't see it, you definitely don't want to see it.
lest any moths become to you.
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, but he felt that Lu Wu was arrogant, and he leaned closer before whispering: "The Yin clan's attack on Miyagi has damaged its reputation. Why don't you take a step back and attack it instead? β
Lu Wu immediately showed an unhappy expression, and said very directly: "Except for the defenders of Miyagi, the rest have been annihilated by our department, and ordered me to withdraw at the time of harvest?" β
Nima!
It doesn't make sense!
As for saying that attacking Miyagi would have a bad reputation?
I'm not besieging but not attacking!
So, the king wants the prince to pick peaches, it's a human thing!?
Xu Tong was speechless, and was silent for a while before saying: "The king is the king, and several kings are also there." β
Lu Wu showed an embarrassed expression, and said wonderingly, "Don't you know that you have no jokes?" Ordering me to attack 'Yi' alone, and winning and ordering me to withdraw my troops, is not to lose my trust, but to lose my trust in the world! β
Xu Tong was once again speechless.
Of course, he knows that this is not authentic, but as a small role of running errands, what can he do?
Just as he was about to turn to leave, he heard Lu Wu speak.
"That's it." Lu Wu's face was depressed, and he said, "Tell your lord, I'll get out of the way." β
Xu Tong saluted gratefully, turned around and trotted away.
Ge Cun's lips moved, and he sighed but still didn't speak.
Lu Wu shouted loudly: "Order all departments to speed up the harvest, take things and kidnap people to return to the camp!" I went to the army and cried! β
Grass! (a plant)
I'm so obvious!
Xu Tong, a fool, doesn't know what to call it, so he has to add money?
