Chapter 240: The Old Lu Family Has Stood Up!
The shield wall was set up at the head of the city, and the Wei soldiers continued to kill it.
On the second parapet wall in the city, the two sides launched a bloody battle, and every minute and every second, someone was bleeding, and every moment someone fell down and became a corpse.
Many more were injured and could no longer participate in the rest of the battle.
Ziyu found that he couldn't hold it, and once again retreated very critically.
It's just that his second retreat failed to take too many troops with him.
The Zheng people were a little used to losing so quickly, and many of them only symbolically resisted, throwing away their weapons and surrendering.
Wei Xiang learned the lesson of the last time, found that the enemy commander had withdrawn, and sent troops to bite to the death.
The Wei soldiers who followed up once entered the third parapet wall, but they were counterattacked by the Zheng people and beat out.
Ziyu has now begun to doubt life.
He felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, it must be a relationship that the Jin army was too capable of.
"Even the State of Chu has repeatedly lost to the State of Jin, and the State of Qin almost lost the country in the first war, I have done my best." He comforted himself so.
In just one day, Zheng Guo spent a lot of effort to build the "Xinzheng" defense line, and it was broken through two layers in less than a morning.
The development of the battle situation made Zheng Junji furious.
He was still listening to the retainers sent by Ziyu last moment swearing that they would hold the second line of defense, and even teach the Jin army besieging the city a painful lesson.
How long has it been?
It is estimated that it will not even take half an hour.
Then, the second line of defense was lost!
Zheng Junji, who felt that he had been fooled, still had some sense.
He removed Ziyu from his position, but he was not arrested.
In other words, Ziyu was only removed from his position, not killed, and not arrested, which is really quite lucky.
No one dared to say good things about Ziyu.
Zheng Guo's top brass was not only stunned, but also fell into an extreme panic.
They felt extremely unbelievable that they had fallen two lines of defense in less than a day, and at the same time doubted the combat effectiveness of their own army, and felt that the Jin army was far more capable of fighting than they expected.
Because this is an era that still talks about "etiquette".
Hou Jin, the doctor of Zheng Guo, who had just taken over the defense of the city, sent his own retainers to ask the city, and he wanted to know which nobleman of the Jin State was attacking "Xinzheng".
The Wei soldiers replied that it was Wei Xiang.
When Hou Jin heard that it was from the Wei family, he said to others: "I have heard that the Wei family's military armor is rampant across the country, and it is better to meet if it is really famous." ”
The old Wei family did a great job in the business of armor and weapons, and would not only sell them to the nobles of their own country, but also purchase them from other countries.
The Jin State was the overlord of the Central Plains in the world, and the countries actually cared very much about the changes within the Jin Kingdom.
Hou Jin is an ambitious person, and he pays attention to the movements of the Jin State, and naturally he will also pay attention to the Chu State.
He remembered a rumor that the Wei clan had recently changed its fiefdoms a little bit, and that several fiefs had been connected after the crusade against the Qin State.
Now the nobles of any country, even if they are counted as one, they are very envious of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom.
It's not envy the other.
What I envy is that the nobles of the Jin Kingdom have a great voice in the country, especially the Qingwei family, which is even more powerful.
They knew why the nobles of the Jin Kingdom could argue with the monarch, purely because the power held by the monarch was not as strong as the throne family.
There are more vassal states, and the prince's clan is the strongest party.
The Jin Kingdom was controlled by the aristocracy.
The situation in the state of Chu is similar.
The two major overlords are nobles who have a lot of right to speak, but they are still overlords, and the nobles of some vassal states feel as if they have discovered something.
As an aspiring aristocrat, Hou Jin was extremely dissatisfied with Zheng Guo's current situation.
If he can choose, he really doesn't want to be a nobleman of an old surrendered country, and he really hopes to change the status quo of Zheng Guo.
It's just that, Zheng Guojiu is like this for a long time, and if you want to change, you really need a dose of fierce medicine!
"It's a pity that it's not the 'Qing' of the Jin Kingdom!" Hou Jin said something to his henchmen.
People who don't know still think that Hou Jin is looking forward to fighting with the "Qing" of the Jin State.
Only henchmen can understand what Hou Jin is sorry for.
If the "Qing" of the Jin State came in person, Hou Jin might be able to sell "Xinzheng" for a good price?
Although he felt pity, Hou Jin was ready to exert twelve points of strength to let the people of the Jin Kingdom know his ability.
To this end, he contacted several close families and asked them to give them greater support.
After Wei Xiang captured the second line of defense, he only put on a posture of attacking the third line of defense, but what he did was to immediately let the Wei soldiers sweep the second city.
"That's it." Wei Qi summoned the nobles of the army to the second parapet, pointed to the third parapet, and said, "If you want to attack, Yi Ye!" ”
The heavy infantry of the old Lu family once again taught them a lesson.
To deal with this kind of wall up to three feet high, go up and build a slope with a shield and provide soldiers to storm the wall.
In fact, what is the difficulty in attacking the city?
Isn't it because the defenders have the city walls to rely on?
It was not easy for the attacking side to get up, and many of the soldiers fell under the arrows, stones, and logs at the head of the city.
The nobles present couldn't help but look at Lu Wu, and there was too much exploration in their eyes.
They need to surround them now and wait for the arrival of the Chu army before proceeding to the next step.
"Wu?" Wei Xiang approached Lu Wu and said in a low voice, "When did the Yin Clan involve the development of a strong bow?" ”
Strong Bow ???
You're talking about crossbows, right?
Lu Wu looked at Wei Xiang puzzled, indicating that he didn't understand what he meant.
"My family can accommodate you, Han ......" Wei Xiang shook his head, simply spoke more thoroughly, and said, "Don't hate Uncle Han." ”
The old Lu family has already challenged the armor industry of the old Wei family!
still used the products of the new era to knock the old Wei family to the ground all of a sudden.
If it weren't for the rationality of Wei's group of talkers, and Lu Wu's willingness to give up profits, the two would have been like fire and water a long time ago.
The Han family is now a family of kings, and there is no need to endure in order to obtain the throne.
Because Lu Wu was willing to let the old Wei family be a second-class dealer.
Then there is the Wei family and the Han family are very close.
The old Lu family is acting as a help for the old Wei family to attack the throne, and Wei Xiangcai does not want to see the Han family and the old Lu family fighting each other.
Lu Wu has a deep understanding of the domineering family of the Jin State.
Those Qing families, each with their own business, will hold the market to the death, and will strike at every family that challenges it.
They are not only challengers against their own countries, but also against the challengers of other countries.
The challenge of their own country, their approach is to swallow it outright.
Challenges from the nations, they are their own spokesmen.
Is Lu Wu's heart weak?
In fact, he was somewhat weak-hearted.
It's just that I'm afraid, but not necessarily.
"It's not a bow, I'll call it a crossbow." Lu Wu explained with a smile and said, "The Han clan does not have this weapon, it is my family's original creation. ”
What the old Lu family made was not copper armor, leather armor, rattan armor, but iron armor.
Another reason why the old Wei family is willing to endure is that they are somewhat reasonable, knowing that the old Lu family is not playing a routine with them.
Han never stopped studying the "bow", and he didn't even leave behind a few tactics.
Lu Wu researched the crossbow, but it was only a small number of installations, and there was no matter how to sell it.
He will find an opportunity to communicate with Han.
As for what the outcome of the communication will be, we will talk about it then.
"That's it." Wei Xiang and Lu Wu looked at each other, and said with a wry smile: "Today's Yin clan is not before the age of five. ”
The old Lu family is now a medium-sized family.
If it is not lacking sufficient foundation, the fief and population are actually strong among the middle aristocracy.
Looking at Lu Wu's performance in several wars, the combat effectiveness of the troops he brought was not bad.
In particular, Lu Wu was appreciated by the Zhi clan and the Hao clan.
Recently, Bank of China also expressed goodwill to Lu Wu.
Once Lu Wu is forced to be in a hurry, he can't take refuge in one of them?
No one wanted to see Lu Wu completely fall to the family.
The result is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
Even, they found that the monarch had obvious wooing over Lu Wu, but while the monarch was wooing, he had to do something completely disgusting.
Therefore, as long as you are sober-minded, who doesn't see that the old Lu family is no longer a family that deliberately allows others to rub round and flatten?
The people of the old Lu family emptied a city of "Xinzheng".
The people of the old Wei family are also doing the same business as helping Zheng people move.
Groups of Zheng people were escorted out of the city, crying and shouting, without any sympathy.
In the next, the old Lu family and the old Wei family did the same thing again, that is, to give the captured Zheng people a dark face.
"Young women are exempt." Ge Cun was very busy, holding a bamboo slip in his hand all the time, and jotting down a few strokes from time to time.
The old Lu family's love for women far exceeds that of the rest of the families.
If you buy it, forget it, the last one made noodles early.
If you catch it yourself, there is no need to leave any marks on your face.
Even, for some young dolls, the old Lu family did not carry out the procedure of black noodles.
"Adult one thousand seven hundred and two...... Ge Cun glanced at the Zheng people who were tied into strings, and continued to record, while muttering: "Two hundred and twenty young women......"
As for the pots and jars, the valuable things will be recorded in detail, or take an approximate number.
Lu Wu would never give up any opportunity to increase his population.
Because they may be released in the future, the captives will not be tortured as long as they do not resist.
Bei Guo Lin felt that he was quite unlucky, and he didn't have time to escape to the second parapet.
He is a small person who lives in the north of "Xinzheng".
Now, he didn't know the news that the second parapet had fallen, and he felt deeply unfortunate that he had been captured, and that he would be a slave to be beaten and killed, and that he would no longer be a guy who could walk through the streets and alleys to protect his neighbors.
Touching the painful wound on his face, his eyes were uncontrollably staring around.
Escape?
That's impossible to escape!
Not to mention being tied up in a string with several people, can you run past a group of fierce Jin soldiers?
It's just that Bei Guolin is a little puzzled, how can there be a person with a dark face in the Jin State soldiers, who can still wear weapons.
He thought: "It should be a Jin country with the experience of being captured?" ”
The key is to listen to the accent, how is it a thick Qin dialect?
